Understand that you will never have a satisfactory explanation as to why bad things happen.

Take responsibility for your own life including your thoughts, actions, inaction, fitness, health, happiness and sense of fulfillment.

I may have lost along the way, stumbled and fall but I am not broken. Regrets? Never. It's only a matter of learning from the experiences, good and bad, I came across with. What matters most is how I get up and face what lies ahead.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.

Hello December! Where are you Christmas?

It's the most wonderful time of the year, so they say. And it's officially Christmas in the Philippines, but mine has yet to come. I do not know if Christmas will ever be the same again, back when I used to celebrate it with my family.

I miss Christmas! I miss my family!



Where are you Christmas?
Why can't I find you?
Why have you gone away?
Where is the laughter,
You used to bring me?
Why can't I hear music play?

My world is changing
I'm rearranging
Does that mean Christmas changes too?

Where are you Christmas
Do you remember
The one you used to know
I'm not the same one
See what the time's done
Is that why you have let me go

Christmas is here
Everywhere, oh
Christmas is here
If you care, oh

If there is love in your heart and your mind
You will feel like Christmas all the time

I feel you Christmas
I know I've found you
You never fade away

The joy of Christmas
Stays here in silence
Fills each and every heart with love

Where are you Christmas
Fills your heart with love
