Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact. Henry James
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Marie Curie
Our lives are like a candle in the wind.
Carl Sandburg
Life is short but there is always time enough for courtesy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our life is what our thoughts make it. Marcus Aurelius
Where there is love, there is life. Mohandas K. Gandhi
Live your life and forget your age. Norman Vincent Peale
A useless life is an early death. Goethe
The truth is always exciting, speak it, then. Life is dull without it.
Pearl S. Buck
Love does not make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Franklin P. Jones
The goal of live is living in agreement with nature. Zeno
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. Bertrand Russell
You make a living by what we get. But we make a life by what we give.
Winston Churchill
Life is the flower for which love is the honey. Victor Hugo
In three words I have summed up everything I've learned about life. I goes on.
Robert Frost
Our journey begins the moment we decide to live.
A clear conscience enables us to look into our eyes everyday of our lives.
It is ironic how we device instruments to indicate the passing of time, only to use them to remind us that we do not have enough time for ourselves.
During times when we feel so alone, let us remember to connect with our Self.
Beads of happiness, beads of pains are memories that when strung together to complete the beauty of our life's necklace.

To a Dear Friend KB
The memories of the past keep haunting us
Your laughter and humor reminds us of happy
moments
You've been our side to protect us
to guide us, to love us, to appreciate us
to laugh with us, to cry with us.
your know our secrets
you are our light in the darkest hours
you are proud of us
regardless of our weaknesses and imperfections
you have a lot of friends
but ours has gone to the many tests of time
now that you're gone
we're at a lost
i know you're still there for us
and you are happy wherever you are
you left a void in our hearts
we're sad that you left
you left us with happy memories
to remember
our prayer is for strength
to be able to cope up with grief
and someday we will be together again
in that place called forever.

Reflections
This morning on my way to the office, I was rushing because I saw the dark clouds and it was about to rain. When I was already on the jeep, I started with my morning prayers until my mind drifted to other things. I was recalling the past, it has been already three years since I left MMLDC and have to face another chapter of my life.
It was not easy for me, how I missed my friends at MMLDC. Some have already resigned have gone abroad. I remember my last day in MMLDC when I don't want to have despedida but still good friends prepared one great despedida for me. I shed so much tears on that day, tears of joy because of what I have heard from my officemates when they grilled me with I should say loving and kind words, and tears of sadness because I will leave them behind and facing another step of my life. My first few months in my new office was so lonely, even if I have already friends there. I got sick, but still I have to force myself to go to work because I don't have a reliever. I ate lunch alone and I can't even swallow the food I'm eating, I tried to hold back my tears and have to be strong. My boss always checked me if I'm okay. And now three years has already passed and a lot of things had already happened. It was a blessing in disguise because I'm closer to the place which I can't live without because it's the place I was born in San Juan.
It's like being back home where my friends are.

Quotes from The Notebook
I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours.
The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds and that's what you have given me. That's what I hope to give you forever. I love you.
The best love is the kind that weakens the soul, that makes us reach for more, that plants fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever.
Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. Thats what it's like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt that you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me love like that has happened only once, and thats why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it.
I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.
