Life-changing events don’t have to come with a big bang.  Sometimes when good things come from that, I find it quite artificial and end up waiting for the time when that beautiful facade ends.  I still believe in the resilience of a change that has permeated from a place of light.  That light is within us all, and it can bring you permanent peace, happiness, joy, love and other good things.  It’s just that, more often than not, it can’t be forced.

Just something to think about on another long weekend.  God bless

Freaky, right?  Apparently it’s a normal occurence.  But what would we do when something big finally hits the earth, like, Deep Impact-esque big?  Well, to my relief I read about the Deep Impact NASA project that was successfully done 5 years ago - http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2005/28jun_deepimpact/

… And the first experiment to the planetary protection  was a success.  That will make me sleep better at night

Yey me!!!  I know!  If there’s such a thing as a road geek that’s SO me lol

For me, that someday has been everyday of the past year and one month.  I’m really glad that I didn’t settle for anything, or anyone less than that perfect fit.  Actually, being a perfect fit puts too much pressure, and this relationship has never been that difficult.  Which teaches me another thing, that when it comes to the right person, everything should become easy.  In effect, the perfect fit becomes the easy fit.

Well, to think that this special thing progressed only when I decided not to actively look for love.  Indeed, looking for love is the antithesis of finding love.  Our desire to fill that void negates the very state of completeness that we are trying to attract.  I know, it’s a conundrum.

That’s the secret to a happy life, I guess.  In most aspects, I too am still trying to learn it.  To feel the feelings of achieving what we want to have, and just let go of the chase, that takes a lot of muscle memory.  For most of us, that is against our nature.  So we chase after our dreams and end up riding that unending wheel of discontent.

Learning to exist in the present, and feeling the emotions of being complete, as if our dreams have already been fulfilled, is the sure way to attract and achieve those dreams.  The universe itself will move things and circumstances into our favor.

I took this photo at Lago de Oro last summer while me and my friends lounged around and had dinner on a bamboo raft during sunset.  What a sactuary it was…

May everyone have a restful weekend ahead

The new iPod nano!!!  Actually all the new iPods came out today, but I’m drawn to this

LOVE it

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. - Buddha

Just something to think about before turning in for the night.  We become what we focus on.

May everyone think happy thoughts

So true, and I can’t do anything right now but to yearn for my bed.  I really, really need to sleep, because I almost didn’t have a wink of it last night.  I was tossing and turning, and flipping like crazy until morning came.  Finally I was granted some, but only about over an hour, before I had to finally end my very long weekend.

I’m supposed to be fresh from vacation today, but sadly am not

The picture was from 2008 at Sagada, when I was still in the process of getting back up and regaining my slice of success.

It’s not about the past, it’s not about the journey; it’s about NOW. It’s about what you do with what you have, about being at peace with yourself, about giving everything you’ve got to get where you want to be. That’s what I call success. - Leonard Frincu

Just wanted to post this motivator quote to jump start everyone’s week

This photo of my friends I took the afternoon after at Sagada, when after conquering the Cave Connection I started to figure out my (new) place on this earth

Tomorrow we hit the ground running.  Have a great week ahead everyone!!!

I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind. - Albert Einstein

For a few days now, I have been living the quiet life.  I thank God for giving me the opportunities to live in the glory of His silent embrace.

I pray everyone has a great week ahead
