Loving Still Despite the Pain

Is loving always equals to pain? How can such an individual still capable of loving someone even he/she knows that there wouldn’t be any chance at all. That even by loving him/her still will result to more pain. Pain that resulted to hearing things that he/she is moving on, meeting and seeing other people. While you on the other hand, is still stuck loving him/her.

Is it just psychological? Or is it because you truly love the person?

It’s really painful loving someone you can’t have even though you knew it’s already over, isn’t it?

Just a thought…

Is Looking at Others a Form of Adultery?

A discussion between two married man and a single man took place while they were on duty. They were discussing and asking whether looking at another woman is already a sin in the bible. Isn’t it wrong to admire and just to look at other woman when you are married? I began to think and remembered what I read in the bible about adultery. Jesus said in Matthew 5:28, “Anyone who looks at a woman with the intentions of possessing her has in fact already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Therefore I conclude that fantasizing is in fact a form of adultery but just merely looking at other woman without any intentions of possessing nor fantasizing is just fine. Fantasizing can lead to increase dissatisfaction to your wife which may lead to harming your marriage.

No More Neverland…

Here’s one inspiring story from a friend of mine, Yassy Uy. It’s one short story about her realization that there is no contentment in life and that there could never be a beautiful and magnificent place that could last for an eternity except HEAVEN. In Heaven where there is no gnashing of teeth, no fire…only happiness, contentment and smiles.

There was this little girl who was very fond of watching this tagalized cartoon series entitled Peter Pan. She was so amazed by the whole story, the characters and most especially, the place where the whole story evolved, Neverland. This little girl was so fascinated with the place and she pictured it out as a real paradise filled with pine trees, different flowers, streams and rivers and a gazillion hectares of green fields. Funny how she’d always climb up into their rooftop and just stare at the blue sky, imagining that she could fly to the land of the unknown.

While she was growing up, the thought of the place still lingered in her thoughts and it was very evident in her art works, poetry and song-writing. Seeing nature such as pine trees makes her feel at ease. Shallow? Yes maybe but not for her. The ultimate dream for her was to live in that kind of place. America she thought. Korea, Australia and New Zealand were also great options. But despite of all these day-dreaming stuff she had been doing, she was suddenly struck by this one statement. “There is no contentment in this lifetime.” The girl realized that no matter where her feet brought her, her heart will still have a vast room for unending desires, thirsty for a much greener pasture. And so I contemplated. Oh, did I just say “I”? By the way, the girl I’ve been talking about is me. Yes I reflected.

Just before my whole world was almost buried six feet below the ground, I found the answer. The place I have been dying to go to my entire life is not of this world. Not America, not Australia or not even the Caribbean. It is far beyond my wildest imagination or any man’s description. It is unfathomably beautiful, and its splendor has not even entered the minds of men. It is called heaven. Finally, I now know why they named that Peter pan place Never Land. Because there will NEVER be a place in this world that is meant to last for all eternity.

Blogging and Compensation

It’s been years that I am into blogging. Blogging has become my passion, my comfort zone and my sanctuary. For me it is where I vent out my inner thoughts and ideas. Share my emotions and inform people about some informations. Indeed, it’s one media that help spread the word. It’s a good medium though when used properly. For most, it has become a hobby but this hobby somehow becomes compensated. Yes, blogging can be compensated. There are several pay to blog sites available online that caters to these compensation thingy. It is usually called, paid reviews. And the earnings you get from these may not be that much to replace your current job, but it can help you with your savings plan and other additional income needs.

This Year’s Motto…

*Photo credited to BenHeine of deviantart.

Celebrating another new year comes with new year resolutions. I think one of our new year’s resolution should be not to worry too much with the future. As Jesus said in Matthew 7:34, “Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it’s own”.

It’s one inspiring phrase for us worriers. Let us all live each day as if it is our last and make the most of it. By being positive and doing all our best in every efforts. Let us all put our faith in Jesus for He is always with us. God has plans for us and we just have to live our life to the fullest in accordance with God’s will.

Year of the Rawr!

Year of the Ox has been not that good year for me. Emotions were at peak. Nonetheless I am still grateful for the experiences I encountered this year. The pains, sorrows and sufferings all contributed to my learnings of growing up. I guess this time I am more mature in handling emotional stressful situations. Learned lessons which were kind of hard for me. Still, I’m thankful to God for surpassing all of these. On the contrary, I met new people and gained new friends who somehow gave me back the smiles and laughters I once lost. I’m still thankful for all those people who stuck up with me through thick and thin. You guys were indeed a very good and real friends. It was also this year that I realized my disconnection with God and reconnected with Him again. I so missed my relationship with Him and I’m glad that despite of the efforts I made which seemed so worthless, I was able to get back to Him.

I know I did hurt some people and I am asking for apologies for that. And there are certain people who caused me so much pain, but nevertheless I learned to forgive them. Indeed, things do happen for a reason. Perhaps to give more meaning and learnings to our lives. People do come and go in our lives leaving us with memories, experiences and lessons to learn.

With the Year of the Tiger 2010, I am looking forward for a positive and better year for me this time.
