In my journey, I feel deeply connected that somehow my mind could not really comprehend. It's like there's always a fighting mode between my heart and mind. And I don't know who is right. Couldn't really understand this feeling of vagueness...and the more something that I ignore, is the more something it appears.

Appreciating Someone's Work
Writing and blogging is my learning curve, not a virtuoso type as the other writers do but I am continuously digging the hole for improvement as I walk through the valley of enlightenment. I may have the call for a true spiritual path as I am doing this as possible part of my vocation. Not necessarily to become a nearly guru like Dalai Lama, but the freedom I would like to project is being able to gain wisdom so that in time, I may be able to reach out the best way I can sharing these words of wisdom.
I may never have a big audience who will listen to me and I do not intend to expect anyone to believe in me either, but this is such a great journey to come up writing a blog as I just want to express something that I feel about within the period of time.
Inspired to write a blog because somehow I feel appreciated and my works are being liked to a point that one of my Facebook friends encouraged me to pursue writing which I feel my spirit is being uplifted. Thanks for that, it was an eye opener for me to write even more. And I have that burning passion glimmering in me to accelerate such interest.
Being able to be recognized from a job well done is an honor, whether it is small or great, as long as you know that you have the compassion to do it wholeheartedly. Sometimes we crave for appreciation for that builds self-esteem and confidence towards ourselves, especially when you are in the midst of finding the true nature of your passion. And you may seek for self-belongingness from someone to be as your own mirror of your greatness. Appreciation is a moral booster and it motivates you to keep you more focused on the things that you want to do. Internally its effect is to let you glow and become the source of inspiration to others seeking the same thing to feel being appreciated from your works.
And we have perhaps encountered the odds when the time in our lives that we get tired to please someone as you feel that you are not being acknowledged from anything that you did and share with, as you may expect you are being appreciated from your works. Our expectation is what we seemed to be the lead source of disappointment causing us to ask so many questions and perhaps to huff.
I believe that appreciation is not measured quantitatively. It is qualitative and it does not take a lot of people for you to be able to be recognized. One may be enough to grasp its meaningful essence. To some, it does not take a lot in order for you to become happy once you feel your works are being loved. First it must come from the heart, the moment our souls recognize it. Whatever works that you love to do and some people could not relate to it, good or bad but at the end of the day, you can pick up some lessons to improve anything that you are compassionate about.
Remember that appreciation is not about pleasing everyone. You are being appreciated because they simply believe in you, they resonate with you and they like your work. And in order to be acknowledged, it should connect to someone's soul making them agreeable anything that has relevance and distinct to them.
Our mind is so powerful which creates the ego and blocks the heart in order to get blinded not to appreciate anything you have withstand to give your all to, and limiting the likeness towards the prism of someone's company. But outside that core are the people looking for self-belongingness and hoping that finally someone will like the beauty of your work.
Your works may not be the best or perfect one and you may feel that you are being overlooked, but if you flip the other side of the coin, anything could happen for you. Some surprises come when it's your time for you to shine. And we have the shining moment in our lives that sparks in the air. And when it comes, it will nourish you like a king or queen in the castle. And that means the Universe have heard you, and if someone else cannot appreciate, never resent because the Source sees whatever things that you do. Share the magic of your works without condition without expecting anything in return, for it will just come when you get the fruits from the tree.
A simple appreciation changes your perspective, you feel that you are being recognized, it motivates you more to do better and share your works to others. Life is about appreciation, you acknowledge the blessings and you appreciate anything that comes to you.

Life Lessons We Learn From Another Soul
About 5 years ago, I had a dream with this person that I'd been working with in the business perspective. In my dream I heard this person saying, "I'll be the lead source of your failure." The dream was so vivid that I could remember every detail that this person was saying when the moment I wake up, until this present time it never faded from my head. So unforgettable that I knew what would gonna happen in the business side soon. I would not mention this person's name to protect his/her identity. And to cut the story short, 5 years later something really happened bad to my business endeavor as it slides down to the ground after fighting to win over the economic melt down. We had arguments until this person decided to leave me with great responsibility on my shoulder. I wouldn't go into details what really happened between us but when you read between the lines, the business had to be set aside as everything went into rough sailing.
So that's what happened 5 years after dreaming of something bad was about to transpire, aside from the other experiences I had as part of my spiritual journey.
Few months later after we parted ways, I had another dream about this person, that I met this person again and this time, our conversation went smooth that the person talked to me in a nice manner. I just could't remember what this person was saying about, but it seemed we had settled our disputes nicely, that in my dream I have forgiven the person despite of what happened between us. And when I wake up from my dream time, I felt light, and free from any grievances.
And to those who are in the same spiritual path, they can understand easily that our souls meet and talk in dreams. That the souls in human form coming into our lives teach us the lessons to learn and grow as we evolve as human beings. Without these experiences, life is dull and unchallenging, and life has no meaning and purpose at all. In that way, this makes our hearts resilients and purifies us until such time we are now ready to fulfill our missions, if we are bound to walk through with our missions. We as human beings have different journey and when we walk through the shadows of darkness, we meet people and some will give us supports and some will be the catalyst for our growth.
Back to my dreams about this person, in 5 years I had learned so much and realized that this was part of a plan that the Source was giving me. That the second dream I had with this person I would presume upon meeting in another dimension means that the person's mission for me has been fulfilled as this person acted as the catalyst for my growth. Our souls had twice met and the first meeting conveys that it is the person's mission to act as my catalyst for my growth in this department as what happened to me heavied my responsibility that I've been carrying up to this moment.
I can now understand why things were meant to happen, that everything happens for a reason. It is something that we can learn about, if we put these things into another perspective. The ego-based business I had to put into shelf that I had to concentrate what my real passion is. In this way we are waking up to our trueself, that we can never escape from who we are. That God is the Source, and that we can learn how to forgive and forget, put aside the ego that we were covered for ages in this world and experience healing as we set to walk the path towards perfection.

My Thought For Today
It's almost Valentine's Day and I guess if not some, most of the people will have to celebrate this special day with someone they love. Flowers, chocolates and cakes may be the most popular give aways for this season of love and to those in the business realm would mean profit. I should know that, haha because I myself is into the realm of business.
At this moment I do not have the drive to write something in my blog site, well I'm sharing my thoughts about how bored I am since I stayed the whole time in my room. But I was suppose to go for a photo shoot simulation in Angono, Rizal but I feel really tired and seemed to have a quite body ache.
Last Sunday night, I went to Antipolo because one of my friends there will be leaving for Oman on the 13th. We used to hangout in her house when we had get togethers and prior to this, the last time we had funs and overnight to her place was almost 4 years ago before I left for New York in March 2009. Whew! That was such a long time already that I couldn't imagine how fast the time flies. In her house, that was our bonding place that I couldn't resist to go every time we had some meet ups. These are also my supporting friends for high and lows. And Tita is leaving already, she's been to Oman back and forth every 6 months. I remember her she called me up when I was in Baler, Aurora last year in February. That time I had to travel a lot and I had to confide to her that I was in soul-searching, or finding myself and experiencing spiritual awakening. When I was in Antipolo last Sunday before leaving her house, she let me borrowed the book "The Power of Now" by Eckhart, Tolle and the book by Professor Jaime Licauco, "Soulmate, Karma and Reincarnation." I still have to start reading this book as soon as possible. They were just intereting books to read about.
So now since I spend most of my time in my room, I'm always online reading and googling, and staying in touch with my Facebook friends. So I still have an opportunity to record my songs. I guess, this is all for now.

A Thought About Unreciprocated Love
A couple of hours ago I posted on my wall about this quote as Valentine's Day is now fast approaching:
As you search someone for your wholeness, you may suffer from a condition of un-reciprocated LOVE. Though this may hurt you so much, always take a look at the brighter side by focusing more to your spiritual growth. Because everything happens fot a reason. For every situation, there is always a Divine purpose.

Outreach Program in Kanlungan Ni Maria
Yesterday was quite busy day as me and my Antipolo friends went to the home for the aged, The Kanlungan Ni Maria. We had an outreach program there that started at past 11 in the morning and ended around 3pm. The program was served with the foods and after the lunch, there was a mini presentation. I sing with 3 songs in the event. I brought my camera to shoot the program. After it ended, we went to one of my friend's house, usually where we always have a gathering when I go up to Antipolo. I stayed there till 4 in the morning, but now I feel sleepy haha. We seldom see each other so I decided to stay there for a longer period of time.

As If We Never Said Goodbye
Today is the first day of the month of February and I had a very short sleep today as my dream kept me awake. Someone was talking to me in my dream explaining everything but I could no longer remember what the man told me in my dream. So I slept past 4 a.m. prior to my dream time, then afterwards I had a hard time sleeping that I got up from my bed at 6:30 a.m.
In the morning I recorded a song, it was a Broadway musicale from the show "Sunset Boulevard" and the song was "As If We Never Said Goodbye." I recorded this song about 2 years ago but the quality wasn't good enough yet since I was quite new to use the recording software. My late brother taught me how to use it because he knew about the technical aspects in recording since he himself used to have a recording studio, aside from being an arranger, musical director and composer.
I love this song, quite remind me about the Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California and Broadway in New York. Quite reminiscing about the past.
So here's my cover version as popularized by Barbra Streisand and was used in Glee.

Somewhere In My Past
This is my last post for the month of January and tomorrow starts February. I recorded a song today entitled "Somewhere In My past." This song was first popularized by the popular teen idol in the 80's, the late Julie Vega. Later on the song was revived by Divo Mayer, not sure about the date but I think it was 4 or 5 years ago. I found the material in youtube and I downloaded the karaoke and recorded my own cover version. I love this song, The way I understand the lyrics of the song, it was about a soul mate connection. We all have soul mates, either our friends, brother or sister, etc who has a close bond to us. Soul mates anre not necessary romantic in nature.
So here's the song "Somewhere In My Past."

Wawa Park in Angono, Rizal
Now I have found a hub that's not too far to travel and it would help me simulate my passion in photography where I don't have to spend a lot that anytime I could travel since Angono is just a nearby place from where I live.
You can see both sunrise and sunset in the place and possibly be good for some landscape photographers like me.

Dream About Alien Invasion
I had a dream today and is still fresh on my mind that I need to have my experience documented. My dream was about the aliens attacking the earth where people started to panic. There was an underground escape route as comfort zone to some people to hide themselves from this attack. Seems like it was a high tech, but first you have to go down stair in order to get the elevator. The elevator takes you to the underground train and the tunnel serves as an escape route that will bring you to another place or world.
It seems it was a scene from the Battle of Armageddon as described in the bible. Some people were left behind, who were not able to go inside the underground. There were some exit points so you can go up again once you reach another place.
Sounds weird and scary though and I think probably my dream was a vision how things would happen in the future.

Just Another Day in Binangonan
There were several alternative paths they said but you can't miss the hill once you saw the parish church. About two weeks ago, I've seen the big cross while I was on my way to Talim island via motorboat. So I got curious about it and decided yesterday to go uphill. My idea is to get another shot on the setting sun with overlooking to see Laguna de Bay. If you go uphill, you can climb up the stairs but it's not to steep once you step up until you have reached the topmost of the mountain. The stair is similar on the Way of the Cross for it has a station depicting the suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ. I got some good shots though seeing the sunset and it brings different colors to the sky.
