Dream BIG. Start small.

Don't Blame the Kids

[emilkids]

we just stick around and get better everytime.

The world never revolves around you or anyone else. But you can on your mind and being. So have the courage to continue lifting yourself up.

In life is there really a right or wrong decision? Or only the feeling of satisfaction and happiness or regret? Do you listen to people's opinions, why does it affect us so much? Why do we need to share our feelings with others especially when we need mental and emotional support. Who do we reach out to? We often share these feelings to those who we know that will listen and give you the answer you are longing to hear. When you have an impression that a person will only say the things you don't want to hear, you avoid them. But re they the ones that we need to listen to? What is the right decision? The wrong decision? I guess you'll find out eventually.

life

Change will always be hard. But hardest change that exists in this world is love. No matter how many people will say things like: you should never have depended on that person too much. My reply will always be why? Being dependent on a person and love always ride the same boat. Maybe the right move while being in love is living some for yourself. So that when life hits you hard, a part of you can always pick youself up.

Years of happiness can be ruined by a day of mistrust. Did I waste my time or is this just part of life?

[emilkids]

behind all these success and fortune, there lies another unexpected hurts.

love hurts when the trust is broken. Or maybe it isn't love anymore.

Forever exists

Why is it that a lot of people don’t believe in forever anymore when it comes to love? Maybe because majority of people who have experienced hurts and breakups made it clear that it’s impossible to move on and experience love again, especially if the previous relationship was so great but still had a sad ending. They tend influence and affect even those who have yet to experience love, and because of this, they too start believe in this concept; they find someone but believe that it will end someday. They always worry on what, when, where, how or why it will end. And when that relationship starts experiencing struggles, they see it as a “sign” that it’s about to end or it has to end. People become so weak especially when things don’t go their way and end up giving up. Having to experience a breakup has been one of the hardest time of my life, but it never occur to me that forever does not exist anymore. Especially since I personally know my capacity to love. If there will come a time when you are ready to love for the first time, or be in love again, believe that there is forever. It will bring you less worry and more happiness. Accept and love. Nobody’s perfect, but everyone’s limitless when it comes to love. And that’s called unconditional love.

You don't succeed in dreaming. You succeed in working. Working your hardest.

[emilkids]

Judge me all you want, I’ll still succeed.

If there’s one thing I have learned for the past 27 years of living here on earth, it’s that you can still reach the top even if you don’t have the talent and intelligence in the world. 

In sports, I was forced by my father to take Taekwondo, which to be honest was not my first choice of sport. I was not really good at it. I did not have the athleticism. Unlike others who have that kind of talent to be great fast. They did not fear sparring. They can kick flawlessly high, even those turning kicks they never seem to fail in impressing me. But that did not stop me. I continued to train with my great coaches. I consistently listened to them because I believe they know better and that it will make me a better athlete in Taekwondo. And guess what, there I was in the beginning of my journey as an aspiring athlete, not having the same talent as the others, but had the ears to listen to great mentors. From the moment I started training Taekwondo, I always listened, and learned new things. I did not rely on my own because I wanted to better myself. Even though most of the time I lost in competitions in the beginning, it did not stop me from listening. I wanted to be better, so I held on to my great mentors that I believed that will reach my goal. In my years that I trained Taekwondo, I beleive that I became a better person. I also realized that raw talent is not enough. You need to get ideas from great mentors. You need to listen. Because that’s the only time that you will see real results. GREAT RESULTS.

Overlap your learnings and become better.

The first ever DBTKMOB Meet held last October 3, 2015 at Chicken Charlie Banawe Branch

[emilkids]

The 1st Ever DBTKMOB Meet

Don’t Blame the Kids Apparel Co. is a lifestyle and street wear brand that was created by my brother (Vince Javier) and I 3 years ago. 

By May 2012, Don’t Blame the Kids Apparel Co. was born. The road was agonizingly bumpy at times and we admit that our infantile business has many birth pains. Since we were a newbie, trust in the brand was always an issue among the front-runners in the distributing game. We started to make our presence felt at the various street wear events which made us nervous and excited at the same time since we are battling it out with well-known and seasoned brands. At the end of every event, we saw the potential to grow. Past mistakes became foot-stools and in time, the brand saw a surge in popularity among the Kids. This made us more passionate and persistent that we worked on different ideas and designs. 

Now on our third year, the DBTK community has grown and now includes the DBTKMOB composed of different people with different passions united in the brand itself. 

Last October 3, 2015, the first street wear – restaurant collaboration was successfully launched by DBTK and Chicken Charlie at their Banawe branch, tagged DBTKMOB Eat Meet where the members interacted with each other in the midst of a tasty chicken treat and DBTK freebies.

 The wheels of the DBTK caravan is moving and the dream is being realized. PASSION, HARD WORK, DEDICATION, CONSISTENCY and HUMILITY. DBTK is in gear towards defining the future it hopes to attain.

People who rely on talent alone while listening to the wrong people would most likely fall behind. But people who continue to listen to the right people and work their hardest will slowly but surely succeed.

Treat others the way you want to be treated. The problem is, you treat others differently. Sometimes with respect. And sometimes, like shit, because you judge others by their worth to you.

[emilkids]

Real passion is working your hardest when nobody is watching.
