DIFFERENT MIND-SETS

-

I accept the fact that I cannot stop people from contributing to the fall of mankind. I should stop ranting at people who do bad things to good people. These are people who have so many wicked ways under their sleeves whose mission is to annihilate the good guys specially those who are getting in their way in serving their self-centred ego. In my mind I thought they should not do that and it’s wrong. Now I have a clearer understanding that our minds wired differently. It seems that they don’t care if they are certified a-holes in the site of whoever has the right senses.

I guess I was brought up differently valuing more on giving and find happiness in it rather receiving, focusing more on what I can do and how I can harness it and finding achievement in working on a task rather than claiming credits on what I did not work on. People on the opposite extreme of me may not understand my concept of happiness, focus and achievement and may find it odd for the reason that they are rewired differently. They may find that I am a loser which I think I am not because I believe I am always a winner based on my personal concept. I am sorry to say that I find people who live out by trashing others to succeed the real disgraceful losers at least according to my own valued concept and principles. I am not perfect and sometimes I fall on the lure of the opposite side yet I still value my true north which helps me track back my real home. I understand that I am not the only one on the basis of the response of LIKES of my valued ideologies I posted in Facebook. I surmise that there are people who agree with me and in one way or another want to follow the same values.

I have no power to change people whose source of achievement is stepping on others at all cost unless there is a divine intervention and so I pray. I cannot join their game because it is not my kind of game which I know I will always lose. I am no competition with anyone. I only focus on what I do and how I do best. Yet there are people whose mind-set is to watch every move I make as if I am part of the competition. While I am doing what is right there they are doing all sorts of wrong around me. No I am not in the competition. I would like to say that in their face over and over again. But I refrain from doing that. Because even with a megaphone, announcing it irritatingly would not do good because their minds are set that life is always a game and everybody who is getting in their way is an opponent.

If there is a game of life that I would like to join, I would like to join where people are outdoing one another to do good, enjoying one another’s company, seeing the best in people, without envy, without malice, without any cynical view at work.



No, I am over the game of analysing every move of the malicious. It robs me from doing what is right and what is essential. The value of having an optimistic outlook goes beyond winning. The real triumph is in the day to day satisfaction that comes with feeling that you are living the right way for yourself and for others.

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.
