I sit back and think in this empty room. I think what I am to most people I meet. Am I just a ticket in their hands to their destination or am I journey to some. I know that I am a ticket to all. I am so happy to know it. My friends need a ticket for a celebration and so they call me. My girlfriend wanted a ticket when she was alone. Now she has another ticket. So she no longer needs me. My parents are confused looking at me. They neither use me as a ticket nor as a journey. My clients don’t take me to be a ticket. They treat me like a tissue paper. That is funny to me.
The question to ask myself is am I using myself to be a ticket or a journey? The truth is that I am not using myself as anything. This is sad. This truth gives me a simple wish to know what I can make use of myself for. I am young and have energy to have a journey for myself. So I plan my journey meticulously. Alone, all alone, I travel. Travel with a baggage filled with potential, goal and courage. It’s a fun journey as I have to explain to no one where I am going. Once I reach my destination, all will know where I headed to. Till then, I will not be letting anyone use me. I will not be pleasing anyone except myself. I will not lose my eye on the place I need to be. I plan the walk. And I know its going to be fun. Because this is the opportunity I am creating.
This is what I am here for. I am not alone. Life is guiding me. Life is the most powerful partner I would choose to anyone. I travel with life to my place. My place exists. My place will excite most once I have reached it. I cannot call anyone now as they are all busy making use of many tickets they have. So I know they are just going in circles. It is sad to see them at the same place as they started.
Now I know who I am. I am journey to myself. And once I reach my place, many will make me their journey. I know I will walk there and I will help many to get there. I do it for my pleasure. I do it for sheer fun in it. I do it because I am designed to do it. I am with life. It’s a long walk but its fun every minute. It’s my walk. It’s my journey.
So what are you? A ticket or a journey?
Tj.

UTOT...... thats right... she taught me utot and if you know tagalog then you know what it means... it means fart...hahaha... yeah it means fart... i being a foreigner believed that i learnt something good but i did not learn a good word... and then when i found out the meaning of it, i used it like it does not matter... really if you are a foreigner and you say utot to an old man from phillipines, i am sure he would laugh his heart out at you... but only if you are a foreigner....

There is not a single dirty word in it, and it is funny like anything
The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, "Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon."
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. "Good morning, Ma'am", he said, "I've come to..."
"Oh, no need to explain," Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, "I've been expecting you."
"Have you really?" said the photographer. "Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?"
"Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat"
After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun You can really spread out there."
"Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!"
"Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results."
"My, that's a lot!", gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that."
"Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures.
"This was done on the top of a bus," he said.
"Oh, my God!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with."
"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look"
"Four and five deep?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.
"Yes", the photographer replied. "And for more than three hours, too.
The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots.
Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment? "
"It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
"Tripod?"
"Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand, very long."
Mrs. Smith fainted!!

I learnt to smile when my world collapsed around me……

Life has been extremely merciful for me and I didn’t recognize it in my good times. I stayed staring at all the best life had to offer to me. Then it happened without warning. Life started its tuition session for me. It just snatched everything from me. It took away the basic comfort I had, it separated my loving woman from me, and it took away all my money, it made me poor, my dependents suffered as well, life did not enjoy seeing me in a pathetic situation but it only wanted me to learn what is to respect of what I have…
With nothing around me, my world was collapsed, so did my hopes of surviving another day. Desperation and frustration danced away to joy in my mind. I stood there wondering why I was the chosen one to be in this state when I stayed good all my life. I lost my charm, lost glory, lost social contact; I was as invisible as air. But then life kissed me and embraced me again, like a mother wrapping her arms around a panic stricken son. Because I had learnt my lesson.
The lesson I learnt was priceless. I learnt what I was made of. I learnt what I had in me. When all was lost, I had only two things with me, faith and belief. This is what life wanted me to recognize. I aced the test life had to offer.
Today, with nothing but faith and belief in me, I walk with a smile on my face. I walk the path less traveled. I know that I am here for a reason. And I learnt that when I am uncomfortable, scared and helpless then, I am staring deeply into the eyes of opportunity. I work everyday holding the hands of the Holy Father, who guides me and walks me through the unknown path. I walk with a smile on my face. I thank life for its lesson.
For all those who felt as hopeless and lost like I did, I say to you, just walk with the smile on your face and remember, “ WHEN YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE, SCARED AND HELPLESS THEN, YOU ARE STARING DEEPLY INTO THE EYES OF OPPORTUNITY.”
