NoW ThaT i Am niNeTEeN, ay esTe! THirTY-sEvEn...

there are so many things I want to change.. or shall I say, I NEED to..
(seriously and not so seriously)

I'll do my best

to increase :
- my patience, as in!
- my perseverance, of course!
- my understanding, syempre!
- my alertness, as needed!
- my determination, always!
- my height, sometimes! (by wearing shoes with heels)
- my knowledge, everyday!
- my persistence, often!
- my creativity, nothing less!

to improve :
- my listening ability, so needed!
- my time management, to the highest degree!
- my study habits, more than often!
- my posture, as always!
- my speech ability, ASAP!
- my memory, very soon!

to control :
- the velocity of my temper
- the budget of my diet (budgetarian)
- the hours of my sleep
- the amplitude of my big mouth
- the seepage of my emotions

to reduce :
- my OA-ness, as the situtation demands!
- my number of meals, tomorrow!
- my waistline, ongoing!
- my weight, on the process!
- my sensitivity, practicing as of the moment!

and to :
- speak only kind words about others, or never speak at all..
- do what I ought to do, or never wake up at all..
- stick to what I wrote here, or throw this laptop at once..(di pwede!)


and ALL OF THESE, i can not actually promise.. but one thing for sure, I'll still be myself - transparent but true, sensitive but understanding, impatient but soft-spoken, less confident but self-motivated, low tech but teachable, less dynamic but productive, simple but elegant, char! ahhh basta, not the perfect one!

TakiNG ThE PLuNGe WiTh CoNFiDenCE...

1. WE EITHER GET IT, OR WE DON'T.
    It's always a choice - our choice! Nothing is impossible in people having an
    iron will.


2. WE CREATE OUR OWN EXPERIENCE.
    Consequences are just results of all our decisions and we must take the
    responsibility. It's still a choice and we are all accountable of everything that
    we choose to encounter.

3. WE ALL DO WHAT WORKS.
    Experiences count and helps us formulate conclusions.

4. WE CANNOT CHANGE WHAT WE DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE.
    Awareness is the primary key towards any change and nothing beats our being
    truthful to ourselves and to others.


5. LIFE REWARDS OUR ACTIONS.
    We may pull the trigger, but only after we've made careful decisions.

6. THERE IS NO REALITY; ONLY PERCEPTION.

7. LIFE IS MANAGED; NOT CURED.
    We must take charge of our own life and manage it with skills.

8. WE TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO TREAT US.
    Let us own, rather than complain about how others treat us.

9. THERE IS POWER IN FORGIVENESS.
    Let us open our eyes to what anger and resentment are doing to us. 

10. WE HAVE TO NAME IT BEFORE WE CAN CLAIM IT.
     Let's get clear about what we really want and let us take our turn.
