Heart to heart talk: Lessons I learned from High school

Last night, while waiting for the show I've watching, my friend Donna and I talked about so many things, some were serious stuff actually. But we still manage not to lose the fun vibe between us, It's about what life lessons I've learned in High school. We rarely talk too much back in High school because of those private things we've been through but we still talk to each other with the help of social networking sites.
Okay so the first thing I've learned (by myself) is "There were things that better left unsaid" or stuffs you should keep by yourself. If you think the problem or issue you were dealing was easy for you or you can handle it. I think it's better for you not to say or procrastinate it to your friends because it'll just 'cause the issue get bigger. In the long run, It'll be a throwback issue when you guys set an open forum in the future.

The second is you should "Study well not study hard". As a student we faces many challenges throughout our school year. There were projects, quizes, and exams that you should do WELL to excell. What differs from the two is when you study hard you might experience stress, be in a competitive manner or worse, pressure. So I suggest to study well, because you can balance your studies which is your priorities and your social life as a teen or a person. That's what my High school Junior english teacher said.

And the third one is "You cannot always get what you want" more like "Life is not a wishing grant factory" (correct me if im wrong) from The Fault in Our stars. It just appeared to me that even you were 'The apple of the eye' in your school because of your witty, funny, and cool personality does mean all the people you will meet was always in favor of you. As a kid who's kind of spoiled because I always get what Mcdonalds Kiddie meal commercial flashes on screen, it putted a set in my mind that life was easy. But as time goes fly, things were changing and then I realized I was entering the teenhood or facing more mature stuff. And that I should be brave and strong enough despite all of this challenges.

So do you guys learned something new about yourself? Share your thoughts below. I'm glad to here it.

Movie Review: The Fault in our Stars

"Okay? Okay." I knew all of you heard this line from the movie The Fault in our stars. Okay, so this is my first ever movie review in my blog. Last June 5, 2014. Me together with Chin and her school mates Jeemel and Eula of St. Sholastica's College watched TFIOS at Robinson's movie world Ermita; and I figured out some changes of the book to the movie. I read TFIOS last year; September I guess. Borrowed it from my friend Krizzaleen who had a hard coverback copy of it (naks! Yaman)

Okay so my rating for this movie is 7/10. The movie was good but because of it's some changes from the book it gave me a doubt while watching the film. Some of the few changes are the Oranji scene where they should be taking their dinner outside the restaurant overlooking the Canal. The second was the saying in Water's house. It should be "Without pain; we couldn't know joy." Which is my favorite quote from the book not the rainbow thingy, but still it's a good movie. 

I know it's a dream come true for all of you who patronized John Green's work to make this movie happen. According to Candy Magazine the movie should have this scene at the airport where a little girl asking Hazel why does she have a tank and a 'thing' in her nostrils and behind that kid was a cameo of no other than- John Green. Another news I've read in the net was they were planning to create a movie about John Green's another book- Paper towns. So have you watched the movie yet or just starting to head on the cinemas? Well go grab this tissues. Hahaha! 'Cause TFIOS fever is all the rage!

My favorite motivational words

All of us experienced loneliness and low self-esteem. I'm a kind of person who's always cheering up people specially those who's in need or in the state of melancholia. That's why I enlisted my favorite motivational words. 

"Prove nothing, but show something"- superjace28. (That's me)
 Proving something to a person is like creating a promise. It takes guts to prove something. Specially when someone challenges you and you know by yourself that you can't. Well, nothing is impossible for a humble human. 

"After all they're just words"- The Carrie Diaries. 
Who says language isn't powerful? When someone throws you a criticism or say something isn't nice about you. Always remember this mantra, stand straight, shrugg of your hair and say those words :)

"I can do all these through him who gives me strength."-Philippians 4 : 13
I studied in a Christian school since Kindergarten 'till Sixth grade, and every week our teachers helps us to memorize a verse. This is one of my favorite bible verses. I always whisper this wherever I feel like losing hope.

"Have the courage to fail big and stick around. Make them wonder why you're still smiling"-Elizabeth Town.
Also one of my favorite movies, Kirsten Dunst plays a role here of an optimistic person who cheers and uplift the self esteem of a big time loser businessman. I always think of these whenever I fail something then goes back to the track after. 

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 
So you did not passed your "dream college" exam or rejected by a company that is highly standard. Don't you worry, God always have a better plan for all of us. And as the bible verse said, it'll not give us harm, but a hope to prosper. 

"In every dark clouds, there's always a silver lining"- Unknown 
One of my favorite sayings everytime I feel so lonely.

"Without pain, we couldn't know joy."- John Green, The Fault in our stars
Feeling sad because of that recent break up? Go read this!

"Challenge's are spices in life."- Father Nestor (Nestea) Gungon
One of my favorite sayings back when I was in High school. It was our First friday mass and those words couldn't get out of my mind. The best qoute if you ever have a problem.

As we grow older

Picture source from weheartit.com/ edited

  As we grow older, we realize that some things were changed. That things will be differ the way we used to. You will realize that you'll choose to go shop at American eagle or Bench rather than Oshkosh. Realize that you'll choose a quarter pounder rather than a kiddie meal on Mcdonalds. Choose to watch MTV over Nickelodeon. And choosing to go out with friends rather than staying home. 

  Keane (band) once realizes me in their song entitled "everybody's changing" that as we grow older, the problems and challenges that we will be facing in life is getting a little bit tougher. Not just in life, but also in love, family, peers, and personal stuffs. One hot afternoon, I caught my self starring at the ceiling thinking about things I didn't understand back then that was now clear to me. Laughed at some curves and mistakes that I did. No regrets just reminisce. 

  As we grow older, someone will call us "ate/kuya". That finishing your studies is more important than being your all time dream of becoming a millionaire. And most importantly as we grow older and older, we should learn how to look back from where we belong. Kept a foot on the ground while we were soaring high. Life is a long journey of life lessons.. just keep your faith to God and life still goes on.
