WHY RED?

                        

I found myself listening eagerly to Fr. Acuesta's homily during the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Chapel where I spent the most of my youth as organist. I was sitting beside my mother who, I know, has offered a lot of prayers for me and our family through this devotion. It felt like heaven to be home once in a while. I was recharged not only because I was wearing a red shirt but because of my reunion with Jesus' most Sacred Heart..

It's been a while. I already did had a change of heart because of some unpleasant experiences and I haven't found any pawnshop where I could pawn all the pains inside. But today, in just one click I was renewed. What I really needed was time to contemplate. The earthquake this morning during the mass added to my willingness to offer everything and for me, it was not pure coincidence!                                    

and why RED?
from our wedding motif..

 to my favorite shirt..

to my favorite watch..
 


















and even deep inside my HEART, it will FOREVER be RED.. LOVE is the most powerful emotion in this universe. Likewise, the color RED is also powerful and stunning. RED equals LOVE.

RED reminds me of that kind of person I want to be.. strong - willed and persevering against all odds.

I find it hard to explain but I feel pretty, comfortable, powerful, and lucky in RED! Let it be. However, whenever, and whatever, I just simply love RED..

iMPRiSONED...

Truth versus Fantasy..

Reality versus Make-Believe..

Plans versus Dreams..

Mind versus Heart..
it should always be Mind over
the Heart!
- choosing to do what is right..
- filling the heart with good memories..
- counting the stars..
- gazing from afar..
- praying for strength..
- seeking God's guidance..
- keeping the hands busy..
- making the most of each day that passed..
- looking at the brighter side..
- seeking for inner peace..

and, believing in Happy Endings..
Alone. Imprisoned. And yet hopeful.....

FLYiNG HiGH...

FLY WiTH ME!

We will only be as happy and as content as we allow ourselves to be. Daring to go beyond our usual capacity needs a lot of determination. The will to pursue our goals must be strong enough to push us towards the maximum limit.

Never in my dreams that I have longed to experience zipline for I had already said NO to ferris wheels since I was a kid. I couldn't remember clearly how I felt before I agreed to fly but it was like an impulse which I haven't got a single chance to change my mind. The only thing I did was I followed my heart. I have to dare myself! With the assurance that I'd reach the other end of the cable alive, unless if a lightning strikes me, I cried and smiled at the same time.

For the first time, I shouted those exact words which I wanted the world to hear from the bottom of my heart.

whew, 840 meters! I wanna do it again, hahaha.. My senses changed gear. My knees trembled. My throat ached. It was heavenly and I less care if the trees have ears. I still believe they won't tell anyone my secret.

I did it! I enjoyed the flight and I was so proud of myself.

Getting out of the Way...

I’m getting out of my way.

Not going to hold myself back.

Not going to blame someone else

for the things that I lack.

I’m getting out of my way.

There’s a lot I want to do.

I’ll never get it all done

if I just whine about you.

I’m getting out of my way.

I’m letting go of the pain.

Gonna face down my fears,

not sit around and complain.

I’m getting out of my way.

Not going to settle for less.

Instead of telling me no,

I’m going to start saying yes.

I’m going to see my own worth.

I’m going to start with today.

I’m going to be my best friend.

I’m getting out of my way.

TRUE LOVE...

I do believe that God above

created you for me to love

He chose you out from the rest

because He knew I'll love you best.

I have a heart and it is true

but now its gone from me to you.

So care for it as I have done

for you have two and I have none.

When I go to heaven and you're not there

I'll wait for you at the golden stair.

But if you're not there on judgment day

I'll know you went the other way.

So I'll return my angel wings,

my golden lamp and everything.

To prove to you my love is true

I'll go to hell just to be with you!
