kapag tayo sinabihan ng "hindi natin gusto", iisipin nila, your words are nasty or that you are a bad person. We must learn to accept criticism, this will help us to improve. I received a lot of that, like when someone insulted my work during college days when I really believed it was perfectly done, I wanted to curse that person coz it feels terribly bad, but then, taking it negatively won't change anything. Why not take it possitively and use this as your motivation to improve? Take time to think, that person might be right afterall. Hindi pwdeng lagi yung gusto natin ang maririnig natin. Kasi kung ganon lang, get a recorder, utuin mo yung sarili mo paulit ulit.
I received so many criticisms from my friends regarding my manner of speaking. Napaisip ako, kasi para sakin, it's natural(an honest way of saying things - straightforward/frank) but for other people iba na yung dating(offensive!). Kung isa lang siya, d ako maniniwala, pero dahil marami sila, they might be right. So what i did? Sometimes I would rather not talk if I can't find the right words to say. It's hard to remain silent when you know something must be said! Change doesn't happen overnight. It's indeed a very very long way to go most especially when you've been like that eversince.

Too Insensitive? Or They're just too sensitive?

Knowing your priorities
July is coming!!! I knew so many things are about to happen. I just can't say it here.
I think this is a sign to take a break. I am planning to shift into a different career. With too many things to do, i can't get started. I knew I must slow down and not rush everything, but I felt like as if I am wasting too much time. Well, eventually, I am wasting time now.
I don't know my priorities, I make everything my priorities!
A week ago, I was desperately finding ways to get my euro trip come true, but just yesterday, when I was in the church, I realized that I cannot make all things happen in one time.
I still have a pending application for Japan Volunteering that will last for 3-4 months of 2014.
I also have an application in Thailand this year. I want to make all this possible.
I also need to accomplish my IELTs this August. But then, I have to enroll for a review classes.
And I also have a Japanese and Mandarin classes to attend. And another English proficiency class. I must also finish the educational units I enrolled in PWU which is due to be finished this coming September. And of course, I can't make this possible if I don't have a job.
Right now, I am planning to take a homebased job to support all my studies and of course to be able to pay my dues.
I can't work in the office since I'll be always out of the country, and no job will let me do this.
I guess what I have to do first is to know my goal. I'm torn honestly. I knew I wanted to get away. Escaping won't solve every problem, but sometimes, it's a great way to give yourself peace of mind. To give yourself a time to think.
I'm not getting any younger, so I wanted to do all this. Maybe then, I'll find what I've been looking for. Coz honestly, contentment is something I haven't feel yet. I always feel something is missing, that this isn't the life I've always dreamed of. I must find it myself. I just hope when I found it, its not too late.
