Life is Like a Wheel

Who would have thought that Charice will be that big as she is right now. Hers is another Cinderella story. It is just that, her prince is no one but her talent. She got good breaks. Thank you also to Ellen, Oprah and David Foster who gave her some exposure. I am sure that Charice has all the money now not just to buy things that she loves like shoes and clothes but also to buy gold coins! Yes, I want to give my unsolicited advice to the young woman. She has to invest her hard earned money wisely. Since she is in the US, them might as well check out gold bureaus that could help her with a very good gold investment.

We are short of rugs. The last time we bought one was last December. It has been six months! Speaking of months, it is July already. The wheel of life is indeed spinning so fast. That gave me a wake up call since I have not finished what is in my calendar. Yes, schedule is not followed again. Anyways, I believe that I should not be broken hearted. So what if I have to start all over again?

Two days left and President Noynoy Aquino will be taking his oath as the new President of the Philippines. It was really fast for this man. Who would have thought that he will be the next president?

I just thought just now that he and President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo have something in common. What is it? Both their parents were also past presidents of this country.Idol ko si Ma, Idol ko si Pa. Mom is my idol for Noynoy while Dad is my idol for Gloria.

Every Filipino is hopeful for this transition. I am praying.

Life is like a wheel. Sometimes you are up. Sometimes you are down. Sometimes you have to struggle to get to the top again. I have watched several movies tackling about life’s up and down. One film encouraged me a lot. It gave me a certain inspiration for me to pursue my dream. It tells that when you are at the end of the road, it is okay to look back and ask yourself, is it the right path that I should have taken? If the answer is no, then it is alright to go back and start again and this time, follow your real dream. Very inspiring, is it not? I am writing this because many of my friends might be devastated in the near future. You know, the fear of losing a job. I, myself is not very safe to be saved but as my friend and I told ourselves, we put it all in the hands of the Wiser Up There. Anyways, we thought of options and of things that we could do or in the first place, where we should have really belonged to from the very beginning. One of our friends could have gone to Florida Cosmetology School since she stayed there for almost twp years. Moreover, she really likes to cut hair. She does her own cutting. Anyways, all of us are hoping for the best.

Another death in the company. She was barely 34 years old. That came as a shock to me. The more I value life. You know, life is short thus we should make the most out of it. Live laugh, cry, love. Do everything that you want to do. Be contented. Be happy. Aspire. So that when that time comes, you are ready.

I am quite afraid these days. I do not like the wheel to turn to the bad side again. Well, what am I worried about? Our finances. We are living one day at a time. We are not really in deep distress yet but I know that if we do not tighten our belts, soon, we will be back to where we were. You know, we do not come from a well off family. We are one of the members of the C or D community perhaps. Before, the classification is Upper Class, Middle Class and Lower Class. Now, there is A, B, C, D, and E. I could not say that we are among the poorest of the poor of course. That will be ungrateful for all the blessings that we are having now. I must say that we are okay. We are just getting buy. Not poorest but definitely not rich neither. Thus, I know for myself that I should think of ways on how to save money. We sort of earn then spend and no savings at all. No one to blame but us, of course. I do not have this practice of blaming other people for my miseries. I take it all upon myself. The only thing or the only person I have control of is me, right? So, what are my plans? Save, then invest. I might buy gold bullion or gold coins and anything gold in the future. Why choose gold over other metals? That is because the metal is popular and trusted by the many. Sometimes, when it comes to gold, you do not even have to sell it. Another thing, there are many known sources where you could get real gold thus scouting for it will not be a problem at all.

I really hope that my plans will pursue and keep the wheel on a steady drive.

March is about to end. One morning, we will wake up and it is already December 31st again and we will be welcoming another year again! Yes, time flies so fast. Sometimes, we could not cope up. I could not run with time. Well, time lost is lost forever and we could not bring it back. Very true, right?

Haaaayyyyy…. All I could do is sigh! Life is good. Life is good. I should always look at life as good. It could be better, I know…

So, Knight Rider is a Pontiac? I so read in one article. I wonder if all the gadgets featured in the show are also available in stores of pontiac accessories. When do I start to be interested in cars, huh? Well, this blog is about wheel, right? Driving a car is like driving your life. There are so many other kinds of vehicles driving in that road. Sometimes you have to go with the flow. Others drive carefully. Others drive so fast. Others overtake. Others take their time. The worst thing, others hit and you might be startled and even be destroyed. Those are the trials you have to go through besides the daily traffic during rush hour that you already get used to. There are rewarding days though when you feel that the road is all yours. You feel you could fly! Just like life. There are ups and downs. Sometimes, you want to stay up. Those times that you are down, you feel alone. You have to have a strong support system. That is why there are car clubs too! You know, when you get stuck at the road that you have to be towed. No need for a towing service. The club will take care of you. Your family will take care of you just like in real life.

I am planning to get my own car soon. A Pontiac? I do not know what brand yet. Maybe just something that I can afford and could really drive me through. I do not need a luxury car yet. I just need a necessity car. Honestly, I am afraid to drive. But just like life, I know that I could face it. I must if I want to survive! all I need to have is courage and determination. And, oh, of course, do not forget the driver’s license!

Life is really like a wheel. If you want to see more examples, go to Facebook and see old friends and foes. Some you will see the same, some changed…

I am glad to see friends who have moved and grown with the wheel of life. There are high school friends that I am quite happy to see ending up together. Imagine that! High school sweethearts could really have a future together. There are friends that I am glad doing well in their married life creating a good family of their own. Even those that I least expect to be successful are doing great, even greater than I do… thus sometimes, I also feel left alone…. No, I do not want to dwell in negative things. I have to be thankful of the life I have now. Yes, it might not be the one that I imagine it to be but at least, I also have a family of my own… which has always been a dream of mine. I came from a broken home thus, all I wanted is an ideal family in this life. I have one as of the moment. I thank God for them.

Hohum! It is a beautiful morning! I am still sleepy but I really have to get moving and start some exercises to get rid of belly fat. Though I know and have proven to myself that the most effective way is not to eat I do not like starving myself. Thus I have to make a decision. I will exercise, instead? Yes, that is still a big question mark for me right now. My eyes would still like to close.
