Seven Lessons From 2019

• Wishes prayed and worked with God will always be granted. God always acts in mysterious ways. His ways may always seem different from yours, but it will always be done.

• Friends are important in any stages of life: at young age, good or bad, friends are random but always bring happiness; we become adult, true friends are those still by your side regardless if you are above or below the wheel, and are useful for connections and influence; at old age, obviously, friends are for happy memories.

• Blood is always thicker than water. You will always have a second thought choosing between a best friend that is always there for you all your life, and a long-lost sibling that you have a chat with for a minute.

• Work. Try all the things that you want to experience. But do not ever, ever forget those things you are passionate about. When you lose passion, you lose yourself.

• Being patient does not mean getting the desired output, but teaches us more in the on-going process. Missed opportunities are fruits of short patience; you lose the chance to learn and to change while working on something.

• Take away all the fear inside you. Fear is the most dreadful disease. It is more toxic than cancer. It poisons your heart and mind, encouraging body weakness.

• Be kind. It may reward you soon. You do not know what tomorrow has for you. And in this “adulting” stage of life, kindness is the most precious trait that you can learn.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

They always ask me why I love Mondays.

Monday is always a second chance.

You may win or lose — Tuesday to Sunday — but Monday will always give you a new start.

A chance to work harder. A chance to forgive. A chance to change.

Tots #10

I’ve got the courage to express myself.

But got rejected before I know it.

Another unspoken words. Another cliffhanger. Another what-if story.

No more questions.

I deserve it.

Ten Lessons From 2018

• We should always believe in luck: it is the secret recipe of success; because not all who perseveres gain triumph.
• Time can be a friend if spent wisely. But most of the time, time is a threat, an enemy; a split-second decision can change your life.
• As we grow older, we learn to spend more time with our family. We accept the fact that family, through highs and lows, is home.
• We also appreciate those friends who are still want to be with us unconditionally. Keep them. They are precious.
• Learn to evaluate ourselves every time specially when committing in any relationship. We tend to believe that in order to cast away all the negativity in life is to eliminate those we believe are toxic people, but in reality, we do not realize that you, is the toxic one. In that case, you are hopeless.
• Learn to say sorry. It cleanses emotional pain. It is the easiest way to closure.
• And learn to say please, especially in desperate times. Do not mind about your ego; they do not care about it after all.
• Love will set us free? No. Forgiveness will set us free.
• Love is the twin of pain. So forgiveness must be the twin of consequence. All people are willing to take forgiveness, but not consequences. Learn to forgive, yes, but make sure to give the consequences.
• I have just learned how to use chopsticks. It is entertaining . . . and I do not want to use it again.

Isang malaking bagay sa akin ang panunuod ng pelikula, lalo na iyong mga isinabuhay galing sa libro. Subalit mas malaking bagay sa akin kung mas nauna kong basahin ang bersyon ng libro kaysa sa palabas. Pakiramdam ko kasi, inagaw sa ‘kin ang misteryo kung uunahin ko ang palabas. Sa palabas, nakadikta na ang lahat sa manunuod. Sa libro, ikaw ang gagawa ng sarili mong mundo.

Ganoon kahiwaga ang pagbabasa — iisang kuwento, iba’t ibang imahinasyon.
