I love my past. I love my present. I'm not ashamed of what I've had, and I'm not sad because I have it no longer.
For One More Day
February 3, 2008
If you had the chance, just one chance, to go back and fix what you did wrong in life, would you take it? And if you did, would you be big enough to stand it?
I want to read this book.
Manong…
Just this afternoon, something really amazing happened. On my way to work, nagjeep lang ako from… dun sa may Luneta to Buendia. Siguro anim lang kami sa jeep. Suddenly, the old man in front of me started to talk. About the Bible. He is just so amazing that he was able to make me listen. I actually listened, the verses… every word he said. Proof how amazed I am? Nakalampas ako sa dapat babaan.
I admire these kind of people. They can change lives. There I was. Bugnot and depressed. All my life, I’ve been asking questions, craving for peace, searching for meaning and purpose. Listening to him made me feel a bit better. It’s as if he is saying "What are you complaining about? HE is the "answer, peace, meaning and purpose" you’ve been craving all along."
As of now, I am still lost. But this event at least opened my eyes. I realized nobody can give me the happiness and peace I crave. As to where and how i can find those? I am in the process of knowing. This is the start.
Thank you manong. I hope makasabay kita everyday of my life.
Then I remember this song by Jason Mraz…
you can turn off the sun, but I’m still gonna shine and I’ll tell you why… I won’t worry my life away.
