My View of The Legal Wife

As if anybody cares! ;)

Seriously speaking, I just can't help but speak my mind while watching the 2nd to the last episode of "The Legal Wife" and.. consolidating an audit report. :(

I watched the much-talked-about tv series during its first few episodes but I stopped when Adrian was about to betray his wife.  Don't ask me why. ;)

I only resumed subscribing the show after learning that Monica had already discovered the affair and they were in the process of sorting things out.  But I stopped watching again when the querida was found out to be pregnant.  Unlike Nicole, the mistress I know back then is a married woman and decided to betray again her husband (who, by the way, is from PAF) by having her unborn child bear his surname.  What a pitiful sight..

If I were Monica, I would accept Adrian once again.  That is what an ending should turn out to be.  Ideally, happy..  But sadly, happy endings usually happen only in the movies and in tv series.  In real life, it is not that as easy as it seems to be.  As Kris Aquino pointed out, sometimes you just have to let go and sweep it away rather than pick up the broken pieces lest you get hurt in the process (especially when it keeps on breaking).

Moreover, saving the marriage for the sake of the child, according to Diane Paez, is a recipe for disaster.  I couldn't agree more.  I myself witnessed how a friend had been suffering from her philandering husband just to keep their marriage intact as she was so concerned of their children.

Trust, once broken, can never be the same again.. unless, a miracle intervenes.  By then, perhaps, a brand new life begins..

The Power of Now..

I know this is not the right time for me to update this blog.  Albeit the exit conference had just been concluded, humongous tasks are yet to be done, e.g., finish the annual audit report and organize working papers (agencies of both my regular and special assignments), among others.

It is just that, I could not resist featuring immediately in my blog of what I have been pondering on since I read it from the post of Christine Reyes in her Instagram account just yesterday.  What I was referring about was what I think to be an excerpt of The Power of Now book, quoted below:

"So many of us have acquired and taught of the notion that happiness is a destination that we must work and pay with our bodies hours of work to live and acquire unnecessary material desires that we must work hard for the future with our reward always just around the corner or just up the next step.  Everything was for tomorrow but never came.  Then we realize we never really lived at all.  We are all trained to be racing all the time.  Everything was for the future.  Why wait?  When we can be truly be at peace right now?  Why wait to be forgiven?  When we can forgive now?  Why wait then to be happy?  To be with each other?  And to be alive?  Right now is the best time to love, to forgive, to be with loved ones. To be alive.  Nobody in human history has ever in a death bed and requested to see their diplomas, cars, money or accomplishments one last time!  We always ask to see people for our last request.  Embrace.. Kiss them now.  Your true power is NOW."

Agree? ;)
