Life Is Still Fair?

I admit, I feel shitty about the uncertainty of my professional life. Frustration just engulfs the whole of me. As I told Acy in one of our chats, it is difficult to start from scratch. It gets you to question your worth, whether you really deserve to be where you are at the moment. It makes you feel insecure, especially when you get to see people (and friends) getting ahead of you. It forces you to (re-)evaluate yourself in terms of how you deal with life, in general.

"Darating din ang time natin," Acy said. Although I am looking forward to that day, can we just forward to the day where we're doing good and skip the dirty parts? Oh, yes, we need to experience the lows to achieve the best in the highs, but how many lows should one get into before self-fulfillment? How many tears do one has to shed before achieving that one great smile? How many wrong turns does one has to cross to get to the right path?

When can I be found?

However, may mga nagsasabi nga, to feel that you're still fortunate enough, look at your surroundings. Ilang tao ba ang walang makain bago ka magreklamo na hindi mo mabili ang gusto mong kainin? Ilang tao ba ang walang matinong maisuot bago mo isiping wala kang bagong damit? How many people are struggling to live because of a disease before you think of ending your life? The intensity of each of our problems may be different from one another but it pays to see the world outside your boundaries. It makes you feel that your still doing OK despite all the hard ships you're facing.

Saka sino ba naman ang hindi mag-iisip na life is still fair when Paris Hilton will go to jail
? Kahit pa 45 days lang 'yun, it is worth saying, "Serves the b*tch right!"

Life is still fair when the news broke out that this aktres-aktresan turned host turned model tuned beauty queen turned socialite is separating with her Turkish-billionaire husband? You can't have it all, girl! Sabagay, you have already proven that life is fair when you showed us that you can't act! Kinailagan mo ngang magnenok ng award, di ba?

Good looks, confidence, money, boyfriend. He seems to have it all until he was rejected by the company where he set his eyes on working. Could it be over confidence on your part? Or could be as simple as they said, no opening yet? But think of it this way, life is telling you to be humble. Mayabang ka, eh. Matapobre. Hindi dahil mapera ka ay pwede mo ng matahin ang mga mababa sa 'yo. The world doesn't revolve around you, gurl. In fact, did you ever think if the world is lucky to have you around?

I know that it is bad smiling about other people's misfortunes. But these are the things that would make you feel na hindi ka nag-iisa at hindi ka pinagkakaisahan ng mundo. Mayro'n pa rin naman pala siyang tinatapik sa balikat at binabatukan bukod sa 'yo.

Pero kung iisipin mong maigi, parang di pa rin patas. Kahit na dagukan sila, mapera pa rin sila! Paris would still be heiress of the Hiltons kahit ilang taon pa siyang makulong. The separated beauty queen would receive a divorce settlement in case the separation pushes through. The "eye-poor" gay guy could still apply for a different job. Sabi niya nga, sa credentials lang niya, marami na ang magkakadarapang kunin siya. Aside from that, he still has money para ipagmalaki sa mga taong wala.

Kaya pakiusap ko sana sa buhay, iba naman muna ang pansinin mo. 'Wag puro ako, pwede?




Life Is Wonderful
Jason Mraz

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying.

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction.

La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la.

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other.

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished.

Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is so full of
Ah la la la la la la life is so rough
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is our love
Ah la la la la la.

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain.

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life is meaningful
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life it is...so... wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
Full circle
Wonderful.
