They said that memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, and the things you never want to lose. God gave us memories that could last a lifetime. Precious memories that are worthy to hold, that serve as the way to precious success and happiness. Memories shared with family, friends, and to a person whom we hope to be ours, with a person whom we used to love. There are also some instances that we wish a certain sad memory to be a happy one. But instead of wishing and longing for that certain memory, we divert our attention to focus more on reality. Reality that may help us know how people view us as an individual. Memories of the past, maybe sad or happy let ourselves be guided by this memories to improve ourselves and to become a better one.

A simple thought to ponder:

“If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don’t, they never were.”

Everytime I see you smile,
You bring joy to my heart full of sigh;
You brighten up my very first day,
And enlightens my mind in every way.

Hopeless romantic I may be,
I dedicate this poem to thee;
Wondering somehow you know what I feel,
This feeling of mine, for you was real.

Sunshine in the midst of the day,
Gives light in every words you say;
I think, I’ve been fallen in love deeply,
Hoping someday, you’ll love me possibly.

Moonlight in the middle of the night,
Dreaming of you hugging me tight;
This feeling of love I kept inside,
Someday I woke up having you by my side.

And when I looked into your eyes,
There’s a mutual feelings I realize;
“I love you,” I told you;
“I love you, too,” you told me so.

Friends are gifts that need to be treasured and cared.

It is not “DESTINY” that determines “LOVE” it is “CHOICE” our so-called “DESTINY” is a lie.  Relationships last long not because they’re destined to last long.Relationship last long because two brave people make a choice. To keep it, to fight for it, and to work for it.  Meanwhile, other relationships fail not becasue they’re destined to fail.  They failed because one of the two, or both, made the choice-to set the other free.   —Princess C.

Every people must face three big decisions. Maybe you are likely to face one of them right now. What are these life’s three greatest decisions? Are these life’s three greatest decisions are as important as it is? We’ll see. They are:

1. What place will religion have in my life?
Whether you like it or not, you have to choose the central point around which your life will revolves. If you were raised with rigid and with absorbed spiritual values, you will likely to make God your major focus.

2. What vocation shall I choose?
The choice of an occupation is a vital importance for it is where we spend so many hours a day engaged in the chosen vocation. Whether it be as teacher or a nurse if your lifework fails to challenged you and bring you rewards you hoped for, you will found yourself frustrated and unhappy.

3. Who shall I marry?
The consequences of making this decision will led you to whom you will spend your entire life as well as share your love and blessings. This person will become your partner to whom you will share every level of your life. A poor decision would led to disaster not only to your self but also to your future family and children.

These decisions weigh much on you because their consequences will follow the rest of your life. You will live in this world with the decisions you make. One thing is for sure, a failure or poor choice you make on these three major decisions will likely affect or might lessen your chances of happiness and self-fulfillment.

When making these life’s three greatest decisions, don’t count on your dreams and expectations to take care of the future, instead look carefully at the present especially your feeling of self-worth. Stay focus on what makes the whole of you. What kind of person are really you? Did you ever learned to like yourself?

Every individual needs a healthy perspective on himself, and liking yourself, you’re likely capable of making an intelligent decisions and greater chances of choosing the right decisions you will face throughout life.

“We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him? What will separate us from the love of Christ?… I am contented that neither death, nor life,… will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
— Rom 8:28, 31-32 35, 38-39

“If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God…Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection.”
— Col 3:1, 12-14

“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condenmed. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
