Kung Fu Panda...
After going up the mountians of Guadalupe earlier that Sunday morning, we went to church to hear mass and go with the procession. We went to Ayala after and had dinner there. We ordered our favorite Chicken Lauriat from Chow King. We had pineapple juice for our drinks and I ordered fried dumplings and an extra rice. We were so hungry that evening. After eating few of our friends arrived. We chit-chatted fro a while then bud goodbyes and went on our each other ways. We went to see a movie. It was Kung Fu Panda. We had a nice time laughing and enjoying the movie. We were holding hands and hugging each other. We give each other a comforting hug. I kissed him softly, too. Letting him alwasy know that I will be always at his side. "Through thick and thin alright?", Dub Dub said. I told him, "Together. Walang iwanan sa eri!" Then, we smiled.
Up The Mountains Again...
Dub Dub and I decided to have a night out with our friends last Saturday. We were so excited to see them again. Unfortunately we did not make it that night. Dub Dub and I were so tired the past three nights buying flowers and decorating them on the St. Anthony of Padua's Chapel near his uncle's home. It is a very antique image handed over form generation to generation.
Anyway, we didn't make it that night but we made it early dawn where most of our friends were already heading home. We met them at around 4 o'clock.
At around 6 o'clock, everybody decided to go home. Dub Dub and I went to Guadalupe to eat puto maya and sikwate. We also had eggs. It was our breakfast. Typically a Filipino breakfast. I used to eat those when my grand mum was still alive. I've missed the taste of those food.
After eating, Dub Dub wanted to show me a cave up the mountains. It was the cave where a certain villager found the image of the Our Lady of Guadalupe several years ago. They call it the "La Cueva La Nuestra SeƱora de Guadalupe" or The Cave of the Our Lady Of Guadalupe.
After there, Dub Dub took up the mountains of Guadalupe again. It was a different view form where we previously been. It was breath-taking. I mean the sight that you see below plus the climb uphill. Hahahaha! I'll take pictures soon. We'll climb up again. We were having fun. Identifying trees and grasses on the way up. Teasing each other and whispering sweet "I love you's".
We hiked up the mountain and into the forest. It was nice. Big tall trees everywhere. We kissed and we swore and vowed to be loyal to each other. Some sort of a simple short marriage. We were both happy.
We passed by Beverly Hills, where the rich and famous "used to" live. We saw beautiful houses. There were nice beautiful bonsai trees. We'll take pictures soon. We'll go back there next week.
After there, we hiked down. But, it did not end there. We went to the Taoist Temple. Where all Asian religion meet. It was the first time that I went there. It was nice that it was Dub Dub who took me there.
I saw Lutos flowers. They're so beautiful. They're pink and glorious. The waterlily's were pure. They were white and subtle.
At around 10 o'clock, we go home. We marched down the hill. Found an empty cab and head home. We dozed off for a little while hugging each other.

Real Boys, Kiss Boys
Real boys, kiss boys. Apollo and Hyacinthus. Achilles and Patrokulos. Alexander, the Great and Hephaestion. They were good friends and they were lovers, too. They loved each other so much. Apollo lamented so much when Hyacinthus died. Achilles killed Paris as a revenge for what Paris did to Patrokulos. Why would people try to illegalize something that is so beautiful.

A Valentine's Day to Remember
More than a year ago, I was with someone I cared for. I was almost in the brink of giving my all to him, giving all of me. I always had a haunch that this guy was cheating on me so I started to back off and then I fell out of love for him. He wasn't the one I am willing to give my whole heart to.
14.February.2007
I believe trust is more important than monogamy. Once broken, you can no longer put it back. Just like Humpty-Dumpty. Stupid of him to sat on the wall and fall. And so stupid of me to have written this. However, if you can put it back, it may never be the same thing again. The truth hurts. It's powerful. It's like a sharp knife. It may be used to crave images and inspire others but can also inflict so much pain. Things honestly said won't hurt that much. One must face the truth, for truth set things in their proper order. Trust! A difficult thing to fix. And if you can't fix it, just step on it.

The Law of the Garbage Truck (adopted)
How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? Unless you're the Terminator, for an instant you're probably set back on your heels. However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly he/she can get back her focus on what's important.
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here's what happened.
I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches!
The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'
And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally.
You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
You'll be happy you did.
So this was it: The 'Law of the Garbage Truck.' I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, 'I'm not going to do it anymore.' I began to see garbage trucks. I see the load they're carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my Taxi Driver, I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.
One of my favorite football players of all time, Walter Payton, did this every day on the football field. He would jump up as quickly as he hit the ground after being tackled. He never dwelled on a hit. Payton was ready to make the next play his best.
Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses.
Teachers and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at their best for the people they care about.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day.
What about you?
What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by?
Here's my bet. You'll be happier.
So, love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance , TAKE IT! If it changes your life , LET IT! Nobody said it would be easy. They just promised it would be worth it!

Solitude, Soulmate, Chance or Choice?
When you meet someone you're attracted to, that's not a choice.That's CHANCE.
Being caught up in a moment (and there's a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice. That's also a CHANCE.
The difference is what happens afterward. When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level? That'swhen all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling.
If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that's not a chance. That's CHOICE.
When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that's CHOICE.
Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that's CHOICE.
Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by CHANCE. But true love that lasts is truly a CHOICE. A choice that we make.
Regarding soulmates, there's a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this : "Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen."
I do believe that soulmates do exist. That there is truly someone made for you. But it's still up to you to make the choice if you're going to do something about it or not.
We may meet our soulmates by chance, but loving and staying with our soulmate or our partner is still a choice that we have to make.
Together The Whole Day
