Right, Left – Up, Down?

I consider making decisions, especially major ones, one of the most difficult and strenuous things to do. It can drain your energy without doing any physical exercises. Plus, it could wear out your mental capacity to the max. Why do I have to talk about making decisions right now? It can be considered an overrated topic. But you see, human beings are not aware that they are already making a decision from the moment they open up their eyes in the morning. How could waking up in the morning be relevant to decision-making? Well, if you chose to wake up, you’re already deciding that you don’t want to stay in bed, some choose the other way around. I’ve been pondering on some thoughts about this since my younger sister asked for my help in editing her speech some weeks ago. Guess what her speech was about? If you still haven’t got a clue, here’s some hint, DECISION-MAKING. Now do you get it? Surprisingly, I’ve been put in a situation where the decision I have to make is very crucial. But no worries, God would surely lead me to the right one as long as I know how to listen.

Making decisions maybe something we have to deal with daily, but we are unaware of the fact that our choices is a reflection of our character. What we are mirrors what we do. So here’s my final say on decision-making:

—> Always choose the right one. What you think is best might not always be the right one. It can also be painful, but very rewarding in the end.

—> Don’t make decisions that you would later regret. Remember, consequences are always included and inevitable in your decision.

A New Year Thought

Walking through the sands of time, I replayed my life from the day I was born.

Upon the coastline of the sea of memory, reflection came so easily. Images quickly encompassing the sun-lit sky.

Unnecessary movements distracted my thoughts. I decided to sit where the waves of the sea nearly touched the tip of my toes.

I thought to myself, “A lot has happened.”

Reminiscing my childhood years up to the recent events of my life, everything I had experienced and was exposed to is part of a Divine Plan. Nothing coincidental occurs in one’s life. One way or another, everything happens for a reason.

My New Year Blah Blah Blah…

There has to be a celebration. Why? This is my second post for the year 2009 and I’ve just finished the first one yesterday. Well, I suppose I could consider it something new I have accomplished for this year. 2 consecutive posts in 2 days. Last year, it took me months before I could find the time to update my blog. Maybe for this year, I would put this up as one of my goals, writing more. I started writing when I was 13 or 14. After my first writing, realization hit me on the spot. I have a knack for this hobby. Writing is a “spur of the moment” kind of thing. Most of the time, I write best under negative circumstances. I believe it’s not something unusual for those who have the artistic ability. Emotions are tools, or for me, catalysts to producing something creatively wonderful. If a certain emotion is intensified, the more I could get something out of me. For the past years, I haven’t considered myself as a writer for such reasons as 1.) I don’t make it a living. 2.) I never really had much knowledge in this form of art, unlike people taking up English Literature for example. 3.) I’m not good enough. I know I sound like a pessimist, but I’m not really satisfied with the outcome of everything I do. There’s no real satisfaction waiting in exchange for the effort I have given. Why can’t I be easily satisfied? I push through to better myself. But the moment perseverance takes its place, the higher I will raise the bar and the higher the expectations will be. Mainly that’s the reason I get easily disappointed. By now, you must have realized I’m just writing what my mind and heart dictates, so there’s no certain topic for this post. I could certainly label it as “My New Year Blah Blah Blah”. Haha, that’s funny. Let’s move on to a different topic and leave this writing and expectation issues behind.

Holiday vacations are finally over, but I’m still not attending classes. I’ve got the laziness disease for your information. Classes resumed last week, but I’m still here at home, deliberating when I will enroll. It’s my final trimester at school. I do love school, but I dislike the environment and some of the people that are in it, with the exception of my friends. I love them too much to actually hate them. This was supposed to be the most enjoyable trimester because I already have freehand drawing as one of my subjects. It’s fun being a fine arts student. Since, I haven’t been in school for a while, I spend most of my time just surfing the net. I also found my ideal guy. But I wouldn’t reveal him to you. He’s everything I wished for in a man, except that he doesn’t have a relationship with the Lord, which is the most important factor I consider. If ever I would be marrying someone, he has to be someone like him.

Well, I don’t have anything to say anymore. Too much information has been revealed about me. Hope you have a great year this 2009. God bless!
