Overcoming the Waves

If only a boat was a person, it definitely is the bravest man that ever lived. In a vast ocean where waves are strong and powerful, these little boats can go through the winds and the waves without drowning. Which means life is not about sizes; it is about how strong you face your adversaries.

The waves of problems could be too strong, but if we manage to stay on our ground, we would be able to get through it. Do not be afraid of the waves of life. They are there to test how strong we are. Sometimes, we don’t know what we’re capable of unless we try. 

To Grow Old with You

You know I love you, I really do. 

My mind is filled with thoughts of you;

Even if we argue and have quarrel sometimes,

I still love you all of the time. 

You, my love, are the only one, 

There's no one else I that I would ever want;

Oh, how I miss your hugs and cuddles, 

Makes me want to fly there and give you lots of snuggles. 

My love, please know

That I want no one but you. 

You are the one that I want to spend

My life here on Earth till the very end. 

Can we just be together now? 

You know I miss you but distance won't allow. 

Time will come when you're back home, 

Then we will have the happiest home. 

This distance we have is just temporary, 

Please know that it won't stay this way. 

So let's keep our faith in each other, 

And pray that one day we'll be together. 

All I want is to be with you, 

Until the day I die.

My love, please know, 

I love you and I will never lie. 

I Dream of Getting a Perfect Car

*Sponsored post

I dream of getting a perfect car,
A car that would serve my family best;
A car that will be part of us for a long time
And will be our companion in family bonding and travel.

It will have a space big enough to accommodate our growing family,
Where I can place my children's car seats without any delay.
It will be ready to go with us on an adventure,
Whether that's going to on a long highway trip
Or a trip on a bumpy road as we visit our small farm.

This car should have  crash avoidance and protection features,
It should have airbags, electronic stability control, and active braking systems.
This car will take us to our destination,
And carry us home safe and sound.

I  know getting a perfect car isn't easy,
That is why I don't do things in a hurry;
Finding the right dealership is important
As they will be my partner for a long time.

Whether a car dealership is an actual store,
Or online like cars.com doesn't matter at all.
What's important is you get the right service
From the dealership that you want to work with.

I know this car will be waiting for us,
And hopefully, by the time we are financially capable,
We'll own this perfect car of my dreams. ♥

Receiving My First Pay

I can still remember from years ago when I received my first pay.
It was the first fruit of my hard earned labor, I didn't know what to say.
I know it wasn't a lot but I'm still lucky anyway,
I finally got a job where I'm going to get a regular pay.

Long after that, I decided to quit my job,
My pay's not enough, I said to myself.
I will find another job that will help me grow and learn more,
And give me much better offer than what I had before.

I was right for letting that job go,
I was accepted for another job after about a week or two.
How happy I was to land this job,
I will surely be able to save more now, I won't feel odd.

Funny that in life we keep wanting more.
One day what we have was just right,
The next day, we say it's not everything is not alright.
We go search again and find another thing which we thought could make us contented,
Only to, later on, leave it for another thing we thought we'd be pleased.

In this life, the key is contentment.
No matter how big or small we have, if we learn to appreciate, we won't want anything more.
Sure it's sure to dream of something bigger, but a dream is different from selfish ambition.

Be happy with what you have.
Be thankful for the things you received.
In every opportunity, learn to give thanks,
And you from there, the happiness you will find.

The Nature's Perfection

I watch the west as the sun slowly rests for the day. Little by little, the darkness starts to occupy the sky. It was a beautiful sunset. The sky begins to show its purple-ish color match by an orange color from the sun's rays.

It was perfect. The sunset was perfect. The day transitioned from twilight to night in front of my very eyes and I am in awe of what nature can show me and so much more.

His handy-work is majestic. God's wondrous creation is amazing. Words are not enough to describe how great His creation is.

It is sad that many of these wonderful creations are now destroyed by another creature - the human. We have stained nature, destroyed its being and abused it to our benefit.

As I sleep tonight, I will always be reminded of that beautiful sunset. I am privileged to be able to see it. As much as I can, I will take care of the environment. I will be responsible.

What Good Will Cutting a Hair Give?

**This is a sponsored post. All opinions are of the writer's.

I still see the little girl in me: sitting on a small chair in front of a mirror. With a pair of sharp scissors in hand, she's combed her hair and prepared to cut some front hair for bangs she always wanted to have. 

Being the 8-year old that she was, the haircut she thought would come out nicely turned out to be a disaster! It was the shortest hair she's ever cut and there's no way she could hide it! When the older people saw it, they were teasing her because of her bangs-gone-bad looks. 

Two decades after and I still remember that little girl who was so curious about trying so many things. That haircut disaster became part of her life and that memory will always bring a smile on her face. 

This girl now knows that she can't just cut her or somebody else's hair. She needs help from someone who is either skilled or trained to do the job. Did she ever cut her hair on her own since then? No, she hasn't at all! 

This girl-turned-woman now has thick, ebony hair. They are not the perfect hair but she has them treated regularly. She knows that some girls are not gifted with hair and some of them sadly get bald because of cancer. She now occasionally donates hair to be used by others. 


Aside from that, she is also considering donating more by buying a wig online. She thinks that in this small gesture, she can bring a smile on a cancer patient's lips.

What Have We Done?

Look around you - do you like what you see? Are you happy and comfortable with what your eyes see? Do you still see trees around you? Or do you have to go out of town in order to do that?

Mother Earth gives us such a wonderful place to enjoy. Trees that shed us, seas that where we can swim and relax, the sun to keep us warm, clean water to keep us hydrated. Do we still have this now?

Look around you. Are you in a crowded and polluted place? What have we done to our environment? The birds are chirping sadly as they witness the trees being cut. The fishes and reefs die because of illegal fishing. We are replacing forests with buildings and recreational parks, we care less about our environment.

The Earth is crying. Our nature is dying. Do your part - save the Planet!

The Message of the Cross

When I see a cross, I remember the Savior. What would life be if He did not go into this world to save mankind? We all live hopelessly -- without any direction in life.

But because Jesus died on the cross for us, we have this hope of eternal glory. We can be with him for eternity. If we accept him as our personal Savior and Lord, He gives us the right to become children of God.

What wonderful message it is! If we admit that we are sinners, believe in the power of Jesus and that His death on the cross means salvation to all, and if we confess our sins accept Him as our Savior, He is faithful and just to forgive us from all our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoings.

Let everyone hear, the incredible message of the cross!
