The Things I Realized About Life

As I grow older, my perspective in life has changed a lot. I tried to be fair and mutual when things has not the way I wanted to be at all times. I guess, it is already a sign of maturity in me. Sometimes life is so hard to understand when you see it in a different angle, yet, that's the way it has to be. It is not exactly the perfection in life that matters, because nobody's perfect but the appreciation that counts.
Life isn't fair no matter how tragic the surrounding could be, still it's good. No one know's you better than your family. As always, things are not always as complicated as you make them out to be, there is always and so much to be thankful for.
Herewith, are the list of the "Things I Realized About Life" which I copied from Definitely Filipino. As I go down all the way from the list, my realizations proved me right that I need to be fair and just.

1. Reality changes. It depends on what perspective you take.
2. No one’s really objective, your experience and the people that surrounds you affect your judgment about things. People see things the way they want to see it.
3. First impression is important. It will always comes into your way. How one perceives you and how you perceive others will determine the relationship that you will have with them.
4. It is difficult to think rationally when you are emotionally involved.
5. Student life and work life are two different things. The moment you left college and started working, everything changes. College buddies will be replaced by officemates; making ends meet with your income is another thing. Your parents will be your last resort when you need money.
6. It is the way you carry yourself in all circumstances that matters. No matter what the situation is and how clueless you are in the situation that you got yourself into.
7. Know yourself. People will always be judgmental. At the end of the day, you are the only person who will answer for yourself.
8. When something screwed up, we tend to look for others to be blamed. Guess what? It’s human nature. Sometimes it is difficult for us to accept we are at fault.
9. There will always be good days that all you wanted to do all day is to laugh. Nothing can ruin your good mood. And there will always be days that even the simple things annoy the hell out of you.
10. Don’t overanalyze things. Just accept it the way it is.
11. No matter how good your intentions are, people will have good and bad interpretation of what you have done.
12. Don’t generalize. You might be surprised about the thing called “individual differences”.
13. Dream big. You’ll never know how important it is until it happened.
14. History repeats itself.
15. Power changes everything. People will do everything just for power.
16. It is the way you deliver your message that changes everything.
17. You’ve got to know a person first before you can judge his character.
18. What you sow, you reap.
19. Everything happens for a reason.
20. There is always hope. Even if the situation couldn’t get any worse.
21. Don’t dwell on your problem too much. Sometimes fate has its own way of solving it.
22. Destiny comes into the way, but it also needs your consent before it happens.
23. Age is a number when you started working.
24. When you do not conform with other people’s opinions, they would presume that you are weird or a deviant.
25. It’s not good to compare yourself with others but sometimes it will push us to do better, strive harder and be competitive.
26. When you were a fresh graduate, all you wanted was to have an experience and as you grow older, you realized that money plays a vital role in one’s job.
27. There are always two sides of the coin.
28. Hurt,betrayal and disappointment are part of life.
29. You can forgive, but it is hard to forget.
30. Don’t argue with your boss. After all, no one wins an argument with the boss.
31. Sometimes it is hard to be happy for someone else’s success. It only highlights your weaknesses.
32. Positivism and realism are two different things.
33.Don’t take everything personally. Sometimes, people are just too caught up with their own problems to be aware of their actions.

Friday Night - Out

It has been a couple of months that I haven't been out of my comfort zone and getting wild for a while. Thanks to my Polish friend Paulina ( & a fellow couch surfer) who invited me to be included in her celebrations after she successfully defense her dissertations.
My hesitations had prevented me at first to say my yes because of the freezing cold weather outside. I guess, that's where I got a bad cold. However, confining myself in the four corners of my room would killin me more, so despite of the chilling weather I need to stretch out of my legs and jive with the people whom I only meet occasionally.
The good thing about it you tend to meet new friends, though friendship intimacy would not be that close enough to go, one day or another you will still meet them on the way 'coz we are only living but in a small world.

November's Fall Colors

I haven't updated much lately because of my busyness, now that I have enough time to do so, let me write something here about Autumn/Fall experience. Just to continue of what I have had posted lately, pictures would do more of the talking rather than doing the blah - blah. Since, I got hold of a cheaper camera, taking snapshots and different subjects has been a good habit of mine and I would say its addictive.
The sad thing is I don't have a DSLR camera yet, and I don't even know when I could get the chance of getting one, hope it would be sooner than later. I just wish somebody out there would serve as santa claus & unselfishly give me a DSLR, sounds like I'm dreaming with my eyes open, I knew that it wouldn't happen.
Well, November provides splashes of colors that is what we called fall foliage. The temperature & the circle of time has changed, the sun completely refused to show. Fogs and moist envelopes the surrounding to keep the daylight shorter.
As we know, fall or autumn is the time for harvesting the crops sown in spring and ripened in summer. Trees loose their leaves and is often called Fall in USA because leaves fall from trees.
I appreciated so much of the changes of the autumn hues, and seeing its differenty colors makes it even more beautiful than spring so to speak. Now, I have completed my four seasons experience and this winter would be my second time.
