I have this feeling of writing something. However, I do not know what it is. I want to write but nothing is coming out of my mind. Wanting to write something that would interest my readers. Wanting to write something that would make them follow my blog even more. Wanting to write something that they want to hear. Something that can make them laugh. A simple smile would be great. Just like that girl, I miss her smile so much. A simple smile that really comforts me and tells a lot.
Yes, that smile, I want to see again. A smile which says, I am happy being with you. A smile which says, when I am with you I feel secure and unafraid of anything, I can conquer the world. A smile which says, you have a big part here within me, you are even contain it day by day: heart. A smile which says, I really do: love. A smile which says, you mean so much to me. A smile which says, I learned a lot from you. A smile which says, you changed my life. A smile which says, you saved me. A smile which says, you inspired me. A smile which says, I long for you everyday. A smile which says, I love you. This I say to you, I love you too.
Woooh! I thought nothing came out of my mind. It is really comforting when you cannot think of anything but her smile. Her smile shows that life is so wonderful and amazing. I am so grateful to you.
Each one has his own point of view. Each viewpoint depends on one's domestication and one's education. One's viewpoint can also be the result of how one filters the knowledges imparted to him. It is up to him to decide on what ideas should be acccepted or rejected. Independently, he has his own beliefs. But as a free thinker, he is open to self-improvement.
Read and react through your comments. Let us open ourselves to dialogue till we find the real truth we are seeking.

Thank You
Saying thank you is the first thing I've learned from my parents. This statement is being said, when someone has given you something. A simple way of saying you are grateful to the gift.
I realized that it is not only on things, or something that can be seen by our senses, by which you received them and by which you can say "thank you" in return. There are many ways other people can give their gifts to you. Sometimes, it was already given without realizing it. You felt guilty of the late realization. The sad thing is you haven't and can't tell them thank you because they are away or gone already. You can't reciprocate the gift they have given.
But it is never too late. You can still show it in many ways that you are grateful to them. You can pray for their soul, their safety, their health, their frustrations and failures etc. You can also do to others what they have done to you. You can fast. Do good things in return to their gifts, to His gifts and graces. Live a good life.
Another thing is to be grateful everyday. Be grateful to the people you meet and have met. Thankful even to the people you usually meet, in the house, office etc. A little and more sensitivity to their presence is a worth. A sense of awareness is the best tool not to forget to be grateful.
Thank you. (^_^)

Tell me, what if you are that person?
I only have ten minutes to express my feelings in this new post.
One question that pops in my head. Why do people write? I was doing this (writing) as one of my hobbies or let me say a way to express and show what I feel at the moment. A way to express what is on my mind at that time.
Going back to the question above, Why do people write? I mean them, not me. Some expresses there fear or anger to somebody. Some write because they could not tell personally to the person what they want to say. They are not able to say if they hate,or love, ect. Writing becomes a means for them to communicate. In writing they can express more clearly. They are free to tell anything without any shame, simply because the person is not present. That the person is not in front of them, so they can freely express all the feelings they are supposed to say to the person.
What then if that person reads the writings of the author. And without doubt, the subject of the author is him, what do you think would he feel?
If I am that person, I might be happy if the author's thoughts are positive about me? And I might be hurt and sad if the author's comments are somewhat sarcastic, negative ect.
What about you? What would you feel?
Oppss!!! Time is over... need to work again ...

A woman philosopher
It is great having a girl friend philosopher. I met her in tagged.com. I am amazed, knowing her as a philo student. I asked her number and we met. I know some female philosophers, but knowing a Filipina who studied philosophy, she is first one I knew. We might have different philosophies in life but we have the same way of thinking. I never had a girl classmate in philosophy in college.
Worthy and I am comfortable talking to such a philo student. We can talk about weird things. Only us who can appreciate each other's "weirdness". Only us who can understand the way things are being thought. A logical reasoning. Thinking of fallacious conclusion. I am not telling that non-philo students do not think logically. It's just that we have same world, in which and why we can understand each other. To make it clear, an engineer can talk to his co-engineer, regarding their own terminologies, so to us. I am not telling too that non-philo students cannot understand a philo student's thought. Off course they can. Philosophy is just using common sense. I am little bit proud here, but that is the truth.
Little or almost none have the inclination to study philosophy now a days. It is like Latin, a dead language. However, philo subjects are being taught to all colleges and universities. Logic and ethics for instance.
At 18 BC, there we sat and drank. I am always asking her if she is okay. since I can see in her face that she is hiding something and she seems doubting me. It was our first meeting, it is natural. Another thing, why I am asking her, if she's okay, is that I don't want her to be bored. So to break the silence, I instantly asked her if she loves watching movies. "Yes", she said. It was the start of opening herself to me. She shares me some tricks she learned from movies. She wanted me to watch the movie, "Village of the Damned". I was so fascinated with that trick she told me. She calls it, "brick wall". She practice that trick in her own style. She said, she can erase some of her memories about people she met. I am quite suspicious with the trick. It is because it is natural that somenone could not remember all happenings, experiences, things and peoples in his mind. As for me I can remember if there is someone or something which will make me remember. But to her, she can purposely erase some of her memories. At first, it doesn't make sense to me, but I am mystify with the trick. I thought of that as selective amnesia.
I asked myself, why. Why does she have to do the trick? This question was answered when that night passed. Days past and I have learned alot about her. I ask her to teach me the trick. I have searched in the net about the "Village of the Damned". I found out that the trick was made to block the external forces not to enter into the subject's mind. It is like a firewall in the PC to block viruses. For her, she uses the "brick wall" in order of erase memories recorded in her memory. When that memory is rejected it cannot enter again, is block. The trick is also a way of making the mind blank. I do not know yet the whole process but this is the idea. I might be posting it here when she taught me. There are many positive ways a person can be helped with this trick.
She is the first one I met that uses that kind of trick. I thank her for letting me feel the aura and the world of philosophy, again. The world of the mind, of ideas, of knowldge, of wisdom. What amaze me the most is that she wasn't able to brick wall me. Why? Because a person does not only have a mind, but also has a heart.
She is an amazing girl.

Prayer: the act knowing one's self
Prayer is the act of addressing supplication to a divine being, especially to the true God. It is an offering of adoration, worship, confession and thanksgiving to the Supreme Being. It is commonly of asking a favor, an earnest request or entreaty.
Man in prayer, as he is in front of Someone who is greater than him, that is GOD, will come to know his faults, mistakes and sins. He will acknowledge his sinfulness. He will come to know how his life has become so miserable. He will know how he voluntarily disobeys the commandments of God. In this way, he will humble himself to the Lord. The good thing here is that he will realize that he is a simple created being. He is one of the creatures of God.
Man at prayer does not only see himself as something small in front of God. A sinner in front of God. Instead, in prayer, God will manifest Himself to man in order to remind man is one created in His image and likeness. As an image and likeness of God, man has the responsibility to preserve that identity. Man is not only an animal, but a rational animal. Man is greater than every single created things. God will rescue man from his being lost. God will renew the heart of man from hard solid rock into a fresh flesh. God will remind the person that through the help of His sanctifying grace, he can become a saint. God will let the person remember how precious he is. Everyone of us is an apple of His eye.
Prayer is an act of knowing one's self in a way. Man will be reminded by God as someone created by Him in His image and likeness. In prayer, there is an intimate conversation between God and man. Let us pray always. Let us always come and talk to Him. He is always calling and waiting for you.
In prayer you will know who you are. You will know your purpose and your mission.
