Quarterlife

I turned 25 last Monday. Most people consider 25 years a milestone, a place where you can celebrate for the journey you had and for being able to reach this far. 

For me, I thank God for the wonderful life He is giving me.

And of course, my family, for their unending love that nourishes me.

I originally wanted to write a well-thought-out blog about turning 25 but my delaying tendencies left me typing this at 12:19 AM. And while I promise to myself everyday that I will be sleeping earlier, I am still obviously failing. But not about blogging this time.

Maaah, so here it is. I just thought that I need to organize my thoughts and preserve my state of mind-my realizations about being 25.

Always always be grateful. Appreciate life and everything that you have. Be thankful and appreciative.

Always value the people who value you. Accept the fact that not everyone will like you... but family, friends and loved ones will be there for you. Value the people who care and don't be affected so much by people who don't. A few good friends will always be better than a lot of friends with no one who really and truly cares. Evaluate the negative comments but don't criticize yourself for being you.

Love yourself. Take care of your health. Safety first! Be health conscious. 

Always be kind no matter what. Always smile and be positive. When you can't help but be sad, admit  your emotions and then get over it.

Always set goals for yourself. And work hard to achieve those goals.

Know your self worth.

Don't bring yourself down. Practice true humility. There is nothing wrong in shining and excelling. Always do your best! Your underperformance will haunt you. Don't be shy to give your best every time.

Don't buy cheap stuff. Know how to value and spend money the right way.

Style is a must. Carry yourself well. Confidence is key!

Always talk to God.

Invest in yourself. There is nothing wrong in spending for yourself especially if it will make you happy or better. But of course, know your limits.

Always learn something new!

Voice out your opinions. Never settle for something just because you're afraid to speak out.

Whenever you feel like doing something, as long as it is not a mortal sin, do it... or the moment passes you by. But of course, practice caution!

Don't gossip. Don't judge. Always see the good in people. Remember, you don't exactly know what others are going through.

Be patient. But learn how to speak out.

Do things well.

Always reflect.

Always strive to be better!

Be beautiful inside and out!

And the list goes on and on................

I should really blog more often!

I really need to organize my thoughts and practice my writing skills.

Who knows, I might be needing it in the near future!

Wish me luck!

Love you 2015!!! :D

sudden gush of ideas

yes, this is the last day of the year 2010 and right now, looking at the right side of my blog, i realize how long i've been here... how long i've kept this site and made it as a friend.

2010 has been a very nice year for me and i thank God for all the good things and good people that and who have occurred into my life. 2011 is a great year as well and i am praying and hoping for the best and for God's will.

many things will happen and i am excited to open the gifts that God has in store for me.

since i have placed the title as such, i believe that i should begin the flow of these thoughts that are in my head.

i will blog more often.

this has always been the case. but of course, i don't always have the time to do it. or perhaps just the mere willingness to type in the things that i am thinking. first is maybe it's because i am sometimes afraid that people (if ever there are actually people still visiting this...) would judge me based on whatever i will write around here. let's admit it. or rather i admit it. i always feel the urge to blog when i feel something negative or to plainly say it, when i am sad... and since i always remember what my eee13 teacher told us before, "Why would you give other people the reason to mock you?" i don't blog. i simply let the feeling pass away because i know, sooner or later, it will fade away.

when i am happy, i am just too 'tamad' to blog that's why my entries are so incomplete. haha. lame excuse.

i've been planning to change the layout of this site but i guess i still don't have much time.

i'll get there.

i specially need to change my picture here.

you should not do things half-heartedly.
why?
because it's even more difficult to succeed.
and by pushing yourself to do things which you don't really like in the first place, you lose your self value. and that's not good.

--
confidence.

i have always wanted myself to be much girly. in the sense that i can wear girly clothes.
i envy girls who can walk around wearing cute dresses because i don't wear those types of clothes. i can wear them but i don't. what's the problem?

me. and my confidence level.

whoever said that even a little confidence goes a long way must be so right.

i have confidence. but i don't have that kind of confidence. yet.

let's see.

--
death.

death is sad. and seeing the people who are close to you... actual people in your life lose someone special is just heartbreaking.

may you all rest in peace.

God.

having the opportunity to serve God in your youth should be a very good advantage.

i am getting older and i am little by little, consuming the days of my youth.

i should serve God. now.

---------------------------------

today (December 31) is one of the busiest days in our home.
it's New Year's Eve and it's also the birthday of my Lola! :D

it has been a tradition especially before when our Lola was still living with us that we cook food and have a noisy and happy house. Parang reunion sa Mother's side. :)

so there, i just hope for everyone's safety,
nakakangawit yung pwesto ko habang nagbblog.

i am re-reading The Alchemist right now.

Good Years ahead! :)

Love,
Clarence

Vday.

this day made me realize how last year was so so so so so so extremely so different from this year. point well taken i guess. ^^,

hm, i watched Percy Jackson with Jeff today. i enjoyed it primarily because i enjoy Greek Mythology :D i always forget who the gods are but i love their story. hahahaah. wala lang.

i and my family had our picture taken at the studio today. it was nice. matagal na rin yung last fam pic namin. obvious na obvious yung differences sa itsura lalo na dun sa 2 kong kapatid na lalaki. jeff's starting to have small pimples already. hahaha. i love his skin dati kasi suuuper as in mega kinis but babalik din naman yun i guess :) as for me, i think i became prettier!! hurray! hahaah. fighting spirit <3 hm, all in all i think, Vday was fun. i spent it with family and it was nice.

hm. i'm really trying to drive away sad thoughts at this moment because i can not find it in my heart to feel sad. i am happy. really. hahaah but honestly, i'm quite tempted to ask on how his day went. masochist me, hello?. =p nah. things are so different now. and honestly, my fave pic of ours was taken on feb13. nah nah nah nah nah. tama na to. hahahaahah.

masaya ako ngayon. dahil sa magagandang bagay na meron sa buhay. ayown :D hehe :0

last night, i was thinking if i should open my heart. si God na bahala. but this time, i must take things in a better way. better than last time. though sa tingin ko naman, maganda naman pagkahandle ko last time ah? haha LOL.

i'm eating cake while typing this blog entry.
I JUST LOVE FOOD.
