Can't Do Much on a Rainy Monday

It's raining.. again! Kahit it's already in the news na umalis na daw si bagyong Goring. And it's another manic Monday. Start of the week, start of work.

Though I have nothing against working, pero kahit sino tanungin mo, everyone hates Monday. Kung tao lang siguro si Monday, matagal na siguro syang outcast sa lipunan. Lahat ayaw sa kanya. So what could be a better way para wag i-hate si Monday? 

Don't think it's another 5 days of work. What I do is I always look forward for the weekends, kahit kadarating lang ng Monday. Isipin ko pagpasok ko mamaya, 4 days na lang weekends na naman ulit! I don't dwell much on Mondays. Humahaba lang yung takbo ng araw at oras. 

Since I'm working on a graveyard shift, I always think of it this way. After 4 hours of work, maya-maya Tuesday na, and tomorrow is Wednesday na! Ang bilis di ba? And I always think, not of work, but the things I'll be doing come weekends. 

So kahit pasimula pa lang ang week ko and papasok pa lang ako mamaya at umuulan pa.. keribells lang! Lilipas din ang Monday..

Declutter.Destress.Defining the new Me.

Declutter. (vb. to simply get rid of a mess)

Di ko namalayan, tambak na ang mga bagay na di ko na pala kailangan sa buhay ko. Mga bagay na pilit kong itinago at inipon sa aking alaala sa pagbabakasakaling pwede ko pa syang sariwain sa mga darating na panahon. Pero hindi na pala. So, ano pang gamit ng mga bagay at alaalang ito? Naisip ko di ko na rin naman sya mapapakinabangan. Di ko na rin kailangan pang alalahanin. Naisip ko na syang alisin, nang permanente, sa buhay ko. Tama na ang matagal na paghihintay  sa muling pananariwa ng mga alaala. Hindi sa nawawalan ako ng pag-asa, pero alam kong wala ng patutunguhan. At di ko naman pinangarap na habambuhay na maghintay. Maraming surpresa ang naghihintay sa akin. Yun ang mas dapat kong unahin at bigyang halaga.

De-stress. (to release bodily or mental tension)

Sa sobrang ginawa kong pre-occupied ang sarili ko sa mga bagay na di naman nararapat bigyang-pansin, unti-unti kong nararamdaman ang stress sa katawan ko. Nanghihina, nanlulumo, nalulungkot. Mga katangiang di ko ninais makamtan at maramdaman. Kahit kailan di ko pinangarap na makita ang sarili kong namumuhay ng miserable. Sino ba ang may gusto? Kaya kung ganyan lang din ang mga kinakaharap ko, mas mamabutihin kong gumawa ng aksyon. Free my body and thoughts from all these pain and emotions. Dun papasok ang pag-destress. Libangin ang sarili. Look for other diversions. Wag hayaan ang sariling malugmok sa mga di kanais-nais na emotions. Ang kailangan lang ay oras at ang willingness na libangin ang sarili. Di kailangan gumastos o lumayo pa. Ang mahalaga nag-enjoy ka at napawi mo ang mga kalungkutan. At ang matapos ang araw na masaya ka.

Defining the new Me.

Sa ngayon, di ko pa mahanap ang exact definition kung sino ako. Pilit lang ako sumasakay sa agos ng buhay. Ngunit di ko hinangad na mamuhay sa anino ng ibang tao. Lahat naman ng tao may sariling identity. Sariling uniqueness. Di ko kailangan na makilala at maging sikat. Ang importante may mga taong nakapalibot sa akin at patuloy na nagsusuporta at nagmamahal. Ang mahalaga nai-enjoy ko ang bawat minuto sa piling nila. Hindi ako perpekto para maghangad ng lahat para masabi kong kumpeto ang buhay ko. Walang ginawa ang Diyos na perpekto. Kung anuman ang wala ako sa ngayon, di ko yun kailangang gawing big deal. Mas mag-focus na lang sa kung ano ang meron ako sa kasalukuyan at kung paano ko pa ito mapagbubuti. 

Ang kaligayahan di mo masusukat. Dahil ikaw ang gumagawa ng kaligayahan mo. Di mo kailangan makipagkumpetensya sa iba, sa kung sino ang mas masaya at sino ang hindi. Hanggat maligaya ang pakiramdam ko, lingid man sa kaaalaman ng iba, ipagpapatuloy ko ito. Ako lang ang bukod tanging makapagsasabi kung ano ang makapagpapaligaya sa akin. Di ko masabi kung ano o sino, basta ng importante masaya ako.

4-0

Hats off to Phil Azkals!

Have heard of them, known some of them but haven't had the time, nor the chance, to watch any of their  games. Not until today. Their game against Sri Lanka.

My mom and brother were watching, and I am just busy over something, paying no attention at all on the television. Not until I heard the screaming. So I chance upon it and didn't notice my eyes were all glued on the tv. Then I happened to notice the game's being played here in the country, noticing the Pinoy crowd all gearing to Azkal's goal points.

It left me amazed how quick these players move. It aint just a kick in the ball, but you have to use strategy should you wanna end up winning. Rain or shine, the game is still on. 

I just love how they scored 4 points over a nil against Sri Lankans. You can see the attempts each Azkals has on their mind to score. And it didn't fail them. Plus, the crowd's participation and support made them somewhat challenged to win the game.

I may not be able to know the players by now but I surely will one of these days. I became an instant fan. I started to love football. I started to love these young, good-looking and uber-galing players. And I am definitely looking forward to their upcoming games.

We Filipinos now has something to be proud of. We Filipinos are truly talented and definitely love sports. I just hope this 4-0 would bring the Azkals the courage to take the game to the next level, FIFA championship. I am not saying they can, but I certainly have the hope that these guys would try their very best to be part of the finals.
