Learning how to think better

This soaring hot Saturday is keeping me uneasy today. Aside from the fact that I am left alone at James spacious room, I cant find enough reason to smile.

Things are quite becoming a challenge to me right now. Stuffs I want do not go my way so I might as well deal with it. Early this morning I stumbled into a TV program that I swear could get in my nerves for a while. They were talking about handling problems, weel, in their case, marriage life.At some point, while I really get engrossed by the guy's so sweet voice, I actually got some pointers about life itself.

The guy said that problems should be seen in a lighter manner so we can have a grasp of what's up on us. He was even metaphoring a black paint on the wall. Black paint connotates a problem on the wall. Yes, it is easier to see it blankly as a problem and admit it on yourself that it is actually a black stain on the wall.

But then again, we can think of it as a white colored paint though its actually black as BLANK and at the same time, work on it by painting it white so we can achieve it.

In a much simplier note, a problem is a problem if we see it that way. But a problem is a challenge if we see it that way. Possitivity is the key to work on any circumstances that we have. It may sometime be a deviation from truth but at another look, it may see like an optimistic look at one's life.

I am turning 24 next, next week. And everytime I have my birthday, I always look back on what I had achieved on the past year I have been to. I am at least proud of what a 23 (to turn 24) I had been but I only have too much to do as I still have dreams to achieve and too much plans to work on.

a smile in the midst of sorrows

Sorry I havent been posting travels lately. I was about to be in punta fuego until my eyes hurt badly that I was pushed to stay at home and rest my eyes (so they say).

Tomorrow's another day and yes, I am off to be on my new job. Oh, did I mention that I am working on a travel magazine starting last week and I am actually looking forward to work now, unlike the past few months.

Two Glasses: Defining based on who you are.

Ciao and hope to travel this weekend!:))
