It Was Painful! And Still It Is!


Every time I look at the mirror, the scars in my face remind me of my most painful experience in life. One year ago, my bestfriend and I were riding a motorcycle on our way to the town when we got into an accident. Everything was so fast. I was texting while riding behind my bestfriend when we hit a tricycle. The impact was so forceful that it made us scattered away. The moment after that, I saw my bestfriend filled with blood because of the impact. Yeah, he broke his skull. I was lying in the middle of the street filled with bruises in the face as well and in some other parts of my body.

We were rushed in the hospital after that. I survived but my bestfriend did not. He died because of head injury five minutes after we reached the hospital. That was very traumatic and I am hoping that that incident will never happen again. I lost my bestfriend. Yet, I know that he is really happy wherever he is right now. Even though he is gone physically, I cannot forget those happy times when we were still young playing basketball together and singing in the band with him on the base guitar.

My Grandpa's Advice


It's been 2 years now when my grandfather passed away. I can still remember how painful those days are for me. It is really hard to feel when someone dearest to you is now gone. However, only the physical presence of my grandfather is gone, not his memories, at least for me. We shared a lot of good times together. Even though he was strict sometimes, I'm still thankful for him because of all the lessons he had taught me. It made me a greater person. He also taught me how to save, how to be a good neighbor, and most importantly, how to be a good child.

One of the most unforgettable advices my grandfather has shared me is the essence of being persistent and patient. Once he told me that these are the qualities that you need to possess in order to become successful in life. He was a businessman back then and most of his business was good because he was good at it. He was very patient when it comes to managing everything. Sad to say that he's gone now. I miss him a lot. Yet, forever, I will cherish all those times we had, and all those lessons he had taught me.

I Am a Dreamer!


I am a 21 year old dreamer. When I was still young, I dream to becoming rich someday. Yeah, and I think everyone desires to become rich in one way or the other. This is the reason why we acquire education, we look for jobs and explore new things. However, I realized that that was a stupid dream of mine. Why? Because I thought being rich is the only way I can have to be happy. Well, I though it wrong.

Money is not the answer for everything. I'm not saying that being rich is bad. I don't condemn rich people. I'm not a bitter person. What I am trying to say is that, you don't have to be rich to experience happiness. You can find happiness through simple things. With people around you. People who care for you and love you.

Your wealth will pass away, but the friendship you have with your neighbors, friends and families will stay for a lifetime. I am still dreaming to become rich someday, it's not yet too late I know, but I won't forget special people around me because though them I can find the real happiness of life. Money is nothing without them.

Be Happy! Be Healthy!


Happiness – this is what we all aim for. People can not be happy all the time but we can be contented and fulfilled. According to studies made, happiness is not about acquiring material things but on how you set an outlook in your life and how good your relationship is with other people.

Be optimistic and follow your gut. Having a positive outlook is very important. Yeah, life is hard but for people who are optimistic, life is exciting. Take problems as a challenge to improve your self. Don't be afraid to do what you want. Make choices and take chances or else your life will never change.

Stay close to your family and friends. No happy person is alone. You need the company of your family in order to be happy. True happiness is by having a good relationship with other people especially with your loved ones.

Work and earn money. Love your work and be contented. Earn and buy stuff you want. Nothing is more fulfilling than savoring the fruits of your hardships.

Smile and forgive. Study shows that when you smile, even though you happy or not, your life will be elevated. Don't forget to forgive those who sinned against you. It lessens the pain and it contributes to a better cardiovascular health. These things may also lower the perception of stress.

Make friends with people who share your interests and faith. Go to church regularly and you will find satisfaction. People who go to church are happier than those who do not. It is always good to find someone whom you can talk to about everything.

Hello Goodbye!


They say that the most painful thing in this world is losing someone dearest to your heart. I guess so. I have already experienced being left alone by someone whom I really love the most. The experience was very painful that I burst out and cry. However, that experience has brought me lots of lessons in life. It taught me how to be strong and how to smile even though my world is falling apart. At first, it is very hard to accept the reality that everything is now over between the two of you but little by little, you will learn how to move on and eventually, find another love that will give you happiness.

Saying goodbye is always difficult but sometimes we need to do that. I mean, that's already part of our lives. People come and go and so feelings do. You cannot possess someone you love forever. There are reasons why they came into your life and then suddenly they leave you. They were just trying to give you lessons. They were just there for you for a while to show you the reality of life. Just remember that every time someone bids goodbye, there will always be someone who will say hello to you.

I Love Her!


I don't know why but I simply love her. I can't explain the feeling I feel every time I'm with her. It feels like the world stops and there's only the two of us. I know this is weird and crazy but that's what love can do anyway. It's unfathomable.

I've known this girl for more than a year now. But with that little span of time, I feel like we are already together for a lifetime. Yeah I know it is so early to say but sometimes it doesn't have to take a million years to know if the girl is really for you or not. You will just simply feel it.

We've together experienced lots of ups and downs already. Anyway, nobody said that it's easy. Keeping the relationship alive is not just a sip of coffee. It takes lots and lots of effort, patience and love. There are times that I wanna give up as well but then I know in myself that it is not the best thing to do when the going between the two of us gets tough. What we need to do is to stay even stronger.

I love her. As simple as that. I don't want to give up on her no matter how hard it is sometimes. I just hope that one day, all of these will not go into waste. Yet, life and love is really like that. A gamble. And it is up to you on how you play your cards.
