10 Reasons To Never Give Up

Just want to share what I read a while ago.

Happy reading.


1. As long as you are alive, anything is possible.
The only valid excuse you have to give up is if you are dead. As long as you are alive (and healthy and free) you have the choice to keep trying until you finally succeed.

2. Be realistic.
The chance of mastering something the first time you do it is almost non-existent. Everything takes time to learn and you will make mistakes. Learn from them.

3. You are strong.
You are stronger than you think. One little setback is not enough to stop you from achieving your goals. Neither are 10 or 100 or 1000 setbacks.

4. Prove yourself.
You don’t want to be known as someone that is weak and gives up. Go out there and prove yourself to the world and to yourself. You CAN and WILL achieve what you set out to do. The only time you fail is when you give up.

5. Believe in your dreams.
Don’t sell yourself short. In life there are going to be many people who will try to bring you down and tell you what you want to achieve is not possible.

6. Your family and friends.
Let the people you love and who mean the world to you be your inspiration to persist and persevere. Maybe you need to try a different angle, study more or practice more but don’t give up!

7. There are people worse-off.
Right now there are many people who are in a worse situation and environment than you are. Are you thinking about giving up running 5 miles a week? Think about the people who are unable to even walk and how much they would give to be able to run 5 miles every day.

8. You deserve to be happy.
Don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to have success. Keep that mindset and never give up until you reach your destination!

9. Inspire others.
Be an inspiration to others by refusing to give up. Who knows what someone else can achieve because you never gave up and in turn inspired them not to give up.

10. You are so close.
Often when you feel like you want to give up you are so close to making a huge breakthrough. You are just a heartbeat away from success.

childhood memories

I thought I'm going to spend my "bum" vacation for blogging, but its not, i forgot to press ctrl+tab for my blog post. Anyways, so before going to bed, if there are things that pop-out up in my mind or just the very morning I try to recall then type those in NOTES in my cellphone.

There were many issues and that are currently spreading and affecting the lives of the people (yay! why so serious) which makes me take life so seriously. How I wish I'm still a kid (90's kid to be exact).

Before there are no limitations of being a kid. No expensive gadgets to play about. No social networking sites that will kill your time. No problems at all.

The moment of waking up early and helping my grandparents in cleaning the whole yard when vacation comes. Harvesting some vegetables in the farm (turnips, camote, and corn). Riding on my grandfathers bicycle and sometimes on his carabao. We even wait for the pandesal vendor which he used his bicycle and selling house to house. Pandesal + hot coffee = solve for breakfast. There are no bacons or even hotcakes. Just a simple living.

I grew up in province which makes me so proud of because there are lot of things I've enjoyed doing. Making   kites. Drinking water directly to the faucet. Showering in the rain (but we never got sick, because the rain is still not polluted).

Playing outside is our happiest moments. We can play outside without limitations (just don't play near the road). We do always play habulan, piko, taguan, langit-lupa, ten twenty, chinese garter, trumpo, jackstone, bahay-bahayan, titser-titseran, and making paper bangka near the canal.  We always got bruises while playing but it's not a big problem after crying we're going to play again. We were healthy back then.

We don't have any gadgets just like laptops, X-box, cellphones, playstations, Ipod's, internet, and social networking sites (Facebook, Friendster, Twitter, etc..) All we have are PLAYMATES our so called FRIENDS. Friends that we can talk and play with. Friends whom we can share repetitive stories with.

Memories I can treasure and share with others. So lucky enough to experience this things. I'm so lucky that I'm a 90's baby. :)

Kid's today will no longer experience the fun of being a kid. They are now attached to those gadgets they have and even more demanding.

Aminin mo, ginagawa mo munang singsing ito bago mo ito kainin.

11.11.11 - Make a Wish

A hundred years in making.First time that people will be alive to experience the unique date.



Many people believe that if you looked in a clock and it's 11:11 you should make a wish, and that wish might come true. But for me, every time I spotted :11:11 and I make a wish, nothing happens. Well maybe, the wish that I wished for is not really meant for me. But I can wait. And I still do make a wish whenever I see 11:11.  And praying also is a powerful tool.


Today (November 11, 2011) 11:11:11 or 11/11/11 :11:11am/pm I think I can make an unlimited wish (haha). I don't know also how the 11:11 - make a wish started. You can share it to me if you know. :)


I've also think of my 11 wishes.


1. I wish good health to my family and friends.
2. I wish having a job before the year ends.
2. I wish a fruitful and productive year and ahead.
4. I wish I could use pen tool easily.
5. Unlimited happiness.
6. Special someone.
7. I wish I can fly my own wish/sky lantern.
8. I wish self confidence on my self.
9. I wish I can go to Korea.
10.  I wish more friends to come.
11. I wish all my wishes will come true.

ano ba talaga ang gusto ko?

Ano ba talaga ang gusto ko?


Noong bata ako, ang ambisyon ko maging isang astronaut. ako lang ang nakakaalam sa bagay na yan nung kabataan ko. Kasi tuwing tinatanong nila ako kung ano ang gusto ko paglaki ko, palagi kong sagot maging isang "nurse". ewan ko ba, yan na ata ang pinakacommon na sagot sa tanong na "anong gusto mo paglaki mo?". Pero gusto ng papa ko na maging isang pediatrician ako, mahilig kasi ako sa mga bata. akala ko magiging consistent ang pagkagusto ko na maging nurse.  Simula kinder hanggang 3rd year high school gusto ko maging isang nurse at magtrabaho sa ibang bansa, yun lang wala ng iba. Pero noong 4th year na ako, at ilang months na lang graduation na, tinanong ako ni papa "anong kukunin mong course sa college?" ako naman biglang nagdalawang isip. Gusto ko rin bang maging isang engineer tulad ng papa ko at ng mga kapatid ko? Pero nasabi na ni papa na di bagay sa babae ang maging isang engineer dahil itatake for granted lang daw. Okay, yun na lang nasagot ko, at di ko na pwede pang idepensa ang sarili ko dahil marami na syang alam sa mundo ng pagiging engineer at isa pa ayoko talaga sa math. Nursing. Yun na lang ang nasabi ko. "Magnunursing ka? Hindi ka aangat sa buhay kung yan ang pipiliin mo. Di ka yayaman hanggat di ka nakakaabroad. Gusto mo bang ikaw ang humahawak sa dumi ng tao o kaya makakakita ng mga namamatay o naaksidente?" (sorry nursing graduates, yan ang opinyon ng Papa ko sa bagay na yan, at alam ko tama naman siya).Dahil sa mga sinabi ni papa, mas lalo akong nahirapang magdecide. Naisip ko, kung magaastronaut ako, kelan sa ibang bansa ako mag-aral dahil di naman sya available dito sa Pinas. 


Ayun, dumating na nga ang isang mahirap na pagsubok. Ang paglagay ng 3 choices na course bago magtake up ng entrance exam.At wala sa pagpipilian ang Accountancy. Ang course na gusto para sa akin ni papa. Sa Mendiola lang daw inoofer ang course na yun. So first choice ko Business Administration, 2nd Nursing, 3rd Tourism. Mabuti na lang may brochure sila ng mga courses. Suggestion kasi ng registrar yung Tourism, kaya inilagay ko na - isang course na pangmayaman (at di rin yan gusto ng papa ko para sa akin). 


Naging masaya naman ang buhay ko sa BA. Hanggang sa nagkaroon ng Dentistry sa building namin. Heto naman si ako, parang ang saya maging dentistry. Kaso mahal ang tuition fee at 6 years yun sa college. So di pwede. May subject kami na political science, hanggang sa naisipan kong mag-Law. Naisipan ko na ilang years din pala yun. at may board exam na iilan lamang ang pumapasa. So di pwede. 4th year sa college, ang huling taon ng paghihirap at pagdadasal na sana makasamang magmarcha sa graduation. Saka ako nagkainteres sa Photoshop. At doon gumana ang malawak kong imahinasyon, at nasabi na lang ng mga kaibigan ko na sana nagmultimedia na lang daw ako, dahil may potential daw ako at mas lalo pang mahasa ang kaalaman ko. Sh*t! bat ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng calling sa ganito. Well, wala na akong magagawa. Kasi for sure di rin naman ako papayagan ng parents ko. pero palagi kong nasasabi sa sarili ko, kapag may work na ako, mag-iipon ako ng pangtuition ko at mag-aaral ako sa isang multimedia school. 


Ngayon, gusto ko naman  maging isang accountant, isang patissiere, isang journalist, photographer, web designer. Pangarap ko na sigurong masasabi ito. 


Pero gusto ko talaga na maging isang astronaut. :D


 Ano pa ba?
