Misunderstandings and Acceptance

Once in a while, I go to facebook and check my friends' status for the reason I just want to be updated on their where- and what-abouts (I am not sure if it's a word really but I know you know what I mean).


Misunderstandings

And more often than not, I come across Negative status, or comments, usually referring to someone who had allegedly have done wrong or have said something malicious, or even have acted against the norm of the person posting the comment or status. I admit, I sometimes do this as well out of frustrations from people around me who do not understand situations and explanations or on the other hand are short in explaining themselves.


Acceptance

As I come to reflect of this matter, I just realized and been reminded of the words “INDIVIDUALITY” and “UNIQUENESS”.
If everyone just cares to accept and understand the unique individuality that every human being has and is entitled to, probably it’s easier to accept situations, comprehend explanations, and grasp everybody’s rationale and action.
It is easier said than done, of course! But if we try, probably it will be easier to do as well specifically if we had experienced and come to realize about its good fruit – everyone’s getting along despite differences.


Human Existence

I am a human, and the first thing that shall come to my mind is act like a real human and not like an animal; easy to be provoked, yet slow to understand.
But sometimes animals are more understanding than human.

God is Everywhere

I was supposed to write this entry last night but due to bad internet connection, ngayon ko pa lang ito maisusulat.

It was about my very spiritual experience last night (Sunday) at LRT. Yes, sa LRT. Not a lot have spiritual experience in this place ha?

I was seating inside the train when a man, obviously poor, carrying his probably daughter around 2-3 years of age, sat opposite me. He was very simple thus, I will call him Simple Father. Seating next to him is a guy, who is obviously rich as he was wearing signature clothes and apparel. I will call him Mr. Lacoste (as he was wearing a lacoste shoes).

While in the duration of our ride in the train, Mr. Lacoste began to talk to Simple Father. I was wearing my headset and listening to my favorite Adele and Rihanna's songs, so I really did not heard what the conversation was. But from the gestures, Mr. Lacoste started the conversation noticing and probably asking questions about the baby girl Simple Father is carrying.

Before the UN avenue station, where Mr. Lacoste and his son would alight, Mr. Lacoste gave PHP*** to Simple Father. Seeing the nice gestures of Mr. Lacoste, I was not able to hold myself and was touched. Mr. Lacoste gave Simple Father money which I believed SF really needed. It was given in a very simple way that nobody noticed (ako lang kasi tsismoso ata ako ehehe)... But I am thankful to have witnessed such a charitable act.

Upon seeing the action, I was reminded of one of my goals in life: To help people be Happy in any way I can. Mr. Lacoste has the ability and I believe the heart to do such act. In that sense, I have uttered to myself, "GOD IS INDEED EVERYWHERE". He uses people to be blessings to people. And with that May I be used for the same purpose.

Forgotten 2012, Beginning 2013

2012 was really a very busy year indeed as I was not even able to write even a single entry in this blog. But 2012 is a year I will never forget, a year that gave me much challenges, much  difficulties, yet much strength... I met people I never thought I would be meeting... I have dined in beautiful restaurants for free... I have realized my dreams are yet unfolding...

Beginning 2013 is a much and more challenging year... I may not open up much now but I hope to in the next entries...

2013: I wanted to really see the world with my parents and brothers and sisters... I wanted to explore life, I wanted to live life to the fullest, and of course I wanted to make other people happy and feel loved... This is what I am praying for to our Heavenly Father...

I am not a perfect son; I am even far from being perfect... But I am struggling to be one...

I hope that Heavenly Father, will still give me the time and the energy to do everything I needed to do... I know time is too short.

Marami sa atin, minsan saka na lang ginagawa ang mga bagay na gustong gawin kapag nahaharap na sila sa kakulangan na ng oras. Isa ako sa mga iyon. I never thought I will face such threat in my time. But I am facing it courageously...
