'Priorities'

There is this section of our life that we need to think about things we need, things that we want to do which will give us contentment and stability.


According to Webster- Priorities, or priority, is something given or meriting attention before competing alternatives.


In other words, it is that time where you sip your coffee (or hot Milo drink in my case) in the morning while you think of tomorrow. Or maybe reading the news paper and you discover that you need a bigger house.


So what are your priorities? House and Lot? A nice Car? Getting laid? Be the best in a certain field? We all have these kinds of dreams. I bet as early as prep school you already thought if these stuffs.


Well, I did too. But, not until I reached High School. I was just a kid back then (well, we all are). But, the difference is that I'm a kid with no foresight. I did not think of the future. I can't even decide what coarse I should take in college. When I was a kid I use to think of my self as a fighter jet pilot. Then for some reason I forgot all about it.






For me to somehow achieve something, I took my Mum's advice. I decided to become a Nurse. I mean being a Nurse isn't really that bad, at least you get to help people. But, four years after I realize its not really what I want. It's just the effect of "Brain Drain".


It took me four years to find out that I should have something that I 'Want'. And that's like me stuck in the middle. Now that I know I need to have something of my liking or Love, I have never been confused. So I decided to let things go as they are. Finished the coarse, completed my papers, took the National Board Exam, and pledged an Oath as a Nurse.But, I did not practice my Profession. I ended up looking for Jobs (which I failed), and now I'm involved in this huge Humanitarian Organization.


I just realize, and I mean 'I "Just" realize', that what I really need is the drive to do things and be successful. To start and finish it with good results.


But what could that be?


So now, I'm right here writing this Blog after making my list of priorities (or problems to be solved).


This certain event made me think, "Priorities are solutions to peoples problems, not fulfillment of their Dreams."

'The Stupid Highway'

Hi Guys! So as promised I have here a sample Video of my song "The Stupid Highway". Although its just a link to my Facebook account 'cuz, for some reason I can't upload the video here on my blog. And also I changed the name from 'Stupidity Highway' to "Stupid Highway" 'cuz it sounds better. So here it is the video and some changes in the Lyrics. Enjoy! "The Stupid Highway" Covered by the shadows of regret And still I'm heading that way I recognize all these mistakes But still I'm headed that way Blinded by the Light of yesterday Consuming all Denial along the way Oh no! I'm heading that way Ooh I'm heading that way Smoking out the essence of dismay I'm walking on the same pathway I'm weary from the thoughts of all the pain Still walking on the same pathway Knowing that its all just the same I never learned from my old mistakes 'Cuz Baby, I'm heading your way Hmm...

'A Feeling of Uncertainty"

Today, I have decided to move out from my home and just be a man on my own. I've always wanted to do this ever since I graduated from college. But why does it took me almost three years to decide? Simple, because I still cannot stand on my own during those times. Even up until now, I'm not sure if I can solely support my self, financially speaking. I don't even have a place to move in to. But why move out if I cannot still support my self? Simple again, because I had enough. I'm so tired of this prison like status. I want Freedom! Free from the obligation and the responsibility of asking permission every time I go out of the house. Free from the idea that I have to go home early just so mu Mom wont worry. Free from every thing that is holding me back from doing what I Love and what I want. Freedom. In two weeks time. And I hope that is the time. But then, even if we are literally free from those walls, we are still a prisoner of our own. Imprisoned by the

'Contentment is Boring'

For the pass few days I have been busy with things about my job, my inspiration, and my usual problems in life which somehow makes me smile at the world and just sigh with contentment. Although I still have a lot of things to settle with like my debts and necessities, my lost I.D.'s, and my plan of moving out and living on my own. Hmm... Now that I thought about it, I just realize that I might postpone moving out. I must settle things first so that I wont be carrying extra luggage when time comes and just focus on being independent. But what is this? Am I getting a little bit bored with the routine? or maybe I'm just having a hang over from my job this morning. It was kind of a drag though, but we are going to need it so I have to get a grip and slap my self more often so that I wont kept on Chicken sleeping(hehe). But what's funny and stimulating is that my co-trainees just caught me with something that gives someone the idea of something naughty. For those who knew,
