Quotes to Reflect Upon

"We always ignore the ones who adore us, and adore the ones who ignore us."

"If its good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience... No regrets."

"I win as if I'm used to it and I lose as if I enjoyed it for a change."

"I intend to live forever, or die trying."

"I'll take character over reputation... Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."

"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

"Judge me and you'll have no time left to love me."

"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

"Don’t count every hour in the day, make every hour in the day count."

"Women remember the men that they could have had... Men remember the women that they couldn't have."

"To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are."

Amazingly, these quotes are from the one and only Aubrey Graham, who is more famously known for his mononym 'Drake'.

The reason why I post up most of his quotes is simply because I can relate to them as I do his songs. You can say he stimulates my mind a little more when it comes to relationships, emotions, futures, and everything else in between.

Definitely something I live by, and something I would apply to everything.

Just The Way You Are Pt. 2

I was completely unaware and uninformed about the intentions Shawn and Brian had.
I found out about an hour later, that they had been itching to show people a trailer of what's to come.
So I bring to you, the teaser of our current project:



Thanks again to everyone who's been anticipating the release of the video.
It's in the final process of filming, and should be released by next week.

Hakuna Matata

After seeing this picture, it makes me believe more in the philosophy of 'Hakuna Matata', meaning "there are no worries" in Swahili.



Of course, growing up in the early 90's, you'll know it was popularized by the Disney film 'The Lion King', and known mainly as 'no worries'. (Makes me wish there were still Disney movies like this.)

Originally, I just took it as a carefree song that I didn't really consider applying to my own life. But after meeting Max, I was slightly inspired by his ideal and life regarding the aforementioned proverb.

Now a couple years later, I'm beginning to see it even further.

Joseph 'Rev Run' Simmons (Famously known one-third of the world famous Run-D.M.C.) quotes, "It's never what the situation is, it's always what you make of the situation."

Thinking about it now, my problems aren't as bad as I believe them to be.
I've always put into consideration how much worse someone else could have it, but never really enveloped it.

Now I've become to appreciate everything, seeing everything as a blessing in disguise.
See more of the bigger picture than I already believe I do.
Like, there's always a message behind everything, and how you can accumulate it to your life morals, beliefs and ethics.

Heh, seems like this movie played more of an important role than I thought.

Disney is a force to be reckoned with.

Endless Shoveling

It's strange how much of a hole I dug myself into.
It's no one's fault really.

I was completely attached to this mental image dubbed by most as 'the one'.
Foolish right?

I tried my best to hold back everything, but it was difficult.
Never have I met anyone like this.
I knew a fraction of her, but I was completely intrigued.
So when I was losing grip of it, I cried out my last bit of 'chance'.
It was for naught.
A pointless action.

I felt as though instead of going forward, I've been going under.
Digging below, further and further, making continuing the trail ever more challenging.

But I'm learning to deal.
To persevere and continue to dig through the pavements of life, obstacle amongst obstacles.
Coal by coal.
Road by road.

It's nothing new to me.
I just believed that I happened to cross the 'best' one down the line.

Maybe I've set my standards so high, they're unattainable.
Maybe it's best to stick with number 2.
And maybe, it's best to be 99.9% happy.

'Cause realistically, I'll never get 'the one'.
I'll never get number 1.
And I'll never get happiness as an entirety.

I'll just take Dory's advice, just with a little twist:
"Just keep diggin', just keep diggin', just keep diggin'..."

Who knows? Maybe one day I'll strike gold.

Just The Way You Are Pt. 1

This is Bruno Mars version of the music video.
A couple friends of mine had introduced me to this project weeks ago prior to it's release on making our own video, but due to many conflicting schedules, it had been held back.
So much that the official video beat us to it.
There were many original ideas that were intended to be implemented into the video, but only some were used. The ending part is still in the process, since as stated earlier (original idea), could not be applied. Although I wish it could have, the events and timing couldn't have come at such a bad time.

Anyways...

This song and video plays a significant role in my life because it's a song about accepting someone naturally. The song mainly projects on how someone is beautiful the way they are, not needing to change themselves. It doesn't go as far in terms of personality, but the idea is there. The basic message is there.

So that's the main idea we were planning for the video. I'll post up our version soon enough. Just hold tight.

Thanks Brian, Shawn, and the rest of the cast that made it possible.

Who Is?

At the end of the day...
Who is?
