What is courage?


Life certainly is more strange and more fascinating than fiction, i guess one can only see his own perspective while another see it in a more different way, than most of us will ever see. I know this guy way back, very intelligent, very vigorous, very much talented in every aspect, the jack of all talent so to speak. He has this certain factor which makes him very advance beyond our generation. A man which has so much dreams, so much goals to achieve that i don't think a 24 hour day time or a life time is enough for him. He is one of the few person i look up to as we were growing. And luckily enough he became one of my best friends. His not only the most talented and gifted person i know, i admire him for his courage. You see, the irony of life is that sometimes it can give you challenges which seems to be impossible to overcome. Hoever, I've never seen a man that faces multiple adversities in life, yet he never let them gets him down. I have to admit I'm very marveled at this feat, because most of us are afraid of our own mortality that accepting them is almost next to impossible. I sometimes wish that i can carry some of his burdens for him. However, if know him better, he is not the type of person who would wish that, he would sacrifice a lot, for his friends and and most of all for his family. You know who you are, i salute you... you are one of the bravest persons I know, and I salute you... :)

THE JOYS OF TIME TRAVEL


To start of, this is not one of those science fiction blogs
Nope, this one takes on a very simple plot.. No rocket science needed on this one.
As I was coming home from work, I always look forward to seeing my baby kin (son of my sister his name is Gabby)
He removes soooo much stress off me with just one smile...
I love him so much like he was my own kid.

As I was eating at the family table one morning, I saw my dad playing with him.
And in that moment, I saw my dad in his most happiest face (his always had this poker face when he talks to me most of the time as far as I can remember).
And I was looking at him; I can’t help but wonder if that same happy face was the one he was wearing when I was a baby.

I missed the way my dad looks at me like that....
Before all the heart aches, frustration and sorrow I caused him in the span of my growing up years.

Seeing that moment when he was with Gabby, felt like a time traveling experience for me.
It was ordinary yet it was a magical moment.
It brought me back to that place, where I just have this honest joy in my heart when nothing was there
But my innocence, and my dad’s tender love...
