2013 reminders

Because, i was not able to write my year end blog of thank you's and gratefulness and appreciation, I'll start my first ever 2013 post with some one word reminders that I wrote as resolutions in my oh so pretty planner for 2013. :)

I believe in reminders more than resolutions. Because I have such poor resolve in doing things I promised I'd do and changing things I said I'll change. But reminding myself everyday of the things that I know I should and should not do, is a better way of ensuring that I'll change for the better this year :)

Love
Because with love, everything good follows. Enough of the hate and the almost teenage angst. Always give love. 

Patience
I am not a patient person. I don't like waiting. I don't like it when I don't get things my way. I know I am like that. I know that it is not right to be like that and this year I am challenging myself to remind myself everyday that I should increase my patience in everything that I do and with everyone I meet. 

Understanding
Cause patience and understanding come hand in hand. To be able to be more patient, one must try to understand more. Everyone is different, each person has their own way of living their life, dealing with things they have to deal with. And if these things are against what I believe and what I want, I must remind myself to understand more. Everything has a reason. 

Happiness
Life is too short to spend not being happy every single day, minute and second if possible. Having the first three in my list, will definitely (hopefully) give me the happiness that I seek in life. When we are happy, it would be easy to become others' sources of happiness and joy. and i'd like that :) 

Acceptance
As the prayer goes, 'Grant me the serenity to accept things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference'. With acceptance comes peace, and I have nothing more to ask but a happy and peaceful life this coming year, for myself and for my family.

Faith
Aside from being the year of faith, the first mass that I attended for this year, reminded me to add this in my 2013 reminders. Faith in myself, in my friends and my family. And of course, faith in Him, in His Will and His Love. 

With all these, I welcome, 2013 with some great positive attitude. :) Thank You for the wonderful year that has passed and im looking forward for what You have prepared for me in this future :)

and things will start to change..

to start it all: my hair! haha. it's short now. like kindergarten short. haha. i like it. and i wanted to have my hair cut since summer, but because of grad pictorials, i need to postpone it. and grad pictorials are done - and i don't want to postpone it any longer. haha. so i had my hair cut yesterday afternoon after watching the Agnes of God play with my brother. (i have no decent pictures yet so you need to see me personally if you want to see it. i feel weird. i think it looks weird. haha.) and so everything follows. *** change is something inevitable. a natural phenomenon that would definitely happen in one way or another. we can't stop it (i think) but we can postpone it and i think i've postponed "that" inevitable change for too long now, and I have no other choice but to let it happen. i've already felt the urge to remove that something from my system at the start of the sem (as the change im talking about). well, i knew i need to deal wi...

a sad day.

i was a messenger last tuesday for my mom. she asked me to whisper a message to my tita. and just this afternoon, while i was in the lab for thesis, my mother texted me that tita lita is gone. it was quite expected, since this has been her third time in the past 3 months to be hospitalized. her third time that transfusion is needed. and of the three times, maybe this was the worst. *** she has given a lot to others. to her parents, her siblings and to us, her nephews and nieces. i was able to live with her for three years during high school and i have a lot of things to thank her for. I'm not that sure if she knows how grateful i am that i was able to stay with her during those times. looking back i would not have chosen any other place to stay for high school apart from hers. no matter how far paranaque may be in manila. i would never forget the mornings where she would wake up early too since i need to be at school early and she would stay late in pnu since our classe...
