chasing the last #sunset of the year. (“,) #traditions *bursts into song* “it’s just another new year’s eve, another night like all the rest… tonight’s another night to start again.” lalala. :) as i look back at the year that will soon be over, i ask God for the graces of gratitude (that i may look back with appreciation and joy), forgiveness (that i may let go of unnecessary and unwanted baggages), and hope (that i may look forward to tomorrow with love and generosity). amen. (“,)

"i am very fond of sunsets. come, let us go look at a sunset now."

—-

“one day,” you said to me, “i saw the sunset 44 times!”

and a little later you added, “you know—one loves the sunset, when one is sad…”

The sun is shining,

It’s a lovely day,

A perfect morning

For a kid to play,

But you’re got lots

Of bills to pay -

What can you do?

Your work real hard

And the pay’s real low

And ev’ry hour

Goes oh, so slow

And at the end of the day

There’s no where to go

But home to Avenue Q!

You live on Avenue Q!

You’re friends do too.

You are twenty-two

And you live on Avenue Q!

You live on Avenue Q

You live on Avenue Q!

kapayapaan, hindi karahasan;

pag-asa, hindi takot.

noah: well that’s what we do! we fight! you tell me when i’m being an arrogant son of a bitch and i tell you when you’re being a pain in the ass! which you are, 99% of the time. i’m not afraid to hurt your feelings, you have like a two-second rebound rate and you’re back doing the next pain in the ass thing.

destinations are an illusion. “when i grow up…” “when i get that promotion” “when i buy my dream house…” they are no more than signposts along the way.

we are pilgrims, travelers on the way, and all we have is the present. let’s enjoy it with all of its imperfection, because soon the future will arrive and we will long for the past.

let us tranquilly wait, without anxiety about what is to come or when we will arrive.”
