sa pamilya mo? sa mga kaibigan mo? sa ibang tao?
ano ba gusto mo? dating o datung?
i care more about datung now, dating will only please people i don't care about. datung will help me and my family. also, when there's datung, dating will follow. =)

ordinary? o extraordinary?
alam mo bang 95% of people will be unsuccessful with their lives. that's not me talking. it's statistics.

lam mo,
i wanna go to starbucks, drink frappuccino and know that money comes in.
i also wanna go into several businesses, enter into real estate, make more money with my money. relax sa beach. pa-relax, relax. help people with their business, help them grow theirs so they we could all have better lives. we're actually helping the country as a result 'cause if the people are making good money, good health and look good, then people need not leave the country anymore for greener pastures. families will remain in tact. the world is our playing field with this business.

i love having money. i'm sure you feel the same way. it feels absolutely fine to have some - well to have a lot is most definitely fine - and with that i could give a lot too. i'm so happy and grateful that through Nu Skin, i could have a golden goose that'll keep producing golden eggs for generations to come. just one time planting with plenty of hard work and the harvest is permanent. it's amazing. i never thought it could be like this.

this is the life vehicle. not only financially but also emotionally and mentally. it's like a game. it's ok to make mistake 'cause it's all a game. and by just playing, you develop the disciplines that make life wonderful. of course, pag maglalaro ng game, you play to win, not to lose.

i like stretching myself. worth it ang pagod. hindi nakakapagod ang pagod. temporary lang naman eh. 5 years lang 'to. heehee. grabe. sige gawin natin ulit bukas! hahahaha

i think what separates ordinary and extraordinary is that extraordinary people are willing to do the things that ordinary people won't do so they could have what ordinary people will just dream about. and maybe sometimes, it's just involves doing ordinary things extraordinarily well, and more often than ordinary.

ganda ng japan. i wanna see those lovely gardens that they have. chill. it looks so peaceful in the pictures.

go to tibet and see some of 'em yaks!

gusto ko magwork sa nestle creamery as an ice cream maker. hehe.

i wanna dive with whale sharks.
see fireflies.
climb the pinatubo and mayon and taal.
ang ganda ganda ng pilipinas!

sarap ng ulan! lamig ng hangin!
sarap mag-cuddle and hug hug hug.
hot chocolate. warm warm warm.
alcohol is good too! hot hot hot.
friendships and love.
lovely!!

sabi nila,
"be true to yourself."

what does that mean? i hate it when sometimes you think you know one thing already but you don't really know it, know it. you know what i mean? i mean, when you think you should already know this, but you don't really get it until you really get it. or sometimes some people will just drop "lines of wisdom" and expect you to get it but you don't really get it and just pretend you do 'cause it's so overused already.

here are some of the things i think the aforementioned line means (tell me yours too)

respecting yourself.
respecting yourself enough to not settle for less.
respecting yourself to not let others disrespect you.
respecting yourself by asserting yourself and telling what you mean. need, or deserve in a confident manner.
na kakampi mo sarili mo.
that you're own best friend.
respecting yourself means you respect others
that you do your best 'cause you value others
that you care more about what you say and think about yourself than what others think about you.

maybe it all boils down to how much you value yourself. ah! self-worth!
i guess it also affects how you interact with others. ganun pala talaga.

as i've concluded from my experiences in the past 7 months. it's not really about the other person (in whatever situation).
it's always about you. yes, you.

if a person annoys you, yes, there might really be an annoying characteristic about that other person, but have you talked to him/her about it? that is, expressed your annoyance - in a civil manner, of course. or if the other person still persists to have that quality, what would you do about it? 'cause if you really value yourself or the other person, you just let them be and still love them.

another example, kung feeling mo expensive o mahal yung isang bagay katulad ng isang LV bag. yes, mahal siya. kasi hindi mo lang afford o hindi ka lang sanay. yun lang yun. sa Singapore kaya pinipilahan ang makapasok sa LV store. sa pinas, naghihirap na raw, eh bakit kay rami ang nagdadala ng LV (assuming orig lahat yun ah).

another example. sa isang task, hindi sa kung mahirap o madali eh, kung gagawin mo ba. bakit may ibang tao they can live the life they want, bakit ikaw hindi? lahat naman may problema sa pamilya eh. lahat naman walang pera sa simula. lahat naman maraming mga nay-sayers eh. lahat naman walang alam eh. nung una... that's why we're gonna learn. it's not the other way around. it's not that you know french that you're gonna learn french. it's because you wanna learn french that's why you're gonna learn french. it's about having the faith to understand that it's all just a matter of time.

can you share more examples?

totoo pala yng sinasabi sa tv na, "it's not about you; it's me."

i love manila. the orange lights and red lights. i miss taking pictures. manila is melancholic with its memories.

everyone deserves to be happy. no one holds that key but us. and that's what's tough about it. circumstances and other people may have had their prints on the key but really, it's still with us and that's what's terrifying.

it took me quite a while to answer. i wasn't sure what i was gonna face if i did say yes. i said, i'll try - which i will. let me get use to it first...
but maybe it's not about getting use to, you just jump right into it.

in any and every intimate relationship, uncertainty and vulnerability will always be there. kanina ko lang na-realize. it doesn't matter with whom. it'll happen again. it's cause you'd rather be with someone than without. and now, it's whether you're gonna be durable enough to deal with the challenge or not.

my god, i love the weather. it's perfect. it's cool.

--

i wish i'd see more of happy old couples with their eyes glistening to say, "another lifetime with you."

damn the week goes by so swiftly. i didn't have any guests at all. zero! damn.

life's supposed to be fun. what's the hurry all about?
someone answers, "maybe you're not, but you're dreams are waiting. do you wanna delay?"
"Sorry."
life is fun.

choose choose anne. act act.
