Bounce Back!

I am not angry, I'm just disappointed!!! So what? lol...

It's from a movie I've watched before, the sad thing is that I can barely recall its title. Well anyways, I wrote this article upon seeing a music video of my favorite band. They do rock and roll songs, their lyrics are quite interesting that focus on life and relationships. They convey an obviously good message. For them, it's just like, one could never know the meaning of happiness unless he'd been extremely down before. Astonishingly, they manage to dodge from the state of pandemonium and excel in their music.

Being a nerd that I am, my curiosity got me to delve on some information and see what the mighty world wide web has to say about them, and I am surprised of what I had just found out.

So, are they really one of those persons who are always angry and complain too much about life and all the bags of shits it offers?

Not exactly. They're artistic, musically inclined indivudual, sometimes mad, yet they tremendously improve their madness, to move in a positive spin. Brilliant, ain't it???

I bet you had read inspirational books and listen to some talks and stories, or maybe had been a part of a crowd that tackles life coaching and conseling, well those things are awesome, they squirm one's reason, and absolutely a good source of motivation to bounce back from a life full of mayhem. Guess that's what the art of listening do. It will superbly change one's mental map.

On a flip side, I am really surprise how some people excel from a problematic stage using an unusual pattern.

Wanna hear some???

Just because you're mad doesn't mean that you can't do any good. There's nothing to be ashamed in it.  Stay in it for as long as needed but be careful with your actions. They say that everybody experiences anger and frustration and disappointment everyday; in school, at home, on the road and even during a conversation. It's everywhere, and  what makes it even worst is when you are as meek as a lamb, oblivious of the world and suddenly, somebody's accusing you that you did a something wrong, as if murdered someone. Crazy, ain't it? It's disgusting and so unnerving.

Moreover, when one understands "anger" it could be a channel to something positive. They mentioned that motivation comes in various forms. Being mad causes drastic changes in a person but one has to see it and use it in a different perspective. Anger can spur the moment causing one to make poor choices but with the right focus and energy, it constantly boosts one to act and do things that he can't do before. Anger and depression just like feeling of pleasure and happiness are obviously opposite, going in different direction. However, in a certain manner, both are just like an unstoppable force to change and bounce back. Using anger to benefit oneself when you need motivation can help one let go of anger and be more in control of it.

So know why you're angry and stay focused, you could might as well do the same thing they did, in a scale you'd never notice before in your life...:)

Walk

We do have different walks to take, they say. And within each step, we mark some footprints...

An idea was brought out as I was browsing on some picture and it drove to write an article about this person. It was all instant, and was so surprising...

...the walk...

This guy knows all fields of endeavor one could possibly know, he's been through different struggles before yet he'd never grew tired of moving forward in his life. There's this one time that he'd share some of his poignant stories and to tell you honestly, no one could go even further to the life he'd walk before. And if you insist on knowing the true definition of the word "change", go and asked him.

I've known him for almost ten years now and it was unexpected we'd met but this man has a big heart that is always willing to share to needy people, well maybe it's because of how his family brought him up to this life. He really is a generous giver. 

Frankly speaking, three particular things will cross your mind upon hearing the name "KUYA IAN" in the whole circle of friendship... 

1. Food trip        - he's a very good cook

2. Relaxation        - he's a nature lover

                                       

3. Reggae music    - the beat blows his mind

Ooppss!!! I think I'm missing something... hahaha!!! Of course...

                    4. Beer and Brandy  - to relieve tensions of all sorts

But you know what??? They say that birds of the same feather flock together right??? I think it's not applicable all the time. This guy is a married man and is facing full responsibility for his family but still he finds time for us and enjoys our company. Great fun of course!!!

...surfing lessons with Batong... hehe

He's a great listener and it's one of the few reasons why people like him, I suppose. He's a clever one. You're not gonna have any dull moments, every single minutes will be spend to laugh about crazy jokes about crazy people. Crazy but it makes sense. He often slated weekend meetings with the some of his close friends to talk and share stuff. He manages his own bar and restaurant. 

... hell no! that's not Capt. Jack Sparrow...

Well, that's about it! Just wish we could always go back to your place and taste the true meaning of life and enjoyment.

You did share your cheerful oasis of friendship to us and we are proud of you!!! 

Perfect

He is seated fourth from the left, first row or column? Well I am not exactly sure but this guy is such a brilliant mind when it comes to memorizing history, geography and all current events happening all around the globe. All my classmates reckon that he will probably put it at the top in the right time and indeed, he got it. lol...

This person truly learns the language of listening and his keen discernment is so evident till now. I reckon that we are all really blessed to have been under a catholic school before but as far as I remember, we are not so serious that time about the "daily bread" that everybody keeps on sharing at school. Maybe that's about it; realization is always at the last part. I often wonder why? lol...

Well to make the story short, this article is for the third placer in my Friends Forever Most Affluent batchmates. The third spot in the podium belongs to this guy...

Ola señiorito...lol..

...at the beach...

This guy is a complete package... he really is!!! I mean given a chance to be out there, every freakin' girl out of nowhere would probably grab him out. Life maybe is sometimes all about who got lucky and who's not.  I reckon were all sleeping that time when "blessings" are pouring down, but he's out there and it all rained on him.



...adjusting the angle...

Marvin, 28, is a businessman who is very consistent with his decision pattern and always looking for ways to indulge himself to his field of work, which is business. This guy is burning and smoking hot with ideas to make it and be a part of a challenging market of today. I heard from some old friends that he, aside from being employed by a prestigious company, is now on his track starting his own way and creating his own mark on the business road. 

...the post of the year...

Everybody else did things he did, but he's totally different and there's  this thin dividing line that makes him different from all. Eventhough he is running a busy street right now. He could still cool down and have fun with friends, families and loved ones. He hangs out with old buddies, put on weights and exercise and rejuvenates himself with a touch of fresh air and a pleasant way of living in the middle of this hectic world.

You deserve a round of applause sir! Very impressive!!! :)

Jaunt

Perhaps the best thing for everyone to do after a strenuous weekdays is to sit down and relax, ain't it right...? 

But what will you do if you are completely surrounded with people who never seemed to run out of things to do???

...the scoreboard...

You would definitely get persuaded by the idea and would probably think of joining the club. lol...

...rey and yen...

I meet some really good friends the time I moved in my workplace, and ever since that day, they were there for me always, helping me put my things in order. They are cool friends, very generous and kind. They are full of cool ideas. They never seem to run out of things to do. They used to explicate me things as to where to put and place myself the right way. They sometimes sound like one of my parents who keep on reminding me and I really appreciate it.

..putting on the combination shot...

It was one dull and lazy Saturday when we decided to pack our things and tried playing games. First, we played bowling for a couple of hours and tried billiards. We checked and went on some bars to enjoy the night as well. It was total fun and was so exciting.

...the mastermind...

The short journey we had was really thrilling and refreshing and we'd all wish it'd happen again soon...:)

Fifth

Another month's gone...

HAPPY FIFTH MONTH "Make a Difference"!!!

Happy to know that it's been this long now...

I am somewhat speechless and don't know what to write next but I think its normal that way "complacency". People sometimes feel it. People sometimes are complacent and are too unaware of the existing situation. lol...

I really don't know why that word came up and cross my mind, but I do know ways on how to overcome it. Hope this song adds up some motivation on me... :)

                                        

Appointment

Just recently, people of Thailand cast their votes for their new leaders...

It was a  peaceful and successful election but different speculations were drawn though. The battle for the top position in their government was of course the highlight of the said event. And luckily, the first female Prime Minister took the stage. Her name is Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

On top of her priority was to lead the country to unity and reconciliation which is a boon in these times. Yingluck, 44, never held a government post and some people said that she is inexperience yet she looks so eager to prove herself in leading the country.

Elections, just like in any other countries are totally cruel and sometimes bloody. But Thai people prove it wrong. One thing I really like about them was their sense of honesty.

Good luck Thailand!!!

Fourth of July

Today, America is commemorating its Independence Day.

The day seemed eventless and I was talking with my American co-teacher when the idea came. He shared that this day is their Independence Day which is a National holiday. It was a topic of resemblance with my previous post about the Philippine Independence Day so I took my opportunity to ask him how most Americans spend the day.

He said that their "Independence Day" is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecue, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies.

It's been 235 years since they had it. It was the 4th of July 1776 when the Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence document and from that time on, they gather together every Fourth of July to show their respect and praise and patriotism to their country's pride, history, society and people.

Happy Fourth of July!!!
