Purpose...

A friend of mine asked me out of nowhere, "what's your purpose?"... To be honest I was caught offguard, I asked him why? and he said... uh nothing really just wanting to know you know 'coz I'm trying to find mine... Then it got me thinking... "what is my purpose?"

Pondering at what is it that makes us move on... sometimes we feel the world's too crowded, like all eyes are on us... but sometimes if we just look up at the open sky we see that the world is soo vast, so open and we feel so little, like who would even notice us if we are just a speck of something too big even for us to fully comprehend and grasp on our own. Then I realized...

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

up up and away!

I know its cliche but everyone is bound for great things... its just up to us if we choose to be so... the sky's the limit for our potential and the possibilities are endless, all what if's... all we need to do is figure out which "what if" do we choose... then go from there...

The Story of My Life

Never have I felt like I was in the shoes of the character I was watching. The terminal really hits the spot close to my heart.... obviously 'coz I could relate 'coz before I came back to the philippines with my family, we actually stayed in the airport in Canada for a day because of a problem that delayed our flight and since we can't go back to the city, we just made the airport our temporary shelter.

The reason why I wrote the story of my life is 'coz throughout the movie you'll hear Victor say the word "wait". I can only just smirk at the fact that I've had my share of waiting... and it seemed to have found its way as a integral part of who I am. Altough I may sometimes look anxious or excited, more often than not I just wait it out... whether it be something I long for, or something I just have to get over with... As cheesy as it sounds, I see myself in certain parts of Victor's personality.

The moral of the story... well take your pick... but for me, what I've gotten out of the movie is that "patience is a virtue". Things will work themselves out one way or another, we may encounter a few bumps along the way, along with a few good moments although small, can mean a lot to the people we meet during that time of waiting... The true value of a person's character is how they are able to react and adapt when faced upon scenarios that is not expected... because our spontaneity is how we can truly be who we are, its something that comes out naturaly and that's how we can truly realize who we are and what we have.

So I guess all I have to do now is just... wait ;)

Mourning

I thing that I hate most is when children get hurt. I've been watching the events unfolding with the carnage in Russia and it just gives me a bad taste in my mouth. I know people have varying opinions with regards to the war on terror, esp with how US President Bush is handling it. In my opinion he's actually doing the right thing. Because of what's been happening now in the world it seems we haven't learned anything since 9/11. It clearly just shows that these people (if you'd still call them that) doesn't care what nationality you're from, your race, even your religion 'coz your stupid if you actually think that these people honor the religion they claim is guiding them. That's just utter blasphemy!

I really hate the mourning, the families and friends that have to go through the suffering of seeing their loved ones becoming victims to this inhumanity. And then these so called righteous individuals start broadcasting now that we will avenge their deaths! I think its a bit too late to take the limelight now don't you think? We should start being proactive with this threat instead of ending up always reacting to it. There's just two sides to this crisis... no inbetweens... where should you stand...

Here's something to help you decide...
