Random Thoughts 1 s. 2016

• That rare moment when you find yourself teary-eyed while traveling alone onboard a PUV, for reason you don't exactly know of -- ganun pala 'yun -- nakaka-inis na ewan.
• I feel frustrated over a lot of injustices that I notice. Sa totoo lang, nakakapagod magsalita at mag-advocate ng empowerment kung nakikita, naririnig at nararamdaman mo personally 'yun opposite nito. 
• 'Yun ma-judge ng ibang tao kahit hindi ka naman libro, at kahit na kakarampot lang naman ang alam nila sa pagkatao mo? Sanay na ako dyan. Sa totoo lang, nakamadismaya rin minsan; lalo na kung wala naman talagang basehan. 
• Hindi ako saint. Hanggat maaari ayaw ko ng confrontation, pero napapagod rin ako na intindihin ang mga taong sarado utak at walang naririnig kung hindi sarili nila. I don't want to be arrogant and boss around pero may tinatawag naman na umaabuso na -- 'wag mo kong gawing doormat, 'wag mong ibintang sa akin ang kung ano ang actual mong ginagawa sa akin, at 'wag kang masanay na maging arogante sa akin. Mind you, when I keep quiet it means I am keeping myself from shattering all your delusions of brilliance and might with what I might utter out of exasperation. I want to act like a civilized human being but there is always what we call the end of the rope.
• Minsan naiisip ko kung paano kaya kung naging selfish na lang ako sa maraming bagay? 
• There is that empty feeling when someone dear to you suddenly acts as if you don't exist at all. 
• Power and fame -- some people will do anything to wield and grab both at whatever cost.
• Salamat kay Kung Fu Panda -- for reminding me that in the midst or all the chaos in this world and on my mind, all I have to do is to take time to breathe, calm down, and find that inner peace. #
