Let Me (999 Wonders)

I wonder how you sleep.
With all the traffic in your head
And the crossroads in your heart
The choices you’ve made
Thinking there is no turning back
The difference we thought we needed
All for the glory of now
Not for the long run

I wonder how you breathe.
With all this scarcity of love
This fake world we’re living
Time wasted on wrong reasons
Everything jaded
Then you crumble

I wonder how you weep.
Does the leak make things softer?
How much heavier can you go on?
Does the world really care?
You wonder
If ever you could go back
When will you start?

I want you to remember
I want you to break free!
I want you…to get over
Wonder how beautiful you can be
Now lay it down…
I’ll always be with you
Here and now
I’ll pull you high enough

Be your savior!
Be your saviour!
I will be
You’ve been my savior…
Will not fail this time

Heart Talks #1: Enigma

Its an enigma when you fall in love and accept that some good things never last. Suddenly you'll begin to see yourself as nothing. Its agony to accept that despite the feelings you have, its all not enough, but when you love someone, you would do the hardest thing and yes its not going to be easy, but at least you know that what you felt was real in the end, you'll ask yourself “does it hurt?”. Then you'll close your eyes and whisper, “yes, but its all worthwhile”.

21 Rules to Be Happy

Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. FOUR. When you say, "I love you," mean it. FIVE. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married. SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight. EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dream. People who don't have dreams don't have much. NINE.

TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly. THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?" FOURTEEN. Remember th...

200 Pesos

I remember Mike, talking in front of 100 people, a couple of years ago, started off his seminar by holding up a Php200 bill. In the room he asked. "Who would like this Php200 bill?" Hands started going up. Of course, I raised mine. He said, "I am going to give this Php200 bill to one of you" Then crumpled the 200 bill. I was surprised he did that. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air and again, I raised mine. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his black shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air and still, I wanted to get the Php200 bill. "Folks, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease it's value. It was still worth Php200. Many times in our lives, we ...
