anong ginagawa sa taong andaming ginawang problema pero tatakbo pagkatapos?

in less than 8 hours, 2010 leaves and becomes part of history, while 2011 comes and is about to make its mark on history.

another 365 days is going to pass, and tons and tons of experiences will finally be left along with the year.

but of course, from those experiences, we should grasp upon what we desire to bring onto the next year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

volunteerism?

No, it's not really about public service. i\It's not necessarily a topic that's associated with people. Rather, it's a topic associated with time. Yes, TIME.

How can you relate volunteerism with time? By voluntarily allotting time to work to help people? Possibly. But let's take things into a larger and more general scale: volunteering to use your time wisely.

It's an obvious and famous quote: "Time is Gold". We should maximize our time usage by doing necessary, uplifting things. But how do we do it? How do we spend time wisely? To be more concise, how do we define wise usage of time? It took me a lot of time to process this, but it's really what I think is the perfect definition: Enjoying yourself at the moment whilst assuring yourself that your future will also be worth living. Argue if you wish. Why only consider the present and the future? Simple. Because the past will be talked about in a reflective manner. Or in other words, you look into the past to verify if what you did was according to the definition.

Well, let's look at the other side: how do you voluntarily WASTE your time? It's not enough for me to simply look at the brighter side of life. Yeah, we should live on the brighter side, but how can we do that if we don't avoid the darker side? I would like to expand on this thought, but I would just prefer to shorten it out, since time is ticking and I'm getting a little bit sleepy: you waste time if you do something you don't really need (even though you enjoy it), and by doing that you waste the time for other things that you need to do in order to enjoy yourself. Complicated sentence huh?

Since we unavoidably involuntarily waste time, why should we voluntarily waste it? Remember that time is irreplaceable. So I come to this standpoint: as much as possible, spend your time wisely.

when do you have the time to talk to yourself, to God? simple. it's when you're alone. it's obviously not the case when you're in the church with some other people, obviously because: 1) you do things that other people just do; 2) you would probably go there just to meet with people; or 3) you really do it, bravo! you have the talent to exalt yourself from the people around you and enable yourself to talk with God, with no distractions being able to bother you.

following from this topic, what do you tell yourself when you have the facilities to do so? do you talk about games, sports, news, fashion, furniture, etc? do you feel that talking to yourself that way actually makes sense?

a peek on what we can think of: people always want something. and in order to attain it, they have to work for it. now here's the question: do you work for it? is your work ethic enough to achieve what you want? what benefits can you have when you attain such a thing? hmm.

malapit na pasko...
