I together with my girl friends
visit the Orchidarium for the first time. It was one of the beautiful gardens
that Luneta is showcasing. The fees where appropriate and affordable a
worth it fee for me compared to the experience it offered. We stayed there for
six hours and as i was there i started to put lessons on each thing i can see.
Here are some of that i can share to
you..
1. Silence.
Give yourself a break from this
stressful, noisy world and spend your time with silence just for a while.....
make time for yourself.. To think of the things that worry you, to ask yourself
if you are still happy, if you are still alive and living your life. A moment of silence, a moment of reflection;
though you can do this at home, in your room, and even in your chapel or
churches, or any place you’re comfortable with.
2. Relieve yourself from stress.
Good music, silent place, beautiful
environment, calming water, breezing winds, good and true friends....they are
what i need to forget my stress. I feel so calm when im surrounded by waterand
if im in a province look. How about you?
3. Water falls.
Yes you read it right .. water
falls! Same as your problems it will pass, may solusyon jan.. it may not be the
easy way.. but it’s the right thing to do. Dont let your problems ruined your
life. Our life is like the waterfalls, it was steady on one place but its water
is constantly dripping. Our life was
there in our hands but our time flies like the water that flows..
4. Jeepney.
When we were in orchidarium there is
this unique jeepney that is parked at the corner, we gather ourselves and take
a picture in that jeepney. Then it reminds me of life. In our life we may
encouter too much dust that will make us dirty then we have to stop to park ourself
for us to fix ourselves, to clean, and for us to be ready to face new struggles
and dust along the road of our journey. The round tire of it says that life isnt fair; we have to go below to
be above. We have to face struggles to found success; to be on our rough edges,
to be strong; to be on our diffi cult times to know who will stay with us. But in
the end no matter who stays or who leaves ... life must go on and on ..
enjoy and have a life!
5. Hanging veins.
I dont know what to say with the
hanging veins i just love seeing them. they make the arch beautiful..
difficulties in life makes you beautiful.
6. Staircase.
We have our choise to go up or to go
down, to pause or to keep going on. Simply, life is beautiful.. full of
surprises.
7. Seesaw.
One goes up and one goes down though
you can be both in balance. You can go up by putting others down or you can go
down by putting others up. Unfair right? But
if you take a good look at it, you are at the top because someone did lift you
to be above them. they were happy seeing you laughing, smiling, and happy
whenever they lifting you and you on the other hand is enjoying the moment yet
looking down at the person who is sending you up. Then you will do the same
thing for them.. but seriously.. you are aware that only one person makes an
effort in the seesaw. The one heavier plays the game. And if the both of you
stays on balance no one will enjoy the game of life. I hope you’re getting my
point..
8. Hanging Bridge.
Some are afraid of the hanging
bridges especially when someone played with it and make it swing all through
out. It was like holding on to what you believe, yet the one whom you believed
loved and cares for you is just playing with you.. playing with your fears,
playing with your emotions. So learn when
to be brave, when to keep holding on, when to hang up, when to let go, when to
stand up, when to scream, when to get rid of your emotions, and when to say
your afraid. I cannot promise you that life will be easy.. but it will be
worth it. at least if you made mistakes you know that you will learn... mistakes
ar done, lessons are learned.
9. Koi fishes
Big or small still they follow each
other, when the food comes along you will see each of them competing for it.
therefore i conclude, no matter whom you were right now, no matter who
accompanies you, still there will always come a time that you guys will bump
into each other and compete for something. You just have to be strong, and face
it properly.
10. Rainbow and Flowers
This will be the last thing i'm gonna
share for this experience. Since orchidarium is a garden expect for it to have
flowers, flowers that are starting to blooms and some leaves on the ground that
have fallen from the trees. In life, you have to fall over and over again to
produce a beautiful flower and as you go to the process you would know, someone
out there knew how you blooms! And will be proud of what you have become. =)
Rainbow comes out after the rain, it
was produced by the sun that reflects in each water drop. Light that reflects
in your sadness. As it shows up after the
rain, you should believe that after the difficulties in your life you will found
light that will create a beautiful rainbow where everyone is mesmerized. But again all of this will pass, another storm
will came into your life and you have to conquer it so that you can enjoy
seeing your rainbow once again....
Thank you for
your time.. i enjoyed my experience at Orchidarium.. hoping to come back there
with you.. =) until next time...
I hope to see you blooms and be mesmerized with
your own rainbow..
