If there's a will, there's a way

No mother is too busy to be able to take care of themselves without jeopardizing their responsibilities and bonding time with their kids. This mother will prove you wrong if you keep enumerating all the justifications for not having enough time for exercise. Do not just check out this video, try it out for yourself and be amazed at the realization. I did, myself and that's why I'm sharing it here.

Grapes in the Philippines!

Watching them grow gives me so much energy and hope. There is life, there is new beginning. Starting things like this convinces me that all things are possible if not only you believe but you work for it. Never in my wildest dreams that grapes could grow in my country. Grapes here has always been tagged as special, expensive, and cannot grow in this tropical climate. But that is just a misconception. Maybe a lie by those who colonized us and wanted us to believe that our agriculture did not have any future, so we would depend eternally on imports. Well, that is going to change now. More and more of us are realizing the fact that we have very rich agriculture and this can make us rule over Asia and throughout the world if only we will work hand in hand to achieve it. I am leaning towards organic farming and that is a lot of hope. 

Me-time

I take care of myself by doing the things that I like to do, like music, taking pictures from my cheap mobile phone, writing poetry, mulling, thinking, meditating, just staying idle and being quiet. Sometimes it goes with it some tears, sighs. Whenever life becomes too toxic, I stay back and hold myself with my own dreamy approach to reality. Pragmatism can sometimes agitate the situation, as things can fail greatly, plans can be amended, trips can be cancelled. These things that are way beyond our control, way beyond our human capacity to comprehend. And so when it's not easy to understand anymore for me, I draw back some strengths from the deepest recesses of my being. It is there, waiting to be utilized.
