we dream. do. live.

a collection of dream journals by you and me. an open family that encourages each other to pursue our wildest dreams, believing the infinite. our talents, dreams, goals, burdens, and challenges surrendered to the One who makes it all good. it's not about us.

Hi Dreamers :)

As I was reading Gretchen Rubin’s book – The Happiness Project, I suddenly remember something.

In her second month on putting her resolutions in action to have a happy life, she realized she wanted to have a “writing partner”, which is someone she could discuss anything about writing and career strategy. Rubin then thought to propose the idea to her two friends. To her surprise, her friends loved the idea of forming a group that focuses on mutual improvement. Rubin then realized after two or so meetings that they've already gave one another a “sense of accountability”.

So what did I remember after reading that? I guess you have an idea of what it was. And yes, you’re right. Like Rubin, I belong to group who dream, do and live. And the primary reason of creating this group is to support each dreamer with their dreams and goals for the year 2013.

Here’s a word from our founder, Ira.

  We believe that every body has a dream or two, every body a dreamer, and in here, we welcome every body, every dream. We want you in our family.

It’s as simple as this:

Write down your dreams

Share it with us

And let’s pursue our dreams together

Share us your story and tell us how you and your dream are doing, small, big, good, or bad, it doesn’t matter. Your journey is our journey. When you reached one of your stars, we will be with you. When you fail at one point, you will not be left alone picking the pieces together, but we, your dream family will be with you.

Don’t be shy and join our family. We need more dreamers like you in our world. Let us inspire and keep the dreams aglow bright!

I like that highlighted part. And don’t you just think that creating such group is a genius idea? I fell in love with it as soon as Ira posted the dream partners thingy on her blog. Honestly, I am sad because I think this blog is dead and it’s something that I keep on denying to myself. I always try and see our page and hoping that there’s an update and the things that I see are the old post. Maybe, I’m just so mellow dramatic, sorry. Maybe you guys are just busy doing things achieve your goals. I just want to make sure because the day I joined, I am accountable to each of your dreams.

I hope one day, the fire and the eagerness we felt when we started this will find its way back into our hearts. I still wish that one day all dreamers will meet and together we will dream that our family will grow…big.

As for my own dealings, I resigned from work long time ago. May 21st to be exact. Resignation is a big problem for me back then, I fight and even tried very hard to ignore the feeling of wanting to leave my desk and just baaaammm break free and be happy than stay at the office and sit all day doing things that I know wouldn’t make me feel good. I had a lot of inner fights, I weighed the pro’s and con’s of leaving and my true self won and so here I am BUM but happy.

And, don’t worry I am not the type to just jump and dive in without a back-up plan. Of course, job means money and while I’m on my rest status which I’m not actually resting if you will consider the true meaning of it. I am processing a lot of things, last June. I had my passport renewed; now I am having my transcript of records authenticated (red ribbon) by DFA and my visa is on process. Hopefully I’ll be leaving the country by first or second week of August. It’s a 30-day visit visa and I’m going to look for work there. Sounds risky, eh? Oh, well I’ll never know if I will never try and besides I have been dreaming of working outside the Philippines for quite a long time now. Am I afraid? No. Am I positive enough that I’ll get a job? Yes. Well, I believe in myself and in my dreams and I think nothing is impossible.

I am also working on gaining weight so I wouldn’t look like a high school student, like what people usually say to me because I’m like so small and so thin. I walk every morning and talk to random people, which I find very fun. I go for a jog, do some twist and turns and pushing and pulling then EAT 6 times a day. WOW.

What else? Oh, yeah, I will enrol myself on Monday for Foreign Language, I’ll be taking French language. Ahemmmm, bonjour! Anyway it’s a 20 hour, one on one lesson and hopefully I will learn fast.

Nuff things about me. For Ira, I know you also resigned from work, well basing my judgement on your FB status and blog post. YEAY clap for achieving 2 years exp, I don’t know what you’re doing “exactly” now (and I have a feeling it’s photography related?) but I wish you good luck with everything and I know you’re smart, brave, confident, and most of all your heart is at the right place. Great job with those pictures on your blogspot account (Oh, I’m such a fan – one day I’ll ask for your autograph just in case you get famous on your craft, which I know you will).

Ate Rachel, I haven’t seen you for quite a long time. I don’t know what your dreams are to begin with especially now that you have Han-Han (Rachel’s baby) , but I hope you’re doing fine. I wanted to have another “power dinner” again, talk about our dreams and let ourselves get lost into it. I know just like Ira you love to travel, that’s the reason why you love couch surfing.

Lei hi! I love your dream to lead people to God. I know you’re doing great at that, bless your soul for that wonderful and selfless dream.

(Okay tama na dame ko ng katak)

God Bless dreamers! Go for the gold!!!

YES!

Yes Finally! The money that was raised wasn't enough to buy 15 sacks of rice which the foundation really needs. However, we were able to buy 4 sacks. :)

It's not enough but it makes a huge difference, yeah? 

There are even times when I really wanted to give up this project but HE says that my heart is at the right place and so he lit the fire inside me again and I am burning.

As of my other dreams? Oh yes I'm definitely living in my courage zone and enjoying my life.

For our business? Doing fine fine, 

we just finished a wedding invitation project and hopefully we can do more :) (I know we will)

Work abroad? Working on it. Hopefully before the year ends.

Good luck dreamers! Love love guys!

Meet my Dream-Giver

It's 10pm on March the 17th--- at least from where I am, which is the beautiful island of Bermuda.  I have promised my dear friend Ira that I would write here, but the busyness of the past months have kept me from doing that until now.  Also, I didn't know what dreams to share as I feel like I am currently living in one.  I also feel like my first entry should define how my participation in this blog will be so I kept thinking and thinking what I want to write about.  I was reminded, however, that the only thing that really matters is that I write from my heart.

Let me begin by saying that every dream is great, as long as it points back to the Dream-Giver.  Ultimately, the dreams we have should be the desires that God has placed in our hearts, which is connected to our purpose, and the manifestation of which brings glory to Him. 

I have many goals that I hope to eventually write about and share to you, but today I want to tell you about my biggest dream:

I want to lead people to worship God in Spirit and in truth, to usher them in the presence of God where every problem and concern dissipate because of the Love available to them.

Sounds too spiritual, hey? I know. What can I do, I am a spiritual being, so please oblige me. :-)

I remember, at the age of 6, I started singing. Since then, I've always had a song in my heart. I'm not your usual singer though.  I've never sung in public until I joined my previous church's worship team in the year 2000.  I never joined school contests, nor have I ever felt that I was a singer.  The song of my heart has always echoed louder than the song of my lips.  And I vow that it will remain that way.

I know worship is a lifestyle, but let me just refer to my singing as worship, as I feel it brings it more justice. In worshiping God, I feel like I am fulfilling His higher calling to love.

I have gone to hell and back just to protect this dream that God has placed in me.  It has consumed me in ways that just leave me broken and on my knees. It's a passion I can't understand with my limited mind, but my heart keeps shouting over and over again.  I can't even explain why I want to do it. I have searched every area of my heart to check whether I want to do it just to be recognized and esteemed, and the answer is no.  That would be too icky and yucky.

I have felt every opposition and persecution to give my dream up, to take the easy way out. I have heard lies upon lies and lived through difficult times just because I wouldn't let my dream go.  I guess this is the first point I want to drive at when dreaming ---- Never let your dream go.  Do not adjust your dreams to your circumstances. If God has placed it in your heart, be assured that He will make it happen. Protect your dream. Focus on the vision. People will be against you, most will try to persuade you to give it up. Don't let them. Your dream is between you and God. Do not seek to be understood, nor to be praised for what you want to do. Let your assurance be God and nothing or no one else.

And always remember, God is not just the Dream-Giver, He is also the Dream-Maker.  Watch and see your dreams unfold into reality.

Hugs,

Lei

An epidemic outbreak by Francis Kong

Originally published on PhilStar.com

There’s an epidemic breaking out in the country. No need to be alarmed – it’s not really a health threat. This outbreak deals with reality issues.

A few years ago, while waiting for my turn to speak in a college-sponsored career-orientation conference, the speaker before me told the wide-eyed graduating students these words: “Listen guys, I graduated from this school. Never accept a job offer lower than P75,000, because if you do, then you’re insulting those who have graduated from this school.”

The auditorium full of graduating students broke out with shouts and applause. The speaker was an instant hit. He became their hero.

I must’ve dampened their spirits when it was my turn to speak, because I told them, “That challenge is a fantasy that only someone from Neverland and who’s as immature as Peter Pan could promise. As a business owner, I would fire anyone in my company who would hire an inexperienced fresh grad and pay him or her that amount of money – even if the applicant graduated from Harvard or Stanford! You go to school and pay tuition to learn. Why not work for free, learn, get some experience, and then start charging high? Duh?!”

That was more than 10 years ago. Those graduates are now in the marketplace. I don’t know if they realize today that what they heard then was a fantasy, not reality.

We were having dinner at an awards ceremony recently. The CEO and the marketing manager of this huge and respected food company told me that they’ve actually heard a university dean tell his students that, if they graduated from his school, they should expect to become vice presidents in their places of employment within five years. What’s the matter with these bozos making stupid promises and encouraging unrealistic expectations among the young? They may think they’re motivating them, but what they’re doing is setting them up for future failure! Where are the classic, age-old lectures on hard work, persistence, patience and sacrifice that are the true ingredients of success?

We have an epidemic in our midst – the emergence of young workers in business organizations today who are impatient, jumping from one company to another, and who are outspoken and articulate but low on substance, mouthing clichés without understanding them and driving HR practitioners crazy.

I’ve had at least seven HR heads from our top business corporations telling me that attrition is high among the young entrants to the workplace. These young people’s work ethics suck, and their work values suck even more. Push them a little, and they whine and whimper. Stretch them a little, and they moan and groan. Correct and reprimand them a little, and they quit right there and then. Mentor them a little, and they think they know more than their mentors.

Fifteen years from now, these young people would probably cover a 10-mile wide industry range and possess a two-inch deep pool of useful expertise and skills. It’s scary to imagine what kind of life they’ll have then.

Is this the fruit of a generation of parents who have been told, cajoled and persuaded by Western literature not to discipline their kids, but to just “encourage” and “reason” with them so they won’t be traumatized?

Is this the product of half-witted speakers who set false expectations and promise the young that they can succeed within the shortest possible time with the least possible work and sacrifice, and who teach them that, when they don’t get promoted to become vice presidents within five years, they should blame the company and not themselves?

I have a couple of suggestions. Provide values training for the young people. Make them understand the difference between fantasy and reality. Make them realize that they need to read more intelligent books. (Books on vampire, love stories aren’t part of the recommended readings.) Train them in the area of developing personal excellence, and teach them the right values for living.

The youth is the hope of the future, but I wouldn’t trust my future to a bunch of young people who don’t even know how to live in the present. Let’s teach these kids discipline and work values, and let’s teach them now. Tomorrow may be too late. There’s an epidemic remember?

Maxwell Program “Developing The Leader Within You.” For further inquiries, contact Mae at 09228980196, or call 632-6310912 for details.)

The Choice to be Abnormal

Abnormality, in the vivid sense of something deviating from the normal or differing from the typical; not normal; not typical or usual or regular or conforming to a norm. 

  Hi there dreamers! I am the newest part of the wedreamdolive family, Rachel. Thanks to a friend's invite, I will now be sharing my journey to life's biggest things and vividly imagining that each reader will find the strength to do the same. As a first post on this amazing project, let me answer some questions that you might have. 

  Who am I: I'm Rachel, a single mom of a 4-month old pumpkin pie, a freelancer (admin support and writing) and a dreamer. 

What do I do when I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do: If I'm not working, I usually spend my time playing with my baby, eating out with my friends, couchsurfing (I host in my 2-bedroom apartment in Angeles City, Philippines), Skype (for special people not in the country), blogging and reading. 

Why am I here at wedreamdolive: Basically because of enthusiasm and passion. If there's something that I would like to focus on now, it's continuously increasing my energy to reach my goals. And how will I do that? Always find things that will keep your fire burning. I would not pass on something as tempting as this. People and dreams are my fuel. 

I'll be sharing more on my next posts. Moreover, I'll be openly wishing that if you will find this project for you, give us a hi and join our endeavor. If not, may you find what truly coincides to your desires. 

To end, why did I mention choosing to be ABNORMAL? Because this is who I am and I will always aim to be: Above Normal.

Oh to be like you 

(To) Give all I have just to know you 

Jesus, there's no one besides you 

Forever the hope in my heart 

Death, where is your sting?

Your power is as dead as my sin

The cross has taught me to live

In mercy, my heart now to sing

The day and its trouble shall come

I know that your strength is enough

The scandal of grace, you died in my place

So my soul will live

Hearts Day (and Revolution)

Nope, I’m not gonna gush about my date tonight (which is with myself and my new book by Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception which I’ll share with you in 3… 2..) So yes, I guess I’m gonna.

So this book rambled my mind. Again. It overwhelms me but at the same time reconfirms that we are doing the right thing by launching this blog and sharing and connecting, and with me thinking to just walk away and just have the guts to start anew and just live my life the way I want to.

It’s about art, giving insight and update on how the economy has changed. It’s about how we’re like this fox who was trapped into thinking he’s okay with being inside a 4-walled fence, and about challenging us to renew our minds and look up and see that our fence is toppled down and that we’re not meant to being happily kept inside the boundaries that we’re once trapped into believing that are good for us. Get me? The book is about revolution.

Have you ever thought, what if, all people realize their talents and their desires and pursue them? What if we’re all working for something that is meaningful to us, something we can lay our lives down for? What if we took the time to think that instead of working for someone or for some company in an obligatory way, we work for what matters to us and put all our time and energy into it, affecting others?

Seth Godin said it best, “If your team is filled with people who work for the company, you’ll soon be defeated by tribes of people who work for a cause”.

It is true. I just realized that people are generally fed up with the desk work and the every day routine of the day job that “pays well” every 10th and 20th or 15th and 30th. How many employees do you hear every day complaining about their work, their co-worker, their salary, their hectic life? How many employees do you think wishes to be a full-time writer, makeup artist, teacher, missionary — someone who they are currently not? We all long to do ONE THING, whether we realize if or not, even if we deny it. We all long to be artists - to do a unique human work that touches another, (Godin).

I think the author of the book is weird and I’m proud he is. I’m glad he thinks different. I’m glad that he shares what he thinks. I’m glad that he published a book encouraging a healthy revolution. 

Revolutions bring total chaos.

That’s what makes them revolutionary.

Dream

We Dream.Do.Live. (To the fullest) I am a naturally born dreamer. Just like you and just like our founder Ira. *Yeay! clap! clap and join us. We'll not just dream together but we will put it in reality bit by bit! Volition is the key!* Since I am a follower of Ira's blog, somehow I get a glimpse of what she's up to. And, luckily before the year of the water snake starts she blogged about an idea of putting up a support group (online) called DREAM PARTNERS for 2013 (I think that was the name or the title arrghhh stubborn brain or probably sign of aging *wink*). I read the whole post and not to my surprise-I find myself interested, I mean that was such a brilliant idea?Isn't it? I even liked the post on tumblr. I waited and waited because originally she planned to do the blog and the facebook page before January 1st could hit the world. I wait and wait and wait until I can't wait anymore to the point that I thought she gave up such a lovely idea. Afraid that plausibly she gave up, I sent her a message (english pa yun, nosebleed!) and TAAAAADAAAAHHHH, well she's just busy with life haha but it will push through and so I was full of joy :) So, here it is!!!!!! GOALS?

I want to learn how to live in my Courage Zone. Well, I want to conquer the world and explore all the possibilities. Enjoy life in the present moment. Simple, I want t stop worrying about tomorrow, you know just enjoy :)

  To put people before things. Making people happy brings joy to me (*kahit masakit sa bulsa*). Way back college I make special treats for my classmates, friends and family for special occasions, like say Valentines Day I make chocolate coated marshmallows and I was like bringing this huge paper bag distributing sweets and it was really rewarding, priceless. When I started working for Boracay I stopped doing that, instead I just buy present for people who are dear to me, no special treats for Valentines, Christmas, Mom's Day, Dad's Day and blah blah. Now, I want to do that again and I was able to start my first project for my Tita who lives in a squaters area in Angles City in Pampanga. Basically, they're poor, my uncle works as a panday and my Tita stays in their house. She used to do manicure and pedicure for her neighbors but she stopped. She ran out of money to buy new nail polish and other things to keep her mini business running because her income would only be enough to put a somehow decent meal for her family and with other things that they have to consider like their electricity and water. They have three kids, all are going to school, which I'm happy about. The eldest and the next to the eldest are  high school students in a public school.  Tita and I are really close and we usually laugh together and make fun of random stuffs, she shares stories like I am being idolized by my younger cousins and they set me as an example for their children (the pressure is on me), and, of course she also shares problems with me and it did really surprise me that the tuition for a public school for high school students is Php 250.00 pesos a year (I mean pang dine out ko lang yan e!) and what's more surprising is that they're having a hard time looking for that small amount of money. So, to make the long story short, I helped her in my own simple way I bought all the things that she needs to get back to her manicure and pedicure business. My next plan is to make a tarpaulin for her to somehow advertise the business and attract more customers *wink*. I also plan to fund the study of her eldest (college) if given the chance to work abroad or be stable with business (in Gods time). My second project is for my brother. He was actually asking for a Vans shoes but instead I bought him a new cellphone since I thought he already has too many shoes. It was the very first time I gave something special for him (well, aside from money and clothes) and the feeling was unexplainable, I cannot complain or even cared how much money I shed out when he kissed and thanked me for the gift, I was overwhelmed that I I saw how I made him happy with that cellphone. I think he realized that I cared and I loved him because I was never vocal when it comes to how I love my family, I show it through actions and not words. Moving on, I also plan to help my other relatives by giving them even just small capital and also assistance to start up a mini business.

  Another was Valentines Day, sweet treats was distributed again but I didn't made homemade choco-marshes instead I bought ready to eat chocolate sand gave it in our office.

  AND... just recently I had my one on one session with my manager again and we've discussed my short term and long term goals and so I've explained to him what I meant for putting people before things and so I elaborated. He got interested which I am happy about and he asked me to organize my lifetime dream, an OUTREACH PROGRAM. I'm happy and nervous since I don't know how and where to start but hopefully I can make that happen just before April ends and again in Gods time.  I ALSO WANT TO INFLUENCE AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE TO SUCH EVENTS. I mean it doesn't have to be grand, my idea of an outreach is basically go to streets and teach street children how to read, cook food for them or treat 2 or 3 kids to Star City. Priceless! Other things? My family, I want to treat them for a vacation :) (*dame ko pera e no? Mangarap wagas!) What else? Business. My friend and I opened a business just this January but it didn't work and I was this person who always look for possible business opportunity since I don't want to work forever. I want to own and manage a business someday, it will only be me who'll control my time. AND now I am in partnership with my boyfriend who's a professional graphic artist and we recently launched our online business  named "OUR IDEA creative designs and prints" (Might as well like opur page? here's the link http://www.facebook.com/pages/Our-Idea/602062219810615?ref=hl). So basically since we both do graphic designing and we love ART we decided to make my idea happen :). I mean, there's is no harm in trying and at least I wouldn't have any regrets in the future hahaha! We are working on a project right now (our first project clap clap! )for a business card and gift certificate for one of my co-employee's business. Hopefully, we'll be lucky with this one. ALSO one of my goals for "OUR IDEA creative designs and prints" is to of course, GROW. We're still testing the waters and hopefully if God permits I want to incorporate events (organizing), video editing, photography (Well, since I have lots of photographer friends plus IRA) soon. WHEN the business is stable enough we plan to put up our own store.

    What else? Save more. and lastly Work abroad. I just love meeting new people and learning new cultures :) So for now. I think that would be it.

[wedreamdolive-blog]

january

I know it's a bit late for January but I wanted to look back at the past month so that I can tell what I needed to do now to get where I want to go. Sharing to you my goals as well.

  Photography

  To be a professional photographer, I need to work out on my portfolio. So I planned to have collaboration shoots with makeup artist and stylist aspirers and models as well, and for this month, the three were all in my friend Nikki. I also invested on a sturdy lens so that I can capture more with my focus this year which is portraiture.

  Blog

  I wanted to build up traffic on IRATRAVELS, so I planned to post every week and build the "books, blogs, and music" part of the blog, but as you can see I haven't done any reviews yet! :D Now I plan to either minimize my goal or just really schedule writing it.

Also, I've launched WEDREAMDOLIVE and although I know it's still a bit empty, for me, it's a success just launching it. Affecting 1 or 2 people to follow their dreams is totally amazing, but following your own dreams through sharing the journey is a success itself. It appears as though it's empty, but I know the stirring of hearts who came across this beautiful blog has just started. Time is on our side.

  I've also launched PHOTOSBYIRA which is the extension of IRATRAVELS focusing on my photography. And I'm so happy with Imgur as its photohost. Simple, direct to the point. If you're blogging photos, you should try it. :)

Blogging, proven, is hard work. But I'm willing to continue my writing sched and build up on it.

  Writing

I started a journal but this year I'm keeping a literal-notebook one. I'm planning to but a new printer so that I can print my OneNote journals since 2010 and bind them per year.

  For now, I'm focusing on photography and blogging, but writing, I think, makes up the triplets and I will write as always.

  Reads

5/50 in my goal of reads this year and I haven't finished anything this Feb. I'm currently reading an inspirational, fiction, and the Bible starting at Matthew. Planning to read the whole New Testament by the end of the year plus Psalms and Proverbs. Let's see.

  Travel

  I planned to travel less this year to save up for some of the things that I will share with you in the future. For now, just know that I'm saving (and that I don't need that bag! Or shoes! Or gadget thingy! Hahaha!)

This month, I was reminded that having too many goals can break you, so all you need to do is be happy with what you're doing and just enjoy doing it. Take a break from time to time, do something new, and know that with every little thing you do, you are making progress and that, will take you to far away places.

  So far, these are some of the things I've worked on in my dream list. How are yours doing? :)

inspiration

I once had an idea of a traveling journal. A real notebook traveling the world. One will start to write about how his/her day was and he/she will hand down the notebook to a friend who in turn will write down about his/her day the next day, and so goes the trend until there are no more pages left. It will be brought back to the original writer at last.

  I imagined that it will be shipped to France, where I wanted to start because I met an friend online there. And this, she will pass to a dear friend of hers and so on. It will travel the world and will go back to me.

  The sole purpose? To know that we are all in the same boat. That we are not alone. That you feel what I feel and I feel what you feel. To meet new minds and perspectives. To gain insight from people of different experiences and cultures.

  It is a dream that I'd like to continue. We'll collect our thoughts and read them together. We'll have it published, on the web or as a real book. It's an endearing way to remind ourselves that we are not really who we are in Facebook or Twitter, but we are who we are on the thoughts we have and write on our journals at the end of the day. Our secrets spilled, the way we see things revealed.

  It may be a received as a crazy idea, but with you and me, it will not be. After all, anything is possible in this world.

  This is my inspiration in beginning this blog, however, I know that we have to wait for the right time. For now, let us dream and continue to do, live.

[wedreamdolive-blog]

welcome hugs from dreamland

hi! we've finally launched our lovely dream blog. whew... for days i've been thinking about if we should pursue or just cancel it, but there's this tugging in my heart that i can't really resist, and yes, we should. even if there'll be only one dreamer who's going to post for the longest time, we will pursue.

in a way, this blog is a form of commitment, of us dreamers who simply cannot put out our wildest, fiery visions. who simply cannot let our dreams, our lives, die. no matter the end, we cannot let go.

i hope that through this, we will continue to seek our futures, help each other reach our goals, lifting the other when he or she falls. we are family, and together, we will dream, do, and live.

welcome, and happy dreaming!
