The mababaw things in life

Make people laugh. Say goodmorning to that random stranger friend. Open the door for others. Hug people's sadness away. Surprise your friends. Play tic tac toe on a scratch paper during boring lectures. Eat like there's no tomorrow. Treat someone out for lunch. Have a meaningful conversation with a friend. Tell stupid jokes with one another. Wear a smile.

There are a thousand splendid things to be happy about everyday. The mababaw things... those are the ones we tend to disregard. We only find they're importance when we can no longer seek comfort, when everything else we hold on to falls apart or when we feel like life has betrayed us. So appreciate every single moment of bliss. It's that moment of happiness we neglect because it only happens for a while. Just like how time rushes by under our noses without us ever noticing it. The mababaw things in life - we need to learn how to take hold of them.... and to treasure them because they are always worth living for.

Dance like no one is watching. Sing even if you don't know how. Be crazy. Ask people how their day went. Share your passion with others. Listen to your friend's stories. Give advices. Tease each other. Watch the sunset. Feel the rain. leave footprints on the sand. Make paper airplanes. Doodle on your skin. Give and share no matter how little you have.

 

 

 

Exit Wounds

I wake up everyday hoping that I could, in any way, help others change for the better. I want to inspire people to be an inspiration to others. I want to do good. I want to be good.

It's not an easy process. I have been constantly battling with myself if I should do this or not...if i should continue or stop. That war between good and evil - it's the normal occurrence in life we pretend we're not part of. Because involving ourselves to that "war" makes life more complicated. So to make life a little bit better, we try to ignore. It's effortless not to care because it's also that easy not to exist.

Where's me?

I'm pulling everything together just so I could bring back my old studious self.

First Attempt

Fact #1: I can live a day without water but not without coffee.

Coffee shops have always been my study place. I never really find my room, or any part of the house, a conducive place for studying (unless of course when it's midnight and everyone else is asleep). I just somehow feel like there's distraction everywhere and that keeps me from concentrating on what's in front of me. I know that going out of the house ( or even going through the trouble of commuting at times) and spending 200 pesos just to be on the right place can be a hassle, but if that's going to help me understand my course and get better grades, well then i wouldn't mind. Oh, and it's also quite inspiring to see people who are also having a hard time comprehending their lessons...just goes to show that through the many challenges in life, you're never alone. Watching medical students understand pathology of diseases, law students transforming their law books into coloring pads (I really have no idea why they use 3 or 4 colors for highlighting), management students with their laptops and the other people who are just busy with their own stuff somehow give me the extra push to make things work no matter how little energy I have left.

Anyway, I stayed at Starbucks for 4 hours today hoping to finish reviewing for my Nursing Care Management (NCM) 103 quiz on monday. Luckily and surprisingly, I did finish. But I think I would've finished earlier if I didn't talk to arcee over the phone for 30 minutes and if I didnt spend 15 minutes arguing with her to answer her phone, because she was tamad to.

I'm Not A Morning Person

BRAIN, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE ACTIVE AT NIGHT? :\ THIS IS JUST GOING TO MAKE ME CONSUME MORE COFFEE.

Old Habits die hard

Hello world!

Hi!

This is me trying to change my perspective in life. This is me wanting to unleash my inner potential...to just give more than my 100% in everything i do, big or small. This is me aiming for the best. This is me going for the goal. This is me running to the finish line.

I created this blog because I want to share  take note of my life's struggles, the frustrations,  the failure, the depression, the stress and the breakdown. But more importantly, I want people to know to constantly remind myself  that despite all the battles lost, i still chose to stand, to experience the little bits of happiness, to laugh, to be positive and to believe.

 
“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”- Grey's Anatomy

P.S. I'm not a good writer. Grammar's my mortal enemy.
