Reunion Matters

Being in Nature

noreply@blogger.com (Let's Talk Over a Cup of Coffee) — Fri, 27 May 2011 01:31:00 +0000

Sometimes, being quiet and to commune with nature is better than being with people with differences in looking at things the way you look at it. Here, you just have to feel and see the most wonderful things on earth.

Let it Closed for the Meantime

noreply@blogger.com (Let's Talk Over a Cup of Coffee) — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 10:01:00 +0000

When a door of opportunity closes, it doesn't mean it won't open again. At its right time, it will open for opportunities of more than what it has when it was opened the first time. On the other hand, while it is closed, the windows are there, open for you to see and look at far and visualized what it's look like if you would have grabbed right away that supposed opportunity without any preparation.

Taking Risk

noreply@blogger.com (Let's Talk Over a Cup of Coffee) — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 03:14:00 +0000

Crossing over to a journey without the full preparation and tools is like risking your life. To take risk is not actually bad, as a matter of fact, it's part of life. It is one way of knowing in the end if it is worth taking for. Otherwise, if it's not, at least you've tried.

Sincere Observance

noreply@blogger.com (Let's Talk Over a Cup of Coffee) — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 12:33:00 +0000

Two weeks ago, I attended the baptismal ceremony of my friend's 2 month's old daughter. Few days prior to the said ceremony, I was reminded to be in the church before 9 o'clock in the morning for a pre-baptismal seminar. Unable to attend will disqualify me from one of the God parents, so quarter before it started, I was there already, waiting for the rest; my future kumares and kumpares, my friend with her spouse and my soon to be God daughter, and all the others that have the same purpose on coming that day. While the discussion was yet on its first and half hour (have never been attended a seminar as long as this before), I felt a discomfort caused by hours sitting, which opted me to have my legs straightened up and stood. Grabbing the time opportunity, I went to a small store near the church and bought something sweet to eat-to make up my usual time to lunch (it was already past 11 and I usually have my breakfast and lunch all in one at 10:30). I didn’t go back immediately to where I had seated after I got back from the store, instead, headed on to a bench just a few rows away from where the person in charged of the seminar stood, enough to still hear what she had talking about while I settled myself on it with the few others who were, just like me, bored of the lecture. From there, I took some bites of the cookies until I consumed one tiny pack (I still had one pack left). It was enough to sustain my stomach up to the prepared lunch at my friend’s house. A bit mess on my hand with the empty pack, thinking as to whether I would just keep it in my bag or not, I stood and looked for a bin where I could throw it away. But I found myself roaming around outside the church and found nothing, until I asked a guy who was working in the convent and pointed his finger at the big pail that seemed to me was not at all a trash can. So I was relieved from it and headed inside where the seminar was still on going but suddenly interrupted by the priest’s signal to end it and started the baptismal ceremony.

To make this story short, despite the boredom from that long hours of seminar, I got to still extend my patience on waiting for the baptismal ceremony, although I was a bit shocked because it was done in 15 minutes only, when to my mind, it should have been more important than the 2 hours discussion. The solemnity was no longer observed by most of who attended it due to their long hours spent listening as to what and what not to do during baptismal, the do’s and don’ts, and the penalties that they have specified on certain requirements being not followed, so on and so forth. It was unbelievably happened after all the one lectured us ( I think she was a nun) got to almost shout and had a firmed voice telling one mother that they were not supposed to accommodate baptismal from a child whose parents have not married yet (the mother was unwed), or the father is not present for that matter. She further told us that most of the people who have lots of problems and got into trouble come from the Catholic Religion. And I said silently to myself addressing her my question of "what do you think is the reason why"?

I am not trying to provoke all the Catholics here because I myself a Catholic by religion. But my way of salvation is of born again Christians and the path of life I followed is of Buddhism. So, I think it’s not on what religion you may have but it’s how you will put life on something that you’re doing regardless of how you may believe in it or not.

Freedom

noreply@blogger.com (Let's Talk Over a Cup of Coffee) — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 06:43:00 +0000

All beings have the freedom to do everything they want in life. But, make sure what you are doing will not harm you, that in the end makes you a prisoner of your own freedom.

Closed Yet So Open

Being simply situated in one place does not mean you are allowing your mind to be narrowed, but perhaps, you are giving an analysis on finding the possible reasons why things didn’t happen according to your own will and ideas. It is again perhaps, you are absorbing what have past experiences taught you, hoping it would further open your mind and be aware of everything that is yet to happen.

Inside Out Reflection

noreply@blogger.com (Let's Talk Over a Cup of Coffee) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 10:00:00 +0000

The inner beauty of a person reflects on everything he/she does in the outside. Although for others they don’t see it that way, for as long as it does not harm anyone, is what matters at all.

If you are faced with darkness in your life right now, always remember that there is light after, just like how dawn breaks the night to welcome the new day.

Thought distortions are in most cases the cause of emotional disturbances. If left uncorrected, could lead to stress and depression.

Life Is Like A Cup of Coffee

I would like to share my cup of coffee to a friend of mine who is celebrating her birthday today. It's not how old that counts, but it's how you live your life through the years of your existence. Happy birthday!

Awareness

noreply@blogger.com (Let's Talk Over a Cup of Coffee) — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 01:52:00 +0000

Thinking of what words to say before making others hurt is not that easy when you are at the verge of emotional turmoil, but if you always entail awareness within yourself you can easily do it. It could instantly change your feeling and discover a real peace within yourself.

You would be sound hypocrite if you'll say you don’t need anyone at all, but somehow, if you feel happier living on your own than living with someone who wouldn’t care for you at all, then you’ll see you can survive.

It's Right to Feel Right

To love a wrong person does not mean everything in their relationship is also wrong. It may have been seen that way, but it could have been otherwise the right relationship you've ever dreamed of in your life.
