Happy new ear!

A friend asked me what my new year’s resolution is, since it seems like everyone has them.

It took me a (long) while to realise that I really had none. Each day I have a goal to achieve, so I guess more than a year’s resolution, I have a bunch of new day’s resolution.

Then I remembered last new year’s sermon. Then I got it - my new year’s resolution.

I vow to have a happy new ear!

And it’s no typo error. I really had to drop the “Y.”

At times we need to drop some things to get new ones.

This year I vow to get new thoughts, new things to think about, and new ways to think.

Renewal of self starts from the renewal of the mind, after all.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing
of your mind… Rom 12:2

And since thoughts start to burn from within, though actually gets ignited from outside, I would need to watch vigilantly what things I let inside.

I’ve realised that my growth, be it intellectual, physical, and spiritual, comes from what I see, hear and feel. For me the biggest challenge is filtering what I hear. Voices do come convincingly in all treble and notes.

Do not pay attention to every word people say… Ecc 7:21

Most people guard their hearts from hurt, others guard their wallets from theft, and since my heart is already taken and my wallet really has nothing in it, the only thing I’d have to guard is what I hear. Influence starts from what one hears. Politicians make use of this feat fully.

And as such that I choose who I listen to, I’d have to choose what I let others hear from me too.

And as I need all the inspiration I need next year for work and all that life decides to throw my way, I try to be wary with pessimists. We need them to give us a reality check, but we do not need them to put all our hopes down. They can be such energy vampires.

I’m starting the new year with a positive attitude and thus try to listen to the tiniest needle drop of positivity even in the most negative of situations.

…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

Thus, when people say, “lend me your ears,” make sure you lend them to those who speak of good things.

Happy new EAR everyone!

Define "merry" ang pasko

Kanina pako umiiyak. At hindi namn talaga ako iyakin.

Bakit ako umiiyak? dahil sa trabaho. Sa limang taon ko sa medical research, alam ng lahat na kulang nalang sa opisina ako tumira. Though minsan talaga nag home based ako at para lang akong helpdesk na naka 24/7 online lalo na pag may telecons ng madaling araw kasama ang foreign counterparts.

Sa ilang taon ko sa industriyang ito, ngayon lang ako napaiyak ng ganito. Ayaw ko kasi na may masasabi sa trabaho ko. Ayaw kong mapupulaan. Kahit may mga pagkakataong tinatamad talaga ako at petiks lang, babawi naman ako ng todo todo sa kalaunan. Pero gaya ng pagkakataon ngayon, may pasyente na kelngan ko ialis sa study. Wala naman ako magawa kasi un ung sabio ng kano kong mga boss. Syempre nagalit si doc. Naintindihan ko naman pero ang kinaiyak ko lang talaga nung sabihing hindi daw ako makontak at parang napa inutil ko namang mag manage ng study. Syempre hindi nman nya un sinabi verbatim, pero un lang naipahiwatig nya.

Naiyak ako dahil wala akong kalaban laban o kontrol naman sa sitwasyon. Ayaw ko ng ganong feeling.

Ay basta, ang dami kong naka line up na post at hindi ko talaga gustong gawing online journal tong blog ko. Kung mapapansin nyo, konti lang about personal life maliban sa family ko ang laman ng blog na to. Pero hindi ko mapigilan. Siguro maliban sa mga random thoughts ko, mas makakakita kayo ng mga personal updates nadin sa buhay ko next year.

Ano mababago sa susunod na taon? Madami.

Syempre dadating na si Mik, mukhang madaming parties nanamn na gagawin, at mukhang mas magtatantrums ako ng mas madalas, sana lang may kabinet sa kung saan ako abutan ng tantrums ko. Kung hindi nyo alam ang storya ng kabinet, maswerte kayo. haha.

Yun lang. Ang saya ng pasko na ito. Wala pa din akong nabibiling regalo sa kahit kanino. Pero sa mga kaibigan ko, alam nyo naman na sobrang mahal ko kayo. Pwede namn ako magbigay ng regalo kahit hindi pasko. Actually mas madalas ko namang iparamdam na spesyal kayo pag walang okasyon (me ganon? drama lang amf! haha).

O sya, o sya. Maligayang pasko ulit.

Shitfull Holidays ya'h farts!

Toilet's been clogged these days. But before I forget to greet ya'll...

"If you believe, clap your hands."

You're all prolly familiar with the story. Fairies will die if you don't believe in them.

Same thing goes with our lives. When you stop believing in something, it slowly fades away, till it cease to exist. Like love and friendship.

(un lang, balik out of order na ulit ang toilet lol)

Toilet out of order

As always, I've got a crazy schedule this month. Year end toilet clean ups usually do the trick.

This toilet will be on blog holiday till the 3rd week of December but would like to thank new found blog friends who were able to pee or poop here and there.

If you don't find updates here, you know my facebook, see you at U-blog, or an sms or an email would usually reach me fastest.

Lastly, I would like to promote some good cause organized by friends:

1. Project Smile

and

2. JGC's Christmas outreach

Please do check out their link for details on how to support. For those who volunteered for JGC's, see you there!

*Toilet thoughts, flushing out*
