Second life

"A blessed day it is, September 25"

Its been two years now since the day I got a motor accident. A life changing experience I must say. Now writing this post puts me back to the scene when blood suddenly splatted out my nose the moment I regain consciousness, people forming a mob-like crowd, the drunk driver and ONA(argh!).

Much have changed from that point on. Newer perspective in life, more people met, new dreams and goals, a commitment and many more. 

Two years. A blessed day it is, September 25. All I can utter is " Thanks be to God..."

Mark it down

"Make a mark on others. Start now. Break the loop of everyday activity by inserting some difference."

June 12-that will be the Philippine Independence. Surely a double pay :) May 01-that will be a double pay as well for its the labor day. What if I ask you what significant event happened on June 01? Or at the 5:00am on September 25, 2006? You may try searching the Net and you may find some useful info but those dates did not really made any significant mark on the calendar of history.

Barely, those dates are personal to me. First, being my date of birth and the latter being the day when I got an accident. 

Isn't it wonderful to know that even once in our life we'll be able to tell someone that we have a special date that we ourselves made in history? Might seem ambitious in nature, but hey this is possible! Making a mark in history will not necessarily mean making an act to be written on books. It is not necessary to die just to make a history be marked.

An act of random kindness will surely make history to a person that received it. It will not be announced on pages of newspapers or news on TV but I am a hundred percent sure that it curved the kindness on the recipient.

Everyday seems so repetitive. Work. School. Home. Launch out. Trips. Gigs. Its like a deja vu. A routine walk of life. Why not make a difference everyday? Make a mark on others. Start now. Break the loop of everyday activity by inserting some difference. Difference will make the same day new. New to you, me and others. History is waiting to be written by you.

Inexistent

"But I affirming now that tomorrow will not be the same. I may not be known to the million but if it will take persons to the amount of the fingers in my hand whom I truly knows, then my mission of breaking inexistent is already fulfilled..."

Just this recent stage of my life am I able to feel that somehow I am able to touch people lives. Even through simple ways like small talks, advices on text or chat, or even my writing have I felt that I do fulfill a part of my mission.

I am not heaven sent to preach. I admit, I am never a good speaker. I am not a writer. I almost failed my English writing subject way back high school. I am not a psychologist. I can't elaborate Freud's theory.

I am just me. The person who experienced seclusion from the norm. I am just trying to flow with life. Live it simple. Smile with every encounter and walls. I am not a fighter, but I never was a quitter. I only do what I believe is just and true. To breathe each morning with a clear conscience and do the same before I close my eyes.

I am inexistent then. Maybe the same today. But I affirming now that tomorrow will not be the same. I may not be known to the million but if it will take persons to the amount of the fingers in my hand whom truly knows me, then my mission of breaking inexistent was already fulfilled...

Delay

"Perspective on the what you can do when the "delay" happens and not mere focus on what halted."

Delay. A negative connotation will come to your mind once ask to describe it. But hey, I love this word. Sometimes delay coming to action really can make a day whole. Like yesterday, I accompanied Mi to the airport for she came home from a quick emergency vacation. All things were set, we said our goodbyes and I am just sitting on the waiting area for her text confirmation that she's on board. Few minutes or so, she's texting asking where I am. I thought she's joking when she said that she's outside looking for me. To my surprise, there she was...

Events that happen as planned and as scheduled are good. But how will you cope if the plan did not work out as you plotted on your time table? Not good. Lost. Catastrophe even if your OC.

I guess our tolerance of patience and faith will be tested here. Versatility on whatever stimuli life gives us. Perspective on the what you can do when the "delay" happens and not mere focus on what halted. We can control most but not all in this short journey. When you get a flat tire along the way, smile. You might just meet someone who's tracking the same road you're going. Or perhaps God is putting you to a pause mode to save you from a true disaster (9-11)...

Nevertheless, if things happened, surely behind in it is a reason. For what it means? Maybe we need to delay it for now so we can see the picture better tomorrow...
