Of Love

I don't think love is changing or saving a person. It's about finding the person who's already fit in it.

Meet Winter



So I got him, back in June this year. It's been two months more or less. The joy and pride of having one of these make me feel more confident. Not only in my driving skills but primarily in dealing with the road. My perception changed as soon as I learnt how to drive, in contrast to when I was just a passenger in the jeep or minivan or any public utility vehicle (PUV) - which has been the case for most of my living years on earth.


Somehow, a paradigm shift opened each day I drive. Being empathetic now to drivers of PUVs as we share the road, that they too are just victims of a low standard traffic rules imposed in the country. Imagine the case of PUV drivers stopping anytime to get and drop the passengers - without proper stop and pickup points - that leads to the infinite maze of uncertainty as you join them on the road.

If we are to reverse the picture - it'd be more organized for PUVs to have Stop and pickup points along with rules on how many minutes they should be allowed waiting on those areas.

The above was just one of my observations - I still have more (which shall be posted) in the future.





In my course of driving where I didn't take a formal driving lesson - in fact I just learned driving via the help of my car salesman/dealer, I get to appreciate and be true to the rules of the road. Trying my best to influence other motorists by setting an example such as stopping at a red light despite in the wee hours of the morning on a crossing, where the streets are mostly empty. That even if no ones watching you, no traffic enforcer nearby, I still aspire to be consistent in following the traffic rules.


Winter is awesomely good, I get to use to him as I progress in my driving experience each day.


Until next post.

Batangas 2015





It was that time of the year where summer days would really move you to get your feet out of the normal routine and drag you in the beach.

It's a privilege one though, an invite, actually, a self-invite.

Courtesy of the "operations" - a time to celebrate their successes and a time to unwind on a personal note.

I had a great time with it, a two day, one night beach and pool indulgence.

This is back in March 2015. 'Twas a late post.

The Day I Lost and Won

Be tolerant for those
That show anger
That show conceit
That show jealousy
That show trickery
That show deceit
That show hatred
For they are but souls
That are lost
That are in need of compassion
They are souls 
That need love
For they were lost
Lost in the turmoil of life
They need light

But if they resist, and still resist the second time
The third time...

Do not falter to pray for them
Always show them
That kindness
That they have never known

For they never experienced it


Do not give up to snatch them
From the darkness

Forgive them if they wronged you
Pity them for they don't know what they are doing
Show them compassion for they shall realize that the light and truth shall set them free

It's the only way for their peace of mind to be restored.

(A realization of trust and compassion to people on this earth so brave and bold - but integrity is missing in their walk of life)

Of Heartaches (again)

Although I'm not in that stage at the moment, I just wanted to share this:

"Nakakabaliw talaga ang masaktan, to the point of convincing yourself that you won't fall inlove ever again"
