The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint -- Exupéry is always been my favorite that I have read it a hundred times. I use it to reach within me, take a grasp of who I am whenever I find myself absorbed and caught up in the demands and complications of life. Pooh's adventure, just as the Little Prince's journey, always bring us back to our childhood. A time when we see life as beautiful as a little flower and as joyful as doing nothing more than things we enjoy.

I was refreshed after watching the movie 'Christopher Robins'. It made me look at my life right now. Surely, I have learned a lot as much as how I summoned up and relived joyful memories of my childhood. It's a pretty good movie to shake you up.


Of my delight I couldn't help but list down what I have learned from the movie just in case I would need them again. Please do enjoy reading them, you might as well use them to perk up your stick-in-the-mud-self.



1. Don't lose yourself in the world. Do things you enjoy that you wont realize you're making memories, you just knew you were having fun.

2. Sometimes doing nothing will get you to one great something. Learn to stop, breathe in and just observe life once in a while.

3. You don't always have to worry about tomorrow or the future, today is enough. Just have today.

4. Be careful on what you are prioritizing, what matters most to you is what you should be prioritizing.

5. It's better to have a small-brain-big-heart-bear than a big-brain-small-heart-father

6. Don't let the kid in you die. It's not a sin to have fun sometimes. It's vital in life.

8. Sometimes small things that we always ignore are more enough to make us happy.

9. Don't make yourself live to work; you are working to live. You should know the difference. You are working to live so don't let your work kill you and take the life you should be living happily. 10. It takes faith to trust, believe and wait after you've all that you can. Not everything's of your control, it's God's.


Life is so beautiful. The world itself is a battle, don't let your life be destroyed as you fight and face struggles.


Buy that colorful balloon Manong along the street is selling, smell that wild flower you see at the park, talk to that stranger who sits beside you on the train, get out the car and take a long walk when it's traffic, breathe in some air, dance in the rain, tap your shoulder and encourage yourself as you head home tired from work.
