Love yourself 100%

I real-ICE-d that  love is not 50% you then 50% from the other person. Its about 100% you.







Reason for the realization:

Was talking to a wise person with lots of experience today. He said love is not 50% you then 50% from the other person. Its about 100% you. Then you just give whatever percent more to the other person so that if it works you get more than 100% if not you are still complete. This may or may not apply to everyone coz sometimes love works in its own ways but this is more of a protection to ones self.  Loving yourself is not selfishness.. but instead it will bring out positivity wherein it will yield to a better you and a better relationship. :)

Life is like your Coffee

I real-ICE-d that life is like your coffee..the taste depends on how you want it..may it be dark.. sweet.. white or topped with cream.. We are the baristas of our own life.. so prepare your coffee well..

Reason for the realization:

Morning is the best time to sit down and drink your coffee and just ponder about random things.So when I was pondering around I remembered someone asked me, are you happy with your life? I then told my friend that in general I am happy.  But I weighed down the things positives and negatives that are happening in my life right now and sad to say there are more negative things. But why am I still happy in general? Problems are part of our lives. Some would cry the whole day, hurt themselves or even commit suicide because of it. But Just like how we make our coffee we can turn these negativity into something sweet topped with cream. I admit that sometimes these problems makes me sad but I don't dwell on it too long unlike before. Instead of crying the whole day I tend to think of solutions or make myself feel better. If life is coffee then we are the barista, so lets prepare our coffee well. :)

Who Truly Loves you?

I real-ICE-d if someone truly loves you, even if you have done the worst thing to them they'd try their best to win you back.






Reason for the realization:

Just a random day.. you just think of what happened to you in the past.. you then remember the people you meet.. the people you have loved.. true love is hard to find.. and i remember one time that even if I have cause someone pain.. he tried to win me back.. he accepted me without any explanation.. he will always be remembered.. if we are meant to be or not.. im glad he is my friend..

When Bad isn't Bad

I real-ICE-d that sometimes what we think is bad for us is not really bad for us.. We are only claiming that it is because other people tells us so.











Reason for the realization:

When were sad or problematic most of us asks opinions from family and friends.. I usually turn to friends.. the thing is sometimes we confide with the wrong friends. They are the ones who knows nothing about the situation, has not been in that situation, and does not care a damn thing about you.. and there are some cases that some of them just uses you for their personal agendas. they'll tell you that a particular thing/person is bad for you.. Yes it is ok to consider their thoughts but you still have to ask yourself again.. coz they maybe wrong.. remember trust yourself more than anybody else.. This reminds me of a movie I just watched one of the Character said "I trust everyone.. It's the devil inside them I don't trust" 

It's not wrong to get other peoples opinion specially from your friends. Just remember that you're still the one who should be in control in the end. Which brings us to the conclusion that when some people say its bad it doesn't mean its bad because we all have different opinions.

Dodge and don't listen to Bruno Mars

I real-ICE-d that some people will throw things at you.. so dodge the negatives and catch the positive.. and also be ready to throw back if needed..

Reason for the realization:

It was just another light bulb moment when out of the blue you think about something. Well theres always a reason why.. lately negative things are thrown to me by people that it made me feel really bad for the past few weeks.. i realized that during these weeks what i was doing is just letting them hurt me.. so what i did is i remove a social networking sites and tried using a simple one called twitter. It actually worked coz the negativity lessened and i got to follow people who gives info/good news rather than things that are totally not helpful like their stupid life updates and negative things about other people.. so that's dodging the negatives.. catching the positive on the other hand is easy.. all you need to do is say thank you and make people feel that what they threw you is very much appreciated. but why do we need to be ready to throw back? I'm not telling that revenge is good but sometimes we need to fight back for self defense.. and if people throws you kindness do the same :)

Time is Gold

I real-ICE-d that free is not free if it will consume time..









Reason for the realization:

I was with my workmate strolling around sm mega mall.. We were looking for running shoes coz I plan to jog one of these days.. went to several stores then someone approached us.. His name was Angel and he is gay he asked us if we have credit card i said yes.. then he said he'll give us free gifts and a Php100 off in sm movie tickets.. so we registered he asked us to come with him in their office.. in the end it was a company who wanted me to cash out or transfer 6k from my credit card to avail an insurance.. it was more than an hour of sales talk and the one who did the sales talk wouldnt accept defeat easily.. (she woudlnt accept my "no i dont need an insurance") shopping time wasted because of free gifts ,wall clock and pillow, ( got one and it sucks) and the promised 100 off in movie tickets (they didnt give us any) ... one hour for a silly pillow and a wall clock.. damn.. if i used that 1 hour for over time at work at least i get paid cash not receive a stupid wall clock..lol well lesson learned.. time is gold.. :)

What did I do Wrong?

I real-ICE-d that it feels good if you changed because you want to not because others told you so.

Reason for the realization:

- someone told me.. my room is a mess.. ( i started fixing )

- i saw my room and its a mess ( i started fixing )

between the 2 situation i felt better and happier on the 2nd one.. yes its nice when someone is concerned about you and tell you what you did wrong and then you change for the better.. but isn't it better and more fulfilling if we are more concerned about ourselves that we have the initiative to change before others tell you so.. We often look at others mistakes that sometimes we forget ours.. so because of this realization and before i yap around other peoples mistake I'd concentrate with my own mistakes first and ask myself "What did I do Wrong?"
