Can I not be me for just a day? I don't think so.

Does it ever occurred in your mind? Be somebody or be gone for just a day? Honestly, I've been thinking about it a lot, especially at times when I feel like I am in a big trouble. It's like some sort of a break, an escape from the reality, my reality perhaps. I always wish that I have the ability to freeze the moment, scream so loud and let it all out, then after I've calmed myself down, I will push the play button and let everything move again.

But I am not that person, I don't have any power, I am ordinarily plain as day. But want to know who I am? I am the person who's got tons of back-ups who will always tell me to go on when I feel like I don't want to move on. They are my power, my support system, the ones that I will never lose. No expiration. Always available. And of that I will always and forever be thankful and happy about.

So when you feel like giving up. Remember that you have superpowers! They are the people you love and love you back. Your family, friends and of course, GOD Almighty!

fear for the unknown

Wise men will say that only foolish people worry about the future. I have attended many talks saying that what's important is the present. I would like to believe that, well I really do believe that we should live for the present while preparing for the future. But sometimes, its just frustrating to not know what's going to happen next. It hurts like hell when you finally realize that the fear was already swallowing what you are and what you want to be. You're scared of the fact that you might regret things you didn't do to make your future worth living.

Live for the moment.
Live like we're dying.
Live.
Live like it's your last.
Live without any fear.

Maybe I should learn how to take it easy. To never fear the things that I can fix. To not let future circumstances affect who I am. Let God do His wonders. Let HIM be. After all, life cannot be lived without living, without breathing, without learning, without fear, without pains. GOD is GOOD and we are all living witnesses of that.

So smile, Ann! Cheer up! Life is beautiful. Your future is beautiful. With GOD, there's nothing to be afraid about. :))

Our Not-So-Little-Anymore Angel

Yesterday, I was taking my usual "lazy afternoon" nap when my niece woke me up wearing a 5-inch heel shoes. I asked her why was she waking me up and she said,"Tita, suot mo sakin to." she was holding her blue blouse and pink shorts. And I was like " bakit?" then she said, "Picturan mo ko." So I was her photographer that day while she was striking poses like she's not a 3 year old, daycare student little girl. So to see what the heck I am talking about, below are her America's Next Top Model poses where I played the role of Nigel Barker the photographer.

Self- Empowerment

Nothing is impossible.

You.Are.Amazing.

As. you. are.
Stronger than you know.
More beautiful than you think.
Worthier than you believe.
More loved than you can ever imagine.
Passionate about making a difference.
Fiery when protecting those you love.
Learning. Growing. Not alone.
Warm. Giving. Generous.
Quirky. Sexy. Funny. Smart.
Flawed. Whole. Scared. Brave.
And so, so, so.much.more.

Be Strong. Be Confident. Be You.

People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed only if
there is a light from within.
