Raffy of Palawan Philippines 

Let me tell you something about Raffy. 

He is our driver in KL who drove us all the way to Melaka, Malaysia. 

Raffy is born in Palawan, Philippines who’s been living in KL for the past 13 years. He is 28 years old and works for Sam, his girlfriend’s dad.

At age 15 after graduating highschool, he took the courage to take cargo ships to sail him away from the Philippines to Malaysia. Just because he wanted to be away and be on his own. With only 2 Ringgit in his pocket. 🙄🤔😵😵😵😵

I know a bit crazy! 

He stayed at other people’s hostels for awhile(i don’t have an idea how) and started working as a promoter in malls. 

After living in the country for a long time, he doesn’t wanna go back to the Philippines. Invested in properties and relationships which makes a very inspiring story for me.

Southpaw

watching southpaw during a plane ride

This is the first time I’m gonna write about a movie. I watched the movie SOUTHPAW where Jake Gyllenhal plays as a World boxing Champion who found himself in a messed up situation when his wife died in an accident and lost everything from his property, career, friends and family.

I highly recommend watching this movie as it tells us that not all successes are permanent when it is driven by our emotions or aggressiveness. True success comes when it is done with the heart and for the purpose of redemption.
We sometimes fail and often times as they say, when it rains it pours. If we let all those darkness, failure, hopelessness and emptiness control our lives. We become a mess, we get lost, we forget about all the other things that actually matters. The people who care for us, our family and friends, their support and love, our inner peace, our calmness, our true purpose. we hurt ourselves and we hurt the people around us. Change must be done when life gives us a second chance to do things right.

Great story, I cried at some parts of the movie because it reminded me of the times when I was feeling down and felt like I am of no value. Knowing and finding yourself first, everything else follows. Once you have yourself together, you are free to accept every challenge that life gives you. I wouldn’t like to use the word revenge, but rather self-redemption. A new revelation will appear right in front of you and a new hope will be given for all your dreams.

The Good Good!

What most people don’t realize about me is that they can talk to me about almost anything. Hit me up with the most striking question then I will give you an honest heartfelt answer. That is how you break the walls. Tell me how you live your life and I will inspire you how I live mine. Talk to me about your despair and I will give you words of wisdom.

How you leave a mark on somebody else’s life is by giving meaningful conversations. Opening your soul and knowing theirs.

Communication is something we often neglect because we refuse to explain things and be understood, yet we complain that we were misunderstood.

If somebody care enough to know, it’s because you are special, so take time. Because not everyone will care with what’s inside your soul.

Take time to listen and learn from people who are very passionate.

That every word they utter is filled with love and emotions. Every move they make does not only mean action, but a move towards something deeper. When you look in their eyes you see hope and dreams of what they desire the most.
Live life passionately…

It is not as stressful as you thought it is. This material world maybe is consuming you.

Make everyday meaningful..

Because one soulful day could reflect in your life forever. One word could move and change someone. One act of goodness and appreciation could make somebody else’s day. Acknowledge what needs to be done and undone.
Shout hoorah! From the top of your lungs.

And Strengthen your whole being.
A Good strong heart resonates a Good life lived.

One day at Club Tara 

  
My mind is flying away

As i take the boat to Siargao

i see the clouds creatively forming in front of me

Three little elephants playing soccer, chasing for a ball

A lady laying on the beds of water through the mountain lands
Club tara located two hours from the pier

Nipa huts locatd at the bay

No network signal, power is out

Generator broke down

I got nothing to do but to embrace the silence

Stare at the skies

Listen to the music that the other geusts play on their guitar

After four months, finally I am calm
Mindful paranoia slowly slipping away

I hear the sounds of the ocean waves 

Fireflies crackling while having my favorite cup of tea 

An atmosphere

Serene

Rhymed perfectly

Dekada

Apo Hiking Society. To all those who love this 80’s Pinoy band might also love the ambiance and dishes that DEKADA offers. 

The Filipino restaurant is just one of the chains of the then matinee idol Marvin Agustin. The Quaint and inviting interior of the restaurant might give you a hint of what to expect from their dishes. 

I personally love their Beef Caldereta and Sinigang and of course the bottomless Iced Tea and Calamansi Juice. 

   
 

The Little Prince

The Little Prince- a book I have read more than ten years ago; brings me back to memories when I was young and how experiences have changed our life’s perspective. Reading this book again as an adult gives me a different interpretation about the metaphors of life.

“it is only withthe heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” – little prince

This book is truly timeless.

Letter for Juan Tamad

I wanna write to you!

Yes you-Juan Tamad, Ikaw na palaging nakababad sa computer at walang ginawa kundi mag update ng status, manuod ng videos or maglaro ng clash of clans sa cellphone. Hindi ko alam kung saan ka ipinaglihi dahil yung puno na hinihintayan mong magbagsak ng bunga sa bunganga mo ay ilang beses na naglaglag ng bunga. Kung sampung dekada ka hihilata sa ilalim ng puno ay malamang naka ilang bukol ka nadin sa ulo.

Hindi ko din alam kung san ka nakakuha ng pambili ng cellphone, damit or pang-yosi, wala ka namang trabaho, malamang ay galing yan sa pinaglumaan at barya-barya ng mga kapatid at tatay mo. Hindi ko alam kung balak mo ba maging basurero or taga linis ng poso negro. Actually, Maiigi pa sila ginugustong kumita ng pera. Ikaw, mas gugustuhing humilata at maghintay ng grasya sa iyong kapatid o nanay na nagtatrabaho.

Bata palang ako pinaguusapan ka na sa eskwelahan, hindi ka ba naaapektuhan sa iyong paligid na ang tingin nila sa iyo ay walang kwenta at palamunin? Bata palang ako noon, Bente Sais na ako ngayon. Ngayon nakakabili nako ng sarili kong mga gamit. Ikaw? lahat bigay padin at lahat asa padin sa mga magulang? Aba! gusto ko sanang sabihin na hindi pa huli ang lahat pero wag mo naman hintayin na maging huling pagkakataon na yan at ubos na pasensya ng mga tao na tumutulong sa iyo.

Hindi ko nga alam kung pano ka nakakatulog na alam mong sa edad mong yan eh pabigat ka padin. Pilit kang tinutulungan ng mga tao sa paligid mo pero ang sarili mo ay hindi mo magawang tulungan. Para bang pag sumunod ka eh para pa sa ikabubuti nila at naghihintay ka pa ng kapalit.

Kung yayaman ka lang sana sa magharap sa computer, sana bilyonaryo kana. Kung masipag ka lang magtrabaho gaya ng kasipagan mo sa pag meet ng ka-grinder or ka-tinder mo. Siguro may sarili ka ng kumpanya. Lalab life ka pa wala ka na nga sariling pang-kain! akalain mo yun!

Alam mo naman na kaya mo eh.

Pero bakit wala kang pangarap? Dahil ba nakakakain ka padin at may maayos na tirahan kahit na hindi ka nagtatrabaho? Ang swerte mo naman… mas maswerte ka pa sa prinsipe ng Brunei. Kung lahat ng tao kagaya mo eh di sana maging Tamad nalang tayong lahat! Pero sana magbago kana, kasi pag nawala lahat ng tao sa paligid mo wala ka ng magagawa kundi magsikap para sa sarili mo. Kaya simulan mo na ngayon, kesa, lalo kang maghirap at wala ng tutulong sayo.
