Trust me whenever I say that I'll be there for you.

Whenever you hear those words, always remember that I mean it. I did not say it just to make you feel better. I uttered those words because that’s what my heart wanted me to do. Chances are I’ll stick to it ‘til the end.

I will try to stop whatever I am doing just to help you whenever you have a problem. Maybe that could signify how important you are and how much I am willing to comfort you all the time. I will do my best not just to witness all your ups and downs but to be with you doing whatever I can during those moments in your life.

Things might happen. Let’s be open to the possibility that we might grow apart from each other due to some circumstances. Despite that, always remember that I will be there for you no matter what. I might look as if I don’t care. But in reality,once I cared for you, I always will. Just get my attention and I assure you that I’ll be there.

Pain

I guess everyone of us have felt pain once in our lives. Sometimes, we feel as if we can’t get over it. The pain that we feel makes our lives miserable. It becomes hard for us to go up and move forward from the mistakes that we have made.

I've experienced pain a lot of times in my life. There were times that I felt like giving up. Whenever I think of it, I ask myself why I allowed it to affect my life so much. I would often think of the things that happened and I could not let go. I tried to reflect but nothing seems to change.

One thing I learned from my experience is to let go of the painful events that happened to me. Acceptance is the key. Always remember that there are a lot of people around you who are more than willing to help you. You just forgot to open your eyes and see that they exist. After some time, you’d be happy for sure.

We are responsible for our feelings.

Everyday, I try to write a quote of my own in my planner. It's either that's what I feel or that's what I learned for the day from the people whom I spend my day with.

I believe that there are times that people would regret the chances that they give to people especially if these chances are not given importance. They feel like they are taken for granted for the mere reason that they can't help removing the possibility that good things would prosper. When things don't happen according to what they planned, they would think that things might be better if they could undo what they have given.

A professor told us that we are the ones responsible for our feelings. I think that's the reason why I've written that second quote last night. There are instances that people would harm us without them even knowing. For an instance, you might have a gum stuck in your hair because you leaned on the wall. That person never knew that your day was ruined just because of that gum. He spent his day right without even thinking about you while you kept on thinking of the person who left that gum on the wall. You wasted your whole day thinking of things that don't even matter to other people.

Everything depends on how would you react to situations. It is difficult not to get affected but it is possible. Through time, we would be able to learn how to ignore bad things and just go on with our life and be productive prioritizing more important things.

I have a poor handwriting and I know it.

Chances

All of us are given chances in life. We might already have that chance to be happy and successful in life. However, it would still depend on us on how to use those chances.

More often than not, we always lose our chance because we would always think that there would still be next time. It’s hard for us to make the right choice right now because of different factors that bother us. We tend to forget that not all opportunities could knock our door twice. There are times that when you lose those chances, all you could do is regret because no matter how much you chase it, it won’t come back.

It is so painful to realize what you really wanted when everything has already passed by. It hurts knowing that you lose grasp of the thing you really wanted. We are always allowed to have a mistake in making decisions. It is so painful that you would even do anything just to go back to a certain time and change your actions.

The moment you realize everything, it’s already too late. You lose the most precious thing you wanted. All you could do is cry and feel sorry for yourself.

Next time, try to be careful of your actions and think carefully. For sure, you would never want to lose another chance again.

Making a decision is different from making a choice.

In making a decision, you consider the pros and cons. After analyzing everything, you would be able to come up into a decision.

In making a choice, you know the pros and cons. However, you still do what you wanna do. You disregard everything.

Started the year 2012 right.

I was not able to make a blog post on the first day of the year 'cos I was too busy. I could say that the first two days of the year were great.

On Dec. 31 , we went to Tomas Morato to visit the stall of my cousin who was selling Dragon Fireworks. After that, we went straight back to our home while waiting for the clock to strike midnight. We could see all the colorful fireworks at the sky. When it turned 12 mn, I and my sister jumped hoping that we could still grow taller. We also had coins in our pockets and we had paper bills taped on our blouses (the idea was suggested by my sis). We kissed our parents and had our media noche.



On Jan. 1, we went to my Uncle's house. It has been a tradition to have a family reunion during lunch. Stayed there for almost four hours. It was nice to see everyone and to bond with them. I was not able to take pictures with them. Instead, I took solo pictures of myself. It seems like I started the year being vain.



I was also bored so I took some pictures of the flowers of the bouquet I saw at the room of my grandma.



Today, January 2, we went to Greenbelt. I was able to buy a cardigan. Also, I asked my dad to buy me a Belle De Jour Planner. I used one last year and decided to use the same planner for this year. I am kinda excited to use it.



We ate at Causeway Banawe for dinner. I was able to take pictures of my fave dimsum (Crabroe siomai, Chicken Feet, and Seafood Roll)



I could feel that I'll have a great year. This is just the start of 2012 and I am satisfied with the days that has passed.
