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.....
