Why do politicians keep their focus on passing new bills or laws when we have tons but aren't implemented correctly or at all?
Shouldn't we put more emphasis on pushing for law implementation rather than creation of new laws?
If ever, why not add or improve already existing laws in order to ensure that it is still applicable in the present time rather than just that time when it was passed?
I wonder why up to now, jeepneys can still go around the metro without headlights, why they still can just stop in the middle of the street and unload passengers? And to think, this does not even concern the law but common sense and courtesy to other people.
Argh. Not to mention, motorcycles who think that they are exempted to basic rules and regulations. BASIC is the operative word here. C'mon!!!
Sometimes, driving gets so frustrating it's not even worth it.

Running a race with Time.
Countless days have passed. I can't even remember. The last time I felt.. uhh.. "zest"(?) for living. It seems time was literally going too fast that I can't even enjoy the ride. Life is a ride, enjoy it. I've been a believer of this ever since I decided not to stress too much on things that I can't control. But this is a whole different situation, this is a situation that I don't even know how to deal with. It's like I'm at a total loss..
I remember, the other day, I was about to fall into a deep sleep. I was dreaming as early as that. I was in a car and I was driving, driving hella fast. And I closed my eyes, without my control. So I could not see a thing! I just know that I was going way too fast and I wasn't slowing down. I tried to open my eyes but my eyelids would not follow my command. I was scared for my life. Even if it was in the dream. I mean would you wanna die in your dream?? I think no one would want to. The odd thing about this is that I knew that it was a dream. And I was thinking aloud to myself that I had to move my arm in my real life to jerk me out of that dream before I was dead!!! I didn't know how my mind made it happen but it happened and I was breathing heavily when I woke up. It made me not sleep again for a while.
That's how I feel right now. This very moment, this very minute. Up to this second, I know time goes by so fast and I want to soak up every moment of it. I have tons to do but I cant let those stop me from enjoying my life.
Procrastinating. That's what I'm doing. And I know this. Still I'm not doing anything about it. That's why everyday I keep wishing for some time alone. In a beach with no distractions. Just me, a good book, good weather, with peace and quiet. And if anybody would want to spend time with those too, then they're welcome to join me. But I need time to recharge. I'm getting emptied out. I know this is bad, but if I stop, it's like stopping in the middle of a treadmill run, I know I'm gonna slip and fall and I cannot afford that, I think.
Wooooozah. woooooozah. Need time. I have it. I'm just always chasing it. It's pretty tiring. If only the effects of all that chasing would manifest in real life, I'd be totally hot! Hahahaha!

This is what makes me do my job
Assessment week is halfway done.
Learning is such an integral part of being a teacher, because not only do you impart knowledge and show children the how things around them work, but everyday you learn something new that the kids have taught you, or it can also be that the children may have contributed in the universe's plot to teaching you that something.
Its such an indescribable feeling to have when you see your student show you that he knows something you never thought he knew before. You'd realize that that kid who was just sitting quietly in the corner while all his other classmates play and socialize with each other, are just taking in everything that he sees around him. It's such a damning feeling to know how much influence you have on young children.
It makes me think, that so much responsibility is placed on our shoulders when we agree to care for young children. why do we do it? because we want to contribute. our little effort can go a long way. it may be a long time before we see its effects, but the fact that we know that we did something, just makes every morning worth waking up to.

Life is..
...full of opportunities to have a change in perspective.
...always has a funny way of showing you the right way to go.
...filled with surprises that can literally leave you utterly speechless.
...caught up with its own timing and pacing.
...like a preschooler. it has the temperament of a child who is as if solving an unsolvable puzzle.

"You had me at Pinky Swear."
Haha.
Just reading it makes me smile and utter the words, "I cannot believe.."
I never thought it was that long ago since he felt that way. It's weird. Haha. I was so clueless.
I have a lot of things to be thankful for. I know that. But sometimes I forget. Words like these make me get right back on track.
Love my life.

I WANT TO BE A TEACHER!
This is the mantra that I say to myself whenever I find myself overwhelmed with all the things that I have to do in the preschool and whenever homework surges in from grad school. How the hell can I have a life then?
But, I know, that if life was easy, then everybody would be happy. If studying and teaching at the same time were easy, then everybody would be doing it. It can be difficult to balance, but its relatively doable. There are times that we need to remind ourselves why we're doing what we're doing, so even if the road is hard on you, you can struggle out of it and proceed. we can't easily let go of our lifelong dream just because its hard one time.
Be stronger than you think you are. Extend more patience than you think you have. We are not perfect, there would be days when we feel weak, powerless and our temper is short, but let's not let that happen everyday of our lives. if not, what a sad life that must be to lead.
Think of what you can do not only for yourself but also for others. It's okay to plan for tomorrow, but it's not okay to let today go and not live in the present. Cos we never know when our tomorrows might end.
