My so-called-LIFE

Lessons I learned

Now that I will be turning 26 years old this month, I am posting advices that I have learned along the way .

1. Think ... Think....Think ..

Every decision in my life requires deep thinking and praying as well. I weigh the consequences associated with my actions.

2. No regrets

I always stick to what I have already deciced on and I refused to blame anyone if it was a wrong decision . I always believe that everything has a purpose in life and we must learn from it.

3. Stick to what you know

It is always best to trust your instinct . Trust the knowledge that you have and if you don't know something , don't force yourself to answer it or try to act as if you know everything. Do research and try to grasp as much knowledge that you can .

4. Count your blessings

Life is not perfect . Sometimes your up and sometimes your down . Learn to value what you have and be thankful for what you have. A wise man once said ., " Don't complain that you don't have any shoes for the man next to you may not have any feet. "

5. People Change

I am not the person who has a thousand friends but I can say that for most people that I have created relationships with , they change. There is always something new with someone. Change is inevitable so don't assume that people are always the same. However, I know that what matters most is the values that we treasure. People may change in appearance or lifestyle but deep inside what they value in life still remains.

6. Life holds many surprises

I always plan for the future . I plan ahead since I hate the unknown . Yet it is for a fact that we can't predict out future. And true enough life holds many surprises along the way. When I was young , I had a lot of plans for my life and now it didn't turned out to be what I had hoped for . No regrets though since change happens. And I always appreciate what I have and not focus on what I can't do

7.Laugh

Worrying makes you look old and laughing carries with it a vibe of positive energy .

8. I can't control people but I can control how I will react to others

I can't expect people to be like me but I alone can control how I feel about other people.

9. Respect

Before I would always argue with someone so that my opinion would be accepted. I was and still am a good debater. Yet as I grew older I realized that you can't always change the point of view of someone. Its better to not comment about it and just respect it. Yet my silence doesn't mean that I agree with you.

9. Learn to pick your fights

There are battles worth fighting for and there are small stuff that are not worth fussing about. If it can't change your life in a drastic way, then learn to let go .

Lastly , Live life with faith and love. Endure in your faith in God and love for others.

When You're Gone

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side

When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

These are the lyrics from the song of Avril Lavigne " When You're Gone" . When I saw the music video of this song , it felt so corny but when I listened to the lyrics it felt so sentimental .

The only time that we hold on to a person is only when they walk out of our lives. T

What A World...

They say na masama yung mag tsismis sa kapwa pero I just can't resist to share this story . I hope I will be forgiven for this one.

The first time I heard this story I was sort of amused but what happened last night was not very amusing at all.

You see I knew of a couple and when I first saw them there was something odd about them . I though to myself that they just fell in love with each other .

But a friend of mine shared to me the story on how they came to be what they are , " husband and wife ". You see before they got together , Mr. So and So ( lets call them that ) was the live - in partner of Mrs. So and So's mother . It was husband and wife's mother first. Mrs. So and So 's parents were separated . I can't say divorce since there is no divorce here in the Philippines .

Anyways , wife , Mrs. So and So , was a little bit weird and she claimed that that something was wrong with her . Since the place where they lived was in a remote area , Mr. So and So sought the help of a quack doctor or albularyo . And the albularyo's diagnosis was that a dwarf fell in love with Mrs. So and So. Mrs. So and So was told that the only way that she can get rid of the dwarf 's love for her was if she have sex with someone.

Now , clever Mr. So and So saw this as an opportunity and they did it. She in turn got pregnant and they have been married now for more than 2 years now.

I admit that their story was amusing knowing about the reason why they got together . But tonight , I had to write their story since I am no longer amused . Instead I feel pity and sad for both of them.

Just tonight while I was watching TV , I heard glasses breaking , doors banging and a voice of a man so loud. It was Mr. So and So . He was so drunk and he was causing quiet a stir that I had to reprimand him. He said that this was just husband and wife quarreling .

I was told that this is how He is when he gets drunk. I felt shame for his wife and pity as well . I know that it is not of my business but seeing them makes me question marriage .

Did a dwarf really caused this ? Is the story really true ? Or was it just lust and foolishness . They say that inside an alcoholic man is an emotionally unbalance person. And Mrs. So and So, I can't say all good things about her . Many have observed her to be emotioally imbalanced as well . Their kid can't even talk at the age of 2 .

I know that I am being such a bad neighbor gossiping about them . But I just can't help myself. Sorry about this..
