Simply Amazing

It has long been in my mind that this is very true. Now that I finally have the opportunity to make a composition out of this, I might as well grab the situation and make good use of it. XD

Every thing is simple. That's how it is. What's complicated is actually us because it's kind of programmed in us to make things complicated. You may say that it is some what our nature.

For instance, people who have misunderstanding will keep on explaining their sides that eventually leads to an argument which will involve shouting. Where in fact, a brief explanation will do, then end it by saying sorry (all of you people involved!). Our pride will keep us like this because many of us won't admit that some things are our fault. The usual  "It's their fault!" drives people to be so stubborn.

In a school set up, some students will make activities more difficult when you can easily finish them fast and simple. I get the point that some will really exert so much effort to have a good quality output (because I'm one of them ;P) but some people doesn't take into consideration the capabilities of their members (not me any more because I know how to divide labor according to capacity). My standards are high, but I know how to adapt to this kind of situation. I do this simply because I want them to learn... that they should not depend on others always. But, you see? It's also my nature to make things complicated. Hahaha! XD Nevertheless, I BELIEVE IN THE BEAUTY OF SIMPLICITY because that is how I work most of the time - individually.

There are a lot more scenarios like this but I will not tell them one by one. It might be better if you guys will reflect on it.

Some people may be happy from a simple thing. In Filipino, 'mababaw ang kaligayahan.' I am like that because I know how to appreciate the simple things. As Sherlock Holmes says (my favorite quote as well), "It has long been an axiom of mine that the simple things are infinitely the most important." because at the end of the day, after all, every thing is simply amazing.:))

Masining na Pagpapahayag

Kung ako ay nag-enroll na lamang sa iisang klase, mas dadali ang pamumuhay ko. Pero marami ang nagtatanong, bakit nga ba pinili ko pang maging "irregular?"

Marami akong bagay na isinasaisip bago ko gawin ang kung anuman ang nais ko. Mukhang mahirap, oo. Pero para sa akin, sa paglipas ng bawat araw, dumadali rin ang lahat.

Ngayong isa na akong "irregular student," mas marami pa akong bagay na natututuhan. Napag-alaman ko na rin na kahit kailan, mukhang walang gagawa sa akin ng mga bagay na nagawa ko na para sa mga irregular students. Marahil ay hindi ko na kailangan iyon dahil kaya ko rin namang tumayo mag-isa, pero habang nasa ganito akong kalagayan, mas lubos kong naiintindihan at nauunawaan ang hirap na dinaranas ng dati kong mga kaklase.

Sa kasalukuyan, masaya ako dahil may mga bago na akong kaibigan. Masaya silang lahat kasama. Hindi ko na rin masyadong nararamdamang irreg ako. :))

Para sagutin ang katanungan, pinili kong maging irreg dahil gusto kong maranasan at makita mismo ng sarili kong mga mata ang buhay sa ganitong anggulo. :D
