Thought For The Day About Life Novels & Stories

I chuckled as I only realize it now. "Hindi lang pala ako sa pag-ibig tanga, pati rin sa buhay na mismo," I joked and laughed. I looked at Joem, he's just listening to my rants. "Ang unfair ng buhay, ano?" I asked. "Hmmm, jealousy really made people mad," he answered. "I'm sorry if life had been a little too harsh to you, but I promise you, this will pass someday, and I hope when that day comes, you'll reminisce your downfalls and just whisper to the wind how thankful you are for surviving it," he added as he looked at me. I smiled at him and nodded.

Ang tagumpay ay tungkol sa pagmamahal at sa mga oras na magkasama kami, kahit sa mga simpleng gawain at araw-araw na buhay. Isang Linggo ng umaga, nagdesisyon kaming magplano ng isa pang family day. Tinutok namin ang atensyon namin kay Elias at kung paano namin siya matutulungan sa mga bagay na mahalaga para sa kanya. “Mahal,” sabi ko, “ano kaya kung mag-plano tayo ng mas maraming araw na ganito, na walang ibang iniisip kundi magkasama tayo at mag-enjoy?”

KABANATA 13 IAN’S POV They always say that life is unfair and that having a bad day is already a bad luck. But for me, experiencing such phenomena is a blessing in disguise. Because if we try to look into it, there is a reason behind why that phenomenon has happened to you or why did you experience it. That is what I always believe in. Lumaki ako na walang ibang iniisip kundi maging isang positibong tao. Kung bakit kahit na maraming balakid na ang nakakasalubong ko sa daan ay hindi ako nagpapatinag. I focused on surrounding myself with people who give nothing but positive vibes to my life, because I don’t want to live a meaningless life.

masayang sagot naman niya na siyang nagpangiti na rin sa akin. Alam ko naman na tama at may punto siya. Na hindi natin alam ang mangyayari at darating ang araw na mawawala rin tayo sa mundong ito. Pero ang hirap lang kasing isipin ng gano’n. I mean, who would to think of such depressing thoughts, right? No one!

“I’m sorry. Natakot ako na baka mawala ang mga magagandang bagay na mayroon ka. Naisip ko na tama si Maurice, magiging magulo lang ang buhay mo.” “It’s fine. Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. The beautiful things in life are not things. They are people and places, memories, and moments. Dean, you are one of those beautiful things. So, let's do our best until the end."

One minute I'm nervous the next minute I'm happy na sa sobrang saya ko naiiyak ako. I still can't believe that today is our day. Not only our wedding day but at the same time our parents' death anniversary and our birthday. I know my wife is not celebrating her birthday the same as me but today I want to celebrate her existence. I want to celebrate her life, because she is my life. There are so many reason that I will celebrate her. She mean every thing to me. My wife is my life... "Parating na yun, natutulog pa daw kanina sabi ni Nana."

At ang totoo, gusto ko na itong tapusin bago pa dumami ang madamay. “Hindi ito tungkol sa pagpili mo, Moreya,” mariin kong sagot. “Ito ay tungkol sa buhay ng lahat ng nadadamay. Sa bawat araw na pinapatagal mo, may namamatay na tauhan, may nasasaktan. At ayokong dumating sa puntong pati ikaw… mapahamak nang tuluyan.”

"Oh well, kung ano ang mangyari bukas, mangyayari." Napag isipan ko na, I would rather have a life of Oh wells, rather than What ifs. Natutunan ko na, too much overthinking can make me loose so much opportunity kaya dapat tigil-tigilan ko na rin, wala akong mapapala sa kakaisip sa mga bagay-bagay na hindi ko naman dapat pinoproblema.

Hindi na kasi katulad ng sa mga bata na halos sa laro at saya lang umiikot ang buhay. I realized that life is not just about being happy; it's not just about getting what you want. It is about striving each day, even though it is tough. It is about learning things not only from your own perspective but more from His'. Each new day is a challenge, but knowing that tomorrow is uncertain is much harder than any other battle that we have to face. Yes, there is no guarantee in this world. Maaaring makasakit tayo o tayo ang masaktan. Magtagumpay tayo o mabigo.

Nalulungkot ang nanghihina niyang mga mata. "Things happen when you least expect them. You shouldn't be regretting your life choices. Instead, cherish them. Either they were the worst or the best. There's no more point of regretting. Move on from the past and look forward to the future. That's the best you can do to enjoy your remaining days," I said. He then looked at me and smiled. "Seems like you know a lot about life." "I am no expert. I just know how you feel with your situation right now. I knew the feeling of something about to end and you can't just do something about it. All you can do is to live everyday and wait until your last breath comes."
