OkaY my college life is now slowly concluding and yet I still feel so empty, so deprived of experience. It seems that I haven't met enough people to testify that I understand human nature...

but the other day, when I arrived in SM for our 2nd Exhibit, I found out someone was using my pc playing Dota and I was supposed to catch up on some SoftEng work before spectators come pouring in...There goes my pet peeves again! So what I did? I went down and checked out possible fabrics for my dress for our ball...

Afterwards, I transfered to the shoe section to find the perfect shoe...

Somewhere along the way, I tried to decipher why I am in a bad mood...Was it because, my crush's morning greeting was once again started with a mockery? Or was it the fact that up to now, I cannot quite convey honestly and verbally how I felt even if I was on the right place?

So it hit me, hit me hard!

All my life, the only thing I wanted in dealing with other people and to better love the people I value is to understand the totality of their person. But how could I even begin to understand them, when I myself don't understand me, most of the time!

But then again, I'm still discovering me, and it takes awhile, perhaps a lifetime to justify that.

All I want right now is an assurance that I will graduate and that I do have a job!

everything else will fall into place right after that...

even...nevermind...

I'm reading his book right now! maybe I could share to you some lines after I finished it... for now, as what IPaY says,

CHILLAX!!!

THE TINY FROG

A friend emailed this to me and I just wanted to share it with you! Thanks to Ms. Louise Mae Arbiol!

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....

The race began....

Honestly:

No one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.

You heard statements such as:

"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"

"They will NEVER make it to the top."

or:

"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"




The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one....

Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher....

The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....

But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....

This one wouldn't give up!

At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?

A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?

It turned out....

That the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is:

Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic.... because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart!

Always think of the power words have.

Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!

Therefore:

ALWAYS be....

POSITIVE!

And above all:

Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!

Always think:

God and I can do this!


MY HOROSCOPE FOR TODAY!
You're willing to move on and eager to make up for lost time, but is the other person in this equation feeling as magnanimous? If not, don't be too quick to pick up their slack. It takes two to tango, you know.

Thanks to you, I got through the toughest day of my entire life...It was a huge miracle that I had that much confidence to face the panel members. You inspired me and helped me believe in my own capabilities. Because you were so sure that I would make it, I also believed that I could...So who ever you are, thank You! I am grateful to have you...
