20 thoughts I can’t get off my mind
May 12, 2006Countdown to 21 part 1:
1. My prof said that a person’s words are the least credible source of information. Maybe he’s talking of something like: “Sabi ni ganito….”. Totoo naman. It’s either you really have to know the explanation or reason behind your claim or you have enough evidence to back up your own words. Typical day application: tsismis.
2. The same prof said you should not trust or admire a person too much. Hindi mo maiiwasan pero maaring malapit na talaga sa perpekto ang tingin mo sa isang tao. Kapag biglang ‘nagkamali’ ang taong iyon, o madiskubre mong iba pala siya sa nabuo mong karekter na inakala mong siya, you’d be broken into pieces.
3. Don’t trust a person who trusts everyone. Nabasa ko lang sa internet pero totoo.
4. There is always something good in everyone. Kaya masarap minsan magform ng first impression. Kapag medyo off yung tao para sa iyo initially, wag mo pangunahan ng iwas. Maybe sa mga first instances na magkakasama kayo, medyo awkward pero sooner or later, you’ll like the person din. Yung iba siguro iisipin kaplastikan pero hindi… you acknowledge naman na medyo may hindi ka nagugustuhan sa tao (na miski sa sarili mo meron ka rin naman ayaw diba?) pero hindi mo naman hahayaan na yun lang ang maisip mo tungkol sa kanya diba? Try to find her “true color”. Malay mo yung ayaw mo pala tungkol sa kanya initially,binigyan mo lang agad ng negative interpretation dahil nga sa first impression mo..
5. Anger is just a manifestation of another emotion. Pwedeng disappointment o frustration sa isang bagay o tao. Pero mas malamang ang lack of understanding o kakulangan sa pang-unawa.
6. 1/2 commitment => 1/2 effort => 1/2 work done => 1/2 effective and efficient => 1/2 satisfaction => 1/2 happiness => 1 life wasted
7. Sa pagkakaalala ko inabutan ko pa ang P17 pesos na gasolina na ngayon ay P30+ na at ang dollar ay P25 na ngayon ay P50+ na. Ang dyip na P2.50 ang minimun noon ay P7.50 n ngayon, ang candy na 3 piso ay 3 dalawangpiso na ngayon. Wala lang.
8. Hindi ko pa rin naiintindihan ang konsepto ng ‘crush’. Na-aatract din naman ako sa tao pero hindi yung tipong “Uy, crush ko siya”. Ewan.
9. You’re never too old to learn an instrument. I learned to play the violin at 19 and I know someone who did at age 27.
10. I believe in fate - in destiny. But we do hold the key to our own destiny. Kaya dapat talaga pray and work (Ora et Labora ni St. Benedict). (more…)
I love life - its mystery and its complexity. There is much to discover and to understand. I love people with passion. It's always interesting to meet a person overflowing with emotion. I love to play the piano and listen to intersting music. I like working with my hands that proabably explains my affinity with playing, doing crafts, typing (blogging) and even eating when doing nothing but I can't seem to make my whole body coordinated that you can't make me dance or do sports. I also like walking beside the bay, watching people, singing or humming, smiling or greeting strangers, thinking and not thinking of anything at all. || I prefer intimacy. I don't like going into bars or partying where you go on group dates. I like it when I can give 100% attention to whom I'm with because when I'm with a lot of people, I feel I have to accomodate them and I'm not able to share quality time with any of them. Drinking coffee and dining out is always on the top of the list.|| I feel I'm sitll living in my comfort zone. I'm yet to understand what's on the the other side of the wall. I'm yet to understand what others say 'the cruelty of reality' (if there is such). I like to do so may things but remain generally a passive person. I'm still on the path of discovering and adapting to the ideals (irony) of reality .
