I often wonder why they say take two steps forward one step back. When people ask me what steps I'm going to take, well, I don't like taking the steps, it's tiring. I'd rather take the elevator if it's available but I'd rather walk.
I don't know anyone who walks by taking two steps forward then takes one step back. That's kinda weird, isn't it? When I walk, I just walk. If I get tired, I sit. I stand up again then I continue walking. Running is rarely an option for obvious reasons especially for a lazy and curious person like me. I only run when it rains hard because I love dancing in the rain too!
Walking lets my usual curious mind wander far.
Walking allows me to see the beauty of everything around me.
Walking allows me to meet a lot of people along the way.
And walking is the best companion of Talking. There's nothing better than walking while talking with anyone walking with you.
The best part is, it's fun and healthy too!
So like my many usual fine lazy boring days, I'm gonna take a walk.
Because walking will definitely get me somewhere.
And that somewhere is usually a place interesting.
Besides, who ever said walking can't get you up there anyway?
"Talk is not CHEAP. It's FREE. Just walk and talk. But if you do the talk and cannot walk the talk, that's CHEAP."

Two Directions.
We were given two directions to take.
The LEFT and the RIGHT.
If we choose to go to the left, we will only end up going in circles.
If we choose to go to the right, then it is RIGHT.

Talent is a Gift.
Talent is a God given gift. For those who try to achieve the same talent will acquire a skill. People with talent do it because it has a purpose and fun!We were all given gifts. And like any other gift, it is meant to be opened, savored, used and shared to all. And of course, we have to thank the Giver. Thanks Dad!
Happy Thanksgiving Day to all!
Seven Days of My Week.
"I thank the Father for a SON-day...
followed by a MOM-day...
Then it's my CHOOSE-day then
it's gonna be my WEDness-day.
I'll have THEIRS-day...
Then it's my FREE-day!
Next is just a SAT-TURN-day...
'Coz I can't wait for another SON-day."
A Father.
Three things that a father should teach his child.
One, Not to Die.
From the day the child learns how to walk and talk, a father should teach his child the concept of danger. The consequences of falling, fire and other avoidable situations or accidents that may cause death.
Up until the child reaches the age of 12, a father constantly reminds his child that not knowing the end result of any decision or action may lead to undesirable consequences. The child should know that when in doubt, it is unwise to just try or do it. It is wise to just ask.
During the child's teenage life, a father teaches his child how emotions and pride usually get in the way of a person's better judgment. Immaturity causes irrational decisions and it will always have severe consequences. In the midst of danger, walk away.
The day the child turns into an adult, he should already know the basic rule of how not to get oneself killed. And that is by listening to his father. He would have learned already the importance of humility and the value of life that his father gave him.
Two, How to Live.
Up until the child becomes an adult, a father should teach his child what he needs to live. By being a good child, a good brother or sister, a good friend, a good relative, a good citizen of the community and a good child of God.
With those important values, he will never create enemies and his life will never be threatened. He will create a strong family bond, friends and allies that will make sure he lives. Through humility one receives honor. With honor one earns respect. With mutual respect comes love. This is how one sets his own principles in life. And integrity is built around the principles he lives by.
Three, How to Love.
By teaching the child not to die, the father has already shown the child how much love a father has for his child.
By teaching the child how to live, the father has already taught the child how love is given and how love when given is given back.
The child now knows how to love himself, his family, others and God.
With love everything else follows.
"The basic social unit is a family. And trust is the foundation of a family. Your lives depend on it."

The Master of the Universe.
God is not only the greatest inventor, He is the greatest artist I ever know.
He painted this world so perfectly by using just three primary colors.
Yellow like the Sun, Blue like the Sky and Water, and Red - the symbol of
Love and Life.
Using His artistic talent, He mixed Yellow and Blue and it turned Green.
He went on mixing Yellow and Red to create the Sun. Thus, the breathtaking view of sunrise and sunset. Combining the Sun, Water and Air to create the plants, trees and Life.
He was so amused He mixed more colors to create violet, pink, brown and the rest, thus we have the beauty of flowers and the grandeur of nature.
Then He simply signed it with a rainbow.
"A masterpiece by the Master Himself. He is the Man. The Master of the Universe."

"I got it from my Dada!"
Letting my usual imagination wander far off, it brought me to our Dad's favorite spot beyond time. Maybe He was alone and it was dark, so He said,"Let there be light!" He was so pleased He went on creating air, land, water, nature, sun, moon, stars, animals and us. In the end, He probably sat down smiling while savoring the beauty and magnificence of His creation.
And then?
I don't think Dad is a real workaholic. He is GOD. So my common sense tells me if He is a workaholic, then why does He have all the saints and angels do the work for Him? In fact, He even sent His only Son.
Now if I was God, looking down now with what has become of my creation, I would just snap my fingers and say, I'm just gonna do it again. But then again, I'd think if I did, then I go back being alone in the dark. So why would I? That would just be wrong. Needless to say, the immensity of His love for all His creations is unfathomable. So maybe that was it! I guess by now, we just keep Him constantly entertained by our decisions and choices especially on those that we did and still do to His masterpiece. More entertained by the fact knowing that we are clueless of what's beyond. I bet He is a humorous Father.
I know I am not God. But then again aren't we all made in His image and likeness? In fact gifted with this thing called conscience?
Do you even wonder why it's even called Conscience?
Con science -- against science. It is something science can't explain. It simply knows what is right and what is wrong. Science will never have a mathematical solution to the equation of what is right and wrong. My common sense tells me there is no absolute solution to it. Because there is only one that is absolute - Him. And He is the only one who can give complete absolution.
"I think therefore I am...confused. I keep on thinking therefore I am...stressed. I am stressed therefore I think. I am therefore I think there is a God."

"Did Curiosity Kill the Cat?"
Do you ever wonder why they say, "Curiosity killed the cat?"
Well, I grew up wondering about that.
One, I don't think any cat will be that curious to put oneself in danger.
Two, who's cat got killed anyway because it was that curious?
Three, curious about what?
Curiosity gifted this world with great minds and thinkers.
Their curiosity obviously did not kill them, because common sense should tell you, they are not cats.
But I'd rather be a cat.
I cannot only see in the dark, I can sense paranormal activities, run fast, jump, climb up the trees, swim the river and lakes, be lazy all I want, then I have to 'prey', And they say I have nine lives too! That would have been close to purrrfect!!!
And now that I've decided to be a cat, being my usual lazy, curious and bored self made me think why they say,"Boredom Kills". They said my curiosity killed me and now my boredom killed me too? I would have been double dead. But since I'm still alive, common sense tells me that boredom definitely kills. It kills time.
And it makes my curious mind wander far.
Far enough to think that someone just like me was probably being his usual lazy, curious and bored self one fine day.
Take Newton for example. What was he doing waiting for an apple to fall when he could have climbed up the tree and get it? I think he was probably lazy, curious and bored enough to analyze why the apple fell. Thank goodness his curiosity didn't kill him and his boredom didn't kill him either. Still alive and kicking, he thought to himself, "How on earth did that apple fall from that tree?!!!" And so that one fine, lazy and boring day, now we know that there is such a thing called gravity.
Somehow the gravity of taking a break creates great knowledge to serve a greater purpose. Don't you think? ('',)

Ignorance is Bliss?
I often wonder why they say 'Ignorance is Bliss'. When the definition of bliss is state of profound satisfaction, happiness and joy, a constant state of mind, undisturbed by gain or loss. I cannot imagine myself in the middle of a conversation not being able to participate simply because of ignorance. That obviously will not put me in a state of satisfaction, happiness and joy. The words Ignorant, Ignoramus, Stupid, Dumb, Dimwit and Duh will constantly resonate in my head.
If knowledge is the key, then isn't that awesome?
I take in all the world’s new information as God’s way of telling me to utilize His gifts. Aren't we all equally equipped with the same amount of brain? Do we all use them fully or at least equally?
No analysis required or deep thinking as a prerequisite. It’s just being open to all the wonderful ideas, scenes, moments and people out there. We are free to observe and relax while we watch life unfolds in front of us and around us. All information whether new developments on technology or science especially past experiences and current situations are all part of our development in life as a person.
Ultimately, I believe it's our Father's preparation for us when He asks, “What have you learned as a Human Being?”
My answer will definitely not be, "Ahhhhh...Duh??"

The Great Minds.
I think great minds are playmates from another dimension trapped in a time warp on earth. Deliberately got sucked in a wormhole because they were just effing bored and curious. Then they all realized, "That trip inside the wormhole was awesome!!! And damn, Earth is such a huge playground!! This is beyond cool!!!" Then they all started singing, "I wanna, I wanna, I wanna do it again!!" But then again, they were all lazy to do anything at the moment.
So I'm wondering....are you a playmate too? ( ",)

My Life.
"My life is like a box of chocolates. Nobody knows where it's made. It comes in all shapes & sizes plus it's colorful too. It doesn't matter if it's black, white or brown. Sometimes it's bitter, but usually it's sweet. More often than not, it's full of nuts! But aren't chocolates made in Heaven?"
