Hair today...Gone tomorrow...

I've had long hair for as long as I can remember. One-length, layered, with full bangs, curly, straight...name it, I've had it. I decided to keep it below my shoulder until one day, my whole being screamed for CHANGE. Yes, one moment i just realized I'm tired of my wash and wear hairdo and I wanted something more updated. And so I did.

For the next week or so, I sported a short cropped hair that's completely not so "me". I missed my long hair but I must admit that this new haircut gave me a boost in confidence. As a matter of fact, I am now thinking of keeping it this way for a longer time. I don't like it or hate it, I can only say that its different. But i'll practice the art of faking it until you make it. I will just own it until I grow it...

2012? the end of Humanity?

December 21 2012,a significant date to be noted if you're a believer of Nostradamus or not because he predicted that the world will end that year...Mayan Civilization also predicted this day,and others to.. so why? Are we going to wait till that day to find out if it's true or should change for the betterment of mankind? In the end of Nostradramus picture,the circle of life is gone,and the page in the book is empty.

A question that made me think, is the empty book signifying that the future beyond it is not predicted? Or he leaves us to either fight for our race or destroy it as we all do.. I just want to say we hold our destiny,it is for us to know our consequences in the future. Can we just do the right and easy way than continue the wrong and stupid way?

What can we do? help Mother earth to do it's normal function.
-Just throw your garbage in the right place,don't put them everywhere else that's not called a trash can.
-a little history from the dino era.. when the big rock that hit earth and made the dinos extinct,the world was covered with a thick cloud of CO2,thru the powers of earth and it's natural process.Earth made it into rain and fell on the earth and was placed to our soil. Thru erosion and other things,the C02 particles was converted to fossil deposits or what we call FOSSIL FUELS.. the ones we are using now from the industrial revolution. We are just returning the C02 back to the clouds.. so alternative fuels? anyone?
-Can we just be like Sao Paulo? the cleanest city on earth.
-Change your self for the better.. Don't be an ass..
-Can Muslim extremist and West get along?
-If we all Die,there is no more war,conflicts and other bad things.. are we going to wait for this?
-Prayer helps,putting it to action is what makes it true.Don't be just a dreamer.
-Don't depend on the politicians,believe in yourself that you can be a better person that you are today.
-don't take advantage of the things that will make the society worst even though you think you are just one,but in other places they might think of your ways.

there are other ways to make the world a better place, I'm not perfect but I'm trying to be a better person whose worthy to live in this Earth. I don't know..If everyone will just throw their wrappers of candy everyday.. we are doomed.. this blog is not to entertain the readers.. But to encourage us to be better humans for the sake of our existence.

Something to Ponder

" Failure doesn't mean you are a failure, its just that you haven't succeeded yet."

But when you finally succeed, what comes next? Does it mean a perfect life free from misery, failure and problems which are inevitable as night and day? Does being successful separates us from the cruelty that often comes hand in hand with failure and losing? I sometimes wish we'll all be able to make it. But don't you think its too boring? In the real world, there's this bunch who the society dubbed as successful. And on the other half of the earth, we losers reign supreme. And not for the reason that we haven't achieved any, or we're not making it big in the industry of superficial beings. Its just that neither one of us know what this success thing is all about.

I remember a conversation with a friend during a walk down the streets of Makati one cloudy afternoon in July. We were looking past expensive cars parked along the sidewalks, people sipping a cup of coffee dressed in seemingly designer clothes. I came upon these questions. How do we define success? How can one say that he or she is successful? Is it exactly how the media and the society created it to be? My friend and I are both pissed off by the idea that success means having a luxurious looking car, a house that resembles the white house or our very own Malacanang palace, numerous popular friends who need to socialize every now and then to prove their self-worth...what else? I am very sure that by now, you already have your share of the picture about this so called "successful people"... But how about us? How about the majority of us who pitty ourselves because we believe those things. For the fortunates, success probably mean a once in a lifetime life changing event. But for the unfortunates, it is an everyday experience... an everyday challenge to do better. Success is being able to achieve something you aspire, be it big or small. Success is finding happiness by knowing you have given your best shot, no matter you how many times you almost failed. Success is waking up evryday with a goal in mind and sleeping at night knowing you are one step closer to that goal. It is indeed a state of mind. Its in little things we do that molds us. Its an experience that encourage us to not stop when we reach the finish line, but to continue to work harder even after the race,because life after all, is a race where you have to keep on running and winning and losing and starting all over again from scratch. Do I envy those people who are "successful" because they have everything? Not at all...anyway, as the saying goes: He who has the most toys... still dies.

Thinking out Loud.

Lately, I have been feeling the following:

1.) lost
2.) undecided
3.) restless
4.) insignificant
5.) out of place

This year marked an important event in my life because it has been my transition from being a dependent junkie to complete adulthood. Finally, I earned a degree in college amidst the obstacles I have managed to surpass with flying colors. I remember having daydreams about what I'll be once I step out of college, the possibilities were endless. But here I am, trapped in a world that's completely different from mine. Yesterday, I was having high hopes about my future, today, I'm not so sure. This morning, I woke up with the realization that 2009 isn't my time to shine. Its my time to applaud and watch other people who are having a great year. But its not having bitterness over life, thus, accepting that my star would shine brightest in the years to come. I guess its pretty weird but normal to feel like this when the year is about to end. A part of me is still hoping that things will take a U-turn and head on a better road for me. But for the meantime, I don't mind taking the backseat like I used to, and cheer for loved ones who are successfully making their way to the top. And though I am not playing a big part in this stage play called life for now, I will be the best that I can be in the role that l have. Here's a few part of a poem I chanced upon when I was in high school. It has been my constant motivation since then.

"Hold on to your dream, not too tightly for it might break... Not too loosely for it might slip away. Just hold on to your dream, and it will find you."

Here's hoping for great opportunities come 2010 with my fingers crossed and with my dreams surrendered to a power greater than mine. A power that can only be God's. I know he's just sitting there somewhere near the front row, being the audience he has always been. If all the world is a stage and God is the director who's constantly checking up on our performances...then I better start proving myself worthy of that center stage. I'll keep you posted ;)

ONDOY-act of God,Massive floods in the metro-act of Man

Recent events were really bad like Ondoy,the worst rain he shed upon us is very tragic. The ever majestic typhoon is an act of God because it's the process of our mother earth. But such greed and irresponsibility is an act of man. I don't mean to point the blame on people.
1.) Global warming-act of man,the earth is just doing its job ever since it started,we the human race are irresponsible as always.
2.) Floods-act of man,irresponsible disposing of garbage,greed in building new subdivisions in the mountains, DENR such an ass for not catching up the illegal loggers.
3.) Stupidity of man-act of man,informal settlers who don't care and their only reasons are we have no money. you have a life in the province yet you still think Manila is kewl..
4.) Faggot Politicians-act of man,you vote for them,then they steal money from you,and hide in such big mansions away from danger while millions of people are dying.
5.) Typhoon Ondoy-act of God,you blame this incident but you don't see the other factors that contributed to this event.We made it worst because of the four things we did.

So do we still blame Ondoy?
