From My Inbox v. 3

To further decongest my inbox and so that I can share it to everyone else, here are the text messages that I have recieved. I have already expanded the words that have been 'shortcutted' to give justice to the murdered words of the English and Filipino language. And I have also added my thoughts on these messages.

"A good person is never alone. One who sows thoughtfulness reaps respect. One who plants kindness reaps love. Enjoy the fruits you've sown so well! Happy birthday."

[One of the few messages that survived last 2007. Actually I still have a few messages that had been sent to me two years ago. This message made my 17th birthday meaningful. But I had no idea then what was going to happen to me on the 17th year of my life. Anyway, my best regards to the person who sent this, Kuya Josh Tiongson which I think graduated from his master's degree in civil eng'g here in UP. Good luck po.]

"Think about this: It's better to cross the line and suffer the consequences than to just stare at the line for the rest of your life."

[I have crossed a lot of lines and now, I'm suffering the consequences right now. At least, the consolation I got is I learned a lot. I just hope I could get over it.]

"Life isn't perfect. You will have to cry and fail. You may also lose hope. But hey! Let me just remind you: I'm here not to make life perfect but to make life simple."

[Sorry for my English-speaking readers, I'm to use Filipino to fully express myself. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na sinasarili ko pala ang problema ko. Hanggang ngayon, wala pang nakakaalam ng kalagayan ko. Ewan, hindi siguro kasi ako iyung klase ng kaibigan na lumalapit lang kapag may kailangan.]

"Just because something is good it doesn't mean we should pursue it right now. Remember that "the right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing."

[Does this tell me that what I'm thinking is good right now would be wrong again? I'm really confused on what to do.]

"I believe in Christ like I believe in the sun. Not just because I see it, but because by it I can see everything else." - C.S. Lewis

[I'm still holding on to him. I admit that during the very turbulent times of my life, I have rejected him. I may have attended masses but my heart was not at it. Siguro kung hindi ko umalis sa piling Niya dati malamang na hindi na aabot sa ganito ang lahat. And so a word of advice: huwag kang bibitaw sa kanya.]

"A friend defines the real meaning of friendship:

It isn't based on how many secrets you share. It isn't how well you get alongnor how much you like each other. It isn't how people see you together.

But, it appreciates the differences, the gaps, the hindrances, the trials and still a friend looks at you straight from the heart; without hatred, without judgement, without envy, without criticism.

Only PURE ACCEPTANCE."

[It is very true. Also, I would like to add that a real friend would also tell if you have done something wrong and a real friend would not take it against the person.]

"Philosophers have only interpreted the world. The point however is to change it." - Karl Marx

[We Filipinos are really 'fond' of talking about politics; the scams, scandals, problems and capping it all with elections. We always cry that something is wrong but we don't do anything about it. Is is time for us to start doing something?]

"Find love when you have time and find time when you already found the one you love."

[It's really true. Iyun lang..]

"They who clear the clouds for others will get some sunshine for themselves. They who give light to others, make themselves the brightest star. Happy birthday JR!"

[Another birthday message for me that made my day. To my dear visitors, what do you think is most important: help myself or help others? I'll be waiting for your answers.]
