The Greatest Chronicle: Memoirs of True Living

Communication is really IMPORTANT to avoid any conflict.

You will definitely see people's true color & behaviour when it comes to MONEY - so always be aware and cautious.

I still have a lot of things to improve on myself emotionally. Logic shall always comes first than emotion.

We don't OWE anyone an explanation. We cannot control whatever people will think about us and it's none of our business to settle within their own judgment.

Someone asked me why did I stop using Facebook. Okay, I literally didn't stop using Facebook. My account is still active and I didn't deactivate either. I just prefer not to spend most of my time scrolling and seeing something false, deceiving and negative from my news feed. Cos I believe that whatever we read and see shapes our perception on many things. I still check on my Facebook, yes, but only for notifications.

Socmed nowadays has become a powerful tool that creates detrimental facts and fool one's thinking. It's no longer the old Facebook days where its sole purpose is to communicate and build networks among our families and friends.

As we grow older we tend to choose peaceful options over conflict. As we get mature we prefer doors for understanding and accept thing as it is.

They say that love should not envy but what if love also grants you pain?

What if the person who makes you happy is also the peron who makes you feel petty.

What if love gives you sorrow?

Does love still worthy?

Does love keep the worth to fight?

Does love still embody the sterling meaning of affection?

Its warmth.. its solitude.. its intimacy..

I went to Baclaran Church kanina, I solemnly talk to Mother of Perpetual Help and I said,

"Kung para sakin, pagsusumikapan ko po na patunayan na deserving ako at gagawin ko lahat para mapasaakin. Pero kung hindi, salamat pa rin po kase alam kong tinuturuan Mo ako ng mga bagong lessons sa buhay. Magtitiwala po ako sa Inyo at alam kong ibibigay Mo po sa tamang panahon."

I remember during my college days, I was so very competitive. Yung gusto ko ako lagi ako dapat yung may mataas na grade, gusto ko ako lagi dapat highest sa exam, gusto ko ako lang yung qualified lagi sa academic scholarship, gusto ko lagi ako nasa dean's list, atbp. Nagawa ko naman dahil na rin sa siguro sa competitive ng environment sa PUP at sa dami rin talagang magagaling, mahahawa ka talaga na di magpatalo. I became greedy sa recognitions, sa mga leadership positions and so on.

Then it came after graduation, I have prospects kung saan company na aapplyan ko at particular ako what position shall I pursue. Sadly it didn't happen. It took me 4-months to be hired pero as a call center agent. Kinain ako ng pride ko. I never told anyone sa mga classmates ko na nasa BPO ako kase I know they expect me so much. Then ako pa yung babagsak sa call center. Sakit sa puso friend. When the time I was taking calls I always ask myself "bat ba ko andito?" Pero looking at how people see anyone from the management sabi ko sa sarili ko balang araw magiging katulad din nila ko. I pursued and I motivated myself na kahit nasa BPO ako dapat may mapatunayan ako.

I performed. Never ako umabsent and never have I failed my scorecard. I listened to my Sups and now ako na yung Sup. Ako na yung nag-gguide at nagbibigay ng advises sa kanila. At my age, I feel very accomplished at my career.

Looking back, dami kong pangarap na di natupad. Pero iba pag pinaubaya natin kay God ang lahat because He will lead you to a right path. Ngayon I no longer look at a higher position. What I look now is on how I could give back-- on how I can help my agents not only to be better at the workplace but also to be better individually. Like I always tell them, nilagay ako ni God sa posisyon na to with a purpose. Before, I question bat ako nasa BPO but now I realize eto na yung purpose ko.

I hope my agents will also look to whatever that makes them happy. Sa panahon ngayon, we are deprived of happiness due to peer pressure and the standards being set by the society. Pero ako I want to tell you maging masaya kayo. Gawin niyo kung ano makakapagpasaya sa inyo basta nasa tama. And I hope you can also shower happiness to everyone with your love and good heart.

As we grow older, we choose to be more exclusive and private. As we mature, we tend to turn negativities off and be more optimistic. As time pass by, we develop to rely on ourselves more often and focus only on whatever that makes us happy. As we step on tomorrow, we learn to get rid off all dramas and choose people who is healthy to our well-being.

Along the way I realized that some might be friends now and they turn to be acquaintance the following day. Life is not constant and change is inevitable--and I completelt accept that. Some might misunderstood but if we learn to choose our own battle then we'll always think to choose ourselves over anybody else.

Love ourselves. Choose ourselves always.

Confession.
