Day 26 - Gly Parañal
Two things I’m really excited about: Design Your Life 2012 Planner and Lauren Oliver’s, Before I Fall. I can’t wait to fill the planner up with all the wonderful adventures and lessons that 2012 will bring! I still need to finish reading the book, The Boy In The Striped Pajamas and let the midterm end for me to read the latest novel, though. New books and notebooks (that aren’t really related that much with school) makes me happy.. really happy! :D
Since life does not have a manual, humans make mistakes and most of the time, we repeat them (over and over again).
As I grow up, I have stumbled upon a lot of things and as I get up, I learned about some of life’s wonders. Here are the things I realized:
* When you are young, it is indeed true that you have all the time in the world. It is not the limitations that will stop you from achieving your goal — it is the freedom of doing anything and everything (excessively). Freedom comes with responsibility too; too little and too much of anything is not good. My Math professor once told us that we have all the time in the world but the only problem is, we wastespend our time with the wrong things.
* If you do not set your priorities, you will have no direction.
* You cannot fully commit into a relationship if you do not accept and love yourself first. How can you love someone if you do not love yourself?
* There are great results if you put an effort on what you do.
* You will come across people who will bring you down and will make you feel worthless. Do not let them determine who you are or who you will be. You know yourself better.
* Temptations are everywhere. As my elder sister said, “Temptations give you an opportunity to do good”. So, ignore temptations and do what is right.
* There are people who do not walk the talk. Do not be like them.
* There are people who talk a lot but there is no substance in what they say. Let them but if you can, avoid them. It will just irritate you and you will get nothing from the conversation.
* When you cannot sleep at night thinking about a (particular) thing, whatever it is, do it!
* A qoute I have read on Tumblr, “Follow your heart but take your brain with you”.
* One of my professors said, “What you see is what you are inside”. It is pretty much the same as the (other) qoute I reblogged on Tumblr — “Judging a person does not determine who they are, it determines who you are.”
* Again, from one of my professors: “Carpe diem!” which means “seize the day!”. As the cliche’ goes, “You cannot bring back what has been done”.
* There are so many things to discover. Go outside and explore the world! (Not just the world wide web).
* Age does not matter, experiences does.
* Sometimes, choosing between two things does not really settle the problem.
* Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston will never get back together.
* Acceptance takes time, lots of time.
* Once you enter college, you will value every minute of sleep.
* Disney movies was not just made to teach kids a lesson but the adults too (especially, the adults).
* You can never be sure of something unless you experience it, yourself.
* Some friendship fall apart; the one who truly cares will make an effort and stay.
Many people think highly of themselves now, I can’t understand why these people make others feel inferior of them (purposely). It’s just sad how they think they can step on anybody’s toe just because they’ve “achieved” something.
I cannot imagine how a person goes through their day without music, I feel like everybody needs it. I can say that it can make a person’s day all right. It’s just amazing how music can make a person feel a thousand things in 3-5 minutes.
It’s really nice when people appreciate what you do, it makes you want to be better and make you feel less alone.
There are things and people that will never change. You can accept them and deal with them or just move on without them. I know it’s easy to say this but is very hard to do but people get tired of waiting and understanding and when people get tired, there’s no turning back. If you’re not getting something good from that thing or person anymore, you leave. They always say that people come and go, it hurts but it’s true — we all have a little (most of the time, big) moving on to do. Just like what they say, “the world doesn’t stop for anybody and life goes on”.
Day 20 - Gly Parañal
This is a picture of me with my nephew, Andres. I sometimes think of how many kids I want when I get married. I want to have a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. One time, big time! Everyone wants to be a great mom and I know, I will be, one day. The father is going to be lucky! ;)
Day 19 - Gly Parañal
Today I’m thankful for a Kodak envelope, Candy’s Style Guide, and none other than Julety!
* Julet and I took pictures for our photography class and had them printed after since they were supposed to be submitted today. Uh-oh!
* We ate dinner at Sweet Ideas. While eating dessert, we wrote our goals — what we want to be five years from now. We have nothing else to do, so yea. It was great, though! We felt like an elementary student being asked by our teacher, being pressured to think of what we want to be when we grow up. The only difference is, we now have a vision of what we want to do after college and where we’ll go from here. It was wonderful!
I wrote down, “5 years from now.. I am a Fashion Stylist and Photographer plus a Writer. It’s just amazing because all I did today and what I’m doing now are related to these goals. I must be doing something right.
* We went at Fully Booked and read a pile of fashion and dog books (Julet said she “might” want to be a veterinarian). Anyway, I want to buy every single fashion career guide because I badly want to be in the industry.
What happened today inspired me to strive hard and do something to be where I want to be. I’ve read on one of the fashion books that when it comes to dreams, we shouldn’t set limits. And then I realized, if others can do it, you can too, maybe better. Plus they say, confidence goes a long way, so, I might want to work on that.
I’ve been feeling bad for one week already — physically and emotionally. I have a headache, sore throat, runny nose, and cough since Saturday. I can’t use my cuts now because I consumed almost all of them last month. Now, I realized the importance of cuts, I should’ve used them wisely. What goes around comes around.
I miss high school, where everything seemed so light and fun, where carefree is everyone’s middle name. But then, we all have to grow up (somehow).
