As you wake up in the morning, are you sure that the sun will continue to rise in the east and sets in the west? When your day starts with a nice one, would you believe that no conflicts will come to suppress your luckiness?You are,indeed, not sure for no one lives with certainty.
Every day is another day. So, it means that we are not going to engaged with the situations of yesterdays. We are going to face a new day to build a new experience. We are going to be set on a new situation to learn more things. We are not certain on how things go on. So, people always looked back with a puzzled face.
We never know when we started to fall in love. We don't know when the feelings that we have fade away. We don't know when we started to be hurt and heal. There are no clues when life begins and how would it end. We may feel happiness but time will turn everything to sadness. If the poor thinks that their life is not going to somewhere good, they should stop thinking that. The circle of life continues to move until one day, the people on the other side may also take the chance to live life different from what they are used to be.
We should always learn on how to be strong. Take all the consequences because we are the ones making our fate.

STOP ARGUING WITH YOUR PARENTS NOW!
Do you and your parents constantly argue? Did you know that arguing leaves you feeling stressed? Of today's generation, you can't count on how many children argue with their parents. I also encounter this within our neighborhood. Arguing is like running on a treadmill. You will expend a lot of energy but you won't go anywhere. But you can avoid arguing with your parents if you try these 4 steps.
1. Think before you respond.
When you feel you're under attack, do not talk of the first thing that comes to your mind. Don't make an impulsive reply. Try to perceive the feeling behind your parent's words. Never respond with sarcasm.
2. Speak respectfully.
Learn on how to speak quietly and slowly. Avoid making unnecessary facial expressions that may give an indication of annoyance. If you feel you're about to lose control, offer a silent prayer to God to maintain your self-control and don't add fuel to the fire.
3. Listen.
If you talk too much, you might say the wrong thing. So make sure that you give your parents the chance to speak . Set aside the things that you are doing and maintain eye contact. Don't interrupt to justify your actions. Just listen. After they talked, you'll have plenty of opportunities to explain your viewpoint.
4.Be willing to apologize.
It is appropriate to say "I'm sorry". If you think you find it hard to do this face-to-face, try to express your feelings with a note.
You can also use the following steps when you argue with your siblings, friends and even with your classmates. Express yourself in a normal conversation. Before the day ends, try to make peace with the person you argued with.

DON'T QUIT
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you 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 everyone 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.
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 seems worst that you must not quit.
The author of that poem is unknown.I had just found it from the back part of my old notebook.Thanks to the author whoever you are.I promise to myself not to quit from any thing..

WHAT IS TRUE LOVE?
In this week, I'm so "kinikilig" while watching My Binondo Girl.I'm watching two people where their feelings are getting deeper and deeper as days passed. But I was bothered by the question " What is true love?
For me....
True love begins when you suddenly become mystified
When you wake up every morning ang you have a smile on your face
When you hear his voice and you feel like heaven
When you feel ashamed as if you're eating messy stuff like fish ball
When you dream dancing with him
When you call him up and you guide the conversation by an outline you made
When you lose your pride because of your love for him
When you can't put into words what you feel and your left speechless.
Do you think of these superficial.....here's more....
When you run instead of walk
When you stand instead of sit
When you stumble instead of stand
When you give instead of receive
When you have the capacity to heal instead to inflict hurt
When you feel absolutely beautiful instead of ugly.
When you have the gift of x-ray vision
When you feel and perceive things beyond the layers of skin
It's when you see God's reflection in the mirror.....
That's true love....
I know that everyone has the knowledge to make his own meaning of true love...
Try to make your own....

KICKED BY THE COW
Early this morning, about six o' clock, my father asked me to buy a candle in the sari-sari store.He is used to light a candle every morning. I also bought my favorite candy "Haw Haw". When I'm on my way home, I noticed that the plastic contains a picture of a cow. Then, memories of my unforgettable experience came back.
It was Saturday, October 22, 2011. It is already a week from now. I went to my cousin's house to do my module in Araling Panlipunan. Their house is somewhat isolated. There are few houses in their place and you can count the number of houses there. Before I arrived in their house, I passed on the fishponds.
I finished late. When my younger sister and I were about to go home, we noticed that our slippers were bitten by the dogs. We repaired our slippers to avoid hassle while walking. We became more late in going home.
We were about to finish passing the fishponds when I noticed that there is a cow on the end of it. The cow ate some grasses. The owner of the cow was there and he is just watching his cow. I told him to get his cow out of our way because there is a tendency that we might fell from the water. But he did not listen.My younger sister made the first move. She passed through the very side to avoid the cow. She succeeded. And next was my turn. Before I moved, I joked myself that the cow will kicked me. But I made up my mind by thinking that the cow will never touch me. The cow didn't hurt my younger sister so it will never hurt me, too. I pass to the very small space carefully. I made my move without touching any part of the body of the cow. Unfortunately, the cow kicked me. I almost fell from the water. I was thankful that there is a tree near me so I held my hand there. The owner of the cow and my younger sister laughed at me. And I joined them laughing. I laughed myself because it is really fun to be kicked by the cow. And I'm not hurt.
When we arrived home, the angry face of my grandmother welcomed us. Then, she preached us.
When I came home, my father saw me smiling. He even asked if I am going crazy. I just told him that remember something -something funny.
Cows are not harmful. They just know on how to understand people. Maybe, the cow understood what I said before passing. Maybe, the cow thought that I like to be kicked. Try to be kicked by the cow! It's really fun!

SILENCE!!!!
As I stay in the house, non-ending litany is what I always hear. Perfectionist parents never gave up on addressing me what should I be or what should I do. So, there are times that I put something on my ears to avoid hearing those repeated words they had. Sometimes, they laugh out loud as if no one is affected. Outside the house are my neighbors-neighbors who can be labeled as the "gossip monger of the town". I always hear them talking of nonsense. In the school, I always expect that there would be noise. i can't do anything to stop them. Whenever a student starts a conversation, others follow. But they seldom follow the teacher when she says SILENCE!!!
In this week, I gonna be tired of reviewing my notes.But i'll be more tired of saying SILENCE!!!
If I say this to you, would you listen?
