SWEET SOLILOQUY: DISCREET SECRETS (Random thoughts for having a rewarding life)


Every day is a blessing. Every day is love. People just don’t see the essence of living. Waking up with a purpose, embracing the new day’s tribute, cherishing every moment, every second with your loved one… This is LIFE. We just can’t see the simple thing that gives life because we always seek what is ahead of us, what is great and what is beyond. We don’t even notice that what is great and what is good is already in the palm of our hands. Contentment seems vague to people. We are not satisfied of what we have because we always follow the trend counter parting who we really are. We don’t see the beauty that beholds us. As what one author had quoted, “You are not an accident”.  We are not accidents. We are genuine. We are special.  Each one of us is created with unique blueprints that no one can ever decode except for Our Almighty, above. We are the master of our fates, captain of our ships. We play a unique role in this world. As what Shakespeare said, “The world’s a stage”. We are our own actors and actresses of our own soap operas. Life doesn’t have to be pretty all the time. Sometimes, make-up isn’t the solution for every pimple, blackheads, or whatever wrinkles in your face. It will still be seen and will be evidently visible. Think people. Simple water and soap which only cost 10 pesos from Aling Elena’s Sari-Sari store somehow is the best solution for all the distortions or shall we call “distractions” in your heavily “make-up” face. Life is all about simplicity. Live simply and surely you’ll get the best in life. It doesn’t mean you’ll dwell on what is less. You’ll end up being a mediocre. It’s not about that. It’s more on expunging limits, breaking the stereotypical images, widening horizons, envisioning the unimaginable, and believing in the power of possibilities. It may sound hard but the “will to do” is a powerful element that can drive people to fight for what their battle cries, clamors, and endeavors are getting. Life is comforting. It embraces you to the wonderful vistas of the east, it plunges you to deep sea waters of the bay, and it simply comforts you away from the city’s air. Life’s a beach. Enjoy. Live it. You have to be tan sometimes. A new color seems to change an old perspective. Laugh out loud (lol), for in silence you might not know what it is to breathe and scream freely with no holds barred. It is just you, your big mouth and your big thoughts. Think ahead. It is in anticipation where you find the threshold of experiences. Love like you have never been hugged. It is embracing what you know could make you happy and will make you happy for the rest of your life. Take a picture! For in pictures you can find every gamut of feeling in different focal points. Stolen shots are the manifestations of a quick shot and of life’s remarkable stories. Share your life for it is in sharing where you can find the greatest value of sacrifice and love beyond measure, love beyond compare.
It is not every day you are given a chance to live. Not only to live but “TO LIVE LIFE.”
