Everything happens for a reason.

Live While We're Young

Friend, a person who you like and enjoy being with, a person who helps and supports you with what will be good for you.

They are my friends. Friends that always there, in good and bad times. We share each other's company, may it be in happiness or sorrow. I love them and I know they feel the same about me.

Today, we are walking in different paths towards our future. I am happy that though we are not always together, we do not forget each other.

iJuander:

Kung minsan, sumasagi sa munti kong isipan, “Ano nga kaya ang Pilipinas kung hindi tayo nasakop ng mga dayuhan?”, “Pilipinas kaya ang tawag sa ating nasyon?”, “Pilipino kaya ang bansag sa mga taong nakatira rito?”,“Ano kaya tayo kung nanatili ang lupang ito na puro at walang bahid ng kung sino mang mga mananakop?”.Ilan lamang ito sa mga tanong na nais kong malaman ang kasagutan ngunit alam kong mga "siguro" at "baka" lamang ang tugon, mga hindi tiyak kung ganoon nga ang kalalabasan.

Gayunpaman, alam ko namang hindi na maibabalik pa ang panahong iyon, kaya marapat lamang na tumayo ako sa kasalukuyan nang hindi tuluyang tinatalikuran ang nakaraan. Palagi natin hanapin at tingnan ang positibong panig ng mga bagay-bagay. Alam naman nating may maganda ring naidulot ang mga mananakop sa ating bayan. Karamihan sa mga mayroon tayo ngayon ay nanggaling sa kanila. Ginawan lamang ng modipikasyon nating mga Pilipino ang kung ano man ang mayroon tayo ngayon upang masabing sariling atin.

Sa sandaling ito, bilang isang kabataang Pilipino, hayaan nyong ihayag ko ang mga pumapasok sa isipan ko kapag sinabing Pilipinas bilang isang Imagined Community. Sa aking pananaw, dapat:

ang bawat miyembro ng ating lipunan ay may pagpapahalaga sa karapatang-pantao at isinasabuhay ito;

ang mga namamahala sa ating bayan ay tumutugon sa mga problemang panlipunan na mahalagang bigyang pansin dahil nakasalalay dito ang kapakanan ng mga mamamayan (hal: problema sa trapiko, kaso ng kriminalidad at isyung pangkalusugan);

bigyan ng komprehensibong edukasyon ang lahat ng sa gayon ay mamulat ang mata ng lahat sa kalagayan ng ating bansa; at

lahat ay magkaroon ng isang malinaw na bisyon at misyon, maunawaan na ang lahat ay bahagi ng mas malaking komunidad at ang kanilang kontribusyon ay mahalaga upang makamtan ang kabutihang-panlahat.

Sa ganitong paraan, napakasarap sigurong mabuhay sa bayang ganito ang kondisyon.

Calm down, that doesn’t define you

Do not let your inadequacy affect, control and define you as a whole being.

Crumpled papers, unfinished essays, unsolved problem sets, I hate myself from not being able to complete all of these requirements ahead of the deadline. Why it always ends up being rushed, me doing cramming? Yes, I know procrastinating is bad, very bad for us college students, but I have this kind of habit that I can think more when I'm being rushed. Even if I do these ahead of time, I can't think of something to begin my school work. It is like my brain is not functioning unless its three hours before the submission. Funny, right? But yeah, it's true, and I see my self being inadequate.

All people have their own weaknesses, so do I. It is normal to have weaknesses because no one lived and will be born with a perfect life. Having a perfect life is up to us, it depends on how we define a perfect life. Just like me, I have flaws and defects too. Today, at this very moment, I found I was more confident when I stopped trying to chase someone else's definition of perfect life, and what I will do right now is to start having and building my own definition of a perfect life.

Weaknesses can be viewed in a positive way. Always look at the bright side of everything. Someone told me that my weakness can be my greatest strength. It was true almost all of the situations I am in. It is on how we view things. Mind over matter, a very cliche saying but true. It is in our hands, the choice if we will let our inadequacy takes over us. Let every situation be what it is instead of what you think it should be, and then make the best out of it. Live in the moment. I have made it this far, and I know I will make it through. I am stronger than what I think.

All of these summarizes the way how I overcame and will overcome my inadequacies. I apologize from not being organized with my thoughts(hahahaha). I hope someone whose facing many challeges in life with their inadequacies can read this and help them to surpass it.

Greatness begins with little good deeds. 

Everything starts from small, step by step, making it better. 

It is the little moments that makes life great. 

A journey for a great thing must begin with a small move.

Little acts if done by many, has a great impact.
