In search of life less ordinary.

[thealkayemist]

On the first day of spring, I am reminded once more that the end is only fatal to those who cannot see it as a new beginning. 🌻

[thealkayemist]

I’ve accepted everything now. That no matter how I try to be worthy of you, I would still not be the one you want. No matter how hard I try to be better, it doesn’t mean you’ll love me back. No matter how I want you to need me, I wouldn’t be enough for you. I guess moving on is the only thing left for me. Moving on with my life without you, without the idea of us, without every thing that will remind me of you, and without depending my happiness on you. Lastly, just moving on and understanding that life goes on. The world still goes round, and time passes by, and all of those other things shall go on with its purpose. And so will I but this time, without you.

Cut the poison out of your life. No matter what - or whom - it may be.

It’s going to hurt before it gets better.

Maybe you don't need the whole world to love you, you know? Maybe you just need one person.

Distance...

There’s someone I’ve been missing I think that they could be the better half of me.

Once distance separates you from the people you care about most, you can’t help but miss them. Their voice, their touch, the way they look, how it feels when you’re with them, everything that’s got to do with them. You can’t help but think why you can’t be with that person when all you really wanted was to be with them. You’ll have this feeling that somewhere deep inside, something’s missing. You can’t feel safe because once in a while you’re thinking that what if they forget about you or if they’re missing you as much as you miss them. But, distance isn’t that bad.

Distance is a way for your relationship with that person to grow stronger than it really is. Why? Because you’ll do such efforts so that the relationship you have with them wouldn’t go to waste. Like, finding ways to talk to them, to hear their voice, to see them, you know, those stuff. If you really want them in your life, you wouldn’t just be one lazy-ass person who just says come what may or they’ll come if they need me. Remember that it takes two to make a relationship work. Another is, you’ll both have the individuality you need in your relationship but at the same time, you’re still grounded to the feelings you have towards them. It wouldn’t just fade because you both know that you’re holding on to something worth it. Something you’d both have to fight for in order to win, a challenge.

Remember that what you say sticks.

Whether you’re having a bad day or in a really crummy mood, DON'T TAKE YOUR FRUSTRATIONS OUT ON OTHER PEOPLE! You really never know what someone is dealing with. That negative communication could really ruin someones day, you know.

Minimalism is not a lack of something, it’s simply the perfect amount of something.

2011 Year-end Review

I started to think about everything that I did the whole year, what I accomplished, what I still have left to do, all the adventures I went through, all the memories made, all I have gained, and how much my life has changed in a twelve month period. 

The year is coming to a close and what can I say? What to say about a year that has brought so much sadness, so many changes, so many challenges and so many opportunities? If this year has done anything, it has shown me to appreciate the little things, the time I get to spend with my friends and family, small victories, but more than anything to realize how blessed I am. 

I must say, this is the time to retrospect on another year gone by, time to wish for certain moments to come back or certain ones to be forgotten; to somehow relive those times that seemed too good to be real and to quietly erase the ones that make the heart ache just a little.

And as I think back on the kind of year I’ve managed to have, I’m pretty much impressed by all of the pure and utter awesomeness that has come my way. From the exceptional people I’ve met and become close to, to the things I’ve somehow managed to accomplish, I’d say it’s been one of the best years I can remember in a looong time.

Well, my 2011 was pretty much like a roller coaster ride. So many ups and downs, twists and turns, but gladly, I made it because of the people who were able to tolerate my flaws and accepted me as I am. *smiles* I am very blessed to have these people around. But most importantly, I wouldn’t have survived this year if it weren’t for GOD. I thank Him for giving me another year to live and enjoy His creation. I may have not been at my best behavior, but I’m very thankful that He has forgiven me, and doesn’t fail to make me feel I am loved. I am looking forward to a very awesome 2012. People say the world is about to end, but that’s all up to God. We never really now when it’s going to end, so we just have to make the most out of what’s in front of us but never take advantage of anything or anyone.

CHEERS TO 2011!

2012... BRING IT ON!

Just a Thought...

While most of us were busy packing gifts, doing last minute Christmas shopping and preparing for Noche Buena...

Victims of the typhoon Sendong celebrated their Christmas grieving since hundreds of families lost their homes and thousands were killed while some are still missing caused by the floods. And hearing different stories of survival and grief of losing their loved ones and even their intense hope of reuniting with them, I can't help but shed some tears for them.

I am grateful to those kind-hearted people who continuously donate, who spend their spare time to help in repacking the goods and even distributing them personally to the victims despite the dust, mud, raging heat of the sun, poor road condition, and the like. I myself am pretty amazed on how people in Iligan, CDO and even in other cities are united. Sacrifices have been made but nothing can ever replace the priceless smiles and "thank yous" from the victims everytime you hand them the goods. Seeing them happy really makes you want to help more.

Let's pray for the victims of typhoon Sendong! Be a blessing!

God bless everyone!

Sleep is such a gracious thief. It steals my time, but gives me strength.
