When to let them go....

Image via Wikipedia

The thing with people is that we fight for relationships, friendships and connections that are no longer worth fighting for. You have to learn how to know when it's time to let people go if they are no longer a good contributor in your life. If they start being angry at you or making you feel bad about yourself that is not resulting to a good consequence for your well-being then this person is worth you forgetting them. Cry about the lost friendship and relationship but move on, the world offers you much better than all that negativity.

Yes, it might have started genuine, the feelings of true bonding and the feeling of respect and value for each other may have been there and so you have know when that is gone. Either because you just grew apart or you that when the feeling was just simulated from the beginning. Yes, we've all been there and you are not alone everyone has experienced betrayal and it's a shame when you are being true and they were not but you know there's no productivity if you are just going to mourn about something and fighting for something that you are never going to win.

So move on, get rid of all the people concerned in your life. Set your mind that it's your life, your destiny that you are taking over and it shouldn't be that you are playing a part in their lives, in their movie as a supporting lead. Anyway, if they are anything worth being in your life, they will come back sooner or later but if pride will prevent them it's not going to be your fault. So be open to them coming back but nonetheless be open for them to never coming back again. Like all good and bad things, this too shall pass.

an ode to the year...

Image via Wikipedia-long live the PI!

As my year ends I review what I have done with my life.. Nothing was exactly perfect but everything was just how I wanted it to be..Everything was focused on being happy for this year. Though it's the last 24 hours of this year, I don't know whether or not I have fully accomplished that purpose. Am I happy? Do I have everything that I have wanted? I have a guy who loves me, I have family and I have friends. I got to do things that I never got to do before. I got over an old love, I became an aunt and I became a serious student being elected to a college officership and as well as a National Position for an association for law students all over the Philippines. I have experienced a life and death situation as a terrorist attack befell upon one of my recent travels. I have met and lost people for this year. Some left because they wanted to, some left because God took them away. I cannot count the many times I have attempted to give my heart away this year but I guess I have already aceepted that I'm inlove with love. I was presented with a lot of challenges, I made mistakes, got scolded for them, I learned and I got better. I have shared what I have learned to others and I plan to continue learning and sharing them. This year, I also  went through an adventure with my classmates as well as my professor on the same day, I saw someone I thought I wouldn't see again. I realized I have let go of anger but my only challenge is to accept the cause of that anger back in my life. All in all, 2010 was not just about being happy for me. It was about being truly alive. Next year, I will truly be better, and 2012 will be the year I will fulfill my dream. To become a lawyer, to grab that chance no matter what it takes. For my parents, for myself, for my future. So I say, goodbye 2010. I won't meet you again, you are a year that marks me as I bloom in full spring of my life. I will surpass you in 2011. I love you, goodbye.

SUCs budget cut-My reaction

My message to President Benigno S. Aquino III: Cutting the budget for the SUCs for the purpose of "Augment" that money to basic education is the most illogical argument I have ever heard. Why don't you make more elementary schools and increase the wages of your government employed teachers to prevent them from going abroad instead of cutting off the budget for state colleges and universities? It's like cutting an ARM so that the FEET could grow!?
