DISCIPLINE IS THE KEY TO GROWTH

-

Discipline is the key to growth.  The word keeps ringing in my ear as if it is becoming my personal watchword.  It might be something that I have to sink into my system as I come to realise that the many flaws that I am keeping have come from lack of discipline.  It might be important tool to solve many of life’s problems particularly some of my personal issue.

God has a way waking me up to reduce some my setbacks.  Endeavours to sort life will be easy if not for discipline.  Discipline coincides with pain most of the time.  Yet those things that hurt instruct.  I hate pain.  And maybe this is why I dillydally so us not to go there.  My procrastination wins over as I hope that the stern undertaking will go away.   Skirting around the problem does not go anywhere.  I need to meet them head on.  Get on with it.  I got to suffer through them once and for all.  Suffering is a gift.  Make the most of it.  (Hey I think tackle this in my previous blog.)

Going in circles is taking my reservation long enough for me to go mental I suppose.  It’s like where am I?  I cannot smell any progress as I can see same old routine.  Reservation pulled me back out of the legitimate sufferings.  Not taking the legitimate suffering wouldn’t solve the problem.  The problem demands for me to grow by embracing the legitimate suffering.  It will pass.  Before I knew it, I will get through.  So let’s get on with it.

What am I saying really?

I am avoiding being specific.  But there are lots of things that I need to do but I haven’t done them consistently.  I have been waiting for motivation but the waiting is what keeps me procrastinating.  Discipline is a motivation.  That’s that.  I have been spending too much time putting some creativeness in the undertaking in keeping the fire burning.  Just do it, for goodness sake.

There may be advantages in procrastination as being propagated by Ellen in her stand up Here and Now.   Sometimes you got to stop to smell the daisies.  Yet sometimes you got to take your responsibilities seriously by delaying gratification.  Truth hurts sometimes but it’s better than living in a lie.  Discipline can be more meaningful when we know the value of suffering, accepting responsibilities and dedications to truth and balancing.

Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti

-
This morning, I craved for a Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti. And so I told Claire that I was gonna go to the Asian Store in Cashel to buy that Del Monte Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti sauce. She told me that she wanted to come along so she would see what else she could buy in the store. Then JC has to come along with us. . There is one store that might become popular soon for the pinoys in Lincoln called Filipino Mart. However, since I was in hurry to cook and to satisfy my craving, we settled to visit the nearer store. And so we shopped and shopped in the popular Asian Store in Cashel. Along with the sauce and spaghetti, I prepared grinded meat, Kransky (substitute for the Purefoods hotdog which we do not have here), onions, green pepper, carrots, and garlic. And so I cooked. I was sure I could never go wrong as long as I have the Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce. It was almost like I thought that I could do with more or less ingredients and still I could come up with del

STAGE DIRECTOR

-
I am fascinated when I get to watch shows like X-factor and the Voice where the professionals get to guide the talent. The way the relationship goes well between the talent and the mentor is when the talent gives complete trust with the mentor and just accepts that the mentor has a better view of how the talent can emanate the stuff effectively and well. It’s just like a director who has the best view on what’s going on outside the stage. I remember there was this hip guy who was part of the cast in the stage play. During the rehearsal the director directed him to exaggerate his movement. But the guy being cool but a newbie thought that the movement is awkward and not cool. And so he did not follow the director’s direction when the rest of the cast exaggerated their movements during the performance. During the performance it turned out that the audience viewed that the cool guy was awkward on stage and the rest of the cast were outstanding. What is deemed awkward in real life is normal

UST Class 5 CE

What is good about having a Facebook Account is that you get the probability to touch base with your long lost classmates. It all started when a certain guy which I did not recognize in his profile picture by the name of Alex commenting “ If I am not mistaken, you were UST Batch (Bleep) 5 CE. Right?” And then he produced a class picture which included me 60 pounds ago. “O yeah, he is Alex from Class 5 CE. And then a few days after, several of my classmates from 5 CE sprouted and asking to add them in my Facebook Contact List. Amazing! It’s like I feel young again. There is also a feeling that you want to catch up with them and see how they are after all the decades. Ooops! Years. What do you know? Most of us haven’t been in touch after graduation and after the Besavilla Crash Course for CE Board Exam.
