C'est La Vie

People talk shit when you're not like them.
With the big 'L' in the forehead.
Sometimes, it's like them telling you:
"You'll never amount to something when you're... You."

Shit happens.

Agree or disagree? You decide.

Ps. Pardon my hiatus.
Now that I’m a senior high schooler a lot of things will changed.
I have to keep my grades up while doing every thing else that is involved with being a senior.
Totally not keen.

Let's Survive Monday!

So sorry for my lack of blogging, again. Well it's been a busy busy week and it seems things are only going to get busier. On Sunday afternoon, I had a little time to myself, so instead of doing the nothing, I decided to start up blogging. Things have been a bit crazy the past few days but in a good way. June is going to be just nuts. But, I guess that's a good thing because life would get rather dull if we ended up doing the same thing all year round.

Well, tomorrow is Monday for me. And I'm pretty much hates monday morning. I hate it how I start to dread Mondays right on from Sunday. I swear, on Mondays, school should start later so I don’t have to get up so early! I don’t hate my school. I actually enjoy it most of the time. But Monday morning…especially a Monday after a long weekend, I completely dread it. Sometimes Monday even makes Sunday sucks.

Do you dread Monday? I have simple trick to make them a little less stressful.
Try to wake up about 90 minutes before you need to leave. Hop in the shower. Enjoy the water and think about how great today is going to be. Don't skip breakfast. Get ready for school/work. Listen to your favorite songs in the car and by the time you arrive at theschool/ office, you should feel pretty happy and energized.
Hope that would be usefull.

Anyway, I found another great short movie on YouTube.
SIGNS. One of the 2009 Cannes Lions winners.
A simple short film about communication. Created by Publicis Mojo and @RadicalMedia. Directed by Patrick Hughes.

If you like the soundtrack, you can check out @ http://www.internetdj.com/signs-music

Watch and let this sweet movie adding a little sweetness to your day!
Happy Monday everyone <3

"The new week takes the vehicle out of park and gets us back on the road to success. If you'd rather sit in the parking lot, than think about what you're attracting with a heavy sigh and dread of Monday. Is it what you really want your new week to shape up to be? Whatever you think, you're right!"

Ps. Tell me what is your trick to survive Monday?

It's About Time

What is time?
Time is a well-founded illusion.

Time kills.
Time heals.
Time reveals.
But tell me,
How do you feel?

Time will always change.
Time doesn't stay the same.
There is always going to be a time.
But will you do something when that time comes?
What will you do when that time comes?

Let me ask again, with all seriousness, what is time?
"Time is the path to glory or the path to hell."

Why Me? Is It Just Me? Well, It's a Matter of Perspective

Have you ever wondered why bad things always seem to happen to you? Oftenly we said, "Why do bad things always happen to me? Why not her or him? Why me?"

Well, first of all, let me set it straight, bad things happen to everyone. None of us can escape having bad experiences. We need to know why some of us experience bad things more often than others? One thing we must keep in mind is that many times what appear to be 'bad things' are simply a matter of perspective.

Everything in this world can be seen as you wish to. Depends on the way we look at things. Good or Bad. Simple or Complicated. Easy or Difficult. Its not how things are, its about how you look up to them. And how you look up to them is all up to you.

We act as the magnet and attract whatever we wish to be surrounded with. When we think positive, we draw positivity and when we think negative thoughts, negativity is what will come to us.

You know sometimes the answer depended on perspective. How you see things can and, often does, determine how you respond. How you respond is primarily based on what you believe. What you believe is based on where you put your faith.

This way of looking at facts could change our entire life. We should never regret the moment we chose and we should always search for the brightest side of things in every single moment of our life. That’s what a wider perspective gives you. Don’t think you know what’s best if you haven’t seen it all. It just might be something that you have missed.

Have anything good happen to you lately? Changing your perspective could change your entire life. Go on! Take a chance. Someone took a chance on you, didn't they?

Ps. Tumblr is so much fun! Check mine here :)

Exist

Dum vivimus, vivamus, Horace
(Since we are living, let us live well)

Have you ever considered why God made you? Are you fulfilling the purpose of your existence?

Most people, even though they don't know it, are asleep. They're born asleep, they live asleep, finally, they die in their sleep without ever waking up. They never understand the loveliness and the beauty of this thing that we call human existence. Human existence was to find its meaning in man living in a functioning union with God.

We are essentially alone in our existance. We were thrown into existence alone. We have our own individualistic, searches and journeys that belong to ourself, that are unique to each one of us. Human existence for us is very tough, complex, complicated and extremely hard. We must fight and struggle. We have no choice. We have to be fully committed to our existence, to being in the world.

I live. I am. I want to be. I want to be happy. I want to be the most meaningful, fulfilled life.
Being in the word to which I was thrown.

Serenity

"Breathing in, I see myself as still waters. Breathing out, I reflect things as they are." Unknown

Have you ever caught something that happened to you didn’t go your way, where things didn't go as planned, upset you for some reason, or being bipolar?

Whenever your mind is busy there is one reason for it. You’re not living in the moment and accepting reality as it is. When I'm upset about something. I'll try to change it by either thinking about it over and over again hoping to make it better, or I’ll try to push it out of my minds by thinking or doing something else. I don’t want to feel it, it sucks.

Everyone seeks peace and harmony, because these are what we lack in our lives. From time to time we all experience suffering(don't you feel it?). We all experience pain and sorrow. Usually ,I try to quiet the mind and stop reacting. Spend time doing something I love. Such as a hobby, reading, listening your favorite music, etc. Or, spend quiet time alone, to relax my body and mind, even only for a few minutes and I know, I can't afford more :P

Sadness may frequent our life often or visit your weeks sometimes, either way a quick exit from these over stressful times is needed. Just think of living up to the fullest extent this very minute. Don’t hold a grudge, have no regrets, because you only have one life to live.

"No place can provide peace if someone is not at peace within itself. Once internal peace has been achieved, no external disturbances can bother it."

Validation

Hey, it's May. Sorry, for my lack of blogging. Anyway, today is Saturday. Just another lazy Saturday morning. So, I'm browsing through YouTube. And found something interesting.

YouTube video Validation by Hugh Newman. It tells the story of a man who works by validating parking tickets. He gives new meaning to the word validation, actually, he gives true meaning to that word.

Sometimes, we're discover something that people do see, but maybe, we're probably too shy to speak up. Afraid that our act might be rejected. Or that they might get laughed at. What happens when you try to make people smile, but you can’t? You keep on trying?

Don't you realize, make people smile is priceless. Just to know that you’ve brighten someones day, it's amazing.

Feeling down? Need a validation, maybe? Go watch the video. It’s worth it. Then go out and make someone smile. Doing this can make a big difference in other peoples lives. ;D

Recognize the power within your choice is out-of-the-way.

However, the choices that you made yesterday, last week, last month or last year, will brings out a new possibility for today.

So.

Limitations

"You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations in what you can do. Except the limitations of your own mind." Darwin P. Kingsley

I'm positively agree and I think that's very rightly said. Darwin reminding us of our unlimited possibilities.

How far we can push our limit?

Nothing can limit one and if anything which can limit is our mind. Our strength is totally controlled by our mind. When we decide that we have to accomplish something, no matter what obstacles arise, we still manage to push through, overcome and achieve our goals. We need to believe that we can.

You know, I have the spirit to live. Sometimes I realize how much time I was wasting, wasting time. Life is too precious to filled by scrubby worries. So, don't be afraid to face the challanges and explores every possibility in life.

No doubts, fears, or negative thoughts and you had all the confidence and drive necessary to take the correct actions forward to achieve everything you want. Believe in ourself, Recognizing our skills and abilities. Have faith in ourself.

For me, when I cross my limits, it makes me feel alive and feel so free. I become unlimited.
