Important

Today, I woke up at past six in the evening. Take note, it was evening. Why is that so? Because, I slept past 7am already at the same day. I was busy taking up online tutorials about Photoshop and I got carried away with them. Haha. Some tutorials were very easy to understand because they were on video and I watched and followed what the video presented. Some tutorials were text based and I think if you are just a beginner, you'll have a hard time following some instructions, like me. Hmm, I also did episode watching with this cool website which allows you to watch movies, tv shows, anime, documentaries, etc. COOL!!! I was also lucky because I was able to find on a certain website a tagalog version of Cinderella episodes, a morning cartoon series which I really like!!! Hahaha! The child in me is now speaking up! I swear, the story is very "nakakakilig". Even though I am now on my way towards the 19th year of my life, the story is still able to catch up on my taste. Anyway, Cinderella is my favorite cartoon character ever since I was a child!! Plus, each one of us has his own childish side, right? I so love being a child, sometimes. :p

Headache will strike, I can feel it. Since I slept all day, I wasn't able to eat meals, and now my head will suffer. Oh please, no, not now. I still have tasks to finish. Ü

The so called petix week is over. Hello to Maam Turaray, which means hello IDS class and hello to waking up early again. Raarrr.

What else? Hmm, I'll start taking down my short term goals so that I will know what I SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be doing. Making goals for yourself is like providing yourself a clearer path for the journey. As what our guidance counselor said, "always know the whys" of what you are doing. It's true, very very true. I think having goals will act as your motivation in everything you do because sometimes, when you are tired of what you are doing, you ask yourself why do you need to do this, why do you still need to do that, etc, etc. You question yourself, "is it really worth my time and effort?", "what will I get out of these?". Without any goals to strive for, these questions will be left unanswered and will be useless. You will just find yourself like a wanderer with no certain destination to arrive to. But if you have your own set of goals, each time these things come to your mind, you will be reminded that what you are doing TODAY, is VERY IMPORTANT because they are steps in taking you closer to the GOALS that you really want to achieve, whether it is short term or long term. Whew.

Okay okay, what about my long term goals? I have some in mind but I still need to make them SMART. Hahaha!! What is SMART?

S stands for SPECIFIC
M stands for MEASURABLE
A stands for ATTAINABLE
R stands for REALISTIC
T stands for TIME BOUND

SMART are tips on how you should make a goal for yourself. I got it from our Guidance Councelor. :)

When I am sure of what my long term goals are, I'll put them into writing so that whenever I forgot about them, there will always be a piece of paper that is ready to remind me about them and the essence of what I am doing.

"IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE HEADING."

Okay, I lecture a lot, what about the lectures that I still need to memorize? What the!!! Bye for now! :)

Btw.. before I really sign out and focus on reviewing, last Thursday, I saw my friend somewhere in the streets of Dapitan. If I am not mistaken, it was Asturias? And then after he finished talking to one of his "friends", he asked me if we could tambay for a while. I agreed. We sat in front of the building where I am staying every school day and then afterwards we got bored and went to a place where we could drink. Haha. Good thing we only ordered one beer for each of us. If not, we would be going home crawling due to drunkenness. What I like about that night is that, we really had a SENSIBLE talk. It came to a point that we were really discussing about the church! Haha. But my favorite was when my friend talked about you "being important to someone." Someday, somebody will come into your life, somebody who will make you feel that you are IMPORTANT enough, somebody who will see your worth, and somebody who will be happy having you in his life. Aww.. knowing that you are important to somebody is just plain SWEET! :)

Important is my word of the day. :D
