Brian Yalung’s Compositions

Keeping an eye on the little things of life can always become amazing at times. Most people dream of being among the clouds and looking down on people after their time has come. However, the thing is, some people just don’t know how to look back at all the good things that people have to offer, only caring about themselves rather than lending or repaying all the efforts and hardships that these people have given them through the years.

No doubt those experiences can become disturbing. It is a matter of caring only for one’s self and neglecting the needs of others, parents and relatives included. There is a fine line between sincerity and the ability of people with regards to providing support and being there once the need arises. But with the evil of money and wealth, people could care less and would rather see a person die rather than cherish their importance and parts in their lives.

Such can be traced towards cultural and ethnic growth. Not all people would have a memorable past but regardless, caring more about your financial capacity and stature has to be a pathetic sight. Imagine an old woman, helpless and motionless. Spending millions just to keep her alive and all you would think about is keeping the money you have for yourself. Let us be more concise, imagine that was your mother or father, would you think twice about wanting to see them alive or dead and just get your inheritance and let them die due to lack of support?

People have varying insights on such. But in such instances, money seems to be worthless if only people would give value towards existence of people who are dear to them regardless of what the past is. Life can not be replaced, money can be earned. So what is the point of comparison between the two if any?

There are people who do not earn much but are willing to help even with nothing in return. Why these people do this is something I can sum up to values. It is not a requirement to give back what you have gotten. It is a matter of putting values into focus. If only the dead can talk, maybe their disappointments can be heard.

Sit back for a minute and reflect. What if fate was altered and you would find yourself thinking back to your childhood? Would you say that life has dramatically changed and what you have now would be something that you really didn’t bargain for?

Surely, there are a lot of people who have given this some thought. Our lives will always encounter changes in their proper course and this is a reality rather than a fantasy. We may all be in a dream world, but this dream world may not turn out in our favor at times.

Making the best out of what life has to give should always be in our thought. We would all know what to do and why we should do them. There is no right or wrong, only a decision to which we will all abide and respect. We cannot alter the course of our lives nor can we go back to correct the mistakes. But what we can do is make the past our point of reference when we make current and future decisions not only for us, but for our future genes who will carry our name.

Such can be considered a legacy of sorts. We make our own name and we know for a fact to which extent we want ourselves to be in. There are no regrets for the decisions we make. It is something we believe that is right regardless if they are right or wrong in the minds of many. The main thing is doing the right thing at the prime of your life. We only get this opportunity once so we should all abide by it.

People will get hurt by decisions made by others, especially if they are found on the losing end. But this is only temporary. Being hurt and depressed is only normal and a part of life. We may shed a tear or a wide grin. We all have feelings and these are normal reactions. This is nothing to be ashamed of.

But the sun shines in our lives as well. We cannot move on and attend to other parts of our lives without confidence and belief in ourselves. There will always be rumor mongers abound. But this should not be made an excuse for our shortcomings. A person may choose to prove them wrong but in essence it is uncalled for.

What is important is that dreams are guides regardless of the results. Abide by it and stand tall. No one has the right to judge others by mere experience. It is a right instilled to us all. So catch your dreams and makes the right move. You may only have one shot at it in your lifetime.

Fortune telling, the usual thing we hear about being able to know what the future holds for us will always draw varied criticism. Many do not believe in it, while some do. Depending on how superstitious a person may be, it all boils down to believing if what your future holds for you is believable or not. For the record, consistency from how gifted people are able to read you without uttering a word will surely be the first gauge of measurement in being able to tell if a person would believe it them or not.

It takes much to impress me. For one, I may flash that smile to your face, but in my mind, I am trying to evaluate if you are for real or just a plain con artist. This goes the same for all the people I meet everyday, friends, business partners and people in need. While I will admit that it has reached to the extent that people I get close to may end up from claiming true friends to con artists, this experience is really something for the books and sad to say, I do believe in this person I met yesterday.

It has been one of my personal agendas to be able to meet up with highly touted fortune readers, for the sake of knowing what tomorrow would hold for me and my family. The experience was truly something the enlightened me and had me teary eyed. There were bad expectations as usual, but being the person I am, the way that this person read me was perfect. I found no inconsistencies and basing on her sincerity, the fact that she did not demand any amount for her services and just asked for referrals and help for her not so fortunate family hit me in an instant.

Our first meeting in itself was impressive. Sitting and drawing one card alone, this girl read me perfectly. From my past to current status, everything was clean as a whistle. The things in my mind, the fact that I defy odds and the real world, not believing in fortune telling or “hula” as Filipinos are fond of calling it, my failed marriage, my prized possession of which is my daughter, my career, and my approach towards people and lastly, my lost for belief in love. Pinpoint reading is what I would call it, and all past and current issues were like clockwork.

All I cared about was for the future of my daughter and my career. Truly, everything was fattening to the heart, especially the part where I would meet someone who would love me for who I really am and serve as my eventual partner. Nope, it is not my ex-wife nor the person I have been constantly pursuing. She will just pop up one and will make a total difference in my life, same thing when I read my Feng Shui for my 2007 outlook.

Career wise, it was really vivid in the same way that it is now. Taking on all these things, working, pushing my current company towards success and writing as hell to carve a name out of myself, it was all described in one word…”Personal Fame”. Well who wouldn’t but it is not for the money entirely, it is more on personal success and satisfaction. True that I do not go for the financial rewards initially, it is more of being comfortable with my lifestyle and accomplishments, something that I have been preaching ever since I got out of college.

Health is a concern as I should take care of my heart. Nope, I will not have cardiac arrest. It is more of hiding emotions and my inability to blurt out what I feel. I keep heartaches to myself and would rather not divulge them since no one has yet to understand my inner feelings and thoughts. Guess I just haven’t found the right person to guide me, but that is okay and I will live.

Whatever reactions people would have on fortune telling, I will respect your insights. But as far as I am concerned I do believe in this person I met today. My heart goes out to wanting to help her and her family, but for sure I will want to meet her again and provide more help as I was really tight on budget today. There were a lot of things I learned, and to be honest, I am glad I did just that today.

It was worth taking time out from work and knowing fortunes and misfortunes. Whether they come true or not, well, it doesn’t matter. I believe it will all still depend on me and how I drive my life into the roads of reality, something that will always pop up surprises.
