Much has been Given, Much is Expected

Back when I was home-schooled. I had to joined different learning groups. One group for sports indoors and also a different group for sports outdoors. Another for music, a singing choir, and theater arts. I believe, no parent would give anything less but an excellent education.

One may think I had different mentors for a group but not really. For most of my mentors they were multi-talented. For example my sport coach was also my musician. Looking back as a youngster, I cannot help but aspire to be like one. Someone, who knows a lot.

One afternoon I had asked my mentor, 

"Oh! How great must it be, to be like you! A musician, an athlete, professor, a teacher and even a friend?

My mentor simply said these words,

To someone who receives much, much is also expected. 

During those times those words didn't made sense. 

Today, it makes a lot of sense.

Overwhelming Surprise!

Sometime ago, I met the mother of one business partner. My first impression was that her mom's face seemed familiar to me. It reminded me of a classmate that I had admired back when I was elementary. You know that 'crush' thing. So, we chatted about my proposal to her mom. The presentation went well. Afterwards both, mom and daughter told me they are heading for a singing practice. 

I recalled that my crush happened to be a good singer. During free class activities our teacher would ask her to sing. It dawned to me that she may perhaps be that classmate. 

The next time we met I had the chance to check if my speculation was true. Surprise, surprise! She was indeed the same person.

Back then, she was typically a shy talented singer in front of our class. 

Fast forward today, she is the opposite. She had change a lot. She's into sports and handles a team.

Friend, what is my point. Your crush today maybe your super crush. Haha... (Nah, that maybe a skin deep reflection)

Life is full of surprise and miracles. Everything happens for a reason. The people and events around us are there for a reason. We may not know it at present but in due time it shall be made known to us.

You are booked for greatness,

Matters of the Heart

They say majority of Filipinos are emotional.

Most cry when watching a Teleseria (Filipino Television Series)

But I guess everyone is emotional.

Whether be a man or a woman.

Why? Because we are after all human beings.

We are moved by emotions more than logic.

Emotion creations motion. 

How have you been using your emotions to help with your daily living?

Back to School

Today, I went to the school to visit a classmate who is now a teacher.

I was happy to see classroom filled with students at the first week of classes.

There were lot of teachers on the field, of course.

As always, my heart is thankful for the love they give.

Just a reflection came to me. Coming from a corporate world for the last years.

I felt there is a lot of things that needed improvement in terms of facilitates... ahem!

How I wish I can donate... haha (By the way, if you do know of someone who wants to donate. Please let us know. We would gladly to receive it.)

Just for example, having an LCD project or TV for multi-media presentations.

Well, I am not totally an advocate of e-learning but I am afraid it is where the future is heading.

Are we ready for change? It may not be in school alone but change I believe is one thing constant.

How open are we for it?
