Stop! Fall to the ground.

You’re already found out.

Stand up! Check everything’s  swell.

Yeah, all is well that ends well.

But, you think nothing’s gonna harm you?

Well, it’s your mind plays controlling you.

Better watch out and think hard.

Before you fall back again to the ground.

Realize all is misplaced and lost.

Nothing more you can boast.

No more Monday Blues…

‘coz it’s my birthday! Hooray for 20! For my birthday post, sharing a little insight wouldn’t hurt. Here are two quotations from one of my most memorable professors this semester and from the not-so-memorable one.

“My heart is restless, O God, until it rests in Thee.”

- Saint Augustine

In life, true peace, joy, satisfaction, and a sense of fulfillment, can only be found in God and in His presence.

And here’s something about writing,

 

“It’s not just WHY you write, but also HOW you write.”

- Prof. Bana

 

God bless you!

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.

God bless!

A piece of thought from me to you…

You should, most of the time, expect that looks and character don’t go together in this world.

Not saying that generally all of them are bad, but some of the good-looking people I know have a not-so-good-looking character.

Superficial beauty is always of uttermost importance and one’s character is always of least importance. For a change, why don’t we try to put a lot of effort and time doing an extreme make-over of our character before we upgrade our outside looks.

The truth of it all is (believe it or not), everything on the inside is what truly matters in life. Your looks are temporary, it will inevitably fade away in time. A noble character and good attitude will not wither as time passes but it will bear more fruit in one’s life.

And  to end this note, here’s one of my favorite youtube singer, GABE!
