When The Day Does Not Go Well - Pray!

I always find myself, well at least most of the time, I do wake up feeling and knowing that no matter how the day will go, I will choose to be happy. Unfortunately, my happy pill wore off today. Today is not one of them.

I wish I can share what's bothering me but I find it too personal to reveal in my blog. I guess I'll just fix it on my own. I always turn to God when I feel negative and today is quite difficult because I have to carry not just my cross but someone I love as well.

I just pray that I can get out of this victoriously as I have managed in the past because God has always guided me through my most trying times. Today is not an exemption. I just pray that tomorrow will be a  new day with new hopes and new chances.

Think Before You Post

I was just watching the news about a foreigner dissing my home country - the Philippines. I don't want to glorify that person by naming him so I am sure that you have read this already in the news and this topic has been trending well in the social network sites. So, to cut to the chase, this foreigner posted a video about the many things he dislikes about my country. There are very few adjectives said to uplift the image of the country but mostly disgraceful.

Of course, when Filipinos like myself and other foreigners who feel otherwise about my country started to bombard the culprit, he was quick to retract and apologised publicly. Common now, you know this will become an issue! Who posts videos that are discriminating and racist and expect people not to take them seriously? I know to each his own and people are entitled to his or her opinion but if you hated my country that much, why did you even stay there for several years?

My country is not perfect or even close to that but which country is? Yours? I always believe that if you have nothing good to say, just say nothing. There's no need to bad-mouth the place that gave you home and took you in like you're one of its own for several years. Be grateful.

Anyway, the moral of the day is think before you post. Like what I did just now. I thought before I posted this and so should YOU!

Judgmental People

I am not a hater. I am usually unassuming but there are people who really get into my nerves by being judgmental, opinionated, control-freaks and jumping to conclusion.

They are everywhere in this place. Sometimes, I cannot help but feel a peeved and upset. I know I shouldn't be affected by these kinds of people but seeing them everyday makes a big difference, in a negative manner.

They said, people who are judgmental are usually losers who have their own insecurities. I am beginning to believe that. I see them everyday and how they treat people is a manifestation of their deviation.

The world will be a better place if these people can keep their opinions to themselves. There are things that is acceptable to say but to quickly pass on a judgment without knowing the real person or the real deal is outright bad.

How do they actually sleep at night aside from closing their eyes? Gosh, get a life judgmental people! We only live once so try to be happy and focus that judgmental energy to something kinder and positive. Humbags!

Not Feeling Positive

I have been feeling a little blue for 2 weeks now. I cannot understand why. I think (and slightly feel) that I may be entering the "passage" or "menopausal" stage. 

I have always been an "irregular" person. Sometimes I will not have period for 3 months in a row but I have ceased menstruating for some time now. I already saw a doctor and said I was still not into menopausal. However, 2 years ago, I started feeling hot flushes and would fan myself incessantly even if the aircon unit was in full blast and on the lowest temperature.

I cannot take any hormonal pills due to my hypertension so I have to really lose weight to see if my period will come back.

I am also emotional lately and very quick to get irate. I am normally a docile person but this is really different. I am always perky and see the "glass half full." Lately, that is not the case. I just feel gloomy and lacking enthusiasm in most of the things I do. The only thing that excite me at the moment is our family's vacation trip because I really need to change my scenery or I will go crazy.

Hmmmm, strange. I wonder if I will snap out of this. I hope it's just temporary. I don't like feeling bleak. I miss my upbeat personality but I can't force myself to be one at the moment. Bummer...
