1. I've learned that not everything can be learned. For example, I've been playing basketball since I was 7 years old. Until now, I still can't make a left-handed layup.

2. I do my best to never complain about my job. My job is not my life, and this job was not created for me. It's nothing but a give-and-take relationship.

3. I am a man, but i cry. I cried when I found out that my first love was in love woth someone else. I cried when my girlfriend left for another country. I cried 2 weks ago as i talked to my mom over the phone. I cry because I am a man.

4. I don't mind spending one whole weekend sleeping, as long as I have one of my nephews and nieces sleeping beside me.

5. I try to get involved in too many sports, and they all frustrate me because they all make me realize how unathletic I am.

6. Except for one: scuba diving, which is why diving is my passion.

7. If I had an element, it would be water. I'm not a good swimmer, but I love watching the sunset while floating on my back in the water.

8. Because I live for the present, I'm a great procrastinator, but it's okay because tomorrow might be the last day of my life, and someone will eventually take over.

9. Work is just a means to an end. Life is more important: being in love, nurturing relationships, spending time with family, giving back to the community, being at peace with yourself and with your God.

10. I never count my achievements because I do not think of them as my own. I was just fortunate, I guess.

11. A couple of weeks ago, a friend gave me this title: Prince of Quirk. It really made my heart smile.

12. I do not believe that there are such things as bad decisions. It's all a matter of perspective.

13. I am an engineer, but I love to write. I love to paint. I love poetry. I even try my best to make sculptures. I hang hand-painted masks on my bedroom walls. I am an engineer only because I used to get high grades in Math. I am an artist because that's who I have always wanted to be.

14. Never let a spark of brilliance slip away. Write write write.

15. I have 3 nephews and 2 nieces. All of them think I'm their Godfather.

16. My bedroom at our family home is a mess. It is infested by ants because of crumbs, candy and spilled milk. The floor is a hazard because of loose toys. The sheets are stained and smelly. And I love it because it tells me that the kids love staying in bed with me.

17. At one point in my life, I stopped dreaming of becoming wealthy. Not because I can't be, but because I shouldn't be.

18. My life's defining moment came when I visited hunger striking farmers. it made me realize that my love for God and my love for my country are one and the same.
19. A perfect day should always include spending time to play with kids.

20. I've been a Ginebra fan since I was 8. I think they have the worst record in basketball. I'm still a Ginebra fan because Loyalty is one of my values.

21. I'd carry my camera around with me at all times, if I could. I love being able to recognize and capture the magic in what seem to be insignificant moments.

22. People think I am weak because I am too kind. But then again, it makes me strong inside.

23. I don't think I can bear the sight of any of my loved ones dying. If I had a choice, I would like all all of them to to outlive me, even if it means I would have to die young.

24. When my first nephew was born, I used to watch him sleep for hours. The idea of a newborn child having the almost the same flesh and blood as mine, was simply too amazing for me to comprehend.

25. A lot of times, usually after a poor game of basketball or badminton, I try to think of things that I'm really good at, things that will make me "the go-to guy." I still haven't found one. Maybe all I'm good at is thinking.

26. I love watching the sunset. I don't know why. I just do.

27. Romantic love is not for everyone. It is a gift, which means we can be happy even without it.

28. I've learned that one can fall in love a million times, but true love is about choosing one out of a million, and sticking to that choice.

mommy g, one of the few people here at work that i can relate to so well, sent this to me. this is a letter she wrote for someone who, once upon a time, was the one and only man of her life. until another one came along...

This is not easy for me to write. But considering that I was half awake the entire morning because of all these thoughts running around in my head, I really feel that I should send this.

I got to thinking that a lot of people would disagree with what we share. But in my heart I know this to be right. That we are where we are (in spite of the awful timing, if you will) because there is no other place and time where we should be. We met when we did and came together when we did because that was when we were most prepared, most ready to be together. Right or wrong, I truly believe that.

Thing is, I have never been in a situation like this before and I find myself in unfamiliar waters.

Truth be told, I just want to make you happy. I want to be there for you -- I want to be the one who wakes you up with kisses in the morning and the same one who kisses you till you fall into restful sleep at night. I want to be the one you rush home for and the one who makes you smile when you think of me during the day. Simply put, I want to lay the world at your feet -- or to be able to try to do so, at least.

Do not get me wrong. To be in love with you is a decision, and one that I made after coming clean with myself and being honest with what I was really feeling.

The reality as I hold it to be true is that we are meant to be together. In the deepest recesses of my soul, I hold this sacred. And that is why choosing you, even it meant giving up my family, is the only thing I was ever completely sure of.

I may be, at times, a very juvenile and very emotional 26 year old. But as you may have glimpsed, I have also been toughened by the years and have become a bit
of a hardened old soul in some respects.

That is, until you.

I had nearly given up hope of ever finding someone I could really be myself with. But you came into my life when I least expected it and I realized a very important truth: that when you meet the person who makes your heart sing and your spirit soar, you don't turn your back on such a precious gift. When you find the person who makes you want to become better than who you are now then you know this to be nothing short of extraordinary - a miracle of the most beautiful kind.

One does not need a lifetime to know the beauty of what we have discovered and to realize its value, its true worth.

I do not know what happens after this.

All I do know for sure is that I love you.

And I will hold on to that for the rest of my life.

===========================================

Note: "What happened after this?" you may ask...

Well...

Mommy G is now a 28-year old mother to a beautiful baby boy.

And happily living her dreams of forever with the father of her child -- the same man who was the inspiration for this letter.
