LEAVES THE FUTURE TO FATE

(Source:seraphic.wordpress.com)

When future seems untrue & blurred, as if hope gone slowly to forlorn-we glided to discourage and ask," What Future do I Have? ".
Growing up in a poor family, I always dreamt of having a fine,classic life.But up to now I'm still gruppling tightly whether chance would come or not. Aside from obtaining a good christian Education; shaping & building my own dreams is really hard to establish when I only start now putting a scaffold in the midst of my adult years.
I remember an old song that goes," When I was just a little kid, I asked my mother what shall I be? Will I be richer, will I be poor?; this is what she said to me, " Que sera, sera whatever will be, will be. That song describes the simplicity of a kid's dream and confusingly what future holds for him out of his innocence, as the mother can't help out to pull a better future for her kid but leaving the future to fate. When we hope, we tried our best to realize it but when the heaven seems so silent and prayers left unanswered, we become helpless but give fate to control.
As a dreamer and dreaming of big things to happen in my life,the journey must go on though it remains still a question till now. However,I strongly believe with faith in my heart that God will help me to fulfill my dreams before the due of time.
Frailty as I am, discouragement sometimes knocks me off down to the ground helplessly.I know from start that life is like a boxing, its up to us to escape from the hit of every jab of the opponents and prepare ourselves to face the possible strong blows of life.
Do I leave my future to fate? I just don't know....I'm still asking myself about it..but to be safe, leave it up all to the Lord.
Let me share a nice passage that I received from a friend through text:
"Life is full of uncertainties, we'll never when our time on earth is up till its over. So take many pictures, laugh much, have a long walk with someone, take time to look up at the stars, eat like there's no tomorrow, sing loudly, feel the cold wind, smile a lot and love like you've never been hurt before because every 60 seconds you spend, is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."
What a real awakening..isn't it? My views in life has been changing every battles of life I face on daily..it's so tiring but I need to continue the battle that I have started.

(SURVIVOR) MAN AGAINST THE WORLD

SURVIVOR-MAN AGAINST THE WORLD

Have you ever walked alone at night
Like a man against the world
No one takes your side
A boat against the tide
When your faith is shaken you start to break
And you heart cant find the words
Tossed upon the sand
I give you a man against the world
All the people cheer til the end is near
And the hero takes a fall
Then theyll drag you through the mud
Youre only flesh and blood
I have walked the path from dark to light
And theyve yet to come to terms
Alone I take my stand
Im only a man against the world

And love, like a distant reminder
It tugs at my shoulder
It calls me home
I shout, can a single voice carry
Will I find sanctuary within your arms
Someday when the answers clearer
Someday when I even the score
Youll reach and youll find me near you
Right beside you
Forevermore

But for now Ill walk the night alone
Like a man against the world
A brand new day will shine
Through the avalanche of time
Now the roads grown long, but the spirits strong
And the fire within still burns
Alone I take my stand
I give you a man against the world

I just only know this song a couple of months ago.While I was on my summer vacation in Olongapo city..A piled of cd's was just messing around, one of it was a collection of 80's slow rocks.Since I'm an 80's guy I played it and this song caught my senses...I paused for awhile trying to savor and understand the message.
Upon hearing the song,I felt a sudden change of emotion that chilled me to goosebumps..Realizing that I am the man being mentioned against the world.
Sometimes,I felt that nobody takes at my side when I am down and out, frustration of fulfilling ones dream keep on taunting me.
Discouragement and envy keeps on dancing around me as if hopes has no longer power to encourage my weary soul.
Nevertheless, the song says But for now Ill walk the night alone
Like a man against the world
A brand new day will shine
Through the avalanche of time
Now the roads grown long, but the spirits strong
And the fire within still burns
Alone I take my stand
I give you a man against the world.

THE MAN WHO KNOWS

The man who knows not
But knows not
That he knows not
Is a fool, Shun him.

The man who knows not
And knows
That he knows not
Is a student; Teach him

The man who knows
But knows not
That he knows
Is asleep; Awaken him

The man who knows
And knows
That he knows
Is a teacher
Learn from Him

I got this lines from the book of my Korean student while awaiting for the class time.This really caught my attention and decided to copy them and posted down in here. I like how the messages goes knowing where to place yourself and where to learn from every person you've met everyday in this lonely planet.
Sometimes,we already have the knowing but we refused to share it nor expanding it..Sometimes we ended up a fool or sleeping...

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU GOING TO

DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU GOING TO
(Diana Ross)
Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open doors
What are you hoping for?
Do you know...?

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds
You knew how I loved you
But my spirit was free
Laughin' at the questions
That you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?

Now looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams
Just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long
Before we'll see
How sad the answers
To those questions can be

Do you know where you're going to?
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to?
Do you know...?

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open doors
What are you hoping for?
Do you know...?

This song was sang by Diana Ross,theme song from her movie Mahogany which she starred herself.
The song is asking a certain assurance in life about the future.I really like this song so much.It has been my question in life since I started to realize the uncertainties of my future...

REMEMBERING FARAH FAWCETT

This is one of the longest I have gone without blogging for sometime.I just let my twitter account to be updated of myself everyday.
Well, I'm back now and ready to wash out images again after the sad feelings I had of MJ's death.
Another sad news that shocked me was the sudden death of my fave actress Farah Fawcett. She's one of the original members of Charlie's Angels way back midst of 70's - 80's.
Right after the proclamation of MJ's death was also the announcement that she passed away after the long fight of cancer.Farah Fawcett was no longer active in the showbiz scene about late 80's. Among the original members,she's the most popular and the only blonde which the entire young women back then used to mimic her hairstyle.
She wasn't my crush eventually, its Jacklyn Smith the other member.
I can't even tell you how much pleasure I have derived from watching these shows. It's a total trip to nostalgia event while I was young and adoring these sexy and angel actresses of the 70's number tv show.
it's knocking loose all kinds of memories from when I was a youngster and indulge the entire show with my kins being addictive of the show.It was the most successful series of the 1970's.The 3 women who first played Charlie's Angels were Jaclyn Smith, Farrah Fawcett, and Kate Jackson.
In spite of being famous for her swimsuit pose, which was replicated on millions of posters, it wasn't until 1995 that she agreed to pose for Playboy. That issue sold over four million copies, which made it the magazine's biggest seller for the decade.
I can still picture some of the scenes of the tv show...She would be always my fave and can't afford to forget her.
