“Rise”

I know that it’s over
But I can’t believe we’re through
They said that time’s a healer
And I’m better without you
It’s gonna take time I know
But I’ll get over you

[Chorus:]
Look at my life
Look at my heart
I have seen them fall apart
Now I’m ready to rise again
Look at my hopes
Look at my dreams
I’m building bridges from these scenes
Now I’m ready to rise again

Caught up in my thinking, yeah
Like a prisoner in my mind
You pose so many questions
But the truth was hard to find
I better think twice I know
That I’ll get over you

[Chorus]

Much time has passed between us
Do you still think of me at all?
My world of broken promises
Now you won’t catch me when I fall

WHEN PROBLEM BECOMES A PROBLEM

by

In times of trouble, how do you survive? How do you deal with the problem that comes into your way? Are you the “passive” type? Or the “active” type? From the famous tagline, “different strokes for different folks”, we deal and treat with our problem depending on our capacity to think and analyze things.

There are 2 kinds of problems, the unexpected and the foreseen. Problems that happens accidental and is beyond our control can be categorized as the “unexpected problem”. These are scenarios that  just pops out suddenly in our life that we cannot do anything but to deal with it. An example of it would be, a loss of a loved one, a demise. Although all of us are expected to die eventually, but we don’t  expect it to happen soon! So when it happens, although it’s painful, we must deal with it.

The next kind of a problem is the foreseen. Well, we don’t need to be like Nostradamus, or a psychic to predict things to happen. Actually, in reality, most of our problem falls in this category. We tend to do things that are not very well thought about before executing it. If you may notice, there are problems that happen in our lives which should not be happening at all. Because of our carelessness, and passiveness to a potential problem that may occur, it evolves into a certified “mind-bugling” scenario without us noticing it. Then there goes the problem.

Another tagline, “paralysis of the analysis”, when you keep on thinking about a certain situation, that suspends your decision, the execution just hangs in somewhere. You cannot figure out a certain direction that will lead you to decide whether you want to do it or not.

Thinking three steps ahead before making a decision would be the best tool to come up with a great outcome in decision making. It’s like a chess game, that every move you make is three steps ahead of your goal. It is like preventing a potential problem to happen. If you can make yourself to have that kind of ability, life will be so easy. And you would have a lot more time to enjoy it, rather than spending most of your time in thinking about your problem and the solution to it. As we all know, PREVENTION is better than CURE.

Life is what you make it! Why not make it fulfilling and happy. Life is too short, people! (^,-)

WHEN DO YOU SAY, “IT’S OVER.”?

When do you say.. IT’S OVER.? Is it really over? Or is it just a suspension? Many people say that love is full of mystery. There are things that we cannot understand why? We cannot explain how? We cannot figure out when? And we cannot define where?

Love has always been the greatest word of all time. And being in love has always been the greatest feeling anyone could ever have. Every relationship has its own history to remember. Some are sweet, some may be painful, and most HAPPY!

There are a lot of books that explains how to understand the difference between a man and a woman’s perspective when it comes to love and relationships. A famous tagline would be, “men are from mars, women are from venus”. The explanation with this would be simple. That both sex came from two different planets with different behaviours. The two are extremely different.

In most cases, men are dominantly dictating while women are faithfully submissive. It’s the norm, but should it always be the “norm”? Sometimes, when you feel like it’s not anymore fulfilling being submissive to your man, a woman should think and re-assess the real status of the relationship that she has with him. If you think that your rights are being deprived, you can always say “no” and refuse to submit.

We all have choices, equal choices that were clearly defined by the Law and by God. And every choice that we make has its own consequence and purpose, much more the responsibility for any risks that may involve in such decisions. We may have all the choices, but we’re not perfect. We decide for something that we think would benefit us at the most, or would benefit others more than us. In short, our decision depends on our state of mind for the moment. Deciding being selfish, or deciding being selfless.

There are a lot of reasons why things should be over. Why relationships must end. And why we must stand for the decision that we made. Even if it could be a wrong decision in the future, the important thing is, you have decided.

Life is like a long flowchart. You must always decide every turning point. You follow the flow and the path to where your decision takes you, until you reach the END. The question would be, did you have the best ending? Then the question, “WHEN DO YOU SAY IT’S OVER?” will have an answer.

Life is beautiful, enjoy your flowchart! =)

VALENTINE’S DAY, a movie review

well, well.. im not really a fan of light, fun-happy movies because i think those are shallow.. but anyway, i’ve watched it, of course, i would’nt be writing a review if it was’nt so..

so, actually, we were suppose to watch “dear john” a heavy drama love story, just for the sake of feeling soooo inlove on the valentine’s day.. but we ended up watching the movie.. Valentine’s day! it’s an all-star cast, and it’s valentines day, so why not watch it?

to summarize, the whole story went around the interconnected worlds of the whole characters of the story on how they went through during the valentine’s day! there were pieces of love stories, intertwined together, to discover how LOVE works on the most celebrated day for the lovers! the VDAY!

stories were very touching, emotional, relevant, and it happens! so, anyone could relate to the love story of the couples in the movie.. you will realize the true meaning of love, and when to push or to pull a relationship whenever troubles and problems occur.. you know, the love tests and all that stuff that will make your principles in love gets complicated. but in the end, what matters most, is the genuine love that you feel for that person, and acceptance of everything about him/her regardless of its values.

love is not perfect, it only happens when you learn to accept everything about the person you really love, whether its good or bad. it will be PERFECT!

show more love! happy valentine’s day everyday! =) *kisses* and *hugs* to all!

PERCY JACKSON and the LIGHTNING THIEF

ok.. percy jackson and the lightning thief is like a kiddie movie, but fair enough to entertain the adults.. it’s informative for the students with regards to history and literature.. the gods and the goddesses!

well, percy jackson is the son of poseidon, which is the god of the sea, and kiddos of his kind is being called as demigods. the story is all about the life’s struggle of the demigods and being that kind was not easy. specially they have’nt seen or met their god or goddess parents, because it is forbidden. the reason,  beacause poseidon was nearly wanting to be a mortal ( a human) because of his son, percy jackson while staying with his family for seven months. poseidon was then forced by zeus, his brother to leave his family behind.

there was a big twist in the story, who is the lightning thief? because percy jackson was suspected by the gods especially heraeus, his uncle, the god of fire. and so the adventure goes..

i find logan lerman, the star of percy jackson soooo cute! i have a crush on him actually.. =) *giggle*

watch it, lots of humor, and love.. =)
