2022

This year is the year I'm going to make the prototype.

I've accomplished so much in life and I've been so blessed to receive an abundance of blessings, joys, opportunities all my life.. So much that I want to pay it forward to this world. This is it.

[jongarcia]

WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE TO KNOW, absolutely know beyond any doubt, that everything really is all right, that there is no reason to fear. That there is no need to feel despair or loss or uncertainty. That all the pain and hurt and evil we have seen truly is only an illusion, and that the most beautiful things we have experienced are only a glimpse, a small taste, of what is truly ‘real,’ and truly ours. That everything is all right; that everything is perfect as it is; that all is well. This is what I see, and what I know.

At the end of human vision lies the final, ultimate Truth, inasmuch as such can be at all within our vision even at its extreme limit. It cannot be experienced or thought of or spoken of because it cannot be conceptualized… This ultimate Being and ultimate Consciousness overflows constantly in the Outpouring of its essence, its nature, which is pure absolute love beyond our conceptions of love: complete compassion, total truth, ultimate beauty, Outpouring.

I met my wife at Trader Joe's

That's as organic as it gets.

Meditation

and Running are my two new daily rituals. I am right now committing to continue on the daily to enrich my spiritual and physical health.

Meditation/prayer EVERYDAY, especially, I am making this commitment to.

It's been awhile again..

I have this funny little tradition with posting affirmations on my old tumblr of wonderful, amazing, incredible blessings to come in the "near future." I'm feeling it again here in September 2021. Then again, that love, joy, and abundance has already been right there from the start. I have both lost and found myself this year. After enduring at the start of the year, which to me at the time, was a very "painful" experience, I made the conscious decision to reinvent and realign myself towards my visions. In doing that, I've spent so much more quality time with God. Practicing meditation/prayer and mindfulness has definitely been a catalyst and I have found so much peace and joy especially these last few months. I really am at peace with myself and never have I found so much love for myself and from within until now. It's this same love that is already spilling over and spreading into the world I live in. I wish to live a purposeful, meaningful life of not just joy, but also of servitude and one day I pray that love will grow into a massive scale. (ie. my chaba chaba towel project) God is good! God is great! All glory to God!

What an exciting year!

2020 is the start of a new decade and here I am in July barely blogging about my 2020 so far. Marrah and I have been through quite a bit together this year. We had an amazing trip to the Philippines to start off. The first leg of my trip, I got to be spend with my Mom and Dad. I will treasure those memories forever. And at the 2nd leg of my trip, I rendezvoused with Marrah. I got to visit her home town and meet her best friend. Palawan is hands down the most beautiful place I’ve ever witnessed. 

And then right after our trip, corona virus hit the world and changed the way we lived our lives for the past few months. We were quarantined together, but our friendship, our bond, and our love grew in midst of what surrounded us. Weird times, but in retrospect a beautiful opportunity for growth. It was a nice “reset” I’d like to call. 

I am blessed to have loving, supportive family. And I am blessed to have Marrah by my side, especially during these times. More and more everyday, I continue to fall in love with her.

P.S. I love myself too. :-)

2020

Gratitude.

Health.

Love.

Positivity.

This year I’m going to focus not just on those things, but shifting my mentality into one of the growth mindset. 

We’re gonna work on building a business. Marrah’s my lover and best friend, but she’s also my partner and team mate in all that we do together. We’re a team in this and we have all the intentions to grow as entrepreneurs.

And just like that

I find myself living with the love of my life.. I’m so grateful for what’s happened between us and how it all transpired. It feels like now I’m truly going with the flow of life. I’ve been really good with myself lately. I feel my world’s been a reflection of how I have been feeling as of lately. I know I am not “perfect” but I have learned that everything is perfect.. as in everything has been a part of God’s plan.. and I have to just accept that and have faith. God is good. God is great. I am so grateful for everything.

All glory to God!

So grateful for my health, my family, girlfriend, friends, career, wealth, opportunities, and adventures. God is so good and I know that he’s always by my side. He’s with everybody. He’s looking out for ALL of us. I am so thankful to be alive and well. God is GREAT and God is GOOD!!!

2nd trip

Decided to go on a trip again at Coachella 2019. I had the time of my life once again.. My best friend told me though that I don’t need to get lost in order to find myself. I learned a lot. Here are a few concepts I really grasped a hold of this time around:

1.) it’s okay to try but don’t try too hard

2.) be yourself

3.) nothing has to make sense

4.) be in the NOW

Happy, Healthy, & Handsome

Why I do what I do..

Last night I took care of a 60 something year old hispanic lady who had an aggressive form of endometrial cancer.. She was my patient post-operatively and so I had to keep close watch on her as she was freshly post-op. I started her PCA (patient controlled analgesia) pump for her, gave her IV fluids, and did routine post-op monitoring. I made her comfortable that night, I attended to her and her daughter and made sure they were both well rested overnight. The doctors had told her the prognosis this morning and I didn’t get to listen because I was passing report to the oncoming nurse. I came back to her room to say goodbye.. When I was telling her that I was leaving, she had something to say to me and I could not understand a single word. Before I could stop her from continuing and tell her that I don’t know spanish, she kept going and about 30 seconds into her speech I knew that she knew that I didn’t know spanish.. She said to me what she wanted to say in spanish knowing that I wouldn’t understand a single word, but I listened to her with the utmost intent of listening and feeling her words. In short, she was telling me words of gratitude and giving me blessings. I heard the words “Dios” in there (which means God) and something about “corazon” which is heart. 

She KNEW that I did not have to know a single word because I felt her words just by looking at her in the eyes and just feeling it. Those two words Corazon and Dios I can’t think of any other context they would be used in. When she was finished saying what she had to say, I looked at her in the eyes and replied, “gracias..” and she smiled and replied in acknowledgement that she knew I understood her,  “Gracias.”  Nurses aren’t supposed to do this for infection control reasons, but in the moment it was appropriate so I came down to her bed and hugged her..

These kinds of things happen for a reason. I call them signs.. They’re signs of clarity. I was reminded of why I do what I do. Why do I want to be rich? Why am I a nurse? It’s because I want to act in love. I want to spread the love of the holy spirit to as many people as I can. I want to take care of as many people as I can. I want to spread happiness, joy, and love. I believe in energy. I believe in God. Happiness, joy, and love are some of the highest forms of energy. That’s what I want to emit out to the universe!

I vow to spread God’s love for the rest of my life.
