Alive

Dear Reader, 

 I really can't understand on how people just wake up one morning and just decide to lose their feelings to their love ones. It's something that I really can't explain. They lead you on and from that moment you will feel attached. They are inspiration in everything. They will be a normal habit that you cannot just "ignore"  because they make you happy and you can never ignore happiness. They will make reasons like this and like that but the truth is that if you really like someone there are no "buts" and you'll risk it all. You will risk everything and you will take the fall. The outcome of that scenario will lead to two things: to be happy or to get hurt. 

If you risk it, you can be happy. It starts in the morning where you receive their texts. And somehow you don't need coffee for you to feel alive in the mornings. You'll just feel alive with one simple text message. You are inspired to breathe and survive a day because they are there for you. Maybe not physically but emotionally they are present in your heart and mind. They will be your inspiration in everything. When I say everything I mean everything you do because they will know a side of your life that you don't usually talk to other people. With that, they become a daily routine that you are really happy to do everyday. You are constantly thanking God for meeting them and praying for your blessings in life. Especially them. And they will never fail to amaze you with the things they do. And you are constantly charmed in everything they say. It's like everyday there is something new that makes you love them more than yesterday.

If you risk it, you can be sad.  They will still be a daily routine. It's like a get to know each other stage. With that you will feel happy. But for only a meanwhile. But when the rising action falls, you will feel alone. They will just get cold to you and you will be sad.  You will try your best to restore "what's normal" but it will never be normal again. You'll just want to be happy again. You will just want to wake up one morning not missing them. You will try to ignore that by doing other things like a hobby or your studies but in the night, you will over-think about scenarios if they miss you like you miss them or do they even think about you and feel the sadness that you are feeling. It will be hard to move on but you will learn.

Never be scared to take risks. Because that is life. It's all about taking risks, to choose paths and to learn. But  a wise tip: Never love them will all of your heart and body. Because when they get cold and leave you, you will feel lost. Like you don't know what do anymore in life.  But I am not encouraging you not to love because love is beautiful. It's the building foundation of everything nice and beautiful here on Earth. Just be cautious on who are trying to have your heart. But when they do capture your heart, they should never really stop trying everyday to make you feel that you are lucky and blessed that you are live.

Love,

Valentines Day

I am back. I don't really know why but I am inspired to write a blog about Valentines Day.... Well to help you guys, I'm gonna tell you the story of Valentines day. It was during the reign of the Roman Empire. Christianity was banned and Christians were tortured at that time. So sacraments of Christianity were highly illegal so if you get caught, you'll get tortured and you will die. So there was a guy named St. Valentine. He believed that the power of love can overcome anything so he then marries Christians secretly. Maybe in catacombs or in secret hideouts. So then he got caught and he became a martyr for believing in love and his faith. 

Now, people living today use Valentines as a way to show their love for their mate. They buy them flowers, they buy them big teddy bears and they buy them chocolates. They use one night to show them that they will love them unconditionally in one night. But here I am questioning all of the people who only use February 14 to actually show that they care. 


Bro, if you do love her, you won't just use one day to actually show to her that you care for her. Show to her that you will love her unconditionally and show to her that you care for her. You shouldn't just be a gentleman for one night, you should always be a gentleman whenever she's around. You know? Open doors for her, etc-etc. Show to her that she means to you more than she knows. Make little efforts from time to time, or surprise her. It's easy to say all of these things but it's hard to do. But if you really really like her, nothing can block your path.



If you're actually single this Valentines, don't worry. You'll get your chance soon. So just go with the flow. Here's my advice though, you don't have to be bitter that you don't have a date. Valentine's day isn't just about a girlfriend or a boyfriend. It's about love. You can share your love to your friends and family! So stop bitter tweeting about it and just show your love to your family and friends. 


I'm getting off topic but if you truly love someone, you wouldn't just use one day to prove it. You must love that person 365 days. One of everyday you did, you do and you will love that person. Because you must feel that whenever that person is around, it's always Valentines Day.

Perfect Match

Dear Reader,

No one is perfect. You are not perfect and you should know too that he is not perfect either. But you should realize that he makes you laugh all the time whenever you're sad or lonely that helps you to think either. And if he efforts in talking to you and admits that he's only a human being, never let him go. Give a piece of your heart to him and let him take care of it. And if you let him sink in that he has your heart, which will require patience. He will think about you everyday, he will retweet really lovey-dubey tweets on his Twitter account, he will put romantic statuses on Facebook and even post pictures of sweet things on Instagram. And in that moment, he will give you a part of him that he knows that you will never give up in. Just don't give up on him. Don't just say "you give up" because of simple fights because giving up is not worth it. If you're mad, be mad at him. If you're sad, tell him. And most importantly, if you miss him, call him and say you miss him. Enjoy every bit and enjoy every moment when you guys are together. Love exist in happiness. I said earlier that there are no perfect guys but there's always one guy that is perfect for you.

What Disney Taught Me

Dear Reader,

Here's a list of what Disney taught me.

In Toy Story, Buzz and Woody's friendship taught me that we should help our friends no matter what. We should help our friends, cherish them, love them and appreciate them because you just don't know when you're gonna lose them. We should make them important because sometimes your family is not enough to help you. You need friends to help you know what things that you don't know about yourself because your family can sugarcoat your flaws but your friends will help you overcome them because a good friend sometimes tell us things that are hurtful, but they have the best intentions for us. So always remember to care for them to infinity and beyond.

In Monster's Inc, I learned that no matter what , we will give everything for those we care for. Like in the situation of Boo and James Sullivan. The story teaches everyone that when you truly love someone, you would do anything to make them happy even if it means to say goodbye.

In Finding Nemo, I learned that for our love ones, we will do anything. The difference between the lesson in Monsters Inc and in Finding Nemo is the story line that the father crosses the vast ocean just to save his son, Nemo. If we compare it today, saying “You’re my Nemo” is a simple way of saying: “I’d search every inch of the world to find you.”(Metaphorically speaking) and I know that we all have that Nemo that we will do anything just to find them. Anything.

In Cars, I learned that the greatest victories are the people we meet along the way. The people we meet along the way are the people who will give us the wisdom and experience to win life. Life has a funny way of bringing you the same test over and over again, until you pass it. Like in life, you don't need fancy trophies to know that you won, but you need experiences to know what you have become.

In Ratatouille,  I learned that no matter who you are or what you are, you can do it if you believe in yourself. In the story, a rat wants to be chef. But as you can see he found a way to cook which is hard but he pursued it with determination. In life, we can compare it to everyone. Because everyone has the potential, but not everyone can be great.

In UP, I learned that no matter how old you are, the adventure never ends. It will never stop. Because that's how it works you just need to cope with that. Always remember that time is a coin that you can spend only once, use it, invest it, and make it count.

In Wall-E, I learned that no matter standards we set for our ideal lover, he or she will always be an exception. In the story, I learned that no matter what you are and no matter what you do, love has no limitations and love will never forsaken you. It will guide you to a right path just like it guided Wall-E to the ship that helped lead the people back to Earth. And Lastly, I learned that people who are meant to be together will always find their way back to each other. They might take detours in life, but they’re never lost.

There are so many lessons in Disney movies that will guide me and you. But I know for sure that life will never stop for anyone. So we can learn from our mistakes or live in the past(which is wrong)... You decide and always remember that the greatest gift you can receive, is another day of life. Another day to learn and decide what's right for you and for others.


Love,
El

Mistakes

Dear Reader,

I know it's hard to let go. You talk all day, everyday actually. You fall asleep on the phone together. You wake up with a smile in your face because of the morning texts that really lightens up your day. You think about then when you're asleep, you dream about them. You spend time with them in Skype dates or even in real dates that really makes you happy. Actually, you're happy whether it's just the internet or in real life. They soon become a part of you. They soon become a habit everyday that makes you happy and you get used to it. Then all of a sudden, they leave. And permanently, they're gone in your life. Just like that. That means no more late night phone calls, no more Skype dates, no more cute messages when you're in a bad mood (actually no texts at all) or if they text you will feel no emotion. The first few days you just want to really really really texts them the 3 words that everyone wants to hear: "I miss you" in every way. You will want to tweet them, message them on Facebook, call them and especially text them really do everything to restore what's "normal" between you two. But as much as you want to try and to restore it, things don't change.  The hardest part is to let go. You always check your phone and every time it rings or vibrates your heart hopefully wants them to text, you check their Twitter or Facebook accounts if they're talking about you on how they "miss you" or if they have someone new. This person that was once your everything is now just a memory. A painful memory that just replay and replay in your head. You spend nights reminiscing everything that you guys did. The sweet texts, the romantic morning and evening texts, the Skype dates, the shared laughs, the hugs and especially the kisses, all the good things that went on during the time when you two were together. You will spend days, weeks or even months or maybe years. Remember that this was just a fragment of time, a memory that will someday fade and I think that the only reason people hold onto memories so tight is because memories are the only things that don't change; when everybody else does. Your friends, family and God may help but the only thing that can heal a broken heart is time.

But in order to move on and get over it, you have to be able to tell yourself that they're not worth it, and you deserve better, and you'll find someone new. The best feeling comes when you realize you’re perfectly happy without the people you thought you needed the most. It's because hardly, you can't live in the past because life doesn't work that way, life is meant to be traveled forward not backward.  Yes the memories hurt but the memories makes you strong everyday. It's their fault because they missed out on true love. I hope that this is a lesson for them to realize that everyone makes mistakes but their biggest one is losing you.

Love,
El

September 21,2012

Dear Reader,

It's the middle of the year and it's Friday. As usual I'm gonna go out with my friends. Funny how it's the middle of the year and I'm still single and I'm not even hoping to have a relationship yet because it's stressful and moving on really really really really really breaks your heart into a million pieces. I can't say to you to not fall in love because it will leave a scar in your heart or even never try to fall in love because that doesn't work that way. Yes sure it will leave a scar or it will a trauma... But we're human. It's the experiences that makes us stronger and wiser. But you know what? Here's what I will say to you: Never stop trying. Never postpone the chance to love because it's a rare opportunity. If you think that person is the one, never give up and never  lose a chance of saying "I love you" to that person (oh boy here's me again being cheesy) but it's true! Because you just don't know if that person you're talking to will be with you in a rest house in the beach   with you and that person sitting on a rocking chair holding hands together while you watch your grand kids playing in the sand while you and that person look eye to eye and heart to heart and saying "no regrets" to each other without using your mouths, but using your hearts. But for the meantime, just say hi and be friendly to people... Because we just don't know.

Love,
El

Dear Reader,

All people wants to leave a legacy here on Earth. Like me, I am Muay Thai player. Muay Thai is kickboxing. It was developed in Thailand and it's MMA  (for your information) and I want to leave something before I leave the world. Like I don't know maybe a Olympic medal and represent the Philippines in the Olympics or maybe a spot in the hall of fame and the grand kids of my kids will say "That is my grandfather." The thing is in order for you to achieve something you must sacrifice one thing. Which is hard. But the will of me achieving something great overcame the power of what I want. So I will sacrifice my social life for just 1 month and I will eat only vegetables and water which doesn't have taste in it. So it means that I won't eat any delicious food like Mcdonalds or even pastas or pork. Now I don't really care because I know that God wants me to be someone and I know that with Him, I am fearless. Fearless in a way that I can conquer any problems that I will encounter. One month of sacrifice is a lifetime worth of achievements for me and I really want to be "someone".

If you want something, go get it. And if it doesn't knock in your door then knock on its door. You know, you just don't know if you're be someone... But everyone can be someone in their own special way. If you find that "something" that you really want to do... Then never let it go. Never miss a chance to get it while its hot because maybe just maybe... the juice is worth the squeeze.


Love,
El
