Guardian Angels …

I was drown literally in stress and on the verge of crying. Every corner I turned to, it seemed to have reached a dead end. I was pressed for time, and it didn’t matter what I did that day, everything went wrong and the last straw?—exit to my office building was blocked.

Yes, how could that happen? I swapped interview time with one of my coworkers and I was supposed to go at 1:30 pm instead of 2:30 pm. And the time drew closer and closer and I almost made it after sitting on a traffic and the exit to my office was closed. How could that be? An exit was closed out of nowhere?  Yes. it was wide opened in the morning but not at the time when I needed the most. I almost burst out in tears …

But then, something strange happened, thing just worked out and no-one even noticed that I was missing for 1:30 pm interview slot. My name was listed for 2;30 pm. Isn’t this strange? Somehow someone just managed to cover it up for me.  And this was not the first time. Each time, when the door closes on me, somehow a window opens somewhere …. Do you believe an guardian angel is somewhere watching over me?

I always managed to get out of trouble no matter what happened to me and those moments when I was virtually taken over by frustration and hope… somehow things would just worked out the way it should be? –Could that be coincidence?

I dunno. The question is … Do you believe in guardian angels?

Hope you enjoy this journey of mine visiting guardian angels—my story about my guardian angel.

Summer …

My mind is always wondering where to go and it is hard for me to be confined and write based on writing prompt. But I did it once on Sandra’s post and I supposed it wasn’t so bad at all … in fact, it let me explore and now I am responding to Jenn’s post –Summer.

Closing my eyes with my arms wide open—this is how  I would  embrace Summer each time. Perhaps it is the time for me to travel. For those who know me personally or thru my writings—travel is me, travel is my favorite thing on earth.

In fact, during my weekend away with hubby http://journeyofmylifendestiny.blogspot.com/2012/06/sealed-with-kiss.html , we have come across this subject, --what is the one thing that I must do that I can’t live without. After thinking for awhile, I said, “I don’t really care much about materials, be jewelry or huge house. I always get what I want, in fact there is not a thing that I want that I don’t have. Note this, I never wish for anything beyond our buying power. I am pretty realistic person. I do dream but still I don’t dream about material. There are two things that I would cry for if I can’t have them. First one is my career. I love my career –tho I am not having the best career at this point of my life but I still can live with it. Another one is traveling.”

Traveling means Summer (and Winter) in our family. Ever since when I was in College, I can’t wait for Summer (and Winter) to come then I can stretch my legs and start walking and exploring to the unfamiliar places (or perhaps some familiar ones with our kids) but still with the same curious eyes. These curious eyes of mine have traveled far and beyond and still find each unique (even it is not famous) place quite fascinating.

I love Summer –perhaps its warm weather. I always dislike the cold even though Winter has given me a different kind of warm feeling.  Speaking of Winter –our traveling seems to end up in warm places like Caribbean, Mexico or Florida where sunshine seems to monopolize regardless of season.

Perhaps Summer brings back the feeling of mine that I was once a June bride or perhaps those fond memories we have during our camping trips to nearby national parks or perhaps those fireworks that sparkles the whole sky or perhaps the smell of the barbeque in the neighborhood.—Whatever it is! It spells Summer.

Summer, here I come and each year my journey always seems to cross path with you. Today, I am taking my friends, my readers with me for a little visit and perhaps they would share with us—what does Summer mean to them

So, What does Summer mean to you?

My love for ‘Tango’…

I always feel intrigued by Tango’s movement and its music. Somehow the music sounds so defying. The female’s facial expression is so supercilious. The whole dance is so elegant! –And I started to fall in love…

My love for Tango wasn’t quite there until recently when I and hubby started to take private lessons from my Salsa dance’s teacher. Step by step she took us into her arms and led us into the dance floor. Baby steps were made until some movements were memorized and learned. Then all of the sudden the surge of excitement arose from my heart to my body. As the music flows… It takes my body with it and starts to move eloquently. As if it couldn’t resist the temptation that generated by Tango’s music. As if the Tango has its magnetic pulls that I can not resist. Without a choice, I submit wholeheartedly –And I started to fall in love helplessly…

Each time, when my hubby took my hands and gently led me into the dance floor. He would take charge and took me to wherever directions he wanted me to be. I would follow obediently as of this body has its own mind. I can no longer control it. If my mind decided to go against, the whole movement halted awkwardly and the music would abandon us and move on. But I won’t and nor could I. I felt like my whole feeling and body have been trapped inside a web, a Tango web and I can no longer escape. –And I started to fall in love deeper …

Little did I know that Tango dance has taught this free spirit of mine how to follow a lead and go where my loved one wants me to. I am always a freethinker person and go wherever I want to go and do whatever I want to do. Hardly anyone could stop me … Hardly anyone could prevent me until I met Tango dance where I would powerlessly surrender without any fight. This kind of feeling is so foreign to me yet familiar. It reminded me when I first fell in love with hubby. Couldn’t stay away from him, wanting to see and hear his voices. Wanting to be with him every seconds of my life. –And my love for Tango has gone deeper than one could imagine …

A lot of time in our lives, we find ourselves finding someone or something that we love and no matter how hard we try to stay away, we just can't. The love grows stronger each time and before we know it the love has taken controlled over us. Being in love is such a great feeling to have and sometimes it seems so unreal and hard to describe in words.  "We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is shattered and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, and hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives." – This is exactly how I am feeling at this moment ...

This part of my journey with Tango has sparked a new excitement in my life that I feel like I am falling in love all over again. As you walk back into your own journey of life …I hope you would find yourself falling in love all over again and this time with something or that very someone in your life that may ignite your heart all over again ...

Are you happy?

There is this individual that I used to work with and we came to know each other quite well.  Inevitable we shared a lot of our life philosophies, values as well as our parenting experiences with each other. Then the day came and for whatever reason might be, we are no longer part of the circle. –We are no longer in touch.  Funny thing was, I dreamt about this person last night and the one thing I remember vividly from my dream was, my question, “Are you happy?” – I found this very intriguing!

--courtesy of learn-how-to-be-happy.com

Sometimes we know someone so well, we forgot to ask whether they are happy or not. We just assumed that they are happy either with us or simply happy. I love asking that question to my girls and sometimes to my youngest sister as well as close friends of mine. I don’t know why … maybe I just want them to be happy. Perhaps by asking that questions, I could hear more about what was the thing that bothered them at that moment …. Perhaps I could hear all of the glorifying stories that made them contented... Perhaps that question would trigger them to seek for the happiness in their lives.  Or perhaps is just my little way of showing that I care.

So, the question I am asking you today is “Are you happy?” 

Thank you for coming over to walk with me in this journey to visit happiness. I hope you are happy!
