Away from Modular...

It's fun to have a ride outside Metro Manila, "away from the hustle bustle of city life" according to my mom. One great way to dE-stress oneself. Add to that the joy of having a baby who laughs, stands, walks, and observes his surroundings at half a year old!!

Aside from being away from the thoughts of accounting for one day, I was able to think and reflect once more...the kind where one thought flows at a time...

"We learn our virtues from the friends who love us
Our faults from the enemies who hate us
We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend.
He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes
the clearness of the reflection."

This is one of the quotes I get from my daily subscription to the forwarded messages of my friends (who are so rich they're always unlimited ü) What made me choose this quote to be posted in my blog is the fact that this is so apparent in my life(Now I know bakit ako mahilig maghanap ng away). Yes, I'm still in search of my identity. And I can still remember all those days before when we're having a forum wherein each person is about to tell each one something positive and something negative about him/herself...and I haven't gotten any negative comment. Am I that good or are they just blind?

"....I told myself I'll never draw again. And I never did."
This was a line from Direk Joey Reyes' recount of his story when he was still a kid. It was about his real dream to draw. But because of a certain event in his life, he stopped to work his way towards that dream. Too bad I wasn't able to get the whole story word per word, thinking what he'll say will be just one of those tackless comments he gives the scholars. It will be the first time I would agree with him..."there are so many frustrations in life"
When I was analyzing my handwriting, I couldn't believe that I have frustrations. But after hearing his story and after some thought, I was able to see the truth behind my analysis. There are so many things I wanted to do and so many dreams I wanted to achieve but I was not able to do any. Instead I'm stuck with accounting modular and with people who claim themselves to be not boring. But come to think of it, I shouldn't really blame the modular or anybody else because if I really had the drive, I would have been able to do more than just accounting and I might not even need to choose and incur opporunity costs. Because as you can see, it's not really about the circumstances not giving us the chance. It's about ourselves not confronting the conflicts in life. It's about us not doing anything about it.

"Only one thing is constant in this world...and that is change"
People change PERIOD. Whether these changes are for good or not, we can't really tell. I've changed...a lot. And I somehow hate it because I believe I am not me anymore. By that, I mean I am not the person I once loved to be. I was that person who loved the chills, the thrills, the heights, the fast rides,the challenges, etc. But because of certain people who came into my life and because of certain situations I've been in, I have unconsciously changed. And now, I was able to look back and see why I want another motorcycle ride, why I was looking over the hills when everyone's stomach has turned upside down with that,etc,etc.
One thing's for sure though, once in a lifetime, someone will walk into our lives and will make such an impact that we are changed forever.
Indeed, I may change back to the person I once was because the change I've undergone was unconsciously done. But I may never be changed again in certain ways that someone has touched and I willingly and consciuosly changed.


People have suggested coffee, people have suggested tea, people have suggested apple, but none of it ever worked for me...
I was up at 7:20 am this morning and I still haven't felt the nudge of sleep on my shoulders. This was the very first time I went out on a trip and was wide awake on the way to our destination and back to my home...All through the works of nicotine! Now I know Nicotine is a better stimulant than Caffeine...no wonder, they are always wide awake...

Don't Speak....
I don't know why I started to blog again. I was about to leave this inactive because only two things happen when I let things out. It's either things don't turn out the good way that it was originally directed to OR things get worse. Either way, things go in the negative. So I thought sometimes (or make it often times), it's better to just shut up and don't speak at all. Maybe I just missed blogging...that's all.
