Give it B-R-I-O

We may run out of good vibes and sometimes will drive us nuts, if we look upon this as a burden or restriction from raveling into a perfect pleasure. This may also take us long before we finally decide to hit the pillows every night and acquire those whopping eye bags, whether we like it or not (c'mon let's admit it, we're more into the "not like it" side! haha) O.O. Requires you to give at least the1/4 years of your life span or else, there's a little chance of you getting ahead of anything. But if you take the every moment enjoying this thing like you really have accepted the fact that studying is part of your nature all over, cheers! You're darn lucky 'cause it's dang crazy. How d'ya do that? LOL! :))))

These present couple of days I am having a hard time doing some time management. It's not because I am loaded with a bunch of school works or what (though we still do), in fact I only have some minor adjustments to get nerves with this semester and the thing that merely drains my system is when we only have clinical duties every week. Plus the quizzes and case presentations (if there are). Not that bad of course, but the next sem will be tougher and busier for me coz I'd be a regular student at last. July will soon drop off the line, and this month gave me several free days. All throughout I only have classes every Tuesdays and Wednesdays and just some regular day meetings when we need to finalize a case presentation. Uh huh. Yet I find it harder for me to adjust. Oh why? Why? I am aware of what I should necessarily do especially when reviewing for the exams. I do them but just whenever I'm halfway there to finish and I see something that totally catches my attention and curiosity, I get distracted. Haha me thinks, "I'll go over that thing first and let alone what I'm currently doing be done after a while!" So obvious that pressure is the result at the end of the pursuit. The more or less I have things to accomplish and the more I have vacant time to spare, the more I also stick to the idea of procrastinating them. Oh forgive me for this, eating all the time is also one of my bodily disorders. That hobby eats away my time! Heh I don't know but I get hungry easily everytime. I starve to the nth level when I'm only depressed. Wonderin' why, when I study my lessons I get a grumpy stomach? Therefore I conclude that studying is depression. \m/ :P

Woah. I dunno if those make sense to be written here. Very random and straightforward to say in my part :)) I procrastinate as much as I love to learn :> Oh well hit me on the head big time! But I seriously need to repent because I tend to idle away my time sometimes. And so, repentance shouldn't be procrastinated. First things first! Detour and change for the better. That's a pinky promise to my two little fingers! :)

Here I am with some block mates getting lost off our different worlds because we do case pres and we study hard! We're industrious students you know. Nail that part haha! And btw, I don't really intend to boast here of what I've done.. :( But I just can't believe and I'm just proud of myself, the result of my hardworking days.. :"> I still got a high prelim grade in my major subject despite of. That surprised me. :") Anyway thanks to my added incentive points from joining other school activities! Hahaha. Need to double the effort, diligence and perseverance. And of course, always remain faithful to the Lord. Keep your head high but feet on the ground! School matters. Five callings in the church. Home responsibilities. I can do y'all with the help of my Heavenly Father who strengthens me! :D

Do Something Else. Or Else..


Surely you weren't created for the purpose of having to portray a replica of how your best friend shows his humor, not a bit to impress others by perfectly imitating on how the most popular girls in school do their hairdos and make-ups and that, and those. So why waste time comparing and messing up the whole lot of your self-esteem making trouble what others can do with what you can only do? Or might get lost nowhere with what the people around are bringing about today that you're probably doing too/not doing for the rest of your life?

The answer would be it will be much better if we live our own good pursuits independently away from the you gotta be like that or you should have been like them pressure that would only complicate and destroy the peace in our inner beings. Rowdy voices that are very distracting! Zzzzzz. Snares and gambits that will only divert your right focus to rubbish things. We were distinctly created from each other ever since the world began. Remember? Apparently there were two separate beings, Adam and Eve. Noah was commanded to build an ark. Moses upon the power of God was able to divide the Red Sea for a great purpose. Just like them, we were given different tasks to carry out. Believe in your capacity and don't ever forget to make the best out of it! And please, stop being bothered every now and then that your seatmate's cheating tactics to answer the test questionnaires would lessen your probability of passing the exam. Just because you didn't cheat. Nope.

My dear friend, let us always remember that the only way to succeed is to not worry about what anyone else is doing. What a great principle we can marvel in ourselves. Let us go on and face challenges without an atom of confusion that this life run, is definitely not an Olympic track of you-and-your-fellow competition. If  we choose to get ourselves an eye of being more concerned with what everyone is doing that needs help for improvement, rather than getting affected or conscious of what others might think or the drawbacks and deficiencies that we might observe, this world will be a much better place to live in! Imagine an environment with no envy and "crab mentality." Look beyond a sphere where heartaches, rivalries and hatred have no place to dwell in. How d'ya feel about it? Isn't it perfect like we're living up above clouds embraced by Heaven's love? 

When you're contented and happy with the sole intention of lending your time, effort and talents by helping and serving others, you'll always feel good about yourself. You will become closer to Heavenly Father in a way that you'd only understand if you engage in doing selfless acts. The sweet spirit will radiate in your countenance. Through your glowing light and example, your personal strength could be the source of others' strength too. As you do so, they will see that BIG HEART in you. In that case, you can become an instrument of change in bringing upon the light of the torch to those who are being drawn back from spiritual hunger. With God, nothing is impossible and everything is possible.

So why don't we try minding instead what anyone else is doing, that we should have been doing also so we can become blessings to the lives of others too? Let's rather think about it. :)

The One Big Rule

One of the most priceless possessions one could ever garner in self is the ability to be obedient. With obedience, you are patient at the same time. It is a one way process. Those two qualities get along very well.

The world may be bound into an endless stream of busy streets full of deafening chatters, hassles and blatant noises, that can possibly run down a person's reverent mind. Sounds gross right? But that's the plain truth. Everywhere, in all the corners, may it be alongside or is just fleeting right in front of you, there will always be a situation when your patience to obey is in a major nuisance to be tested. And your initial reaction once encountered will determine the level of how far your temperance keeps you going.

We may differently show how we will respond into that particular test. Out of the midst, however a sown reward is waiting for you to reap only if you let yourself harbor what God has in store for you. Patience and obedience require much self-control and forbearance even in the smallest details of what we are ought to do all the way. We may sometimes feel like giving up, undeniably it's part of the quest. From the simplest occasions we might tend to murmur and complain with the reason we aren't perfect, right? Yet, have we ever rendered ourselves the question, if we know that one of the purposes why we are here on earth is to become perfect just like our Savior Jesus Christ, how come we rationalize that being imperfect human beings could totally compensate our divine roles as subject to perfectionism? If we always keep on justifying our faults in behalf of our disfigurements and frailties, instead of accepting our flaws and do act than react for the better, do we realize that half or perhaps all of the blessings that we could have been enjoying now primarily come from our choice to obey? Basically, you can perfect your weaknesses too and turn them into strengths if you obey what is right.

Obedience needs personal sacrifices. A sacrifice requires patience to do whatever is necessary for the good. And patience, is essential for us to remain obedient despite life obstacles, in order for us to wholly harvest the fruit of labor out of our sacrifices -- combined all in all bring forth blessings.

Same as well, it could be a tool to determine if we are in the deserving position to receive them. We may knock on to our Heavenly Father to grant us the things that we need the most. On purpose, those might not be instantly given to us. But this shouldn't be a reason to get discouraged. At a point, time requires us to wait until God has finally proven we are patient enough to acquire what we have been asking for. The level of your obedience would also figure out the chances of you, having the blessings. The logic is just simple. If you obey, you will be blessed. If you don't, you have no promise.


"One of the greatest blessings man has is the opportunity to be obedient. All of our blessings flow from obedience."


Obedience is the "First Law in Heaven." To obey is a "One Big Rule" to follow!

He is the source of all wisdom. Sure the Lord knows everything. Including what is best for us. He often permits such things we never expect to happen that will work out in His own purpose and due time. Neither we should question, nor to complain. Let us all be subjected to His will. Only if we separate ourselves from the dwindling outside forces and trust in the Lord with all our heart, might, mind and strength, we are always assured of the surest and best way to handle out things around us. When we rest in our Father in Heaven's hands, we are always safe. :)


P.S. I wrote choosing this topic because I was inspired and prompted to do so. Shortcomings have also hit me which I must work upon. I know that writing down my thoughts here would serve as a basis, a constant reminder. Above are some of the things that I am continually striving to perfect, still.
