The Right Time

 The Right Time

















I would have wanted to meet you sooner

And be there to ease your fear

Hold your hands when things were not easy

Make you smile while you were lonely


But we were at different moments in time

You were pursuing your dreams, I was figuring out mine

Mine were not the hands you would have wanted to hold

They were weak, unsure, afraid, and cold


I wouldn’t be someone who can give you support

I was young, immature, stubborn, and lost

I wouldn’t be able to make your lonely heart smile

I was down, bitter, insecure, and fragile.


It would have been nice to walk the journey with you

Sorry I couldn’t, I was facing my battles too

I wanted to have saved you from drowning

But I couldn’t because I was fighting the waves that kept on coming


What would have become of us if we had each other?

Would we have survived when both of us needed saving?

I’m glad you had people to hold when you needed them

Because I wouldn’t know how I’d survive without the people in my team


You have become the person you once dream of becoming

I’m not so bad, you should see me teaching

I found you at a time when I was ready to look

A time when I looked and see beyond the cover of the book


I found you at a time when your light is hard to ignore

I can only imagine you noticing me at all

It took years for me to see you…

What’re a few more years for you to see me too?

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...
