Moving on...


It’s been a while since the last time I wrote something in here. I only have few entries and by golly, all of  them are heartbreaking. That was December 2010, let’s fast forward to now…….

Life is being nicer to me now. I guess, life’s challenges will always be there. It’s the only constant thing in this world and how you deal with it is your own game. If you let it defeat you, then, that will be your end but if you let it in your life, go with it – you win some, you lose some -, then you might just be heading to a better you.

You can always get by with a little help from friends.

More than just financial, it’s their inputs, their experiences, their words of encouragement that will help you fight even the most challenging situation in your life and win your game. Friends will always have answers, since they see the other side of the box and you don’t.

Above all, PRAY. It helps. In fact, at the end of the day, that’s the only thing we've got.
