When you wake up one morning and you only have a single piece of fish to eat. You scrounge up all of the coins lying beside your bed and find that it is enough to buy a pack of instant noodles or pancit canton. That, my friends, is the perfect example of the elements of my life working together. It is luck that allowed me to live yet another day of nightmare and poverty. Sarcasm aside though, I'm lucky to still be alive. It is my choice to go through the day and look for ways to improve the quality of my life even a little. And I do so... everyday.

Just the same goes with work. It is by chance that I was accepted to work. Knowing the kind of person I was before, I never thought I would even land a job again. Life has it's way of giving me chances to improve myself. It gives me a chance to prove to the world that I can survive on my own. I can do things better than I have done before. It is my choice to improve myself. I chose to continue working and helping others with their work. I chose to serve... and I happily do.

In life, it is by chance that you would meet somebody who would make your heart skip a beat everytime. You might not notice it. You might not know the exact answer but there's always something that attracts you to that special someone. It just so happens that this person becomes a very important part of yourself. He/She becomes your other half. There may be others who are more attractive. There may be others who are smarter, wiser.. But you will choose to stick with the one you love. For me, it is a choice to continue loving that important person in your life. I chose to love... and I've never been happier.

That is what love is all about. That is what life is all about. Chances and choices. Both are elements of my life. Both are intertwined and inseperable.
