Nature and Man

We all know the world didn't end on December 21, 2012 because we're still here, right? So we go on to think that the world coming to an end is all just crap. That they are not true. That there is no such thing as end of the world. But think again. Maybe there is such a thing as the end of the human race. Some, or many of us, are not aware that our little seemingly harmless actions might be slowly destroying our Mother Earth. Small things like throwing garbage anywhere and driving cars that release carbon dioxide can contribute to the detriment of our planet or major things like illegal logging or dynamite fishing. We pay the price for our own doings. I hear news of storms and floods and earthquakes and I think that it's our planet giving us what we deserve.

We have to start caring for our planet. We have to be responsible and do what's right. I'm not sure if humans will exist in this world forever but I think the least we can do is care for our planet and do everything we can to preserve it.

The only reason I'm writing this post is because lately it has been colder than usual. Normally, I don't get too cold easily but nowadays, it's quite different. Maybe it's just the climate and all but maybe there's another reason behind this. And also because I find the image too good not to post.

Brain's Taking a Dump

I've got a lot of things on my mind right now. I sometimes think that my brain's going to blow up if I start thinking about them again. The thing is this week has been one h*ll of a week for me. There were lots of works to be done and I didn't get as much sleep as I wanted to. I'm so looking forward to the weekend so that I might have a break even if it's just for a day.

So here are a few happenings, realizations, or whatever in my life this week:

• We cannot control everything. Sometimes the best way to go is to let things just happen and see where it takes us. We sometimes feel that we have to be in control of things so that everything will go the way we want it but being a control freak will only cause stress and disappointment, because not all things are meant to be controlled. 

• A friend of mine commented that maybe I was part of some kind of a royal family because of my look and actions and that maybe I was just being silent about it. This actually made me happy. I don't get a lot of compliments like this. Actually, it hit me that I was not the only one who thinks that other people might have a secret identity. I sometimes make up stories about the people around me whose qualities I find unique and interesting.

• If we want to do something, the best time to do it is NOW! We shouldn't wait for the right time and all that bullshark. You see, I have this tendency to think things over. For example, I want to bake but I have all these reasons that prevents me from doing what I want, like not having an oven or not having money to buy the ingredients or not having the time. I tend to tell myself that I'll do it once I have the money and time. This kind of thinking does nothing. Another example is I want to wear something stylish. But you know what I do? I wait for the right time to wear it. The right time that is never gonna come. So that's why we have to do things NOW rather than later. Live in the moment because we never know what will happen next, cliche as it may sound. 

• What if you suddenly find out that your time here on earth is almost up? Like you suddenly find out that you have cancer. It's quite sad, right? Knowing it's almost the end. That there are things you'll never get to do. We have to live life to the fullest so that there will be no regrets. Take every opportunity that comes because we don't know if we'll ever get something like that again. We should live like there's no tomorrow. 

• Some sayings may be cliche and overly used, but there's always a truth in them.

• My mind's cleared up a little after writing this. :)

A New Year

2012 has passed and 2013 has come. It's a whole new year of making new beginnings and a time to make a fresh start. It's amazing how time flies. I can't believe 2012 is over. So much has happened last year and I made it out okay. Survived the many challenges and I'm quite proud of myself for that.

I don't have any particular resolution for this year. I didn't make any because many times I've tried and didn't get to cross out any of the things listed. So I'm just gonna go with the flow and see what this year has in store for me. I hope I can do many things this year. I'd like to accomplish many tasks and try something new once in a while. I hope I have enough courage and hardwork to make my dreams come true and to make this year my best year yet.
