Impeccable

Nothing is sweeter than the fruits of your labor.

Sweat for the sweet, sweet.

Writing True

Through Humility and Grit

AinaBalagtasLeave a comment

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success?

Harsh it may seemed; but, it made me realized,

I’m not all knowing that gaining skills and knowledge is never too much.

Most importantly, it taught me grit

That instead of giving up in times of trouble,

Push harder until you get there—

‘Cause you would get there.

Love Is Never Wasted

AinaBalagtas4 Comments
If you can count the sands, then you do know how much I love you.

Plans may go awry,

Promises may be broken,

People, lovers may grow apart—

But love stays.

Proof, see your inner beauty;

Your pleasing attitude;

Your warm affection with friends and family;

Your caring ways for others.

I never see love,

Not in kegs,

Nor in bins,

Neither in baskets!

Mine,

I have to close my eyes

To find it’s right here in my heart,

Beating strong as ever.

I’ve Lived My Life To the Fullest

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

Every penny is well spent.

Every minute is well lived.

No page unturned.

No regret.

And I am grateful for everything.

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

I don’t live in a material world.

Nothing is indispensable to me.

Maybe I need my organs

To keep me alive;

But even if they fail too—

And I face death—

I am ready to end my journey on earth

Anytime, anytime.

After all, we’re just passing by, passing by.

Grit, Grit, Grit. . . and You Grow

AinaBalagtas2 Comments

What experiences in life helped you grow the most?

In the toughest moment of my life,

When I was alone and with empty hands,

I realized the hero in me

That I have the power to change the status quo.

Through humility in acceptance,

Perseverance and determination,

And grit when thing are tougher;

More grit, grit and grit when it’s toughest—

And you grow defiant of fate.

Snob Them Not

The crocuses are

Beautiful and distinct

Don’t snob. Look closely.

Nothing is ugly.

Every beauty is unique.

Don’t snob. Look closely.

Do you enjoy your job?

I love every minute of it.

Like a bee to a nectar,

Like the sun to the sky,

Like a melody to a song,

Like a rhyme to a poem.

I love it to the bone!

God, I so love my job!
