•          I truly seldom read forwards, both in emails and in texts (sorry sa mga nag-se-send talaga!!!!). However, this morning, I’m glad I was not in my automatic delete-mode. With my deplorable state of emotional balance, this SMS quote from Cala somehow helped me a bit to get back in my groove: Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right; forget about the ones who don’t; and believe that everything happens for a reason.

•          Recently, I feel bad/tampo over a petty matter, for the apparent non-appreciation of some things I’ve been doing, and for something I truly felt kinda ‘nabastos’ with. I was told by some friends that I should be the bigger person and understand those who do not see my point/efforts. Besides, I should be ‘sanay’ or be used to the ways of others already that I should just brush my feeling bad/tampo against them immediately aside.  Hmmm, despite some of the maturity I think I have, I still believe that disregarding my feelings and total acceptance of others’ shortcomings are not the real solutions.  One, it is quite unfair to me to just let things slide when there are some hurt emotions.  Two, being used to the ways of others is not an excuse or license to hurt/disregard another.  That shows lack of respect, care, and consideration to both my person and our friendship.  Three, both sides won’t learn each other’s mistakes that the same matters could again pose as a problem in the future.  But then again, if the other party won’t acknowledge or address my feel bad/tampo, then I could really do nothing anymore. As Kris puts it, “GANUN EH.” Oh well.

•          It was recently called to my attention that because of a mistake of someone, I have to remit some sum of money designated to me years ago.  Blast that mistake and how i came to know about it; feels like being pushed to the wall. Hay.  I miss having elders taking care of me and of all the things I now have to handle.
