if things seem to go well and someone or something stops you in your tracks, go on.

 

it takes a large amount of courage to take the risk.  like they say, it’s always better to try than to have never tried at all and wonder about how things may have gone all your life.

 

mistakes doesn’t make you less of a person. i remember the lines said by Jessica in the movie Eclipse:

 

“When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were thing like astronaut, president, or in my case… princess.

When we were ten, they asked again and we answered – rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we’ve grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how ’bout this: who the hell knows?!

This isn’t the time to make hard and fast decisions, its time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love – a lot. Major in philosophy ’cause there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent.

So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… we won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”

Move.  Move forward. That’s how it is to live and be alive. If you must throw away your pride, do so. Having dignity is far different from nursing your pride. Humility isn’t humiliating in itself.

Inherit The Wind

found out about this in a book i was reading and i looked it up online. apparently it was first written for a play derived from the Scopes trial in Tenessee (1925). here’s some more info from the google video site:

“Inherit the Wind (1960) portrays, in partly fictionalized form, the famous and dramatic courtroom “Monkey Trial” battle (in the sultry summer of 1925 in Dayton, Tennessee) between two famous lawyers (Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan) who volunteered to heatedly argue both sides of the case (over 12 days, including two weekends). Its story centers around the issue of evolution vs. creationism, in the prosecution of 24 year-old Dayton High School mathematics teacher and sports coach – and substitute science teacher – John T. Scopes for violating state law (the 1925 Butler Act) by teaching the Darwin’s theory of evolution in a state-funded school. The film’s title was taken from the Biblical book of Proverbs 11:29: “He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind.” [In fact, Scopes deliberately agreed to challenge the Tennessee legislature’s statutes and become a “friendly” test case for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) by allegedly teaching theories that denied the Biblical story of the divine creation of man. Although Scopes was brilliantly defended by Darrow, Scopes was found guilty and fined $100 on July 21st. In 1927, Darrow and the ACLU appealed the case before the Tennessee Supreme Court, which invalidated the Dayton court decision on a minor technicality – the fine should have been set by the jury, not the judge, they ruled – and the case was dismissed without further appeal. Because the Butler Act was still on the books in the mid-1950s, on July 10, 1955, the ACLU formally requested that Tennessee Governor Frank G. Clement initiate the repeal of that law. But the law remained on the books for over another decade. In 1968, the US Supreme Court ruled in Epperson v. Arkansas that bans such as the Butler Act were unconstitutional, because they contravened the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, since their primary purpose was religious.]”

Swamped — the journey of a reluctant soul

When you’re taught through feelings

When you’re taught through feelings
When you’re taught through feelings
When you’re taught through feelings
Ooooohhhhhh

Destiny flying high above
All I know is that you can realize (realize}

Destiny who cares {destiny who cares}
As it turns around {as it turns around}
And I know that it descends down on me

It’s just another day
The shame is gone
Hard to believe
That I’ve let it go, let it go, let it go

Destiny can’t replace my life
Scary shadows of my past
are alive {alive)

Destiny who cares {destiny who cares}
As it turns around {as it turns around}
And I know that it descends
With a smile

Just another day
The shame is gone
It’s hard to believe
That I’ve let it go away

It’s just a melody
It bleeds in me
Hard to believe
That I’ve let it go

When you’re taught through feelings
When you’re taught through feelings
When you’re taught through feelings
When you’re taught through feelings
Ooooohhhhhhh

Just another day
The shame is gone
It’s hard to believe
That I’ve let it go away

It’s just a melody
It bleeds in me
It’s hard to believe
That I’ve let it go, let it go, let it go

i had always loved this song 🙂 the beat makes me feel alive XD the lyrics may seem vague at first glance but it actually has a deeper meaning.

 

When you’re taught through feelings — this line would probably relate to intuition.. the inner voice that speaks to us and guides us..

Destiny flying high above. All I know is that you can realize — sooner or later everybody will come to understand, nothing is coincidental, everything is inevitable.

Destiny who cares as it turns around .. And I know that it descends down on me — no matter how hard we try to ignore it, things will eventually happen.

It’s just another day. The shame is gone. Hard to believe that I’ve let it go, let it go, let it go — everyday will be a day of joy, potentials being realized without the guilt imposed by society to those who want to realize their dreams… dreams of being your true self.

Destiny can’t replace my life. Scary shadows of my past are alive. Destiny who cares as it turns around and I know that it descends with a smile. — and yet how much we resist to realize our full potential because of the horrible past that taunts us, the good things will still come as soon as we accept our mistakes, move on and realize what the present has to offer.

Just another day, the shame is gone. It’s hard to believe that I’ve let it go away. It’s just a melody, it bleeds in me hard to believe that I’ve let it go. — and finally, everything will come to fruition. what was once a single thought had created ripples and has set everything in motion. we listen to the inner voice within because it is a part of us that we cannot deny. We let go of our past troubles. We let go of our pride. We let go of our ego. We realize that everyone and everything is ONE and everything will fall into place.

Happy Day Saturday Birthday!

birthday ko kahapon 🙂 nag enjoy ako ng bongga kahet haggard na ko sa pagluluto at pag asikaso ng mga bisita 😀 today lang nag sink in yung pagod pero keribels lang.

 

nagplano ng surprise party yung mga kabarkada ko :)) sila ang nasurprise nung naghanda ako kaya dinaan nalang nila sa regalo…. at bongga talaga akong nasupresa sa binigay nila sakin 😀

 

noon pa kase pinasabi sakin galing keh principal na kelangan ko ng singing bowl. natawa si trish at naisip daw nyang kaya siguro hindi natuloy ang surprise party eh for that reason. “nothing is ever a coincidence, only the inevitable” ika nga. and so they decided to give me the bowl for my birthday present! 😀 lol

 

as i blew my birthday candle, i allowed myself to wish for one thing na alam kong hindi pa pwede sa ngayon: “sana may dumating na na matinong lalaki sa buhay ko.” then after blowing my candle my mom said

“matanda ka na, pwede ka na mag asawa”

gyahahahahaha another lol moment i was like: “noon ayaw nyo ko magka boypren, ngayon sabi nyo mag asawa na ko?”

then she was like “eh matino ka na eh.” XD

amfotek. hindi ko talaga sya maintindihan :))

 

another year has passed, another digit added to my age. somehow i feel different. i may look a lot more older now but i’d like to believe that i am aging with grace (naks meh ganun).  😀

 

last year was a rampage of sorts — everything came and went all too fast that it was almost a blur yet it felt like it was happening in slow motion at the same time. (yes i know magulo yung explanation but i hope you get my drift 😛 ) friends went in and out of my life in a snap. let’s just say we all had our little shares of realizations kaya nangyari yung mga ganung bagay. when one doesn’t cope up, they end up giving up  and sometimes sad part is, they may put up a fight but the result doesn’t seem to be pretty.

 

and now, i am considering this time as my “new year” — fresh start, new beginnings and now, i want to set things right kahet na mabagal basta ang importante ay magawa ko sya ng maayos hindi dahil sa pinilit ako kung di dahil gusto ko din talaga. it’s hard to keep pace with what you’re doing at times, mas lalo na nadiskubre kong nature talaga ng ibang signs ko sa natal chart ko na hindi ako mahilig sa monotony XD but i am taking the measures of having to associate my monotonous rituals into something i look forward to. 🙂 and so far it works. slowly but surely. i am actually hoping i will be able to do this for a year without fail. inuunti unti ko. will write about this in another entry though 🙂

 

i am greatful that in my 28 years of existence in this plane that i am blessed to meet wonderful people and some not so wonderful but still made an impact on my life lol :)) with all the heartaches and joys that i’ve been through, i am proud to say that it had helped make me into what i am now. i may not be perfect, but through my imperfections i still can say “mabait sakin si Lord”. why? dahil alam kong may mga bagay na hindi talaga para sakin, at may mga taong tumutulong at umaalalay sakin sa mga aspetong alam kong may pagkukulang ako.  now i have learned to appreciate the simple things and these “simple” things cannot be replaced by anything material or nothing can take them away from me.

 

well as for the boyfriend part and getting married part… alam kong matanda na ko at posibleng maging matandang dalaga ako pag nagkataon :)) but i guess i really need to fix myself up first. i have a strong feeling someone out there is right for me, yung talagang makakaintindi sakin, makakasunod sa kaweirduhan ko at takbo ng utak ko.  lol i remember what amby told me earlier sa ym… and i quote:

“Amby: bakla napanaginipan kita

ngayon, hindi na din ako pwede mag bisyo. kung nung mga nakaraang araw eh hindi ko naiintindihan kung bakit, ngayon… masakit man tanggapin pero kelangan ko na talagang itigil hehehe. ang yosi nakakabawas sa hininga, nakakapagod, nakakasabaw ng utak. ang pag inom, nakakasira ng pantog at ng atay at mas lalo na nakakasira ng skin! hehehehe pagmalinis ang katawan, malinis ang isipan, masigla ang pananaw sa lahat ng bagay bagay. yan ang narealize ko nung isang linggo akong nag hiatus mag bisyo at bumalik ulit pagtapos ng isang linggo. mas masayang walang bisyo, menos pa sa gastos at sa katulad kong madalas masabaw, mas nakagana ng utak. sunod kong iintindihin pagtapos ng pag alis ng bisyo eh ang pagtulog ko at pag kain ng tama >_< grabe mahaba habang training sa katawan to. pero alam kong ginagawa ko to kase nakakabuti ito sakin at hindi ako napipilitan 🙂 alam kong mas mapapabuti din ang pagpasok ko sa aether ocampo high kapag naayos ko na ang lahat ng mga ito. all else will follow talaga na parang isang malupit na domino effect!

 

so anyway 🙂 that pretty much sums up the highlights of my yearly ordeal. wish ko lang this new year would be kind to me XD hahahahaha
