Live for today

Live For Today -by natalie grant

Sittin' in my room staring at the wall
Wonderin' about the meaning of it all
Why is it this thing called life
Has got me goin' crazy
So I open up your word and let it speak to me
The purpose and the plan that you've designed
Is clear to see, and I believe

Chorus:
I'm gonna live for today
I'm gonna follow in your way
I'm gonna let my little light shine
Like there's no tomorrow
I won't worry about the past
I know my future is intact
So I'll choose to live my life one way
I'm gonna live it for today

You told me not to worry
About what lies ahead
So I am gonna focus on today instead
Making every moment count and counting
Every single blessing
I'm gonna set my mind on the
Here and the Now
This is what I want my life to be about
And this is How...

reality bites.

fyi: i haven't watched that movie yet, by march cguro. (irelevant 'to)

ok, let me get this straight: ito ang mga bagay na madalas naiicp ko

1 week na akong petix, ung nd natutkan ung dapat kong gawin. omigod! anong ginawa ko sa mga araw na lumipas?!pero syempre pasko, cno bang kj ang magpapaka-sipag sa mga panahong un noh?(naicp ko lang) damn it! mabuti na lang, it's never too late to get things done (i'm referring to school stuffs here. ayoko nang isa-isahin, tsk tsk tsk, delikado na.
bsta,k nd ako papasok nang nd ako handa bec of the ff reasons:
1) ayokong ma-okray ng prof sa labor
2) gusto ko nang mag-bagong buhay, this is my last chance to prove myself
3) at dahil last chance ko na, might as well, pagbutihan ko na, di ba?

may mga bagay na kelangan ko pag-ukulan ng pansin aside from my studies. syempre nanjan ang ibang importanteng bagay sa buhay: my personal relationship with god,my friends, family, etc. without them, i won't have the confidence to face my daily struggles. ( i hope that makes sense)

eto ang madalas sumagi sa icp ko: bkt nd ko magawang, ma-attach ulit, emotionally? (u know what i mean). i guess, hinanap ko muna ang sarili ko, bago ko hanapin c ALDO (codename for my ideal guy). now, it's been a while. but it's weird kac, whenever i told myself that i'm ready to take the risk to fall for a person, i would end up realizing that, that person belongs to someone else or after someone else. lagi na lang ganito.
but, i came to point where, i can't fool myself anymore. i have to deal with this. i have to start somewhere. i can't make a person like me. maybe, god wants me to have a "purposeful singleness". maybe, this is not the right time to settle down, as they say, the right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing. there is so much more to see in my life. hard as it may seem, i would not put my life on hold, waitng for that someone. nako, nka-msira ulo ko! if i'm going to calculte the time i've wasted for that someone. bka naka 5 seasons na ako ng OC. so, syang!
I know i'm young, and i'm going to meet more people. i'll meet him cguro when i least expected it. kac, God knows that I love surprises, kaya nga gusto nya i-divert ung attention ko. para nd ako ma dissappoint di ba? well, kelangan ko cguro isang tabi ung mga ganyan, kelangan ko muna icp kung pa'no ako mkaka-tapos.

i don't mind if i'm the most attractive or smartest person in the class. bsta, all i know is i'm real, or i should say original because i don't want others to impose orders on me,and most of all i don't want to become a stereotype...

free!

there's one thing that i want to do right now--- to break away! i want to rechanrge my inner batteries, to recollect my thoughts, and most of all, i want to communicate with God. because of my cluttered life, i want to go and find out what God really wanted to do with my life.

i'm going to graduate this march, and i want to get things done. i want to look back with pride,not with resentment.

a walk in a park will do, basta all i want is to get away from my daily activities, for a moment. i want to clear my mind from worries from school, home, etc.

despite of being a sister, friend, and student--i am ME. I am entrusted with a life that's solely mine.

This is the golden age of my life and i want to make the most out of it. I know that there will always be bad times, but all of these are just transitory, it leaves no permanent mark.

Now, I don't want to think about what other people say about me. I'd rather focus on what God thinks. I don't want to limit myself in my present situation. I know everything will be fine. Whatever happens to me, he will make my path straight.

not another love story

Last week, we were assigned to make our own "make-believe" love story in business communications class. it's not that simple because we have to use at least 9 out of the 12 tenses that we have discussed. The story was inspired by the people that I've met and the people that I want to meet, and my past. I was really meticulous with my choice of words because I assume that my professor doesn't want to read a mediocre work. On the other hand, I don't want my work to become cheap.(like those "pang-katulong" stories) Yes, I admit, I'm not a prolific writer, but I can still write substantially.
It was not a typical love story that you see in movies. It's very plain and doesn't have any twists at all---because I don't have enough time to polish it.
