5. Full of mistakes

"If my life is full of mistakes, I'm glad—because my mistakes lead me to you."—Jun Yongao

I struggle each day to live life. Decisions have to be made and actions taken. I made lots of wrong decisions and done lots of wrong actions. But all of these have lead me to something worthwhile—my friends, especially Dustin and Mervin. And I no longer want to make mistakes; because I want to keep them.

4. You'll get it if you work for it

"Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it."—Jeremy Taylor

Everyday we pray. We ask God for many things. We ask for spiritual encouragement. But often we ask for things such as good grades, a great job, a happy family and enough money—but these things doesn't come by miracles. These things can be achieved or gathered if we strive to get them.

"The love that lasts the longest is the love that is never returned."—William Somerset Maugham

I guess this one is true. There's such thing as deep love that needs no love in return—and it can last forever.

2. I won't change a thing

"Accept the pain, cherish the joys, resolve the regrets; then can come the best of benedictions - 'If I had my life to live over, I'd do it all the same.'"—Joan McIntosh

In life, we all have our joys and sorrows. Along side happiness; full of mistakes and regrets. But there's no great sorrow, no unbearable mistake, and no distasteful regret that will convince me to change a thing. Because I want to keep the friends I have.

1. A kut that can either make or break this blog...

"Ayokong mag-asawa; anak lang."

"I don't want a wife; just a son." Call me crazy but I'm living by it. I don't think that I'll be able to tie the knot. I'm very much satisfied with the two former students that I consider as sons.
