It is good to always learn. How can we know how to properly carry things out if we have no knowledge? It is either we depend on what others tell us or do the same mistakes we did.

Just a few people know how to give sound advice. It is much better to  have based knowledge to at least sense if what we receive is not misleading. 

I do not say I know everything perfectly. It is an impossible claim! I just say it is good to learn for our benefits. 

There are so many aids which can help us to expand our horizons. We can learn new things by paying attention to our actions and occurences in our surrounding. Having said that, we need to learn to ask. It really depends on what particular area we think we need to improve our knowledge on. Finding what suits us is a good idea. Above all, we have to give justice to what we learn by taking an action. Otherwise, it is futile!

It is necessary to acquire accurate knowledge, and not just any knowledge to our detriment or for others'. We take the first step of moving forward to better or even the best way of life by doing so.

When the opportunities come, we have to think many times before letting it go. Once it is gone, it may go forever. It bring us to a conclusion that what is important is the present action and decision of a person. 

I am thankful because I know I have made the most out of what I have had. Though not perfect, I am grateful because I have been guided very well. Though I hope that never will I do something I will regret afterwards.

Someone might get irritated of me. I might offended her. I feel a bit guilty, but I think, it is not my problem anymore. If that was the way she responsed, I respect her as I want to be respected if I show my aloofness to them. 

It simply shows that there are people, including me who gradually learn to be like them, who show who they are. We do not want to live at others' expectations. I discovered that it is somehow the right way of living. People around us come and go. We are left alone. I mean, myself is the last person I can run to if ever people I looked up to or expected to much from have dissapeared. Moreover, we do not know if these people we trust really care for our welfare or just use us for their success. We have to admit that we can not please all people. We should not be forced to do it. It goes as simple as that!

Of course, every decision has relative consequences. With this, it probably results to less acquiantances. Some people may view us as haughty or snobbish. And so on and so fort depending on the persons involved. But for me, I find security on it. I can be myself, accept it or not. I can be comfortable on my skin because what others think of me simply does not matter to me. Less trust less pain if ever the person I trusted betrayed it. People can not view me as weak and easy to manipulate. I can convey them to respect me. Consequently, relationships could be much better because I will not ask what I can not give. This is the new me. No matter what you say, I will be more discreet not to trust anyone without testing his or her worthy of trust. I do not want to happen it again when everything seems confusing and I can not stand by myself because I am seemed control by other people whose sincerity are later on has become dubious. Your story has just ended and mine is about to start. I do not want to continue having heavy heart against them. I want my plan to be just normal. I can not blame myself because it is still fresh. I will emerge new and better.  

It's been silent here at home. So many thoughts enter my mind. It's so funny to think that sometimes I'm out of control over my thoughts leading me to think negatives or do negatives. Sometimes, I prefer to be alone and have some space. I feel the freedom when no one opposite of me is there. Unfortunately, nobody is an island, as they say. People are just around, take them or leave them - and be criticized. Hahaha! 

How do we know when someone is real or fake? We indeed need to be sensitive to know it. Before, I didn't have the ability to distnguish the two. It isn't because I'm fond of everyone I meet. When I like someone, it's easy for me to share even my thoughts, not knowing that they have bad intentions why they wanna be close to me. I've learned that not all people can be shared by ourselves. Simply put, we shouldn't trust everyone.  

What is your past time?

Almost everyday I surf the internet when the vacation  started. I go to Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) to update myself of Jolina Magdangal and read interesting news articles about celebrities. Jolina is one of the famous stars in the Philippine showbizness. I even go to her fan site where my co-fans are meeting and talking about her. When I want to read spiritual articles, I go to watchtower.org. Like I'm doing right now, I'm fond of blogging. This is where I release all my thoughts and at the same time train myself to express myself in English. It does help me. I almost forgot to share that I also chat with friends - intimate and acquiantances.

Once I was a child. As I look back to its memories, I see myself different in many ways. I felt the freedom one would love to have. There were no inhibitions for I don't so much care to what the world would say about me. As I grew up, things weren't not the same. It seemed I entered into the "real world", where fantasy is not existing. I had to deal with life the usual hard way. I discovered things I wasn't used to. At first, it was hard for me to accept it and a lot of dissapointments I felt and showed. Gradually, I learn the better way to deal with and accept it. So far, I fight with life's battle not anymore with a heavy heart. Thanks to all who has helped me.

When I see kids doing what I did as a kid, I can't avoid having smile. Not that I envy them, instead I'm happy for them because they feel the happiness of being a kid. I'm sure when they're grown up, they will remember this and similarly, smile about it.  

It's challenging to live up to what we say. Many can articulate what's good, but that isn't enough. I've learned based on my experiences to not merely rely on what others tell me, no matter how convincing it is. Some, if not most, has the knack for it. I've learned to observe if these people harmonize their words with actions. Though we're all not perfect, reasonable judgment can suffice.

In the same way that I have to watch out for my actions if I want to be effective adviser to others. Without them telling me, I'm obliged to show them that I do what I teach.  

Yesterday, I feel so down. Suddenly I got to read insirational words on the internet. My disposition changed and my spirit was uplifted. From then on, I feel good and my works lighten up.

Just a while ago, my mother seemed to feel the way I did, and because I knew how kind words could help people like her, I stopped reading and talked to her about her worries. It's about financial. I tried to talk to her with compassion and at the same time taught her to deal with her own problems with positivity. Hopefully, I was able to help her too.

Life is not only about receiving. There's a truth in the saying that there's more happiness in giving than in receiving, especially if we do it to our loved ones. 

I've learned not to entertain negative vibes, no matter how cliche it is. There's no better way to deal with my problems than to be positive. Every person at some point in his life self-pity, simply because we're all not perfect. I've learned to embrace my imperfection and be the best I can be.
