Time

You often hear about people, including myself, complain that there is never enough time in the day. You hear people say, "if only I had more time..." or "where did the time go?" You hear people wish for more time. But have you sat back and thought about what you would do if given more time? Would you really make use of it? Would you get all those things you say you'd get done if you had that extra time? Or would it be more time to just do nothing or to mess around? Would you procrastinate more knowing you were given more time to make it up? Time can be our best friend...our worst enemy. They say time waits for no man(or woman)...

Crap, i better get moving...

Do you...

"The things we Love to do, Define us, Inspire us, Remind us who we are..."

You might not get to choose your path. But you can choose how you will travel along it.

"So go on and go where you wanna go...See what you wanna see...Be who you wanna be..."

read or heard these quotes today so I'm putting it down for now. I'll explain why later. Stay Tuned.

Bookworm

Lately I've been getting this urge to read a good book. So the past two sundays have been the same. Chill the whole day away, then go to mass and spend the rest of the night looking for a good book. Last Sunday, I wasn't so successful. To be honest, I didn't even know where to start. I normally just go to the bookstore to take advantage of the a/c and read magazines. haha! I didn't even know what kind of book I was looking for to read. I was hoping something would just pop up and scream at me, "Read me! I'll change your life" haha! Ok, maybe that's a little much...just a little. I'm not going to lie but I was looking for a book that, although fiction, would touch my heart...touch my soul. Ok, still a little too much, but you get the picture. Part of me wanted to find a good love story(partially because of the feelings I'm dealing with right now which is a whole other blog), but I have to admit, I was a little embarrassed to bring it up to the counter and have the girl working there look at me and think to herself, "awww, you poor sap. girls do not want guys who read these kind of books." So I went home, hoping to get other's recommendations on a good book. I was recommended a few by my sister. Titles such as "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "The Alchemist"

So today, I did the routine again. Caught up on sleep from my sleep deprived week. Went to Mass at 6:30pm, which I'm proud to say I haven't missed mass since I told myself that I would start going again. I even went the past 3 weeks by myself and without anyone pushing me to go. Yay me! Anyways, grabbed some Jolibee after mass because I've been craving some Palabok. Unfortunately they ran out so I had to settle for a "chicken joy." Some time this week, I'm definitely getting some Palabok. Anyway, I ended my night at the Barnes & Nobles that I usually go to. I was determined find me a book. I started by looking for the books my sister recommended. I couldn't find either one. But I was determined. So I walked aimlessly around the book store till I came to this book:



Looked interesting so I picked it up and read its description and this caught me: "Together is a heartwarming story of anyone who's ever lost sight of what matters most in life...but has hope that there's more." That's all I needed. I picked it up and began reading it there.

I read through 6 chapters before the announcement that the store was closing came over the P.A. system. I wanted to finish the book so I decided to buy it...then I saw the price. Man, books are expensive!! I put it back on the shelf and began walking out thinking I'd just come back next week and read some more or that I would wait till it came out in paperback. But I couldn't leave it. I really wanted to continue reading it. I figured it's better spent than on something stupid. So with $23.00 less in my account I am the proud owner of my very first hard cover book.

On the way home I was listening to a "Michael vs. Janet" mix by DJ Konnix and I heard this song and couldn't help but smile:



Yeah, they just don't make good music now a days. I think it would have been fun to be a dancer in that video.

Reading my book...till next time.

Dream Idealist

One of my friends posted a blog saying that they took this personality test on iPersonic and I found it rather interesting so I thought I'd give it a go and it came out that I'm a "Dream Idealist" It's actually rather true. Interesting.

Dreamy Idealists are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. They share their rich emotional life and their passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge them to be cool and reserved. They have a pronounced inner system of values and clear, honourable principles for which they are willing to sacrifice a great deal. Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad would have been good examples of this personality type. Dreamy Idealists are always at great pains to improve the world. They can be very considerate towards others and do a lot to support them and stand up for them. They are interested in their fellow beings, attentive and generous towards them. Once their enthusiasm for an issue or person is aroused, they can become tireless fighters.

For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. They only busy themselves with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. They tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case so that they often have a very successful academic career. They are less interested in details; they prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that they still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that Dreamy Idealists overlook something important. As they are very peace-loving, they tend not to openly show their dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of their strong points; they hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has them as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise.

As at work, Dreamy Idealists are helpful and loyal friends and partners, persons of integrity. Obligations are absolutely sacred to them. The feelings of others are important to them and they love making other people happy. They are satisfied with just a small circle of friends; their need for social contact is not very marked as they also need a lot of time to themselves. Superfluous small talk is not their thing. If one wishes to be friends with them or have a relationship with them, one would have to share their world of thought and be willing to participate in profound discussions. If you manage that you will be rewarded with an exceptionally intensive, rich partnership. Due to their high demands on themselves and others, this personality type tends however to sometimes overload the relationship with romantic and idealistic ideas to such an extent that the partner feels overtaxed or inferior. Dreamy Idealists do not fall in love head over heels but when they do fall in love they want this to be a great, eternal love.
