knowing ain't enough

knowing ain't enough. it is only a step to renewal, just a step to change. in other situations, knowing only hurts and only burdens.

there are a lot of things going on inside my head. there are a lot of things in life that i learn and have learned. they're very helpful and reflect the truth, but still nothing [or a lot does not] happen[s]. it just implies that knowing isn't enough.

life is very complicated, too complex for instant change. even God teaches the value of time in his ways. knowing isn't an assurance of instantaneous change, and if not, change itself.

we shouldn't overlook the more important things, the goodier things. we don't really see a lot of times which things are for us, which things that are best for us instead of what we want.

it is the end of the day, this is what i have come to reflect with.

Assets and Liabilities~~

I've learned a lot about financial education. I have realized what Assets and Liabilities are. I have moved out from the thought that they're just boring subjects in accounting. Now I know how IMPORTANT they are.

I began reading this book entitled "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", written by Robert Kiyosaki, a rich Entrepreneur, Investor and Educator. He really have given a big amount of knowledge input to my mind.

With what I've learned about assets and liabilities, I saw it's relation in real life, not just the business and financial world. It's just the same as valuing people, and valuing what's inside rather than the outside beauty of a matter. Also, valuing the more important but seemingly 'boring' things in life, rather than the 'passing pleasures' in this world.

I have also learned a lot with decision-making, related with speculating a matter if it is a good choice or not. Though, in our Christian life, speculation is not always the appropriate practice because even if something doesn't seem too good, or seems hopeless, God does a big miracle, like He always does.

It has a big scope in our lives, everything seems connected in life, like how I saw a connection with this one.

I'll write a review about the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" after this, and the game "CASHFLOW".

Human Ways

I'm an individual. Speaks for itself, cos I am alone. How humanly. I ask myself why human ways are so easily wronged? They create laws so fallible, you'd hate them. You probably know what happened to me so that I could say these things. NO, you're wrong, they're not the entire reason. The entire reason is LIFE. Life's no joke. I teach myself to learn the way how things in our ever-changing, difficult and complicated world work. Kids laugh their bellies about it's issues that they hate to know. They refuse knowledge. I thought they were supposed to learn? That they have 'young' and 'teachable' hearts? You might say that the world is turning upside-down. Human systems are reversing, working the opposite that they should. When you become older, you know and know more, and there you learn, it seems. That's not bad, though. The only backfall of that matter is when you learn after all the misses, after all the strength wasted where you should've used it for the things it was meant to be used for, to help others and more things in this world that you should know. It kinda hurts, living in this world when you don't see joy, when you're just normal and ordinary, living with ordinary men and women. That just tells, you gotta be different. It is a call. More than different, you gotta be correct... See what I'm saying?

*Laughs!* Hahahaha! This is really dumb! :p lol

Mat Emo

Just being honest. Gusto ko mag-emo right now. Dami tao nagsasabi bakit daw ako KJ, mayabang ang dating, laging nag-iisa when really wala naman talaga akong ganung thought. Just staring blankly. Pero now that I examine myself, I feel really emotional. I feel afraid and anti-social.. Pero I like and love friends naman.. Choosy talaga ako sa friends

Hurt

I'm hurt and I can't move
This ache I could not remove
This feeling in my chest
It's piercing my heart endlessly
Without blood but I'm dying slowly

It makes me weak if I think
Of what you've done to me
It makes my heart beat fast
I couldn't catch my breath
Even if I breathe carefully

I'm probably losing conrol of my sanity
Who's even there to catch me in my misery
Right now I just want to catch a deep breath
That it would feel okay
And even for a second forget all the pain

The memories, they get harder
Cemented on the walls of your brain
They won't break and soon
They'd just turn into gold
Like fear you have in a nightmare

Find me somebody who could save me
Find me somebody who could cover me with love
Bind the wounds of may shattered heart
Put it all together and make me new
Give me a new name so that I wont remember

This is a hard choice
All just points into losing
I hide back to the deep of not knowing
But I ask who's that bright light
Staying with me even when I was in the dark

Sacrifice

If you want to hurt me, its okay
Go on, do it cause I can handle the pain
To the point were there's no more blood left to spill
Were I have no more flesh to tear
Were my body's full of bruises everywhere

I will wait for you to be done hurting me
Those wounds would scar but it doesn't matter
It would only be a memorial someday sooner
Of the sacrifice of love that I have made for you
Cause truly I'd do that, I'd die for you

Only Just A Dream

Nothing can compare to those time that I hear you laugh
And hear your joyful voice
How much more in reality would I be able to enjoy it?
But how sad it is to say that
You're only just a dream

Captured

Oh you have captured my heart
It is yours to make or break
But even if you break it
I would still make it up to you
Because of course this is true
That I love you

Truth

Secrets untold, you make them unfold
Cos no truth is hidden in the sea of mysteries
Evidently it will appear for its own pleasure
It is made of the light and will ever be pulled towards it
No matter how hard you try, in the end it would all be softly revealed
And the truth won't hurt anymore
Inside, there are a lot of things to consider
And it would all cushion the blow
Only wait for the moment, for the season
Be patient with the whole length of it
And never let yourself go on until it does what it does best
To let everyone know
Cos even if you'd drown it in an ocean of lies
Those lies would only turn to be darts of poison to your skin
And you'd realize you don't really need to bother hiding

You know my secret?!?!

Haha, other writers know how to write, and what makes us/me write! Hahahaha, am I guilty or not??? Waahhh!!!

An Open Page

I am an open page, a page in the book of your life
It is time for you to write on it, to create my story
But would you leave me blank, would I be invisible?
Would you just pass me by and leave me, instead, unopened?

One thing's on my mind
I'm a different page
'cause I have hands of my own and I create my own story
Let me create the best of it in your life

If you would try to ignore me, I'm gonna do it
I'm gonna get your attention
And am I gonna do everything to make the best out of it
And I have learned from the experience

I knew then that I am the one who should stand tall
Until you're strong enough
Until you're not hurt anymore
Until you're convinced and surrendered

Well I am gonna wait, but I won't wait idly
I am gonna catch your heart in every glimpse
I am gonna radiate among the crowd and make my own ink
So that as a page, I am complete, ready for you to read

You're gonna figure out in the end
That even though I am an unopened page
Even though I am not yet said
I am the only page that makes your book...

Screw Love

Love? What is it? Let us ask ourselves what it is. Let us look at how it is used and misused just about everywhere.

A couple sleep together to screw one another in the dark of the night. After their shakes and sounds, they ask each other, "who are you, what's your name anyway"? Their faces freeze like they've seen a ghost after the passion, and they begin to catch an idea of what they have just done.

Is that love? Of course, they both introduced themselves and told things about their life, but is it enough? They hardly know each other and make an excuse. They say, "we'll get to know each other anyway". What's the sense of doing it? It's like they're trying to say that they should know one another because they love each other. Not like the way that people know that they love the other and they know one another. What an excuse. They're building the non-existent, a nothing.

But, what is love anyway? All I know and all I can say is, it was there even I was born. It definitely cannot be found in the sensations of the habits that people has built up at night with another person that they hardly know or something else. It is clear that what they are looking for are toys, not love and joy. It's hard to put it in their hearts if you're not with them, if you're not involved. Unless you get involved, unless you teach the person firsthand what love is, they would be clueless [if not for a miracle].

I do believe that love also comes as a package with forgiveness at instances, right? Let us all learn and try to seek out what love really is...

You did it again

Once again, you've made my day!
You've put a big grin on my face that I just couldn't explain!
Thanks for being there even if you're far away :p

Lose my Identity

I ask myself who I've turned into
Since the day I met you
A lot of things have changed
Including the things that we do

It seems like things
Aren't the way they were before
Situations get more complicated
Each moment that we breathe

I ask myself whose fault is this
Have I really hurt you?
Or something unexplainable
Just happen when they do?

Things are full of uncertainty
They seem too far from reality
I see today that things around us
Just aren't what they used to be

I thought we should be happy
But look at who we are now and try to see
Look in the mirror, not just at me
Some chains were definitely set free

Why is it like that
When we get nearer each other
Odd things happen
When we get closer and closer

Chance wants me to suffer
With such great loss
To either lose you or myself
It's difficult to decide

I don't know the reason
Why do I have to choose?
Is there a better option
Where nobody needs to lose?

I'm strong enough and I
Dictate the threshold of my strength
I know after this we'll see
That we've been through far beyond the sea...

Forgotten Love

I would repeat it over and over again
To make you remember of the forgotten love that we shared together
I would turn you back to who you were before
Before you turned into someone I don't even know
Nothing can take you away from me
Nothing can change the way you are to me...

A Lost Child

I see you and I know that you are a lost child
A child who ran away
A child with no place to stay
A child who forgot what home feels like
A child who's scared, afraid to go back

But I came to find you so that you're not lost anymore
I came to find you, leaving what I have home
I came to find you, knowing your life is precious and fragile
I came to find you so you'll find your way back

Ransom

I'll pay what it costs even if I have nothing but myself
I'll take the bruises, and the blame just to ease up your pain
I'll share the load so that you would stop thinking that nobody cares

I'll be your ransom even if it means death
I'll be your sub when they beat you for your mistake
I'll sell myself to pay your debt and your bail
I'll do whatever it takes to free you from your hell

I'll cry tears of blood praying for you
I won't sleep at night thinking of you
I'll sweep every street corner searching for you
I will restore all the lost feelings just to bring you
Back to a place that you can call home
