nakakatuwa makita ang mga mukha ng mga taong ating napapasaya dahil sa mga munting bagay na nagawa natin para sa kanila..

sense of fulfillment

mayroong nagtanong sa akin dati (noong ako ay nasa hayskul pa lamang at isang Student Volunteer sa Office of Social Concerns [OSC]) kung bakit ko inilalaan ang aking oras sa mga bagay na gayon.. noong hayskul ako, halos lahat ng libreng oras ko ay napupunta para sa kung ano mang tulong o trabaho na magagawa ko para sa OSC.. tinanong niya kung bakit hindi ako magpunta sa mga mall o manood ng sine kaysa sa pagtatrabaho na wala naman akong nakukuhang kapalit, bagkus napapagod pa ako. ang sagot ko lamang sa kanya ay, "sapagkat masaya ako sa ginagawa ko.."



minsan mayroon tayong mga ginagawang bagay dahil napipilitan lamang tayon gawin ang mga iyon.. nakakalungkot isipin na ang oras natin at pagod at napupunta lamang sa mga bagay na hindi naman talaga natin pinahahalagahan.. mayroon akong mga kilala na mayroong mga trabaho na kung saan hindi talaga sila nasisiyahan.. ngunit maitatanong mo, "bakit sila nagtitiis sa mga bagay na ito?" bakit? dahil sa pera. dahil sa praktikalidad.



hindi ko masisisi kung ginagawa nila ang mga bagay na iyon para sa pera.. talaga namang kailangan ng tao ng pera para mabuhay, pero hindi lamang pera ang kailangan ng tao.



para sa akin, hindi ang pera ang batayan ng yaman ng tao. kahit na wala siyang pera, basta't nabubuhay siya ng marangal, siya na ang pinakamayamang tao para sa akin.



buo ang paghanga ko sa mga taong kaya isakripisyo ang lahat para sa isang buhay na nakalaan para sa serbisyo sa kapwa...

on happy meals, big brothers, and books..

ibinili ko si matt ng mga happy meal ng mcdo.. grabe, ang kyut nila! dalawa na ang naibili ko para sa kanya.. yung Snoopy na nakasakay sa airplane at taxi.. kaninang umaga ikinabit ko yung mga sticker.. hehe.. kahapon pagbili ko ng happy meal, sabi nung babae na nagbibigay ng laruan, "miss, siguro paborito niyo si Snoopy 'no?" :)



nagpaka-kuya si james sa akin noong isang linggo.. grabe, ang sweet niya.. noong setyembre 10, nanood kami ng premier ng 13 Going On 30.. dahil super fan ako ni Jennifer Garner, gusto ko talagang panoorin iyon.. kaya't kinulit ko ang aking kuya na gusto ko manood no'n. pinagbigyan naman niya ang aking kahilingan at dinala ako sa premier ng Jam 88.3 sa SM Megamall Cinema 10.. awww.. ang sweet ng kuya ko ano? biruin mo, pinanood niya iyon maski na feeling ko ayaw niya talaga panoorin iyon dahil 'ika nga niya, "Girly-girly yung movie", at talagang hindi iyon ang kanyang mga gustong sine na panoorin..



bumili ako ng dalawang aklat kahapon.. yehey! nadagdagan nanaman ang aking koleksiyon ng mga aklat nina Matute! :) ang mga binili ko ay: May Isang Panahon, at Mga Kislap ng Panulat.. haaaay.. talagang paboritong manunulat ko si Genoveva Edroza-Matute.. isa siya sa mga dahilan kung bakit gusto ko maging isang guro.. ang isa sa mga pinaka-gusto kong isinulat niya ay ang Kuwento ni Mabuti.. :)

You're an ISFJ



ISFJ



Ok. You are sympathetic, loyal, considerate, and conscientious. You will go to any amount of trouble, when it makes sense to you, to help those in need. (uh-huh.. very true) You are responsible and enjoy being needed (true). You are down-to-earth and realistic (realistic? hmmm..) and like others who are quiet and unassuming. You absorb and enjoy using a large number of facts (very true again! haha nerd..).



You like situations where the rules are well defined and where traditions are to be upheld (oo nga..). You focus on providing practical help and services for others and for the organizations you serve. You have a strong work ethic.



You can be painstakingly accurate and systematic in handling tasks...you're conservative with traditional values...quiet and modest...tactful and supportive of friends and family...



You are often self-effacing in getting the job done, and are willing to make necessary sacrifices, especially for your family. You are at your best quietly providing assistance and making sure things are in order.



You have a few close friends, don't like disharmony, and try to keep cooperation at all costs...you'll stay close friends with that tight circle for a LONG time...worry a lot...



You need to have things organized in a way you think works.. you cannot work when things are out of order...when things are in disarray, you have to reorganize them immediately....you get involved with leisure ONLY after all the work is done... (ito medyo alanganin ako eh.. hehe)



You have a tendency to put off relaxing because there's too much work to be done...you enjoy time with your family...you fall in love hard when you fall. You place a high value on marriage and family...you seek out a partner and feel unfulfilled without one. you most likely are a good student because you diligently follow through in your work to please your teachers.....you learn best by DOING...



You tend not to be the center of attention...often appear serious...others like trying to get a laugh or a smile out of you...you get angry or bitter when scorned...but you keep it inside...



Possible blindspots: because you are SOOOO in the present, you have a hard time seeing possibilities or consequences of your actions...can become mired in the daily grind...don't forget to express your bottled-up feelings...you can be taken advantage of....could be pessimistic about the future because it's unknown and you rely on past experiences.....you want to plan too much.

isang sorpresa

gumana na naman ang aking pagiging malikhain at nakaisip ako ng isang napakagandang sorpresa.. (salamat nga pala kay jan at nagkaintindihan ang mga utak natin).. isa itong sorpresa kaya't hindi ko muna sasabihin.. ito ay para sa dalawang tao na naging espesyal sa buhay ko at pati narin sa iba ko pang mga kaibigan (sana).. :)

on shifting and jaywalking...

last saturday, my mom dropped me off at the Irwin Theater for our Freshman Academic Orientation.. on our way there, she said a lot of things about a myriad topics.. at one point her statement went like this, "Kapag mag-shift ka.. (pause)" then my thoughts went wild.. how'd she know about this? i was only thinking of this.. nobody else knew aside from my blockmates.. i had my hopes up, because she sounded so "cheerful".. but then she finished her statement, "..ng gears, kailangan hindi sa pag-turn." ahhhhhhhhh! she was talking about shifting gears!! she was giving a lecture on driving!

(if you're wondering, sa Panitikan po... gets?)

last monday, i jaywalked! hehe.. good thing there was no authority to "punish" me or something.. hehe.. that was so embarrassing.. i totally fogot what jaywalking meant.. :p

i have a new pair of shoes! wahaha.. as if you care, right? hehe.. taray! walalang.. just wanted to say it.. :) sa wakas napalitan na ang aking naghihingalo na rubber shoes.. that old one ay noong second year high school pa ako 'no! at talagang nakanganga na.. :-O it's "beyond repair"..

eto lang ang masasabi ko sa nangyari sa akin noong friday:
everything happens for a purpose,
we may not see the reason for it all now,
but trust in the Lord,
that everything is for the best...

at mayroon ngang rason kung bakit iyon nangyari.. haay, talagang mahiwaga ang ating buhay..

ishpeyshal meynshon:

"it's nice to share your dreams with someone that cares for you because you know that somewhere there's a person who's hoping with you. thanks. Ü"

you know who you are... :)

and i really appreciate my sharing of that dream of mine with you.. thanks.

college made me sweeter...

simula nang tumuntong ako sa kolehiyo, napakarami nang nakapagsabing ako raw ay "sweet" na tao.. hindi naman ako nasasabihan ng ganoon noong ako ay nasa hayskul, kaya't napaisip ako..



when i look at it, there has really been a change in my behavior and actions.. from what i've introspected, i've seen that i have been more thoughtful of others.. it has also become my habit now to hug or to hold a friend's hand even if that person and i aren't that close yet..



talaga nga bang "college has made me sweeter"? hmm.. ito ang isang teorya: dahil sa mga hirap at pressure na dulot ng kolehiyo, naisip ko na natural lamang na naghanap ako ng mga karamay sa paghihirap na ito.. nabasa ko sa isang e-mail na iyong mga taong naroroon lamang parati para sa ibang tao ay sila mismo ang nangangailangan ng suporta.. hindi kaya ganoon ang kalagayan ko?



i became a "sweet person" because i in turn needed care and affection? makes sense, doesn't it?



please give me your thoughts.. i need them..

Prayer of Rupert Mayer

Lord, what you will let it be so.

Where You will, there we will go.

What is Your will? Help us to know.

Lord, when You will, the time is

right. In You there's joy in strife.

For Your will I'll give my life.



To ease your burden brings no pain.

To forego all for You is gain, as long

as I in You remain.



Because You will it it is best.

Because You will it we are blest

Till in Your hands, our hearts find

rest, our hearts find rest. Till in

Your hands our hearts find rest.



-Blessed Rupert Mayer, SJ
