A taste of wine will never make you go back to fruit juice.
This is just my short poetic saying. When our fellow Filipinos starts working in the outside of the country, they don't seem to be happy or contented living back in this country. I understand the economic difference. But I realize one thing, it's already hard to come back in simple ways when you have tasted a luxury life. It is still sad, because you forgot the way of living and started to become a foreigner of your own land.
This does not only relate to overseas workers but even to the students who have tasted salary on their hands, and find it difficult to continue studying already. They don't want to study anymore. They just want to work for the money. I understand the financial struggles but some did not struggle at all, they have been entice by the wages they get when they work compared when they study.
Anyway I'll end this post with;
Sometimes it's better not to open a bottle of wine, or else we'll be craving of it forever.
A church pastor once said;
"The saddest thing in life is not death, but a life without purpose."
That hits so hard.
If you could restart your life again, where do you want to live? Me, I wanna live in a bright countryside, away from the civilization. I want the slow days and simple lifestyle. I want each day counts with my cats. I want the bright sunshine every morning and a peaceful and happy neighborhood.
They say the key to a happiest life is to think as if every day is your last day.
Since the time I went to college physically and the pandemic has finally ended, my lifestyle has totally changed. It's hard for me now to be slow or focused on doing things, just sitting and facing the screen. I can't squeeze more brilliant ideas compared before. I realized it is because I am multitasking and I'm not sedentary compared before. I have seen the difference. I used to feel discomfort when I'm in crowd but now I feel discomfort when I'm alone, I think a lot and I feel that being inside is lonely. This is not my thinking before but I have been physically active in life, this has changed me in different ways. My self today is a lot different from myself during pandemic time. I have seriously changed but it is only noticeable in the real world, not in the virtual. I'm looking back on how I used to be or should I not? I'm moving forward in life unlike before.
In religion, heaven and hell are a place. But when I start to learn and study spirituality, it gives me a different perspectives. In spirituality, heaven and hell are both states of mind.
No matter how happy your life is, if you feel no comfort and peace of mind around..in the end you will choose to be alone and live with peace, even if it means loneliness.
They say your environment matters a lot. I can say it is. If you are surrounded by toxic people, it's hard to live a peaceful life. If you are living in a bustling city, it's hard to live a slow-paced life. If you are living in a place where pressure is on, it's hard to remain calm. You cannot change the people around you. But you can change your environment. You don't deserve to get stuck in a place that suffocates you. If you have the will and the money, move to another place or to even a different country where no one knows you!
I hope you are in a good environment that brings you peace. And if you're in a wrong environment today, claim it that you will be able to get away from it one day. 🍀
As I grow up, I have realized that one of the hardest thing in life is the decision-making. For every decisions you choose, there is always a consequence, whether it's good or bad. We have the freedom and the free will to choose our path but it's a matter of taking risk and facing what the outcome will be. No one is 100% successful in decision-making not even if they claim they are good at it because the truth is we are like picking assorted candies in a box. So even if you decided wisely, it doesn't mean it's the best decision or it will lead you to a positive outcome. It doesn't work like that. Not because it's a greener pasture it will lead you to a desired path. I realized it isn't like that.
Decision-making is like flipping the cards that you think will bring you the luck. But the truth is you are playing with the fate.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, according to Newton's third law of motion.
Life s a box of chocolate and you never know what you're gonna get, as Forest Grump says.
So far what's your best decision in life? Or what is your biggest regret in life?
You can have everything in life and still be not happy. You can have a partner and children and still be not satisfied. Why is that so?
I can't believe that I still have friends from noise to Facebook. You guys are amazing, life has been changing for me and I don't know where it will lead me to but I'll never forget the people I met and shared good times in the internet world. For now, I'm so detach with the digital and so busy fighting for what I don't know in the real world, lmao 😂
I just finished watching the movie 'Interstellar' and damn it is so very nice! It is difficult for you to understand the movie if you are not into multidimensional theory. I have read reviews of others who have to watch it repeatedly just to understand the movie but as for me, I have easily understand the movie. Especially the ending part, everything is sinking to me right now. This movie shows that the past, present, and future are happening simultaneously. And your future self could be communicating with the present you in the form of past.
Interstellar-2014
Fun fact: you will never find happiness in this world
People became unbeliever of Jesus because of false preachers and distort teachings. Instead of pulling them closer to Christ, they are dragging them away from believing because of twisting the words and wisdom of Christ. It's sad but it's the truth and many people don't believe who Christ is anymore and does he even makes sense? I can't blame them for thinking that way because most people are making a profit out of his name or trying to use his name for authority. That's so crooked but I hope there are real preachers who understands the teachings of Christ and mostly, they are ordinary people without a ministry, formal education and they don't ask for anything, such as money.
I hope they will encounter Jesus again, not through the words of religious leaders but through opening their spiritual eyes and there they will see who and what Jesus is.
Me: *starts worrying about my loaded activities*
*thinks about finishing it all night and sacrificing a sleep, so I have to double-time.*
*Browse the Tiktok app and found a recommended video about the hunted creatures lurking and living on the Appalachian mountains*
*Gets curious so I started researching about the skin walkers, and I start to feel terrified about tales of these mythical creatures and didn't realize it took me minutes thinking about this and not finishing my activity 😭😭😭😭😭
I really love speaking but that doesn't mean I don't feel anxious in public of course I still do. It's just that I find it interesting and exciting to share what's running in your head in front. That's why I decided to pursue teaching but hey, it's not worth it in this country. So I'm thinking what other career should I pursue where I will speak. I want to practice speaking continuously but I don't know where to. Also I realized I prefer being around with people already, must have something with the lifestyle and college course why it made me sociable. Anyway, I want to go back and pursue the world of digital but I realized that I feel like...I can't live without a social interaction. Lmao, I'm an introvert but not to an extent and I even don't like to go outside during pandemic era but now things have changed. When I imagine of becoming a freelancer one day, I feel that I can't live with that career for the rest of my life. I want to speak and interact. I'm torn between where. 😂
I'm having a headache in our campus journalism subject plus tomorrow we're going to a boat for a photo-journ. It's fun but tiring. Lol 😂
is it possible to become spiritual and tech -savvy?
the answer is yes. in fact, Web3 such as the development of AI and metaverse can be spiritual because you are not only limited to the physical but you can engaged in the virtual and mixed reality. this is where our higher consciousness can be activated because we can create our own world through the digital space. isn't it amazing?
As a student studying the education profession, this makes me realize how quality education is very important and I want my siblings to experience that. The public system sucks and the country's education system is never improving. This makes me realize that the students aren't the problem at all but the leaders! Many students are struggling to learn in this high level of heat index is too difficult for the students to learn. The students coming from the minimum wage earner are actually demotivated to come to school. The government must do something about it. There are admirable countries who really put so much effort in their education system, they give allowance for education, gadgets for learning, food, conducive environment, and everything they can offer just to provide quality learning for the learners. My heart bleeds for the system here, as someone studying to become a teacher in the future..I'm scared I will be a slave of this damn system. I feel pity to the youth who deserve quality education but due to circumstances such as greediness from the ruling power, it's hard to touch. The sky's the limit as they say, but not when it comes to the Philippines educational system.
A sudden thought enters my mind: Who will go to heaven? Is it the unbeliever but does good in this world and respects all life creatures or the believer who is not good and does not respect all other creatures existing in this world but thinks that as long as they accept salvation they'll go to heaven?
This Christian song gives me a lot of emotions. The singer is a soprano. I'm a fan of her, the time I saw her on America's Got Talent when she was 13 where she received a golden buzzer. I only realized today that's she's making Christian songs and surprisingly, she's also of my age! If you're a Christian, you should listen to this song it will totally lift your spirit.

Time changes everything.
Whenever I watch the world through the perspectives of others, that's how I understand everything. That's how I see the reality and the intentions of everyone. It's easy for us to judge quickly or to utter praise over someone without even looking at them closer. When you think the good people are the good ones, you may be wrong. When you think the bad people are the bad ones, you may be wrong. May be you need to have a change of angle for you to see who is being hypocrite and real.

If your life was a movie and you're watching it in a big screen cinema, would you continue to watch it 'till the end to see if it works the way you want it or to find out if there's a plot twist of your story?
I wonder if I'm a character in a story or movie, will someone even notice or appreciate my personality?
Marriage is quite tough. There are several things you have to be ready in the first place.
1. Money- The parents of your partner will of course accept you if you are rich.
2. Money again- If your partner is from a family of business owner, being rich will not make you look displeasing in front of their eyes.
3. Profession- You are beautiful and amazing to the bloodline of your partner espescially when you own PhDs and great credentials. Applicable when your partner is from a highly educated family, you must impress them.
4. Participate in their culture- if your partner is of different religion than you, lol you have to participate. In short, you have to be converted for real.....
5. If you want to skip above things and make marriage somehow easy, just take a look at your partner's family background.
Or best.. don't get married at all.
What's giving you the reason to continue living?
Me:
We need an Avril Lavigne x Green Day collaboration. Some things never changed, just like these two punk rockers who stood still throughout the time. Life is still beautiful as the way before. 😍🤘
Drop a "💣" if you want them to make music together. 🎸
Tomorrow I will be doing an outside demo teaching to grade 8 high school students. I was very excited until I heard what my fellow classmates experienced in their demo teaching at that school. They said the students are rude, they don't listen, interact, and argue in front. Lol, I was like what the hell??? The most struggling part I heard is that not all can read well. Omg I think it's going to be a real challenge for real but I have to motivate myself that no matter what, I will do my part to keep the lessons in their minds. This is my second time to do a demo teaching, back before it was grade 12 students and they're engaging and active in the class but I guess this time is going to be different. I don't want to overthink it, I have to brace myself for this.
I'll be dealing with tough young teenagers then.
No one:
Me with my random thoughts: Maybe if I was born in a different country, I won't appreciate the little things in life. Everything happens for a reason.
I don't trust what I see online. Manipulation is anywhere. Deception is everywhere. An average or even an educated user can be fooled by anything online. Marketing geniuses have levelled up. They use online video content and create scripted scenes where they will catch the attention of others through an emotional line. It doesn't seem they're promoting it because it appears like a random video captured by someone, but that is the purpose. To promote and make people buy. Okay. What's most horrible among all is the fake animal rescue. They will show a video of an animal dying and pretend to rescue it but behind the camera, they are the ones who put the animal in danger! They get sympathy in the comments section and more views! You already know what that means if you have millions of views, that means more advertisers will pay to advertise in your videos. These people have no conscience for harming animals for the sake of promoting fake rescue content. When asked what happened to the animal or a Part 2 update of the progress, they can't show you that. Because they are the predators and not the rescuers you thought on the screen.
Songs? There's so much manipulation and deception there. The singers will break up and make a song about it. Post a heartbreaking story and then release an album about it. Some breakups are even planned for promotion. Really fantastic to hear. Some will even create a scene such as creating viral photos for attention. Anything that will end people talking about them, for marketing and promotions of their songs. Even making the name of products boom, they will create a fake issue where a buyer encounters this and if it happens to go viral online, then it's a success for the product's to be known. There are so many manipulations and deceptions online. It's your choice if you want to get brainwashed.
