Everyday is Self-Discovery

Everyday is getting to know yourself.

We should not say that we know ourselves fully.

Ooops! I can hear objections.

I personally used to say that “I know myself fully”, but every single day that I said those words – I find something unusual to me. My attitudes. My unexpected reactions.

When I am asked “If you are her, how would you respond?” – Before, I always answer it with confidence – “I will”, “I will never ever”, and “I will not surely.”  But when the said thing happens – never did I do what I said I will do. (that’s a BIG Ooops!)

Discovering yourself is not just knowing yourself. We have to act upon it, analyze what we’ve been doing – Was it right? Or Wrong? What should we do next? Are we affecting other people?

Self-Discovery is easy. But Self-Improvement Is Not.

I often hear people say, “They should accept what I am! This is me! They can’t do anything about it!”

Yes! We can’t do anything about it -

NO ONE CAN! EXCEPT YOU.

Although we are the only one who can change ourselves. We cannot deny that we NEED OTHER PEOPLE’s HELP. But! Self-Improvement is still up to ourselves.

We all have to be OBSERVANT.

We all have to HELP ourselves.

We all have different styles in learning things.

Find something that is not ONLY HELPFUL to you,

But also the ENJOYMENT in revealing the REAL YOU.

P.S.

Yes, we don’t know ourselves fully!

Don’t let anyone tell you “HE KNOWS YOU BETTER!”

NO ONE KNOWS BETTER, THAN YOU.

Keeping in Touch

I find it hard to keep in touch with my College and High School pals.

Oh! No! Not because I don’t want to. But I don’t think it is necessary to regularly give updates to every single detail to what has been happening to your life. Imagine! – when you get to see your friends again – YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO TALK ABOUT BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING!

Make them miss you sometimes. (kidding!…but..seriously)

Sometimes, my friends feel bad that I don’t text them regularly.

I feel bad that they feel bad. But you can’t make me give them updates every single time. (i am not mad!..just saying)

Ofcourse I care about them…I even miss them most of the time…

DON’T YOU LOVE THE FEELING OF MISSING AND BEING MISSED? (you don’t?)

Oh well….

I don’t know how to end this post….

“YOU GOT TO WATCH THIS VIDEO – I CRIED THE 1ST TIME I SAW IT”

and i love how Barbara W.  BLINKS HER EYES…lol

 

Disparity

How could you say we are alike?

When you are love and I am not

Whisper a word – all ears on you

But ears are deaf when so I do

 

All at once, you talk, they trust

But when I do, Recheck – they have to

You walk in, they say hi

I do too, and they say bye

Oh! my world looks so unfair

 

Or is it just me who feels unfair?

P.S.

Middle Child Syndrome. Just wanted to share.

My heart beats PAIN

I hate it when the atmosphere is quiet

Because it is when my head is loudest -

Loud with thoughts

I don’t want to hear

Then my heart beats pain

And tears flow constantly, uncontrollably.

 

P.S.

Now this is a poem. My heartfelt poem.

 

♥update:

if you were following my blog you may  have noticed that i also wrote a poem about loving Silence. Contradiction? NO. There are times when the place is quiet and when my mind embraces the quietness, then my thoughts are filled with beautiful and relaxing things. But there are times that my mind don’t just go with the flow – that’s when I am filled with thoughts I don’t wish existed.

just so you know

when KIDS talk

As I am writing my new post right this very moment. My 3 young cousins ages 11, 9 and 8 are here in my bedroom having a conversation. Yes! conversation. NOT kids chat.

Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö

Eric(9): Which is most hard? Being a woman or a man?

Denisse(11): Being a man is hardest because you have to undergo circumcision.

Eric(9): No. Being a woman is the hardest because you have a menstrual period, you have  caesarian operation when you have a baby. Men only undergo circumcision.that’s all.

Danica(8): Because Eve the first woman is the first one to have sinned.

And their conversation continues. . . .

Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö

And now they are talking if ghosts are real.

As I listen to their conversation, the first thing that I have observed is that -their references from all their stories were from the older people like my grandparents.

Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö

Danica(8): That is not true. Grandfather said . . . . . .

And so on……

Danica(8): How did you know? Did you see it?

And they also ask for evidences. They don’t easily believe on every statements said.

Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö

The kids of this new generation have a very playful mind but clever and wise.

What I had observed is that they do not easily believe with the things said by the kids their ages. BUT they truly believe what the elders have said. And in every statements they let go there is always a reference. (It is like writing a research with all the references after the evidences are provided)

Sometimes, I get annoyed when these kids ask me so much questions because I am distracted with what I am doing.

But, we must always try hard to control our temper when their playful minds seek for answers because they could remember it for the rest of their life and be part of them.

So we must be careful.

 

CONSTANT SATISFACTION – exists?

The first thing I learned in the Principles of Marketing is the word SATISFACTION.

The reason behind innovation – SATISFACTION.

The reason of buying – SATISFACTION.

The reason of selling – SATISFACTION.

The reason for hard work – SATISFACTION.

etcetera. etcetera. etcetera.

We are all working hard to achieve this state of sacred satisfaction. We create stuff and buy things with the seal of “Satisfaction Guaranteed” – but what we get is a temporary state of contentment.

Constant Satisfaction doesn’t exist. —–

—-Ooops! Maybe it does. But the only thing I could think of to provide constant satisfaction is -”when we learned to be satisfied for everything we have and everything we will have.” [oh!please give me a better version of this phrase]

They think I am a ROBOT

Yes, I am a robot.

But a very different robot.

Robot which don’t follow rules.

I have formatted my steel system with my own-made rules and principles.

I have my own way of learning.

What they forgot to see is the heart hidden inside my steel chest.

♣

I am also a book with a very bad cover.

You have to read the whole book before you get to know me.

I am always given prejudice judgments.

I can never blame them.

All of us have different ways of seeing things.

And I learned that I can never change that.

I will leave you words of wisdom from one of my favorite Philippine Senator.

“Learn to accept the things that YOU CAN’T CHANGE. And ask GOD for the strength that you’ll need to change the things that YOU CAN CHANGE.”-Senator Francis Escudero

Simple Rules Yet So Hard To Follow

IN THE BANK:

I was sitting in the SEATS (ofcourse) waiting for my turn and in front of us is a sign saying “DON’T USE YOUR CELLPHONES INSIDE THE BANK” and another one saying “PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR PHONES.” A phone rings, and it was the phone of this guy beside me. To my surprise! He took out his phone and answered the call and that’s not all.  I read the signs not too loud but enough for him to hear. He just stared at the signs and started texting again. I was like “HUH?!!! Is this for Real???”

↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔

NO PARKING AT ANY TIME

I always see signs with “NO PARKING” or “NO PARKING AT ANYTIME” but as always, after reading the signs I will see bunch of cars PARKED in FRONT of the SIGN. Great Scene!

LOADING AND UNLOADING ZONE

I also see signs with ” LOADING AND UNLOADING ZONE.” I was like “Great! Everyone will know where to wait for buses. But UNFORTUNATELY, no one stops there to LOAD OR UNLOAD passengers.

And there are also signs with “NO LOADING AND UNLOADING AT ANYTIME.” But SERIOUSLY, everybody waits for the buses there, sometimes you’ll see them even hugging and reading the signs but…they just read it..that’s all.

PEDESTRIAN LANE

I was out with friends last week and we are to cross the street. I was leading the way to the pedestrian lane but they grabbed my arm and said “NO NEED TO GET TO THE PEDESTRIAN, WE CAN CROSS RIGHT HERE.” Then I said “What are Pedestrian Lanes for if we are not to use it?” And they just laugh and said “No one crosses in the Pedestrian.” Well….I do.  Am I the only one? hope Not.

↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔

DO NOT LITTER

It was always my practice not to throw any trash (even a piece of candy wrap) anywhere. As everyone notice, when I get back home, they will open my bag and they will see lots of candy wraps in it. I learned that simple lesson from my favorite Elementary Teacher. And it has been a part of me since then. But it is very sad to see children throwing trash anywhere, even when the BIN is just a few walks away.

↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔

These things are very simple, yet we never practice them.

And because we don’t do so, NATURE is taking its revenge right this very moment.

And we can never bring back the time to correct what we have done.

I love the Philippines, that is why I always try to follow this simple rules because it is the least I can do for my country. Sometimes they even tease me of being a patriot, so what? Is that something that I should be ashamed of?

I don’t think So.
