THE PAUSE INBETWEEN RACES

a moment is all it takes for us to take the right step. life passes in a progression and regression pattern. it's an endless pursuit of a greener pasture (referring to one's character in this context). though there are times when we degrade, it does not necessarily mean the next is not an advancement.

we get lost in the midst of the race through life. we let opportunities pass. many times we forget to remind ourselves that this is what we have challenged ourselves to. our priorities are in a mess, time never seem to be on the right pace.

we pity ourselves saying life is bad.

maybe it's just the way we are, always forgetting to appreciate the downside of living. without landslides, who will ever appreciate the greatness of the big trees?

life is like running on a tread mill. you decide what you are training for and you dictate the speed and distance. there might be times when you have to stop running, it does not mean you will never get to run again. sometimes, when life forces you to stop,

it is probably because you need a rest.

BREAKING THE MOULD

be the man that forgives
or suffer in silence.

the good is never easy,
for the bad tempts.

THEY TALKED ABOUT WILD FLOWERS AND HERBS

we distinctively identified the issues raised. unanimously we agreed on the idea of mythological healing. we ascertained that some wonders in the world cannot be explained by science.

the sky lighting up in a luminous glow of green, the leaves turning red in autumn, the birds migrate to the south...

LITTLE BOY

the little boy silently prayed by his bedside
he asked for a little time... he wants to see the sunrise.

awkwardly he moved to the windows,
orange rays were lighting up the dark sky.

his eyes were teary, his heart weary.
but he smiled to a brand new day...

people always think, "why life isn't fair?"
but half the time, they are unaware.

if you were to trade something in your life
for something that was out of it,

will you really be happier?

WHEN YOU LOVE THAT GIRL SO MUCH

when you love a girl, you'll always overlook the many things that she did that go way beyond what you believe in. well, even when you feel like shit, you will still hold her hand (because you really want to) and walk with her on this journey.

now you know, it isn't love when you expect her to be someone you want her to be. certainly, you love her not because she's perfect.

she may be a riot but she's perfect, because you love her.

love doesn't require you to kill yourself or sacrifice any beliefs that you hold onto dearly. all you need is to open up your heart (and mind) and see who she really is, and love her completely for who she is.

may it be a pimple on her forehead or a habit to bite her nails everytime she's nervous.

you love her for everything that she is.

and that is..

love.
