… two steps behind
one *solid* step at a time…
… to achieve the impossible

*Photo taken at Marbella, Spain during a short break from studying for exams with my roommate, Miran.

Where will you stand…  being that shining star above all else or humbly  becoming part of the system.

I think… (yup… I am really thinking about it!)
I think… that IT DOESN’T MATTER where we choose to stand, WHY? WHY NOT???

Because the different of that choosing is only depend on the POINT of VIEW of each person, simply just matter of differences opinions and believes.

But… BUT the only thing that matter is… THAT NO MATTER what other people think…
You just know that… YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THAT- SHINING STAR-

Be confidence at being yourself, just like the moon that will always be there as the moon… years after years along with the uncertainty on earth.

Today or perhaps tomorrow (not so sure now, lol)… at Les Roches Marbella, they are holding an Alumni reunion. Because of that… it reminded me that just few months ago I was working my ___ off at the school, reading tons of books, tring to finish loads of assignments, tring to stay awake in kitchen and having to make MUFFINS in the morning! Not to mention that… I started Two Steps Behind while I was studying there. So I had to learn how to blog, how to upload pictures, set up this and that… Life sure was busy then!

There were some rough times along that path but in the end… looking back, that wasn’t so hard compared to the working environment in reality. LRM was just getting you ready for that harsh reality! Opse… Did I scare you? It’s part of growing up, to live and learn!

Going to LRM was the best path I have ever taken, as of yet. It opened the opportunities around the world aside from meeting many great teachers and friends whom later become more like family to me! And to have met “her”… was just UN-BEE-LIVE-ABLE!

So… Dear LRM: Have a great ReeeeUNION!!! And have fun at SMALLWORLD! Sorry I can’t be there to get wasted with you guys

here are some photos that I took with many fond of memories of Marbella (http://www.twostepsbehind.com/tag/marbella/) and of Les Roches (http://www.twostepsbehind.com/tag/les-roches/)

Parabéns a você,
nesta data querida.
Muitas felicidades,
muitos anos de vida.

… is lost
… wants to be found

Hidden in plain sight! It was during a walk to Puerto Banus that I found this framing of the Sierra Blanca. Normally I would walk another way, my normal route, however this time I was walking with friends from school and that they normally walk on a different route.

There are so many possibilities in life that we often neglect due to human nature… we are creatures of HABIT, and that we tend to do things we know and feel comfortable with, hence… we can’t think outside the box *on our own*. However with a little bit help from outsider, friends and families… we are often shown the other side of life. Yet, we often don’t let other people into our lives because of our nature of habit. By letting someone into our lives, it needs courage and trust.

So, who have you let into your life recently? Where have they lead you to? Whoever it is, they are sure to be thankful for letting them into your life because it also means that you trust them. Now let us walk together to “who know where”, just keep walking – together.

Tonight… the night… that I don’t know what to type.

I just want to rest there, look at the moon, listen to the sound of the sea and be bathed by the light of the stars. And just fall asleep.

A month has passed since the last class at Les Roches Marbella.

I sure miss it, the lack of time to do nothing else but work and school,
the fresh air in the morning,
the sound of the phone alarm waking me up at 6am for pastries,
the 4 cups of warm milk with Te’ at breakfast,
the delivery of muffins
the all you eat dessert at lunch!
the cutting and chopping meat and vegetable for dinner
the walk in the afternoon over the mountain
the time spent doing nothing but to enjoy the 1 hour happiness of the day
the brownie at Small World

the light breeze of each night
the shining moon over the sky
the north star that always shines
the sand and stone on the road
the sound of cricket in the woods
the moment…

the lists go on…

This pile of rocks and the big stone represents the START of a NEW beginning for a path. Apparently, from the view, the path seems to be rough to walk thru. Why would someone want to walk down this path anyway? Perhaps because they know that at the end of the path is the Beach*, where they can rest happily in front of the eternal ocean.

*zoom-in on the original file and you would see the sea at the end of the road. Yes that little blue pool of water is the sea

I guess that is the best way to reach our destination by fixing our eye on our GOAL in life and do work hard with a POSITIVE mind and everything will become much easier.

This post is related to back to the previous posted as it was the resulted from the “STONE” that marked the new beginning. The question that was mentioned in the previous post… was asked and has been answered.

The ROAD to take was chosen… and now? Keep going FORWARD, “together”.

the ROAD to take… the view of City Center, Valencia, Spain

“Two things I learned in life, kid: find someone to love and live everyday as though it were your last.– Joe.” Alfie 2004.

And to live everyday as it though it were your last, sometime we must put ourselves in the position that there is no turning back, just keep going forward. And to never regret any moment in life.

This is the view of City Center, Valencia, Spain. What a fun, risky, crazy, spot to take the photo, yet…it was worth it.

One more exam to go, One more week until graduation… and one more question to be answer.

I took this photo 2 weeks ago, the afternoon of the graduation ceremony. Knowing that it was going to be the last afternoon I spent at Les Roches Marbella, I took the photo just to remember it. I am sure many of the 28# share this same view! Great view isn’t it?

The walk / run today at the park in the neighbourhood reminded me of the school as I sometime go for a walk / run to Puerto Banus. I came to find out how exhausted it was to run! After barely making 3 laps without collasping, I was soaking with sweat… and it was 8:00PM !

Anyways, it feels good to run! Next time I’ll be sure to bring my camera to take photo of the park to share it here. ^_^
