It Was Nice Seeing You Again...

Spending a day with your best friend will never go wrong with an unending beautiful, everything under the sun conversations before a sweet, delectable dessert at Starbucks.

Oh and really I am freaking lucky, since I won two movie passes from the office spiff! Yay!:)

Now that she just came back from a vacation in Abu Dhabi, it was indeed a great time catching up with exchanges of her stories and mine. It was nice to know that she had that wonderful time with herself with grand views of beautiful castles and extraordinary establishments that we won't be seeing here in Manila. She was excited with my stories in Music and the new people in my life as well. And though she will be seeing this movie for the second time, it was all worth it. I, having all my energies focused on the film and she, having an amazing hours of sleep inside the cozy movie house.

Now, we eat, pray and love….

 "Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation." 

I guess the question at the end of the day is... WHEN do we cross over?

Life As We Know It,

D.

Disclaimer: This movie is highly recommended for people who are open to change and ultimately, LOVE.

Let it Go....

It All Ended with Ginger and Cinnamon

When I am happy, I cannot write. However, I would, with all my heart, regret if I won't write on this one glorious moment. This direction would be a start of something new for me and for all who is a part and will be a part of it.

In spite of the news of a typhoon that would hit the weekend afternoon four days ago, the never ending quest on when will our schedules will meet, and the scarcity of time to rehearse, finally, we've shared the same tune as we dive into the pursuit of our long lost passions and dreams. Words weren't enough to describe what had happened last weekend. It was just-- a BLAST! I realized that one way or another it maybe the universe and fate telling us, not to worry at all because each one of us is sourced with a gift.

To Francis, Alec, Lea, Nathan and Gel:  

You guys were awesome and prolific!

We went home at around 5AM after a nice hot soup and woke up noon hitting the Shang to watch an Italian movie at the Italian Movie Fest--- for free!!!! :)

(Loved it! Ginger and Cinnamon after a share of humble banoffee pie)

We won't worry our lives away,

And the only Answer is YES!!!!

The Fringe Benefits of Failure

TED really makes me thinking... 

I have been watching this clip over and over again and find it amusingly inspiring. I jotted some ideas of Ms. Rowling about the benefits of failure and this is what I got...

1.Once you take the wheel, the responsibility is with you.

2. Poverty entails fear,and stress and sometimes depression it means a thousand petty humiliation but    climbing out of poverty by your own efforts that is something to which you pride yourself and poverty itself      is romanticized by fools.

3. You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success.

4.  Failure is meant to scripting away of the inessential.

5.  Some failure in life is inevitable it is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might not have lived after all in which case you failed by default.

6.  Personal happiness is knowing that life is not a checklist.

7.  Life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's total control and the humility to know that will enable you to survive this vicissitudes.

8. Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not and therefore the fountain of all invention and innovation. in its arguably most trans-formative and revelatory capacity, it is power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we never shared.

There were a lot of good points that I would have not jotted down.... Hear for yourself and be inspired!

Gotta go Back to Work....

This kind of hit me right in the face...



"You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world." — Ray Bradbury




(Oh... and yes, I am writing again....)
