To Learn…To Hope…

Umm Suqeim Beach Front

Every single day I face, from the time I wake up in the morning and going home from work I always think of all things that happened to me that day. Though my everyday routine at work is basically the same, but I'm face with different challenges that keeps me going. And because of this I take the opportunity to apply all I have learned from my past experiences.  

My constant companion is hope. It never leaves me, always at my side. Keeps on reminding me that no matter what happens, good or bad, things around me will get better and better.

I've learned to scrutinize and analyze every circumstances that comes my way because by  doing so I'm becoming more aware of myself, knowing what I can and cannot do. Stretching to the fullest the strength and knowledge I have to see how far I can go and discover my limitations.

This unusual practice (for some maybe) of mine started during my days of disappointments and trials in life. I don't remember how I started, it just happened. It is not an easy act it's a struggle in fact to unlearn and give up the "old habits" that we're very comfortable to do to give way to the promising ones. But the rewards awaits us is worth the sacrifice.

Hoping to become a better person is an approach of humility. But it's sad to say that most of us chose to be seated on our throne of pride. No time to check what need to improved and snubs corrections.

At the end of the day I can say it's worth it to summarize all the days work and things I have done under the sun and to mind every single details of it. The learning process in life will never stop but can be ignore or simply, one doesn't want to make out and change his ways for the better.

To hope for something worthy and place it under God's security, will surely achieve by one who is persuading it wholeheartedly.

My Blog

As I am writing this I have so many things in my mind but no any idea what to write about. What I have in mind, the foremost one, is to create my own blog. I'm kind a excited and at the same time thinking of what would my friends and colleagues reactions. "What's with your sleeves now and you created a blog?" I'm sure it would raise a lot of questions like that and not to forget eyebrows. But I am pushing to have one and scrap all the negativities that lingering in my thoughts.

My everyday experience is my driving force why all of a sudden I created my own Blog. It's not going to be a "self centered" one but something that people can relate to and freely share their own experiences and at the same time learn from each other. I will name it as "Anything under the Sun" which tackles all day to day life that happens under the sun, that simple. My concept will be fusion which is, if may I add, my personal choice of style in fashion design, decorating my place, my wardrobe and music and I want also to use it in my writing. No particular and regular topic, I'll just post whatever comes in my thoughts, book and articles I've read, from the people I talked to and primarily just what I've said base on my everyday personal encounters in my daily life.

I have never dreamed to be a writer or to be a blogger, but my interest in writing started in Manila when I was doing my personal journal way back 5 years ago but didn't have the chance to start writing because of my busy schedules. I don't have any background in journalism or even attended a seminar but I felt that I also have this gift in me. My uses of English words are very simple and personal and I wanted it that way. I want to communicate not to be a "thesaurus dictionary" that people will have a hard time thinking of the word or statement I have said. I must admit I 'm no expert in English but I am doing my very best to improve it and I believe in writing will do.

I don't talk a lot but I do when I'm so engross with the topic and especially talking with another interesting person.

A Blog is one of the modern inventions in the art of communication in the 21st century. To the one who invented it, my hats off to you! You did a great and unique job.  

I would definitely take my chances to have my blog otherwise I will miss the opportunity to share and at the same time to create a bridge for meeting people. I am also aware of receiving bad and unpleasant comments (but I hope not…please spare me) and reactions but that's how it goes in a blog. My concern is, I just don't know yet what and how my reaction would be when that happens.

So, here, I finally got what I have to write, it's about having my blog!
