Life's Missing Instruction Manual 9:13 PM

Never dwell on the mistakes you did in the past. We're bound to make mistakes. Life didn't come with an instruction manual; and even if it did, you sure won't follow it.

Be spontaneous. Take risks. Eat that tempting isaw or fishball because life is too short not to. Travel without a destination in mind. Embrace life because you're only young once.

Someday, if you look back to this time of your life, you'll smile at how this was the best years of your existence. Don't listen to other people, only listen to your heart. Other people can't tell you what makes you happy, YOU tell them. x

Breathe 2:40 AM

Had a long week at work or a stressful one at school? Have you worked your butt off non-stop this week? Have you had thoughts of giving up?

Then, stop. Breathe.

The weekend is always a time away from the things that stresses and upsets you. Most of the time, we use it to meet our friends, hangout, get drunk or be high of caffeine (like I do). But have you ever used the weekend as a time for yourself? Have you tried to use your free time as a FREE time?

Sure, we should not let a minute pass w/o doing something out of it but sometimes, when even the alcohol or coffee is not enough, the best stress reliever we can have is SILENCE.

The Art of Risking It All 12:14 AM

The difference between "shouldn't" and "should" is usually defined by a person's courage of taking a risk.
 

I saw this on Charlie today and it reminded me of the things that I didn't do in my life.

Mark Twain, an American author, once wrote:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Yes, there would be countless times that you'll be denied, rejected. You'll fail at some point but there is no greater courage than to be the one who kisses first; to be one who jumps first; to be the one who sails through the ocean despite not knowing if there's actually something in there.

You may fail miserably but at least, you have a story to tell. You did something in your life.
They say you'll never feel more alive than that moment in between jumping off the cliff and hitting the water.

Chasing a dream isn't easy but people who never tried to chase a dandelion never gave their selves a chance to become what they have always wanted to be.

 A “hey, I may have failed spectacularly but at least I have a story to tell, I *did* something with my life and I’m a heck of a lot braver than I thought” is much better than a “what if I had tried that? Now I’ll never know, and always regret.”

Martin Luther King, Jr is my Hero. 11:15 PM

I posted this on Facebook last January 17. Forgive me for the delay. :)

Yesterday, January 16 was the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Today (due to time zone differences), halfway across the globe, people are celebrating the life of a man who chose to make a difference. He will always be one of the few people I'd love to have breakfast with. I hope many people will choose to be like him because he chose equality despite the differences.

He chose to let love reign. x

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

It WAS About FEAR. 11:08 PM

I remember seeing this from a friend's book. This WAS the story of my life. Since reading this, my life had never been the same.

It's always good to look at simple things and then be inspired. It amazes me, how the smallest of things and events trigger all the transitions you needed in life. Yeah, so I suggest you stop once a day and look at everything around you. Maybe, you'll find everything you've been looking for in the smallest of moments. x
