day 2: favorite quote/quotes

hi guys! so here we go to day 2! (yay that rhymed! haaha) today i will be sharing 2 of the quotes i live by. these are the quotes that would uplift me and get me through a hard day.

this quote comes from a song which i always get to hear when i was a kid. the song starts with a message prompting us not to feel discourage and not to let those days get the better of us. it talks about Jesus being a constant friend so we just have to be happy and free because just as he watches over a sparrow, for sure he watches and takes care of me. and that works the same lot for you too.

so what's the significance of the sparrow being in comparison to human beings in this song? well, i learned that sparrows come from a family of small birds. some of their species or genus (or whatever you call their subclass) had already been announced distinct. these little birds are wild and mostly feed on seeds and just virtually anything in small quantities. 

*thanks wikipedia for the help**

having said that, the song writer wants to point out that even insignificant little creatures such as the sparrows are being watched over and taken care of, how much more an important human being like you, me, and the rest of humanity. it is such an inspiration to hear and read about this quote especially when you are feeling unimportant and insignificant. or you may be facing a life crisis and you think that no one is helping you see a way out. this is really a message of hope to those in despair. so if you have time and or you know someone who needs some uplifting of the soul you can share this.

we are all a work in progress and if there is one thing that i have to double time my efforts with, it is my patience. yes i am very impatient. i get easily pissed when jp does not pick me up on time. i get angry when my food at the restaurant comes in a little too late. i blabber when a friend shows up 30 minutes past the said meeting time (in all fairness to me, i always show up on time haahaha). i get hot-headed when someone is a slow learner. and, this is the worst, i always question God if i requested for something and he is not quick to response. i know, i am such a horrible daughter.

a few months back i asked God of his plans for me. you see, i felt like the path i am heading goes nowhere. so, i am a registered nurse and i quit my office job to be able to volunteer at a hospital. apparently, after a few months, i feel like an idiot going back and forth the hospital without pay. i feel guilty that i could not bring 'pasalubong' when i go home. i could not even pay for my own meals or buy that forever21 dress i've been longing to have. i come to doubt whether this change in my career was actually right. so i asked God if what i am doing will account to anything in the future.

i was expecting a yes or a no answer but to my annoyance, God was really silent. and then on that morning when i opened my we heart it application in my phone, i saw that quote: two things define you, your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything. clearly God is still trying to help me develop my patience and hopefully when i will be able to see through this, then i will be ready to develop my attitude.

i know you guys also got quotes as your inspiration or happy thoughts so share them with me and the rest of the world so you can brighten someone else's day! Xx

 What good is intellect if it leaves us immobile and frozen in indecision? At some point, despite all the other options, you have to commit yourself to a path. -Being flexible is fine, it’s maybe the greatest talent you can have, but in order to define yourself, you need to pursue your passion. There will always be good reasons not to do something, or to do something else, the world is full of women more beautiful than your wife, you can never choose the best car, there’s always a cheaper airfare. What’s most important is that you choose and get on with your life.

it's a lucky day!

today is january 11, 2011-- 1/11/11

nothing so special happened today (or so i thought)! another rainy Bacolod to beat.went to class as usual.then Maiden Lapinig came near me(shyly) and gave me a yellow green rectangular package.i was dumb struck too but good thing i was able to reply a timid 'oi hala, thank you'.i dont wana open it yet but you know me.i cant contain this excitement of opening packages so there-- i was surprise to see a set of pearls, earrings and necklace.wow! then maiden added, 'parehos pala kayo ni kay'

today, im thankful for the many surprises life has to offer.im thankful that God let me live up to 1/11/11.

i already owe this blog a lot.after i get to have my laptop i promised to write as often as once a week so i can like hone my writing skills and i have a lot to look back when this year ends but seems like another promise is broken.sorry blog, i have been really preoccupied lately.

here i go..

this busy mode started when i woke up from all my easy-go-lucky-carefree-student-life and realize that a great responsibility has been laid out on me. yeah right, i remembered that i was to be the editor-in-chief for the Vox. the official paper of the school of nursing.so i gathered my staff and resolved to start the work done.

not long after the bustle of the vox, the senior class has to get organized and a not-so-fortunate thing happened.i was elected as the senior class president for real! so thats the busy mode all about.

class emblems, programs, letters, and announcements need to get posted and updated. so yeah, goodbye social life, hello busy me!

i know this aint easy so help me God!

trust me,i know how it feels.

i exactly know how it feels to cry in the shower so no one can hear you.

i know what it is like to wait for everyone to be asleep so you can fall apart, for everything to hurt so bad you just want it all to end.

i know exactly how it feels.

saudade

-is a Portuguese or a Galician word for a feeling of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which has been lost.it often carries a fatalist tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never really return.it was once described as 'the love that remains" or the "love that stays" after someone is gone.

today, i proved the law of attraction! (When you think of it as hard as you're almost believing..it does come true.)

i have always wanted to get out from the dormitory and live with my sister in her apartment.of course i followed the exact process and since both of my parents arent here in the philippines they have to make a phone call to the clinical coordinator.thats where my dilemma begins, in that part.

i have tried contacting both of my parents since last week to call but they seemed to be out of reach.so here's what i did, i asked my sister if she also wanted me transfer to her place as soon as possible and undoubtedly she said yes.i told her to think of mama and papa every single minute she can remember and im gonna do the same so that our energy will reach them and they will call.

sure enough, today when i arrived in my dorm room from class, my phone says 4 missed calls from mom and an sms msg as well. aint that cool?

so guys theres no harm in believing.if you want something real bad.think of it as a hard as you can.invite positive vibes and the whole universe will conspire to make it come true for you <3
