Law of Attraction

Just a few minutes ago, I was reading my friend’s post about the law of attraction which explains how all of us are given the opportunity of getting what we want because the entire universe connives to help us achieve whatever it is that we ask for. And it makes perfect sense, we’re all blessed with the gift, or shall I say, benefit of being spoiled by the universe by getting everything we want. But the catch, by everything, the law meant every thing, big or small, positive or negative. It’s up to us to decide of what we truly want and how much effort we give in getting our wishes granted.

And then I began to question. How many good wishes did I miss only because I continuously doubted myself, because I feared the challenges I might have to face before I get to the pot of gold, and because I wasn’t strong enough, not confident enough? I could be living a better and happier life right now if only I have been more positive of myself and my capabilities, but I’m not. I’m recounting all the things I could have achieved in the past if only I were better. My InTACT professor once wrote to me telling me that I’m good. But good does not necessarily mean it’s alright, because she said she believes that I can do better than good. Can I? I’ve always settled for being mediocre, a B-B+ student, but never an A student. I don’t push myself further to achieve something better because I fear of not getting what I want. That’s why I settle for something that’s okay, but not better. Is it because that throughout these opportunities that I can shine, I chose to remain in the sidelines, quietly blaming myself why I didn’t go for it. And the answer, negative thoughts entered faster than thoughts of success. And the universe processes these thoughts and leads me to wherever I am now. It’s not the universe’s fault why I may not be living the life I ideally planned, it was because of me. I became vulnerable to pessimism and did not even try to entertain the brighter side.

Nonetheless, the insight about the Law of Attraction made me realize that all of us have equal chances of being successful and being happy. The reason why other people are living better lives is because they have been more positive, more persevere compared to others. But that does not mean that’s the end for the rest of us right? The universe is unending, and so are our wishes. Knowing that each one is capable of getting their wishes given should at least help us realize that we’re only a positive thought away from better days.

I missed a lot of chances. I took away a lot of my wishes. But what the heck, the universe backs me up. I can always wish for more.

Gail tagged me. Looove Survey :)

I tag Robee Ilagan, Nhet Malaluan, Joyce Ruiz, Yan Zhu, Miguel Andres, RD Magboo, Johanne Sarcilla and Zyrelle Santos.


RULES:
A. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. Tag 8 people. Those who are tagged cannot refuse.
B. These 8 people must state who they were tagged by. You cannot tag the person who tagged you. Continue this game by sending this to 8 other people.

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?

Immediate reaction would probably be anger. I'd curse him and wish he'd die. :)) And then, I'd probably run to my friends and find comfort there. Then i would move on easily. Yay. :)

2. What will you do if you do not share the same feelings as the person who likes you?

Tell the person the truth, and try to find them a better match if they want.

3. What's your take on same-sex marriages?

Err, love knows no reason right? It's probably fine with me. :p

4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?

Yeah, sometimes. But I try to find my way through it. Sometimes, I still end up confused though. No idea why. haha

5. What's your ideal lover like?

Ooohh, this one's good. I want someone who's taller, preferably mestizo or chinese, clear faced and smells nice. :)) :)) But more importantly i like someone who writes or who's good enough in subjects i don't excel in. And and someone very spontaneous more than romantic.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone else?

A hopeless romantic like me would say loving someone. :) kasi it's a different feeling to love someone rather than to be loved eh. there's a sense of fulfillment in it. =)) ang cheesy.

7. If the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings?

Nah, if I already knew we don't share the same feelings toward each other, why bother trying right?

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?

FInd someone who isn't attached? Isn't that the logical thing to do? I wouldn't want to end up as the kirida. :))

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?

Yeah. The weather's killing me. Sobrang init kasi.

10. What do you want most in life?

I want a lot. Let's start with a new laptop. :)) :))

11. Is being tagged fun?

Yeah, especially when you're bored.

12. If you find out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react?

Those bitches. Die! :)) :)) We can't be friends anymore I guess. Find a new friend. No more boys.

13. Who is currently the most important person to you?

Everyone I love. Ahihihi. :)

14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?

Gail's really friendly, always smling to everyone she sees. :) She's like this friend you can depend on if your other friend cheats on you or if your boyfriend betrays you. :))

15. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?

Married and poor. Who wants to be rich and miserable right? It's like asking if you want happiness or success.

16. If the person you secretly like cannot recognize you, what would you do/how would you react?

Oh I know how that feels. :)) Try to make an impression to that person. Be KSP lang yan. Hahaha, kidding.

17. Would you give your all in a relationship?

If the person receiving is worth it, YES. :)

18. If you fall in love with two persons simultaneously, who would you pick?

Is that possible? Parang you can feel naman that someone is more important than the other. Well, that's probably just me. :P

19. What type of friends do you like?

Friends who can listen and can be listened to. Basically people I can spend long hours with.

20. If you played a prank on someone, and he/she fell for the trick, what would you do?

Laugh really hard =)) =))

mainit, sobrang init

Baaaah, it’s been almost a month since I last updated my blog. I have a few good reasons for not updating though. Ahihihi. One, it was finals week. And you know what happens during finals week. Clickie! Two, I went abroad and finding a computer to log into would mean kawalan ng hiya or paying 10 bucks inside the airport. Three, summer school has already begun. I have classes everyday and quizzes each day as well. Barely have time to sleep. Hahaha, kidding. I actually sleep rather opening my notes. Summer heat has done well to tempt me to take a nap for about 2 hours each day. Four, procrastination + heat = no work done AT ALL. Oh well, I’m back hopefully.

***

Is it the weather or is it just me? It’s been a week and I still feel like I’m on summer mode. Buti na lang hindi maaga ang class ko kung hindi baka late ako everytime. I’d rather curl up in my bed and sleep some more instead of waking up and having to put up with the hot weather. The heat really tires me and forces me to work less so as to prevent myself from sweating too much. You know me, sweating like a pig kahit wala naman ginagawa. Worse, I have to walk home every single day, after lunch break when the sun’s up so high. And you know what happens next. Yes, I am getting darker everyday. I am now darker than my sister who’s the darkest of all the dark people. Hahaha. Sana lang bumalik yun normal skin tone ko before summer ends.

***

I have a lot of insights from my 10/11 day trip but I’ve decided that I would make a separate post for that one. God knows how long will it take me to write that one.
