If I owned a bar or restaurant, I would always keep it open both on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Of…

We don’t allow things to happen anymore.
We don’t allow life to be amazing because we have too many obligations.
We don’t allow ourselves to fall in love because we could get hurt.
‘Hate’ is a word so strong and yet we use it freely in our conversations. Sure, it’s no big deal because we often use it casually…
I met an old soul on a rainy day in San Francisco.
My friends and I had spent the day wandering around but between broken umbrellas and wet socks in our shoes, we decided it was probably time to go home. So as the rain started to really pour down, we hastily…
About Startups, Life, Relationships and beyond.
Startups:
My sister texted me at 230am on Christmas Day to share the poetry she had been up writing then we wrote this one together:
Stay awake
Just don’t break
Too hard to wake
Me up on this date
Out and about
Bajé 20 kilos de peso, luego subí 20. Pasaron solo dos años de este cambio y desde entonces he entendido tantas cosas de mi cuerpo.
No me molestaban mis kilos de más, pero siempre quise deshacerme de ellos, por lo que fuera -al final creo que las razones sean culturales, sociales, etc. son las mismas que forman nuestra…
I met Kate and Paul in Vietnam a while ago. They both quit their jobs in London beginning of this year and decided to do something incredible.
Heute ist der 24. Dezember und ich sitze bei 20 Grad in der Sonne am Strand und schaue auf das weite Meer. Ich denke mir “Endlich!”, denn seit gefühlter Ewigkeit — genauer gesagt, mein ganzes Leben lang — hatte ich mir vorgenommen Weihnachten und Sylvester im Warmen zu…
There’s this girl. She’s simple. A handful, a bit of a roller coaster, but simple. Not about that fancy stuff, just a down to earth girl.
She’s (overly) passionate about what she loves, opinionated and annoying. Constantly apologising for getting excited over the…
แสงไฟนับหมื่นนับแสนดวงกลางแยกราชประสงค์คงเป็นสัญญาณบอกเราว่า เทศกาลแห่งความสุขได้เวียนกลับมาอีกครั้งแล้ว เทศกาลที่เราพร้อมใจมอบความสุขให้แก่กัน ไม่ว่าจะเป็นของขวัญ รอยยิ้ม หรือแม้แต่คำพูดให้กำลังใจเพียงเล็กน้อยก็ตาม
My apartment in San Francisco is humble, but this is fine because I rarely spend time inside. It’s my sanctuary to simply reorganize my clothing and rest my head. The majority of my life takes place outside the walls of my little, clean abode. I’ve fallen…
On a medium that could allow me to “free form”, that is. But that has always been pushed away from my line of sight, simply because…
“I have better things to do.”
Life is an accumulation of moments: seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years, but it…
There are fourty-two muscles in our faces that allow us to nonverbally communicate a variety of different emotions.
Eran casi las nueve de nochebuena. Mientras todos estaban alrededor de la mesa, con los molestos villancicos de ese viejo disco de Cecilia Echeñique sonando de fondo, yo seguía a medio vestir pegado en una repetición de 24 como si la bomba que busca Jack Bauer fuera lo único importante…
Finally back after a long pause! Apologies, first of all, for not staying in touch with any of my readers as I was having a hectic semester and the finals dawned haunted memories upon me, scarier than some Halloween costumes! But now that I’m here, let’s get back to it!!
In life everyone comes at the point where they have to make some hard decision. I have made some. I am not happy with every hard decision I had to take.
I had a photography company a year before and because of some blind trust I had to…
Aspire for the little moments in life. Those moments that make you stop whatever it is that you are doing and just focus…
Gatherings Alone
It’s been a quieter while since I’ve had the chance of a gathering in the holidays.
As a young kid , my mother and father would take us over to grandma’s house to share and celebrate many special days…Christmas and new years were to me those two special dates I would look forward to.
No, but repetition strengthens memories. Choose wisely ☺
A Letter for my Future self:
My very first post will be a letter to myself 2 years in the future basically checking up on my self making sure I am brave, bold, resilient all while growing and budding into the beautiful individual I know I will become.
Suddenly after 3 month’s of breakup i finally had a stroke of heart saying enough i am done, its no use trying and if it is than is it worth?
People do annyiong things in their life they are quite into the ocuurings and wish that things line up as they want them to…
A wonderful piece. My family wondered why I was tearing up.
It was Christmas Eve last night, and I watched that old movie with Jimmy Stewart called ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’. And it does what it always does and makes me think. It makes me think about life and living, about God, and about how people choose to act and treat each other. So it makes a…
You are a writer.
If every day you devote time to your craft;
If you systematically eliminate distractions so that you can focus on one thing;
If you burn with a desire to be better at your craft every moment—
Any situation that you are made uncomfortable in or have to deal with new information will create a lasting memory. That’s why we don’t remember our daily commute but remember the time we were chased by angry geese as toddlers. Traveling creates uncertainty and a feeling of new information every minute we spend outside of our comfort area, house or city. It’s an awesome exercise for self growth and empowerment.
Thank you for writing this blog and help me know that i should appriciate more their work.

Asómate a la ventana y respira el aire tranquilo, apacible, del Veinticinco. ¿Qué hay por hacer además de mirar los restos de la fiesta de Navidad?
Today is December 25th, 3 am. I remember those days when my father was alive. We were the ones with the dough and Christmas party were always in out house. Everybody gathered here too eat my mom’s Christmas dinner and to exchange gifts. Now, more than 20 years…
I don’t agree I love ekhart tolle ‘The power of now ‘ and his theories on the value of not thinking .The neurotic chase for money power world domination is part of human kinds malaise a sad sugar dummy for personal growth and adding value to the world .Bigger Better More unnecessary ! a success is to achieve a peaceful soul and not to turn into a hungry ghost .
Life Lessons Learned From Asbestos
Did you know that in the some states you can legally take down asbestos yourself if you are a homeowner? You can. And it hurt to type this. Or lift my arms. Tomorrow is going to be a fun challenge.
I’m the modern day Spartacus, call me a rebellion, the bringer of rain, I reign from trails and error, things you can’t bare, do you care to realize that I, the king has risen from the ashes, the dust of past, dusk of last — — place, me in a position to win and I will fight to…
Integration not competition is what makes a marriage lasts forever. I you chose the man who is compatable to you, you will find that adapting yourself to him will not take too much effort. On the other hand, if the man felt your sincere efforts to adopt, he will meet you in the middle of the road.
Talent to see the beauty
It seems to me that every successful or I`d rather say happy person should be thankful to somebody who has a gift to notice beauty all around.
I reminded the moment when I had a walk with my relatives one wonderful summer night. We were walking and discussing…
I loved your analysis. I lived the frustration with you. And you’re right. You can’t change without communicating it. And you can’t do such a sudden shift in a flow. At least pave the way for it gradually, and of course it is better to do a whole complete studied shift and not just a few forced amendments on machines that do not support such new…
Lhiza turned 27 last Feb 21. I had a Certified ScrumMaster course on that day, so we decided to go to work. We started the day with breakfast at Jeepney at InterContinental Manila. No pictures, unfortunately, as both of us weren’t fully awake yet. She then went off to work while I went to the course.
I understand your point of view. You would notice that I didn’t direct the article at the religion, rather at the blindly religious.
Well written, I could visuslize the people, expressions & emotions while reading. And the best part is way the feeling was characterized as ‘something like Love’ and not love.
Do you know it occurred to me when reading this story of betrayal ,life ruin and rebuild that many actually could envy even the problems that beset you .they are on the scale of normal no one escapes their nemesis .each of us has something that will bring us to our knees and that’s different for each of us. I have discovered. Facing the problems when…
Thank you for this excellent read! It felt like your words were describing the perfect guy I have had in my mind. The best part about your article is that it can be applied to all relationships in one’s life and I have had the good fortune of surrounding myself with such people. I can only say that my life is better for it.
That really made me laugh.
I am obsessed with reading and writing ,this obsession boost me to put a dent in the universe.
A gift is your fullest attention,Making other people more important than material things.How many gifts can you give today?
Great article! As people grow older they are more conscious about making mistakes and become more impatient.
Learning from mistakes will grow the person
That’s a life motto.
But I found out that not only traveling, but being in the places that truly make you happy, will also make your time incredibly worth.
I’ve been on the road for two year already, and looking back to all this time, definitely, there are places I’d stay forever and get as much…
Thank you for sharing , Merry Christmas Brian
Unrelenting anxiety has bombarded my life. I’ve lost my job. I’m to lose residence presently. Selling everything I own. There is no way to take it with me.
I have gone through everything I own to see what it is that I value. I don’t own much. The items I would like to keep I’ve loaded into my pack. Already its too much to…
I learned everything I ever needed to know about the world by the time I was thirteen. Needless to say, it was not anything complex, profound, or important, because a thirteen year old figured it out and proceeded to forget about it in less than half a decade. The fact of the matter is, the world, and everything in it, is terribly simple and…
WE need more messages like this to help reduce the paranoia gripping the world. This also addresses the ways to solve many different socio-economical inequalities, the one I see at work is managers stealing employee’s achievements right under their noses and making 3ice the salaries for keeping the low morale. I am stuck in a rut but family needs…
This is a blank slate
About my life….
My life have been difficulty. I just want to upgrade myself to let my family & my love one see one day that I will have a future for my life. Hope I get what I want in my future one fine day. 😃

Everything we do is an exchange. An exchange for our time, energy, and abilities and sometimes maybe all of the above.
When you say “yes” to one thing you’re also saying “no” to another and being that you have a finite amount of time on this planet, both things are crucial.
“It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re seventeen and planning for someday, and then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today, and that someday is yesterday and this is your life.”-Nathan Scott
The update got me thinking about how I really need to create “thinking time". Thank you!
Christmas Eve. I’m not religious but lately I’ve felt a shift in the way I perceive Christmas. As a child I experienced Christmas as an occasion with a deeply religious undertone. I remember lighting advent candles and the table in our front room that housed the…

I’m the same way and I have to reflect back on things about my persona as well. I want to make 2016 a better year for myself and really put effort into making it happen. Every start of a new year, I always say “This will be my year.” But when it came to really changing certain things, its never been a full 100% This time I will put forward that…
