You might contest that life is complicated, yes it is!!! True, life is indeed complicated, life does throw us trials and obstacles and we sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed with problems, but it is our destiny to raise above all those. There is a need for us to experience all these, because only then we can see the beauty of what life has to offer. How will we know what happiness is, if we don’t know what loneliness and pain is all about. If one day you wake up unhappy, try to put a smile in your face, be happy that you are still alive. If you feel that your day is gloomy do not feel alone, just remember that there is always a reason for every season in our life. As the old saying goes, when a door closes, a window will open for you.
WE ARE MEANT TO BE HAPPY, that is our destiny 
Note: Whenever I am down, I always scribble my pen to write something inspirational, something encouraging. I will read it over and over again, until it will sink into my senses. This is a practice of mine ever since I am in college. Unfortunately some of the poems and inspirational anecdotes that I have written were lost. When I got married, this practice has been forgotten for a while, but now I am going to practice this again. Writing can be liberating, it is a good outlet for my emotions.
You bet, I am down right now, the reason why I wrote this is to uplift my spirits. Others may find it weird, writing something encouraging, when you’re down!!! Maybe I am a real weirdo, but it does help me.
I am very sorry if you find me sulking in despair this days. I have many things coming in my mind. Lonely (‘coz I miss my hubby so much & I want my family to be together, but reality is he really needs to work overseas to give us a good life, what a price to pay…huhuhu), hopeful (that we may be able to pursue our dreams of our family to migrate or even accept the family status given by my hubby’s employer) and so, so stress/pressured in work (see my post
Ang Hirap nang Namamasukan ) . But ofcourse, I have to put a brave and very happy front when I am with my kids.
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Philippians 4:13
i agree that God meant us to be happy. sometimes He allows us to be sad though. this is so that we can savor and enjoy happy moments better. cheers
If I were you I’ll accept the offer for a family status, you’ll see the difference. The kids are growing fast, they need a father image. Walang stress dito..speaking thru experience.
I totally agree with you Ka Uro
Ann, we are already considering, kaya lang ang hindrance eh ang pag aayos namin nang papel for Australia. Ako ang magcocollect nang mga requirements n hubby sa Pinas
Ann, but ur blog really makes us a second taught in considering the family status. Kc narealiaze ko na pwede rin palang magkaruon nang normal na buhay ang mga kids sa isang bansang tulad nang saudi.
my hubby is also an avid reader of ur blog
Hi Cielo,
Your strength amazes me. Keep it up woman and I’m sure you’ll pass all these hurdles in your life.
I often wonder how most Filipino families live apart just to support their families. Hmmn..maybe I’ll blog about this… Read my blog na lang when it gets updated..
hi leah, thanks for wishing me well.
life is good! even if we experience “downtime” once in while…life is too great to be neglected. we are here to be happy
regards Cielo.
ate cielo.. di ka naman bibigyan ni Papa God ng problema na di mo makakayanan..
stay happy.. at kaya nga ginawa ang blog, para mailabas mo ang iyong nararamdaman..
ingatz po!
korek ka dyan jairam.
Karmi, salamat bunso. buti nga may blog noh at least may venue nang mga iba’t ibang klase nang emosyon na mararamdaman natin noh
oo nga, di naman tayo pababayaan ng Diyos.
I totally agree. Our destiny is to make us happy not only in material things but also in other aspects in life such as family, friends or specifically happiness with our loved ones. Life is complicated but if you see things differently, it’s not. Life is full of surprises and everything little things can give you happiness. Even sunrise makes you happy and gives you a positive energy where you can channel to other people.
