Back to Strangers

-
They say life is an unending cycle. Something starts, another ends. And it moves on. This is true with meeting people. In one lifetime, we make connections with tons of individuals. For a moment, it seems like we are meant to find them and share a special bond. After a while, we realize that we may cross path with few special people but they are not meant to stay in our lives.


Have you had a close friend when you were in grade school and promised that you will be friends forever? Where is that friend now? If you still share that closeness, you are blessed. But for most, close friends have grown apart. Circumstances, distance and choices have weakened the connection.

Even families have broken apart; wives and husbands who gave their promises to cherish one another are no more. There are siblings filing cases left and right because of properties and rights. Relatives have become indifferent because of favors declined and opposing opinions.

The person you love and deeply care about can leave and act as if he never met you. The person you used to talk to every night, share stories and dreams with seems to have vanished and lost memories of you. Yes, that happens. But what can you do? Chase him, beg him to come back? It’s up to you. 

The thing is, we met people and will continue to meet new ones. Not everyone is meant to be in our lives forever. But for the people you want to stay, take care of them, value them. It’s not every day that you find people who cares enough to get to know you and be willing to be part of your world. You don’t want to go back to being strangers with amazing individuals, do you?

A REFLECTION PAPER ON METAPHYSICS

-
A single idea cannot encapsulate the way the world is…. What is the true reality? Can we find answer to the real sense of the world by finding the ultimate individual? Or is it in the external world apart from us that could be brought by our sensations and addressed by a supreme mind? Is it in the realization that we are in a continuous movement of time? Or is it in the thesis that what is true to us could actually be false? IIrwagen’s book presented some very intriguing points for someone who does not think like he does. I don’t think like he does. In fact, as I was reading his work, I was asking myself if there is actually a point of reading his book. His book, Metaphysics, talked about what ultimate reality is and if our world is actually the real world. So what then if the world we live in is not as real as most of the population deems it to be? Would it change the fact that our basic needs are food, water and shelter? Are we going to forego our ambition...

Why You Need to Take it Easy on Yourself?

How many times have you blamed yourself for things gone wrong? Plans going south? And goals remaining unmet? Often, you see yourself at a standstill, feeling like you are not getting anywhere in life. Yes, it is often disappointing to see how much you have given and yet you are still far off from your dreams. In fact, you will often feel that what you want are moving away from you, and perhaps, they are not meant for you. But these thoughts are just that, thoughts, they are not your reality, so get easy on yourself. What you feel is valid, but it is temporary: All of us feel that way sometimes, and it is important to recognize those feelings. However, we cannot dwell on them for long because if we do, we will fail to recognize all the good things that happened to us. We would miss the chance of enjoying our little victories. Although it does not feel good to see our plans shatter, remember that those are just hiccups. You can only stare at the broken glass for so long, b...

Be Optimistic

-
Often, it is difficult to be optimistic because of all the drama around you. Lalo na pag may mga taong gusto kang makitang malungkot. However, it is not impossible especially if you have something to look forward to. Here are some tips: 1. Always keep your goal in mind. Mas maganda kung may short term goal ka para mas nakakaexcite isipin. Halimbawa, nag-iipnon ka para sa bagong laptop. Dahil may pinag-iipunann ka, kakayanin mo kahit anong hirap ng trabaho . 2. This too shall pass. Natutunan ko to sa teacher ko nung college. Oo nga naman, kahit anong badtrip mo ngayon, lilipas din yan. Kung naiinis ka, tingnan mo na lang ang orasan. Tumatakbo ang oras di ba, ibig sabihin, kelangan mo itong sabayan. Do not dwell on negativity. Ok lang na maging negative for a while but you have to snap out of it right away or it will consume you . 3. Positivity attracts good vibes. Sabi nga nila, the mind is pwoerful. Kung ano iniisip mo, yun ang lumalapit sayo, so isip lang ng mga magagandang ba...
