Does constant practice makes perfect?

…” But no one’s perfect so why practice?….”

            This was the statement that I often heard every time I asked people, does constant practice makes perfect?

            It’s true that no one is perfect, but if we’re gonna try our best and practice, there’s no reason for us to be failed in achieving what we aimed in life.

            Just like a beginner, at first, we don’t really know anything at all but because we really want to learn, we sacrificed our time as well as our efforts…

            It’s just like a person who wanted to join a dance competition…He’s going to familiarize first the steps starting from the very beginning… And if, he finds mistakes on his steps, he’s going to recall everything or asks for help from his co-performers…Practice and practice…so that, during the judgment night, he can perform much better…..

            We can’t run away from our failures or mistakes. It’s been part of our life.....and  that’s,  to struggle in order for us to survive… as well as, courage and determination is needed for us to re-correct the mistakes we had done. Practice is just one way for us to learn more and be the person more than our expectations…

            Remember, we get what we aimed in life because we worked hard for it…And, we are just capable of doing what we want and develop our hidden skills if we are going to get used of it through constant practice….

            Just one word but takes so long to be mastered….  And, needs patience in order to survive… Maybe, it’s not just that easy but the question is… at the end, who might benefit out of it? It’s only us,right?  Only ourselves…

My First Boyfriend

Siya na kaya ang huli at wala ng iba…

Me and My First Love

“Oo”…

“Unsa?(Ano)?”

“Ana ko, oo..(Sabi ko, oo)”

“Huh?”

“Oo nga!..Kita na!( tayo na)”

“Tinuod na Saj?(Totoo ba ‘yan Saj?)”

“Hmmph… oo?”

            Napatalon sa sobrang tuwa si Ariel. Siya lang naman ang aking “first boyfriend”. Sino bang mag-aakalaing papasok ako sa ganitong sitwasyon kung pwede nga lang ibalik ang panahon, irewind kumbaga, na sana di ko na lang sya sinagot. Ngunit, ang sagot kong iyon ay di ko pinagsisihan kahit noong unang araw na naging kami at noong muntikan pa kaming maghiwalay kase I realized ang hirap mag-adjust at di ko pa pala kaya…

            Marahil naninibago ako o di kaya’y naguguluhan….. Akala ko kase ‘pag sinagot mo na siya at binigay mo ‘yong gusto nila, matatapos na ang lahat…. Isang malaking responsilidad pala ang kaakibat nito… Akala ko, sa school lang may rules and regulations but when you are in a relationship pala, there are also things to be followed… For example… kelangan sabay kayong umuwi in short kelangan mo syang hintayin at kelang magpaalam ka lage sa kanya kung san ka pupunta kahit sa CR ka pa pumunta… Ganito pala… ang daming kelangang tandaan.. Bawat galaw mo must always be reported at ang hirap pa sa lahat, nakikita at napapansin niya lahat ng galaw mo laolo na ‘pag magkaklase kayo… Kung minsan nga naiilang ako… Di ko nagawa ‘yong gusto kong gawin… Kasi baka ano pa ang sabihin ng iba…

            Akala ko, di rin kami tatagal, malapit na kasi ang graduation day ng sinagot ko siya… Akala ko rin, pagkatapos ng graduation day, tapos na rin ang lahat….

Alam kong nasaktan ko siya kase sa simula’t sapul pa ay wala naman akong nararamdamang special feeling sa kanya…… Kumbaga, di sya ‘yong tipo ng lalaki na gusto ko. Mismo sa sarili ko, di ko alam kung ba’t ko ba sya sinagot. At that point kasi, iniisip ko, why not give him a chance, mabait naman sya, matutunan ko rin syang mahalin gaya ng pagmamahal ko para sa malapit nyang kaibigan…

Sabi nga nila, baka nga raw, I just took him for grante. Kung anuman ang nangyari, di ko sinasadya. Marahil, naghihinayang ako nung naging kami ngunit pagdaan ng panahon…

Natutunan ko rin syang mahalin. Di naman pala siya mahirap mahalin. Bigla ko na lang naramdaman na gusto ko na pala siya…

Kahit di nya gaanung pinaparamdam sa akin, nararamdam ko naman ang love and care nya para sa akin… Kahit limang buwan lang nagtagal an gaming relationship, one month that we’d seen one another and the rest are long distance communication…..

Naparamdam ko rin sa kanya sa konting panahon na ‘yun ang pagmamahal na kahit kelan di ko naiparamdam sa isang guy… Satisfy na kasi ako sa pacrush-crush lang… hehehehe…

He’s very good to me kahit maraming naghihinayang sa aming break-up… What’s important is, we still become friends despite of the fact na ‘di na kami…

 ‘Lam kong napakadali para sa aking mahalin sya, at ang masakit pa rito’y…..madali ring nawala ang pagmamahal ko para sa kanya…

Thank you Iel… You taught me how to love and made me feel how does it feel to be valued…

Thank you Iel/Ar2x/My nobody…

The 3R

My Bestfriends

            Sino nga ba ang mag-aakalain na kaming tatlo ay magiging mag-“bestfriends”? Kung ikukumpara lang naman ang pag-uugali ng bawat isa, ‘di aakalaing kaming tatlo ay mapagsama-sama. Si Raymon na kilalang pinakamaingay sa aming samahan. He’s always updated sa mga news either in showbiz, current events at maging tsismis at chicka sa school campus. “Di siya nauubusan ng energy sa kakukwento at ang nakakatawa pa rito’y he’s really a good friend though maraming tao ang nagdidiscriminate sa kanya kase nga raw, “bakla sya.” Pero di naman ang kasarian ang basehan ng real friendship, di buh?

            Samantalang si Regine ang tinaguriang “Einstein” or let’s say “Aristotle” sa grupo dahil nga naman sa taglay nitong talino. Maniwala ka man o sa hindi, magaling sya sa lahat ng mga asignatura mapa-agham, matematika, kasaysayan at iba pa. Napakagaling nya pagdating sa non-verbal abilities ‘yun nga lang napakamahiyain. Kaya ‘di sya masyadong napapansin sa klase lalo na when it comes to oral recitation.

            Ngunit sa kabila nito, ‘di rin naman ang intellectual capacity ng isang tao ang batayan ng magandang pagsasamahan. Kung ako ang tatanungin, ang mahalaga lang naman ay masaya kayo na kasama ang isa’t isa kahit na sabihin pa nilang “We have our own world nag raw” kaya there are times…‘di nila kami maintindihan…But, it doesn’t matter… Simple lang naman ang mga kaibigan ko. Very ordinary pero kakaiba. Sa dami-rami  nga ba naman ng mga kakilala ko, sila lang naman ang mga taong tinanggap ako ng buong-buo sa kabila ng aking mga kapintasan. Di naman ako mabait at di rin naman gaanung matalino. Isa nga raw ako sa pinakatahimik sa classroom na di rin masyadong friendly…

Kung minsan nga, meron kaming nagagawa na di naming kayang gawin sa harap ng tao. Gumagawa kami ng  sarili naming libangan na kami-kami lang din ang nagkakaintindihan……

Minsan, soundtrip,pakanta-kanta, kung minsan naman ay trivia quiz, patanong-patanong, pasagot-sagot… Hehehehe .. Kung wala ng ibang katuwaan, pajoke-joke kahit corny….

            Sa loob ng isang taon, marami na kaming napagdaanan. Nag-umpisa sa pagpapakilala sa sarili, di pagkakaintindihan, tampuhan, asaran maging sa kaligayahan…..

            Ngunit, Kahit ganun pa man at kelangan na naming magpaalam, di hadlang ang graduation day, maging anupaman upang sirain an gaming samahan…

            Kahit malayo kami sa isa’t isa, si Regine, si Raymon at ako ay mananatiling 3R, umulan man o bumagyo…

Isang Tula

Pagkakaibigan at Pag-ibig

Ni: Renelyn B. Sajulga

Pag-ibig ay sadyang mapagbiro

Bigla-biglang dumarating, dumaraan sa buhay ng tao

Sa pagdaan ng panahon iyong mapagtatanto

Ang wagas at tapat na pag-ibig kelanma’y ‘di susuko.

Kaysakit isipin, kayhirap tanggapin

Ang pagkakaibigang namuo’y masisira ng dahil sa isang pagtingin

Aakalain mong ito’y mawawala rin

Samahang nabuo maibabalik pa ba natin?

Kung kapalit nito’y, kelangan mo syang mahalin.

Nakakapanibugho, nakakapaghinayang

Hanggang dito na lang ba tayo mahal kong kaibigan?

Pasakit at kaligayahang ating pinagsaluhan

Ibabaon na lang ba sa alaala ng ating nakaraan?

Nagbago man ang dating samahan

Tunay na pagkakaibigan, wala pa ring iwanan

Sa kabila ng dagok, ako’y andyan lang

Mananatili tayong magkaibigan, magpakailanman.

Ito ay para sa isang taong naging bahagi ng aking buhay… Kelanman ‘di kita malilimutan at ang bawat sandali na tayo’y magkasama’y  mananatili sa aking puso’t isipan.

P.S.  

 Malalaman mo lang ang halaga ng isang tao ‘pag wala na siya.

Friendship….

If you’ll ask me how long I’ll be your friend…

        My answer will be…. “I don’t know.”… Because I really don’t know which one is longer…

                FOREVER     or    ALWAYS

This message was once passed to me by my friend through my cell phone number.

        A message that did not only make me thinks twice but for several times. Friends are very important in our lives. They are the people to whom we expressed our feelings that we can’t confess to our parents, and we are all aware of it… But, have you considered anyone that you can called “My True friends?!” The people that will never ever forget you though you’re far from one another.

But in life, we can’t exactly predict when will be the right time and place for us to meet this shall we say, “Our True Friends.’’

Friends for life

        You’ll never expect that the people you’ve waiting for have come and have been already part of your life…

        Well in my own experience ‘bout the word ‘friendship’, this is not based on how long you’ve been with one another but it’s a matter of… both of you are comfortable to be with each other…

        When he/she felt bad, you’re going to do the best that you can in order to make that person feels better…For example, you’ll going to make some jokes(kahit corny pakinggan), you’ll going to dance(kahit parehong kaliwa ang paa) or to sing(kahit basag ang boses or yabag).  

        These are few of what I’ve done to my very good friends when they are not feeling well. And that’s what they did to me too.

        What I did is not the main issue, the point there is that.. I know that I did something for them to feel okay… What makes them happy, that makes me happy too…

        Hope you’ll find the people you can called as “Your True Friends and not as your false friends”.

Ways to move on…….

Things are not meant to be forever

Someone will say goodbye 

And my question is, “How are you going to move on?’’

We can’t stop ourselves to love others not just as a friend but more than it… Some people are given the chance to be with the person they love and become “lovers” and others are unlucky enough… But, the things/people around us are not permanent. People die, people change, and things that surround us get smaller and bigger. Even the married people annulled and choose to be separated with one another…

          They say, they just wake up one day and realized that they don’t ever love their husband’s or wife…

          But, whatever we do, we can’t deny the fact that someday, if possible, we’ll come to the point that we need to say “sorry” and “goodbye!’’ to the one that we learned to love before.

          I’m going to share to you some ways on how to move on…These are quite funny but true…

These are the following:

Numbers   1…. Think of beer all the time

                   2…. Go to places he/she is not there

                   3…. Make yourself busy

                   4…. Find extraordinary things to forget the person

                   5…. Let time heals the wound

                   6….Eat too much

          And lastly, find another man/woman or search for puppy love (or atik2x nga love kuno)……

          Hehehehe… I know this is a serious matter….Those was just opinions of my classmates, but for me this goes like…

  ………. it depends on the person in that situation to do the things he/she is more comfortable in order to forget the person…..

For you what is LOVE???

“Love is undefined term’’

“Love cannot be identified, but can be expressed”

“Love is an act of sacrificing”

“love is life”

Well, these are just few of my friends’ suggestions when I asked them to define, “LOVE.”

          At my age, I couldn’t tell exactly what the real meaning of love is. Love maybe means love for family, friends, and to God. But, what kind of love I’m referring to is “Love” for special someone. Love that you felt to someone you know maybe for a long time or for a while or shall we say “Love at first sight!!!”

          Out of the suggestions above, this let me think what is love… How does it feel to be in love? And, how does it feel to love and to care for a person…

          Maybe, the time will only come from the day that someone will come into my life and will show me the love that I never felt before.

          I don’t really have enough experience about this issue but what made me think about this is when my very good friend had given me his opinion about it.

He said, “Love is when you feel she is more important than your own life.’’

          A simple sentence…..but has a deeper meaning… A meaning that you to yourself can prove it…

          It’s an opinion from an ordinary person. Simple but touching, isn’t it????
