My dear future anak,
Life is always about learning. From the moment you were born to the last breath you take. Life will give you lessons, it's just how you take it that will matter. Since I am a forgetful bruha, I will put the things I learned in life (so far) here, so that you will know about it when the time is right. My anak, I hope you become a good citizen of this planet. Wag mo sanang laiitin ang english ng mama mo dito sa blog na ito, dahil wala kang baon sa susunod na araw kung ganon. :D
My number one rule is to be kind always. In a cruel world, learning to be kind is difficult. There are things that people experience you know nothing about. Some people carry their burdens so well, you won't realize they are hurting inside. Pag may nanakit sayo, sinundot ka ng lapis, pwede kang gumanti, hampasin mo ng isang rim na kompomban. Joke lang. We will teach you how to defend yourself. Don't return hate with hate. Try your best to be kind, always.
2. Learn to control your temper. Never allow things to cloud your judgment. If you are on your period, don't make any decision muna, hormones will cloud objectivity. Kung hindi ka nireregla, ayusin mo mga desisyon mo sa buhay. We are always here kung may tanong ka sa buhay, lahat may sagot kami. Di nga lang sure if tama lahat.
Things happen, and according to Murphy's law, anything that could go wrong, will go wrong. Fate.
3. Find your happiness. I should say purpose, but I guess when you are happy, you also learn what your purpose really is. It will just come naturally. Let it be your guiding star. When you are happy, you unconsciously fulfill your purpose, it will bring peace of mind.
4. Be of service to others. It is nice to be needed,
5. Learn a new skill whenever you can.
6. Be curious. Explore. Manahin mo sana yan sa ama mong mahilig maglakad, mag explore, at magbasag ng mga vase. Siguro di ko kahihiligan bumili ng mga mamahaling vase para wala kang mabasag, mag paper plates na lang din tayo forever. Char!
7. Know your worth. Make sure to leave and let go when someone doesn't let you grow, and hurt you.
8. Love will come naturally. Whatever's yours will always be yours, no matter what you do. Wag ka sana maging shunga anak, pero since naniniwala tayo sa all is fair in love and war, ayun lang ang allowed instances na maging sabaw ka, sa pag-ibig at kung may giyera.
Love has its own compass. Kahit anong gawin mo, san ka man lumingon o mapunta, love will always be your north. Babalik at babalik ka don, no matter what.
9. Never regret whatever that made you happy. If you did it out of love or care, it is not a wasted effort on your end, it will always be the other person who lost something precious.
10 Take care of yourself. Do whatever that makes you pogi or maganda. Confidence will start on how you see and feel about yourself. Embrace weird, do not try to blend in.
Susundan na lang natin ito ulit ng isa pa, pag nakaisip na ang nanay mong busy, ng mga wisdom, food for thought, at mga diamonds in the sky.
