Did you know that most of us are always trapped in our own comfort zone? Why? Because we are afraid to fail... we are afraid to get hurt.

I personally admit that I have this fear of failing. I don't try things which, I think I'm not yet capabale of doing. I'm afraid to try because I'm afraid because I'm afraid to fail or I might get hurt.

YOU'VE NEVER FORSAKEN ME

noreply@blogger.com (envina) — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 04:57:00 +0000

There are moments in our life where we feel nobody's on our side. We need someone to be with us in times of trials. Someone we want to lift us up and tell us everything's gonna be alright. Yet noboy's around because everybody's so busy with their own life.

FRIENDSHIP

noreply@blogger.com (envina) — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 03:35:00 +0000

Friendship is a bond for all. It's not like you have to put standards to every person. Real friendship does not count on the age, distance, beauty, height, status in life or whatever.

My First Walk with the Davao Bloggers

noreply@blogger.com (envina) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:18:00 +0000

"Opportunity comes but to grab it depends, on someone's choice."

It was because I love to write a journal way back teenage years, that I have decided to have a blog of my own. Then I started this site at the beginning of 2008 and has been on and of in the blog world. Until I was assigned to a project in September 2010. I became super busy and left blogging.

Few days ago, I was invited to attend this 1st Davao Bloggers Walk via Facebook. I wasn't sure who's responsible for inviting me hahahaha... I was a little bit hesitant to join because I don't know who're coming. While the event date got closer, I BBMed my friend Leah Valle who happens to be the president of the group. Then I decided to join the day before the event.

The event was held in June 20,2011 ... shall I say a success. It was organized in honor of the Philippine's National Hero, Dr. J

ose Rizal @ his 150th birthday.

I was so blessed for opening my heart and my mind to the knocking opportunity of meeting the group. I've met a lot of Davao Bloggers. Everybody seems so nice and jolly (not to mention we have a comapany named Jollibee hahahaha). I had so much fun.

The event started way too late from the time they set but it's ok since it gave me the opportunity to mingle with new friends. The

event started with a few words from the officers, then getting to know the fellow Davao Bloggers and we headed to the Davao Museum. Then we had a few taste of Davao Street Foods, then we get to visit to the Jose Rizal collections (stamps, coins and paper money) of Mr. Rene Adapan at Manila Bulletin's 2/F where I was given the chance to be a "1-minute Billionaire," then we headed to the St. Peter Cathedral and then to Kusina Dabaw for a small "salo-salo." Summing it up, I HAD FUN!

Here are a few photos to for you to see:

Thank you Davao Bloggers. I hope it's not the first and the last meeting we have. I enjoyed your company.

When God Opened His Door for Me

noreply@blogger.com (acubepixel) — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 11:22:00 +0000

I was on my way back to the city when I took this. The clouds caught my eyes so
i made my shot. This photo was taken at the port of Costa Marina Resort, Island Garden City of Samal.

Be Watchful of Your Words...

noreply@blogger.com (acubepixel) — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 17:29:00 +0000

Have you ever been insulted,
Or have you lost your self esteem,
Or been discouraged about what somebody
have said against you?

My dear friends,
words are just words.
But it's power gives greater pain
than being shot by a gun.
You may not agree but that's how I see it.

Words can be very painful that they
could leave scars that could affect your life
and carry it throughout the years.

I was hit by painful words.
Yes, once, twice and even thousand times.
But it's okay because I could handle things.
How about those the weak?

I know there were times that I've been harsh.
When my mouth utters words that are possibly painful.
But after each harshness were realizations
that what I did was wrong.
That it could cause someone to lose his/her confidence
that could of course affect his future.

Words could have different impact on someone.
They are powerful.
There are inspirational, there are killers.
They can kill someone who is not strong enough
to look at the other side of it.
On the other hand, they could inspire
someone to be successful.

I had been stoned by words a thousand times...
and a thousand times I lost my trust in myself...
after a few downfalls, I have stood up a thousand and one times...
those words became my foundation of who I am now...

It all taught me not to be too much attached to anyone...
