Cool Thoughts

These are some quotes, ideas, thoughts that have been running through my mind the past weeks! Inspiring.. Worth-noting.. and very true!


Karma comes back to bite you in the butt.

Be the change that you want to see in the world.

Sometimes we search for answers that are right in front of us.

Being happy is when for once in your life you'll never have to work for it.

You may know what you want but a lot of things will happen along the way.

It's harder everyday.

It's tough being me.

If there's something you could do, have fun.

Maybe tomorrow the Good Lord will take you away.

Too many words left unspoken.

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.

Holiday Update

12.25.2007 Christmas Day. Went to Calamba in Laguna, my home province to visit my relatives there. I'm happy I got the chance to have a nice time chatting with them. I became a Santa for a day too when I gave them gifts. Well it was really a nice feeling when I get to see my goddaughter Eunice because its like a year ago I think that I saw her.

After my visit in Calamba, went to see Danilo,for a gimik in Alabang. We went to see an MMFF film, along with Lawrence his cousin and Jen.

12.30.07. Post Kanlungan Xmas Party. Met up with Olga in the morning to accompany her in going at Danilo's Crib, where the party is to be held. We were the early birds! haha! After waiting for the others, we had our hefty lunch! After our lunch, we sing our hearts out to the videoke and had a time to reminisce our college days! Everyone was surprised when JR, who is in Dubai right now, called! So we passed the phone to each other and had a short talk with him!

Melvin and Olga went home early, which was followed by Anet and Hapi. Cha, Madj, Jen and I decided to stay and we chilled at the LB Square and after dropping home Cha at their house, Madj, Jen and I decided to sleep over at Danilo's house.

I hope, we could push through with our plan of going back at Balai Beach in San Juan Batangas before Danilo leaves for Australia! Well that's it for now!

It's been quite a number of Christmas' and New Years'now that I've been trying to be happy, but maybe you'll not get it when you keep yourself confined in a situation which you yourself cannot contain and brings you to solitude. I could say that I'm a prisoner of my situation and I just don't think I could get a pardon from it, and so I might as well wait until I've served my sentence. Why? Maybe because I chose to be in this situation, I've embraced it like I don't have a choice. One thing maybe that I could consider to continue is the fact that I've always get through all the crap in my life. I just hope I won't run out of reasons to go on.

Finally! I'm at Peace!

* I think I need to be satisfied with everything I am getting from them.

** I should not expect more from them and accept that there’s a difference in maturity that we have. Having a different level of maturity I cannot expect the level of loyalty or trust even companionship that is constantly on my mind.

*** I hate goodbyes, been to many already. Just the thought of it pains me bigtime! But despite this, I’ve come to realize that nothing is really permanent and if something or someone would leave you, it simply means that they have served their purpose, and it’s time to let go. It’s time to move on. It would only be a bonus for you if even the thing/person which have become a part of you, after serving its/his/her purpose, stays with you. In line with this, the following quote in Tuesdays with Morrie is noteworthy: “Learn to detach. Don’t cling to things because everything is impermanent. But detachment doesn’t mean you don’t let the experience penetrate you. You let it penetrate you fully. That’s how you are able to leave it.”

With all of these said, and to end this post, I can say that I’m quite over with the phase I’ve been through the past weeks. And I think the best part of the phase I’ve been through is that I’ve learned that we should enjoy the moments we have with people/things around us, while they are serving their purpose in our life.

GIMIK UPDATE

THURSDAY 12.13.07- After our Admin Law Forced Xmas Party and a not-so-successful-forced xmas party-yet-unexpected one person recit in Transpo Class, Teta, Nil, Mike Mari and I went to Tagaytay. It was funny when, the three of us Nil, Mike and I, decided to think of our female names, and our names were: Nadia Bongga for me; Pining Gercia for Mike and Tina Moran for Nil! Haha!

Our first stop was in Mushroom Burger, since it is about to close in minutes we went to Starbucks but we were kicked out because we weren’t allowed to eat our foods there. Good thing there’s a grassy area near our parking slot so we just settled for it. Another good thing is that, the grassy area proved to be one cool spot for our photo-ops! Haha!

After our photo-ops, we side-tripped at Paseo, then went to Mari’s crib and had our “Girly Talk” haha! Well the talk revolved with one question in which we were allowed to ask follow-up questions. The question was: “Kamusta na Ang Puso Mo?” haha!

It was really a good feeling when you get to share what you feel and advise some things to my friends, which I think I did based on my experience and, oh yeah age, since I am a little older than them. A lot of revelations, a lot of emotions, that’s to sum up the talk we had.

FRIDAY- 12.14.07. The next morning, I woke up last and after breakfast, I slept again while they dance their way to dance revo. There wasn’t an announcement that we don’t have a class in Business Organization but still we were so lazy enough not to go to school. Mike and I went home a little early in the afternoon, we had our late lunch at shakey’s with my brothers, drove Mike to his apartment and then I went home to prepare for our pool party at my house.
It was a one cool pool party we had. I even smoke cigar again, and Nil haha! Anyway it was one fun night!

MONDAY- 12.17.07. Since we heard the news that there will be no class in our Insurance Law, I decided to stay home, but Nil and Mari went to Mike’s apartment and invited me to come over, but since I need to shop for groceries, they just followed me at Festival Mall. The funny thing was I was not prepared when they invited me to come over at Mari’s crib, because Mike’s going to fix Mari and Nil’s computers. After dinner, a long casual talk which ended up in Mari gushing into tears happened. I was really surprised about Mari’s emotional status right now, I hope she could get over Nil and move on without having to put everything she has gained into trash.

TUESDAY 12.18.07- As planned, Mike and I did not attend the San Beda Law Party. We however pushed through with our plan of having a last gimik with Cas before Mike leaves for Palawan. We decided to go to Sitcom Comedy Bar, we were lucky enough that there was an event, wherein Jose and Wally and Sugar and Ate Gay will be performing. It was really a fun night for the three of us. It was one hell of a stress reliever! And what I am glad about is that the three of us, who happens to share everything we feel from our deepest sorrows and joys, got the chance to be together! :)

WEDNESDAY 12.19.07- After our gimik the other night, and after sleeping for quite long at Mike’s apartment, we went to ATC to have a late lunch, then to Metropolis to find some computer parts. We went back to Alabang Town Center and then waited for Yves at Mcdo, then went back to Mike’s apartment without knowing that we will be caught by the MMDA traffic enforcers after counter-flowing. Hehe! Anyway, we went back to Festival Mall to buy some gifts, and then headed home. It was so tiring, not only because of countless walking we did, but the traffic was so heavy that night, just hope Mike was able to pack his clothes well. haha!

Just a quote

"Sometimes you just have to try not to care, no matter how much you do. Because sometimes, you can mean nothing to someone who means everything to you. It's not pride, it's called self-respect."

I seem to agree with this quote, sent to me via text by a friend.. :(

A friendly advice..

Learn to detach..
Put some insensitivity in your dealings with the people around you..

Random Thoughts and Current Updates 01

11.12.07 Sometimes you’ll be surprised that the things you never expected to happen would hit you on your face without even a warning. And all the while you just didn’t see it coming. But it’s quite a relief in a way that the things you always wish you could share to others came in handy in the most unexpected times..

> What would you feel when you are left empty-handed? What would you feel when you don’t have any idea what’s going on around you? What would you feel if the people whom you expect to be honest enough for you just turn back on you? What would you feel when you are left out? Confucius was really brilliant! Yan Kasi! Karma ka!

> Yan ang nagagawa ng umuupo sa kasumpa-sumpang first row aisle, natatanong ka ng professor mo during a no-recitation class.. Tapos ang itatanong pa sayo yung mga na-take up nyo last semester na ibang subject na kinukuha mo sa kanya ngayon. Ang saya diba? Pa-uso tuloy ang mga sagot ko! Haha!

11.13.07 It feels good when you get to share your thoughts, ideas and even your problems and your life with others.. It feels good when you know that you can trust someone..

> Iba din pala yung pride pag regular law student ka pa din and wala ka pang binabagsak.. I’m not saying that I am a brilliant student, hindi naman ako consistent na diligent student, but somehow I managed to get a slice of everything that a Law Student should have to pass..

> Swerte ba talaga ako pag nag-shuffle na ng class cards ang professor? Kasi kanina ang saya napunta sa pinakadulo ang class card ko di tuloy ako natawag sa recit! Haha! Saya!
