Inside A Fishbowl

Every person is like a fish inside a fishbowl. The other fishes are like your friends and loved ones. The water, the bond connects you and your friends.

People tend to stay within their social circle, within their fishbowl. They are always in a place near their friends and loved ones. Some people choose to go out of their "fishbowls" and live in other places. There, they become alone in front of strangers. People look for friends as fishes look for other fishes.

Once they fit in their new environment, they are now in a new bowl with other fishes. They may be happy and contented but there will come a time where you think of the past. The time when it feels like you are longing for the "water" that you are used to. It's the time when you think of your dear old friends. There comes a time when you are happy in the present and it brings back the past. The memories of your loved ones, those happy moments.

"Only in quiet waters do thing mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world."

                                                                                          -Hans Margolius 

Your friends are far away from you. They are in another "fishbowl". Go back to where you came from, even just for a little while. If you are lost, don't give up. Go back to your friends. You'll see that the other fishes are waiting for you.. Hoping to see you again.

Friends are friends. You should "water" the seed of friendship that you implanted on each other. You should reach out and communicate with them. When you feel alone, find a friend and you are not alone anymore.

“I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other”

Facing the Giants

Guess what. 10pm na hindi pa tapos yung hinihintay ko. Ang tagal no? So here's my great idea. Dahil batong-bato na ako dito. Ilalagay ko na lang dito yung assignment ko para sa Career Pathing namin bukas. Eto wag kayong kokontra. Madrama to. From now on, dahil hindi ko na talaga feel na may gumagamit ng Friendster e ilalagay ko na lang yung mga assignments ko dito. Yung mga mukhang pang-blog na sinulat lang sa scratch paper sabay tinapon sa basurahan. So that, at least, pagkatapon ko e may pupulutin kayo. Na aral. Kung meron man. So sa mga lalaki dyan na medyo madaling umiyak or sobrang ayaw ng drama, next blog ko na lang yung abangan niyo. Alam kong may mga kontrabida sa mga ganitong posts tulad nung mga 'di marunong magbayad ng utang sa class fund. O game. Tama na intro ko. Copy and paste na. Here it is.



Last week, we’ve watched the movie entitled Facing the Giants. It’s a story about hope, faith, and trust. It was about a football coach who can’t buy a nice car, can’t win any game, and can’t even have a baby. Some players went to other school because of their record. It came to a point where the school administration wanted to fire him off and get a new one much better than him. All that was left with him was his wife and God. We were given the task to get at least one lesson from the movie. It’s quite difficult because the movie was meaningful and inspiring that you can learn many things from it. If I should get even a lesson from the movie it would be this. Don’t give up, have faith in Him, and believe that nothing is impossible. Jesus made it through the cross just to save us, isn’t that enough for us not to give up and trust him?

College is more complicated with high school. My chosen course made it more difficult because we have a maintaining grade. Only few students graduate on our course. Yes, it is difficult to pass. But that doesn’t end there. As we interview one of the higher years, she said that her most challenging moment was when she tried to cope up with her failing grades. If you fail then do your best next time, if you quit then you lose. Everybody has his/her own problems that he/she should face. As a student, we should do our best on our studies and remember that we are not alone. We have our parents, friends, and we have God. He won’t leave us no matter what. If we pass, we praise Him. If we fail, we praise Him. We may have the knowledge but without His guidance we’re still empty. Nothing is impossible if we believe that we can do something and we have faith in it. If we have tried our best and it still didn’t work out right, let’s face the truth. God has a greater plan for us.
