Trying...

I knew I must go home. I didn't want to. I was trying to delay the moment that I have to face the fact that I am on my own... 

For a few hours, Iron Man entertained... for a few hours I could forget...

I miss my father's cooking... the food he knows I love... i miss reminding him about the food he must and must not eat... i miss his actions of love...

I miss my mother's cooking, even if they don't have any taste at all... her text messages asking me where I am and what time I would be coming home... i miss the fact that now I have to fight my own cockroach battles... 

I miss buying them things...

And now, I will also miss my brother...

I knew that there are life stages we have to go through... I just didn't know that it is going to be this way...

Now, if only people would stop asking me how my parents are or how's my brother's girlfriend...

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
