Courage

July 21, 2012-9:38pm


Today, we had a Deepening Talk with Bro. Jing Mendoza. He's one of the speakers that I admire most because of how he walked his talks. He was with our community for almost 28 years already-imagine, TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS! That's.wow.

Anyway, one of the topics that totally left a mark on me was when he talked about courage. I just realized that there are a lot of ways to show your courage. Could it be when you're afraid but you have to do it or when you're nervous. But there's this courage that he stressed out-the courage to resist temptations. Though he didn't really say it in these exact words, but that's how I interpret it.

In this generation, temptations are everywhere. Many from my generation already have kids. Some are into vices. But if you have that courage to stay on the greater good, the you'll be able to say no to these things-to these temptations. It's just courage.

Here's some of my notes about courage:

"The courage to say no to your anger and emotions." "It takes courage to be patient, to forgive." "It requires the power which created the universe to give your all-Courage."


Be courageous...

Ukay-Ukay 101

July 15, 2012-4:47pm


Yesterday, me and my sister went to Uyanguren. At 8:00 in the evening. I am soo ultra mega super duper excited that time because I so happy to finally-FINALLY have my own ukay. But having my own ukay is no joke. Dapat mag warm-up ka kasi grabe and pagdadaanan mong hukay-hukay bago mo makita ang isang magandang damit. They should not call it ukay-ukay, dapat hukay-hukay.


Alam mo yung feeling na pagod ka na pero gusto mo pang maghanap kasi marami kang nakitang magandang damit. It's really amazing as to how many you will buy from your 100 pesos bill. Though hindi talaga 100 pesos ang nagasto ko. Bumili kasi ako ng bag which costs me a hundred and thirty pesos. Tapos maganda pa talaga ang design. Parang 300 pesos bag siya sa mall.


But you have to take in consideration na MADUMI ang ukay. Kailangan mong ibabad sa mainit na tubig o kahit man lang sa tubig na mai sabon para malinis sya. Tapos ipa-arawan mo para sure-sure patay ang germs na nasa damit/bag/shoes.


So here are the pictures of the clothes na nabili ko. I didn't have enough time to take a pic of the bag kasi it's now in the labhanan.


PS: Sinuot ko sya kahit na alam ko na madumi kasi na SUPER EXCITE ako, pero nag wash naman din ako ng over-over pagkatapos. :))

The cheaper, the better...

Reminiscing grade school

July 12, 2012-9:56pm


Today, I went to the classroom of our EPSC President, but unfortunately, he wasn't there. But my best friend 4 years ago, when we were fifth and sixth graders, called me and wanted to talk to me. I was kind of surprised because she noticed me. I hesitated because I thought I might do something important in our classroom. But actually, a part of me wanted. She gestured that I will go to her, I hesitated but I still went. When I slid to her side, I embraced her arm. I was so surprised that I missed her a lot.

We talked about the things that we used to do together. Her dogs, which were kind of a part of our friendship. I didn't want to finish the lunch time. I don't want to hear the bell ring. I want to spend some time with her-my best friend. Even though we've been away for 4 years, she's the closest friend to me that I could almost call my sister. We stay on the phone for hours. To the point that we talked about the American Idol while we're watching it.

I miss her a lot. <3


Bai dela Cerna, I miss you, so much. Ikaw pud Krixia Love Lopez. Sayang wala ka kanina.. tsk. :)) :*

Treasure your friends...

Being an officer

July 11, 2012-9:09pm


Being an officer is hard. Harsh. And I don't know-I just can't figure out the right words for it. You will experience A LOT of tensions, chaos, misunderstandings and so.lot.more. Most especially if you're the president. You will really be put to test. You'll never know what's in store for you. But you have to be prepared. For everything.

You have to make yourself strong. You have to be open-minded.

 As much as possible, don't make someone feel bad while you are an officer. Once you have something which is negative, redo it and change it for the better. Do the right thing always and be the voice of your classmates. That's one of the things why they appoint some officers, not just to discipline and facilitate the class but to be the their voice as well. Be flexible for their opinions and suggestions.

There are times that you will be near to your breakdown point, but you have to overcome it-it's for the sake of the class. Don't show them that you're weak. They appointed you because they believe in your strong personality that you could lead them well. It's all about being a young leader in a small community. Yet, you have to prove that even if you're a young one, even if you only belong to that small community, you have the capability to be strong and be a leader.


But remember, you have to put your leadership in the right place and right time.


You're the brain of your community.

Potentials

July 10, 2012-8:13pm


"Everyone of us has a potential to be a doctor, an engineer or even to be the president of the Philippines." I quote one of my CLVEd teacher, Sir Payot. This sentence has left a mark in my head because I was planning to say that in my speech in the Miting De Avance, but I don't know why I haven't said it. But anyway, I reflected upon that sentence for a while and I realize that that sentence is somewhat, a hundred percent true.

You have the potential to be the one who you thought you will never be, but I tell you, if you believe that you could be that, then you can! Be the person that you're dreaming for. Be the person that you're wishing for. And be the person you want to be. You just have to discover and develop that potential. It's never too late to start discovering yourself. Because I know, that once you discover who you are, then probably, you'll never let go of whoever you thought you are. Just believe in yourself and be that person.

Stop hoping, start believing...

Blogger in a Sando

July 9, 2012-10:09pm


Just a while ago, I changed my blog name to "Blogger in a Sando" from "It's me. Anly" becasue I found it more appropriate since most of the time that I am composing an entry here, I am wearing my sando. Ang babaw right? Pero I was so inspired man gud with the "Preacher in Blue Jeans" (you should really watch their vids, veeery inspiring), kaya I changed it to this new name.

But don't you worry, I am still the same. And-I forgot to say-please bear with me if meron akong mga grammar mishaps, I'm not a grammar Nazi okay? But anyways, watch out for more interesting posts. I am planning some but I just forgot to jot it down in a notebook or even to a piece of paper because there are so many ideas which are coming at once.

I am also taking into consideration being a food blogger, since I really really love food and I am really interested with exotic dishes. And maybe a travel blogger, because I want to travel anywhere. But the problem is, I am still studying-therefore, I can't travel that much. But who knows? There are always the odds. We'll never knooow.

So, I guess I should stop at this point (before I say some more nonsense).

Keep Smiling...

Words

July 8, 2012-3:49pm

Words are weapons-powerful weapons. There are times when we can’t explain what we felt because of how the words had affected us. It might be merely words but sometimes, it hurts us like a million nails pierced into our hearts at once.

Sometimes, it’s difficult to decipher how they were able to say those words against someone or somebody. It is because they are saying their own opinion through their own viewpoint and perspective. Many among us misunderstood what other people say and some of us would even come up to a make believe conclusion, making the image of that person somewhat pessimistic towards others.

But still, there is something that we can do about it. Something that you should learn from within yourself. Here are some of my tips:

First, don’t be affected by what other people say about you. You know who you are.

Second, take all the comments and reactions against you as a compliment. Have the negative comments as compliments that they are asking more from you. And have the positive comments as compliments that you could still do better than what you had done.

Third, don’t be insecure. You know what, as far as I know, many people are changing because of what they heard from rumours about themselves. Rumours which are brought out by words.

Let me just leave you a reminder: Be careful what you say because you’ll never know how much it would affect a person.
