.. Pipe Dream

2020-04-01T03:11:00.000-07:00

I must admit, i'm sober when this urge to write unexpectedly came. As i begin to tidy up the throw pillows on our sofa, i suddenly thought of what tomorrow could bring... for all of us. I know Hope and Faith are the beliefs that's sustaining most of us now. And this is when i realized to draw an analogy with the exodus of Moses -- wilderness wandering, skeptical of what awaits on the other side, and yet, the people still followed and moved on, holding on to aspiration and deliverance.

Currently, everyone seems to worry about work, economy and the future. Of course, I cannot blame anyone on that. We have been used to the cycle. We are focused on distressing about tomorrow that, admittedly, we forgot today, each day, the Present. We forgot that we have to live by the minute --where we offer everything to God for He will take care of us. We should not be anxious. Trust is the key. How? I honestly don't know too but probably God is saying that the world habituated itself on power and money that our world just revolved around it. Come to think of it, life used to be so simple but man made it complicated.

Makes me wonder why was money invented? Why is there a need for power? too many why's where you won't even know where to start. Shouldn't it be that we all need to be equal? Perhaps God is making a way for people to reach out to the needy. A test on how we, as human beings, will cope up on these trying times to save humanity. Would empowered people risk of losing most of what they have just to make sure that mankind will survive and remain? This may cost them their fortune but could eventually balance life and let us function the way we used to be. Maybe this is the message. Unite. Connect. Share. Live and Love.

Well, this is the current parody of life.

For now, let's all wait until this juncture ends, for this too shall pass. Let us all look at the brighter side and take all of this as a blessing in disguise. Come on, this is a vacation we are longing to have with our family. There are so much things to do. Talk, play, sing, eat, dance, drink, chat, etc.. endless ways to go on with this. What's important is that we are with our family.. cherish each day and worry not of tomorrow. Life is short. Let's all live it.

Matthew 6:25-27 (NIV) Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

Matthew 6:34 is “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

METAPHOR

I'm pretty sure most of us experienced heartache in one way or another. Do you remember the pain? When you are asking when is it gonna end or when will all your feelings be numb? I always say that it's okay to feel that way.. it's natural.. but one day you will wake up and you will be wondering why all those griefs were gone. Snap. Just like that.

This holds true with what we are experiencing right now.. One day, it will all be done -- just like that.

In the meantime, Pray. Believe. Miracles happen.

Have a good day everyone! CHEERS...

The Sad Truth About Career Break (whether by choice or not)

2019-06-26T03:44:00.001-07:00

Career breaks are sometimes predetermined, by choice or due to some unavoidable circumstances, and some of the reasons could be as follows:

There is great certainty in the saying that good leadership is the key to employee satisfaction and that a good boss is better than a bad company. Once that feeling is lost, your determination and eagerness to work also diminishes, thus leading you to leave whatever you may lose.
There could also be a time that you feel the need to be with your children for a while so as to properly guide them during the most crucial times of their lives.
Unexpected sickness or sudden loss of someone where your presence is needed for undetermined amount of time.
And probably just some time for yourself to leave all the stress behind.

Whatever reason there is, it means you, taking a break from the work station for some time with the hope of one day coming back as soon as you are ready and able.

Cynically, the plan seems to be great and the reasons justifiable. But the truth is when you already feel the need to come back, most employers or agencies for that matter does not seem to welcome your achievements and experience anymore, no matter how good it is.

Life seems to be really unfair. There just seems to be no justification on how employers assess your qualification during your absence. Doesn't it follow that you are still YOU even when you were not in the workstation? What you have learned and experience does not just diminish on one's gap. Once a driver, is always a driver even he doesn't drive a vehicle for quite some time. Your instinct and skills are still there to remember everything.

These facts also goes congruently when you are applying first time on a job. You have no idea on what awaits you, just the eagerness to learn and be able to fulfill what's there in front of you and eventually, you get the hang of it.

So, what am I trying to point here out? Yes, I'm one of the unfortunate people who decided on a career break and is now being discriminated and treated inferior for being unemployed for quite some time. As long as employers perceive this as such, the longer the unemployment extends. Sad sad truth.

I have lots to offer and I always believe that my intellectual capacity and skills are in tact and perhaps even more enhanced during the time that the aforementioned reasons transpired. Absence does not mean you lose your qualifications. I do MS office works to assist and teach the kids with their school needs. I love to research in a topic I am interested in and I would surely try to learn more if I get the chance to do it. After all, google is a great tool to learn.

But then again, these facts doesn't seem to be clearly assessed by employers. What they perceive is that when you're out, others could be better, even if your CV clearly states so.

Now, for people who are planning or unintentionally needs to be on a career break, think twice, thrice or a million times. Even the people who promised you something may not be there to pick you up when you needed them the most.

Cheers to a cloudy return.

..SOUL MATE, one-on-one with DESTINY

2013-09-15T03:56:00.000-07:00

I have been trying relentlessly to write an article since time immemorial but focus and lack of time always gets me. However, due to the insistence and great confidence entrusted upon me by a dear friend who has long since requested me to enlighten her on a topic, here i am, trying to pick my wits up.

So what has my friend been pushing me all along? I should say this is a real knack for a scrutinizing discussion and a perfect thrill-seeking analogue -- the asymmetry between soulmate and destiny.

First things first, let's try to define each one separately before coming to a conclusion.

SOUL MATES

Soul mates have been known and defined as souls that were separated and were designed to look forever for his other half, the other half of his soul. Based from what i gathered, there are speculations founded on some divine mystical insights that God created hermaphrodite souls — in other words, equally male and female. Subsequently, these souls were detached into separate genders as a form of punishment over their deeds. So for every reincarnation, they were condemned to spend their lives searching for the other half to complete them. And only upon ablution of their incurred indiscretion shall these souls merge back together and return to the ultimate.

Taking these things into consideration, i reckon that soul mates look for each other with the goal and idea to: first, make everything work out fine and second, to stitch things back together. This pair may unknowingly recognize each other upon initial encounter.. but as time goes by, and these individuals learn to grasp with each others' strength and weaknesses, they begin to feel the need to be with each other for whatever reason there is where aback and underneath lies their mission to accomplish things.

Well, i guess this conforms to my previous quote that --

.. soul mates doesn't necessarily mean that these souls have to be perfectly in accordion with each other in perpetuity.. rather, the impeccable half is meant to be there to guide the other half's dissipation in eternity..

DESTINY

Destiny or fate has been defined as the predetermined course of events -- a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the cosmos. Therefore this, i should say, has already been written even before our existence. Goes well with the saying, everything and anything in this world exists and happens for a reason.

We could assert that we are always left with the choices and decision. Yes, nonetheless, if we try to deliberate on the concept, we can end up recognizing that these decisions were presets. All were authored. Even as simple as the time you wake up in the morning, the rude person you encountered in the street, the screaming boss, anything and everything for that matter. We are all programs waiting to happen. I don't think that we can ever reverse what is due. This is NEMESIS.

..i always believe that everything happens for a purpose…

…for a reason

..though it may be for a good cause

..or otherwise..

..everything was destined to be..

For us to take note of it..

..maybe no matter how many times the world reboots..

..whoever personality we become..

..we’ll always end up the same

..entirety is how it was meant to be..

CONCLUSION

So, is soul mate and destiny the same?

Errrr...

I am into the impression that there are cases that some people may have already uncovered their soul mates. The thing is they chose not to resolve their dues in the specified lifetime, thus the destiny to separate and fulfill wherever their fate led them. Probably both souls may still be unsatisfied on what previous lives came about and will still challenge the life ahead without each other and thereby compensate the undoings owed with their kismet. And until the time that the other half decided to stick, no matter what it entails to get full deliberation of his mate, then and only then that these souls will be reunited and be as one.

I have to emphasize that this is inevitable and was decided by fate according to our incurred karma. That is, the moment the souls were separated, all were written down.

Judging from my personal elaboration, i can safely conclude that Soul mate and destiny are not the same. Soul mates decided on how destiny would be, the first time that they have been sentenced to separate. They could cross paths somewhere in time but may not yet be destined to be together. Our destiny today were based on what we and our soul mates did. This destiny is the reflection on who we were and what we should be. Therefore destiny is congruent to soul mate. There shall be a point in time that our half will be our destiny and then and only then will soul mate and destiny be synonymous with each other. So, if you are with someone where you've been together, struggling life's up and down, here and there.. and still end up sticking with each other.. then maybe, you & your soul mate has finally met destiny.. who knows? only our consciousness can decide..

..well, let's admit.. life and its corresponding mystery is so complicated.. it's an elaborate puzzle.. the only thing we need is learn how to deal with it.

Cheers!!

THOROUGHFARES

Living in Abu Dhabi for over a year proved to be worth the exodus we had from the comfort zone we maintained on our native land. Of course, this excludes the longing for friends and loved ones we left there. Despite the extreme hot weather condition, anyone can get by with the discomfort because of the air conditioned places everywhere, 24/7.

Aside from that, there’s this feeling of security anywhere you go. You can walk through the skirts of Abu Dhabi without any worries that someone may grab you or any of your belongings. Safe and Sound could very well describe the atmosphere. This is why you often find people preferring having long walks in reaching their destination.

Our family love to go places even when there’s really no purpose in doing so. We love doing things all together. Recently, my husband decided that he start biking so as to get fit. Biking, brisk walking and anything you can think of to relax means Corniche. And to adhere to the head of the family’s purpose, the rest of us joined him in his endeavor-- by walking.

As I have already mentioned, taking long walks in Abu Dhabi is but natural. The lone dilemma we are having is the sidewalks’ accessibility to people with toddlers or babies in strollers/buggy/baby carriage.

What’s so amazing here is that, there are pavements that have ramps in going up. But upon reaching the end of the pavement, voila! There’s no way how you can get off your baby carriage with ease! Whatever happened to the engineering designs here? Who were in charged of the public works and highways that they let those road designs pass their quality? Everything would have been so perfect hadn’t the sidewalks were designed that way. Good thing here is that there are no disabled people going on their own in their wheel chairs. Otherwise, they would really be having a lot of trouble getting through their destination. Imagine the underpass, having these access ramps, but before you could reach those ramps, you will be having this big bamboozle on how you can get your wheel chair up the underpass’ stone curb..whew!

I guess I’m just trying to think my mind out loud hoping that some concerned authorities could do something about this enigma.

So for the meantime, we just have to settle on the great obstacle course in reaching Corniche as our toddlers endure the wiggle-waggle on the thoroughfares of Abu Dhabi. Cheers!

what matters is how i could hold on..
what matters is how i can bring back those senses..

i have done so many things
so many things for the air i breathe..
and i will continue doing so,
just to bring back purity into it..

i realized that sometimes people can't think straight
will punish themselves for things that got uncontrollable..
self-forgiveness just seem so hard
even at the stake of giving up everything so wonderful..

all these just for the guilt..
for the people who are so innocent, untainted..
will be willing to let go..
just because of the "undeserving anymore" belief..

pathetic, i should say..
but then there are people who remain true and loyal..
..unconditional love never ceases..
for as long as the world evolves..
..no ifs.. no buts..

2010-01-18T22:12:00.000-08:00

…CROSSROADS

..my whole life flashed back on me in an instant..
..my BFF came to me when I needed her most..
This, without asking..without her knowing anything..
She just popped out of nowhere and put my senses back again..

It’s amazing how God works..
If you’re not aware, you won’t be noticing it..
..Good thing is I opened my eyes..
And from there I saw the wonderful world that still awaits me..

.. I am so thankful for everything that happened in my life..
In all honesty, I realized.. I always am..
Despite of the hurdles and all the pain..

I have lived a life full of struggles..
But I never let any of these get in my way..
I always looked at the brighter side..
Chose to just leave all the troubles behind..
I always believed then that problems never ceases to materialize..
And it would be best just to leave it at that..
Until my recent dejection..

‘guess there will always come a point in time
When you’ll be in total breakdown and collision..
But if you don’t find a way of getting out of the dumps..
You’ll be set to plunge deeper and deeper
That you will be setting yourself, never to see the sun again..

..but what made me back to realization in an instant?
The LOVE that is around me all along..

I blinded myself into focusing on just one drawback..
And forgot who and what I am all along..

..i am a woman who’s so strong, determined and untainted..
I can always do what I want to do when I do put my heart on it..
I just realized it now..

I do things because I love to and I want to..
And because I am happy the way I am..
..With what I have..
Nothing more, nothing less..

I was into this feeling all along
When all of a sudden I shifted my focus..
This is when it got me into deep turmoil..
And I believe this is what happens to most of us..
When we unintentionally converge ourselves on a setback..
And dwell on it continually..

Looking for answers to our questions is always endless..
Because we don’t really know what answers do we really want..
We continuously expect..
But no specifications on what that is..

But I grasped on an idea that this is just so simple..
If we want an answer and don’t know what we want,
‘toss a coin’
It works because it just don’t settle the question for you..
Rather, as the coin begins to spin
You’ll begin to realize what you’re hoping for..

..aaah.. I guess I am getting back into my senses now..
There’s so much in life that I have to be thankful for..
..i have raised a wonderful family..
..i have four wonderful kids
..i have been living with the man I love, my air ..
..i have a wonderful mom who’s still there for us..
..i have my dear brothers always there for me..
..i have my in-laws who treasure me..
..i have so many overwhelming talents to share..
..i have so many friends who care..
And most especially,
..i thank God for all the love in the world from all these people..

YOU, my dear friends, who have tapped me
In your own precious way,
Without you knowing it..

Now I am in a new realm
And will be working hard for the new pace of my life
Guided by my innermost passion,
I know, I’ll be getting into all my dreams in no time..

I just wish that somehow, somewhere,
I have shared with you all the feelings I am into right now..
And that through this prose,
I have imparted with you the knack of life..

This is my crossroads..

And I am now bound to take off..

All my best wishes to everyone..

..i feel so totally miserable,

..unappreciated..

how does one get by with these feelings?
..i want to get numb from all the emotions..
..want to get away from it all..

but how?

i wish i am like others who don't care..
i wish i am a boulder..
i wish i am emotionless..
i wish i am frozen..
i wish i am anesthetized..
i wish.. i wish.. i wish..

but nothing materializes..
still, i'm in this pain..
too much pain so hard to bear..
where no more cure awaits..

..i'm so tired..
and i just simply want to get off of it all..
probably this is what i am all along..
a big loser.. a big failure

..i don't know how to hold on with these feelings anymore..
i just hope i still can..

Puzzler..

Different tales for different people
Each one holds each justification for living..
No boundaries no rules..
Everyone thinks what they are up to is right..
Everyone feels that they are on the proper and moral justification
And that he deserves what is due him..

Yes, there are always two sides of the coin..
They could be made the same..
Still,
One side faces opposite the other..
consequently,
each side bears its own face..

Everyday living taught me distinct facets of life..
Moreso in meeting different people..
Hearing their stories..
And analyzing each one of them..

All have their own stories to tell..
And ironically, all seem to trust me
With their own personal story
When nobody dares to ask mine..
When I can’t share my own tale
on the other hand..

All these makes me
A shock absorber..
A story keeper
A deep dark secret holder..
I don’t know why..
But people tell me their stories
Even if I don’t elicit from them..

I guess I was so destined
To study and analyze each one’s perception
Thereby, learning to study from it..
I don’t normally give advice..
I always ask what they want
And from there
It leads them to their personal choice..

These leave me with an enigma..
Who is right?
Who is wrong?
Why do people seem to do things
When they know deep inside that it’s erroneous?
Why? Because they totally feel that
THEY ARE on what is RIGHT and JUST..
Now who’s gonna judge this?

This is a quandary..
Life has its own direction for all people
Everyone feels they should get
the happiness and satisfaction they so deserve
because they’ve given all for it..
Yes, each one of us..

So where does this take me?
Nowhere..
I could be right,
I could be wrong..
I don’t really know
And if possible,
I don’t want to care
for fate has its own way of playing with me..
with my life..

Fragments of yesterdays...

2009-10-22T04:27:00.000-07:00

..portions, slivers, splinters..
Scattered just behind our thoughts..
Some so vividly perceived, recognized and classified
Some dispersed, broken so vague
But a handful completely wiped out,
Not a bit to grasp..
Entirely extinguished into thin air…

..moments so cherished then..
Could perish in a glance..
Nothing to relive..
Meaningless to ponder..
..all best left behind,
Shaken off and dismissed..

undoubtedly, there are certain memories
Worth to treasure,
Recall and reminisce...
But living on it and not letting go
At times could be so detrimental..
correspondingly as wanting to restore
pieces so long gone…

Yesterday has been so rewarding..
yet, it has become part of our past now..
for us to take note of,
.. appreciate and realize…

what matters now is how we dwell into the present
and treasure every second of it,
for as the time continues to tick..
all would then belong
to fragments of our yesterday…

Serendipity

..fate
...karma
..destiny
..providence
..coincidence
..accident
..kismet
..chance

We can call it in all names
…yet it boils down to one simple definition
..our luck, perhaps..

..i always believe that everything happens for a purpose…
…for a reason
..though it may be for a good cause
..or otherwise..

..everything was destined to be..
For us to take note of it..
..maybe no matter how many times the world reboots..
..whoever personality we become..
..we’ll always end up with the same person
..so designed to be with us..
Our match… our fate..

..i always question life’s impartiality
..why nothing goes in precision.. impeccably..
..why there are broken lives..
Lost souls..
But then,
I come to a settlement
..that entirety is how it was meant to be..

..what we want and what we desire
Sometimes get off the line..
..we just have to make the most out of it..

..we can always brew the best coffee
If we know exactly how we want it..
..how it should suit our taste..

..nothing is perfect..
Even if we measure the whole thing
..by teaspoon,
..by tablespoon,
..by cup,
..or by weight..
Still, some inconsistencies may arise..
..though it may not show..
..what matters most is
..how we respond on it
..how we would love the result..

..serendipity..
Fortune lead us where we are now..
And where we’ll be tomorrow..
ambiguities.. impediments may abound..
but this is how it was meant to be..
..we are where we should be..
..whom we should be..

It’s all a matter of working things out
Should complications surface..

..we were all built in pairs..
..seamlessly drawn for each other..
how to tightly keep the knot tied..
is what all of us should learn..
..not the untangling.. unleashing..
.nor the altering..

destiny lead us all through these…
..all paired in two’s become one..
.. let us not allow anyone
To ever despise this union..
..for this is our providence..
Our kisma…
Our serendipity..
And we can’t just simply deny it..

Life's Ricochet...

2009-09-26T04:42:00.000-07:00

Life’s Ricochet..

Enigma…
Conundrum..
Paradox..
These are the facets of living..
..mostly beyond our comprehension..

..there are so many statements.. so many reservations..
An unending dilemma.. an eternal uncertainty..
,,no one knows why..
..ultimately, this is how it is…

Love is a commandment…our foundation
Yet, it seems to entail a lot of bewilderment..
..Perplexity.. misperception
..mayhem.. and later chaos…

--FAÇADE 1--
..the forbidden love..
A so-called love that sprouted out of nowhere..
So unexpected.. so instantaneous..
Yet so magical and so real…
..would give anything, conquer everything..
Insensible of whoever is being afflicted, insulted and wounded
..what matters most is the unconditional love they say
..unscathed.. unabated..

--FAÇADE 2—
..the pure love..
..untainted.. solid..
..a love so absolute, unreserved..and unrestricted
Yet belittled, despised, betrayed and scorned
..feelings being neglected
..being set aside for something unbounded..
Left so clueless..stumped and confounded

..ricochet of life..
Never really understood..

Love is the greatest,
but never seem to be well-defined
issues on what should be…what should be not..
..still remains a confusion..

Love and life’s selfishness..
..So cruel..so biased.. unreasonable and prejudicial
Nonetheless, one continues to bear with it..
And endures whatever the consequences..

Two facets.. two grounds..
both may be justifiable.. both may be unquestionable..
however, anxiety still remains..
what should be right and what should linger..

..whatever the case,
Souls suffer..
Though it was never intended to be..

Obstacles.. barriers.. hurdles..
They will always be present..
A seamless life.. ideal vivacity..
There could never be one..
..If in one’s self, one always long for one..

..sometimes solution lies within one’s personal satisfaction
...contentment for what there is..
And not asking for anything else..
No questions.. no regrets..
..could fulfill one’s aspirations..

..yesterday has gone
..and tomorrow is yet to come..
it’s best if we live for today
And never rely on the past nor worry on the future..
..for the day has a lot in store for us
To get by with all dissatisfactions..
Which often leads to unwanted decisions..

--MASQUERADE--
..sometimes it feels that
Lucky are the distraught and mentally-ill
..for they have the perfect life they want to be with
And the illusion they bear with..
..no hindrances..no hesitations..

..well..guess we have to vie..
with life’s ricochet…
..for no one will never really know
How one should contend with it..
…Flawlessly.. impeccably..
Immaculately..
Moreso, without a glitch..

The Climb...

2009-06-06T18:59:00.000-07:00

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there’s a voice inside my head saying
“You’ll never reach it”

Every step I’m taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I’m not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

‘Cause there’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I’m gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb, yeah!

There’s always gonna be another mountain
I’m always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody’s gonna have to lose

Ain’t about how fast I get there
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It’s all about, it’s all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa
