Unideal

                        It's been months since I deactivated my account from a monstrous social media website, well you know it right. It's facebook. I just simply can't stand the fake news that I'm seeing. One night a friend of mine borrowed money for an emergency and saw him the next day on a vacation. What an instagramable view from emergency wards. I also witness how a friend of mine cried so hard but still manage to post a picture of her of how great a life she had. Or maybe she really has a great one?

                        Traffic jams
                        Long wait at terminals
                        An endless gossip of neighbors
                        Noisy dog during a virtual meeting
                        Strangled internet.             
    
                        The daily struggle and fullness of anything in life.
                        The urgency of something and its absence 
                        The things we've missed from something we overlooked

                        What if the things that happened to us, really happen for us.

      Truthfully, I also am just a person, I do silly decisions at times. In the comment above I rationalize an excuse to myself. For months I'm in a loop of deactivating, reactivating, and reconnecting. But one thing. I love having connections with my friends and family. But the fact that social media designing me to be a person who seeks outward validation and more often to compare myself, I freaking hatin it. Oh btw. I just did deactivated my account. Again.

Sa Babaeng Itinakda ng Diyos Para sa Akin

Sa babeng aking mamahalin,                           Kasalukuyan kong inihahanda at ipinagbubuti aking sarili. Kaya naman huwag kang magalala kung marunong ba akong maglaba o magkula ng damit.Kailanman ay hindi ko pagsasamain ang dekolor at ang mga puti. Magaling din akong magsukat ng sinaing o magsangag ng hindi naubos na kanin. Kung nais mo naman ng masarsang ulam, kaya kitang ipaghain ng adobo basta't habaan mo lamang ang iyong pasensya dahil sa youtube lamang ako natuto.                         Hindi ko alam kung kailan ka darating o makikilala subalit kung ito nga'y plano Niya, alam kong ito'y sa tamang oras at panahon. Sana lamang rin ay tama ang outfit ko at hindi ako mukhang dugyutin sa oras na iyon. Wala naman akong inaasahang lugar. Hindi ka rin naman siguro galing sa ibang planeta kaya't sa mundong ibabaw parin tayo ...

Doing the Work but Not Getting Payed or Any Credit

I am a private school teacher of a quite small institution. And you maybe  guessing it right away, we're quite understaff. And because we lack people to work on a project, as a teacher we are asked to lend some help for some.  As an ICT Teacher, I've been marked as part of called Research and Development Team, but basically it's just a team for marketing and promoting the school. Letting the school be known to others. It's quite a lot of task because the first projects are to create some brochures templates, tarpaulins, video plus a deadline not a strict one but of course put some pressure on the back.   And then questions came to my mind. Will I still do this work if I am not getting paid or won't get any credit from my works? Why does it feels like it is embarrassing to accept this job? Like "Pinapagod mo lamang sarili mo hindi ka naman bayad dyan. G na G ka pa." Why do I think that other people would look at me like, "Why are you so cra...

This is Where Our Journey Begins

                 Months ago, I've decided  to write my own book. Then life came. It wasn't kind. There are so much resistance contrast to that dream. I wasn't good at English, my grammar sucks, words were redundant, or you might even encounter wrong spellings of words from my blog posts. (I would love if you'd correct me.) But damn it, I am commited. This might take some time, this might take a lot of work but the weight of my dreams is greater than the hardships I might encounter. It's been decided, I will go through an endless refinement and continous improvement. I will overcome my untrue limitations.                   In order to write this dream book of mine, I had to take it step by step, little by little.                  Back then, I used to journal my memorable days on a worned out pocket notebook that I've bought on a s...
