Rare Wedding Song

Two years ago, a bride-to-be asked me if we know the song, “ The Gift of Love” and of course being honest I said no. She said that this is the song she wanted sung during her wedding six months after. She just arrived from the states to fix things up. And we were the last supplier to be thought about. She would go back to the states after two weeks stay in the Philippines.

I showed her some of our rough videos and liked it. And booked us. I assured her will find the music piece. Then, unknowingly she’s gone to the states. After a month I searched for the piece but couldn't find one. I rested myself for search. After another month I received an email of the song and very happy to have one. I let my pianist play it and it’s really nice, very inspirational. Very Methodist in theme and the flow is fluid. And the melody is rare.

Then came her wedding day. Of course, we have discussed the other music selections without even mentioning the song she picked months ago. We decided to perform it during the communion because it was more fitting.

Needless to say, we brought tears to her eyes.

A Song For You

How come that when you’re alone and silence is all around you music comes to mind? As if a faint background music is joining your reverie and this is also the time where you remember your favorite your song or music. Many of you will deny that you have your favorite because you don’t want to be tagged as a romantic. It’s a universal truth that music is for the heart and it makes your world colorful as many believe. Even a beautiful speaking tone is music. Everything is music because it vibrates. Even silence has its tune, it’s calming.

These days different music proliferates and each has it’s own taste for music and they have all the right in the world to enjoy the music they like. As I do. I don’t comment if I don’t like the song or music. Sometimes, I try to listen to what I don’t enjoy listening to but I can’t cheat myself that I enjoyed it. Still, I have my brand of music.

The song “smile” is my favorite even when I was in high school. It was rarely played then or sang but still I find means to hear it even once in a month. Now you can hear your favorite song anytime you want because of the wonder of Internet. It’s a miracle at hand.

And for the first time in many years I was given the opportune time to sing it. Not that really good but tried to sing it with my heart.

The Me Inside

It is really easy to tell to yourself I am going to be like this and that and wait for the miracle to happen. It is a mere dictation to oneself with either forced belief or fancy say. Many of us do this manner and never realizing that there is a technique to gain from the fruit of believing of the you and the me. The ease of telling to yourself that I am great. I am rich. I am happiness. Very easy, indeed. Not knowing that it is not the right way of doing so. Only believing that the one imparted to you to do.

I, myself find so hard to affirm something. It is very easy to just silently say to myself an affirmation still not knowing the secret of doing so. Still, practicing perhaps the secret but most of the times i fail. I know there is a missing link. I know that there is still important ingredient to make fruition of what I ask. I keep finding out day in and day out. Maybe, I have weakness inside. Maybe, I am not really true to what I affirm. Maybe, I can't still define the true meaning of self-affirmation.

But I am recovering from my weakness. I am trying to feel what I think about myself. Only the positive enters my mind. Only the good is foremost at hand. Yes, I am really feeling it out and trying to muster with much emotions. I am beginning to act it out. I am beginning to realize.

Come and Manifest

Manifestation in the universe is a tremendous task to understand. We see everything around us in all forms, shapes and sizes and we don't give much attention why these fabulous undertakings took events. We are so busy with other things never realizing that every tiny little thing is a manifestation from a collective mind, just to say safe. But each of us has the power to do just that. Metaphysical science speaks about it in different ways trying to confuse your mind first to go on reading their bestsellers not knowing that even just a single knowledge can be expanded in any dimension. That's the working of the mind. Well, i am sure you are aware that hundreds and hundreds of metaphysical science books, occult books and similar books that deal with the mind, healing and otherwise are plenty. They deal with verbiage. They expand too much. They tell repititive stories and examples. They tell so much not directing you to the most important portion for your mind to grasp easier. They confused you because they are sometimes unbelievable. It is like reading a fairy tale. The truth really is, a fairy tale come true if you know how to use the knowledge.

The first thing to consider and all of you know that imagination plays pivotal role. The very first thing put across. Everything in the universe is a manifestation because imagination played the leading role. It is easy to say this and that but nothing happens. You want to expect a miracle when imagination ensues. To your dismay nothing happens. At least, you did your part. Then, you are fed up and think no more, never considering the importance of what you're thinking. It seems an impossible dream. You want immediate result. That is not so. The stronger the imagination is, the possibility. I am telling it's possible and all of you know but pause for awhile and consider much more. Just simple imagination is not hard to do and the next thing to do is the deciding factor whether your dream comes true.

Feel what you are thinking, as the saying goes and that is the secret. Just like that. But how is the intensity? An Indian Guru is a master of the trick. A meditative man, too. They know how to use their minds. They can focus on one thing and concentrate. They can do that. How we wish we can do the same but some of you can, i know. I am not telling that when you use your imagination and put feeling to it and presto! there it comes.

Wait. If you really followed the two steps - imagination and feeling I'm sure everything follows. But again for the second time, wait. Unexpectedly, there at your doorstep. Unknowingly, it happens.

when it comes

Unexpectedly, a news came and I was aghast because a day before, my mother-in-law was so exuberant and full of glee and all of a sudden she's gone at 7 a.m. in the morning of Feb. 20, 2009. It was so unexpected and I came to realize that demise is a trick. Either it eludes you or not and you will be just surprised when it comes.

She is 85 years old and this Feb. 21 is her birthday. How come that many deaths happen when their birthdays are near? How come death arrives when an unusual bliss is there?

I was close to her, Mrs. Rosalina Dantes. Whenever we needed help we run to her. When we paid a visit she fed us with the best food ever because she was an excellent cook. I've learned some cooking tips from her the reason why i am a good cook, too. Actually, better because of her secret cooking tips and learned from the heart.

I think her death is a gift. God didn't want her to suffer any longer because she was suffering from an illness. Letting her go means we love her so dearly.

I know she has a place in heaven reserved for her. Bon voyage mommy!
