Long Lasting

Fairy tales made us believe that relationships are as lovely. When relationships don't work, it doesn't mean that love is less. It is just a fact that love is not enough to always make relationships work. Most often, love can be too vague of a reason for making relationships last beyond its sell date. Every relationship is bound to a point and that point is important. Along the road, the people involve will eventually discover that true love is an idealism that blurs the rationale of a functional and lasting relationship. Most relationship ends when it is dysfunctional and consuming of anything productive. When relationships are being neglected or taken fore granted, the person within the relationship will begin to question the existence of love and control over their partner. Often times, people seem to give the wrong perspective about the longevity of a relationship. It's like looking for relationship advice on a wrong website like arganoilshop.com. Being able to fully understand quality over quantity and learning when to let go and move on will define a relationship that will truly endure.    

Path to Happiness

I was never this happy. There was a time in my life that I felt very empty inside. With my loving family, thriving career and good life, nice home and good friends, i didn't really have any reason to be lonely -but I was. I tried immersing myself in my career - but i soon realized that being busy is different than being happy. And the busier I got, the more anxious and emptier i became. I tried going on extended vacation - but the pleasure I got from that was only temporary. I tried tried giving up my career to have more and longer time with God.  I reconnected my spirituality and spent more time serving in a renewal community. That is when i found the answer. As I drank of God's faith, i became more thirsty. So I drank even more. I discovered that only faith can quench my thirst. My purpose is now clear - to do God's will. Today, I can truly say that I am happy. My spirit is being cleanse effectively like argan oil for eczema treatment.

Glimpse After 25

It all happened too fast. I used to think that i have lived the fast lane. But after seven years of keeping that thought I found myself being left behind and stuck in one shallow hole. Life is subjective and I wouldn't mind the standards if pressure deemed not to exist. I cannot believe how the people around you can act as mirrors. As much a everyone is thriving to be unique, most people still ends up seeing themselves through the eyes of others. I was surprise how naive I had become over the years. I thought I had grown up but I was wrong. Perhaps that's what you get when you live too fast on an early age. This is not a whine of regrets  but a conversation to the self about making a reality check sooner. As one grows older, wisdom should knock beyond my head by now. Life has been kind, it's about time for me to do my part. To begin with, i'll have a pure moroccan oil  hair treatment to clear my head. 

State of Mind

Love is really complicated. If loving is practically a choice, then i am afraid to love. I am afraid to be inferior by its rules. I am afraid to invest emotions, knowing that in the process I would consequently be hurt. Do not get me wrong for I am not afraid to get hurt. Rather, i am afraid let go of my own selfish ego and vanity. They said that you would lose a part of yourself when you love. I am aware that in love, their would always be a choice. Perhaps I am afraid of those choices. I admit that I am selfish and unfaithful. I just cannot choose to love with my current state of expectations and frustrations. It it is just too much for me.  But to love and to fall in love are two different stories. Maybe my salvation comes with the latter. I pray for the patience to wait for that magnificent moment. A  moment when you do not need to buy argan oil  for a good body massage because everything feels good already.                  

The Highest Point

Man is a magnificent creature. A surfer in action looks very amazing. His strength and agility tested as one paddled through the waters. Swiftly gliding on the water looks like one can literally walk on water. Later, as a surfer emerges from the water, you get to see the secret of his beautiful stunts: the surfboard! But gone are the days when surfing as a sport relied merely on the surfer's grace and strength. Science and technology has now invaded the field of surfing. There are various surfboards that are equipped with GPS sensor, compass, or other strain gauges. Modern man constantly thinks of ways on how to improve his life and leisure. Man dreams of attaining perfection and pleasure. We desire to rise above the earth even above ourselves. I wonder what perfection truly means. I wonder what value is left if man can finally attain the dream of perfection.Maybe that time we won't be needing argan oil for skin or other beauty products to keep us beautiful. Perfection.

Positive Attraction

To be open minded can really free you. An inspirational speaker once said that at these times never start your morning by listening, watching, or reading the news. This is said to attract negativity that contradicts the "carpe diem" perspective. In seizing the day, a person must be equipped with positive perspective to attract positive vibes. It is the basic principle of feeling and believing about the goodness of things. This is something that is deprived when partaking your share of knowing the latest news. It is a principle that leaves you on a win-win situation. You actually have nothing to lose if you just trust in the goodness of things. Putting in mind that if that something doesn't work, then it is not for you and you deserve only on what's best for your situation. I have always believe that being consistently aware of the news would keep me inform and prevent me from putting myself in bad situation. However, everything just makes sense. I'd rather believe on what's already good than to live in the fear of the bad things that may never happen. Reading an arrested troubled teen can never give my day a good head start.

Elder Responsibilities

Most people believe that its fun being the eldest of the family. Being the eldest in the brood of siblings does not just make you your parent's lab rat. It also constitutes you in a very critical position that will either make you a good or a bad older brother or sister. It is a position that leaves any one without a choice. I am the eldest of the family and I do not actually feel bitter about this but rather anxious and wary. As what I have said, I am not given a choice to be the eldest. I just happened to be one. I am not very happy or bad about it. It's just that reality would always be the first to hit you because it is expected of you. Perhaps that is the reason why most oldest sibling tends to be very serious or lenient in perceiving life's responsibilities. We live in a benchmark of extreme polarities. An eldest child sure has his or her dose of wilderness therapy programs to make it through.

Educational Attempt

I have always love the opening of classes. Now that class is already starting, the house seems to feel normal again. By this, i mean of my hearing my mom early in the kitchen whipping our breakfast and my sibling's pack lunch for school. The beginning of school always feels good and promising. However, this school is a bit different. With the implementation of the K12 system here in the Philippines, I am somewhat wary and skeptical. Additional years would mean additional expenses and more room of system improvisation from the department of education. I believe that quality education requires time, but I also see a juvenile system that will soon make the first batch of K12 students a social learning experiment. I commend the guts of our country in making the first move of change. However, i worry with the current state of the system of our education department. Sooner or later more students would prefer military school tuition a lot more affordable than pursuing the course that they really wanted.

Understanding Seduction

I love reading books. I read a book about the art of seduction. It is by far the best book that I have read this year. The author was able to perfectly balance the logical and practical reasoning in explaining the human behavior of seduction. A book can be a very powerful tool and I must say that this book is one of the most powerful in its genre. The ideas presented is so mobile that if vested for the wrong intentions can be lethal and destructive. I was pretty much entertained and enriched with the all the common tendencies of behavior that are always happening but are most often not noticed. Finishing the book have given me the sense of confidence and curiosity in actualizing the thoughts presented. The art of seduction, if done appropriately without malice and guilt, can be the most thrilling and breath-taking human experience. I haven't thought of any 50th birthday gift ideas for my mom's birthday because i was too engrossed with the book. 

The Aftermath

I made a lot of mistakes. If there is one thing that i would want to improve in attending school, that would be improving my study habits. I never realize back then how important a well established study habit can help me in the future. It never occurred to me before that a good study habit is a good training of acquiring discipline and time management. I regret now because I am very lousy in managing my time. My self discipline is that of a ten years old. If I were to take the marshmallow test, perhaps I am within the 90% who claimed the marshmallow filled bowl on the table and ran short on self discipline. Its actually hard to grow up when one lacks self discipline. I can easily be distracted from work by quickly skipping sites like http://www.arganoilshop.com/. I easily get astray and fall out of focus. If i just had endure the study habit training when I was a kid, perhaps my life would be a little easier now.   

Longing and Desperate

Love can be deceiving. Romantic relationship needs other factors aside from mere attraction and love. I used to think that if i love the person everything will just come into place. Perhaps that is the reason why i have long and stable relationships. But there are just times when no matter how much you love each other, somethings just won't work out together. No matter how long my relationships are, it still doesn't have happy endings. In the long run, i began to find incompatibilities of values as the cause of misunderstandings and disappointment. I am beginning to believe that compatibility plays a fair share with attraction and love. Perhaps compatibility makes everything work. In this time of age, finding that compatible love is like finding needle in a haystack. It seems that it is easier to learn how to love than to find someone compatible. Perhaps i'll just go online shopping on http://www.arganoilshop.com/ rather than going into deep with hopeless romantic mishaps.
