My Halloween

Spending my Halloween in Dumaguete with all my relatives and cousins is something fun and memorable. It's a tradition as every year, my family and I pack our bags, experience a road trip for what seems like 5 hours, and meet everyone whom we've always missed.


So can I just say...


Happy Halloween? Happy Halloween. :)

Perfect One

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.” ― Bob Marley http://www.michaelarnoldart.com/BobMarley.jpg

Reflection

Earlier, I went to hear mass at the chapel of Greenhills. The Gospel was about God’s Greatest Commandments, and they are: 1. Love God with all your heart, your soul, your mind; and 2. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. In his homily, the priest told us that every single day, upon waking up, even before we check our messages on our mobile phones or get up to take a shower, we should ask these three questions: 1. Who am I? 2. What should I do? 3. What am I hoping for? This is my personal thoughts: It is when we reflect on these three questions, when we go deeper into our own selves, when we see the true meaning of our lives, that we truly know God. And when we know Him, we are more certain that we love Him. We are living our lives for the His greater glory.  -->

Motivation Principles

CTTO. My dad sent the rest of the family members a screenshot of some motivational articles, including this. The message was very timely as I, myself, have been struggling to achieve my goal for the past few months. For my own clarity, I'll just reiterate the five important points shared in this article to excel in one's chosen field/area: 10,000 (in simpler terms, a lot of) hours of practice, because it goes without saying that practice makes perfect Burning passion, which gives the push and the drive Grit, perseverance, motivation. Remember also Angela Duckworth's Ted talk on Grit: The power of passion and perseverance. Optimism, a positive outlook. "You can do it!" Having a mentor, because it takes a village to raise a child  Also, I'd like to add another point: Prayer. This will give one an extra push and a clarity of mind.
