When I died...

Have you ever experienced a time when you don't know tears are already flowing down your cheeks, and suddenly you feel a shortage of breath? You sob. And that’s the only time it hit you. You're crying! You know exactly why, and you just can't stop!

FEBRUARY. My emotions are really erratic same month of every year since 2002. Though I know deep down in my heart - I have already moved on, but I still have what-ifs and hopes, that if I can ever travel back in time... I'd choose February 19, 2002 over and over again.  Then skip - fast forward today. Who cares about messing up the timeline? Sounds selfish! I just wish... I could only wish... 'Cause I know... TIME doesn't work that way. And I realized that... I tried for so many years to accept that!

I just have to deal with this feeling until February ends...

Midnight Life Lesson Thoughts

I've been kicked in the teeth by life and business for the last few years and felt like giving up a million times. Infact, at one point, I was so broke that I didn't know how I was going to get-through the following week.

It can be easy in life to find yourself going in the wrong direction and wondering how you got there... There's nothing fun about finding yourself stuck in a rut!

When you don't know where you're going in life, it really is daunting. I have been there... But there was always something inside of me though that knew, if I just got the right combination and put in the right action, success would be ahead.

Imagine living in this desert. No source of water, no people, no civilization at all for miles around. It would suck right? This is true scarcity. Many people alive today think in scarcity when it comes to achieving their goals. 

Take me for instance... I used to think that only these gurus were able to make any serious bucks online and that it was not possible for the average Joe. 

Not true. I soon realized that once I changed my mindset everything began to change for me. 80% mindset, 20% strategy = Success.

Life is much, much different now. As in everything... Few pit stops along the way, but with the right mindset and attitude - I believe, I got better how I perceive life really.

Hell yeah, I'm back!

So yeah... I'm back! After hiatus for years... There's a lot of things that have happened in the last what... 5 or 6 years.  But I'm ready to write again! I just enabled my blog to be visible in public again. This means I'm ready to defeat all the demons of my past, conquer my present fears and... face the unknown of the future... 

Why Facebook is a Facade?!

What we see everyday on people’s Facebook is a highlight. A highlight of someone’s life. The GOOD picture ONLY.

What others don’t see is who we really are outside of our ‘social media’ world. Our challenges. Our angsts. Our chaotic dramas. Behind those posts is the true persona. I’m not saying this goes for everyone. But if you are affected, then guess what? Truth hurts.

I’d still go for ACTIONS, not what I see on facebook. Anyone can post thousands of lies on social media. But what matters is who we really are outside this virtual world. So next time you want to tell your loved ones that you miss or love them - Make sure you spend time with them. Build memories NOT likes.

Bow!

I Chose You Partner!

I’m so blessed having a best-friend, confidante, ally, and a husband rolled into one. You may not be perfect but I’m so blessed for having a husband who understands my dreams, my thoughts, my whims and what-nots.

Despite our disagreements sometimes, I’m forever thankful to PapaGod that He gave me you. You’re an answered prayer and my destination. You may seem to be like a person who don’t have respect to his partner. But I’m really lucky to have someone like you who truly respects who I am and who am not. We argue a lot, but never or not even a single instance you beat me. I may annoy you most of the times but you still manage to understand my moods wings.

Nothing fancy today! But as long as we have each other - nothing is impossible! Let’s always stay grounded! Forget the situations and circumstances that have hurt us, people who have wronged us - what’s important is we have each other and we are moving forward without stepping on anyone. Lessons learned. Be forgiving! Let’s always take the high road.

My wish for you is good health and more travel for us this year. I love you Niji! Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday! 😘

Real Men Don’t Beat Women

I don’t usually post my thoughts on Facebook. But because I truly care, I would!!!

Girl, remember a real man can’t stand seeing his woman hurt. He’s careful with his decisions and actions, so he has never to be responsible for her pain. HE WOULD TREAT WOMEN THE SAME WAY HE WANTS HIS DAUGHTER TO BE TREATED.

FACT: Real men don’t beat women!

To all the ladies out there who are suffering - don’t let yourself be abused. You are beautiful! And you deserve respect and so much more. If your man truly loves you, he will NEVER EVER hurt you. Trust the actions NOT words. Once you allow it - he will do it over and over! Be smart! You deserve so much more than to be treated like a piece of shit.

What you do for a living

If you love what you do for a living and it makes you happy then I applaud you. The truth is though that 95% of the world's population can't stand their job but go to work everyday because it pays the bills.

If that's you, we know exactly how you feel as I used to be one of them. It can be easy in life to find yourself going in the wrong direction and wondering how you got there... There's nothing fun about finding yourself stuck in a rut! I know because I was there. Thankfully, I met the right connections at the right time which helped me to get out of the dead end job I was in.
