All choices become wrong in the end because, as time passes, all the things you lose become the best.

— Romance novelist Yi Shu

Once upon a time, a fortunate young man, Tom, chanced upon a deity. The deity told him, “In the years to come, you’ll have the opportunities to gain a fortune, make yourself a name, and marry a beautiful wife.”

Tom was very happy to hear all the good things coming. He couldn’t wait to live his life. Instead, he went on to lead a hard life till he passed away.

As soon as he left the earthly world, Tom met the deity again. Angrily, Tom questioned the deity, “You said you were giving me a fortune, a respectable social status and a beautiful wife. But what did I get? Nothing! Not one of them came true in my whole life!”

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it’s only seed

It’s the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance

It’s the one who won’t be taken
who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

Inspiration, thou fickle friend
Come in my moments of despair
Forcing the pen onto the paper
Forcing words from my mind

Thou allowest feelings tro go free
However sad I am,
Thou allowest my soul
To reveale itself

Inspiration, thou hast come back
Was it lack of a muse
Or lack of feeling
Thou wast pushed away

Welcome back
Thou, divine inspiration

Women from the community of Payatas, Manila’s main garbage dump, for years eked out a living by weaving bits of cloth dumped by textile companies into multi-colored rugs.

Last year, their lives took an unexpected turn after a group of young professionals formed Rags2Riches.

What were once scraps of cloths that will join the rest of the country’s garbage are transformed into useful and elegant pieces of rugs by the women of Payatas and Rags2Riches. These rugs are made in solid colors and durable cotton or brushed. Each piece went through careful weaving, quality control, and selection.

Dreams without ACTION are just a fantasy.

Sometimes you just have to seize the moment.

Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
