-The letter-

This was a letter I wrote, in a form of a short story. It's actually an article for a cousin of mine included in their magazine. Enjoy reading it...

My dear,
It's been a long time since I've heard from you, I do pray that you're well. We're both aware about what happened with you and that guy. I hope that bitterness has not grasped your heart and carried you to change. You were amazing to him. Everything was great with you and him, things were simpleand comfortable, but even the greatest cities had to fall someday, unfortunately. He knew how important you were, he knew you're worth and what you deserved, but as the time passed and minds along with hearts were opened, he started to wonder. Love is about understanding and accepting differences whatever they may be. A mutual respect for any belief between the two of you that never could meet on the same page. He loved how much your faith meant to you, it wasn't your looks, but your personality and heart we're everything to him. Unfortunately, he had his own beliefs, things he couldn't simply disregard for it was all part of who he is. I do hope you understand that, and just because love ended, and dreams were broken, doesn't mean love is just a pipe dream; it just means that he was simply a teacher directing you towards your true future, even thiugh it's not with him. He loves you... so much. Godbless you and do take care. I'd appreciate a reply, whevever you prefer. Remember to live the life you want, it's still your dreams that matter. Farewell.



P/S: Forgive me for being that guy...

-I believe-


Michael Jordan believed that he could fly, and after being the greatest on the court, we all believed that he actually could. Amazing what a little belief could do. Sometimes we're too arrogant thinking that what we know and want is right for us, we're too proud about what we have and possess. For once in our life, let's just believe. Believe that, when you ask for a sign, and it doesn't show up, rethink and reassess what you're about to do. Sometimes things are so obvious, yet we let our little egos get the best of us and in the end... regret eats us alive. We regret because we think that we know everything despite the fact that we only use 10% of our brains. With this limited capacity, the way I see it, the other 90% is belief. A strong belief that will keep us assured that God's got our back, in whatever ocean we swim or whatever storm we brave. People may disagree with me, but for me... this is what I believe.

-Family first-

Is it right for a man to do right for the interest of his family?? For a man to actually kill? "Thou shalt not kill" , yet people believe in the interests and benefits of the family. "Never take sides against the family'' as Mike Corleone said in "The Godfather". Besides the fact that I haven't blogged in a very long time; I do miss it. Although, I have to say, things I say maight change a little, a different mindset but still the same person writing... and blogging. Well, a huge huge HUGE congratulations to "Pambansang Kamao'' Congressman Manny Pacquiao for winning his 8th title after beating Antonio Margarito; "The Tornado from Tijuana".Manny is also a family man. Despite the controversy surrounding his life as well as his family's, he still continues to love what he does and also to love his country. Manny showed that despite the other fight in the political field, he was not distracted and still continued fighting for what he loved in the first place. In the words of Don Corleone,''It's nothing personal, just business''. Godbless.
