Appreciating is a Good Deed When I was a kid, my parents taught me to be appreciative. When my aunts gave a birthday presents that time, they always advice me to say "*THANK YOU*" no matter how expensive or cheap the gifts are. So as I grow older, that behavior is still unto me — to be grateful with everything I received. I just want to share also my memories of joining Christmas parties when I was in Elementary and High School. Since then, before we buy the gifts, there's a…
Who to Fall in Love with First? Did you ever fall in love with someone? Or, are you currently finding the love you are dreaming for how many years already? Most of us are so busy waiting for our special someone to come and fulfill the missing pieces in our hearts. But, then are you ready to fall in love with someone else if that happens? Did you already fall in love with someone you are supposed to love in the first place? ***If not, then this article will give you an…
I Had My Best Friend 3 years ago, my parents sent me to a new school (particularly a private school) where I didn't know anyone aside from a two classmates of mine in my previous school, but I am not close to them that's why I felt a little nervous (not just a little, I know, but I don't want to be exaggerated) especially about how will I get used to that new environment. Before the start of classes, of course everyone should look for the list of names in each classrooms for…
Someone's Mistake Will Never Be Other's Success Have you ever experienced to be in a situation where someone pointed out your mistakes just for that person to stand out? In Filipino term, we call it "bida-bida" and it's kinda annoying sometimes. **Let me share my experiences before when I encountered a person like that.** I remember the time when I failed to get a perfect score in our exam when I was in Grade 7, one of my classmates (who got a perfect mark given the fact…
Communicate Clearly With These 4 Steps Everyday, it's very essential for us to communicate with everyone around us especially if we want to build connections, to share and gain information, or to just lighten up our mood. Communication is one of the things that we really need to survive. It may not belong to the physiological needs of Maslow's Hierarchy, but then we can't deny the fact that we really have to deal with it from time to time. But, communicating is not always…

What I'm Doing When the Rain is Falling? As of this moment, the rain is pouring hard and that made me shiver a bit with the atmosphere. Before I am complaining for a very hot weather that made me sweaty all the time while I am working on the household chores assigned to me. But now, I think my wish for a cold weather has been fulfilled. ***When I was child, I am confused why is it raining. I am thinking, where did the rain came from? Is there a sea above the sky that was…
Baby Shark, Is That You? When I was still in Senior High School there's a story circulating aroud our school about a ghost child who was named as Baby Shark. I don't know who gave that name to that ghost since I am just a transferee that time, but obviously the one created the name just based it on the song made for kids by Pinkfong. According to my former teacher who claimed to have a third eye and can feel the presence of ghost, Baby Shark is a young girl whose been…
Every Experience is Worth Having Our experiences in life may not be always happy, but they are all worth having. We may experience downfall, but not all the time. There are times that we can consider as our lucky day because everything turned out the way we want to be. But, sometimes life itself is unpredictable. There are instances that we thought it would be great, but the opposite happened. However, that should not be the reason for us to give up easily. Everything's…
3 Reasons Why Learning Should Never Stop As time passes by, no matter how fast the time ticks on the clock, still, learning never stop.

As we interact with other people around us, we can still gain some knowledge from them especially if they talk about their experiences in life that will somehow inspire us to do…
The 3 C's in Life: Change for the Better Living a life shouldn't be just sitting in the couch doing nothing. We must keep ourselves moving, and do something to change our life for the better. We can't be successful by doing nothing. We can't achieve what we want if we lack courage to work for it. Just wishing for something to happen is not enough. Life is not a passive process. If we didn't do something, nothing will happen. We must be active all the time to do the work, and…
From Criticism to Motivation From the 19 years that I am existing in this world, I can't count anymore how many times I received criticisms. Whether from the people I am close to, to the ones who don't even know me, criticisms are always being thrown. Sometimes I am discouraged especially if the criticisms are true enough for me to felt guilty about it. I am not perfect, no one of us, I should say. We often commit mistakes but it doesn't mean that we will just move on one…
Feel the Fear and Face it with Bravery We all have fears, but not all of us can face it. Some are brave enough to conquer something they are afraid of, even if their hearts are pounding hard at first. But some can't even stand in front of someone or something simply because they are not brave enough to face their fears. We people have different kinds of fear, that's because we are not the same in some ways. There's something that I am afraid of, but not to others. But there…
Every Progress Counts Have you ever doubt yourself just because you're progress isn't that big to celebrate? ***If yes, then better change that mindset.*** Every progress counts no matter how big or small it is. Even if you feel like it's so slow to progress, when those small things combined, the outcome will surprise you for how big it is. We can't deny the fact that sometimes we feel like we are not doing great anymore and even if we're doing our best to progress, still…
Be Happy Without Destroying Someone's Family Free channels on television nowadays are mostly airing drama series about love problems that most people got to experience especially for married couples. Those cliché plots about a happy family with a loving wife, a hardworking father, and lovely children, which at first perceived as a perfect family. But, a third party will come to test how loyal either the wife or husband to each other, and sadly one of them will bite on the…
Bad Dreams: Lessons or Signs? All of us dream everytime we sleep at night or just taking a nap at day time. We can dream about the most wonderful things we haven't experienced before but, we can also dream about bad things that we can consider as a nightmare. For the past few nights, I've been dreaming what I really want to experience in real life. Dreaming about living in a beautiful and surreal places like Japan and Paris, and being with all the person I am closed to. I…
The Three Faces We Have: Who We Really Are? We people have different characters. As we interact with people around us, we got to show different layers of we are differently from one person to another. We have this face that we always show to the world **(the first layer)**, that is somehow different to what we show to our close friends and family **(the second layer)**, and the face we never show to anyone but ourselves (**the third layer, the most deep one**). I was just…
Just Be kind Being kind is one of the most great acts that we can do. We don't need to be rich in money to show kindness to others. Being kind in a simplest way is still a good deed. No need to get pressured in showing how kind you are in a grand way. According to **Oxford dictionary**, ***"kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous and considerate."*** Meaning to say, being kind is not just always limited in helping others as an act of generosity. We can also show…
