Required Entry #7: Change Ahead

There is no permanent thing in this world, even our lives are temporary so it is very important to be open in everything that is ahead of us. Changes will ALWAYS happen. Sometimes, it even occurs in my life in the moments when I least expect it. That is why I learned to consider these changes as challenges in my life. If you approach a challenge with fear, you will most likely fail in overcoming it but if you consider it as an exciting challenge and you tackle everything that comes in your way with a sense of discovery, you are certain to win in the end even if you do some mistakes in the beginning. This is how I approach new things in my life. I never settle for the old stuff because I know that there is always a room for improvement in my life. Every changes is a new chapter in my life, an opportunity to gain knowledge and experiences, a chance to meet new people, discover new places and skills. If you want to make more of your life, you need to get into the habit of creating your own path. Change is the only constant. Change is a door for another opportunity. Life is too short not to deal with this new "adventures" without enjoying it.

Required Entry #6: Daydreaming

I don't usually daydream about stuffs but well, even those who are the most attached to reality find themselves in their own head sometimes. I have this daydream, the only one I could remember, wherein I'm performing in front of a crowd as a dancer. I'm already professional in my daydream, professional both as a performer and as a medical doctor. I have my own house and car in that daydream, of course a very successful young lady but I don't see my own family or the man of my life in it. As ironic as it may be, I think my daydream tells me how focused and driven I'm actually are in my goals in life. Maybe the reason why I don't see a the man for me in my daydreams is that I'm too afraid to fall in love because I know the feeling of getting hurt and it is just a distraction for me. It's probably all about a big promotion or a successful endeavor I've been working towards my life, I like to keep my eye on the prize and my priorities straight, even if I am imagining these realistic events in a fantasy world for comfort and satisfaction until they come true. 

UAAP CDC 2015!

I was disappointed when the UP pep squad wasn't the one declared as the champion of the recently held UAAP Cheerdance Competition because of course, I'm a student of the University of the Philippines. Well not to be biased with the other squads, I watched live in the Mall of Asia Arena and I thought that if our pep squad didn't win, UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe could've. Both teams performed best among the rest. That's why many people were unhappy (including me) when NU won again the competition. I did not expect them to retain the title after several errors during their performance, including one where they failed to complete a pyramid. Other people even said that the competition is cooked or there's already a champion even before all teams performed. Yes, everyone know that they are one of the best who performed last October 3 but I really didn't think that all of their errors still brought to the top. After all, UP Pep Squad and UST Salinggawi performed the cleanest routine and either of them deserved the crown. But on the brighter side, I'm happy because the majority thinks that the performance of UP Pep Squad nailed it and what's important is their advocacy regarding "Equality". I was overwhelmed with the number of people in the arena supporting our Pep Squad and I also think that their theme "Utak at Puso" made their performance even stronger and it made the UP nation unite as one.
