My Bestfriend Randy

Since this blog is all about my life and my friend are part of life, I have created a category for my friends. So that you guys, my loyal readers (as if there are) would be able to know them as well.

Let me start with my bestfriend Randy who is celebrating his birthday today. I've known him for 6 years now. He was my classmate when we were still in second year high school. He was the our topnatcher then and I was the second. And I never had the chance to dethrone him in his place. He was still my classmate in 3rd year but this time, I am 3rd in the class and he was the fifth. We were not classmates anymore in 4th year but we continued to dominate our respective classes, he was 3rd in their class and I was 2nd in our class. Hehe!

Don't get me wrong, I am not bragging. I just want to share our memories in High School. Furthermore, we are now studying at Ateneo and we are in the same course though he's one year ahead of me.

To my bestfriend, Happy Birthday! Can't wait for our plans after college. We are going to fulfill it together. I'm always here for you! Keep rockin'!

I Have Learned....

I have learned that when you plan to get even with someone, you're only letting that person to hurt you. For this will just make things more complicated. Let them hurt you and never fight back. What they did to you will eventually happen to them, much worse than what they have done.

I have learned that ignoring the facts do not change the facts. Learn to accept everything that is happening to our lives. Never questioned God why it is happening. Life goes on.

I have learned that the easiest way to grow as a person is to surround yourself with people smarter than you are. They can help you in every problems and challenges you encounter. They are smarter in a sense that they have more experiences than you. By those experiences, they can guide you in every deciesion you make.

I have learned that no one is perfect until you have fall in love with them. Yes, no one is perfect but as they say, practice makes perfect. So, why practice if no one is perfect? Haha! Kidding aside, there are really no perfect people. Only perfect moments with special people.

Lastly, I have learned that life is tough, but I can be tougher. Our journey of life is like a game. It's all about how you play it and how you take it. All about control, all about pain and who's gonna make it.

Life is so short. Enjoy every moment of it to the fullest.

I Wanna Go Away From Home

Life is so unfair. When I do bad, nobody forgets. When I do good, nobody remembers. I am sick and tired of my life. I wanna quit. I wanna die. I wanna give up.

Why is it so hard to please my mother? I have high grades and she doesn't give a damn. Since I was a child, I never felt even once that somehow I am part of the family. My mother never treated me special. I am always her least priority.

Since I was a child, I never had the chance to decide on my own and to get what I want. To hell with the saying, "Mother knows best". It's the other way around. I hate my mother as much as I hate myself.

I wanna go away from home where I can decide on my own and get what I want. I wanna be independent. I wanna have my own life. I wanna be happy and I wanna be free. I wanna see the other side of life.

I Used to Think...

While waiting for the right person to come,
play and have fun with the wrong one.
Knowing your out there to take more than fun
But for a vengance of a bitter heart.

Life goes on with out seeking for meaning
Enjoying intimate moments with empty silence.
Out there trading souls of pureness in bargain
Thinking there is nothing to lose nothing to gain.

So I hold to all those shallow moments
Of lingering shadows with out any body to share
Hoping to find joys in savoring for heartless encounters
Without knowing my dignity in plunder.
Not knowing i am the one whose being hurt.

Then I think again …
I stoped for a while and look back
I can’t see no joys that can hold me now
Only tears of lost hope and endless needing
For a haven of peace … for a music in my silence.

Now I am thinking is this all for my vengeance?
Of showing others i’m strong and i’m tough
Seeing them hurt like me before will be fun
Sad to say its only me who suffered all the scars.

I will play the game again this time
But not to lose my balance on the things I should have
Understanding that intimacy is never its part
Of taking one soul in one moment then be gone.
Fearing that maybe the one with whom I play with
Will be that person that might be the right one.

It's All About the Game!

As the song goes,

" It's all about the game, and how you play it
All about control, and if you can take it
All about your debt, and if you can pay it
It's all about pain, and who's gonna make it..."

Later this afternoon, we had our initial defense for our website proposal for a certain organization we have chosen. We were the 4th group to defend. It only took 5 minutes for us to defend our proposal. Surprisingly, the panelist gave us a grade of 98%. I don't know if it's an insult on our part. Haha!

Perhaps we were just surprised because with the kind of presentation we made doesn't deserve even a grade of 90%. Oh well, I thank myself for being a crammer. Doing the presentation an hour before the our defense. God is always good. To God be the Glory!

Why Commit? If You Have Your Friends!

It has been almost a year of me being single. Well, what can you expect from a guy who is very choosy? Haha! Honestly, I'm sick and tired of being committed. You also have to be there for that someone. You are obliged to check them out every now and then. Because if not, pagdududahan ka!

A friend of mine asked me kung bakit ayaw ko na makipag-commit? Hmm.. I just told her, "Kuntento na ako na kasama kayo." And I mean it.

Nakakalungkot nga lang dahil yung sinabihan ko ng mga katagang yan ay bihira ko na lang makasama. Hehe! Busy sa pag-duduty ang utaw na yun. Determinado maging nar-es.

Kakatapos lang ng Valentine's Day huh! Hindi ko man lang naramdaman ang importance nito. Unlike, last year! Haha!

Okay na rin. At least, I was able to save some money. Besides, I am busy doing my website proposal which I am going to defend on Saturday. It's my first time. Wish me luck.

Whew! Wala na akong maisip para pahabain tong post. Haha!

Belated Happy Valentine's Day! ^_^
