Greatness is Dependence

I have decided to write letters to people and things I'm thankful for. I realized life is awesome and it would be a great exercise for us to say thank you for all the wonderful blessings we have! Let's all count our blessings because they will tell us that we have a lot of things in our lives to be happy about. I'm first thankful to God for all these different people and things He blessed me with. Optimism starts not within but with Him :) I'm not feeling well right now so I want to address this letter to Health. Dear Mr. Health When I was younger, I often told myself that I wish I'd get sick tomorrow so I won't go to school. I also tell myself, I think I'm gonna be sick on a certain day which I have exams on. Up to now at work I sometimes tell that line, "I think I'll be sick on Monday" I regret saying those lines because being sick sucks. I'd rather be healthy and go through life than stay at home with a towel on my head. I'd ra...

We all know what happened in the Philippines. A typhoon hit last week and it brought devastation to many Filipino families especially in Manila. I realized how worse the situation was when I saw pictures of the Philippines after the typhoon. I saw pictures of broken homes, drowning kids and dead Filipinos. It's dreadful and it broke my heart seeing those pictures. Millions died in this typhoon. Some are still missing and houses are completely destroyed. As I open my Facebook account, I saw lots of people, young and old going out of their ways helping out victims. They made a way to provide help, food, money and just the feeling of being there. It made me feel better because it's in these situations where fellow Filipinos go out of their comfort zones to show love for one another. I'm in Canada right now and I'm blessed to belong to a church that will donate to the victims too. In that way I can help out my brothers and sisters even if I'm not with them physically....

The enemy was right in front of me and ready to be destroyed. My weapon was heavy, it was a stone axe. I gripped it tightly and aimed at my foe. I lifted it up over my head and with great force I slammed it towards my target. To my surprise, I missed… What happened in that split second was considered a miracle… As I try to sound mysterious and poetic, I'm gonna share to you guys an experience that made me realize something big. I have a new job now and it involves throwing broken equipments. I throw worn out microwaves, vacuum cleaners, grills, chairs, tables and all kinds of appliances. To fully utilize the space of the garbage bin that we have, I smash the equipments into pieces with a stone axe before I throw them out. I enjoyed doing it because it's a stress reliever. You could pour out emotions to broken microwaves and smack them. That's awesome. I enjoyed doing it until an incident happened. Last Friday I was about to smash a defective table. So I lifted the stone...
