Regrets and Living

Last week, i watched Act of Valor.  I usually don't like violent movies but this one towards the ending made me shed some tears.  Napakaganda ng mensahe na dapat ma-google ko para makuha ng buo.   Nararapat na maprint at mailagay sa aking board para reminder araw-araw.  Naniniwala ako na nabuhay ako sa mundong ito para sa araw-araw na selebrasyon ng pagkabuhay.  Gawin ang mga dapat at huwag ipagpabukas pero minsan nakakalimutan ito.  Parang napakabusy ng buhay na nawawalan ng focus at kailangan ng isa na namang kalabit o kaya pampagising at isa ito sa mga gumising sa mahimbing kong pagkatulog ng medyo mahaba-habang panahon. 
“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.  Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.  Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.  Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.  Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place.  Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.  If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.
Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.  Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”

The Kite Runner and U Take My Breath Away

it's been a while that i have not written something here. hmmmm went through a tunnel that i could say changed my life and enriched me all the same.  it was not easy but i believe that when you're down there's no way but up. so i rise up as a stronger, kinder, more passionate, more compassionate human soul.  it gets harder at times but when you look back and realized all you did is love, then regrets should not set in.  another way to get over is to forgive myself and be even more kind.

over the weekend, i watched The Kite Runner.  if i shed tears reading the book, it's the same with the movie.  what hit me was when the father told his son, Amir, that there's only one sin in the world, and the rest is just a variation of it, and that is stealing.  when you lie, you steal someone his/her right to truth; when you kill, you steal life not only from the victim but also to those who love him/her. a father, a mother, a child, a friend, etc. well, of course the end of the story is that the son found out that his father lied to him and his half-brother.  it is true indeed that what you usually condemn in others, you condemn it within.  there is something within you that which you abhor and it is always worth the self-examination before we say 'bad' things about others.

why it hit home?  that is just what i've been through recently kaya siguro sya nanatiling nakatatak sa utak ko.  kakabasa ko lang din from the book i bought last night, Sex tips for the Living, that i must befriend the intolerant side of me.  kailangan kong isipin palagi na wala sa ibang tao ang mali kundi sa akin.  i think that's what you call being responsible only for your own because we can never change other people to suit our taste.  and if we become responsible for our own life, we stopped playing the victim.  mas madali kasing magturo ng mali o kasalanan ng iba para majustify natin ang ating reaction pero nawawala ang ating power na magdesisyon para sa atin.  hindi nagiging mabuti para sa ating sarili na hindi panghawakan kung ano ang mga nangyayari sa atin.  otherwise we will never grow for we believe that we are just victims and therefore not responsible and liable to our own actions.

another movie that i watched last night is the local film U Take my Breath Away with Piolo and Angelica.  What Nova Villa said to Majoy na hindi mahalaga kung nasaktan ka sa isang relasyon o hindi naging maganda ang ending nito, ang mas mahalaga kasi naranasan ng puso mong magmahal ng totoo.  o di ba sapul!?  naniniwala ako na ang mensahe ng Dios ay dinadaan minsan sa kanta, sa pelikula, sa binabasa, sa nakikita, at sa lahat ng pwede mong mapansin kasi hindi sya talaga nawawala kahit isang segundo, kailangan lang nating makinig a t maging observative.

andito pa rin ang sakit pero palagi kong kinukuwestiyon bakit ba ako nasasaktan?  kung ang purpose ng isang relasyon ay magmahal at magpasaya at maging daan para mag grow ang isang tao, nafulfill ko yun kaya dapat masaya ako.  nasaktan ako kasi nag expect ako na dapat ang tao hindi nagsisinungaling, dapat sinasabi palagi ang totoo pero hindi ko pala hawak yun.  ang totoo ay hindi nila kailangan maging totoo at tapat sa akin just because i'm true and honest to them. kailangan kong tanggapin na iba iba ang tao at hindi sila dumarating para patotohanan ang pinaniniwalaan ko.  sa aspetong ganito, pinasasalamatan ko si Katie Byron with The Work.  malaking influence sya sa aking pananaw sa buhay.  kailangan talagang kwestiyunin palagi ang aking mga naiisip para malaman kung saan nanggagaling ang sakit.  and most of the times, it is our thoughts that is hurting us.  we thought that things must be this way and if they turn out otherwise, then we are hurt but we can get on and go beyond the thought and be really happy.  and that is what she calls accepting what is. siempre hindi ganun kadali palagi pero sino ba ang nagsabi na madali lang mabuhay? hahahaha

life is still amazing with all its intricacies. live well. love much. laugh often. ;)) happy Monday!

The Blind Side

 i was invited to go to a mountain resort yesterday but i begged off as i only wanted to be with me and myself.  had time to go ukay-ukay in the afternoon and found great cheap deals. ;_) then decided to rent some cds from video city and found sandra bullock's 'the blind side'. after feasting with crabs and 'pitik' over dinner i watched it. hay.....shed so many tears. one of the great movies i've ever seen and for sure will make it to my top 20 list or something.  
we should not really be judgmental with people on the streets.  they too have their own story to tell.  and yes if you have extra room in your house you can invite one of them maybe. hahaha. in fact adoption came to my mind after watching the whole story. funny. i wish i could be sandra too. i wish i am a billionaire too or kahit na millionaire lang. i would adopt a few of them and stay in my palace.  but then again, in the little things that i do i can be sandra one way or the other.  bottomline is treat every one like you would want to be treated by others.

i only pass this way once let me do the best i can whenever a chance comes up...

winn-dixie

nagtan aw kami it winn-dixie kabii. sadya. may line si opal nga ginhambae nga nagrugby sa akon nga utok. most of us daw share the same feeling of sadness and being lonely and we all want to share it with friends but we often forget how to share joy with others. huhuhu. it's very true. na inspire ako kay opal who made friends even with her 'enemies', the complicated people to deal with. sana maging isang opal din ako one day. at sana dumami ang mga katulad ni opal. if you've got time to kill and desire to watch movies don't forget to look for winn-dixie, she's a lovely dog who helped opal win friends.
