NOTW (not of this world)

Go against the current. Let them think that you are different, because you really are. Set a new standard. Not agreeing with this world's norm shows and proves your submission to God. As Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 12:2, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world.."

Remember this: You are not of this world, because you belong to God, you are a citizen of heaven.

“Sometimes the best reaction is to have no reaction at all”

There is something about this adulthood that gives us all the crap out of life. Stress is much more occurrent and almost everyday something pisses us off. There are lots of responses that we can give, but now let me emphasize to you this: The Art of Deadma.

Sa araw-araw maraming pwedeng magtrigger ng pagkabadtrip natin, yung tipong you really need your utmost patience so that your day would not be ruined. Yung pag na-late ka ng gising kahit limang beses mo ng na-snooze yung alarm ng phone mo. Yung di ka agad nakasakay sa train kasi ang tagal magsukli ng cashier na pinilahan mo sa North Ave. station ng MRT, tapos pagsakay mo sa train e ang lagkit lagkit na agad ng katabi mo, yung magsisi ka kasi nasayang yung ligo mo at nahawa ka lang sa kalagkitan niya. Yung pagdating mo sa opisina e mas mataas pa sa hairline ang taas ng kilay ng boss mo dahil isang oras kang late sa trabaho. Late ka na, malagkit ka pa. Nakakainis diba? — This is a perfect example wherein you really need to apply “The Art of Deadma”. Very necessary siya sa buhay, to the point na sana kasama sya sa curriculum sa school along with History and Physics. I wonder how the professors would teach the subject. Tapos pag pumasa ka kasama sa title mo sa pangalan: Jubcy Sebastian, RN (Registered Nurse) MAD (Master in Art of Deadma). Not so makatotohanan, but the real deal here is there really are times that you need to practice the Art of Deadma. Here are some of the examples:

When you have the feeling na isa ka sa cast ng Horrible Bosses. Isa ka sa mga taong paborito ng boss, paborito niyang sitahin. You do what you need to do, yet the boss is not satisfied with your work and asks you to take a farther leap. Yung tipong palaging mali mo ang laging nakikita, hindi ang sexy mong office skirt, pula mong lipstick o ang maganda mong performance sa trabaho. Look, marami talagang tao ang fault finder, yung mga taong mas nakikita yung tuldok sa bond paper kesa sa kaputian ng papel na ito, yung mga taong sumasaya kung nakakapuna ng iba. Two things: either magresign ka at maghanap ng ibang trabaho sa jobstreet OR you will try to endure your boss’ conduct and practice the Art of Deadma.

When you are too tired to react over some unimportant stuff or unimportant people. Yung feeling na tinatamad ka lang magreact, tinatamad ka lang pumatol. Yung time na busina ng busina yung driver ng Toyota Fortuner sa likod mo on a Friday Payday night. Two things: either patulan mo, businahan mo din o bumaba ka ng sasakyan mo, katukin ang driver na kanina ka pa iniinis at hamunin sya ng away. Baka magsisi ka kasi baka magaya ka sa mga napapabalita na binaril because of traffic away OR io-on mo ang Spotify mo at lalaksan ang volume habang tumutugtog ang playlist ni Ariana Grande while you are trying to conrol your temper at the same time you want to conserve your energy dahil ayaw mong mastress sa gabi na gigimik ka pa. Like Miss Ruffa Gutierrez’s tweet: “@iloveruffag: I’ve practiced the art of deadma. Mind over matter. I don’t mind them because they don’t matter.” Remember: giving your “no reaction” reaction doesn’t mean you are not affected, it just means that you realize how precious your time is that some things or some people are just not worthy of it.

Lastly, when you are just too busy counting all of your blessings that you don’t have the time to take notice all of your disappointments nor the things that irritate you. I think this is the best reason why we should be practicing the art of deadma. Two things: either sirain mo ang araw mo at magdwell ka sa mga frustrations mo sa buhay, magpakalunod ka sa galit and linger on your hatred OR count all the favor and the blessings that you have received, dwell on the things that make you happy, and just simply live a peaceful life.

Practicing the art of deadma signifies maturity, as my boyfriend would say regarding this random realization of mine, “Nagmamature ka na.” This shows that you are patient enough not to be easily annoyed, smart enough that you get to know when to give attention or when not to be afftected , and positive enough that you do not easily take notice of how disappointing this world is but rather you give more importance to the brighter side of life. Ika nga, “Focus on the good.”
