Eversince I watched "The Bourne" trilogy in one week, I've been wanting to watch a film with the same quality, but unfortunately none of my choices were at par. That's why on a sunny and lazy Saturday afternoon, I watched a film about Jamaican athletes who graced the WINTER Olympics sometime in our history. I was moved by the story, their fighting spirit, devotion to their craft, determination despite trials (including racism) and their love & pride to their own country and race. In that flick I was able to get one of my newest favorite quotes!

"If you are not enough without it
then you will never be enough with it."
(referring to gold medal, but I think we could apply it
to almost anything except the Almighty ofcoz),

So true, so very true! =)

Another quote that pierced my heart goes like this, from a forum:

"Migrants carry with them not just their luggages, but their hopes and dreams, all their money and all their lives. They are not disposable human beings."

The migrant issues here are heating up. Many Filipinos are going home with bad news, some with worse cases. There were few who suffered nervous breakdown and there is a small number of suicide cases. Sad. Depressing. Maddening. It's reality.

The best piece of advise i could give being a migrant myself, TRY NOT TO PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET!!! PLEASE... do not risk everyaLL, it may not be worth it, especially these times. Have a cool attitude and be open to other options. Keep your hopes & hardwork high but your expectations low. Lastly but not the least, involve the Higher Being, pray more than just a LOT.

I know it's easier said than done. Most of us also prepared so much and do all the necessary stuff but still nothing happens. Well, I know that. I understand. We are on the same page. Let's just turn our woes to HIM, since it's only HIM who knows what's happening and what will happen to us. Not only that, it's ONLY HIM who will lead us to the right way.
