Date with my lola :)

Ang saya ngayong araw. Iyong feeling na nabibili mo lahat ng gusto mo at kailangan mo. 

Nagpasama lang naman sa akin ang lola ko sa bangko tapos niyaya niya ako sa SM sucat. Habang papasok kame sabi niya "Apo, merienda muna tayo (10:05 am kasi nun) . Gusto ko sa starbucks" . E di nagulat ako. Although ganun talaga lola ko, sosyal. Pero sa isip isip ko "Aba, pastarbucks starbucks na lang ang merienda nito" Hahahahaha. E di punta naman kame sa building B. Well, I knew my Lola just wanted to have chitchat with me. E di inorder ko naman ay ang forever at walang sawa na Java Chip Venti tas siya naman ay Hot Chocolate lang plus waffle :) Masaya naman. First time ko lang kasi makasama lola ko sa ganoong lugar, knowing na puro teenagers lang ang naroon. Pagkatapos naglakad lakad kame, punta doon, punta dito. Tumaya nga rin kame sa lotto e (sana manalo *crossed finger*)  Inuubos lamang namin ang oras namen habang inaantay ang mom ko. Mga 11:55 am, pumunta na kame sa Max's to have lunch. Well, personally I dont like Max's mas gusto ko pa  Shakey's kaso no choice, I dont pay the bills. But still, I enjoyed it. After that, pumunta naman kame sa grocery. Sarap lang ng dampot ng dampot. Hahahaha.

Be Strong

In life, whatever we do, we need courage. Ralph Waldo Emerson comments, “Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you, you are wrong. There are always difficult times arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action, and follow it to an end, it requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs. Each has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to them.”

“FIGHTING-SPIRIT,” to quote the words of George Allen is what we all need. Gail Brook summons: “I do not ask to walk smooth paths nor bear an easy load. I pray for strength and fortitude to climb the rock strewn road. Give me such courage I can scale the hardest peaks alone, and transform every stumbling block into a stepping stone.”

There are always two sides of coin, so they say. If there are people who are courageous enough, there are also those who are coward. What’s the difference? “Courage and cowardice are antithetical,” points out Martin Luther King, “Courage is an inner resolution to go forward in spite of obstacles and frightening situations; cowardice is a submissive surrender to circumstance. Courage faces fear and thereby masters it; cowardice represses fear and thereby mastered it. Courageous people never lose the zest for living even though their life situation is zestless; cowardly people overwhelmed by the uncertainties of life, lose the will to live. We must constantly build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear.”

NEW APPROACH TO LIFE

MANAGING STRESS: 5 STEPS FOR A NEW APPROACH TO LIFE

Here is how to practice managing stress in five steps for a happier, healthier and better you.

1.      EXPECT IT. Managing stress properly means being prepared. Take good care of yourself. You never know what the day will bring. Life is an adventure--- approach it as such. Remember the classic example of a guy showing out for girls, saying punch my stomach and see how hard it is? The first blow he doesn’t even flinch (and all are impressed). But then, when distracted, someone else hits him, and he doubles over in pain. What made the difference? The first time he was ready, the second, he was taken off guard.

2.      EMBRACE IT. You need a new attitude towards life, a determined stance to ride the waves of life and succeed through storms. I decided a long ago I would not live a life of regret. Now, as I get ready for the day, I say a prayer for strength to face with confidence what comes my way, and the courage to get help and support when overwhelmed. I embrace the challenge and the unexpected. Like the ocean rip currents, I realize that the more I resist and try to avoid stress, the more exhausted and sucked in I will be.

3.      EVALUATE IT. What pressures occupy your thoughts, consume your energy or cause your grief? Be honest and real with yourself. Remember to consider tendencies such as jealousy, feelings of inferiority or frustration over failures as possible causes for some of your grief (all easily changed through setting goals and having successful positive attitude about yourself). The serenity prayer is a tool used by many people recovering from addictions, but has truths that are treasures for everyone when managing stress.

4.      ENGAGE IT. Now it’s time to take action. The fourth step to managing stress is to engage it. If you can change it, do it now. Procrastination is one of your worst enemies, stealing precious moments of your life. Think of something right now that you are avoiding, that is causing you stress and worry, and that would be a load of your mind---- because it really is!

5.      EMERGE FROM IT. This final step is extremely important. Process the pressure and pain to get through it and emerge successful and free. This requires effort, whether it is to brush off the stress of the day, or to push through the weight of a significant loss. Contrary to the old cliché, time does not heal all wounds. If you are dealing with tragedy or trauma, the event is gone, but it takes time and effort to grieve from the change. The grieving process requires at least two years of working through it to adjust.

Alam lahat ng tao na may pinagdadaanan akong problema. Problema na para sa iba ay isang mababaw lang pero para sa akin big deal iyon. Inaamin ko naman na nagpabaya ako. Di nag aral, puro tambay etc. Kaya ngayon nagsisisi ako. Siguro wala na naman akong magagawa e. Tapos na ang nakaraan. ang gagawin ko na lang ay pagbutihin ang pag aaral ko sa mga susunod pang semester.

Salamat sa lahat ng tumulong sa akin. Sa mga taong nagdasal para sa akin. Sobrang salamat lang. 




Lesson:

Sinabi ko sa mama ko at mga kaibigan ko na okay na rin siguro na naranasan ko ang ganito. Kasi kung hindi, buong buhay ko sa college ganito lang ako. Dahil naranasan ko ito, hinding hindi ko na hahayaan na mangyari ulit ito. Hanggat kaya ko mag aaral ako ng mabuti. Hindi man ako aakyat sa stage ngayon, okay lang, marami akong natutunan sa pagkakadapa ko. Kung sino ang mga TUNAY kong kaibigan, mga dapat gawin ko atbp.

 Thank you Lord for giving me another chance. 


P.S.
Pipili na rin ako ng maaayos na prof next sem. :)))))

Ngayong gabi, kumpleto kami. Dad ko, Mom, Kuya Jeanno, Kuya Menzo, Ate Lea, Franz at Ako. Tulad sa mga sinabi ko noong nakaraang post, bihira na lamang kami nagsama sama. Kaya si Ate nagorder ng 2 box ng pizza from shakey's, 1 box ng mojos at 5 fried chicken sa Jolibee ng malaman lahat kami andito.  

Pagkatapos kumain. Nagkuwentuhan kami. Sa mga pangyayari sa buhay namin. Biglang naungkat ang Debut ko. December pa lang last year, napag usapan na namin ito ni Ate. Sabi niya gusto niya akong mag-debut. Alam kung matagal pa ang Debut ko pero mahirap daw kasing magplano. So ayon na nga, nag usap kami kung anong plano, kung maghahanda ba daw ako at kung paano. May 3 options akoo:

a. Magdedebut sa Alabang na may 18 roses churva

b. Iimbitahin ang mga kaibigan at sa isang restaurant na lang

c. Mag totour na lamang.

d. Charity event

Maganda naman ang mga choices. Kung ako masusunod kahit ano, basta di mawawala sa plano ko ang pagpapakain sa mga bata dahil iyong ang gusto ko. Pero di rin naman ako magsisinungaling, gusto ko talaga mag-debut at mag gown. Makita ang mga kaibigan mo na sama sama. Maisayaw ako ng mga taong mahahalaga sa buhay ko. Syempre isa ito sa mahahalagang pangyayari sa buhay ko. Pero tingnan natin, 9 months pa naman bago ako mag 18. Marami pang mangyayari.
