Seeing With Our Hearts Open


We look at life as simple
yet complicated.
We seek peace and solitude
yet something is there to hinder.
We love and cherish memories
yet tears are running down our face.




We laugh and smile for joy
yet sadness comes without a hint.
We travel a long road to freedom
yet fences are hidden beneath.
We strive to reach the star
yet never bother to take a step.




We try to be the best person
yet somebody will never appreciate.
We give hope not despair
yet misery and anguish reign.
We search for truth and certainty
yet pretension lies everywhere.




We learn new things and ideas
yet life has more to offer.
We rely on facts and essentials
yet instincts go between.
We rescue ourselves from drowning
yet surviving is the game.




We contradict to one's disposition
yet falsify our own views.
We agree more on transformation
yet change is constant and imperfect.
We risk something valuable
yet redeem our spirits later.





We commit offensive allegations
yet direct justice to few.
We resolve problems accordingly
yet nuisance keeps coming back.
We may not comprehend every life there exist
yet learning is an eternal process.


Perceiving the true beauty of the world,
is seeing it with our hearts open.

    You are right, I must say, we can never see the real beauty of the world and life itself if we won't open out eyes and heart for it.

    When we never take the first step, what is it? fear of the unknown? Life is complicated. It's up to you to know how to simplify it.

Lizette Turns 18 - The Opening Prayer

Image
Every milestone in life is a remarkable event... an occasion to celebrate and be grateful for. Nothing is worthier than appreciating God's blessings and praising Him everyday. Either in joy or sorrow, we close our eyes... kneel down to ask for guidance and utter our intentions. The most anticipated day has come. November 16, 2013 marked the 18th birthday of my daughter. As we shared a momentous night in her life, we offered a prayer to ask for the Holy Spirit to come upon us and bowed our heads in God's divine presence. Claire Dave Ellis The opening prayer was delivered by: Claire Dave Ellis Magos , younger cousin of our debutante, currently in 7 th  Grade at La Immaculada Concepcion School. Their closeness goes beyond being cousins because Lizette treats her like a baby sister. THE OPENING PRAYER "GOD of all creation, worthy of our praise, we are grateful for Your presence in this evening’s celebration of life. We thank You for this opportunity in

MyeDomain.info Is Now on Track

The last few days of February had been terrible due to my family's battle with contagious URTI (upper respiratory tract infection). We were all sick and the least that I can do ONLINE is to LIKE and SURF. When I felt a bit OK... I got the chance to update some of my online tasks and was able to successfully transfered my GoDaddy domain to my blogspot site, 8 March 2013, after having tried a number of times... It was a TRIAL and ERROR, because I have no idea about how it's done like the technicalities... fortunately, all my hard works paid off by the kind help of google of course.

Why Blogging?

Image
Photo Credit After almost 15 years of idyllic yet a little obnoxious stint in an office environment, I found myself in front of our computer most of the time because of my newly discovered world: the blogosphere . Well defined as the "world of blogs " or a collective whole of all the blogs in the Internet . I started blogging last May of this year and I am truly delighted with this experience. Firstly, writing is my passion though I considered myself not that professional like a novelist or lyricist, playwright or journalist. I just know how to write but I'm not any "master" of this academe. Secondly, through writing, I can convey what goes in my mind and put them in words. Thirdly, I can freely express my innermost feelings about what I see, what I hear, taste and even the most aromatic scent that can touch my sensitivity. Mye Domain will be turning six months this coming November and I am in fact very grateful for my family for being so suppor

Invading CATTLEYA RESORT

Every year,  Acierto Clan traditionally brings the whole family for an out-of-town summer escapade. We usually go to Pansol, Laguna and enjoy its hot springs but this year we preferred to go somewhere near like Antipolo. Because of our large number, we can only afford an overnight or two-day stay to any private resort.  We usually make the road trip on January to search for clean and spacious rooms that can accommodate the entire clan. Once the reservation was settled, we start the countdown This 2012, we invade the cold waters of  Cattleya Resort .  Came March 31, more than 60 of us headed for the hills of Antipolo, Rizal. Our meeting place was  Jollibee-Tikling Branch  to have our breakfast. We were the first customers of that morning.  While waiting for our orders, we took some photos. My generous cousin AIMEE who settled the resort's day-tour expense
