God Wants Us to be HAPPY...


I got inspired when I read one blog from Edel Madalay. It truly inspires me that  I decided to write and share it to everyone. Every morning is indeed a blessings from God. Let us be thankful and happy for every morning that we open our eyes and witness the beauty of life.

I have always believed that happiness is a choice. No matter how miserable you think you are, you can still choose to be happy. No matter how bad the situation may be, you can always choose to react differently and take things lightly.

The past months, I have observed how God tested my faith. I wished for a lot of things but only gained a handful. Or so I thought. Recently, I have been amazed by the little blessings coming my way. I didn’t recognize them at first. But eventually I realized they were indeed blessings showered upon me by the good and gracious one above.

Life is too short not to be happy. Each day is a gift and we should treasure it as if it were our last. Say a little prayer before you sleep and after you have awoken. Start your day with a smile. Thank each person at the slightest opportunity. Thank each good deed extended to you by doing something good to other people. Look forward to the coming days that are sure to be filled with wonderful surprises and God’s blessings.

God wants you to be happy. God wants me to be happy. Let’s be happy all the time, despite of and in spite of. Keep smiling everyone.

First Favorites...

Lahat ng first favorites shiempre memorable. Nakakatuwang balik balikan and when ever i do some flashback, napapangiti na lang ako. So, to refresh my memory i tried writing down some of my very first favorites.



 FUNNY KOMIKS 
This is the first komiks I really enjoyed reading. Uso pa ang rasyon ng komiks noon. At talagang iniipon ko pa ung mga Funny Komiks ko. Nahilig din ako sa drawing dahil dito. Kwelang kwela ang Aksyon Aksaya na ginawan pa ng movie ni Chiquito at nagkaron din si Anjo Yllana ng movie na Aksyon Aksaya.








VOLTES 5 
Halos tumakbo ako pauwi galing school sa hapon para maabutan ko ang first cartoon shows na una kong naging favorite subaybayan sa TV. Eto na yata ang naging favorite ng lahat ng mga bata non. May mga spoof movies sa din sa tagalog na ginawa like Buntis 5 ni Chiquito.





DINA BONNEVIE
Dina Bonnevie is one of may favorite local actress during my younger years. Sosyalera kasi ang loka bukod sa maganda eh englisera pa. She won first runner up sa Ms Magnolia seach sa tv. If I am not mistaken si Malou Maglutac yung naging Ms Magnolia that time. Naging big hit din yung single nya na "Bakit Ba Ganyan" kung saan nagkaron ng revival ang kantang ito na si Melissa Gibbs naman ang kumanta.





PINOY THRILLER/REGAL SHOCKER
At dahil addict ako sa kakapanood ng mga horror movies, tv show. Ilan sa mga naging favorite ko na horror tv show ay ang Pinoy Thriller, Regal Shocker, Guni-guni. To think na si Robin Padilla dyan unang napapanood bago pa sya sumikat.

Moving On

I'll be on a very short blog. There's too many things I want to write but I can't find time and energy to do it. Maybe because I'm not that inspired and I'm still depress for not having a solid plan for myself. I hate to say this... you'll see less of me for the days to come for I am gonna devote my spare time trying to make something big. I am up to something bigger in terms of expressing myself.
As of the moment, I cannot say that I am on the right track. For i really don't know what's really in store for me in the future. Having no job and idle for months now. It is normal that depression visits me once in awhile. I am now open about accepting that not all the decisions I made whether for my career or personal is right. Now I can talk about trying to win over depression and defeat. A good sign of moving on, soon enough it'll be okay. I am starting to go back to the track and willing to start again from the scratch.

I failed, somehow I am still depressed, helpless, erratic, selfish and alone. I was tested and continuously being tested. I am trying to cope and I am trying to stand up again little by little. I know every morning that I wake up with conviction I can tell myself that I can handle everything and face the challenges of life.

I realized that not getting what I aspire for won't make me a lesser person. I am still gonna continue to learn, to do what I am good at and share what I know from this day and everyday of my life.

23. Most of my friends akala eh graduate ako ng college. Unfortunately, hindi...it's a long story kung bakit di ko natapos at iyan ang isa sa mga frustrations ko.

22. I don't look my age. Lahat ng makilala ko sa new work ko or kung saan man, akala nila eh mas bata ako sa actual na edad ko. And because of that, I don't reveal my real age. He he he 

21. Na dati akong member ng Pax Romana Dance Troupe ng UST at Kalinangan Ensemble ng NCBA dahil sa dancing which means na dati mas magaling akong sumayaw kesa kumanta.

20. Addict ako manood sa TV, na kahit 24hrs na walang tulugan kaya ko basta gusto ko ung mga palabas.

19. Na hindi ako makapagpagupit ng skin head hindi dahil ayaw ko, it's because may malaking poknat ako ulo.

16. Favorite ko ang mga horror movies at feel na feel ko itong panoorin kahit magisa lang.
