Being born with good looks is not as important as being born with a good destiny. Being born with a good destiny is not as important as having a kind heart. Having a kind heart is not as important as having a positive state of Ch`i. -Chinese saying

I'm back here in Kauai on a working visit. I'm so glad to see my friends again.

3x5
by John Mayer

I'm writing you to
catch you up on places I've been
You held this letter
probably got excited, but there's nothing else inside it

didn't have a camera by my side this time
hopping I would see the world with both my eyes
maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
in the mood to lose my way
with words

Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy's cliche'
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
are next to mountains anyway

Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm
in the mood to lose my way
but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
just no more 3x5's

Guess you had to be there
Guess you had to be with me

Today I finally overcame
tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I'm in the mood to
lose my way but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
it brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
just no more 3x5's
no more 3x5's

There was a moment like this when he went away and to reflect, he realised that although there is a fire burning, when there's no fuel to keep it alive, the fire ceases to be aflamed.

He remembers a question she asked a while back...[thinking]. What have he accomplished in his life?

Frozen...in a moment like this. Looking back to yesterday; should yesterday be left behind? There's a presence that resembles the wind. I long its presence and perhaps it finally arrived. I will walk with that presence from this moment on.

Sweet October. What would it be like to be with the one you love the most in only thirty one days? One would wish, it is October forever.

Happy birthday to you. You're now a year older but will still be the same. Keep up the good work of living. God bless you in all your endeavors.

Ikaw
duet by Ariel Rivera and Sharon Cuneta

Ikaw ang bigay ng Maykapal
Tugon sa aking dasal
Upang sa lahat ng panahon
Bawat pagkakataon
Ang ibigin ko'y ikaw
Ikaw ang tanglaw sa 'king mundo
Kabiyak nitong puso ko
Wala ni kahati mang saglit
Na sa iyo'y may papalit
Ngayo't kailanma'y ikaw
Ang lahat ng aking galaw
Ang sanhi ay ikaw
Kung may bukas mang tinatanaw
Dahil may isang ikaw
Kulang ang magpakailan man
Upang bawat sandali ay...
Upang muli't muli ay...
Ang mahalin ay ikaw

I'm going to church this morning and it has been a while since I attended the fellowship because of my schedule. I'm thankful that the path I took yesterday led me to one of the elders and we talked story. The Lord is omnipresent and His presence is around us in the form of friends, an object, or nature.

I watched the movie City of Angels for the second time on DVD. I could remember the line, "I wonder how a pear tastes like." Life and death, who controls it? Life is a gift and therefore one must live life as if one's last day of earthly existence. The world we live now today is filled with wars and rumours of wars. Why do we have to live with sufffering? A wise man answered this eons ago. This is when you fully understood the meaning of life
