Passport #2

Hello reader :)

Here's another passport because it's Wednesday. Honestly, I almost forgot about this :P Summer has been very uninteresting. Now i know that boredom really kills you, gosh, you have no idea how crazy I am already. I'm just really happy that I have my football addiction to keep me sane and the company of my cousins.

I jogged this morning in manila memorial park. It's a cemetery but people really go there for jogging purposes as well, haha. So don't be weirded out or something. But then it rained a bit so we had to stop and find shelter in one of the 'houses of the dead'..haha guess what, we found shelter in Ninoy Aquino's tomb. astigerz! haha.

You know what I hate about memorial park or cemeteries like that? The tombs are so grand, I mean they're like houses. Some even have ac and restrooms which i find really unfair. A lot of families in the country are dying because they don't have houses to live in yet you see these dead bodies placed in structures, houses...whatever you call it that are even better compared to the houses of people who are actually...alive :| I Know that we have to respect the dead, but really...having those kind of structures built for them is exagge.

the world is unfair...so don't expect her to be fair to you.

I think it's just really giving your best in everything...everything that's good and life-giving. I guess everything will be okay because at the end of the day even if you're dead tired you can still smile at the world coz you've made people happy.

“We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.”

“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.”
