Smile: a facial expression characterized by an upward curving of the corners of the mouth and indicating pleasure, amusement, or derision. In layman’s term, it’s a facial expression that shows happiness. Smiling also makes a person more beautiful.

As I do my routine everyday, waking up, eating my breakfast, take a bath.. blahblah, I see a lot of people smile. I read once on a magazine that it’s great to start your day with a smile. Before thinking of the load ahead, it’s nice to just smile as it motivates the system to the tasks. I love it when I see my mum and dad smile. I love it more when I see all my love ones smile, I love it most when I see him smile, it simply makes my heart melt. Ehh I say enough with the cheesy part ey. There are some moments in our lives that we could just say that its so hard to put on smiles on our faces. I, for one, had that experience especially when I had a bad day. You know what I do when that happens? I think of good or nice things like remembering Christmas gatherings with my family. Maybe you should try that, just think of nice things then show me a smile..:)

here's a speech i wrote for my cousin. im not quite sure if its really a speech.. so read on fellow bloggers and decide for yourselves..:D

Live your life to the fullest, a cliché that I hear very often. But how do we do it? That’s the question that I ask to myself. There are a lot of problems in my life that I just find it hard to just live my life that way. For instance, meeting deadlines of school projects and at the same time, budgeting my allowance. Just thinking of the academic problems alone is stressful already. When I’m outside the school, another set of problems meet me. It’s like everywhere I go, problems find me. The worst is I was handling my problems in a negative way and somehow, those problems let me live my life bitterly. But my way of thinking changed when I heard about my cousin’s friend who’s niece died of leukemia at only 8 years old. It was devastating thinking that the girl was still so young to die. Who knows that child must have her dreams and she wanted to fulfill them. Her death gave me a bit of a dose of reality; that we don’t have control of our lives and so we should live it, I should live it to the fullest. Problems do come, but they also go. They are one of the spices that make life more meaningful and wonderful. So I say, let’s face our problems with optimism so that we may see the beauty of life and we can live it with happiness and fullness.

Just this morning, I saw something which totally flared up my mood (so much for begin your day with a smile). Anyhow, I left a comment on the picture and after a few hours, a person responded quite harshly. I didn’t know what that person’s problem is and I was bit surprised of what she said, I think that lass is being defensive. Few minutes later, I responded her comment with calmness and with a smile. Then again, she returned with a very, and I mean very sarcastic feedback. Despite of her nasty mouth, I kept my cool. I shouldn’t have responded to her comment, it worsened the matter. It’s sad though that there are people that don’t think what they say. I was a bit offended but I won’t let that silly thing ruin my week. I remember when my father said that if people will do bad things to you, you just let them be, never ever stoop down to their level. So I just have to let it go then, I just have to shake it off. :)

I don’t know how to begin this blog but here it goes. For the past few weeks, I have been trying to divert my attention just for me not to think of him too much. Things like hitting the gym, playing sports, reading a lot of books (and I mean a lot), listening to songs (corny actually) and even tried to find a sideline job (disk jockey). Im starting to feel that this blog is so cheesy. Right now, I really hate the word “busy”. Why? Because that’s the word he always use as his alibi but I cant do anything about it. Hey, the guy’s busy so just let it be. Am I really that impatient? Or just stupid? Is it me or him? This really makes me sad. Hindi ko na talaga alam kung makakaya ko pa, di bale nalang kaya. Hahai mahal kita pero ramdam ko na parang ginagago mo ako..





di bale
-Gary Valenciano

Minsan sabi niya sa akin
Sandali na lang
Akala ko naman ay sigurado na ako
Handa kong tanggapin ang kanyang oo
Bigla na lang nagbago ang isip niya
Hindi ko akalain na gano'n pala siya
Pinaasa niya lang ako
Bitin na bitin ako
Oooh woh

Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang

Ngayon araw-araw lumilipas ang panahon
Kalimutan ko siya'y malayo sa isip ko
Di kaya, pinaikot niya lang ako
Bigla na naman nagbago ang isip niya
Pagkakataon ko na mapasagot ko siya
Pag ang sinabi ko'y di mabili
Baka mapahiya muli...

Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang

Bakit ka naman ganyan
Ano pa ba kayang paraan
Pero kung kailangan mo naman ako
Agad akong tumatakbo
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang

Bitin na bitin ako
oh...oh...oh

Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang

Hindi ko na alam kung makakaya ko pa
Di bale na lang kaya
Ako pa ba kaya ang nasa puso niya
Di bale na lang kaya
Ngunit mahal ko siya
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang
Di bale na lang

Di bale na lang...

From what I have learned in my communication course, interpersonal communication means the exchange of thoughts between two persons or more. We simply call this action as a talk or chat and we do this every single day. Heck, our world would be pretty much in disaster or in chaos if we don’t do verbal language. My point here is, if we talk everyday of our lives, then why are there still people full of hate or grudge. You know the feeling where you wanted to just burst and let it all out? That question lingered in my mind until I took up my course. Well, the communication process consists of 5 steps namely the sender, message, channel, receiver and the feedback or the response.
Often we just say what we want to say and never let the other side talk. Maybe that’s one of the factors why bickering happens that leads to anger and eventually, war. Its quite ironic that even I, as a communication graduate, sometimes encounter misunderstandings from my siblings or friends. So its important then to listen so that both parties can reach mutual understanding. Think about it.

Philippines- SuperFerry 9, owned by Aboitiz Transport System, sank early Sunday on September 6, 2009 in Zamboanga Peninsula leaving 9 passengers dead.

If I have not mistaken, it was just a year ago when a ship from Sulpicio lines (MV something also sank). Seeing families grieve on tv knowing that one that one of their loved ones is dead is very heart-breaking. This is really sad, I must say. A rumor has spread that overload was the reason behind the tragic accident though it was still not proven to be true. From this disaster, I realized that one must live each day as if it’s his/her last. Taking into account that the weather that time, according to weather reports is fine but still, this catastrophe still happened. We could never really tell if today would be our last or not.

My deepest sympathy to all those who lost one of their family members and may the souls rest in peace.

often we think of things that are not really here in this planet or you just think of it coz its appealing to our imagination. For instance, you wish that a certain person is right beside you right now but in reality, the person is in other place. and that my friend is what you call, wishful thinking..

let's admit that sometimes we dwell into this habit. i think its ok but one must bear in mind that it is different from reality and if you cling so much to it, you will definitely be disappointed. though its quite fun and relaxing,just dont get addicted to it. =)
