WELCOME TO MY LIFE .

Dear KOKO Superstars,

"To do anything truly worth doing, you must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as best you can."

Dear KOKO Superstars,

"When the archer misses the mark, he turns and looks for the fault within himself. Failure to hit the bull's eye is never the fault of the target. To improve your aim - improve yourself."

Gilbert Arland

Dear Superstars,

"If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul."

Dear Superstars,
"Your living is determined not so much by what life brings you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens."

Koko Superstars;

I always believe that you can't go anywhere unless you have a goal in mind...and a goal is just a daydream unless you act on it, and a dream will never materialize if you do not set a deadline for it.
That is why I am re assessing my life now...and here are the things I wanna pursue in getting this year of 2009 before my birthday on November 4th.

• Make my family whole again.My mom, brothers, and nephew happier.
  
• be a very good businessman and have my 1st million dollar by this year
• be an excellent photographer (www.kokostyleproductions.multiply.com)
• be a fantastic celebrity and model.
• my own house and car
• be smarter, leaner , healthier, and hotter
  
• be more organized, clean and neat with my things
• be a loving and loyal brother, son and boyfriend
  
• be a very good charity worker (www.kokocharities.multiply.com) so i could share all of my blessings to the world.

that's all for now...I just wanna write it down on my blog, so I will always have a reminder of the directions I got to take.:)..and maybe some one out there in this world might help me in my venture .maybe Oprah might stumble on my blog..hehhehe. but we never know right..?

That's why I encourage everyone to be a dreamer, never lose hope even if sometimes you feel down, you are the master of your world, that's how we were suppose to be...do not let situations control you..control them...so to all my friends out there...just believe and you will receive....your thoughts will guide you to the path you should take...always stay happy and have a clean heart...your clean heart will never mislead you.

love,
-Prince Tami

Almost everyone I know of has experienced love and get hurt... some decides to move on, some dwell on it, either ways nobody really has let go..they just decided to accept the fact that Goodbyes exist. Coz honestly... we don't really let go, we just learned the art of acceptance until we live each day without the person and we grow numb, and we get used to the numbness. But did we actually let go?

How do you let you go?

when there is so much to hold on to.

So much to fight for

And the whole world to build the dreams together.

All the more reason................................

Love that just needs to be re-lived.

Love is indeed a very complicated emotion. You stare at one another, and in the moment time stops as if you know that when your eyes first met, you are soulmates. We start to act crazy, talk impressive because we want the person to be proud of us, without realizing that the person is already proud of us even if we are at our worst state, ugly look, bad breath, stinky fart and sweaty hands.

It takes a God-given grace to find a person who will look at you in the eye and say, just show me you love me and I will give up my dreams for you, Just kiss me and I will forget we ever fought, Just hold me and I will not worry, and Just embrace me and I shall rest in harmony for eternity.

How ironic love is, that it brings the greatest feelings yet the greatest sorrow. It may light the day with laughter as it drowns you with tears. It brings you to light, yet it can take you to the darkness you will never wish to be. It brings happy memories that can also kill you at the same time. BUT THAT'S THE RISK WE CANNOT AVOID!! You have to be hurt in order to be strong, you have to stumble and fall to stand and rise and you have to feel pain in order to grow.

Why can't we just buy love in as much as we can buy our way to our dreams? Why cant we select the people we will love and who will love us back as much as we can select the path to our success? Why does trial and error has to be with someone else every time we fail? Why can't we start over with the same person like in the games when the game is over? Why is it a one time shot only,, and Why isn't there any timeouts,,,,,just goodbye's?

All of this we will come to realize as soon as we let ourselves give in to the feelings, let someone in and cut a piece of your heart to give.

You will not realize it until you take the risk that someone might go away with the piece of your heart along, the risk that you may have given the lock to your heart's door and the person may disappear carrying the lock. That you may end up with a torn heart, and you might wait a lifetime to wait for someone to come and fix it. All these you can realize when you take the risk or FALLING IN LOVE.

Yet looking at the bright side, after all the pain and suffering, no matter how painful and hard it is to bear, you'll come to realize that when the sun sets, there'll only be a brief moment of darkness and you will eventually find yourself in a familiar place once again. A place that you call home, where your friends are waiting, your mom, your dad...family...and maybe the love that has been there all along,,,with YOURSELF,,, and the sun shining on your face. It is the time where you will start to appreciate the loneliness of the night, learn to smile to the sad rainfall and perhaps dance alone in the rain, start to hear the cricket's music and appreciate the design of the heavens with each star telling stories as you write yours. And I have written mine. There is smile, there is sorrow, there is sacrifice, there is Romance and there is LOVE,,, all written across the sky.

ISN'T IT STRANGE the way things can change? nothing is permanent....so either ways...be thankful ..you were given the chance to take the RIDE OF THE WORLD TOGETHER...EVEN FOR A SHORT WHILE...a Ride called LOVE.

A lot of people asks me what KOKO Superstar stands for? ..

my model idol Patrick Ribsaetter has "Universal Player"
Great artist/singer Beyonce has "Sasha Fierce"
and other great personalities have their own pseudo names
they give to their alter egos...
I choose KOKO Superstar.


KOKO Superstar is someone who has a big appetite for life. He is strong and determined to achieve his dreams. He Overcomes challenges with finesse and class. He or She doesn’t need to be someone who achieved and possessed so much. He could be a KOKO Superstar just by knowing that he is able to live his life to the fullest -have fun, be happy, loving ,be romantic, laugh and cry with friends, be stylish or maybe be a bit crazy sometimes, to name a few..., but most of all he is someone who is wise and spiritual enough to share the wonderful blessings he has in this short yet meaningful journey called life... Kudos to all of you KOKO Superstars! ... :)

Here are a few thoughts to ponder shared by my good model friend Patrick Ribbsaeter.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.

"The Law of Attraction attracts to you everything you need, according to the nature of your thought. Your environment and financial condition are the perfect reflection of your habitual thinking. Thought rules the world."

Dr. Joseph Edward Murphy
Surgeon
----------------------------------


Persistence There is no substitute for persistence! It cannot be supplanted by any other quality! Remember this in the beginning and it will hearten you when the going may seem difficult and slow.Those who have cultivated the habit of persistence seem to enjoy insurance against failure. No matter how many times they are defeated, they finally arrive up near the top of the ladder. Sometimes it appears there is a hidden guide whose duty is to test people through all sorts of discouraging experiences. Those who pick themselves up after defeat and keep on trying arrive; and the world cries, "Bravo! I knew you could do it!" The hidden guide lets no one enjoy great achievement without passing the persistence test. Those who can't take it simply do not make the grade..Those who can "take it" are bountifully rewarded for their persistence. They receive, as their compensation, whatever goal they are pursuing.

Napoleon Hill
From Think and Grow Rich

"Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell'em, 'certainly I can!' - and get busy and find out how to do it."

Theodore Roosevelt1858-1919,
Twenty-Sixth U.S. President

the most important relationship is the one you build with yourself. and if you find that someone who will love the YOU you love then everything will just be perfect.-

that is..if you feel the same way to him/her

Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into your life....

As soon as you start to feel different about what you already have, you will start to attract more of the good things. More of the things you can be greatful for. You could look around and say, "Well I dont have the car that I want.I dont have the house that I want. I dont have the spouse that I want. I dont have the health that I want. " Whoah ! back up! Those are all the things you don't want. Focus on what you already have that you are greatful for. And it might be that you have the eyes to read this. It might be the clothes that you have. Yes, you might prefer something else and you might get something else pretty soon , if you start feeling grateful for what you have. - Dr Joe Vitale

"Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of gratitude"
