As kids, most of us were told that when we're good, we get good things in return. "Be kind to others and others will be kind to you." "Study hard to get good grades." "Treat others well and they'll treat you well." "Be good and the world will be good to you." "Work hard to get rewards." These are all lies. The world does not operate in a quid pro quo manner. People are not always fair. LIFE IS NOT FAIR. Shit happens all the time. The sooner you accept this, the happier you'll be. Life can be one f*cked up pile of sh*t. And the best way to deal with it is to accept it as such. Smile. Learn a lesson. And move on. Disappointments and failures come and go. No matter how hard you work, some things just don't work the way you hope it would. Don't fret... greater and better things MAY come your way. Or it won't. Just deal with it. Take comfort in knowing that everybody else deals with the same sh*t. Yes, even those who seem to have it all. Everybody experiences disappointments, frustrations, failures, heartbreaks. It's just that some people deal with life…

Living Life
My FB Status Message, July 6, 2010: "I think life is not to be understood but lived. I have tried hard to make sense of things, but I have realized that smarts and logic only get me so far. The rest of it, like love, destiny, stupidity... those I cannot fully comprehend. The best way to deal with life is to let things be. I choose to let things go and let life be. Hopefully, this will make me a better and happier person. LIVE. LOVE. LEARN. ♥" Yes, I have decided to let things be, let things go, let life take it's course. Most of my life, when I wasn't being stupid or too emo, I took life seriously and thought that my a would lead to b. That every action has a consequence proportionate to the action. If I do something good, good things will happen to me. If I study hard and get good grades, I will get rewards. If I do well, I'll be praised. If I behave, I'll be given a pat on the back. If I am a good friend or girlfriend, the relationship will last. If I do bad things, bad things will…
Has Life Been Boring?
People (the few who really read my blog anyway) must be wondering why my blog has been quite inactive. There used to be a time when I would blog two or three times on this personal blog. Now, it's more like two or three times a week. So how has life been? Fortunately, I haven't run out of interesting things to blog about. Unfortunately, I have been running out of time to blog. As a certain wise person once said, "blogging is a slacker's job." And as I have been getting more work, getting involved in more things, I have lost most of my precious time to blog about the more personal/emo stuff. And even as I blog now, I feel guilty because I am not sleeping yet as normal people are supposed to do... and I am supposed to be doing or thinking of other stuff. BOOHOO! Life has been interesting. I have been going to different places (within Davao, that is), meeting new people, getting more jobs and projects, and I will be going to Manila soon for iBlog 4. I will be a speaker there. CHAR NO?! I still have to prepare my presentation, though. Heck! I…
