My greatest frustration about myself is that I never really know how to control my feelings. When I love you, I love you all the way. It’s like, I always wear my heart on my sleeve for people to see and throw the most beautiful words possible for me to get too attached and when I do, they suddenly turn into a whole different person and I am left shattered and hopeless, gasping for air and love that I once thought was there.

And the worst part? Heartbreak after heartbreak, I still fall for the same cycle, the same scenario in hopes that maybe, just maybe, this one’s different. But they never really are.

Heart VS Brain

Posted on 07/25/2014 by Lenn

A lot of people kept saying that you should listen to your brain instead of your heart, because following your heart usually just leads you to getting hurt and taken for granted. But I’ve always admired the heart most, people may say that always listening to your heart would lead you nowhere and that you’re stupid for always chasing someone who doesn’t really appreciate all the efforts you did for them. But on the other hand, did anyone ever thought about how stronger the heart is?

The brain would usually tell you to stop because you’re going to get hurt, because you’re not going to get what you want and you’re just wasting your time on things or people that doesn’t even care about you. But the heart knows about that too, that the people you’re wasting time on doesn’t really appreciate anything you do, but it still goes on. It still chooses to love them, it still keeps going no matter how shattered it already is, because the heart is strong enough to chase after the things and people that it beats for while the brain kept telling you things to back out because it’s always usually just scared. The brain doesn’t want to go through challenges while the heart is selfless enough to do everything even if it means being broken.

I’m sure the name deserves to be the title of this post, after four freaking days of not having electricity. Damn, that typhoon even deserves a standing ovation from boredom.

Anyway, I’ve been really really on the edge of cutting my wrist out of boredom. Loljk! The past four days has been the most unproductive days of my whole existence as of today.

I was actually considering that we won’t have electricity until the 22nd but thank God for today! We’ve been really having a hard time during the evenings and the likes. But hey, the good thing about the non-electricity days were that I started reading The Sea of Tranquility and I’m almost half done, I didn’t start right after the electricity has gone out but last Thursday. And so far, I’m loving it! I’ve tried reading it a few times before but I can’t quite figure out why I can’t seem to push further than Chapter 1. But oh well, there really is a time for everything!

I’ve been really eager to have the electricity back because I can’t stand not being able to have distractions. The past four days has been really crucial for me, since I am left all afternoon and evening with my thoughts. And I tell you, my thoughts aren’t really the friendly type. They could kill me by letting me choke on all the memories I have and I could actually go on and on thinking where we could have gone wrong and I swear, it’ll leave me crazy.

So that’s how I dealt with all the shit that typhoon brought us. But I’m still thankful because there are other people suffering without a home or a shelter to stay in, and I’ve been really guilty for having to complain for not having electricity but I’d be a hypocrite if I tell everyone how okay it is to not have electricity because we all know that’s not true. But anyway, I will be praying for everyone.

(I took photos after the storm and of other things during the black out, but the camera’s with my brother and I don’t want to mess with him right now because he has loads of things to do for school, so here’s a plain text post instead.)

Beautifully written articles are my inspiration to chase after my dream of inspiring the world with my thoughts. I just love stumbling over a blog with great content, and having to read how they started always gives me hope that one day my dream will come true.

I may not have taken up journalism, nor will I be one of the greatest journalist and/or writer, but having to inspire people with this blog will always be enough for me.

Six Rules for Newly Weds

Posted on 07/05/2014 by Lenn

Always say ‘I love you’ to each other.

Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.

Say at least one compliment to your partner everyday.

Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire.

If one of you has to win an argument, let it be the maid.

Never bring up past mistakes when in an argument, it will only worsen the situation.

I’ve attended a wedding today and the bride’s father included this on his speech. It really actually made sense even if he made a joke about some of it.

Insurmountable

Posted on 06/25/2013 by Lenn

I keep on saying that my dream is to inspire the world with my words, and now, I realized that I keep saying them whenever someone asks me, “What do you want to do that will truly make you happy?”. Yet I don’t even think I did something remarkable through my words that could at least inspire a few people.

Sometimes, when I’m alone, my thoughts drift to things and I am filled with thoughts to say and write, but I seem to lack the courage to let people know about it because I’m afraid that I might not be able to put the right words together to inspire them or to even make them read it.

Sometimes, it’s when I do not intend to write that the words simply fall naturally good together. And usually, that side of me appears when I am alone and in a daze, at night when I am the only person awake, when I think and even when I read. That part of me comes out without me knowing and intending to.

Put all the negativity aside and make room for all the positive things in life. There maybe tons of ups and downs but always put in mind that despite and in spite of everything, never ever give up. Never lose hope, because everything will be okay. In time.

Yes, it is easier said than done, but all you have to do is have faith and always embrace life’s grotesqueness to find your way to the happiness you have long been searching for.

Never forget that God has reasons, and whatever His reason may be, put your trust on Him for He knows what He’s doing. Smile and do your best!

RE: RH Bill

Image

So we tackled the said bill earlier in our Profeth class.

One of our classmates said that he is Pro RH Bill, because for him, it will help the Philippines grow, that the Philippines should let go of the tradition we have and move on, because as of now, the Philippines isn’t moving forward. Which I think is true, he has a point. Because the Bill isn’t mainly about ‘killing babies’, as to what others claim. Looking at the bright side, it will help lessen the population of the Philippines, which is continuously growing through the years. There are also Sex Education for the teenagers, so that they would know what is right and just. It is helping the economy and the country grow as a whole. Our Prof said, we are not sure that RH Bill is the key to the problem. But for me, we should give it a try, right? Since he mentioned that we aren’t sure if it is the key to the problem but how would we know if we don’t try.

On the other hand, our Prof also has a point when he said that the people in the higher position who wanted to make this a law will only benefit on it. As long as money is involved, their concern will always be focused on it. Plus, he also stated that young adults will just abuse the legalization of the bill.

Note that I’m not really Pro nor Anti the Bill. Just looking at both side and both views have a point.

Gun Shot

Posted on 01/02/2013 by Lenn

Everyone knows well enough that firing a gun in the air could kill someone, because it doesn’t get anywhere, it only stays near the area where you have fired it. It would eventually hit someone. Events like this usually happen in New Year’s Eve.

This has always been an issue ever since, and I don’t get why people keep on doing it when they know very well that it has killed a lot of people in the past. I am blogging about this because I really really love children, and the little girl named Nicole died because of it. It just hurts me, I feel the pain her parents feel. I have always been in love with kids, I am fond of playing with them. I tend to smile at them, give them a candy or help them with something even when I don’t know them. And hearing news like these just breaks my heart into a million pieces. It saddened me to have heard that she had passed away this afternoon.

I hope everyone learned from these, I hope that next year, nothing like this would happen again. I hope and pray that they find the person who fired the gun as soon as possible. I know whoever he is knows what he has done and I don’t friggin know how their conscience stands keeping quiet. Please, have a heart. </3

#OnReading

Reading is life, not a hobby.

For me, reading is an escape. It takes me to different places, it makes me drift off from where I am, which I literally hate. It gives me hope that someday I’ll be like the character in the story. It makes me fall in love with a character.

It makes me believe that everything is possible.
