Doing the nice things are different from doing the right things. At times, we tend to do the nice things thinking that it would be noticeable to people, Doing nice things impresses people. (Plus most of the time it's also convenient for us)  Now we really want to do nice things for people, especially for people who matters the most to us, people we care about. Let's admit it, we like the way it feels when the feedback we get from doing the nice things are positive. Now this is where it gets tricky. Now doing the nice things for people or for whatever reason we tell ourselves and others... It becomes a cycle. And at times, that's the thing we mostly put our focus on.. and we sometimes defend it as doing things for people the people we care about. But these nice things are different from the right things. Sometimes when we face a choice between nice things vs right things, we tend to choose depending on the feedback that we would get. And mostly, good feedbacks are from doing the nice things. And sometimes doing the right things even gets you in some sort of trouble.  After that, we tell ourselves that next time, we will be better in making the choice between  the nice things and doing the right things. Until we tell ourselves that line again and again. P.s. If its too hard to go with the right things, maybe we can come up on doing both? Or finding the balance in between?  

Love is blind. You know what they say right? Because you can't really choose the people you love? I don't get it personally. I just don't. If there's something to make out of this saying is that, sometimes, or at some point, love makes us blind.  Love blinds us.We can't seem to see clearly when we are in love. Or maybe we can see but chooses to ignore it and let it go. But nevertheless, some kind of blindness. We can't seem to see the bad things that people do because we are in love? Or we can't see the bad things because it is getting covered by love? Or maybe we can see  the bad things but to a very much lesser degree because it is getting filtered by love?  And as love fades, or gets consumed, THE bad things are now starting to pop up everywhere like playing whack a mole. And sometimes the bad things are overwhelming us because the love is not enough to filter the bad things, not enough to cover up for the bad things.  I think what I'm saying is that, maybe we the both sides. We should really see the good things when we are in love, and also see the bad things when we are in love, especially the bad things, And love them! If we can love the bad things about the people we love, then that would be great.  But I don't see that happening. I can't see that happening. I'm Blind.

Most of the time we try to fight the bad things anywhere it may be. We try to fight the bad things about us, we try to correct bad things about us. And then we also fight for the bigger ones; the bad things in others.. with colleagues, In a group, in a team, circle of friends and family. And some even try to fight the bad things in society, community and whatnot. The list goes on and on but the bottomline is that we are fighting the bad. The Monster, The Demon, The Darkside. Fighting the Bad has a lot of different levels, different tools, approach, tactics and strategies. Some may be effective and some may be not. Who knows what will work on what? Sometimes we figure it out by trying.. and failing. And trying again. How do we fight the Bad? Can we fight the bad by doing good? Do we fight the bad by being bad? By being more bad? Outbad the bad? If there is even such a thing. There is a line in fighting the Bad, and most of us cross that line. Most of the time, the argument is we became bad, or we do bad things to fight and knock off the worse. Some of us go goes back after crossing that line, and some never look back. Maybe there is a point when you can not cross back that line and go back and they become the Bad. For good. Sometimes in fighting the Monsters, the Demons, the Darkside; we become the Monster, the Demon and we join the Darkside. When is being bad a good thing? When is being good a bad thing?

Happy Independence Day people of the Philippines!

“For there is no such thing as perfect town. All towns has its own ups and downs. You find a town where you really fit in and really like. And you make it as perfect as possible.”

The world recognize winners. We have plaques, trophies, medals, titles and the list goes on to recognize winners. All of us aims to win. That's our goal. I don't think I met someone who doesn't want to win. I think it's in our DNA to be competitive and win. And that translates to winning in life. We study, we train, we practice, we learn, we adjust, we adapt to improve ourselves to win. We do all the things we know and we can to win. And at times, we put other people in bad situations for us to win. Sometimes and for some, even most of the time we are so focused on winning. To the point that we really didn't enjoy the process. We dont mind what comes along the way, for as long as we win. When we are so focused on winning, and just winning alone, at times, some of us lose ourselves in the process. Yes, we won something! But sometimes we forget what are we fighting for. The reason why we want to win. The reason why we do everything to win. And we forgot with whom do we want to win with. And we forgot the sense of winning. Winning is awesome. But winning is beyond all those recognitions. Maybe we won a lot, but lost the few things that matters the most. Don't let that happen. Don't let the concept winning consume you.

Sight is very useful, because humans are very visual. That's just the way it is. Whether we admit it or not, we are. Yes, we respond better visually than any other senses. Maybe because its the sense that we always use, the most used out of all the senses that we have. They even say that people don't know what they want unless and until they see it. So most people always want to look good, sellers wants their products to be visually pleasing to their target market. And you always want to see a lot of people when you look good. Even some more than others. Sometimes, we only look at the things that we want to see and look people that we want to see. In short, we also choose what we see. We filter things that we see, We retain images that we like and we love. The images, the sights that made marks on us. There are things that we saw that we wish to unsee. There are things that we want to see everyday. There are things we want to see for the rest of our lives. What is it with sight? It is the first thing that we can use to assess things, describe things and perceive things, or even people. Especially people. It is the first thing we rely on for assessment. But I think the usefulness of it cannot be equated to reliability. For we cannot fully rely on our sights to judge, we cannot totally assess things based on what we see. We cannot assess people on what we see. Especially people At times we only see things that other people wants us to see, we only see what other people let us see, We only see what other people show us. Sight. A gift if used wisely, A curse if used foolishly.

Would you just play it in your head or do it and make it happen for real?

Sometimes we think that we can have more than what we can. We always think that we can just add thigs up on our lives. But I think, we just dont realize that by having something more, we are also losing something in return. Oftentimes, we overlook the things that we lose because we are too focused on the thing that we want to have, the things that we are having. At some point, we already knew that we have to give up something for us to be able to get to that point where we can have that new thing that we want to have. At this point, we are willing and ready to give up something to have that other thing. I guess we just have to think about what are we compromising along the way. And maybe pick up the pieces of the things we lost along the way.

At the end of the day, we dont know how much time we all get. Spend it wisely.

People always avoid making mistakes, being on the safe side, taking the high road. Though most improvements and discoveries are product or by product of mistakes. Other than lessons learned from those mistakes. There are mistakes than can be avoided, some cannot be avoided, and there are some mistakes that we do not want to avoid. There are things that we know that its probably a mistake, but its a mistake that we somehow want to make, or we need to make. Its like we know that its a mistake, unless we prove it otherwise : by doing it. Those mistakes contributes on our improvement, development and self discovery. And in the end, we would be like "yeaah. Its a mistake. And im glad i made it"

For friendship, you can have a friend easily today. Yes. Same with relationship. Just like the foods. But friendships and relationships that are cooked in a traditional way, are much much more nutritious that the instant ones.

Let’s not wait before its too late. Do not let the ghost in your past haunt your present. Dont let the monster in your past terrify your future.

They say there's a thin line between hopefull and desperation. A thin line between hope and despair. At times, its hard to tell if its hope or desparation kicking into your system. How can we determine and say that it is hope that we are having and not despair? And some of these times, our minds are clouded by some informations and even emotions that we cannot really rely on. How can we asses if its hope speaking or if its already desperation? Who's hopefull and who's desperate on who's point of view and perspective? Do we become desperate because we are losing hope? The lesser the hope, the greater despair we get? Being desperate still comes from a very thin chance that we can get what we are hoping for.. After all, there can be no true despair without hope. You put out the "when all else fail" move and action. When you keep on taking a stepback on the alley of Hope, at the end of it you will find yourself having your back against the wall of Desperation. Now either you push against it to move forward, climb it, or lie on a fetal position.

In this world, they always say everything should be in moderation. Too much of everything is always bad. But where do we draw the line? What is too much? And what is much less? Sometimes, too much for some is still less for others, sometimes even much less. How can you say that you have so much, you work too much, you're in on it too much. How do you quantify things in life? How do you quantify life? Others dont have much possesions and titles, but when they do have something, it means the world to them. Others seem to have everything in the world but that means nothing to them. Sometimes, maybe because we want too much, we dont see that we have enough? Or sometimes we dont see/experience much less, that we dont see that we have enough? I think this can apply to almost everything. Think about it.

Most of the time, we think of going the easy way out when the going gets tough. When times are hard, we choose to the emergency exit. But overcoming setbacks, challenges & obtacles gives you such an amazing feeling of accomplishment; breaking barriers, challenging and extending your limits gives you sense of pride and purpose. Experiencing setbacks means you're onto the right path on achieving something. Means that you are going to the next level, you're trying to do something that will make you better once you go through it. Helps you build character, helps ypu get stronger, wiser, better. Setbacks, challenges & obstacles can scare us or it can serve as determination. To make us want it more. And that what makes the achievement more fullfilling. Makes us feel some sense of purpose. So when you're on a difficult situation, being pushed to the limit, what do you do? Go!
