Remember what peace there may be in silence - desiderata

do you still remember the last time you were still?

In silence, you hear yourself think

In silence, you hear yourself answer

Hitting rock bottom might force you to sit still. Be silent.

For in silence, you find inner peace.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste - desiderata

I admire people who take time. In this day and age, you hardly find someone who actually savors every waking moment, WHO ACTUALLY SIEZE THE DAY. Whoever wrote the Desiderata probably had the best life ever lived.

In fact, I read a bible passage that changed my life.

This is from Eccl 3:1

Take time to think. It is the source of power
Take time to read. It is the foundation of wisdom
Take time to play. It is the secret to perpetual  youth
Take time to be quiet. It is the opportunity to seek God
Take time to be aware. It is the opportunity to help others
Take time to love and be loved. It is God's greatest gift
Take time to laugh. It is the music to the soul
Take time to be friendly. It is the road to happiness
Take time to dream. It is what the future is made of
Take time to pray. It is the greatest power on earth
There is a time for everything.

Get rich quick scheme anyone?

Just yesterday, I thought I was spammed. 


I am spiraling over the turn of my life events because law school seems to be taking forever for me! I really need to make money. So I surfed the web for online jobs and actually found some. I registered but sadly, the income is depressing. 


Data entry jobs makes you type 1000 characters before you can earn .30 USD = 12 PHP! 
Paid to click websites pays you a tenth of a penny (0.01 USD =  43/100 PHP) for clicking an ad


I'm not sure if there are more securing online jobs out there but the ones I found are definitely not worth it.


Then out of desperation.... 


I came along this website http://thepaidtoclickmoneybooster.net63.net  that gave me the feeling that this is it. I know! Most of you might think that I shouldn't have. 


I clicked the Buy Now button. Paid for it. and waited...waited.. but no ebook.


I got so frustrated that I thought I was spammed. 


I didn't realize right away that my payment redirected me to another page. So I got the download. I now know the secrets to PTC advertising. I just wanted to share this all to you. I finally found a legit online business.

The Happiness Project (Day 6)

Find a reason to be happy

For weeks straight. I have been depressed. I am so down, I don't even feel like trying. Up to this very moment I am writing this, I am still depressed. It's the bitterness reigning over me lately.

and to end all this, I want to be truly honest with myself. I am sad because...

*Mommy has everything she wants. A new car that she promised to give me but never did but instead got one herself. A career. A lover who I hate the most. All the money she needs... And yet, I cannot understand why she can't let me be happy too? She's too proud when handing me money (making me feel even lower than I already am). She won't allow any of my guests in the house whenever she is not around (I have to spend money to host them outside). She doesn't want me to spend quality breakfast time with someone I really want to be with. I feel she's being too selfish.

But I also feel that I am being too narrow.

She deserves everything she has. The car she owns, she earned every bolt. The career she's in, she worked like a donkey to get into. And even if I hate her boyfriend WITH EVERY BONE IN MY BODY, she also has every right to love and be loved.

My mom, even as an uncompromising authoritarian that she is, I love her so much.
I'm happy because she has been blessed with another year of life. Turning 53 today, I can see her standing on the topmost pedestal. My mom is living a wonderful life and I should be happy for her. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST AMAZING MOM IN THE WORLD!

Happiness Project (Day 5)

Day 5

I fell in love with the wild waters

For a sweet escape, I went to a very special place.

Beforehand, I was too depressed. I am having an internal crisis. I didn't think it was possible for me. I was always happy. Always high. This weekend was not for me. I fell. My life was a wreck. 

Who could have thought that the waves will wash away everything? It was definitely a sweet escape. I fell in love with the wild waters. and that love. that love is perfect. 

A beautiful sunset

Happiness Project (Day 4)

The RAIN

I was friggin' cold yesterday. So I called in sick and skipped work. Luckily, or unluckily, for me... the meeting was cancelled. (So wala rin pala. kala ko nakatakas na ko. hahaha!) Anyway, I was compelled to stay at the bed for hours to end. Then I really had to go eat. 

I asked ate amor to buy me chicken... tatay taught me how to cook arroz caldo. 

the photo above is too ambitious.. mine looks a little like this....

and the rain... it suppressed all of my depressions that day. 

Happiness Project (Day 3)

Day 3

Finding yourself a new motto

Don't Quit 

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
