Changes

-
There is a point that we need to change for the better and yet we are held back by our comfort zone.  Who Moves The Cheese is a book that speaks the same thing and I am so grateful to my cousin's hubby who gave it to me.  And I just thought about it when I was reminded by many instances that I have been dragged back by so many unchangeable circumstances in the light that moving forward is the option to take.
  Do not attach the changeable to the unchangeable. I have written a song that was in line with this statement as a home work in the song writing course I took in the past.  It was a song about a lost that was attached to many existing and haunting unchangeable things.  Milk is always milk.  A baby does not stay a baby.  A baby has to grow and needs to move forward and let go of the bottle.  A butterfly needs to leave the cocoon to spread the wings.  People may have thought that their cocoons are their comfort zones until they let go and find that it's much comfortable to stretch the wings.
 Fear may staple us because we got used to stuff.  But when we begin to ask where we go from here and the answer is vague, it's time to move forward.  Moving forward may need to leave what you have outgrown. Let go.   In order to get out of the circling motion, I got to seek the things that are moving forward.  But where should I go?  This is where I need to know what matters.  What matters is the true north for me but then I am being enveloped by many attachments in which some of them needed and some of them have been needing me for a while.  Some values coincide with time.  When the time lapses, take on to the next important things?  Where am I going?  The destination is important to what I should let go and what I should bring to the journey towards the next pace.  Who am I? That must be the answer to where I should go.  A family man.  A husband.  A dad.  God's servant.
These must be what are consistent all the way.  And my identity is attached to a mission.  If my mission is to buy a loaf of bread, I wouldn't go to a hardware store, would I?  My identity which is how God created me and how God sees me should tell me where I am going.   Always to seek the things that are moving forward to grow. Value the goodness of the past and carry it as you move along and live the bad remnants behind.  Do not let the bad remnants drag you back. What is certain is the sure ball.  Sometimes we bet too much on uncertain things which is a waste of time.
The chance may be thin but hope makes it more probable. There is power in prayer.  It works.

Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti

-
This morning, I craved for a Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti. And so I told Claire that I was gonna go to the Asian Store in Cashel to buy that Del Monte Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti sauce. She told me that she wanted to come along so she would see what else she could buy in the store. Then JC has to come along with us. . There is one store that might become popular soon for the pinoys in Lincoln called Filipino Mart. However, since I was in hurry to cook and to satisfy my craving, we settled to visit the nearer store. And so we shopped and shopped in the popular Asian Store in Cashel. Along with the sauce and spaghetti, I prepared grinded meat, Kransky (substitute for the Purefoods hotdog which we do not have here), onions, green pepper, carrots, and garlic. And so I cooked. I was sure I could never go wrong as long as I have the Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce. It was almost like I thought that I could do with more or less ingredients and still I could come up with del

STAGE DIRECTOR

-
I am fascinated when I get to watch shows like X-factor and the Voice where the professionals get to guide the talent. The way the relationship goes well between the talent and the mentor is when the talent gives complete trust with the mentor and just accepts that the mentor has a better view of how the talent can emanate the stuff effectively and well. It’s just like a director who has the best view on what’s going on outside the stage. I remember there was this hip guy who was part of the cast in the stage play. During the rehearsal the director directed him to exaggerate his movement. But the guy being cool but a newbie thought that the movement is awkward and not cool. And so he did not follow the director’s direction when the rest of the cast exaggerated their movements during the performance. During the performance it turned out that the audience viewed that the cool guy was awkward on stage and the rest of the cast were outstanding. What is deemed awkward in real life is normal

UST Class 5 CE

-
What is good about having a Facebook Account is that you get the probability to touch base with your long lost classmates. It all started when a certain guy which I did not recognize in his profile picture by the name of Alex commenting “ If I am not mistaken, you were UST Batch (Bleep) 5 CE. Right?” And then he produced a class picture which included me 60 pounds ago. “O yeah, he is Alex from Class 5 CE. And then a few days after, several of my classmates from 5 CE sprouted and asking to add them in my Facebook Contact List. Amazing! It’s like I feel young again. There is also a feeling that you want to catch up with them and see how they are after all the decades. Ooops! Years. What do you know? Most of us haven’t been in touch after graduation and after the Besavilla Crash Course for CE Board Exam.
