Irony of Life

Life can be taken, Life can be born. Either way around, it is inevitable.
You may grief forever of your lost or celebrate life with a new beginning.
Every morning is a different day. You meet people along the way.
Some you know, some barely and some not at all..

You take chances for a dream that would come true.
A will of fortune, a brand new life, a good job.
Wishing for betterment of all.
A better boss, a better spouse, a better friend, a better one.
But have you ever thought that to be better we have to be in our worst?

Irony of life. You are pushed to your limit to to know where you stand.
You quit or fight? At the end it is still in you, how well did you juggle life.

Life can't be planned accordingly, it always end up unexpectedly.
Everything is uncertain, always expect the unexpected.

Stop complaining on things you don't have and wishing for some you want.
You can't have everything. Besides you don't even need it.
Always try to be content with what you have.

At the end of the day be thankful, be still.
Not quite as you thought it would be but don't worry.
Tomorrow is another day to look forward for.
A chance for a new savvy day.

Life is not how long you live but how you live life..

Down memory lane

March's and May's are the most awaited month's for the graduating students from grade schools, high schools, and colleges. Every student prepares for the awaited day they have been yearning most of their school days, to graduate.
I attended college graduation twice this past two months, one for my sister and the other for my cousins. I found similar scenes from the other to another, the grins in their faces and the sighs that ya i had too during my days.

Ironic as it seems back at the time when we're still in school all we think about is to graduate and then here we are nostalgic about our school days.Well i guess it's because we spent half of our life in school, learning most of what we do know now. But not just learning per se it's the people we spent time most, our classmates that we made friends and later BFF's. With all those stupid things we do talking back behind our teachers wishing they would be absent in the next few days so that there will be no class. Planning fight backs and how to loiter school and canteen during class time.

That might be some of the reasons, reminiscing the past and few topics for the reunions. School days with the day to day activities we had, the knowledge, the laughter, the fun, the years spent together. How well you did school?was you, one of the top of the class, the quiet one, the unbearable parrot, the ever versatile student, the most popular, the nerdy or the most hated one, the teacher's pet? Whoever you are from the past doesn't matter now what matter's most is how you spend your school days and the memories you treasure most with the people you've been. Bear in mind memories are forever and so are friends. Keep in touch always.

The National Geographic Magazine released a video clip about "The World's Most Typical Person" in the World over 7 billion people. Imagine that, who could it be a male or female?

A Big Boom in the morning

Boom! mother went in our room in panic asking what was that?Minutes before she did told us what happened around 1am to our neighborhood, they were been several gunshots fired in one of the resident and some armed men in bonnet were seen hovering in the area. Hours before the big boom I've read a post in the FB saying she heard a 6 gunshots, i thought it was somewhere farther here so i just didn't mind. As mother in fright, father went in his motorcycle rushed to the scene to find out what happened. As he came in there were already the policemen in control of the area. Neighbors said that men in bonnet threw a grenade before they strafe the house, fortunately the family inside laid after they heard it, good to hear they were all safe. Speculations that it was  some kind of political foes. It could happen to anyone anytime. The best thing to do is always be vigilant, be aware with one another, were neighbor in the first place that the closest thing we have around.

Something

we’re living in the world full of lies
everyone wants to be the one
the one who has the world
the one who wants everything

it’s a shame that we’re fighting for something
something that we don’t have
why can’t be happy with what we have?
coz this is how it started

this tales of war that never end
when will end?
coz we’ll never win
no one wins in a war

i’m asking you will you be happy?
when you have it all
and the world is behind you
asking for something they own but they don’t have
