Wake Up Call

-

I know you have been a little sad lately, been depressed and had been wishing for all other things.

You are on that point again of shutting yourself to the world. You are starting to live the life of a robot again. Wake up, eat, read, go to work and go home, be in front of your computer, keep up with how other people are living their lives that you are on the verge of forgetting to live yours.

All I know, I know that you are disappointed-- with yourself for most part. I have been telling you that you should not be hard on yourself. Don’t push yourself too hard coz we both know that you really cannot work or think under pressure. Things are not turning out as you have framed them in your mind and events are arising beyond your expectation, because you had forgotten that we cannot predict the future.

Remind yourself that everything is a choice. Everything is a matter of perspective—of how you view these things that had been coming your way. You are in the survival mode because you choose to see it that way. You need to look at little things that make your day happy, little stories of success, count blessings that come your way and appreciate wonderful people around you.

You just need a hug and someone to remind you that everything will be alright but if you keep on sulking and sleeping all day, you are missing the opportunity to get all the powerhugs the people around can give you.

Be strong. Be resilient, coz that's who you are.


Life is good. God is generous. Love is overflowing.

    Could be your wake up call or for others but it speaks in volumes. Wouldn't be nice to also sleep while being superhugged by someone :) and a very thought provoking post.

      it takes a lot of courage to accept that we are on our weak point in life. acknowledgment is the start and i hope to be better in the coming days, i hope you do too :)

      its not teaching itself that is stressing me out, its the system and something else...
      masaya magturo, walang duda... pero ang hirap gumalaw sa isang sistemang di naman yata kapakanan ng mga bata ang priority...

    Have you been reading my mind? Or have you been reading my life through a crystal ball or tarot cards? This is about me. Ok, I won't be flattering myself further, hahaha!

    Ang gusto ko lang naman sabihin eh tamang tama itong post na ito sa akin.

    You know despite that fact na na-promote ako from aliping sagigilid to master sadista sa trabaho, i feel so disappointed with my life. It's a choice nga siguro and an attitude. Siguro it's time to change my mindset.

    Natutuwa lang kasi ako sa inyo na you really love your job, your profession. Sa panahon ngayon sasabihin na martyr lang ang gustong maging teacher at walang pera. Pero you have the courage to live up to your calling, and i believe everything falls in its place.

    It is my pride. It is the pride of life, to think that you can draw your future with your own will and skills. We always forget that we do not own our bodies and our lives, and there's a greater Architect in heaven who has prepared a better future for us. Takot kasi tayo sa uknown, and the future is always unknown kaya walang magtiwala sa plano ng Diyos.

    So I end up making my own decisions and doing my own plans. At ngayon, nalulunod na ako sa kung anu-anong regrets. Pero mabuti ang Diyos. When a door is closed, God will open the windows so then I will see Him finally.

    Siguro nga I need a hug pero hindi ako masyadong mahilig sa physical contact like hugs, unless nasa kwarto tayo or may plano akong maging intimate (manyak lang, hahaha!). Hanggang handshakes lang ako.

    And i need a lot of sleep. Laging night shift ako. NAGLILITAWAN NA NAMAN ANG TAGIHAWAT KO!!!!

    hahaha! Lumalayo na ang theme ng comment ko sa entry na ito.

    Bilang pangwakas, eh nais kong ulitin ang isinulat mo...

    "Be strong. Be resilient, coz that's who you are. Life is good. God is generous. Love is overflowing. "

      iyak-tawa ko dito.... parte ng sulat ko sa sarili kom pagkahaba habang sulat, nung una, gagawin ko sanang parang open letter to myself, pero tinanggal ko na lang din yun heading at greeting part... Yung last three statements, had always been my mantra, pero depression had drowned it lately.... everything is a change of mindset tlaga, the power of thinking can cross boundaries between the now and what we can be... it is fear that screws up everything... it is faith that keeps us pressing on.

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...
