THE BOOK THAT MADE POSITIVE TURNS IN MY LIFE

"The Purpose-Driven Life" by Rick Warren made a really big impact in my life when I read it. Sounds cheesy but when you get to pick up this book at a time when everyone is against you & at a time wherein you can't fight the demons inside you this book is the perfect read.

If you feel lost & in doubt don't hesitate to pound on this one. It brought light in my life. I believe it will do the same for you.

GIVING UP MULTIPLY

I love my Multiply site. Before I even went active on posting blogs here I was active & everywhere in Multiply. But I guess I was struck with dementia that suddenly I cannot remember my password for that site. That site had a lot of mementos & all that I can do now is stare at its lost glory. I don't know if I will still be able to remember my password but better yet save the pictures & articles I have there before that other personal site goes awry. Bye Multiply. For now.. until I remember my password or maybe hire a hacker to retrieve my password. Sigh.

CONTENTMENT

Everyday I receive surprise text messages from long lost friends asking how I'm doing & I reply with much excitement & enthusiasm that I am doing good & very happy. Then they reply back with a sad tone "buti ka pa?". After that they'll ask what makes me very happy.

And the big answer? There's actually no secret. It's just being contented with the things & stability I have.

A few months ago I've been wondrin' what will make me happy & feel fulfilled. I had my goal notebook filled with plans & lists of things that could make me happy however it doesn't seem enough. Although I feel focused I somehow still felt lost.

After transferring to a new job which actually is not that different from my previous job I realized the answer to my question. It's being CONTENTED with what you have. Working with humility & simplicity with the things you are blessed of. I just realized how many opportunities I have wasted just because of asking too much but now God made me realize happiness is really from within. It's about working out things that you now have to further propel your life.

I believe that's the main reason why now I have always been smiling & positive about things.

STAND BY FOR A REVAMP

It has been a long time since yours truly haven't connected with you. It has been almost a year now. But of course I never intended to neglect my love for the written word. With this Sijiro will be chronicling again soon. Just stand by. And since I have regained my normal life surely this part of cyberspace will be once again alive. Very alive actually.
