Surrender!

"LET GO AND LET GOD" written on a baller I got from a friend in college. A lot of times, we are faced with challenges we think we're incapable of managing. So this line reminds me to let God work upon me as I face the everyday challenges.

Most people think letting go is the same as giving up. My perspective is different. I wish to impart to you on how i differentiate the two. Giving up is an act of surrender which you, as a person, lose hope in whatever you are trying to do. Giving up is hopelessness. It's when you think no one can help you and allow the weaknesses and fears to take over the situation. Letting go is an act of surrender when you let a higher power take over the situation with great trust and faith. It is a leap that says someone will catch you if you fall. Let go and let God. It works.

See the world differently

Look at the things around you. Lifeless? dull? Absolutely no emotion? Lie down and take another look at the world around you. Look for emotions. Pictures within pictures tell more stories than a blank wall, so see life in a different perspective.

MCDONALD'S FTW!

SAVED! When we went to Cebu. We had to wake up early and travel long. So mom was tired. After checking in, my mom decided to rest. I asked her if i can go around check out the hotel, she said yes so I took my wallet and my phone with me. I went up to check their pool. It's on the 7th floor! who wouldn't be curious? When I went back to the room, I found it locked. So I knocked, rang the bell multiple times, called Mom's mobile. She's asleep! I was locked out. So kept waiting, walking, looked outside a window and saw a McDonald's close by. I went out, told the front desk that if my mom looks for me, tell her I'm in McDonald's and started walking. Did you know that a double cheese burger costs less than a regular cheese burger? (Fact) So McDonalds saved me from being locked out. :D

Death

Death is not at all painful. The fact that you're leaving a world that's full of pain and torment gives you relief. Life is painful. Cross the street, a truck comes from no where and BAAMM! you lose your legs. If you slip in the kitchen and a knife cuts your hand, you feel it. If a boy gets a cut from making a paper plane, he cries cause of the ouchy. Life is Pain. Death is Freedom. Love is the reason why we continue to live. You see, when a person dies, many things related to you die as well. The promises, the memories to be built, they will be gone. So the people around you will feel the loss of your life. Death is most painful to the people who care much about you. You see them crying, doubting, asking and beating themselves up in a funeral. Others really lose themselves when a person dear to them dies. But what does the free man want? If he dies, he doesn't want you to die with him. He doesn't want you to fall in a pit and stop the life you're having. He wants you to continue and live a better life. Live right. So I was wrong. Death is full of pain, mostly to the people who love the most. but love is the reason why people live. Keep loving so people will live lives filled with love. The way you live your life is the way people will remember you.
