SLEEPLESS NIGHT

Sleepless night once again. I just couldn’t force myself to go back to sleep. I don’t know. Maybe because I am going to meet my all time best friend from the Philippines in Shanghai today, or maybe because it’s my first time to go there, too. I am like a little child so excited about something promised to be brought to somewhere or to be given something for a job well done.

Another thing, we haven’t meet for like 3 years now. So, it’s quite a long time. We’ve got lots of stories to exchange and another sleepless nights pretty sure. Hahahahaha. Looking forward to know all those stories about life back home. Well, I gotta go people, got to prepare myself for the trip. See you and take care. Have a great time...

IT IS BETTER...

What is fame to you? Does it give meaning to you? Does this drive you crazy as what often people do? Do you also crave for this? Why do we always desire this? Why do we always try to accelerate ourselves and think that we’re better than others if we have this? Why do we have to be famous? What do you want to famous for? Are you one of them?

As we scan about what is happening around, indeed, there are many who are famous because of what they achieve, what they have and possess. Is it thier fault why they became as such? Of course not! They deserve it. But others are only second rate trying hard fellas who accelerate by putting others down. This is the contrary which is inhumane and barbarous. They are not gratified with what they can only have. So they do things even against human rights just to have the so-called, fame and success.

To tell you honestly, “It's better to be known by six people for something you're proud of than to be known by sixty million for something you're not.”(Albert Brooks). What is this fame for if you are not worthy of it. It’s not lasting and we couldn’t even bring it after we leave this journey here on earth. So why aim to be the most famous? As long as you’re doing your best shot in everything you do according to your state of life, that’s the real essence of it. Just do your best and SOMEONE will take care of the rest.

THOUGHTS TO PONDER

Why do people always try to possess all the luck in this world? They’re not satisfied of what is justly imparted to them. They still want to acquire what luck others own. What a self-centered fellas! We can’t deny the fact that they’re around us. It somehow pushes others to think less of themselves and be driven like a cattle. They are impoverished by these big people. They forgot to prove themselves for they are not given a little piece of chance and be heroes in the strife.

"Frankly people, no matter where you're from, no matter who people think you are, you can be whatever you want, but you gotta start right now!"

Ponder on this and live it up. Cease not in believing in your capacity. Noone is gonna care about you if you yourself is not doing the same way. Always remember, we have the right to be here in this world, we all have a purpose. Don’t put yourself down. No matter where you’re from, you can achieve you dreams. No matter what people think you are, as long as you know you are veraciously living your life, success is in your palm. Stand up and right what is wrong. You gotta start right now. Heads up and move forward. You have to tell the whole world what they ought to know and demonstrate courage and perseverance till the end. Remember, we have to live life to its fullness. Stand, go and be free to spread your wings and fly as high as you can, always remember that...

08-08-08

It happens once in a blue moon, twelve times in a century. So we are so lucky when it happens. We should mark our calendar for this. Only few people experience this moment. Well, what makes it special, anyway?

For the world, it is important for there was an international event on this day where majority of the nations participated. And for China, it is even more important for it hosted the said event, the Olympic games, where they got almost all the golds and eventually lead them to get the highest achievement in the event. They were the champions. So, does the date matters? Does it give meaning to them? For them, eight (8) is a lucky number. So does it explain?

Anyway, where were you on this very day? Could you still remember? As for me, it was kinda special and a mix feelings. I was so excited for I was going home for the first time on this day. I was in two countries during this moment. Kinda peculiar, right? But it was. My flight to the Philippines was 9:15 in the evening on this day and we arrived in the Philippine airport at around 12 midnight or more. I am not so sure of the exact time for what I was feeling was excitement and exhilaration. Though we didn’t land yet, but i am sure that we were already in the border of the Philippines before it turns 12 midnight.

So, what is your 08-08-08 story? Is this date significant for you?

Xmas 2008

Hey people! What’s up? It’s is but the holiday season. The most awaited time of the year for almost all people especially in the west. Happy holidays everyone!!! I wish all of us the best the season could possibly bring.

How was your Christmas people? Was it great? I hope so. As to mine, here in China, as usual, as Chinese people don’t celebrate this holiday. It’s getting popular, though. I had to give classes on that very day. But it was a grand celebration. A lot better than my first Christmas experience here. I really felt the real essence of the holiday. I enjoyed a lot. Another thing, I treated my adult students to dinner on Christmas eve, to somehow feel the essence of it. We went to a buffet restaurant. T’was a great surprise because a lot of people standing outside the restaurant. Good thing I booked the table for about 14 people the day before. It was a great idea. Then we went to ktv. Afterwards to Hilton hotel(bar). We finally went to a hotpot restaurant. Ended it up at around a quarter to 3 am. When I went home, at my doorstep, I was shocked, only to find out, I've lost my keys... I didn't know what to do at that fucking cold dawn. I went back to Hilton and asked the waitress who were cleaning the bar. They saw nothing. I went to the hotpot restaurant, and again I found nothing. Got no choice except to stay in a hotel... I went to a hotel, a cheap one. As I entered, everyone was sleeping (receptionists)... I tried waking them up, yet they sleep soundly that cold moment.

As I looked at the clock, it was like 4:30am. So, it's not also wise to pay 168 Yuan for 2 to 3 hours co'z I've got a class at 1pm. So I went back to Hilton and stayed at the lobby... That's how I spent the rest of the time. At 6am, I phoned our HR telling her about it. Then she said to come to the main office at 8 to get the duplicate. What a x'mas experience!!!... And again, I was hoping I could sleep for like 3 hours before my classes, there I met my boss, then we had a long chat. It ended up around 11:30. So no choice, I have to prepare myself for my class. After my classes, kindergarten one, I met some colleagues, foreign teachers from other branches then we had a short time talking for I have to leave them again, I have another class at 6pm. I told them I would come to the buffet restaurant after my class. Haaahahhaaa... But to tell you, we went to our boss's dinner party for x'mas is his birthday at the same time. All of us, including some Filipinos and a Chinese who are not bluniverse's.


Then, they were saying to go to Soho bar at Hilton again. I mean for me again, but for them it's not. I've got no choice... Imagine myself then that time, no sleep for 48 hours straight... Hahahahaaa.... What a x'mas!!! The next day, still have to do some classes... What a life...

That was my 2008 x'mas story. You, what is yours?

Here I am again

It’s been quite a long time I haven’t visited my account. Though I really tried to for several times, but time didn’t allow me to. I kinda miss doing my inspiration. Many of my friends were asking me about it why I wasn’t able to upgrade and post new ones. It somehow proves they are really following my blog. Thanks for that friends. You inspire me the most.

Things were getting complicated several months ago. Unexpected circumstances occurred without knowing them. I was bombarded with so many unavoidable situations which deliberately made my mind to wander around and confused. I was so busy to cope up with the fleeting time, hoping to bring out the things to its proper perspective.

Though I am not yet so stable with my present situation, I am going to see to it that I could continue doing it. I am going to try my best to allot sometime for my blog. I already miss half of my life for not doing my inspiration and wasn’t able to update the happenings of my life. I have a lot to tell this time but I am afraid I might not be able to let you know all about them. I am out of time. But I will try to do it slowly this time. Thanks for the inspiration, everyone, for being there all the time and for waiting for my next posts. Highly appreciated! Thank you so much! Have a good time everyone and be the best of what you are, all the time...

…Thanks to GOD

One day, I was kinda gloomy because of what had happened to my sister back in the Philippines (she was robbed in Manila). I was really feeling so down. I didn’t understand myself. I didn’t know what to do. My mind was totally blank that time. I went to the office with no direction what to do. I just sat down in front of my computer waiting for a message from them. Just at that moment, I received this message from a friend. It really struck me the most, especially with the situation. I was really happy to receive it. The message goes this way….


Hello God,
I called this morning to talk a little while,
I need a friend who’ll listen to my anxiety and trial.
You see, I can’t quite make it through a day just making it in my own…

I need Your love to guide me, so I’ll never feel alone.
I want to ask You to please keep my family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence for whatever fate they’re bound.
Give me faith, Dear God, to face each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things I can’t change in any way.

I thank You, God, for being home and listening to my call,
For giving me such good advice when I stumble and fall.
Your number, oh God, is the only one that answers everytime.
I never get a busy signal, never had to pay a dime.
So thank You, God, for listening to my troubles and my sorrow.
Good morning, God, I love You too, and I’ll call again tomorrow!


Such a wonderful message. I was relieved that time. I felt enlightened and so light. All my worries were gone and were replaced by hope and faith. Thanks to my friend who forwarded the message. So if you feel down, just remember this message and meditate on it. Have a good time everyone!
