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?"

Happy Thoughts

I Real-ICE-d that we look back and reminisce happy memories of our past acquaintances not because we want to go back.. sometimes we just want to remember happy thoughts so we can fly forward [sprinkle fairy dust]

Reason for the realization:

Yes. I sometimes think of people who came into my life and i often remember the good times that we had. Who would want to remember the bad memories? This is where i can say i have forgiven the person and now time to keep moving forward.. :)

Pride + Jealousy = Sour Graping

i real-ICE-d that SOMETIMES the reason we say we hate SOMETHING is not because you don't really like it.. it's either you can't have it or others, specially the people you don't like has it and and you don't..








Reason for the realization:

i usually get random thoughts..so this is random.. jealousy and pride.. if you put them together it can yield to hate..then sour graping.. once upon a time i had a friend who hates a toy that is owned by her old friend (im totally revising the story..hahaha) well now she says she hates the toy but the truth is she likes the toy so much and because she can't have it she decided to hate it instead.. so there jealousy and pride.. not a good combination.. :p

..as i read this post again and the comment by an unknown person.. pride and jealousy + insecurity = sour graping..

Fall down and bleed

i real-ICE-d in life..its ok to fall down and bleed many times.. Just make sure you can afford a good doctor..








Reason for the realization:

I was doing my regular stuff at fb.. when i saw a post from one of my cousins (well im not sure if he's my cousin or he's my nephew..sige relative na lang).. it says "A wise man once told me: ok lng madapa bsta may pang bayad ka sa panggamot sa sugat. -pinsan" so this is the tagalog version of my realization but i kinda revised it a bit. I find the statement true.. don't wait for someone to pick you up or help you, not that its wrong but its better to be prepared.. being helpless after you fall and bleed wont get you anywhere coz there might be a chance that no one will help you.. :)

Some things are not meant to be changed..

i real-ICE-d that somethings are not meant to be changed..





Reason for the realization:

Just watched the rise of the planet of the apes. It was a very good movie for me the origin story set in present day San Francisco, where man's own experiments with genetic engineering lead to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy. . Then there was a line from one of the character.. that "some things are not meant to be changed" when i got home i remembered that line and i pondered.. i thought that this usually happens in a relationship wherein most people want to change their partners, this is actually ok if its for the better but if you want to change your partner just because it will benefit you more then you should reconsider.. again "some things are not meant to be changed" :)

Wrong to Right

In a relationship or friendship I real-ICE-d that i should not say "i met the wrong person".. The truth is they are the right ones.. If it weren't for them we will not learn.. :)

Reason for the realization:


It was one of my free day Monday and i was purging my FB friends list. I saw few friends who did something wrong to me.. well i didn't delete them, though i had the thought of deleting them.. but then this is where the realization came in..i told myself I've met the wrong people.. they've hurt me.. but...they are the ones who made me stronger.. they are reason why i strive hard and make sure i won't be like them.. so quoting them as wrong people isn't really appropriate.. from then on i told myself that they're the right ones.. :)

Dangerous Teaspoon

i real-ICE-d that a teaspoon is dangerous!!

Reason for the Realization:

I was drinking my daily coffee in my favorite mug.. I was stirring my coffee while checking my favorite social site.. yes its fb.. good guess.. but if you say twitter no worries thats my 2nd as of now.. then i sipped and OUCH the tip of the teaspoon hit my eyes..it was still red when i got to the office.. but eventually it subsided. it really hurts so next time im drinking my favorite drink i'll remove the teaspoon after stirring.. :p

Curiosity in humans

i real-ICE-d that humans are naturally born curious..

Reason for the Realization:

I was reading twitter feeds and i happen to be one of DJ Mo's follower he posted

something in his tumblr so i checked it out.. by doing that i saw his profile

and it says:

Hi. My name is Mohan Gumatay. Many of you may know me by my stupid radio name,
Mo Twister (that's the rule with Radio DJ monickers--you can't choose it and you HAVE TO HATE IT.)
I have a fucked up Wikipedia page so please don't look me up. Concentrate here. Salamat."

So there he used the magic word don't.. when you get to read my blog post tell me if you looked up Mo twisters wiki page.. :p

Nothing is Constant

i real-ICE-d that whatever we have today may not be there tomorrow..nothing is constant..

Reason for the realization:
I looked up on the menu of one of my favorite fast food resto

then i remembered the gogo sandwich which i usually get when

i eat there but now its not on their menu anymore..

nothing is constant.. today you may have the sweetest boyfriend or

the lastest iphone but you can lose them in a snap..

realization is realization..
