January was such a tough month so I’m going to do something I haven’t done in such a long time – I’m going to write a blog. I figured if I just tweet these stuff, there would be a small chance of me seeing them again because they would just get sort of lost in a pile of tweets. So, I’m just gonna leave this here.
I used to believe that everyone’s got kindness inside of them. That no matter what, kindness and goodness will still prevail. But sometimes it’s just better to assume the worst in someone. That way, you won’t get so surprised when they get their saltik.
College was really tough. But at least all those sleepless nights, sabaw moments and ngarag moments almost always pay off. It’s really different once you’re working na (okay, maybe it depends upon your chosen field; this one’s from mine, however). You can work your ass off, get no decent sleep and meal for consecutive days, go outside your comfort zone, do great measures for something and yet… you still get rejected. They still want more. And you have all this pressure surrounding you so you have no choice but to continue even though you don’t know if you’re still emotionally and physically capable of doing it.
People will get inside your nerve. You just need to shrug them off and just do what you’re supposed to do. Gawin mo lang ‘yung trabaho mo.
“Well, this is work. You’re not supposed to make friends. Kung meron man at genuine ‘yun, bonus lang ‘yun.”
I’m starting to understand what he meant when he said “Trust no one.”
It’s getting toxic in here and I don’t even, at the slightest, like what I’m doing. But sometimes we just have to suck it up and continue. I know better than being a quitter. If you quit every time you get discouraged, unhappy and belittled, you won’t go anywhere.
You don’t even know me like that. You don’t deserve to, anyway.
Some people may have everything easier – career, happiness, love, success. That doesn’t happen to everyone, though. For some of us, we have to go through so much pain and struggles first. And that’s normal. That’s okay. Pretty sure the people we look up to has gone through whatever you’re going through now. Probably even worse.
Do not give them the satisfaction of seeing you quit. Stand up, child.
I have to be reminded of my elementary school motto: I have a destiny: to succeed, to prosper and to overcome.
Maybe we’re destined for something. Maybe we create our own destiny. Maybe we’re just a bunch of lost kids wandering around. Or maybe it’s all of the above.
At your age now, you might think you know a lot already. But really, you don’t.
They used to always say that being smart is not enough. That it’s not high grades and Latin Honors, but being madiskarte and matiyaga, that will get you to places. I used to be bitter every time I heard this. But it’s true. Being just smart won’t get you to places. You have to work really really hard and be extra patient, too.
Have you ever thought that maybe we are who we are because of our Zodiac signs? LMAO
You used to know things that you forget along the way. Find them. They will help you.
Baby steps are way better than taking no steps at all.
On discovering things about myself:
When Bieber sang “She’s indecisive. She can’t decide.” I felt that. I am that girl. And it’s probably because I’m a Libra. Lol. Apparently, we are indecisive.
I may be madaldal and ma-PR but I’m actually really shy. I can’t understand why I cannot give justice to my talents and capabilities. I guess I’ve always known this and it frustrates me that I’m always too shy to publish (and commission LOL) my works or execute my talents. I know I can do better. WHAT! IS! THIS!
I may have anxiety. I get episodes when suddenly everything blurs out and I can’t breathe properly. It occurs when I’m lost in thoughts, when I’m under so much pressure, when I had too much coffee to drink, when I’m sitting inside a coffee shop or in the middle of watching a comedy movie inside a theatre.
Too much coffee ain’t good for me. Stick to grande-sized coffee if you don’t want to have acid reflux at midnight; and try to stay away from Mcdonald’s coffee if you don’t want to palpitate so hard you can’t even remember who you are.
Drinking so much water per day has never felt so good and so right.
I’m starting to believe in luck and zodiac signs, tbh. LMAO.
I still haven’t found my “it”.
Ugh, such a lengthy post!! I’m just really glad that January is finally over.
Hoping February’s got nothing but better days! <3
