Bugtong bugtong!

Hindi ito isang asignatura

Na kailangang mapunan ang blangko ng mga tugmang letra.

Letrang bubuo sa salitang ama, ina, ate at kuya.

Kung nasaan ang pagmamahal ay naroon rin siya.

Sirit ka na ba?

Ang salitang ito ay higit pa sa kahulugang nakasulat sa historya.

Pamilya.

Dear Self

I know you're struggling. I know sometimes you think that such things might happen in an unpleasant way and brings you nothing but abject misery. You're keeping in your mind more often that life fails to endow you something you can use in many ways. You ponder that you're a doleful failure and seems hope is likely to dwindle. You felt wretched about how things had turned out. You're carrying yourself in a world of pessimism. Every now and then, you're puzzled as to why you're stuck in all the blues and how to run away from the heart of that pesky woe with much of a deep sense of despair.

But NAH!

Kindly wipe away all those unpleasant thoughts. It brings no good to you. You're doughty — never heard of that before? Live happily with countless hopes and keep on going with dogged determination despite all odds. Stop being so pathetic. Cast all your worries and soon enough you'll be glad seeing yourself flourishing. If there comes a time that pain is almost more than you could bear, keep in mind that God is more powerful than all of your difficulties. He will not give you those burdens if you can't overcome. Just have faith and trust HIM.

Life is so mind-blowing! Take risks. Sacrifice. Let joy and persistence abide in you.

You haven't seem to realize how strong you are for picking up yourself after you stumbled and fell for how many times. Keep on believing yourself. Everything will soon be on their proper place.

“Puoi farlo!”

Happy 19th birthday, Kuya Carl!

18th

Okay, I just want to share to you guys what had happened on my debut. This isn't the kind of debut that was elegantly and costly prepared. This was just a simple celebration with my family and friends. We're not living in luxury and in a lavish lifestyle, we're just being happy and contented to have three meals a day and a roof over our heads. That's why, we keep on studying hard, with my siblings, to have great futures and hopefully be professionals someday and give our parents the comfortable living they deserve to have.

Before that day, I started inviting my college and high school friends, as well as my churchmates. They responded and were chuffed to attend on my day. But, I felt so bad on my college friends. I know some of them can't manage to go. Really can't! But! Uuugh! Oh life, why?

Sitting inside the library, disclosing my notes and reviewing some lessons, listening to them and suddenly couldn't help but to lay my head down on the table. They can't keep their mouth from repeating all those words, "I'll try to attend.", "I'm sorry, MJ.", "We have our fieldtrip at the same time.", etc. Uggh! Really? I'm present in all of your special events (Ay! Hindi pala lahat. Hihi. Pero kahit na!), and this is how you pay? (Drama ko noh?) I'm having so much glitches and seriously, it's sad to hear all those things. They can't be with me on that entire day.

Silence had laid within me that moment. I'm not used to sulk in this kind of situation. I just can't wear a smile. Until, our first subject that Wednesday afternoon is about to start. Hours passed by, and finally, we're about to go home. On our way, I'm still upset. We don't have schedules the day after tomorrow but I have decided not to attend the whole class after that day. I helped my co-officers in organizing our youth gathering that Saturday and have attended the World Apostolate of Fatima Basic Seminar. I wasn't able to get the tricky quiz in our Economics subject and failed to get an excuse in our last subject, Soc 3. But, whatever happens, I'll try to make "bawi" on the next meeting.

So, the day came with a slight blue...

I went to church at quarter to 6 in the morning. And every person whom I passed by (Of course, persons who know me!) greeted me, wishing everything wonderful that life has to offer to me. And yes, I'm thankful. It was few minutes for the hand clock to move to 12 noon. Before lunch, I left the parish and went back home.

In my great surprise...

For a moment...

I was astounded...

It was...

I was like...

Oh my! So cuuuuuuuuuute! I gave a chuckle for ruining their surprise. Hahahahaha! They're not yet finished in decorating. What a cute epic! I never knew they would do that, planned it for days. And they didn't even knew that I was supposed to return home that very hour.

Sorry guys! But I'm telling you how cute it was.

So my college friends was disappointed and also surprised. Hahahaha! *chuckle* I'm really sorry for that. Anyway, I went inside the room and told them to continue doing it. So I fell asleep for a while. And when I  woke up and went out from my room, flashes are outside. They're holding their phones and taking up some pictures. And even if I already knew it, I wasn't expecting that it was just so beautiful and superb than I ever think it will be! 

That was just...

Oh God, thank you for giving me good and thoughtful friends! I'm so blessed. I made a wish and blew my candles then. It was sad that they need to leave before sunset because others have such appointments. But, it's okay. They have just surprised me in a way that I also made them more flabbergasted. Hahaha! I love you guys. You never knew how glooms flee in me when I saw you busy finishing the surprise. Quite cute. And I know planning isn't as simple as one might suppose.

Ah! So that's why my mother kept on asking me days before about to where am I going and telling me not to go home early and since my friends might be there at expected time, around 6 in the afternoon. I'm not in a cloud of confusion because they're not giving me any idea of what will likely to happen. Their behaviors never baffled me. I ain't known nothing. I think I don't have good instincts. But they did it through and through.

Few minutes passed, my other pals came and started eating and singing. Part two of the surprise was made by my high school friends. I thought they ought to do nothing but they're greeting me in a cute way while walking towards me and I cast them a welcoming smile in their direction, holding a cake and letters in each boxes, "MJ AT 18" which failed from the start when you read it, "81 at MJ". Hahaha! Aww! So cute. Why I'm so blessed to have these kind of friends?

And after that, I joined them celebrating my debut. Simple but memorable. It was a history of my life that will never be forgotten. Thank you for all those people who became part of my legalization. You guys made my day extra special. I never visualized that it would go that way.

Message to myself:

Hoy, Ikaw! Oo, ikaw! Kindly put away all of your bad thoughts. I know there's a strong spirit that lies within you. I know you have talents but you haven't discovered it yet. It doesn't matter how many or how less you have, as long as you're using it. It's a gift. Don't be afraid to showcase what you have. Keep in mind that you need to be strong despite all odds. Everyone struggles. No one is exempted. So keep on going. You'll get to that point where all of your dreams lies.

All the best.

xo,

HAPPY 18TH TO ME!

28th day of August, 1998

[mariejoyginoo]

It was a JOY to behold For a moment, I forgot lamenting my fate. Decamping sorrowful past, Without sitting on the floor while hugging my knees. Grabbing a hold of that hope, real quick My eyes shone with happiness. For once in my life, I feel special. Nope! I failed to realize how special my life is —each and everyday.

Passing Infatuations

Hello there!

I know some of you (or almost all), young children, innocent teenagers, and even feeling-young adults (Joke lang!), have lots of crushes  —that’s normal. It’s just a simple short-term crush to  someone. It’s like a “crazy-chu-chu” which you haven’t got very serious since that’s only crush or puppy love. Thinking of her/him is just a simple symptom.

You might want to hear what I’m going to share. I know you don’t. But, anyway, I’m gonna share this one since I also feel you guys. I have this called infatuation to someone I called a friend. Yes! A friend of mine. I don’t wanna lose that friendship and the trust I earned from everybody and from him.

You see?

It’s difficult to fall for someone you treat as one of your bestfriends. Maybe, I’ll be sad for this now. Perhaps, I’ll might give it a laugh when time is okay. It’s no serious at all. Hahahaha! I know what you’re thinking. A common issue indeed! Hi five!

Wanna hear my advice? Even if you don’t, I’ll give it.

Don’t rush things...

What’s meant for you will always arrive right on time. Just wait. but sometimes, what you’re looking for is already in front of you.

So...

Study now, lovelife later! Hahaha!

For adults...

Work now, work later!

Just kidding! Do what makes you happy and always choose to be happy. Most of all, pray.

God bless, everyone!

Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine.
