On Taking Pride in Your Hardwork

midnightanxiety — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 02:45:21 +0000

Blame the process and not the person, because people who take pride in the hard work that they do take offense very deeply.

There’s a little sprinkle of Erin Brockovich fairy dust on that saying of mine hehe

Have a good mid-week everyone.

Courage and Strength

Lao Tzu said

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

In which case, in this moment I feel like I can reach for the moon and crush it in my hand… and I have the heart to quell all negativity…

Courage and strength, God’s gifts to me this evening

Of Rumors

Saw this on FacebookThis pic spoke to me because at one point, I was one of those idiots… and it almost cost me a great person to be with.

But lies melt in the face of truths, if you give it a chance

Just Because You Can

midnightanxiety — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 04:58:17 +0000

I found myself telling this to my partner recently: “Everything would be perfect if I only had my health.”

Yeah, I’ve been under the weather lately. The worst kind – asthma. It’s been keeping me from work and running

But the thing is I did this to me. I mean, I’m the one who decided to push myself to the point of exhaustion. Between work, workouts and running… I guess it was really just a matter of time before my body said “STOP.”

I think this applies not only for my physical health but a lot of other things in my life, and maybe yours too

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Have a restful long-weekend everyone. I know I will

I Must Have Done Something Good

midnightanxiety — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 01:55:57 +0000

I am feeling this song right now, Something Good from The Sound of Music

Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked miserable past
I must have had a moment of truth

For here you are
Standing there
Loving me
Whether or not you should

So somewhere in my youth
Or childhood
I must have done something good

Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

Here you are standing there
Loving me
Whether or not you should

So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could

So some where in my youth or child
I must have done something…
Something good

I don’t know how this happened, but somewhere in my younger years I began to question whether I am inherently good… that maybe all this goodness that people see in my is a facade, even to myself. But I believe in the law of karma, and when great people come to my life, like right now, it’s like the universe affirming to me that I am indeed good.

Such a Gift

It’s such a gift to be so connected with someone, that you shed tears when you see that person so happy. That is raw grace.

Happy weekend everyone

With the new Siri for IOS5 out, a ton of stuff has come out of the woodwork about it, reminiscent of IOS’s autocorrect.

To Change Back

midnightanxiety — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 02:23:12 +0000

People who’ve known me for a long time get worried when they see a pensive expression on my face because they know that however I mask it, which I really cannot, there is a lingering sadness there and a hunger for change.

I guess there is a want for change, but it’s more of a change-back really. There are parts of me that I kind of lost along the way.

The independently-empowered me. That’s why I have this need to travel, because traveling with yourself is very empowering. But I also understand that this is not the best way. I should not rely on outside forces, people and activities to sustain me. I mean, I should be able to connect to my place of empowerment from within. What’s ideal is that I should be able to tap into that place, where God resides in my heart. I know I can.

Each of us can.

This way of thinking was told to me by a good friend of mine Denilla, but back then I couldn’t understand it. We were in Denmark then, and I felt stuck there because I didn’t have my family, my home, even my books. She told me that those things shouldn’t be the only things that lift me up. God, who is everywhere and in me, is supposed to do that. Of course during that time, more than six years ago, I shrugged the idea off and didn’t even try to scratch the surface of that concept. But the thought lingered and when I finally understood it, I remembered

May God be with you, as YOU. Happy Sunday

Itching to Travel

midnightanxiety — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 07:07:55 +0000

I need this. I need to one day find myself in a beach somewhere

Samal Island

Standing on a raft at Sunset, Lago de Oro

Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur

Peal Farm in Davao

Camsur

Underwater, where I don't remember

When you’re a traveler there are days when the invisible wings on your feet just starts flapping by itself, you will have to one day surrender and be swept away.

I will have to do that. Soon.
