Serendipity and Prince/cess charming

-
Don't ask me if we're destined to meet
because I know nothing of destiny.
Series of events, both bad and good,
have occurred in my life for the past few years
but when we met, I felt serendipity.

How is it that I got a feeling that I've known you
all my life when I had just met you few months ago?
Why is it that I felt comfort and at ease when I was with you?

I don't believe in prince charming.
I never did growing up.
Maybe because I was/am an ugly duckling and
never thought any guy would like me.
Sure I fantasized about guys but they were all celebrities.

We human beings are complex
yet beautiful all at the same time.
There is no one perfect person.
In fact, the one perfect person that
you thought you found, you'll realize
that he/she is imperfect.
(sometimes in many ways)

The whole idea of being in a relationship is
understanding the imperfection of one another,
accepting it, and compromising. This doesn't mean
that there won't be change
because there will be change.
Change is good. It'll be tough and
sometimes you'll want to give up.

Being together doesn't have to be perfect all the time
because in the end, we are two individual people who
have different ways of thinking due to different upbringing.

Sometimes...it's not about the destination, it's about the journey.

Greetings to all. This weekend went by quicker than I had imagined. Let's see..what did I do?? Saturday was a walk in the park...literally. haha I was home till 2 or 3pm. Then I thought to myself, "Dang, I need to walk or exercise rather than sit my lazy butt here in my room." SO I did. Last time I went out for a walk, I went in a direction opposite of where I would go (towards the bus stop). I found a soccer field with a cafe. Yes there was a game going on so I stayed there for a while under the scorching sun. I believe they were high school kids playing cuz the audience were old (parents, grandparents, uncles, etc.). After 5 to 10 minute of getting excited for the soccer match, I left home. (oh the field was 5 min away from my apartment) However, yesterday I walked for about an hour. I went the same direction as last time to find out that there was another game going on. Since it wasn't so hot, I stayed till the end. No one won..it was a tie..1-1. After the game, ...

Dreams

We all have them. and most of the time, we want it to come true. we want it to become real. But how can we if we don't do anything about it? To be realistic, the term we should really focus on is GOALS. The terms dream and goal intertwine with each other or sometimes used separately depending on the context. Goals are achievable. Goals help us to think realistically. Goals are dreams with a deadline! I'm not saying it's childish to dream but it's childish when you don't set a limit for yourself. When you're a child, you dream of becoming a doctor, an engineer, a professional athlete, etc... and when you're old enough, you can and should turn those dreams into goals. Only then, it will become real. So what's your dream? And will you do something about it to turn it into a goal so that eventually you can make your dreams come true? Don't let it fool you or discourage you because you think it's silly or childish to dream. Dreams can...

mentally confined and limits

I watched a video of a young man who was tried and put in prison for a crime he committed as a minor. Then he was put in solitary confinement for misbehaving in prison. He mentioned in the talk that during his time in confinement, he began pacing, then talking to himself. And whatever he thought, controlled him. This may seem like it's going in a bad direction but surprisingly, he decided to use his time in prison to better himself. Because the other prisoners or guards sure as hell won't make him better. Long story short, he was able to utilize his time in prison by reading and educating himself. He now works towards rehabilitating the youth who are going through the same thing he went through as a kid. His aim and purpose is only guiding the juvenile prisoners forward and towards a better future for them. This video made me think of how much mind has control over us. Surely, you don't have to be confined in small cell to understand that your mind can control your action...
