A Thought To Ponder

I sent a lot of inspirational quotes about LIFE to my dear mareng Adang (who look so virginal today, thanks to her white blouse, white head band and pearl earrings! hahaha) while waiting for my student to log in. We kept on teasing each other about the quotes that I sent her. Since we believe in the virtue of "give and take" (hahaha!),she sent me a link as a response to all the quotes that I sent her. After reading the text, I realized that it's worth sharing. So, here it is!

From someday to now

What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life. — Leo Buscaglia
Here’s a seven-word sentence that encompasses everything you must do to really, truly live your dream:

Move your dream from someday to now.
It’s fun to dream, to think about what you would like to do someday. But that someday part is a real problem. As long as you see your dream as occurring someday, it’s not going to happen for you. Every person who has ever achieved a dream has done so by changing that dream from someday to now.

What’s involved in doing that? Action. There is something you can do right now to begin living your dream. Of course that presents you with a real challenge. Are you serious about your dream or not? Do you truly want to live the reality of it, or do you just want to keep dreaming and wishing and hoping for it your entire life? If you’re serious, there absolutely is something you can do right now, some very definite start you can make today.

Yes, I know about the excuses. You have all sorts of them. After all, if you didn’t have all those excuses you would already be living the full and complete expression of your dream. But you’re not. What enables you to keep your distance from your dream are those very impressive excuses.
There’s not enough time. There’s not enough money. You don’t know anybody who could help you. Something’s holding you back and it’s not your fault. You’re tired. You got off to a slow start. You have a slow metabolism. What else? Do any of these sound vaguely familiar?
The most powerful excuses are the ones that are true. Some excuses are just flat-out lies, and you know it, and those are pretty easy to get beyond. But the excuses that are real and valid and reasonable and true, those have the power to hold you back forever if you let them. The good news is, you don’t have to let them.

pipol...pipol :)

I was having a chat with my two gorgeous officemates/friends about our job when out of the blue these words came out "sometimes it's not about work but the people you work with". Obviously, we were talking about our job, the reason why we are still here and just simply comparing the drive that we used to have. Our convo made me ask myself, "Why are you still here?". Oh well, aside from the salary of course (i don't want to be a hypocrite!), there are still a couple of reasons why I am still here.

First:

THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO MY HEART...they truly made my stay here (pm shift) worthwhile! :)

They're one of the reasons why I feel xcited to go to work! :)

I MISS THEM VERY MUCHO!!! But God is so GOOD and GENEROUS that He gave me two new buddies when I moved to the am shift... :)

Second:
Mareng Adang :) her positivity is soooooo contagious! lovvvvvet!


Madem Evegel...she's fabulous! hehehe :)

Again, it's not just the work, but most importantly THE PEOPLE YOU WORK WITH. :)

Sayunara!


Everything must come to an end. True indeed! :(

A co-worker/friend/sister of mine will be leaving SOON, really SOON actually. Three days from now, she'll be turning a new page in her life and will be starting a new chapter of it. I am truly happy for her because after four years, she's finally realized wat she really wanted to do. On the other hand, I'm sad. Well, it's  a given fact that I'll miss  her, but at the same time, I'm also sad for myself. Sad that until now, I still haven't figured out what I really wanted to do in my life. What career do I really want to pursue? What path do I need to follow? Should I just go with the flow or go against it?

Maybe it's time for me to stop daydreaming and start making those dreams into reality. Gonna keep the ball rolling!

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.- Henry David Thoreau

101 Years of Existence!


Last night, I received one of the saddest news I have ever received- our dear lola corazon already passed away. :(

We are not really related by blood but my siblings and I have grown to love her as our real grandmother.

Lola, I will miss cutting your nails (I am the only person in the house who is allowed to do it). I will never forget our late night chitchats about your colorful life (especially your love life). And most of all, I will always be grateful that you have let me and my sisters experience how it feels to have a grandmother. We love you lola corazon! I'll see you soon!

with much love,
pon-pon

Hey YOW!

My horoscope for today says, "Express your most tender feelings for your loved one today. Take the time to write your words down, so they'll always have them to cherish. When you write from the heart, the words will flow. " So here I am, putting my best foot forward in turning my emotions into writings.

'Twas in 2008 when we first met. We became friends and eventually fell in love.  But love has its own time, its own season and sadly 'twas not our love's time yet. So we broke up and went our separate ways. Three years have passed and I must say that the last three years have held a lot of changes in our lives. But one thing remains- that special place we hold in each other's heart.

Late last year, we decided to forget the past and give our love a second chance. We were both hesitant then for we know that the road to a successful relationship is no smooth sailing- it's rough and bumpy. We know better 'coz we've been there! (hehehe) But somehow, we've realized that successful relationships don't just happen, they are made. So, we took on the challenge.

It's been 4 months since we made that big decision. And yes, it's no smooth sailing. We have our fair share of rough waters. We fight, we make each other mad, we get hurt but it doesn't mean that we don't love each other anymore nor it's already the end of our relationship. Nothing good comes without a price tag. I know that it's normal for us to experience these things. We are two different individuals who have divergent views and interests. But as long as we share this one common goal of making our relationship last, we can make it through.

You'd always tease me that you'll marry me after 10 years. If waiting for 10 years would mean spending the rest of my life with you, then I wouldn't mind waiting. Great things come to those who wait ayt?!? Patient kaya ako! hahaha (wink!) :)



P.S
I AM SORRY for making you feel bad last night yow. :(
