I Tag You

I was at Miguel's blog and it came upon me - a blog post.

March is ending soon and it has been a year since we left the comforts of high school. What happened in that one year after high school?

What I Still Am:

1) I still don't keep a planner

2) because I still have good memory.

3) I still can't cook.

4) I still wait for the last minute before I start working on school stuff.

5) And even after that, I still beat the deadlines, hah!

What I No Longer Am/What I Learned/Whatever:

1) I'm no longer an internet-dependent person. I have learned to live without logging into Facebook each night. I abuse the WiFi at home, though. :p

2) I have learned that eating out alone for dinner (for consecutive days) is heartbreaking. And that it's better if you eat at home instead.

3) I learned Chemistry.

4) I learned how to use the library. And that it's nice sleeping in the SocSci section of the MainLib, teehee.

5) I learned how to be happy. It's the same way about loving. You learn to love yourself first before you can love someone. And about smiling, you have to smile at someone before he smiles back at you. You don't grant someone's happiness by allowing yourself to suffer. Instead, you let them suffer. You let them discover that sulking is a choice. And that living is a choice, too. When they see you happy, only then they can believe that happiness is a possibility.

What happened to you in that one year after high school? Copy, answer, repost.

I'm not sure if this will work but I tried it anyway, teehee.

Re: Moving Forward

Isn't step 1 a lot easier if it is placed at the last part?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Moving Forward

1. Forgive. The first step is really hard, I know. I suggest you skip this and move along to step 2.

2. Forget. This step is followed by a series of steps.

2.1 Eliminate. Eliminate the problem.

2.2 Eliminate. Kill. Annihilate. Destroy. Slay, I mean, wipe out everything related to the problem.

2.3 Act. Act like you really do not see the things you eliminated, killed, annihilated, destroyed, crushed, wrecked, or whatever you did to those. They're gone after all.

3. Smile. Be proud of your accomplishment. Everyone, I mean, everything is covered in a pool of blood. Everything is gone now.

4. Shower. You too are covered in blood. Take off the filthy blood of the world's enemies from your precious skin. You may have eliminated a lot, but remember, it's for the benefit of all.

5. Think ahead. Now that you're clean, think of how so much better your world is now. Think of how good you are, following this guide oh-so faithfully. Think of how your heart turned a lot lighter after leaving all those b*tches behind. Think of how peaceful your nights will be, never thinking about those that bother you.

6. Live. Meet new people. Read the paper. Dance in the rain. Climb a mountain. Give someone a hug. Read a book. Watch a play. Sing at the top of your lungs. Paint a scenery. Kiss your dad. Take pictures. Watch the sunset. Stay up until sunrise. Gaze at stars. Bake a cake. Give a friend a present. Write a story. Play the piano. Make sandcastles. Swim with dolphins. Fall in love.

7. Think back. Think of how beautiful your life is with them gone. You sure are capable of living an enjoyable life without them. Now do step 1. Isn't step 1 a lot easier if it is placed at the last part?

I wonder when I can stop trying step 1 and move to step 2.
