He whose walk is blameless
       and who does what is righteous,
       who speaks the truth from his heart

  and has no slander on his tongue,
       who does his neighbor no wrong
       and casts no slur on his fellowman,

  who despises a vile man
       but honors those who fear the LORD,
       who keeps his oath
       even when it hurts,

  who lends his money without usury
       and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
       He who does these things
       will never be shaken.

an excerpt from BRIDA (by: PauLo Coelho)

in Life, each person can take one of two attitudes: to buiLd or to pLant.

the buiLders might take years over their tasks, but one day, they will finish what they are doing. then they find their hemmed-in by their own walls. life loses its meaning when the buiLding stops.

then there are those who pLant. they endure the storms and all the many vicisitudes of the seasons and they rarely rest. but unlike a buiLding, a garden never stops growing. and while it requires the gardener's constant attention, it allows life for the gardener to be a great adventure. gardeners always recognize one another, because they know that in the history of each pLant lies the growth of the whole world.

Sometimes we are not ready to see the wonder of God's wisdom and strength until we are grasping for breath in the exhaustion of our own strength...

A reccuring story in the BibLe is that mountains of faith rise from the valleys of failure. Before discovering the high ground we are looking for, we may need to see the failure of the dreams we held in our hearts and trust instead in the love, wisdom, and guidance of our God.

I AM IN LOVE...

with someone I do not know..

whose smile I haven't seen..

whose eyes I haven't stared at..

whose name I haven't spoken..

whose touch I haven't felt..

I am in Love with someone i haven't met..

But I am not afraid..

For I know in that perfect time,

that destined place,

I will be lead to that one person whose face I only dreamt of..

TRUE LOVE WAITS..

I'll wait 'till GOD says..

"Here is the one I have created JUST FOR YOU.."

I am a person who loves to hold the pen. Reading is my hobby and writing is my passion. My best friend is time for time is my life. I am a perfectionist though I know that nobody could hit the life of being perfect. I love to be loved and always happy to be appreciated. I am a person of thoughts but don’t know the word “expression”. I am a person trying hard to build a nice ego but don’t know the how’s.

I am a person. A human being created by Him. I am a daughter—a child pampered and raised by an unconditional love of my parents. I am a sister—a member of a family at home. I am a teen—seeking sense of belongingness from her peers. I am an individual—part and parcel of today’s population.

I am a social being. I am a friend—a person you can count on. I am a foe—to those who don’t gave me a chance to show myself then hate me instead. I am a stranger—one who’s seeking for new acquaintances in this strange world. I am a student. I am a diplomat—love to deal with ideal conversations. I am a singer who always wanted to sing melodies of life. I am a dancer who, even though doesn’t possess a soft body for movement, still striving hard to maintain posture. I am a writer. I am a poet. I am an adventurer. I am an actress—playing a unique and significant in a stage which we call Life.

I am strong and yet I am weak. I laugh and I weep. I am numb and yet I am sensitive. I am courageous. I am a coward. I am beautiful and ugly. I am happy and sad. I am humble. I am proud. I am industrious and lazy. I am good. I am also bad. I am an angel and yet I am a devil. I am intelligent but oftentimes, I am dull. I am courteous but I am not polite. I am kind, sometimes I am not. I have a good sense of humor but sometimes I feel that I don’t have. I am patient and impatient. I am introvert and an extrovert. I am kind-hearted though oftentimes I get selfish. I am obedient though I love to break the rules. I am rich and also a penniless. I am a princess and yet a nanny. I am fast and slow. I am thin and obese. I am an optimist. I am a pessimist. I am everything…

I hate promises but I love to swear. I hate confessions. I love my friends but I hate some of them. I hate liars. I fear the kinds… I hate people who make me wait. I hate plastics. I hate to fail. I hate to lose. I hate to take risks. I hate expectations. I hate sufferings. I hate to love. I hate insensitive people. I hate explaining myself. I hate pleasing others. I hate those things. But I love this thing called LIFE.

I am a person of my own little world living my life guided by my own set of rules and principles.

I am an individual in a crowd wanting to stand out and put herself on top. I am a dreamer. I am a daughter. I am a friend. I am a lover of life. I am me. I am you. And I am anybody else around.

I stumble and fall and yet I am someone who will do everything to lift herself up.

I am a loser. I am a failure. And in my own point of view, I am still a winner—a champion of my own life. I loved and have been loved. I died and have caused somebody’s death. I am happy and have caused someone’s happiness. I have been broken and also someone has been broken because of me. And sometime in my life I became a reason for someone’s existence. I am a cause. I am an effect. I am all these things.

I am everything. I am someone in your imagination. I am perfect though I am not. I am everything and yet I am nothing. But still I exist. I urge to exist…to taste the flavor of life…to feel and dive in the ocean of complex emotions…to build my own life and experience all the good and the bad. And maybe… just maybe… to be a part of this existing population and leave an excellent and remarkable difference..

I am all these things. I am me. But in reality…

I am nothing at all.
