That's why I must always smile...
I do not want to ruin somebody's suppose-to-be-perfect-happy day that's why I always make sure to wear my sweetest smile whenever some acquaintances, some people I somehow know by face, and most especially my friends who pass across my direction. Even when I feel troubled or disgusted by some of my fellows around. My problems must solely be mine and I should not let those be the reasons to cast a frown in my face. It's not plasticity for me. I just want to spread a healthy virus--it is to smile! :)
Just got to keep going...
"There
is more to life than sitting in our comfort zone. We were made for
something more than merely avoiding failure. There is something inside
us that wants to walk on the water -- to leave the comfort of routine
existence and abandon ourselves to the high adventure of following God's
lead for a greater and worthy pursuit."-- JayRadaRafol
That's why, I truly believe that it's still worth not giving up amidst the challenges I have encountered. This is for me to grow, to be stronger for what is ahead, and to be a wise responder (a wiser one); I must know. I just need a little support from those who still believe in me--even at my worst. And, most especially from the One who keeps me going. :-)

Quotable Quotes
I just wanted to share how I'm feeling now and how I'm dealing with the unfavorable things around me.
What made me decide to post these 'not-so-very-new' and 'kind-of-common' yet 'simple' quotes is the inspiration I got from those people around me who may have 'accidentally' inspired me in their own little ways, those people who believed in my sincerity and for the read-worthy prayer booklet, 'Our Daily Bread', I have read last night.
The first quote goes this way...
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." -by Anonymous
I received this quote just yesterday, via sms by a good old friend of mine named Dit-Dit. This bubbly, cute and small-but-terrible gal is actually fond of sending messages to her circle of friends. She's use to send us quotes she have on her drafts. And this one stroke me the most upon reading. It's because, for me, the saying is also parallel to what I have realized recently:
"Judge-mental people wouldn't care to listen to your sincerest reason on why you did such thing...they just directly blame you into the mess they thought you have started and find for your faults in the case."
 |
| Killer stare! |
I could imagine how those people would stare at me when they're at my back. haha
Nice try from myself! ^^,
Anyways, here are the others...
"Trials are like fire they can destroy or strengthen you depending on your character and outlook in life. Remember: The fire that melts the butter is the same fire that hardens the steel."
-by Anonymous
I got this from a concern friend. I think she sent me this one to enlighten me and to cheer me up. Thanks for this one Lois. :)
"If you want to be happy for a moment, take revenge. But if you want to be happy for a lifetime, then grant forgiveness."
And this one is from a former schoolmate whom also is a good friend. Her name is Eva Mae.
Lastly...
The quote, which I think, sums up everything.
"Trials come because we live in a broken world, but if we decide that we will learn the lessons taught, there are no 'ifs' about it--it is an important way to GROW."
-Bill Crowder, Our Daily Bread
I finally realized how good He is. That, truly, whatever happens on me, He'll never leave me. And also, He'll be there when I can't carry the heavy load anymore. I am so thankful that He did ways to enlighten myself when I almost gave up.
So, for those people I meant for this post. I just forgive and forget everything. Go on! Just continue to spoil me if that's what makes you happy. I really hope you are! haha
You deserve this...

| A big smile on my face! :) |
It's hurting me so much seeing those people, whom I look up to the most, acting like they don't deserve some respect. I wanted to try in getting things fix earlier but seems like they're not worth any effort. I see how their true colors are revealing. And, I also ache noticing how they stare at me as if I'm the one to be blamed and as if I did such thing for my own benefit.
It was something I can learn from and I know for somebody too, who share the same sentiment I was feeling. Therefore, I must move on. Life must go on.
I now knew how unfair the world in here is...how they try to succumbed in their own faults...and how immature they are not to accept criticisms from others.
I may be wrong somewhere...but, I knew, in my part I did what I thought was right. All that matters now is that I showed them how a tiny speck can awaken their blinded eyes. It was not my intention to please anybody because it's not about me, it's all about us.
Sometimes, I feel like giving up and exit from the inside, thinking it is the easiest way to solve the problem. But, I realized it is quitting what makes one a loser. So, I'll just let them bark on me. Anyways, I'm not going to mind them, they are just dogs barking.
......................................
After what has happened, I really do hope for forgiveness and acceptance. Forgiveness for people I may have hurt. Acceptance for the people who can't accept their own flaws.
Forget You!
It has been a long, stressful and depressing week last week.
So, now is my time to start a new beginning...
to forget everything and take a new path this second semester.
"Move on", I say...and "Forget You", I must sing.
Lalalala ♫♫♫♪♫♪...
I see you drivin' round town with the guy I love
And I'm like, forget you
I guess the change in my pocket Wasn't enough
I'm like, forget you
Yeah I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari,
But that don't mean I can't get you there
I guess she is an Xbox and I'm more an Atari,
Mmm, but the way you play your game ain't fair
I pity the fool that falls in love with you
(Ooo, she's a gold digger)
Well
(Just thought you should know)
Ooooooh
I've got some news for you
Yeah, go run and tell your little girlfriend
I see you drivin round town with the guy I love
And I'm like, forget you
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, forget you and forget him too
Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Now ain't that some sh.. (Ain't that some sh..)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a
Forget you
Now baby, baby, baby, why d'you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?
(So bad, so bad, so bad)
I tried to tell my mamma but she told me
"This is one for your dad"
(Your dad, your dad, your dad)
(Uh!) Why? (Uh!) Why? (Uh!)
Why baby? (Uh!) I love you
I still love you
Oooh!
I see you drivin round town with the guy I love
And I'm like, forget you (Forget you)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough
I'm like, forget you and forget him too
Said, if I was richer, I'd still be with ya
Huh, now ain't that some sh.. (Ain't that some sh..)
Although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a
Forget you!

Reminder for a Blogginner (Blog-Beginner)
I entered the blogging world in order to improve my writing skills, especially in creative ways. Before, I always tell myself to practice writing, read and read articles and the likes, and become writing as one of my hobbies. Just this afternoon, I visited few blog sites and I found there write-ups very interesting and read-worthy. I really envy them. Although, I have a valid excuse, that I am still a neophyte at blogger so I still have long long way to go to be like them. It's been almost six months already since I started blogging yet I notice myself 'slowly' improving. Tsk
So, I visited Mr. Google and searched on how to improve my writing skills. I might as well keep it by myself because it's maybe senseless sharing something to people who don't need 'reminders'. But, please allow me to do so, so that I'll always be reminded and reminded in case I somehow forget.
I found different articles but I find this one a more interesting exercise. I chose this because I think this is apt for me as an aspiring creative writer. :)
Here it is:
1.) Take a mediocre, horrible or fabulous piece of your writing. It doesn't need to be long, just writing. Go through it and look for non-descriptive words, such as 'nice', 'beautiful' and 'wonderful'. List these words, and detail what they are actually supposed to be describing.
A nice outfit - Nice means as many things as there are people! Does nice mean green or blue? Cotton or polyester? A skirt or pants? Matching or eclectic?
A beautiful day - Some folks like rain, some love the sun. Are there clouds? Is it morning or evening? Is it a day to lounge at home or go out and socialize? What constitutes a beautiful day? Beauty? What's that?
You can see by these examples that non-descriptive words rob your writing of what makes it unique - you!
2.) This is one of my favorites. I came across it as I was studying metaphors. On the left side of the page, list tangible nouns. Ocean, flood, steam shovel, cinder block, spoon. On the right side of the page, list intangible nouns. Respect, desire, hunger, flight. Now combine them in a phrase like this:
'a of '. Examples would be 'an ocean of respect', a spoonful of desire'. Let yourself get carried away with this, and you will come up with some very powerful images.
3.) Open up a dictionary. Choose a word and write about it for 10 minutes, non-stop. Choose another word and do the same. Choose a third and write 10 more minutes. Although you have three different words, there may be a common thread running through them. Look for it. The day I did this, the rainy weather permeated my three pieces of random writing. If a thread is not there, try and connect these three separate pieces of writing.
4.) Make a list about something. Choose something ordinary and make a list of things about it or related to it. Do it off the top of your head, taking just 10 minutes or so. Now read it. You will feel a rhythm to it after a few lines, and it will sound poetic. If you make a list about a kiss or love or flowers, you may have a sweet poem when you're done.
The class I did this in listed a yard sale. Sounds dull? It was actually very interesting to hear what everyone had to say about a yard sale, the contents, the seller, the other buyers, the type of day it was and so on. A yard sale is not dull subject matter!
5.) Find a picture in a magazine. Make sure it interests you. Look this picture over carefully for just a minute and write about it for at least 10 minutes. Describe the detail, the light, the subject matter. Are there people? What are they thinking? How did they get there? Who are they? You could do the traditional 'Who What When Where Why' routine. You'll be surprised at how much you can see in a picture when you have to!

Another thing. I remember our writing workshops before facilitated by our technical adviser in the yearbook publication. Our adviser also introduced different good exercises. Wiw! Though those have been nerve-cracking sessions but at least those sessions pushed me to improve and keep my creativity flowing. >.<Now, it's time for me to double time... Wish me luck! Write On! :D

Uhm...
It's 1:20 pm. I am not in the mood to study. I'd rather procrastinate make something else.
Well, I'm pretty sure this isn't a waist of time because I'm making my remaining forty minutes 'productive'. Maybe? (insert smiley face with a winking eye) I'm probably one of the luckiest persons in the whole world today. Hoho Yeah. Like, first, I wasn't able to study my lessons in Philosophy and Management but I found the tests sort of not that challenging. I mean it. Hihi And also, it's because of my 'kind' seatmates. (If you know what I mean!) Hmmm...
My cellphone's time strikes at 1:26 pm. I'm still busy typing the keyboard and facing the monitor, writing what's on my head.Weird. I find myself weird. I'm not like this before; carefree, happy-go-lucky. Somebody just awakened my sleeping creative juices. (chos!) Uhm. I have an exam at 2:00 pm. I haven't even studied anything. I just finished doing my "Earth's Wheel of Information" for my Physics class. Now, I'm already contented. Haha I really don't care. I sound insane. I know right?
Well, oh-well. That's what I'm feeling right now.
1:34 pm--the time. I guess it's time to say chao now. Actually, I still have to do some "ninja
" moves for my Physics exam. Our instructor required us to do so, in Cebuano we call it "kodigo." This is crazy! Haha Well, I'm a good student. I just follow what he told us. Hihi
It's twenty minutes before two already. Yet, I don't feel butterflies flying in my stomach. I still very confident. To kill the remaining time is what I want to do.
Express what I feel right now. Write what I want to say...because it makes me feel better. To unleash the depressions and stresses within me. I just want to be inspired and feel like I'm totally free--from worries outside. So that when I go out form this cool place I'll be wearing a warm smile and say hello to the world. No fear--if I'll fail or get low score.
Now it's quarter to two. I have to stop this heaven I'm feeling inside of me. Whether I like it or not. I have to face the reality that I have to take the exam not really ready. This is it!
Chao!
Honestly, I'll be getting ready. Don't worry. :)
