Social Intelligence they
say is the way to happiness.
But when things go wrong
and you find yourself in
the middle of sanity and despair,
where do you turn to?
Control what you can control.
Yourself.
In turbulent times, the best thing to do is to look inward. That's what I intend to do. The Philippines will be celebrating ALL SAINTS DAY tomorrow in honor of all the saints, known and unknown. It's our time to visit our relatives grave and pray for them.
This year will be a bit different. I will not be in my hometown, I will go somewhere else where I hope to make a grave for myself where I can leave my sadness. I will be praying for myself and hope I can find peace of mind. I should set limitations to bad emotions before it reach a certain level where I would be comfortable being sad. I need to be with myself and be myself again........

Happy All Saint Day 4u!
thanks for the kind words ZARA, I badly need it.haha
ReplyDeleteNov 1, im in bed, reading a book while lolo serving me tea and biscuits. Spoiled. Sickleave kasi, hehe.
ReplyDeleteI have no time to be sad. Im used to the fact that when a love one dies, or a saint dies,they dont feel or appreciate if a nice TOLDA in the tomb had been rented very costly to cover them on the day...they dont see it anymore if we play tong-its, or if the flowers brought came from a nearby grave...
I Think my age sucks now to such tradition.I blame it to the french, haha.
i hope you'll find what you are searching parekoy... enjoy the holiday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween...

ReplyDeleteuy, san ka punta? bakasyon!
Hi antonio..u are still in your sadness? Can my hug help?

Just follow your heart. If you duno where to go next, just sit down, lay back and relax first. Resting is for walking a longer distance. ;)
onga. free hugs. dont be sad. things will be well soon. smile :)
ReplyDeletethat's is how this day should be spent. a day of silence and reflection...

happy halloween mate :)
enjoy and have fun..it isnt the end of everything..engage in some activities to divert your sadness.are you some kinda sporty?try bowling or badminton my friend..saya!
ReplyDeleteyey! kudos to the saints (known and unknown). i in fact believe that there's more unknown saints than the known ones.
ReplyDeletebest thing about this post is the line that talks about control. and it is yourself that you can control.
I’m happy for what you did. Most of the times, we find ourselves working soo hard for them- our loved ones, for others…to the point that we forget that we also need some time alone…to think, to pray, to reenergize. There are times that we also become victims of life’s injustices, but life must go on…and we can only do that if we learn to be brave enough to look life into the positive side.
ReplyDeleteohh inspiring words teach though a bit creepy, still refreshin to read. gudluck finding urself. happy resurrection ;)
