98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

though a well recognized fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living entirely off his monthly state pension of 80 euros and the kindness of others.

spiritualinspiration:

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
― Mother Teresa

I insisted on putting make up on her. It was a special day, and I wanted her to look pretty. For every “stop it, you’ve put enough already”, I keep on telling her “stay put! let me finish it!” My mom of 43 years old was always complimented that she looked ten years younger, and I could not agree more. I started putting foundation on her.Up close to observing my mother’s face, I witness that apart from the vibrant, young framed photograph on our dresser, inevitably my mom has aged. I thought my mother’s skin was smooth, but as I touched it I began noticing the wrinkles. Her eyes looked tired -she told me she woke up early to do a list of chores.

It was only then that I started noticing the past years, and I know all the aging was because of us, her children. I started reflecting upon myself, how fashion, self presentation and my daily make up was a daily ritual for me; I have been living in the superficial. Here, I was sitting across a woman who could care less about how she looks, because the only thing she cared about was the happiness of her children.

Youthfulness and beauty will not last forever. We slowly wither away, and to dust we shall be once again…

And just there I have witnessed true beauty, that doesn’t wither, but strengthens, grows, and touches another heart.

I used to think that I want to live life to the fullest. Try everything out, while I’m young. It’s so easy to leave everything behind and focus on myself. My mom will not stay in this life forever; she is not getting any younger. It’s a reality that I have to cherish every moment with her; and put efforts on making her happy, even with the little things, such as making her feel like the most beautiful thing; she is to me… I only want her to be happy.

~~Happy Mother’s Day~~

Today one of my pet dogs died

Wed, 08 May 2013 10:03:38 -0400

I particularly didn’t like him apart from my our other dog because

1) he wasn’t trained. he kept on scatching things like our furniture, even our car.

2) i didn’t raise him.

And as he lied lifeless on the ground with eyes that showed no soul, I recollected thoughts- that sometimes i din’t like him, sometimes i didn’t mind, sometimes i would pet him because i felt like he needed the love.

Another scene painted my brother- who was crying because he really loved the stupid dog. It didn’t matter if he was worthy of love and respect- my brother loved him.

It just felt unreal, that at one point as I am close to facing a corporate career I wouldn’t survive if I had the sincerity of my brother. “Respect is earned”, kept ringing in my head- which is obviously not the truth.

Hello guys. This is one of those nights when I appreciate my no make up face. Sometimes, I don’t like looking at past pictures of myself. It reminds me of how I wanted to look tan, and so I would always tan myself to the point of burning my face. Look at me nowww discolored and uneven ( you can’t see it in the picture) Sometimes I feel so fake when I put on bb cream or whatever, but I mean…whatever. I live in the Philippines. It’s burning my too-pale-not-built-for-this-weather-face. I shouldn’t compare my face to other white people who live in countries with cold weathers that do not damage their faces. Long story short, I will love myself even if I grow ugly.

On more important terms, I’m lazy to put my artworks here on my blog, since I have a minimum audience. I hope you guys appreciate that I only write here or put my personal pictures/experiences. I have some draft writings that I will publish i don’t know, maybe later or tomorrow…

Please like my facebook page- it’s not about me, but more of my artworks :) I did that page last year but I never published it because I was afraid people would think I’m egoistical. One day, I was randomly researching on “how to be a successful art director” which I aspire to be someday. An article said that you must use social media to expand, and so I eventually published it. Hehe.

I still do not have a job. Some of my friends are in advertising firms, being an art director, assistant stylist- all the career paths that will evidently lead them to being very successful. And I’m here, being a bum. But the Lord tells me to take my time (you’re judging me already, right? “yeah right she’s so lazzyyy” but I don’t care.). And so I will. My plans of future collaborations to add to my portfolio should happen before applying to any company :)

My blog is barely exposed, and I thank the people who still read here!!! Because I actually really like writing, not this type of writing, but type of writing when I’m “in the zone”; feeling sentimental, serious or spiritual. I love you all (even if I may be talking to only two people right now) :) I hope some of my writing will inspire you, one way or another :)
