Honesty means KIDS

The usual scenario is that a kid or a young adult is not allowed or often stopped to share or give his/her own opinion on matters concerning the elders.

KIDS are the most honest person you’ll ever meet because they say exactly what is going on inside their head. In other words THEY HAVEN’T LEARNED YET HOW TO LIE.

So…Elders say Kids are the most honest, yet they seldom acknowledge what kids has to say.

Is it because we, older ones, can’t accept the harsh truth?

Maybe.

Or is it because we prefer believing and living a convenient lie?

Can be.

Being a kid (actually up until now that I am a young adult), I am always prevented to speak up. Always told to keep the thoughts (which they do not approved of) to myself.

Our elders can really stop me from talking, BUT they can never stop me  from having my very own opinion forming in my head.

I say, “let the children talk, if they are prevented from speaking up their thoughts, we can never correct the FOUL opinion they have.”

PS: I admit my nose grows like Pinocchio’s half the time.

2012 – End of the World??

Wheew!!! I just got home!

I love talking to older people because they always tell stories -true stories-fables, and always -I learn new things from them.

So.. Yeah! I visited my Aunt and Uncle in Tarlac Philippines, and we all had a great chat about the movie 2012 DOOMSDAY and about the Mayans. And this is what I have learned from our chat.

—

I will not talk about the Mayans yet, but expect that I’ll be talking about them soon on my post. I haven’t done my research about the Mayans yet so, I will talk about the SUN today.

Yes! THE SUN.

I personally believe that the Earth-Universe or the whole world will soon come to an end. It is not only because of the damage that people have done to Earth but mainly because it is written in the Bible.

Many people don’t believe that the world will end. I know someone who believe that it is all fiction and will never happen-Life will go on and on forever (they say).

We all know that the SUN is a STAR-a dwarf star.

And STARS have a life span. They die too. They fade away. They explode when they die. (Please correct me if I am wrong – Science is not my favorite subject!:)) That is why we have “SUPERNOVA” – star explosion.. (if I am not mistaken)

Our SUN being a STAR – also have a lifespan, and also expected to create a big explosion or Supernova when it dies. SUN being the only star near the Earth will have a great impact on the Earth.Imagine the impact will be if the SUN dies..Oh! No!! Don’t imagine it. It’s scary!

I don’t want to make assumptions here. (I ain’t playing scientist.) But I wanted to make my own theory which is also open for discussions and corrections. Our SUN is already old. And even getting older every single day.

What if?

It is how you see it

I was a zombie last night or early morning. I was awake till 4:00 am.

So, please excuse the “frustrated artist” that have risen from me again last night or this early morning – whatever it is.

♥

“It’s how you see it”

That phrase kept running through my head last night slash morning.

♥

I was always a mediator when 2 friends of mine have disagreements. And always I have seen how different their perception can be on the same matter.

Perceptions can cause disagreements.

♥

“First impressions don’t last.”

Why is that?

I judge and picture a person based on how I see her, in our conversation, and how I see her attitude towards other people – sometimes even how she dress up.

People always say to me–

“You are an open book.” “I know what you are thinking!.”

DO THEY REALLY KNOW? That is how they see me.

But when I get to ask them what they know about what’s on my mind — It is always a very different story.

I say “FIRST IMPRESSIONS will last until we decided to ask people what do they really think and not make our own assumptions based on how we see them.”

“IT’S HOW WE SEE IT”

CoolnWeird is a very sensitive homo sapien human being. She gets hurt because she takes some matters seriously until she’ll cry her heart out.

Then she’ll realize (only after she gets eye bags) it is not the person or the words that is giving her pain. IT IS CoolnWEIRD herself – who makes her cry.

WHY?

YOU are hurting because you think and you see that you should be hurt, but actually you can choose not to get hurt and be  affected.

“Always look at the BRIGHT SIDE” – someone always tell me that.

 

 

She Didn’t Even Say Thank You

This is another page of my High School Days.

Every year in school we celebrate the school’s “Foundation Day.”

That is a week of NO CLASSES..uhmm…celebration.

What I love most in that celebration is the Student’s Night where you could dance your butt out. And also the “Mr. & Ms. CAMPUS” competition.

Now, there is a GIRL who joined the competition for “Ms. CAMPUS” and she asked me to help her answer the questions given to them for the competition.

So, I helped her eagerly…I mean I answered all the questions for her.

So came the night for the pageant. I got a copy of the answers I gave her- so when it was her turn to answer a question – I was stunned because she was really good in memorization. (as if she was reading the answer copy that I gave her)

LUCKY HER!!!!!

SHE WAS AWARDED THE “MS. CAMPUS” OF THE YEAR.

After the competition, she saw called me.

So I came to congratulate her, and also WAITING for her to say “THANK YOU” to me.

But all I heard was a different story. She was telling the crowd and me these words – “Oh my God! I was so nervous and thank God I answered the question perfectly, it’s like- the answer just popped out of my head from nowhere.”

P.S.

No one knows about this story. I didn’t told anyone (well, except now.) because I don’t want to ruin her—–

“I-WON-BECAUSE-I’M-BRILLIANT-AND-PRETTY” moment.

She never said Thank You to me.

I almost forgot this story. It was her fault that I remembered it again – because I heard her one time giving someone a piece of advice from her PAGEANT EXPERIENCE.

I’m Cool And Weird Because _____

Okay, this question is for all of us.

But I’ll answer first,

I am the only person I know who locks herself in her bedroom, shut the lights, open her closet, sit there, and weep (sometimes).

WHY? I don’t know but it does something good to me – calms me down.

lol…weird eh???

“There are certain things in life which happens and you just can’t find any answer or reason behind it. And sometimes – It is better to just leave it unanswered.”

HOW BOUT YOU?

The SAD Truth

Today I wanted  to share to you a sad but true story, sometimes even more frustrating and annoying, but whatever my reaction would be – it has always no effect to the current situation, and doesn’t make any significant changes. But anyway, I still wanted to let it out of my chest.

Last week, as we were driving on the National Highway road of San Fernando (Pampanga), there is a HUGE HUGE traffic. It is because there is an ongoing road construction. The traffic gave us a huge amount of time to talk about the national highway construction.

My grandfather said that the workers are Filipinos but the BIG BOSSES of the said PUBLIC Highway construction are Koreans.

I was shocked and mumbled sarcastically, “WOW! Koreans bossing around us in our own country.”

My grandfather said that it is understandable and he thinks it is a good decision of the Philippine Government to assign Koreans as the BOSSES of the road construction. WHY?

He said that the Filipinos tend to revenge to our corrupt government by doing corruption themselves when they are given a project by the government. Filipinos corrupt half the budget given to them by the government. So, having Koreans as the BOSSES will prevent that kind of situations.

Really Really Frustrating!!!!

——-

I am not frustrated with Koreans bossing around Filipinos, BUT with the Filipinos corrupt actions  which had led to this kind of situation.

I Hurt Someone

This has been the toughest week of my entire life.

That is also one reason why I couldn’t make a new post.

I hurt someone so badly without meaning to.

and I don’t know how to make it up for —

[urgh! i don't want to cry!]

What done is done.

What I had said cannot be undone.

And I feel really bad.

There is one thing I am so sure of-

Things won’t be the same again.

Oh! Me and My stupid etiquette!

….

Realizing that you had hurt someone is more painful than being hurt by someone.

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.
