The Diary of Anne Frank.... and the prayer for love, unity, peace and equality."

This book, I can say has given a great meaning
to my life, as to how important life is
and to truly appreciate it whatever,
whenever, and wherever it may take us.
Anne's life according to her own diary never
gave up inspite of all the tragedies, sadness,
hunger and all the ugly things you can imagine
during the World War II, makes me reminisce the movie
"Schindler's List". I can say I'm blessed that I wasn't born
during those times, perhaps I'm not writing this right now and
sharing it with you.

I wish that war never exists or created and killing innocent
people for the sake of money and power. I wish guns and bombs never
exist and all those killing machines never invented and you know for
sure the many reasons why... only God knows how and when all
these things will end. I know, I can be somewhat idealistic right now
but it's not good to just go on living and just nothing to do but to face
the harsh reality of what the world has become right now.
It's sad but it's the reality, accept it, Grace... No!
But it's better late than doing nothing at all, right? So, I still and always
pray that war will never ever happen again.
I pray for love, unity, peace and equality for all the people and
nations in the whole world.
And I hope that you also do the same, it won't take too much of your time,
I promise.

Well back to Anne's Diary, here I want to share with you a very inspiring part
of her diary...

" It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet i keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if i look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again."

-Anne Frank The Diary of a Young Girl
Bantam edition / July 1993

I hope what I share with you can also make a difference in your life,
i'm happy that I was able to do this, sharing my thoughts, my ideals
and my prayers. There is no reason for us to stop dreaming and
just forget what our ideals in life, because that is what will shape us
as a person and the world we live in.
Remember always, "LIFE IS INDEED BEAUTIFUL" ...look up into the heavens,
just like what Anne did.
LOVE.UNITY.PEACE.EQUALITY.

My Journal...

hello i'm back... been busy this past few days preparing
for the materials I need for my new order.
And while preparing for that, I still manage to design my
personal journal, I was just so inspired so here it is...
the before and after look of the journal notebook,
including the ribbons and all the crafty things I used.
All the material were just bought from a dept. store
and the ever reliable supplier of everything and
anything under the sun...Divisoria
& Quiapo too!

"I'm Happy and I Appreciate..."

"I'M HAPPY..."

At last I'm finished with my handcraft bottles...!Just
delivered my last batch of handcraft bottles yesterday.
Now, I can do my thing now, first my laundry
( yah... my laundry), then do some inventory for my
craft materials and new designs for the holidays.

"I APPRECIATE..."

But still, I have to hurry up with my schedules, because
I just received a new order for my Handcraft bottles again
and it's really good news for me and my partner.
Truly God is good!
And my delivery due date is...November 21!
So, I have to get goin'... don't want to be in a rush again!

"I'M HAPPY & I APPRECIATE"

On the other side, this is my 3rd month of blogging. And I have
seen, read and even followed blogs that truly inspires me
a lot, in terms of designs and creativity of different people.
Everytime I see great and beautiful designs/artworks/
illustrations from various artists/designers, it really brings
joy to my eyes and my heart. It inspired me to continue
on making and creating more designs, so that people will be
able to truly appreciate it, just like my cards and the
handcraft bottles I made. I'm proud to say that people here
appreciate and buy it as a gift for their family or friends.
And it makes me feel good inside.

Making art or designs in different mediums is not just about
the income that we can earned from it, but instead,
it's the appreciation from different types people from
all walks of life and how it can give or bring happiness and
inspiration to them, to persons who are close to their hearts
and with us as well.


For now, I still have to work hard, follow my dreams,
be inspired, stay happy and appreciate things in life in a
positive way...

"I'm happy and I appreciate".
