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.


Love,
EL

Letter #4

                                                     (How I Met Your Mother- Disaster Averted )



I wrote this last summer for her(Actually I write her letters everyday last summer) and this is my fourth letter to her. It's funny because now, it's just a memory. A memory full of hopes and dreams that one day we'll be together forever.... haha.

My Dearest (deleted name),

I was smiling for no reason today and I thought I was crazy but then I realized that the reason why I’m smiling was you. I woke up at exactly 3:00 AM yesterday just to write this letter and I know that it is worth it because I’m writing to you because everything about you makes my day and I believe that the sweetest things you can do for a girl are the little things that let her know she’s in your heart and on your mind. Always remember that distance is never a problem. Even if you are far away, you are always close to my heart. It’s good that we are far away because I’m learning the patience to wait for a special girl who lives exactly 8091.5 Kilometers away from me and I know that she is worth it. Because I believe in following your own heart. Regardless of what others tell you to do, it’s how you feel at the end of the day that matters.

Love,
EL

The Leap

Dear Reader,

This reflection is about regrets and chances. Let me tell you a story about my 2012. It's like A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickins. You know the 3 ghosts that changed Scrooge right? It's almost Christmas so it's  the novel so well uhm, Well here's my story.

This year started perfectly. Love, money and happiness are in me. Because at that time I met a girl and I was   rich because it was after Christmas. And happy because of the two. Then last February it all ended, the money and love. It broke my heart and my wallet. I was lonely but more than that, I was broken. I was literally sad because I tried to change because before met her I was a jerk. I was such a jerk that I beat up one guy somewhere. But I wanted to change. Cut all this because this is not important because my next story is more important than this, she decided to end it blah blah blah and the rest is history. This is the ghost of Christmas past

I was sad and lonely then I met her. She was the highlight of my year. She was a game changer.   I know it's crazy but for a minute there the clocks stopped and I asked to myself "I think I'm in love" and it goes on through all summer. I think I told her story right? Where I changed my sleeping habits just to talk to her because she lives 8092.00 kilometers away from me so our timezones hate each other and when I didn't go out to party and drink with my friends because I was busy writing her letters because since I changed my clock, I was like a vampire, sleeping in the morning and sucking blood in the night. So like every day I write her letters which inspired me to create blogs and that's why you're all reading this and the rest is history. This is the ghost of Christmas present.

Now my friend helped me to realize that the universe is telling me that it's not our time and I respect that because  if two people are meant to be together eventually they will find their way back right? Well I think to forget everything about her I must concentrate on everything that will make me a better man for the future. But when a door is closed a window opens. Now there's this girl. She may not be a game changer but she makes everything just so awesome. I think I like her but not love her  but every time I talk to this girl, my heart is jumping for joy. Anyways I don't know what to do. But it's possible that she may have feelings for me too. But I'm scared because I don't know where this could lead. We're both broken and I know that two wrongs never make a right. And what if she breaks my heart? Is this really worth pursuing? This is the ghost of Christmas future.

You see my good friends it's not easy it looks to be. It's like you're thinking if you should continue to read the book or just close it. And maybe in another time you can read it again until you finish it and decide to read a book again or never to read again. Just like Scrooge, the ghost of Christmas past and the ghost of Christmas past helped me to realize that life is amazing to be sad. It helped me through the years and now, I think I'm wise enough to fight 2013's problems. And you know what? It's telling me to follow the ghost of my Christmas future. 

This was the year that I was broken hearted, the year that I beat up a guy really bad, the year that I met a game changer who changed me and then left me hanging and damnit this year was one the best years of my life.  Because if any one of those things hadn't happen, I never would have ended up meeting possible "the one?" But I don't know because I'm still young. I want to cherish my teenage years first but with her. As far as you know, my story is just beginning. So this is my new year's resolution for next year, 2013. Take the leap. No matter what take the leap. It maybe worth a try but it's worth the squeeze. You may fail but you will earn wisdom and you may be successful and earn success. And you what? There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page or just closing the book.... And I am choosing to turn the page more.

 Merry Christmas everyone and a happy new year.

Love always,

El

Legends (Ray-Ban Contest)

(I would like to thank you Tin Iglesias  for inspiring me to create this blog.)

This is my entry for the Ray-ban contest.

" I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was." -Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Roger Federer and Manny Pacquiao. These people are examples of what we call legends. These athletes are inspiration to millions of people around the world. But what really makes a legend? 

One thing we all know is that being a legend is not easy because you don't get what you desire without doing anything; you get what you work for. It's a transformation that you will only see if you search within yourself the greatness that God gave you. You need to train every day, you will sacrifice a lot of things and you must be motivated to train. Being a legend isn't just a walk in park but one thing we all must know is that legends are influential. A legend must be influential that they must possess the power to inspire people. A legend must teach people that the pain you attain in training sessions is temporary but attaining greatness is forever. 

A legend must have desire to pursue a dream. Because with desire comes motivation that will lead to the determination to do it and then commitment will come to turn it into a habit that is a commitment to excellence. 

A legend must be fearless. They must not fear the bumps in the road that they will encounter in their journey. Failures are part of your training. Training in your never ending experience. Failing is not the end of your journey. It's your decision to stand up and keep on running because that is being a legend is all about and greatness will never wait for you. If there's a big mountain of problems in your journey, then climb it. Because the view is amazing."Fall down seven times, get up eight ".

And lastly, a legend must have character. Everyone must have character on what they are doing because everyone can be great but they must dare the inevitable. One thing YOU should always remember is that with will, you can conquer anything. Because the will you have beats the skill of your opponent. Your ability may help you achieve in being a legend but your character will be the one who will help you to stay at the top. Being a legend is for all of us. We must dare to achieve greatness. We must never listen to anyone who will try to bring us down and we must prove to them and show to them that we can do it. Because just like what Lewis Cass said "People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do." So always try and try and try and never give up because only the fearless can be great.

Goodbye?

Dear Reader,

The reason why I created this blogspot is for a special someone. But now, it's all gone. Funny, because all of the things written here is how I feel for that girl. And it's hard to make a summary because it's really hard to express how you feel using words. You know that feeling? When you really want to tell everything but you can't because the words in your head are all scrambled up? Usually I don't. But what happened last Sunday (Which I don't want to put here) destroyed all my words. But I think the summary here is that she is the only one who captured my heart like this. I love everything about her, really. I love her eyes, I love her hair, I love her even though I hated her. Just everything about her. Everything. This woman has a hold on my heart even though she lives thousands of miles away from me. She's the reason why I changed. I used to be a jerk. But somehow, this girl changed me. I met somebody special that made me not want to be a jerk anymore. You know? It made me want to  give everything that I got to that girl.

 It was an overwhelming ride. Fun and exciting because the distance binds us will always symbolize the question "what if" because people and things change with time, but memories remain the same. Maybe this is my last blog but you know what? It's been fun. But she we always be that girl that I will forever love. Not the "romantic" kind of way but the way that she touched my heart and planted a seed there to change. A change for a better. Because I know that one day I will be a dad, and I will tell these stories to my kids. I want all my readers to know that I was in a bad place before her. She, my friends and all of my readers and Twitter followers helped me. You guys really helped me to realize that I am not alone in this big world. But I will forever love her and I will never stop loving her for what she did to me. She will never notice this but I know that I am infinitely and iridescently in love with her. More than she knows.

I can see that moment when you know that you are not alone, that moment that you feel ecstatic. That just one moment that you will tell your kids and they will tell their grandkids about those memories. I know these will all be stories someday. And I hope that I will teach my kids that one special lesson that I've learned throughout my summer with her, and that is "Never give up on someone you can't go a day without thinking about".

Right now I am wondering about what will happen to me when I grow up. And you know what? I don't really care. Because one day my future me will experience it. But right now, this is happening and I am experiencing it. And one last piece of advice to all my readers, is that "The best things in life are worth waiting for, fighting for, believing in, and just never letting go of."

Love Always,
El
