Ordinaryo

Minsan, meron tayong mga nakikita o na-eencounter na ordinaryo sa ating paningin. Sa ating pang-araw araw na pamumuhay, nakikita natin sila o minsan ay nakakahalubilo pero taken for granted sila kasi di natin nakakikitaan ng importansya. Malay mo, ganon rin pala tayo sa kanila. :)



Pero kung magkakaroon lang sana tayo ng pagkakataon na makilala silang maige (o talagang sasadyain natin), doon natin mapapatunayan na espesyal pala sila. Sabi nga, bawat isa daw sa atin ay merong espesyal na katangian at isang challenge para sa atin na hanapin ito. At kung mahanap natin ito, magiging iba na ang ating pagtingin at pananaw.



Kaya nga't nakakatuwang isipin na merong mga nilalang na marunong mag-appreciate kahit na sabihin mo pang magkaiba sila ng mundo. Sa kanilang mumunting paraan, doon nila naipapakita at naipapadama na meron din silang mga katangian na namumukod tangi. At talagang sobrang mapalad ang mga nilalang na ito na makita at ma-appreciate ito.



Siguro nga tama ang kasabihang wag tayong mag expect ng sobra kasi baka madismaya lang tayo ng todo. Kung ano man ang meron sa atin, iyon ang ipakita natin. At meron naman tayong oportunidad at kapasidad na ito ay pagyamanin. At kung ano man ang meron sa ating mga kakilala, siguro tama na rin na matuto tayong mag-appreciate kahit na meron din silang mga kakulangan katulad natin.



At kung dumating ang panahon na matuto tayong magpahalaga ng ating kapwa at ng mga nasa paligid natin, iyon din siguro ang panahon na magiging extra-ordinary na ang tingin natin sa mundo. Sana nga, para ang lahat ng nakapaligid sa atin ay mabigyan natin ng tama at kaukulang atensyon.



At kahit na dumating man ang panahon na magkakahiwalay man ang ating mga landas, wala tayong mararamdamang pagsisisi. Tama lang na maging malungkot tayo pero wala tayong panghihinayangan kasi naibigay natin ang tamang importansya noong tayo ay merong pagkakataon.

Storm-3

Feeling sorry about oneself could be a devastating state. It seems like the world is in a standstill. You can no longer function like your old self. Your self esteem is down and you don't have the drive to do the things you ought to do.



And one unbearable state you can inflict unto yourself is isolation. And that's where the real problem starts. The moment you isolate yourself. And in order to escape that isolated state, people tend to end it all. They thought that by ending their existence, their problems would likewise cease to exist.




Yes, give yourself some time to mourn over your misery. If you feel like crying, cry as if there's no tomorrow. Find ways to unload your burden except by ending your existence. And when you will be able to pour it all out, you'll feel relaxed and composed. And that's the time when you'll start thinking.

Storm-2

Living in misery is just but an option. We can choose to live in misery and be sorry throughout our existence. Or we can choose to fight our struggles and face life with a firm disposition to continue on living.



Some might argue that it is better said than done. True. No amount of kind and encouraging words can ever appease one's despair. Your family and friends can only be there for you, by your side. Their very presence will give you a sense of comfort that you are not alone. But they cannot fight for you.



You are fighting your own monster. Yes, you have every reason to feel bad and frustrated about the misfortune that beset you. But until when you are going to punish yourself? Until when you are going to torture yourself and feel sorry about it?

Two Kinds of People-1

I attended a seminar a couple of days ago and our speaker shared her viewpoint regarding the kind of people that co-exist with us. She said that there are only two types of people: the one that appreciates you and the one that is concerned about you.


The former shows how you are being loved and treated with utmost kindness and respect. That irregardless of the circumstances, they are simply there beside you. They show their support in every endeavor that you take. They will comfort and cheer you up when you are down. And they are equally delighted and happy in your moments of triumph.


The latter is more particular with the not so good compliments about you. That in every move and effort you make, they are looking forward seeing you fall over with a bang. And whatever you do, you are always short of their expectations. That's their way of showing how concerned they are about you.

Getaway-3

Having a better perspective helps us to see clearer especially ourselves. Given the every day pressures that we experience, a worthy getaway is always a welcome opportunity for tuning oneself. When our mind is not clouded, only then we can better define our senses and our actions.


Since we are part of a particular group of people, we cannot avoid some indifferences amongst us. And when the pressure is way above our heads, that's the time when things turn ugly. And we don't want to involve ourselves into issues and actions that are worthless. As much as possible we need to preserve the norms in order for us to be at peace with one another and with ourselves.



And when you are given that opportunity to have the much needed break, grab it. Plunge into action. Seize the moment and enjoy. Leave your worries behind. Envigorate your spirit and your wellness. See the other perspective of life and be thankful. After all, it is your life that you are living and you have every reason for a worthy and happy existence.

Stand Out

What makes you stand out above the rest? Is it your beauty? Is it your intelligence? Is it your wit? Is it your charm? Is it your personality? What ever the reasons are, be the best that you can be.

And if you happened not to figure it out yet, it is not that late. Don't be one of the commoners. You can be a cut above the rest. A good one, perhaps.

Bloom

Flowers bloom in their own precious time. And when they bloom, they exude beauty that will surely captivate our hearts.

So, when it is your turn to bloom, show the world of the very best in you. At times, it could be one of your rarest opportunity to stand out above the rest.

Blessings

Learn to count your blessings instead of your miseries. There are hundreds or even millions of reasons to celebrate life as long as we know how to be thankful and appreciative of what we have received. The moment we learn how to value and treasure these blessings, our happiness and contentment begin.

Beauty

I don't have the right meaning for the term "beauty." I simply appreciate it when I encounter one.


Ano nga ba ang isang "maganda?" Sadyang mahirap ilarawan lalo na't meron tayong kanya-kanyang pamantayan. Malamang ang isang common factor ng salitang ito ay may hinahangaan tayo sa isang tao.

The Color Yellow

Are you a jealous type? Then definitely this color is for you. But don't dwell on the negative aspect of this color because this color also signifies charm, joy, and confidence. (Link to color associations http://wuzzle.org/cave/colors.html)

Yellow ba ang kulay mo? Medyo alalay lang sa salitang yellow kasi baka me regional defect ang kausap mo at mabigyan ka ng yelo. Ang lamig non. Haha

Abundance

We should be thankful for the abundance in life that we experience. Some people could hardly make both ends meet. But at times, we hardly notice this kind of blessing. And at times, though how abundant we are, we care less and still ask for more.

Minsan, pag dumadating ang pagpapala sa ating buhay, masasabi mong bumabaha talaga. Sa ganitong mga sitwasyon, dapat nating pahalagahan at bigyang pasasalamat. At kung maaaring maka-share tayo sa mga mas nangangailangan, mas mabuti
