You need to let this go. For real this time. No more ego. No hate. No anger. Just the same as it were before. You'll be okay.

Isang napaka-gandang kanta mula sa bandang Peryodiko.  Isang paalala na ang ating mga kalungkutan ay bahagi ng ating kasiyahan. Ang pait ng ngayon ay bahagi ng kaligayahan ng kahapon  Wag kalimutan mga masayang sandali At ang oras, tulad ng mga tao ay lumilisan Wag mag-alala kung ang iba'y nananatili sa nakaraan At ang iba'y aalis dahil sa kasalukuyan Pag-ibig ay duyan, at madalas pag-tuonan ang pait lang ng ngayon Di na nabibilang, napag-iisipan mga masayang sandali ng kahapon Patuloy na mabuhay Manatiling namnamin ang ulan Patuloy na mangarap Napapangiti ka pa ba ng ulan? May pangarap bang walang dahilan? Patuloy ang buhay Kung sa ayaw at sa gusto mo Tuloy ang ihip ng hangin Tuloy ang dating ng bukas Pilitin man ay di na kayang pigilin ang ihip ng hangin Ito man ang huling gabing ating pagsasama Ang bukas ay nag-aabang na

It's been awhile. You are still the girl in my dreams.

you're just jealous. ofcourse i am. are you kidding me? i'm human, i have emotions. but it's not going last. what isn't going to last? This. This thing that you're feeling right now. What? Jealousy? I want you to try something different. Instead of feeling bad about being jealous. I want you to enjoy it. Relish every bit of this emotion. Amplify, notice and make sense. I want you think that you're lucky that you get to feel this.  Because really, you are. There's going to be a day when you will feel nothing about this. You are going to remember this moment and realize that at that period what you felt was authentic and real.  And you were not trying to be someone else. You were not trying to impress anyone. It was just you. Authentic and real. oddly enough, you're going to miss this moment when that day comes.

The problem with the internet is that you will always find something/someone to agree with you. Like a heightened case of confirmation bias. As soon as you become aware of this human tendency, the better you can interpret your thoughts and see if it necessarily has bearings.

"Here's the thing. Sometimes you're not supposed to enjoy it, you're  supposed to cooperate with the misery and proceed anyway. " -Robert Downey Jr.

A Moment to Remember Damn Koreans really know how to make stories I cried like three times.  I had to pause the thing twice and collect myself. This just challenged my views of what I've been told what love is. Love and Life. Are they really just memories? Are we really just taking them on? experiencing. Is love really just as good as the memories we make? and reciprocity? Is love just as good as the love that we receive? The context of the film is that the girl has Alzheimer's disease. A degradation of memories. A degradation of memories. Why build all these amazing memories and experiences, when at the end it's just going to end up like dust? Maybe the point of love isn't the memories and the experiences? If that's not it. then what is? Is it the effect you give to the other person? What if you're hurting the other person? The duality of life is that, pain and love go hand in hand.  The other one affects the other. This is like sayin...

when did i arrive to this place? i found a road  and i wasn't even lost i was just wandering then i found a road or maybe i decided to take one but i wasn't lost in the first place now it seems like it now the street's unraveling itself and it's not pretty maybe it's not supposed to be pretty maybe it's really a dark, mysterious place and you're supposed to just brave through it stand fast be brave

"maybe that's not terrible as long as it's happening there might be a good view of it.. it's not going to get you there quicker. i'm losing nothing, i just feel bad if you could just take a breath and calm down." -Louis CK

"Do I lie to myself to be happy?" - Memento (2000)

Sometimes I ask for advice that I shouldn't have asked. Grr. The conversation went like: "Try to think what are your motivations before you make a decision" and that caught me off guard. What were my motivations when I started doing this? I was young, just off school. I was ambitious but pragmatic. I knew, I had to start somewhere. I could take a shortcut but at that time, there wasn't any opportunity for a shortcut. Or I just didn't know how to. When I graduated, It seemed like the next necessary step. Get a job. So really, why?  I wanted to learn. I wanted to contribute. I wanted to make my parents proud. I wanted to be able to start saving for myself. Three years later.  Have those motivations changed? A little bit. I am still learning. I am now contributing, but i want to contribute more. I'm sure my parents are proud. At least, I think they are. I get to save a little.  So now, what are the why's? Why do you still do this? Do...

Masubukang magsulat sa aking unang wika. Kamusta ang linggong ito? Mabuti naman bilang kabuuan. May ilang parte ng mga araw na hindi nabuo nang naayon sa mga pinaplano ko sana, pero mabuti naman. (Ang hirap pala nito)  Iisipin mong madali lang magsulat sa Filipino, dahil ginagamit mo ito lagi, pero hindi, mahirap din.  Madali lang naman. Ang hirap lang ipaliwanag ng ibang mga bagay, na mas nasanay ka nang ipahayag sa Ingles. Minsan, may ibang bagay or salita na sa Ingles ko lang naipapahayag. Aminado ako. Oo, parang mas ginagamit ko ang Ingles ngayon kesa sa Filipino. Dala ng trabaho, makabagong kultura na rin siguro, social media at iba pa. Kung iisipin, hindi naman dapat kalimutan ang isang parte ng kultura para sa panibagong parte ng isang makabago at mas napapanahon na kultura.  Patuloy mo bang kakalimutan ang wikang Filipino para sa Ingles, dahil mas ginagamit mo ito? (okay okay, basta mahalaga pareho para sa akin dahil pareho silang nakakatulong sa k...

hehehe sa kabilang banda, parang kelangan ko pa

"There's a love that transcends All that we've known of ourselves And I'll wait for it to come,  I'll wait for it to come Well it's got to be strong to touch my heart Through its shell And I'll wait for it to come,  I'll wait for it to come"

I don't take my friendships for granted Nothing in this world is permanent I try to keep my relationships as well as I can Sometimes it doesn't work out but at the end of the day you're still both persons
