Happy Monday everyone! Let’s start this week right! I found this video, shared by a Facebook friend who is also an optimist like me. This is a compilation of great wisdom lessons from various movies. I’d like to share it with everyone so I’m not just posting the video; I also transcribed it for you all. Enjoy and be enlightened! And let’s make it an awesome life!

TRANSCRIPTION:

“Shut up, listen, and learn.”

 

“Remember, all I’m offering is the truth, nothing more.”

 

“You are fully capable of deciding your own destiny. The question you face is – which path will you choose.”

 

“Everything you do in life, every choice you make has a consequence. When you do things without thinking, then you ain’t making the choice, the choice is making you.”

 

“It is not our abilities that show what we truly are, it is our choices.”

With Nonoy Tim. ^_^

Today is my birthday. Yey! Another year added to my joyful, meaningful life! Thank you all for the birthday wishes. It really means a lot to me. So like everyone else on our “special days”, I am getting a lot of love on Facebook: not only from family members, relatives, old friends, new friends, professional contacts but also from other random friends. LOL! So I won’t deny it, it’s actually quite touching, and I totally appreciate it!

But here’s the thing. How do you properly acknowledge all of these greetings? Unless you have like 10 friends, answering each post is of course a losing proposition.

In memory of Papang. He coined this nickname for me.

So here’s the solution I found. I am going to write a blog post and dedicate it to all my friends and family. This blog post is for all of you guys! I seriously, wholeheartedly love you guys, and thank you so much for loving me back!

Thank you everyone for being a part of my birthday and my life! Blessings and positive vibes to us all!

This video is a photo compilation of some of my adventures with Tim. The music is “Marry Me Jane” by Gadfly. Gadfly is a local band from Bacolod. I had so much fun in making this video. Bear with the sweetness ok? I guess this is because of the jar of honey that Tim gave me last weekend. ;-)

Thank you Animoto for the free-full-length video! You’re the best!

Ananda Marga

-marga (path) of ananda (bliss)

For the past few weeks I have been researching and practicing yoga for beginners. I have been looking for a yogi to teach me here in Iloilo but unfortunately I have not found anyone yet. But guess what – Facebook has solved my dilemma. A friend contacted me and introduced me to Ananda Marga Wellness Center. But before I get into more detail about Ananda Marga let me explain what “yoga” really is first to diminish the misconceptions about it. First of all, yoga is not a religion – it is a way of life, a lifestyle. Yoga means “union” in Sanskrit which is the language of ancient India where yoga originated, and it refers to the union between mind, body and spirit. Yoga practice involves physical postures or poses that involves stretching and creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility. Each pose has specific physical benefits and can be done quickly in succession, heating up the body or more slowly to increase stamina and allow concentration on the alignment of the pose. Although the approach to each pose can vary depending on the type of yoga practiced, the poses remain the same. The benefits of yoga start with general well-being. It takes a broad holistic approach that teaches people a new lifestyle, way of thinking and way of being in the world.

Happy Anniversary Noy! Hindi na ko mag-cheesy diri ah ky you know na why. Basta kabalo ka na ah. :D

Happiness has been your gift to me
All these years of melody and pain,
Pleasure, hardship, wanton rhapsody,
Pure delight and hard, wind-driven rain.
Years do not add up to love and glory:
All things rest on non-things far more true.
No note is so sustained throughout our story;
Nothing but your love, and mine for you.
In our lives must always be confusion:
Very little lost in Time is clear.
Even so, the whirlwind’s an illusion
Regarding the few things we hold most dear.
So you have chosen me, and in that choice
Alone I find my refuge and my voice.
Reality is made by our own will:
You made my world and hold me in it still.
