Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone. -The Dhammapada
"The most important thing is not to be bitter over life's difficulties. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won't be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in darkness and despair, remember - its only in the black of the night that you can see the stars, and those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble to fall... Because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing things that scare you most."
Like a river that flows endlessly
My thoughts carried to eternity
Believers are nowehere
Contradictions are everywhere
Why was I treated like this
What actions did I miss
Forgiveness at this time I can't make
This time, it should be me, for my sake
If they say or does not
It doesn't matter...
I'll pray to the Lord...
that's all I would do.
2:00AM, walang tulog, taga na van, adik na mga kasama, panis na chowking, apat na litro tubig, day pack, pitch kunwari, tulog sa ground sheet, Oh shit! literally, daming baka, daming shit, bulalo sa mahogany, aldente na tawilis, saya sayang lakad. masayang samahan, masayang akyat. masayang tropa. walang iwanan. |
