what journey?

so many times i read about "journeys in life"... some people say plan it carefully for intended goal, others say it's not the destination but the "journey"...

what journey? if you think you are in one, think again... if you said life is a journey, think again...

our lives are defined by every single decision that we make, so in every single moment of our lives, we are in a crossroad. and after selecting a path, then another crossroad... and another crossroad...

there's only "Yes" and "No"... sometimes you even can't chose, you are pushed to take roads you don't want to... sometimes the path you want to take is blocked... then we try to overcome those blockages, but doing that is already taking another path...

so what journey?

senseless

what happened in maguindanao yesterday is purely evil... and as a matter of fact senseless... i wonder how the minds of these people conceive such actions... in an obvious state, who would take the lives of defenseless and clearly non-aggressive women out to file a certificate of candidacy to challenge the incumbent politician... in an obvious state, the incumbent politician has not issued any statement (admittance, denial, or the standard "we will investigate and bring justice to these criminals") regarding incidents within his own backyard... in an obvious state, a presidents' absence of political will to arrest and persecute the characters of this senseless violence...
i wonder how someone would ask his/her God for forgiveness on this... one can convince the whole world that he/she didn't lift a finger on this, but can that person convince himself/herself and his/her God?
a life-giver lost her life to the very people given life by their mothers... how can i even convince myself to forgive these people...

a conversation

"Do you believe in God?"

"Yes I do" I answered. "Why do you ask?" I shot back.

"Do you really believe that your God can save you?"

"Of course I do, What kind of question is that?" I insisted.

"If so then jump from this tall building and believe that you wont die and your God or His angels will save you"

"Ah... I've heard that one before, and I can still remember the answer..." I responded.

But then I remember I'm not JC. Damn, How would I... How could I...

I realized that i have heard that questions before and i know the answer but it was never directed to me. Not until now...

"Well, I don't think that is what God wants me to do." I reasoned out.

"Im pretty sure that if I jump on that building I be will saved, if not my physical form... then definitely my soul..." whew, nice one.

"But God doesn't want me to do that, He wants me to spread His words... and His love."

"There are already so many people doing that."

Whoa, I wonder where do he get his persistence.

"And I'm one of them..." I said, smiling sheepishly... I knew I have won the battle, but the war is still far from over...

then silence....

sunscreen...

Pray and Love... could be interchangeable but one will not survive without the other... Some people may call their God differently, respect it...

sunscreen without the sun can do damage

Here's my own version of Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen

Shyness can be mistaken as aggressiveness. Being quiet does not necessarily means agreeing to something. We think that everything we do will eventually make us happy, we wont. The absence of goodness is evil, evil cannot procreate itself. It's true that the world is round, sometimes it's bright and sunny, sometimes it's dim and gloomy... also sometimes, in other parts of world the sun never sets and the moon never sleeps... so forget about waiting for the world to be in your favor, do something before it does. How many times have you heard that "it's not the destination but the journey"?... how many times have you actually listen? Everyone is equal, when you hug a tree, the tree doesn't care whoever you are... Freedom, the chance to have choices or the choice to have chances...

Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience… I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked…. You’re not as fat as you imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth. But trust me on the sunscreen…
