I Thank You.

Giving thanks to the Lord, on this day. 

For my health, life, family, friends and my smile, I thank you.

Lived to see another birthday, yesterday. 

And hoping for many more to come. 

Today is the first day of the rest of my life, 

I promise to keep on keeping on!

I Believe

I can see it in the stars across the sky

Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
See I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally I believe

I believe in the impossible

If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream just fall apart
you see I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Cause anything is possible 
When you believe.

Your love, keeps lifting me higher.

Soar

Keep on believin' 

all the dreams inside of you 
And don't stop achievin'

Let's keep risin' to the top 

Give it all you got 
And we don't let nobody stop us"

St-Valentine 2009

"You can't always get what you want.

But if you try sometimes you might find,

you get what you need."

Be Optimistic

"You hear the voice of reason

Telling you this can't never be done

No matter how hard reality seems

Just hold on to your dreams

Don't give up and don't give in

Although it seems you never win

You will always pass the test

As long as you keep 

your head to the sky

You can win as long as you keep

your head to the sky

Be optimistic"

To live

"When one door closes, another opens" 

A part of him died on 01.17.09 and a new person was born.

It's gone, all gone.

Head games,

Screaming,

Negativism,

Communication breakdown,

Social anxiety,

Paranoia

Sadness, 

Tears,

Issues, 

Failure, 

Depression,

Pain,

Confusion,

It's in the past, it's yesterday, he chose to live.

Hold On

 "A quitter never wins - and a winner never quits"

Hold on, hold on,

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Hold on, hold on,

I want the world to know, got to let it show.

"Hold on, I'm coming!". 

His-Story

Whomever shall win, on November 4th 2008, 

may he bring peace: 

to my soul, 

to my country, 

to this world. 

May he open the path for peace until the end of time.

Heaven will have to wait

It's like he waited his whole life for this one chance

It was going to be him and her on the dance floor

Because they only had one dance

Double the pleasure 

Double the fun

And dance forever ever and ever.

What went wrong?

Still clueless.

September 23 2008

There's an ice box where his heart used to be. Somewhere his heart turned cold, somehow her hair became more important then his call.

Never gave up trying. Silent cry, too tired of fighting.

He apologized, giving up on his love would meant give up on himself.

Silent nights, still missing her much.

Running on empty

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

Nobody's gonna slow me down, 

oh-no, I got to keep on movin'

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

I'm running and I won't touch ground 

Oh-no, I got to keep on movin'

Px4 words for success

If life was a sport, named basketball, I would be Michael Jordan, who once said: "I have failed over and over in my life and that is why... I succeed". Like MJ, I have failed over and over again at my life's buzzer jump shop. But my time to succeed will come 'cause I have never stopped "trying".

Passion, plan, practice and patience are my key words for success.  

Forever my lady

Smile
though your heart is aching
smile, even though it's breaking
when there are clouds in the sky,
you'll get by if you smile
through your fear and sorrow
smile
Light up your face with gladness
hide every trace of sadness
although a tear may be ever so near
that's the time you must keep on trying
smile
what's the use of crying?
you'll find that life is still worth-while
if you just
smile

Dare to fight

"Hey, don't ever let somebody tell you… 
You can't do something. Not even me. 
All right? You got a dream… You gotta protect it. 
People can't do somethin' themselves, 
they wanna tell you you can't do it. 
If you want somethin', go get it. 
Period."

-- Will Smith "The Pursuit of Happyness"

One step forward

Brother, don't wait until it's too late to ask for help.

No man is an Island on this Earth. We are there for you.

As you share your joy and your sorrow, a door will open soon after one will close.

Never give up the good fight

Just when you are about to give up against life's obstacles, whether it's financial, love, personal or family oriented, tell yourself: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll stop fighting". Keep delaying the end, you just might find solution to your problems the next day. If not, wait until the following day or night as you keep the good fight alive.

"Ain't no stopping me now, I am the move." Yesterday, with a smile, I received a letter at my doorsteps that reminded me that anything was possible if I truly believe.

Secret to advancement in life: "Each day, dare yourself to try something new or something that scares you in succeeding". Whether it's a call to make, people to meet or places to be. Do what you must and be bound for glory and we shall meet at "The mountain top".

Dare yourself to try

Courage is an essential key to success. 
Dive, head first, in your life's passion and learn how to swim to your destination.

Ain't no stopping me now
