How many times?
Come to think of it...many times, we are who we are. I mean the wiseman would say that we can be who we want to be but most of the time we really dont know who we want to be...we're just who we are..how many times have the smokers said they'd quit smoking?
But if we are lucky, and most of the time the lucky ones are really those who try really hard to get what they want, then we can make it happen. Then we remembered all our efforts and say that this is what I did to achieve this and that. But along that way a lot of efforts would seem to be wasted. So I guess with some things that we really want to get or achieve, we should put our heart on them, FULLY...cause little by little and as we grow older and wiser, we would realize that those who started out really high or at the top (especially those who bragged about their position) would soon be at the bottom...
When my friends and i were in highschool we were not the "coolest" among our batchmates when it comes to being siga (bullying) and fashion and gimmicks and style and all of those teenage craps (which at that time even us thought was cool) but we tried really hard, of course, "to belong" peer pressure and all...
But academically we were fine. We were very good, i think. My hypothesis at that time was if a class has intelligent and studious males on it, then it is a great bunch of students...females of course are expected to be good students (not just in studying but in behaving in class as well).
So now 9 years after high school, my friends and i can look back and say it was all worth it. To be very close and just be a solid group among our batch and not mingle much with those who we're "cool". To be very young and curious but still have that sense of responsibility and knowing the boundaries of our actions. To be who we really are and not pretend on being the best!
Where are those "cool" people now? What have they become? (sigh)

Itinerary
Today, Feb 10, 2008, Piyesta sa Brgy Bago, Gen. Tinio, Nueva Ecija...masarap ang sisig sa bahay ng barkada naming c Richard. Meron silang Eatery (kung saan karamihan ng sundalo ng Fort Magsaysay ang kumakain) kaya kahit hindi piyesta ay nagpupunta kami dun kapag nauuwi ng Papaya (Gen. Tinio's other name) dahil nga sa sarap ng sisig dun. Pero ang Sisig nila ay parang more of kilawin/kinilaw. I can compare it more sa sisig ng Ineng's BBQ kaysa sa Sisig Hooray. Basta sobrang sarap lalo na sa dami ng sibuyas na toppings. We've always thought of turning it into a bigger business coz for sure it will be a hit. So what more today kung saan piyesta nga sa kanila...marami pang ibang potahe ang matitikman namin sigurado!hehehe

Follow Your Heart
hmmm...its a peaceful saturday morning spending my time with my pamangkin, Leial Jasmine Icalla - Lim, who i fondly call JazJaz. Watching her Barney DVDs. And now my office bestfriend, Krystle Precious Wong, who i call Sis Krystle just sent a message thru YM while i was doing this first blog post. She's an expert blogger.
Enough of my people, i'll write about that on my succeeding blogs.
Just finished the book by Andrew Matthews, Follow Your Heart. I like it but I would say his other book Being Happy was more effective. Or probably because I also read the Filipino translation of it Ang Lugod, Ang Ligaya. Or probably because i needed a self-help book more during the times i read Being Happy. Hehe. Those were the days. No I wasn't suicidal but more of a WORRIER. You know. Negative on many things. Worrying so much about things i cant handle. Whining all the time. I've changed a lot I guess thats why i didnt appreciate FYH as much as BH. AM's books contain so many ideas and righteous talks that it will really help you appreciate lilfe more. Many of his examples on the book would make you choose on what type of person you want to be. The negative or the positive. I've changed and it feels... just great! Wonder what my next step would be...
