What it feels to have a best friend like “Ms. Bulgaria?”

  

First, congrats Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach!

Today’s Miss Universe 2015 has been super trendy especially on different social media accounts due to what happened on the said event. And Filipinos are very hooked on the event making them to create different memes and using hash tag like #columbianized. It really becomes a main issue especially the announcement of the Miss Universe winner by Steve Harvey, the some scenes of ‘disrespecting’ Miss Universe Pia by other candidates, Miss USA being the “best bestie” of Pia and of course the supports of other candidates like Miss Myanmar and Miss Malaysia and the trending Miss Bulgaria for showing the energy of supporting our Queen Pia.

Having a supporting bff throughout your whole event in life is really a great gift that life can offer to you. It is rare to find one. So when you know you have one, keep it.

“I’d rather have one REAL Best friend than 10 casual friends”

                It is like having a soul sister. You guys are really compatible, the perspectives, the ideas, and the interests are same. Both of you share the same views and outlooks in life. And it is true that it is more a blessing to have a one true real friend than to have so many friends that at the end of the day you can’t count on or you can’t even think to invite for a cup of coffee outside cause you feel indifferent.

“With friends, it is a matter of timing”

                Being in the right place at the right time, and we shall meet again. When it comes to friends, some come and some may go, but the best people in your life, will always stay. And in a cycle of friends, others may not go to some gatherings, others may always attend, but it doesn’t mean that the one who didn’t go that much will not stay in your heart.  Regardless of how many friends we have in our lives or how many cycles we have gone through, there is one thing that we are always searching for — and that is someone we can call a “best friend.”

“Finding a new best friend is as hard as finding your soul mate”

                That’s why when you know you found it, keep it. Even though both of you have something to be done of and need to separate a little while, continue to keep in touch and always remain the pact you guys did. It’s just distance. When you love someone and value them, meters won’t matter. As long as both of you are growing and achieving your dreams, just always support one another.  No matter how long it has been since you last met or how far apart you are, whenever you meet again it feels like home.

“Sometimes home is not a place”

                It is really good to have someone you can always count on, even if your day is sunny and can laugh all day and smile, even if your day is winter and cold and you need to cry for help and even if your day is just as cloudy as your heart. If you have a real best friend, you find a safe place, you became true and no need for hiding, cause she’s also true to you and no need for faking it. You find a safe home.

“You two can read each other’s mind”

                It’s nice to know you have someone who can think the same way you does. You can finish each other sentences or can understand things by just a glance. You guys have the same taste of friendship; you know how to ease each other’s feelings and no need to sugar coat things. It’s an instant connection that makes your heart feel warm.

If you have one, well congratulations!

Why you should travel alone for sometime?

1. Solitude
The world outside is a terror. You only have yourself to calm your thoughts and feelings, to get away from a hungry world. Being quiet is different from solitude. You have the inner peace and silence, you are reserved. When you travel solo, you'll think about the things in your life. You suddenly figure out what's going on. This is a perfect comfort to yourself.

2. You'll love yourself even more
There are number of reasons to hate yourself when you are surrounded by the chaos of the world. You hate yourself for doing nothing or for doing everything. But travelling alone, you'll figure out who's your real friend, you befriend yourself. There's only one you.

3. You'll be assertive
This is a time for adventure. You travel solo, you'll never know what's going to happen or who you'll meet. It's a total blank, but you're ready to color it. Loneliness will pass, because you found yourself talking, laughing with these different people.

4. EAT
This time it's your choice. You have no doubt of eating your fave sandwhiches, nachos or fish head curry, by thinking if your friends like it or not. It's all up to you.

5. A chance of having a total freedom
You're the driver of your car, you're the leader of this journey, the captain of your ship. You'll be independent, doing whatever you wanted, going whenever you wanted. It is a passion of your mind.

Which Taylor Swift song your love life is?

1. Love Story
Of course, this is the very popular song of T.S where we all fall in love out of the lyrics and it's a cliche kind of love story of Romeo and Juliet. We've been familiar about that, the kind of love that can't be and have many obstacles around through it, though both of you guys are head over heels to each other and it's a sad thing but fight for it. If it's still in your heart and mind, it is worth taking the risk.

2. Wildest dreams
Awwww... this song is one of my fave. You only see him in your dreams, it is like an imaginary love. The love you both had is just for "entertaining". You both have a good careers in life & you two have an undeniable sparks. But at the end of the day, off the pages, you can't be together, he's got a girl & you only have him in your dreams.

3. We are never ever getting back together
Well, if you are determined with that strong words of yours, sure this is for you  cause you never plan to get back again with him. Somethings can't be mend again & the love you had once is out of the place.

4. Forever & Always
Does he left you and broke up with you through a phone call (this is terrible), does he left you for another girl? And you are just there thinking why he did it and left you hanging? This song denotes for a bad break up. "Did I say something way too honest?/ That made you run and hide like a scared little boy?"

5. Out of the woods
This song is a kind of relationship where you were living day to day not knowing where to go next, or if it was going to go anywhere. It's like he don't have plans for the both of you, you hope for a chance but he don't have an idea what to do next.

6. Blank space
It's your story, it's like a hidden list of the guys you like, love and care about, but some people think of you as crazy and you are one of an obsessed girl.

7. Back to December
This is a sad song, one day you've met, you jive along, you felt something inside of youand makes you dizzy but happy & you can't deny there is something special about it. But one day again, all is gone. You didn't know what happened. It just stop. And all is going in your mind is how is he? You just hope to be back to where things supposed to be back then.

Things your "real" bestfriend will tell you straight to your face

Admit it, at one point in your spice girls, the means girls, or wild child theme groups, there is just  one person whom you are much closer than the others. That one person where you can jive along, talk anything under the sun without even trying to be somebody else, talk your deepest secrets and understand each other too well. There is one person that you can trust that probably you can't give to the other friends inside the cycle. Or if you're in a situation where there is just only the two of you, but not feeling there's a lack of something and just giving the best pieces of advices even if it hurts to well. But sometimes 'real' friends do that. You just know it, that somehow they are right. They hit you an arrow landed straight to your heart & mind.

1. "You ate too much"/ "You are getting fat"/ "Shut up you're not fat, eat something!"
When it comes to food, diet or a healthy lifestyle, bestfriends (esp. Girls) are too much aware of it, well we must be. But those who really take food in a serious matter, some bff's are the one who measure the level of your bod. Yes. There is someone who can tell you the truth behind your diet or eating habits. If they are real friends they'll tell you if you're not taking care of yourself whether you ate too much or ate nothing at all though you're skinny. Note, it's not just about if you're fat or skinny, but the fact that your bff cares about your lifestyle, keep that one friend.

2. "That make up, sucks in your face"/ "You're too pale, have a lip bum"/ "You're wearing too much make up"
Take it as a good advice especially if your bestfriend is a real fan of cosmetic stuffs. You are lucky to have someone teach you how to do the make up that still looks natural on you plus she wants you to look better.

3. "That outfit is a total bullshit"/ "That outfit doesn't look good on you"/ "You look fantastic"
If it's your real bff, sure she will take a good comment about your style on the day you were about to have a dinner with the boy you like. She'll not bluff anything or praise your look good even if it doesn't.

4. "He doesn't like you"/ "He doesn't love you"
Bestfriend's advice ,in terms of your love life takes a  big part of your decision making. If she's a real bff she's concern about your feelings or the story about the boy you like at school. Since the day you talk about that guy you're drooling to, she cares for the outcome, sometimes she'll try to sneak a little detail of your guy and investigate anything fishy about it. And they do, sometimes you have to believe them, they see something else on that guy that somehow you can't see because your eyes are covered by his muscles.

5. "You're failing, we have to study"
This is  the best thing about having bestfriends, there is someone you can lean to and someone who can lift you up when you're down. You help each other. So when she knows that you are getting a F in a test, she's there to help you and not to bring you down. When you love someone, you care for them and you are willing to help in order for her to turn back again on track.

The Art of getting what you want

"We don't always get what we want"
"If you want it, take it"
"I'll get what I always wanted"

Somethings are meant to be yours, sometimes it don't, but it's the matter of the process of how you get the things you want. Did you do nothing or you strive strategies to pick your apples?

1. Therapy (Act like a Psychologist)
Don't focus on what your opponent is saying, instead focus on what might she/he is thinking. This applies for money-related negotiations. "Focus on the walk away number not their goal."

2. Ask
You can't get what you wanted if it is not clear and specific. So ask. For an instance, at work if you want to get a raise or a higher position, you better ask for it. How will you know the answers if you don't mind to ask it?

3. Sacrifice first, Success later
It is easy to wish for something but hard to get through it. Are you ready to cross the rocky road? You better be. If you ask then the person will give a risk to grant you, so prove your worth.

4. Be Valuable
Benefit the organization, so they can hold a hard grip on you. If you are productive, a hard working person and is expertise at work, then they won't let you go.

 5. Persistence
Like what I've said, not every thing you wanted can be granted to you. If that happens, don't give up so quickly. Remember that when you get things from hardwork, the fruit is always sweeter than ever.

Following Work signs (What is your real Dream job?)

"The path to must is a path we create. It begins in pathlessness, nothingness, emptiness- a Tabula Rasa as Aristotle called it"

According to Elle Luna's Book 'The crossroads of should & must', "Your career, calling & job can all be the same thing you really love." But how? In today's generation, people find it too complicated to pursue their real dreams that it comes to the point that they whether forget it or didn't realize what they really wanted. Most of us, choose to 'play our market' than to 'create our market'. And yes we do admit that we work because we need money, but some people are not fond of what they're working. That's the thing. Isn't it great to work your ass out while having fun & at the same time making cash? Others are too fortunate to experienced that, some are accidents like what happened to Vincent Van Gogh, where he wrote a letter for his sibling while at work and define how beautiful the place is, in order to describe it, he actually draws it and the rest is history. But in order to get the work that you really love, you need a savings, a cash. So what will happen? Time Management. First it will be so hard, but it's all worth it. You may work at day, and at night or your leisure time you can do your thing. Paint? Write? Play music? Photograph? It's up to you. Just have patience and work really hard for it, sooner or later you can work full time for the passion you really wanted. Remember, if you want it don't quit. Try all these things you want, but the strange thread will pull you to the right one.

A little Tribute to Guys out there: For men tough on the outside, but soft-souled on the inside:

I call all the boys out, yes all. This is your page and I am honoring you studs.

Dear Wonder ball,

                I assume right now you can say that you are alright and have nothing to worry right? I assume you can play video games and practice basketball and laugh it off with nothing to worry and hide, right? I assume that’s YOU on the outside. First, there’s nothing wrong about it. You guys intend to be strong, to be hard and to be tough… on the outside, and I guess that’s your nature. You don’t want someone to see you weaker than anybody else. But mind you, we are all human.

                I know deep down there is someone who can’t hide the truth. When anybody thinks that you are so tough and hard, I know you actually care for people you most loved, you just find it hard to express your feelings. And even if someone thought you actually judge and couldn’t care about anything, I assume you still care for what people might think about you. And even if you ignore or deny the compliments, I know deep down you really appreciates it.

            And even if you intend to feel okay outside after the toxic break-up, chances are, you really thought about it the whole time. You thought that this girl might be the one, and it troubles you deep down. And I tell you, it’s okay to cry. Someone may tell you that you don’t actually care about your relationship, but deep down stud, I know you really care for this girl so much that you are willing to give it all. And after some girl breaks your heart, you acted like okay-doky on the outside, and just trying to ignore the feeling, I know deep inside you cried your heart out because of pain, and I just want to tell you dude, that someone is out there waiting for you, waiting for that kind of love to be shared. So don’t use someone just to patch the hole of pain, wait for it and it will heal and when the right time comes, she is there exactly smiling at you. Don’t give up the being of a man.

                We girls might misunderstand you sometimes, and it’s because of your little nature. Like what John Gray’s book Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.

16 compelling lines that will leave you an aftermath.

1.  No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.

2.  Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

3. As we grow up, we realize it becomes less important to have more friends and more important to have real ones.

4. Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein, etc…

5. No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life.  Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.


6. Be happy.  Be yourself.  If others don’t like it, then let them be.  Happiness is a choice.  Life isn’t about pleasing everybody.

7.  If you don’t like something, change it.  If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.

8. There are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t live without but have to let go.


9.   You don’t drown by falling in the water.  You drown by staying there.

10. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie.  Don’t save it for a special occasion; today is special.


11. Never do something permanently foolish just because you are temporarily upset.


12. Too many people buy things they don’t need with money they don’t have to impress people they don’t know.  


13.  When you have to start compromising yourself and your morals for the people around you, it’s probably time to change the people around you.

14.   Someone else doesn’t have to be wrong for you to be right.

15.  Happiness is not determined by what’s happening around you, but rather what’s happening inside you.  Most people depend on others to gain happiness, but the truth is, it always comes from within.

16.  Love and appreciate your parents.  We are often so busy growing up, we forget they are also growing old.

Comment your favorite saying or maybe you can share your most overpowering line, tell me about it!

HARD. SWEET. TASTE. (My Own Version Of Liz Gilbert’s EAT. PRAY. LOVE.)

These past few weeks I’ve been reading a book from Liz Gilbert’s personal experiences and concurrence about the existence of her life. This book personally touches my heart and even my soul, for some reasons, while reading some part of her line; I suddenly stop reading and take a moment of myself by realizing that I also want to feel the same way she did feel. For now, this has been one of my favorite books and I also want to share to you the greatness of this book.

I decided to make my own version of this book and also trying to change the title that is related to my OWN experiences.

                “Even in my underpants, I feel different”

                                                                                                -Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)

HARD

I named the first part of my journey as hard, denoting that for me before the sweet life, you have to taste the hard part of your meal. It may be bitter, sour, too sweet or spicy. It depends on how you denote your “Hard meal”. But for me, I’ve been with those tastes. I experienced the bitter part of my hard meal. I’ve been broken too many times, I’ve been disappointed and surely been depressed for over thinking things that no matter how hard you think, it still doesn’t solve any of the problems. Sometimes I can’t control my thoughts, I overwhelmed with the ideas and thoughts coming out of my mind. I also experienced that sour taste of life, sometimes life gave me lemons but I made Taro tea instead of lemonade. Sometimes I can’t cope up. Life isn’t that unfair, yes he gave me a sweet life, but after tasting it I am not enjoying anymore, it is too sweet for my tooth, I might have a tooth ache. But don’t you worry sometimes it is too spicy that it heats up my nerves. It may be some adventures, some thrilling moment I’ve get to experienced or sometimes it is just a bubble, nothing out of it. I’ve been into a lot and I thought so you are. We all ate our “hard meal” but that just doesn’t stop, we have to remember that there’s still a dessert, a sweet dessert…  not too sweet, not too dull, just perfect the way it is.

SWEET

This is the benefit of the human welfare; we all have the chance to taste our desserts, it is given to us, you just have to SEE it before TASTING it. It is your choice between living in the grey line or stepping out of it. I am happy to taste a sweet dessert after a long day of hard work, it is all worth it. The important thing is to balance it, don’t taste too much; it might cause you a diabetes. What I’ve mostly learned in life is to patiently wait for the perfect dessert to be offer to you. Not all desserts are meant for you to taste, some are just life-offering piece, and life gives you a bit of taste and an aftertaste. But sooner, life will give you the dessert you’ve always wanted.

TASTE

For me, this is Liz’ “Pray” part, you’ve been full, you’ve been into the hard meal, then the dessert and of course, you’ve tasted them all. The catch here is, how do you respond to that taste? How will you manage to decide after tasting? Will you eat again? Or will you just finish the meal and get up? After the taste, sure you want to have a drink? Yes? And that’s essential. Do not just eat, but taste and then drink. Same as in life, do not just pass the problem, learn from it and then move forward and try again.

                “To find the balance you want, this is what you must become. You must keep your feet grounded so firmly on the earth that it’s like you have four legs, instead of two. That way, you can stay in the world. But you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your HEART, instead. That way you will know GOD”

                                                                                -Ketut Liyer

That thing called “Moving on” ( Top cliché lines you’ll always hear when suffering from heartbreak)

Sometimes… though, hearing it a thousand times… it goes too well.

This is a true story. It is definitely is.

Dear Heartache,


      Be strong- There’s no other way but to be strong. If you insist to be weak all the time then darling you're the one who’s hurting yourself. It is too much. The only person you’re believing for and hoping for is you. Yes yourself. You have to believe that you can do this, even if thousands of memories came flashing back one by one.

   Cry- Contrary to the first one, well this only means that don’t act too strong, like acting nothing happened, like everything’s perfect and nothing actually hurt deep inside. Yes you have to be strong in a way that you believe that you can pass this heartbreaking situation that you can actually move on and feel happy again. Ignoring is so different from moving on. When you actually ignore, it more comes to you that nothing is finished, that you actually leave your heart unasked. Cry, if you feel hurt and if it makes you better… then cry. There’s no crime it in. It actually makes your heart feel better than keeping all the hurt inside.

   Don’t blame him/her, don’t blame yourself- Okay, maybe he’s/she’s the one who made the mistake, or maybe you. The point is, it is already done. You guys already made a choice. You’ve hurt one another, and that’s not a good thing but in reality it happens. Say sorry for fooling around and if he/she wants a second chance then you’re all good, maybe you don’t need to read this. But if it doesn’t go too well, then don’t blame anyone for what happened. Sometimes, the person you love and believe for was not the person you love anymore or maybe sometimes believing that he’s/she’s the one wasn’t the answer for forever. It happens. One day you love the person you are with and then the next day you woke up not feeling the same love you share with him/her... it doesn’t feel the same way again.

      Be with your friends- The crazy people don’t leave you just like that. It maybe heartbreaking to be with them while talking about your problems and thinking that something change and thinking that you are sad and single. Well, the break up just happened, so tell them, voice out if you feel comfortable. Hang out with them, cause sometimes, they bring the fresh jokes ever and wishing that you can smile just for a while.

      Talk to a new friend- Talking to a friend about your story is a good thing. But sometimes you need someone new, it helps because your new friend doesn’t have to be bias in terms of advising about your problems and believe it or not, sometimes you mostly said the loudest words you kept from your friends. Lastly, you get new encouraging words from your new friend. (Watch “That thing called tadhana”)

           Don’t hide in the dark side- Go somewhere! Somewhere, where you can voice out your feelings alone, where you can think all the things that happened between you and your guy/girl. Refresh your mind and help yourself to keep the track back. Feel the moment of finally being alone, okay feel the hurt, but after suffering from your deep thoughts, learn to be appreciative. Sometimes you have to come into this kind of scene because it is part of your life.

        Think about the good side- Maybe there’s something good that will come. So cliché, but yeah, you know what they say… someone leaves, someone comes. Think about the bright side darling, it maybe hurtful at first, but once you get the idea of finally spending time with your lost long friends, your family, your siblings or maybe spending a lot by yourself, you sometimes feel more appreciative about the person that is around you. There are a lot of people that loves you even if that one person leaves you. There is someone coming ready to save you and this time it is the right one.

             Try- Don’t be afraid of meeting someone new. It comes with readiness. Don’t try if you’re not ready… yet. Try and believe again in the magic of love. How can you know he’s the right one if you didn’t even try because you’re too scared? I can’t promise you that when the right one comes, you’ll never be hurt again but that’s full of shit. You have to remember that when you started to love, you have to be ready for pain. But … if he’s/she’s really the one that God wants you to be with, then no matter what happened… he’s/she’s always be your forever.

             Accept- Accept the changes that will happened to you. The daily habit of being with him/her was no longer on your planner. It’s time to accept the big changes in your life and change it with the small ones up to the big ones. Once you’ve accept the truth… slowly you mend the broken heart.

             Pray- Eat. Pray. Love. Simple. Eat for you to be full. Pray for you to be live. Love for you to be loved.

A letter from the girl about celebrating V-day in two special ways

                You did two things for me.

The guy I dated last Valentine’s Day was from the same school I attended. He was the guy that every cheerleader’s cheering for, he was the guy that every guy’s friend would love to hang out to, because he’s simple and yet funny. He was the guy who kept his intelligence by himself and I know that because once, we’ve competed in a home economics test.  He may be sometimes getting a lot too serious about business matters but one day along the hallway I saw him smile. That was the day I thought that this guy might be my future. I know I get too fast and that’s not right, but one thing I know that the cupid thing was right. I am finally feeling the fast beating of my heart.

                Summer came along and I can’t remember how happy I am, because on summer camping, there he was, the guy who wears a simple t-shirt but look so handsome and the smile that can lift up even the heavy boxes. I am truly into him. The rest of the summer stories were a history. We didn’t talk, we didn’t hang out, but at least we know each other’s by name. And at that one shot of the night, he asked my number.

                If you watch too many movies, I bet you know what happened next. Valentine’s Day: I wear red dress, do my simple make-up trick and just lay back my long hair. Once upon time we thought we were lovers, we thought that everything was magical and alright. That was the first V-day I had with him and that is the good one.

                The second and maybe should I called the last V-day I celebrated it with him was the day I finally had to let go of him. It was hard and it was awful, I thought it was the end. I thought that celebrating that event is very stupid.

Until once upon a time again… while walking alone and celebrating V-day, crying. Someone offered me a bouquet of roses and there was the guy in the camp, the other guy I barely know but knows a lot of me. The other guy who always watched me, the other guy who was a friend with the g guy who left me, the other guy who got my number. He was that… guy and from that special day I didn’t walk alone.

For Guys: Have her with your mouth (Better ways to communicate with your girl)

Dear Stagger guys,

                                I use the word “stagger” as an adjective and not a verb, for all the guys who mostly happened to be shaky and unsteady when it comes talking to your “special girl”, we’ve all seen this kind of scenario in movies, right? If you guys remember the movie I love you Beth Cooper, then mostly you know what I mean. I bet you also know the Sorcerer’s apprentice right? The guy staggers his words whenever he sees or started talking with the apple of his eye. Believe me, it only happens to be that unfortunate because these guys mostly fell out of love, fell out of sight and mostly, fell out of words.

                                Then here comes the guy who has all the confidence in the world, the football player guy, the varsity player and the hunky-dunky in campus. They all communicate well when they talk to their team mates, coach, teachers, or some other girls in campus but not to the one who they truly admire. And that’s where the issue comes.

                                Some other guys thought that talking too logical or too intelligent will make them superior in conversation leading to the false belief that this kind of talking will make their girl fall for their words, but some girl, they don’t buy it. They don’t actually swallow your word-tionary.

So, to make her finally decide that you’re someone’s worth talking to, and maybe someone’s worth wasting the night with, then here are some tips for you guys!

(             (1)    Don’t be too logical.

                                -Yes, it is good to hear some witty words to you guys, but not to the point that you overcome your girl’s emotion and believes. Believe me, it will hurt them. Thinking that this guy is being too logical for their first date is a no no. So try to listen and sympathize and move on after.

        (2) Don’t tell stupid things

                                -You know the stupid things, you know that. Now, when it comes to the girl don’t tell words that will make them think that this guy is too cocky or too selfish.

        (3) Have an answer

                                -This is mainly the thing, when she asks you “What do you want to eat?” most guys will answer “I don’t know, what do you want to eat?” The thing is girls and also guys don’t know what exactly we want or feel. So when they asked you give an answer, at least you made a comment, an idea for her to based, if she doesn’t likes your idea, then at least you could know, and if she does, then you win.

        (4) Don’t interview

                                -This is about getting to know the answer, not the case that the girl is applying for you as an assistant. Sure, you want to know her likes or what kind of things she get interested, but always remember that you like this girl and you want to know more about her, not in the matter that you have to interview her. Talk and have a real conversation.

        (5) Sorry not sorry

                                -Just stop saying the sorry. Putting the word sorry before and after the sentence makes you lame in front of her, plus it made some girls think that you truly made something wrong.

PLUS: A manly hand shake will always do the first introduction of you. Depending on how you acted on your firm grip hand shake with another man then somehow it defines how you firstly communicate with them. For your girls, have the proper hand shake if you know what I mean.

POPEDOM: POPE Francis and His freeDOM… to touch our hearts

Dear Pope Francis,

            Viva Il Papa! Bienvenido!

 I don’t know how to speak in Latin but let me use my deepest language came from my soul to Thank you Pope Francis! You are so humble and genuine, though you are the highest leader of the Catholic church, still you showed mercy, you showed love from every Filipino, you showed hope, but most of all, you lift our spirits to know, to love and to trust again. You let us know that no matter what, Jesus Christ is always with us! That he loves us, no matter what position, no matter what status we are in.  Thank you for your concern, for the love, and for believing that we Filipinos can stand because we are always loved by our Heavenly Father.

            So for my greatest appreciation for you Pope, here are the words that touch our souls.

-“I’m here to be with you,” he said. “A little bit late, I have to say. But I’m here. I’ve come to tell you that Jesus is Lord. That Jesus never lets us down.”

-“But Jesus is there nailed to the Cross, and from there, he does not let us down. There, he experienced all calamities that we experience. Jesus is Lord, the Lord from the Cross, he is there for you!”

-“And I walk with you all with my silent heart.”

-“We have the security of knowing that we are not going to weaken in our faith, because Jesus has been there before us… In his passion, he assumed all our pain,”

-He encouraged the congregation to look to the maternal care of the Virgin Mary.“In the moments where we have so much pain, where we no longer understand anything, all we can do is grab hold of her hand firmly. And say ‘Mom,’ as a child does to a mother, when he or she feels fear.

-“Let us know that we have Mother Mary, and our older brother, Jesus. We are not alone.”

-“This is what comes from my heart, and forgive me if I have no other words to express this,” his homily concluded. “But please know, Jesus never lets you down. Please know that the love and tenderness of Mother Mary never lets you down.”

-“And holding onto her mantle, and with the love of Jesus on the Cross, let us move forward, always forward, and walk together as brothers and sisters in the Lord. Forward!”

-“When you lose the capacity to dream, you lose the capacity to love, and the energy of this love is lost”

-"You know how to give but you have not yet learned how to receive. Become a beggar. To learn how to receive with humility, to learn how to be evangelized by the poor. Do you know that you too are poor?”

-“If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has a good will, who am I to judge? We shouldn’t marginalize people for this. They must be integrated into society”

-“Inequality  is the root of all evil”

If ten years ago, you wish to be become a star, I hope by now then, you already started to shine. If you want to color the walls behind you then I hope by now you started to see the fine lines. I am happy, just so happy just to be myself, to be the person ten years ago and to the person I become right now.

I know I did my best to be a better person, to be a human. I know last time some things didn't got so well, there are many things that's going on and I can't figure how to managed and solved it. But what's important is that I learn from it. I become strong and that's why right now I thanked my old self because of you I am stronger, I am wiser, I am braver than before.

You know yourself by now, I hope. Through the years, you've been hiding and seeking for your happiness, so by now I know you already found your lime light. You know what you wanted in your life, you are in control of finding what's relevant to you. But I know up until now, you still in a long adventure, you might make mistakes, horrible mistakes, troubled decision but I trust you because I know right now, you know how to live that kind of life and realizing that, it makes you more human.

Maybe by now you achieved all the dreams you once been dreaming of. You might struggle for it, but I know you'll fight for it harder. But even if you didn't get it, I know you'll run for it. The more you chase it, once you've get it, it became sweeter than ever. I know you're not alone, by now then you have so many friends and not just friends, but the kind of friend that you'll cherish and treasure. By now then, you fall in love, you stumble and cry but you'll find yourself falling in love again and finally finding your other half.

I am proud of you, because you always try to make everything okay. You finally find your missing soul.
