I am telling my story to a first year college student taking his second semester that failed three major subjects when I was freshman. He told me that I is wasted but I smile and answer him, No! it wasn’t. I value it as I learn something. When he told me about getting perfect passing grade on his exam I told him that I had that experience too. Passing and failing gives you both experience that you can use now and in the future.

It is more wasted when you pass the exam but didn’t learn or used it in your life living the present. Good for those who experience failure that knows the pain of being left behind. The past will support you to live in the present; you just have to learn from it to use them well. Your past will tell your strength and weakness.

How to live in the present?

Start giving thanks to God for having your days and to live forward enjoying His blessing. Start breathing the air and affirm that you are happy to have your life to live.

Smile and feel it. It is really hard to smile when you feel sad, but keep smiling and eventually you will find yourself happy. Sounds like crazy but try it, it works.

Don’t worry about the past; instead use them to make your day. What you have learned and experienced will help you to deal in the present. It’s your chance to make change and succeed.

Make priority and manage your time. We only have 24 hours per day so make the most of it productive without stress. Know your schedule and avoid delay and you will enjoy the result of having more time.

Express your love and share it as you have more than enough. When you give love then you receive love too.

Forgive specially to those people who ask. Forgiving It is the best way to let go of your grudges. Grudges will stole your happiness in the present, forgive and let go of your grudges.

In the summary: I just want to take note that it’s hard to live in the present when you still live in the past. There are more ways to live in the present. Think positively and you will find it.

God want us to remember Him in every occasion. He wants us to give thanks for all the blessing we received from Him. Often times we forget God when we are in the comfort zone. We did not realized that we are nothing without God who provide us all the things that we need. So we must give praise and thanks to God.

Remember, greet and congratulates your friends or family on the anniversary, birthday, or any success milestone they achieved. They can feel more successful when we acknowledge them. More than that, we can be the part of his life celebrating special occasions. Celebrate your success that time you become a better person each time. Most of the time people will expect you to remember the birthday, anniversary and success stories, that is why it our chance to make them feel good and more happy.

Special Occasion is not better to celebrate alone. It is best to enjoy with friends, family or with your sweetheart.

I remember when we went out dinner with other kids. I don’t know them and I can’t recall their names but the memory remains especially the man who brought us together to a dinner. My mother used to help Mr. Tapalez on laundry, that is why I was given the opportunity to be invited to a dinner.

From Mr. Tapalez home, we picked the other kids at Tandang Sora, near Old Balara Elementary School. From there we went to Max’s restaurant at Quezon Avenue. I grew up missing the taste of chicken we shared on the table. There was something on that day that I won’t forget, maybe it was my first time to dine with the person I only meet once and never forget. I wish I can remember the names of the other kids and the real name of Mr. Tapalez.

It would be nice if there will be a second time around to be with them on a dinner.

Good meal, good conversation, great memory. It’s what I’ve learned. If you have given a chance to treat a child or an old man. I know for sure it is a good moments to remember.

It’s good to live in this generation where you can take pictures from camera installed on different gadgets. Mobile phones and digital cameras that are rarely exist from 1970’s and below.

I only have a few pictures to kept from the past that can brought me back to remember we’re I was. Most of my photo are not personally mine, but own by whom I am with. I am with the group photo and other are form the stolen shot.

Take pictures on every place you’re going for the first time because it is nice to remember when it was. It is good to see how young you are or become sexier as of now. Take photo with different people you meet in life, its good to remember that you been with special person like celebrity and most of important friends or family.

Pictures are the evidence that you can share to people, friends, and family. You can’t bring the place where you went or the food you eat but we can took pictures of it.

Sometimes we have to trash some photos that only give us bad memories, keep only the good ones. The pictures in relations from the past love life will sometimes put some smile or make you feel sad.
