Chasing Joy

It was Friday night. And I was in love all over again. Out to a concert with one of my closest friends and we were in for a real musical treat. I believe Aiza Seguerra's anniversary concert - Bente Singko, was one of the best local concerts I've ever seen. What with an orchestra conducted by one great Filipino musician, Gerald Salonga. It was unassuming. Straightforward. No frills. Just plain talent. Soulful songs. And when songs get too personal, I couldn't help but sing my heart out. That's when I knew I never really forgotten what love was..nor did love really leave me. Now that can be told. After watching the concert and sipping a glass of mangojito That night, I had a glass of mangojito. As if love was not enough to pull my spirits up. Cheers to those who are in love and always will be!

It dawned on me that everything in life is never ending. Your needs, wants, desires and even your hopes and dreams are consistently being met up . Even your search for that one true thing seems to be a  continuing saga. It's an epic trail of finding and suspecting and learning  and moving on again. Just when you thought you found it, just when your hopes were high, suddenly life would show you otherwise. But I just cant stop now. Nor can I turn my back. The search continues. I may have to change course but it ain't over yet. 

I obviously overdid the entire days off from work. Office resumes tomorrow and I find myself wishing I should have gone to the beach. I was visualizing sitting on white sands, staring at the vastness of the sea and just thinking blankly- not forcing myself to certain thoughts. Whatever comes to mind, comes to mind. I feel most free when I'm doing just that. I now ask myself why do I always feel strong about seeing seas rather than mountains, or plain fields, or skyscrapers...each time I get this need to indulge in deep thoughts. When I stare at the seas, I could stare for so long without blinking. It is a picture of infinity. My thoughts could run endless and limitless as the seas. The seas to me are both a wonder and a scare. Being in the water is fun and water gives life, as they always say. Yet again, people also take risk of drowning themselves in the water. It's not all life and beauty. There can also be tragedy and fear. Which is pretty fair I guess. Life is something lik...

Holy Week 2012...As soon as I arrived at my place from a night of Visita Iglesia, I checked on my mobile phone and saw  an interesting and fitting text message from an unknown number. It says that with God's mighty power, our task in life is simply to PUSH - Pray Until Something Happens. It struck me, albeit its plain meaning. And because it dawned on me that I only know of one person who seems to have a penchant on using the word - push. We'll I've got this sudden realization while I was praying in one of the Churches I visited. I've been praying for Him to take away my pain. I wanted this "brokenness" and heartaches gone. I told Him, I've been carrying it for so long. I want this pain to be over and be happy at last. Real happy. I realized asking God to free us from pain is one of the selfish things in life. He suffered, nailed to death; yet, never asked for the Father to take them all away. He could have asked; yet, He didn't. Maybe we've got ...
