LJ serious - modified version (#2)

the better version with more features like the RSS feed link, Google Ads and Label Cloud (w/c doesn't work with IE).

also, i've fixed this version such that it will look pleasing on all browsers (IE included at last)

tested in Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Opera 9.24 and Internet Explorer 7

though there's nothing quite substantial in here yet, in case you want to be updated with this sad-excuse-for-a-serious-blog, either you follow me through blogger (it's an option somewhere in your dashboard) or SUBSCRIBE TO RSS. see RSS link above (with the feed icon).

just to let you know, i spent an hour trying to overlap that RSS image link with the header image because they are two independent widgets. what a pain in the neck, seriously. it's not like it's that easy! hah, you try.

watermarks are only for celebrities, photographers and stock-quality photos.

i don't mean to ridicule/offend/discriminate but i find it funny that ordinary people would watermark their photos as if they're steal-worthy. as if.

first of all, it's a big waste of time photoshopping each of the photos.

and worst of all, by the end the day it'll be disappointing to know that no one actually stole it.

save the stamps when you're already hitting it big time.


K?

check this article by Bo Sanchez: Are You Fulfilling Your Life Purpose?

In that article, he poses two questions that will determine your purpose in life.

1.) What do you love to do?
2.) Where do you excel?

Frankly speaking, I already know my purpose in life. If you know me personally, I guess you'll have an idea. I'm a happy person who knows my life purpose, works at it, but not daily. I say not daily because at the moment, I am still wrongly positioned in life. Meaning, I don't like what I'm doing

Sometimes it just doesn't pay that you know your purpose. You have to work at it. True. But what if circumstances are not geared towards you fulfilling your purpose in life? Like in my case, I want to be a full time artist but when I applied for Fine Arts, I failed miserably. I remember a popular saying that says when you want something, the universe will conspire for you to achieve it. Definitely not in my case! -___-;;

which is why i find it reasonable to not take the universe as it generally is, because if you do, it's pretty much saying that you're relying on FATE. and fate is for lazy people who don't want to work their asses. you should at least define your universe, who's in it, where it is and what are you in it. Your universe should include only those variables which work interdependently on each other, with you being the main anchor. Such that when you work hard, all the others will be affected in the right way. That's my kind of universe, and it's the kind of universe that will conspire to your aspirations, given that you work on it of course. Let's not be superficial.

Now, back to why I can't seem to fulfill my purpose.

The only thing I can think of is TIME. I believe that the fulfillment of every purpose has its own time. I believe in God's time. I would complain about it, why did I have to realize my purpose this early when I have to wait for 10 more years to practice it? I would spend my life waiting anxiously for that chance to arrive. it's like a potential that is not given the right break. Then again, I'm still young and need to learn to more. Fulfilling my purpose in life is probably the last stage that I would have to go through before I reap eternal rewards. It's a stage I don't want to enter unprepared.

Anyhow, it doesn't mean that I'm leaving my purpose behind for awhile. I mean, going back to the 2 questions, if it's something I love to do and excel in, it would always come out from me naturally.

It's the fulfillment that has to wait.

permission to hula

@ i guess it was the other other day when someone approached us and asked us to sign a request letter to include HULA DANCING in the gym's group exercises. of course, being polite, we signed the petition letter. but then, why hula? they already have belly dancing and hula hardly makes people sweat. hmmm. but anyway, if it gets granted, it would be a cute exercise. hehe

@ by the way, the other day, we tried YOGA. freakin complicated positions!!! i'm really out of balance! >___>; but i like it because it made me sweat really hard

@ that's why the next day, which was yesterday, we didn't go the gym. partly because the weather is glum, and mostly because there's a party at our neighbor's house and well, we just had to be there for the FOOD.

@ tomorrow is my dad's birthday! :D yey. ice cream plzzz???

chill

every friendship is still worth restoring, i've learned that after making ammends with my housemate earlier this afternoon. i suddenly can't bear the guilt that i was too sarcastic and sharp-tongued just because of some misunderstanding. >____>;; from now on, i promise myself not to bring any unresolved conflicts to my deathbed. i could just die of guilt.

that aside, here's something i made while in the gym. remember the day when i failed to workout because of my period? here's the result. XD

:D hehe

yey

bati na kami.
