"Wag tayong mamroblema sa buhay, nandiyan na 'yan. Maging masaya tayo sa kung anumang mayroon tayo..."

That’s what Aga Muhlach said, and maybe that’s what we all need to hear today.

Because life will always come with problems. Bills. Delays. Worries.

But joy? That’s something we choose, not when everything’s perfect, but when we finally notice what’s already there.

May pambile ka ng ulam?
May pambayad ka ng mga bills?
May trabaho ka?
May kaunting kita?
Ayos na ’yon.

Because happiness isn’t always about having more, sometimes, it’s just about having enough.

Enough strength.
Enough peace.
Enough loved ones who sit beside. you.

At the end of the day, it’s not about how much you earned, but how much gratitude you gave.

So be happy. Be kind. And never forget, the best moments in life can’t be bought. They’re felt.

May mga taong kumikita ng P50,000 pero laging kapos. Samantalang may ibang kumikita ng P15,000 lang, pero payapa ang buhay, may direksyon, at may ipon.

Hindi palaging nakabase sa laki ng kinikita ang kaginhawaan. Mas mahalaga kung paano ninyo pinapamahalaan, pinagpaplanuhan, at pinagsisikapang pagyamanin ang bawat sentimo.

Dahil sa totoo lang, may mga mag-asawa o mag-partner na ang lalaki ng sweldo, pero laging may kakulangan.
Puno ng stress, bangayan, at paninisi. Walang ipon, walang plano, walang kapayapaan.

Samantalang may iba, simpleng kinikita lang ang hawak pero marunong magkasundo, may respeto sa badyet, may pangarap na sabay tinutupad, at may malasakit sa isa’t isa.

Ang tunay na yaman ay hindi lang nasusukat sa pera kundi sa pagkakaunawaan at pagkaka-align ng magka-partner.
Yung hindi lang sabay kumikita, kundi sabay ding nagbibigay halaga sa kinikita.

Yung marunong magplano bago gumastos,
Yung handang magsakripisyo ngayon para sa mas magandang bukas,
Yung mas pinipili ang pangmatagalang tagumpay kaysa pansamantalang luho.

Yung sinasabi ang “huwag muna” sa mga gustong bilhin, para masabi ang “handa na tayo” sa mga pangarap na sabay ninyong binuo.

Dahil ang tunay na pagmamahal ay hindi lang kilig, ito ay commitment. Ito’y pagtanggap sa mahirap, pagtutulungan sa gitna ng kulang,
at pagbangon nang magkasama kahit gaano pa kabigat ang pagsubok.

Packed lunch sa halip na mamahaling kainan.
Budget meetings imbes na spontaneous gastos. Mga tanong na “Kaya ba natin ito?” at “Saan tayo patungo?”

Hindi mo kailangang maging mayaman para maging matatag.
Ang kailangan: pagkakaisa sa prinsipyo, pangarap, at disiplina.

Kapag marunong sa piso, hindi matatakot sa milyon.

Ctto!

You might be rich today, but tomorrow you could lose everything. Wealth is a gift from GOD, and He can take it back whenever He wants. So, don’t be proud of what you own. Instead, use your wealth to do good, help those in need and support others. Remember, you can’t take your money with you when you die, but the good you do will stay with you forever.

A brief story of Parokya Ni Edgar's humble beginning.

"Nung nagsisimula pa lang kami bilang banda, di kami binabayaran para tumugtog.

Like most bands sa underground/indie music scene nung time na yun, wala kaming talent fee.

Masaya na kami basta makatugtog kung saan saan, kahit walang bayad.

Sa katunayan, abonado pa nga kami kasi sagot namin ang pamasahe namin papuntang gigs (or sagot ni Dindin yung gas kasi may kotse sya hehe), at sagot din namin yung pagkain at drinks namin kung saan man kami tutugtog.

We did that for years.

The 1st time we got paid was at Club Dredd. Naimbitahan kami bilang front act, and we agreed to play for free as usual, but after playing, the owner (Patrick Reidenbach) decided to pay us P300.

I guess natuwa sya sa amin.

Either that, or naawa lang talaga sya. Kasi ang sabi nya sa amin, "gamitin ninyo yan pang-practice".

P300 meant 3 hours na practice time sa Alberto's Band Rehearsal Studio.

After a few more months, we got paid again.

This time we got P800.

And this was during the so-called "Golden Age" of Pinoy Bands nung 90's.

We weren't earning at all but we couldn't care less. We had no money to buy our own instruments, but we kept on playing. We had no intentions of quitting school (or in Dar's case: his day job), and hindi namin inisip na kelangan kumita kami sa pagbabanda.

We did it simply because it was fun.

1996 nung naglabas kami ng album. 1997 na nung unang nakabili ng sariling gitara si Gab worth P6000.

Can you imagine? 4 years na kaming tumutugtog, at 1 year na kaming may album, bago kami mabayaran ng enough money para maka-afford ng sariling gitara si Gab.

Si Gloc nga dati, nakakadalawang album na, pero nagtatrabaho pa rin sya bilang waiter. Pero di sya sumuko. He focused on what he wanted to achieve and worked hard for it. (ngayon kaya na nya bilin yung restaurant. hehe!)

Ganun kasi talaga yun. Kelangan mo paghirapan.

Kung mataas ang pangarap mo, then you need to work harder than everyone else...kasi kung ganun lang kadali yun, then everyone else would be doing it"

Don’t worry if people think you’re crazy. You are crazy. You have that kind of intoxicating insanity that lets other people dream outside of the lines and become who they’re destined to be.

*ANY ATTACK YOU GET FROM PEOPLE* --is teaching you the best form of defence.
*ANYONE WHO LOOKS DOWN ON YOU* --is teaching you to look up to CREATOR ( *GOD* ).
Always look out for the lesson in every situation you face in every phase of life.
Be polite, calm, gentle and thankful to God because He will be with you to the end.
Life had taught me lessons. I do not see people at my cross road, because humans are not reliable. I only see God as the author and finisher of my faith.
*R E F L E C T I O N S*
*When you live your life without anyone betraying, hurting, disappointing, disgracing or offending you, then it means you never did anything worthy.*
*The beauty of life, is that it comes with disappointments and betrayals, from people you least expect.*
*Unfortunately, some of us spend so much time crying over these betrayals and disappointments, and end up becoming victims of all circumstances.*
*Remember One Thing:* *Holding unto anger is like knocking your head on the wall and expecting the other person to feel the pain. You are only hurting yourself.*
*The fact is that the world is full of annoying, naughty, stupid and ungrateful people, and you will always come across them at one point or another in life. But the best thing to do, is to deal with them with wisdom and maturity.*
*You can’t get everyone to love you, think like you or behave like you... never.*
*We must learn to tolerate and overlook certain things, we must try to bury the faults of others and move on with life.*
*Anger, Hatred and Intolerance have caused most of the world's problems and solved none.*
*Life is short, you don't know how much time you have left*
*I beseech you to take the pain and forgive that special person you hold grudges against, and iron out your grievances.*
*Muster the courage and apologise to that person you have offended.*
*Life is not measured by the amount of money, houses or companies you have, but by the positive impact you have made in the lives of others.*
Thank You So Much For Reading Through!
