Random.

I once was a fan of colored nails. But ever since I started working and especially when I entered the academe, I found it (personally) inappropriate to maintain colored nails (I didn't want my students to be distracted with my colored nails while I'm discussing). Anyways, I don't know why but I was suddenly tempted to PAINT my nails RED. I then gave in to the temptation. I still got one week before classes start once again and I could enjoy watching my nails until then. :))

Hard on the Outside. Soft in the Inside.

Real Steel (2011). Casts Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lilly, and Dakota Goyo.

I judge a movie based on its title alone. However, today, that changed. I was on my usual Saturday routine and the TV on the waiting area of in the clinic was tuned into Real Steel. The title didn't look appealing to me but since everyone else was watching it and since it's Hugh Jackman on screen, I watched it anyway. It took me around ten minutes to realize that the movie isn't just about boxing robots but it also tells of a father and son story. And even though I only watched the movie for around thirty minutes (I had to run errands in between), I fell in love with Charlie, with Max, with Atom - with the whole movie! Luckily, it was shown again on TV tonight and I watched it again up till the end. It was a really touching story. I wouldn't mind watching it all over again.

PS. This movie made me realize what it means when someone says, "He was so beautiful."

ADAM.

I never had this much reblogs and likes until I posted something about Adam. :))

Your dreams may not be possible now, but it eventually will. Just hold on to it and never let anything get in the way. Just leave it all up to Him and He'll work it out. Remember, God's time is the perfect time. -lekdeclaro

Having a Peek.

Opportunities come once in a while for some people. In fact, it rains on some people sometimes.

For me, an opportunity knocked just last month for me. A guidance counselor position was open at school and I decided to try and see if I am fitted for it. Although other people were somehow surprised by what I did, I still pursued my application. I went through the process (exam and panel interview), however, it wasn't given to me. Even though I did not get the job, I did not regret my decision because at least I took a chance and found out what He wants for me. I'd prefer that than being left with what ifs and regrets.

You may have to peek out through an open door at some point in your lives. Others may push you to try and see what's out there while others may hold you back and safely cuddle you in your comfort zone. But for me, it is better to try and see what's out there, to try and leave your comfort zone, rather than just stay where you are with a big question mark that will linger on till forever. Trying is better than doing nothing at all.

Bounce.

Because the road is rough these days, I can't help but feel helpless, frustrated and hopeless. But that's just the initial reaction of a human like me. Since I have a cognitivist and a believer in me, I decide to see things in a different perspective. I know everything will fall into place in His time. I just have to wait patiently, hopefully, and happily. Quoting Bo Sanchez, I may be in a pothole now, but I'll be bouncing back - a hundred times higher than where I am now. :)
