Appreciation

 

It’s always a good feeling to be appreciated for the things that you do have done and for the things that you can do. No matter how small that is, a simple but warm “Thank you” really sounds good to the ears. However, because we live in a material world, we often neglect these two simple worlds because we expect some other things that we deem more satisfying- things that we can grasp with our hands.

Today, I realized the beauty of appreciation. Even the littlest effort for doing something with your own initiative can give you so much satisfaction and inspiration to do more. For the past few weeks, I have been feeling sorry for myself. I have been wondering about what I might have done wrong. Of course, I’ve been wrong a lot of times. However, it’s no longer time for me to regret. I will gain nothing from regret. It is time to be thankful. I should be thankful that I have learned about life and experienced much. There is nothing wrong with being wrong. But we must remember that in these wrongs, there is something right that is hidden and we should be thankful for these “wrongs” when we discover the hidden “right”.

With all these wrongs about me, it’s very pleasing to know that I am still doing some things right. I feel very inspired with every compliment I receive about the talents I posses, or the good shirt I wear, or even a good game when playing sports. It really lifts me up.

I am very happy with how I am doing now and I hope to keep up with how I’m doing. Although not everything in my life is going so well, it helps to think that a part of it is better than the other. I won’t lose hope. Someday, some other part of me will be worse than the other but then again, it just tells me, it’ll all be better soon. And until that time comes, I’ll just learn to appreciate everything else. I’ll just be moving Aunne.

To everyone,

THANK YOU!

How my fanboy self is feeling about Avengers: Infinity War

Just a few weeks ago, Marvel released their biggest production yet. Avengers: Infinity War, as they say, "is the most ambitious crossover ever assembled". And true enough, that ambitious crossover is now a huge success. I'm not really a huge comic book fan and I'm not really familiar with most Marvel characters. However, since the Marvel Cinematic Universe started to take shape, I became really hooked. I have watched almost all the movies and even the TV shows just so I can get even the smallest details that have meaning to the MCU. From Iron man, to Captain America, to Thor, up to the latest episodes Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., I watched them all. Now, this movie puts together these puzzle pieces to form one huge blockbuster hit. As fans, we get to see who would get the honour of playing our favourite superheroes. We get to see how it would look like when they're not just drawn in comic books or animated cartoons. We get to see these heroes as humans...

Dear future self

Hi! how are things going there? I hope you're doing well. I hope you're still working on the dreams that I have. But if not, don't be too hard on yourself. If things are going wrong, don't for get that I've already solved a lot before you got there so why would you give up now? Be strong! Don't forget to reflect on what has happened to you just like what I'm doing now. Don't forget to pray. I don't go to mass on Sundays but I still light a candle almost everyday. That's good enough. Always remember to count your blessings. Always believe in yourself and if you ever doubt yourself, you know a good walk can make you feel better. You'll be alright. I can't say much about you because I haven't known you that much yet but I know whatever happens, you can find a way to smile. Also, please don't forget about the people you love. Cherish them. Your family, friends, the people you work with and the people you will meet. You will learn ...

ORIGINS: The origin of "KAMOTE"

Hello there people!!! today, I was thinking about telling you something informative so here it is: If you know about the sweet potato, in the Philippines we call it "Kamote." But why is it called Kamote? Here's the story of how it came to be. In the land of promise(Cebu) fiestas were very popular. But during the old days, witchcraft was also one of the common practices. Now in one of the places, there was a farmer. He planted very many crops and had so much abundant harvest. The people of the town were very jealous of him because he had more than they had. He was the richest farmer in town. And because of his bountiful harvest, he was able to prepare a lot of food during fiestas. However, there were rumors in town about the visitors never being seen again. There came a time where there was drought during their fiestas but the farmer still had plenty of harvest. an old lady went to visit the farmer's house. the farmer offered her food and was very hospitable to her. ...
