A Prophesy

9:10AM – Mnla - Iloilo

At times when I travel just by myself, a blow of many dreams like omen gets through my mind.

When I walk inside the airport and see people rushing to the gates of the plane, I see faces of excitement or…. anxiety. ? I don’t know how each people feel, all I know is that many of us inside the airport have dreams unfinished, anxieties to address, dreams to fulfill.

I get inspired, really inspired to write when I look at the window of the plane and look several feet below; discover the forms clouds which cover the houses and bodies of water. Why inspired? I relate it to our dreams. The distance of the plane and the ground separated by the clouds are like dreams we always wanted to finish, yet, there are limitations. There are plenty of ways to uncover our dreams, the thing is, we need to learn not to ever ever quit. There are dreams unfulfilled but are meant to be finished.

It is the desire of every human being to become rich, to become famous, to become the boss they always dreamed of, maybe a businessman, or the next Henry Sy or Lucio Tan…. But for these things to happen, we have to learn to become passionate with the things we do. Based on statistics, the characteristic common to all successful people is PASSION. Without it, our actions will never produce very good results.

Passion is an art, and we can only learn the art if we are whole heartedly devoted to our dreams. Dreams will always be there, will always be a part of our everyday lives, some fulfilled, some yet to be fulfilled and some yet to be discovered… the thing here is, whatever dreams we have, just be passionate about it and you are making a prophecy of the person you will yet discover… yourself.

6:51PM – Iloilo - Mnla

Update: I’m still in the airport, my flight is 45minutes delayed. I have a choice now, to be frustrated or not to become frustrated. … hmm.. and so I choose to be not to… life is about waiting after all :P

Love? I thank God for it

Today I learned that what keeps relationships intact is communication. Without it, love is not authentic. Communication brings faith, and these two are the products of love, and love alone.

At times, people will just keep their mouth shut than conveying what they feel for the person they love. More so, keep it for the rest of their lives. In my case, I don’t intend to keep it, it’s just that, I just want to say things out loud when I am ready, but at the end of the day, I still commune. Some people would just bluntly express what they feel, but some would wait for the perfect time. While others forever. Whichever way, it is always important to have courage to tell people what you feel, for it always worth it. And I do believe in that.

As I keep on exchanging stories with friends, I learned that broken relationships root, of course, from different situations. Broken relationships happen because of different circumstances. But the very thing common to it all, is the failure of any of the couple involved tokeep each other and failure to fight for the love they feel. Hence, making the love called forever “not so” forever

. On one note, when love is replaced by hatred, that is the time, love becomes irrelevant. Relationships are always complicated, sometimes, even more complicated that we thought. But what is important is that you let the other party know where you are coming from, how you feel and what both of you can do about it… you love each other after all… it’s love that matters to each..

At the end of the day, while I’m sipping coffee at the nearby street, I realized that the gift of love hypes the feelings or emotions and make us float. Love? I thank God for it….
