 Isn’t it ironic that we learn so much when we suffer as well? Think about it. For example, when you enter into a relationship too early and when that ends drastically, after that poignant experience, you become more mature and you now think twice. You learn.

 We also learn from happy experiences. But there’s this edge when we encounter not-so-good things in our lives. These sufferings, they become so much of a learning experience because when they happen, you’re often caught off-guard. Sometimes, they occur at the time when you are most vulnerable. And this is a wonder.

 Another thing is that sufferings do not tolerate us. It’s almost as instant so it can’t be calculated. What you feel or what you become after the situation is always subjective. You can say that it’s because of the pain - but still, it’s all up to you on how you handle it.

on-a-new-perspective:

 When someone you know and care for suddenly shifts from a close friend to someone you barely know or someone you wish you knew but it just won't work, it's utterly depressing, isn't it?

 It's hard because in a span of time, they seem to become indifferent or worse, someone who they promised not to be.

 I've never really been conjured by politics and whatever of the like. But it never served as a hinder for me to express my nationalistic side.

 Well one thing you should always expect when you're finally in college is that, people from your high school, a.k.a. your batchmates, will instantly message you on FB if they think you're witty enough to answer segments of their homeworks, researches and whatsoever. Yeah, this kinda had a source like that. 

 In this case, I was asked what is my remarks on the current administration of the Philippines, specifically our president, Noynoy Aquino; and is he fit for his role? I answered:

As the symbol of the State, I think he is. He is an exemplary leader in a closer look. PNoy proves to be what he promised - not a corrupt leader, but the one leading the hunt for "ugaling wang-wang" officials.

But on another point-of-view, he hasn't really done anything massive or overly significant. He still needs to prove his worth to the rest of the Filipino people. I know his reign might have been disturbed by earlier crisis, but PNoy must be able to come across and be more of a leader in action.

 There comes a point in our lives when we all feel complete; satisfied with what we have. We feel exuberant and alive at a certain timeline. But there's always a paradox.

 Life is ironic, in my opinion, because when you feel light, happy or delighted, there shall be an ample amount of hardship, discomfort and pain that you will feel almost instantly. It's a reality we don't want to meet.
