The minor vs The major

     Everyday you wake up, it's a blessing. Yes, a blessing everyone knows that but not everyone appreciates it. What makes up this blessing is the fact the you were given a new day to live, and to make a difference in this world.

     When you start your day with a prayer, you know you will be alright throughout the day. Yet again, everyone prays in the morning for their desires, but not everyone prays consciously.

     These days, respect seems to be lacking in our actions. Everything we do, we're missing something important, appreciation and respect. We seem to forget that the people we work with, and the ones serving us are actually people in return. They have their own lives, their own issues, and their own concerns. We seem to lack notice of that and think the world revolve around ourselves only. Why do we forget that these people may be having a bad day and are forcing themselves to smile and serve us with their best, why do we seem to forget that they maybe experiencing the best day of their lives and forget to say something nice just to add a little more joy to their lives? Why does this seem too hard to perform?

     Funny to mention, it is way too easy to show off and dive into other people's private lives. It is also way too easy to follow the trends and the latest hypocrisy trends, yet too hard to show appreciation and to respect..what is this turning us into...monsters day by day.

     This scares me of the day future becomes near, and their is no decency and kindness amongst people, this may seem scary indeed but still in return I appreciate and respect the very few 1% of this population that really thinks the way I do, that still respects and appreciates and prays sincerely from the bottom of their heart.

     May people like you replicate and outgrow the ones that don't give a shit about anything but themselves.

May 2015

       For this time of year, I was part of two of the grandest events for this semester: The 2015 Annual IT marathon, and the first Undergraduate Research Conference.

      For the first I willingly participated for the sake of change and for the sake of staying away from my studies for a little bit. That worked very well and I'm so glad it did. It was a day to remember in all forms whatsoever. As for the latter, the conference, at first I had a lot of doubts regarding it, but then as a challenge I've decided to step up and give it a shot. With nothing very big to present and basically our abstract to attract attention, my group and I went for it. For the very first time, I can not believe I actually took up this chance and experienced what it really feels like to be part of a conference. It felt amazing actually with all the students from different departments and people from all over the place presenting what they worked for. Regardless of what the awards were, it was a splendid experience.

     For our part, we had to present a project we've worked on for quite sometime, but it didn't work out well and we eventually had to change it. Being so attached to it because of the fact that we worked really hard on it was a bit of a shock but it had to happen. The best part of presenting it to the others was getting a lot of different options, ideas, and positive feedback that got us thinking about it. As a matter of fact, we've planned to carry on with it in our spare time and hopefully trying to progress through it because it's inevitable that projects fail, and this was ..well not a fail but a slant stop...I have a feeling it can progress...I hope it will sometime soon.

Aside from all of this, a lot of life lessons came about as I progressed through May.

• Real life sucks, but you gotta endure it.
• Never forget the fact that you learn from your mistakes and others as well.
• You are being prepared for what's out there, it's scary but you can take your time to train yourself.
• You just have to learn to treat people with your traits and not theirs, because if you use theirs the same way, then there's basically no difference between the two of you.
• Never fear anything as long as your right, only fear god for he is above them all.
• No matter how much it hurts, stick to your words and always be honest, because honesty is the only key to a peaceful conscious.
• Thank whoever supported and stood by you through your hard times, they depict the true meaning of friends and teachers.
• Do not immerse yourself in one thing, diverse diverse and always diverse.
• Be thankful to god, he's the only reason things are working out well for you.
• Even during hardship, thank him because you never know...things always happen for a reason. Let it be good, let it be bad. It was meant to happen and it's inevitable.
• When you're in a team, your a whole. If one fails, all fails. If one succeeds,  all succeeds. It's just the true meaning of a team. 
• Accept other opinions and especially ones from an expert. But always have a saying and always point out what you think and believe.
• Quitting a project after 4 months of hard work, does not make your hard work all go to waste because that's not important. What's important is what you learned from the past 4 months is what matters. 
• Respect and accept what they have to say.

Hello January

Hello there virtual readers,

I'm making a comeback after sometime with my very first post of 2015. I didn't get to say this a few weeks back but I shall do it now : Happy New Year. No I won't go saying the other cheesy things you hear after that catch phrase, so I'll just keep it to that.

Anyways, on with the exciting stuff, so today I just officially finished all course related tasks for this semester (Fall 2014) and boy don't I feel so fly? It was about time to be honest, and I'm so glad I went through with my hard work till the very end. I still have my finals exams to sit for next week, and I'm planning on taking that week by storm to be honest and have a cherry on top.

I experienced a very odd incident today during my last presentation and it was officially the worst I've had so far! By worst I mean it went so badly I can't even find the proper word for it. Throughout this semester I've found out that I have a thing for public speaking, and I actually enjoy presenting and doing all the talking. So for one of my courses I had to work with a group of people that I've never worked with before and we actually weren't that close of friends, but I acknowledge the fact that I will end up working with all sorts of people that I do not know about, so that's a pro actually. Anyways, out of the blue I ended up being the team leader for that group where they didn't talk it through with me, I was just shocked to see my name under the "Team Leader" category, well that was unexpected but it was unavoidable. Just to keep it brief, one of the worst lessons I've learned and actually talked about during my presentation was "procrastination" . The professor was taken aback by that but I loved the fact that he always asked us to be honest whether it's good or bad, honesty will always be our key so that made me feel a bit confident with what I was saying. I clearly pointed out that I was not the type of person that usually procrastinates, I'm the type that gets things done earlier than necessary and always prefer knowing what I should do if I'm working in a group ( i.e. I like the work to be divided on all the team members so everyone knows what they need to get done).

Moving on, some other lessons I've learned include:

• Stepping up and taking the lead
• Elaborating on that, although I was assigned as the team leader, I had to force myself to overcome my feelings of feeling sorry for bothering and pushing my team members to do things early and change the way they usually work because apparently they never worked with someone like me before and that felt burdensome to be honest.

• Working with 3 different personalities 
• I usually worked in a group of 2 members or 3 at the max and that normally went well, but this time it was a group of 4 including myself and honestly it didn't go so well. I've been getting mad and always not comfortable whenever we had to submit documents because I was always wrapping them up a day before the deadline. That may sound kind of creepy but it's just the way I work, I want to get documents done a few days earlier than the deadline because in such a way I feel better in having the opportunity to go through the documents again and edit them if they need to be edited. On the contrary, I've learned to accept that I should also think of my team members and respect the way they work, as long as they get it done then that's all that matters right?

Well now that I got my presentations and quizzes done, I plan on charging my energy and start to get real business done starting tomorrow!

Laters!

The limit

See yourself in others, just like you want things, they also do.

Just like having a start, there is always an end. Nonetheless, there is a limit.

A human being can tolerate just as much as he/she can, however, this does not mean that they will always be able to bare the weight of accepting everything that comes their way. People always said to treat others with your morals ad be who you really are, when you show people the true person you really are, they might accept you and they might not. But that's not for you to care about, after all you are you and no one can change that. The only thing that matters here is if you accept yourself, if you don't then that's where the problem lies. How can you not be confident of who your are? Some say it's a little difficult to accept the real you, but I don't see what's difficult about it..I mean should you find a solution and forcefully accept yourself?...you are yourself whether you like it or not, you can change to the better or you can stay the way you are..after all you will always be you...period.

Talking about having a limit is the main reason for all the words to spill...if someone accept everything you do you should be smart enough to know that there's a point to it all...you should stop at some time to appreciate or to at least show that you care...appreciate what your receiving...that someone has put the effort to listen to your words and to listen to whatever you have to say....just be grateful for that...and remember that just like you have the need and urge to have someone like that...they also have the same feelings and desires...always remember that.
