My name is Just-In :)

I'm not a fan of "pick-up lines" nor using them. I can't even remember if there was a time I got engaged in a conversation using those. Although last year, my group mates decided to use it in our project for Sikolohiyang Filipino. Well, it seems nga it didn't work for me, kasi I ended up going for a solo and ibahin yung concept ng project ko, far from "pick-up lines" nga. Siguro kasi yun nga I'm not into "pick-up lines" though my close friends almost use it as a part of their daily conversation for quite sometime, lalo na nung kasagsagan na uso talaga sya. 

Last Sunday, dahil walang magawa, nanood ako ng tv. Since wala masyado magandang palabas, napunta ko sa channel five. Airing ang Loko Moko U. May isang segment sila na na-caught yung attention ko at ewan ko, why ganun yung maging impact sakin nung portion. Empoy delivered his "pick-up line", "Hi, I'm Justin. Just-in case magbreak kayo, andito lang ako". Super natawa ko. For the very first time, naaliw ako sa isang "pick-up line". I don't know because natuwa at natuwa ba ko, or dahil nakarelate ako? 

Parang I want to change my name tuloy for a moment and introduce myself as "JUSTIN". Just-in for, Just-in case mahipan sya ng hangin. Just-in case marealize nya na, may nag-eexist na "AKO". Just-in case, pwede kahit malabo pa sa tubig ng Manila Bay. Just-in for, Just-in case, just in case. Pero impossible talaga. I don't even want to entertain the thoughts. 

Pero type ko talaga yung "JUSTIN" :)

The Last Time I said "I'm Sorry"

Last night I was chatting with my friend. As our conversation goes on, there were words and things I have said which made him confused about his decision. I'm just pointing out my concerns, its just that, maybe I have delivered it in a confusing manner. And I for myself also got confused also, so in the end, I retracted my statement. Not that I'm not unsure about it. Its just that I don't want him to feel as if I'm imposing something. God knows I only want what nothing, but good intentions. Our conversation ended, me saying "sorry".

While I was in bed and my migraine is attacking me, an old feeling strikes. I suddenly remember, it was quite sometime I never use the word "sorry". Since the time I decided to cross and walk in different path, this was the first time I said the word "I'm sorry" to a friend. Specifically to a male friend.

Although looking at it, it seems the same, but, it was not actually as close as it was. Before, when I say "I'm sorry", it was a result of careless joke or a discussion resulted into a misunderstanding. But now, it was a result of an advice that was not clearly define. And I must admit, it was my fault. Minamigraine na kasi ko during that time, I feel like I'm going to vomit any moment. So I didn't finish my explanation. 

Natawa ako, kasi from the day I changed my prospective in life in terms of friendship, this was my first time again to say "sorry" to a friend. And surprisingly, feels different too. Yung manner how I view and what to expect ibang iba na. I can't describe exactly what was the difference, pero may difference na talaga at malaki. Maybe, factor din, kasi sa ibang kaibigan ako nagso-sorry at the moment. Nothing, its just, I remember lang. :)

Looking back from the last time I said "I'm Sorry" it was traumatic, and nakakadala, Unlike now, nagso-sorry ako for a better reason, to a much better person, and I know a much higher form of friendship.

Lesson Learned + Realization 2

There are people who tried their best to pull away from a certain situation because they know and they are fully aware that they are already stepping on someone's toe, but ended up FAILED to move away from the circumstances. Whether ginusto narin natin ang sitwasyon na kinalalagyan natin or dala lang pagkakataon kaya tayo hindi makaalis, at the end of the day, choice mo yan.

Lesson Learned: Huwag mong ilalagay ang sarili mo, or h'wag ka nang papasok sa isang sitwasyon na hindi mo kayang lusutan.

Realization: Nilikha tayo ng Diyos para kontrolin ang sitwasyon, hindi para kontrolin tayo ng sitwasyon.

Psychological Testing. A subject wherein Psychology major are expected to learned and able to administer various psychological tests at the end of the semester. DONE! May bonus pa. Conflicts. Kahit saan tumingin may conflicts, and it sucks! This semester supposed to end happily, pero everything was blown out of proportion, at nakakalungkot. REALLY.

Lesson Learned: No matter how you try to understand people and situation, sometimes the only thing you get out of that trying is STRESS.

Realization: A simple misunderstanding and miscommunication can cause a big trouble, especially if it was blown out of proportion.

To someone's life, who are you: Reason, Season, Lifetme?

Reason, Season, or Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Random Thoughts 2

Parang ang tagal ko nang hindi nagpopost ng entry, blogging is really a part of my system na talaga. No particular topic to discuss, and no "big" issues in my life currently. Yeah, I know some na may issues na dala-dala ngayon. But, I just want them to leave alone for a moment and take their solitary moment, they need it.

Well, I supposed to finish my editing for our thesis, but then, I feel like paulit-ulit na yung sinasabi ko kaya I decided to stop muna. After nun, we can pass it this week, and hopefully have it signed by the professors. :) Speaking of thesis, funny talaga yung final defense namin last March 26! Imagine, terno terno kami ng kulay ng suot na damit. We don't even talk about it. At first, Van and I decided na magterno, but then sabi nya, di na daw sya bibili ng damit. Ako talaga I have decided to buy since I'm investing din sa clothes, recently kasi naliliitan ko na yung mga damit ko. I saw a blouse in the mannequin, kulay red. Nung sinukat ko, bingo! I bought it agad. tinernuhan ko na lang ng light beige na color ng pants. The next day, while me and Van are walking at SM Fairview, she saw this dress, maganda at bagay sa kanya. When she paid it, we noticed na we have the same color. Natuwa namin kami kasi kahit dinidregard na namin yung una naming plano na magterno, feeling namin God let our plan to continue. Ayun E di terno kami. When the defense day comes, we got shocked when we saw the Gelo and Leo wearing the same color as ours. OMG! Paa talaga kaming nag-uasp, tsk! Kulet lang. Oh well! here it is.

Oh diba? Sadyang nakakaloko magbiro ang tadhana. With us is our dear thesis adviser MR. RICHARD LAUS, who has been soooo supportive samin ni Van from the start. Nga lang minsan nahihilo kami sa schedule na binibigay ni Sir. But then, nothing in the whole part of the thesis making we want to change. from the title approval and all. Kasi super saya ng experience. Yung kapag usapang thesis, may maishe-share ka. At super proud kami ni Van sa study namin. We know damn well why. The whole process itself, dami nain experience na worth keeping, people na nakilala along the way, AT Van and I became closer. This whole thing talaga is something to be proud of. :)

Jen texted me kanina, asking me how's my lovelife. Pakasalbahe lang, ang daming itatanong yun pa. :P Well, I just answered her, "I'm inspired". At totoo naman, somebody is making me inspired lately. Bakit ba kasi kapag "inspired" yung term, dapat ba love life agad? Hindi ba pwedeng, someone who makes you think that you are capable of doing something great. :) Basta yun na yun. sya na yun. Ako at si God na alng nakakaalam who HE is.
