Wont Let Your Smile Down

Anonymous asked: Why are you so darn cute?

I think its cuz im such a genuine guy. but would you like to answer that question?

SOOOO…… I found a phone in the parking lot that someone apparently dropped and was sitting in three pieces. The phone itself, the battery, and the cover. I picked it up to see if I can return it to someone and waited a day to see if anyone would call, but the phone is locked so I cant see who is calling nor can I answer or do anything at all besides try to break the lock but like the lottery its a one in a million chance of guessing right. So I decided to take the phone apart and took out the SIM card and I saw that it is a T-mobile service… I called T-mobile and had them track the cereal number of the phone but it was a random “Anycall” brand phone (??) so they could not track it. I then asked them to track the SIM card number to the owner. They found the name of the person but not surprisingly they couldn’t give me any details. So I asked them to call and tell them someone found their phone. They called the owner for me on an alternate phone number but did not answer. I told the lady to give them another call to leave a voicemail and give my number so that they can reach me and pick up their phone. Instead of a voicemail they actually picked up they gave me a call and I am waiting for them to come pick it up… Not expecting anything in return but I hope for some good karma and that someone would do the same for me if that ever happened.

Love is like the moon, high up in the sky
You know its out there somewhere, you only wish you can fly.
Hurts to know where it is, with no road that’s complete
Hoping just one day, by a miracle we can meet.
So small when its far away, So large when near,
Living lonely day by day, only wishing you were here. 
NASA built a rocket ship, that all started by dreaming,
With passion and desire, they sent those rockets screaming.
Such an emotional journey, my heart is full of fuel and gasoline,
Soaring past the guiding stars, leading me to the girl in my dream.
Love is like the moon, high up in the sky
I know its out there somewhere, I believe I can fly.

Dear Fallowers,

Life is amazing and enjoy it! We cannot spend our lives in hate, misery, and pain. Take a minute and gasp with awe of the world we live in, its beautiful. If you see a person down on their luck, lend a helping hand, the gratification of helping another is overwhelming. If you cannot already see, I am a lover of life. It has its ups and downs and rocky turns and therefore it is important that we learn to embrace the moment and be ready for the next. I live my life by a different measure, I listen with my eyes and see with my ears (take a second to think that one through). This way I have found is the only way to truly experience someone, it in essence is giving them your truly undivided attention. I’m serious about life but I do not take life completely serious. Balance is an important factor to professionalize in, not many have it. Learn to balance, learn to live. I am a workout buff and love to stay active. I love the outdoors and anything spontaneous.  I’m always down for an adventure and to make a memory. After all, half the things we do in life is for the stories, right?! So make a memory… whether its in the moment or not… I Live For Memories, It’s What I Do.

Dear Fallowers,

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up and make mistakes sometimes… it’s a universal truth. But the good part about it is that you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up. Friends come and go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them. Also remember that your family whether your siblings or parent… make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, it’s a learning experience. Sometime you have the best of luck and its love at first sight but other times you might have your heart broken every time, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and not just in a relationship but in life. Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re going to fail at everything. Nothing ever come easy, not success, happiness, or love… It takes those heart breaks and let downs to build and armor you to full potential strength so when that time come, you will know what you want or don’t want in life/relationships and nothing will be able to bring you down or stop you from reaching for the stars and letting your dreams become reality. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will? So keep your head held high, keep your chin up, and most importantly DON’T LET YOUR SMILE DOWN, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much beauty surrounding you to be smiling about.

Dear Fallowers,

If a person or situation controls your emotions and problems, just know there is more to do than getting mad or sad. Continue to be adventurous, help people, and care for others. God has a plan for everyone and every bump in the road happens for a reason. With time, one will come across happiness. It’s just a nail in the road that caused 2 flat tires…once one uses their strength to lift the car up and take the time to change the tires…they will be on their way to happiness and success. We all have creative personalities and will find ways to get through tough times. One’s passion in everything they do will fuel the motivation to push through. Through all endeavors one will meet many more fiends, good and bad… but one can’t be infatuated with every person or thing, even as much as they want to be loved. Love takes time…it finds you, you don’t look for it. Just like a puppy, your first so infatuated with it that if you let it do whatever it wants than it will be disobedient, but if you stop open your eyes and realize you it needs to be trained but still letting it know you love it… it will be a very loving and trained dog in the long run. Love is patience… Everything is just a learning experience. One should never forget about the family and friends that care and support them. They are there to keep them busy and help them fix their tires. Everything is meant to be and one shall find their plan in life maybe while going through an emotional roller coaster. Just keep faith.

Lola Mary Familar Javier —- July 13, 1923 - October 21, 2011

Rest in Paradise

THE MEANING OF FAMILY INSPIRED BY MY GRANDMA

With life…comes many moments of sadness, many moments of tears … but we look around and we see we have the support of our family and we know, everything is going to be okay. Because as soon as you experience that moment of loss; their gone forever sometimes without reason, without joy, and without happiness. It’s okay to cry, its okay to grieve; because I realize that Lola Mary’s love… for us… will never leave, will never die, will never go away. She left her greatest creation of a warm, strong, loving, and welcoming family behind. But like mother like son, my dad taught me the most valuable gift that she left all of us was a family bond…so tight that nothing can break us apart. Being part of the younger generation of grandchildren, though we are all different, I see so many of Lola’s great traits on all of us. She was such a loving and gentle Lola—always caring!

Family… is more than a word, more than a meaning, more than anyone of us alone. To her family meant full of love, laughter, full of togetherness; and as we all know full of food. How do you think I got this big…really. Lola would always make sure I had a plate in my hand whether I was full of not and that’s one of the reasons why I love her so much.  Lola Mary made it so that family is the most important and strongest bonding aspect of life. She was the happiest when we were all get together, it didn’t matter where the party was. Family meant more to her than anything else. I could only imagine how tough it is to feed, raise, clothe, and be able to lead a happy life for 10 children. I know it was physically impossible to be there for everyone at the same time but yet she instilled the concept of family and how you can reach out to more than just her. Through Lola, my dad taught me that I can always count on him, my mom, brother, tito’s, tita’s, and cousins when ever I needed them and everyone is in existence because of my Lola.

  When I was younger all I worry about is being able to play with my cousins at parties and nothing else mattered. Now, that I’ve grown up; I start carrying on conversations with my Dad and Tito’s and Tita’s about Lola and I realize they all share Lola’s values of closeness, family first, discipline and many more….everyone does things for Lola’s sake in which I know she is very proud and appreciative of everything.  Although, I did not spend that much time in Alameda with Lola, I remember when we celebrated her 86^th birthday in San Ramon with a “Hawaiian Theme”. She was so happy that everybody came. She was active and talkative then and I remember hugging her many times and when she said she loved me it meant the world. Also her 87^th birthday where we surprised her at Pier 29 she was so happy and not because of the food but because we are all there to celebrate as a family. Another moment was when I played my first high school football game on T.V. her eyes lit up when I saw her and she look at me like I was a superstar then I realized I wasn’t playing football just for me but also for her.

I believe we can use this opportunity of her passing, not only to mourn or grieve but to celebrate the life of Lola Mary and to reflect on each and every one of our lives and how the impact of Lola Mary cannot bring us down but only make us stronger and stay positive in every aspect of life. Because we learn that no matter what the people you can really count on is family and yourself. Like the passing of Lola Mary, life will throw us curveballs but it’s our job not to lose focus, but to keep our eye on the ball and hit a home run in life situations. You’ll have your heart broken, fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them if you haven’t already, and you’ll cry because time is flying by. So take more than many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Because here you realize that life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, and no second chances. We need to live life like Lola Mary, our greatest inspiration, and live life to the fullest as she did every day of her life with a smile and an “I love you.” So tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, watch a beautiful sunset, hold someone’s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Lola Mary didn’t just give life everything she had; she fought for more time with us…she fought for family. Don’t be afraid to achieve greatness, don’t be afraid to take chances in life, and don’t be afraid to fall in love or make the one you love feel like the most important person in the world.  Most of all, live in the moment, set your worries aside, and let you future unfold… because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back… we owe Lola Mary that much.

We thank you Lola Mary for being there with warmth and understanding whenever anyone needed it. Thank you for sharing our disappointments as well as our successes. We thank you for having confidence in our dreams, goals, and aspirations for our futures. We thank you for doing the smallest thoughtful things to show us you cared, even if it’s as much as a simple “I love you.” We thank you for making every day spent in our lives a special one. We thank you for filling our lives with more than enough love and happiness. And even though your time with us was growing shorter and you continued to give love, we all knew you cared so much. We all know how your small gentle and thoughtful ways have such a special touch. And because of everything you are and everything you do, this family can’t tell you enough how much we love you. And the only individual I know to be more than amazing, more than blessed, more than human… is a lola, mother, sister, tita, and my inspiration, my motivation, and most of all…MY ANGEL… Lola Mary
