If Today Was Your Last Day - Nickelback


"Out of the billions of people out there, living (or wasting) their lives,
I somehow knew that more than half of them don't even give a
damn to what and whom is around them. They don't care who
gets hurt mentally, physically and emotionally. It's sad when people
choose to help themselves rather than to help others. It's horrifying to
know that people can scoop their parents's eyes out and cut off their
tongues to hide the truth, they can kill their brother for
no reason at all and they can harass their sister just to
satisfy their own personal needs. I don't have any
proofs to strengthen this and i didn't even make a survey
regarding this but i know...i just know it." - JAIMEE


When i saw its music video, I am definitely wowed by the content of the song. It will and can absolutely make you think if you are living your life out of peace, generosity, love and humility (and so on. :p ) or if you are living your life out of greed, hatred and a lot of other of sh*t and crap. When I read the lyrics, i really tried to see through the words so that i could have a good interpretation of the song... And when i did, a question, or should i say a thought, thrust my head.

Let me tell you my perspectives that popped in the air when i heard the song.

What does it take for a police officer to arrest someone? That someone, should be guilty of a crime.
When is the time your parents should ground you? When you disrespected them or disobeyed them.
When do you feed your pet? when your pet's hungry of course.
When do you turn off the lights? When you don't need it, for instance..when it's daytime.
BUT..

What does someone need for him/her to make a move?
When will a person be motivated to help make change?

GUESS WHAT?
THE ANSWER IS SO DARN SIMPLE...

WHEN EVERYTHING IS JUST TOO LATE..
up to the point where...
*WE ALL FEEL HELPLESS
*WE ALL BLAME OURSELVES
*WE ALL HOPE WE COULD TURN BACK TIME
and...
*where WE ALL WISH WE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING
IN ORDER FOR THE WORLD TO NOT END LIKE THIS..

This is what the song is trying to say. Will you wait for that last moment to come in order for you to make your life better? Better, not in the sense where you have hundreds of cars, 10 gigantic mansions and your bank account is overflowing of trillions .. that isn't what i meant when i say "better" okay? What i'm trying to point out is, Will you wait for that last moment to come in order for you to make your life worth living?
Come on, let's say you'll die tomorrow...what would you do? what would you exactly do? i know that you'll mention that you will spend your time with your family because before you were too busy to stay with 'em, talk to them and to actually have a family fun time together, or with your friend because you never told her/him that you appreciate whatever he/she does whether it's kinda annoying or not, or with your lover because you haven't got the chance to tell and to show how much you love him/her... Or, you may say you'll do things that you weren't able to do before, like volunteering for a cause, or sky diving etc...or finally, you will forgive your long-time enemies because you know that this will be the last day that you'll ever encounter them...or pray to God and ask for His forgiveness because your time is almost up and you don't wanna go to hell of course... AM I RIGHT? I AM RIGHT AM I... :) but, do you need to wait for the day you will die in order to do these? why can't you put aside work or hang-outs with your dudes and pals NOW and stay at home and spend a quality time with your family? why can't you show your friend that you appreciate her/him NOW through simple things like being there when he/she needs you, when he/she need someone to laugh at his/her corny jokes, or just help him/her whenever you can? If you cannot sky dive well, why can't you do simple things NOW that could actually help enormously to the society like conserving energy and be eco friendly, or put a smile on one child, do not cheat, help someone...etc. Why can't you swallow your pride NOW and just forgive those who wronged you even if they didn't apologize...? why can't you pray and talk to God EVERYDAY? Why make Him wait until the day before you die? WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DO IT NOW? You have 24 hours right? isn't that enough to do something worth living for on each day?


You don't need death to push you in doing something that could make you a better person and could make your life at ease. That's not the push you need. You just have to open your eyes, open your ears and open your mouth. Open your eyes and take a closer look at reality and ask yourself "what do i need to do?". Open your ears and listen to the voices around you and determine carefully which is a lie and which is the truth. this will be very difficult because you're aiming for the truth behind the lies and we are living in a world where LIE is your friendly kapitbahay (this sounded better than friendly neighbor.lol) so you really need to use your thinking skills. Open your mouth and express yourself but be sure that you're on the right side okay?? State your opinions and respect the other ones. :)
NOW is the perfect Time.. Tomorrow is TOO LATE.

THE ANSWER IS SO DARN SIMPLE...


WHEN EVERYTHING IS NOT TOO LATE..
up to the point where...
*WE ALL STAND UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT
*WE ALL PORTRAY AS HEROES EVERYDAY
*WE ALL HAVE NO REASON TO HOPE THAT WE COULD
TURN BACK TIME
and...
*where WE ALL LIVE OUR LIVES SIMPLE AND
MOLDED IT INTO A COMMUNITY OF SUBSTANCE.
THERE MAY BE A LOT OF MISTAKES DONE AND MANY PROBLEMS FACED,
BUT THERE WERE NO REGRETS THAT WERE LEFT BEHIND..

SOMETIMES...
BEING SILLY IS HEALTHY. :)
BUT BEING STUPID...IS A DIFFERENT THING.

BE A GIRL WHO EMPOWERS THOSE WHO THINK OF THEMSELVES AS WEAK, NOT A GIRL WHO'S A BULLY HAS A BRAIN AS THIN AS A STICK.

BE A GIRL OF REAL BEAUTY AND INTELLIGENCE, NOT A GIRL WITH ARTIFICIAL BEAUTY, A ROTTEN SOUL AND A DIRTY CONSCIENCE.

BE A GIRL WHO SEEKS CHANGE AND PEACE, NOT AN IGNORANT GIRL WHO SEEKS ATTENTION AND WITH A SERIOUS CASE OF "I LOVE MYSELF" DISEASE.

BE A GIRL OF SELF-EXPRESSION, NOT SELF-OBSESSION.

BE A GIRL WITH AMBITION AND WIDE UNDERSTANDING, NOT A GIRL WHO'S LOST IN DIRECTION AND ALWAYS COMPLAINING .

BE A GIRL WHO DISTRIBUTES INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION TO OTHERS, NOT A GIRL WHO HAS SET A BAD EXAMPLE AND DIDN'T EVEN CARE TO BOTHER.

BE A GIRL OF PATIENCE, LOVE AND RESPECT. IN SHORT...
PLEASE, JUST DON'T BE A STUPID GIRL...





**** These statements above is originally made by me. These statements about what a girl (i think) should really be, is actually inspired by PINK's song entitled "Stupid Girl" (i know that some of you guys are familiar with this song..ok..). After hearing that song over and over again...these sentences popped in my head, conquered my brain, and i just have to write it down..Please be inspired and please do reflect.. Because being a girl of beauty and intelligence, reflects what a real woman is..****





here is PINK's music video of "Stupid Girl". You may laugh non-stop because Pink is so hilarious and she's acting really crazy in her music video... I mean, i can't blame you..it's really funny.. But hey, don't forget.. do not just watch it... see and understand what the song's tryin to say.. Her way of handing crazy and not appropriate actions is really is the point of the song. So do not misinterpret :)

Watch this video clip of the Tyra Banks Show and then after let's talk about "the weight issue" that continuously suffocates the whole world.



When you look at yourself in the mirror.. what do you see? What does it take to be called a Beautiful Woman? Do you need to go under plastic surgery so many times to just overcome those nasty criticisms that keep on slamming in your face? Do you need to be a size 0 in order to blend in to the sexy and gorgeous crowd? How far will you go? Will you eat nothing just to stay thin? Will you wash away your natural beauty in trade for an artificial beauty?
Will you let these nasty and inhuman criticism torture you
and eat you alive? or be proud of what you are and be a good influence to
others..? Now, you Choose.
Once you see these videos, your perspective on what you look like will change. You will feel blessed for you have the curves, you'll feel content because you have the body...You will feel happy because you are you. More than half of the girls around the globe, whether they are children, teens or adults, are experiencing eating disorders. these are females who are picked on by arrogant people, calling them names and making them feel bad about themselves. They are victims of harsh words which result to having low self-esteems and starting to diet themselves to death.
Nowadays, people believe that real beauty is what the media portrays. Fair Skin, Slim body, silky hair, red lips and in other words, "perfection". If you're fat, you are ugly. If you don't have abs or a six pack, you are so uncool. COME ON PEOPLE! Don't let these fools control you! So what if you have curves. So what if you're a chubby, so what if you gained weight..SO WHAT!? People who cannot hold their tongues, those who keep on stepping on people's faces are far worse than what they name other people. It's really sad that Even the children today are having symptoms of anorexia nervosa, simply because sometimes parents tolerate them and often times because of what they see in TV, like how models look like. These children shouldn't be burried to the ground. Many have died because of these eating disorders and many are currently suffering from it. HAVING CURVES isn't a CURSE.







You don't need to look perfect just to be beautiful. REMEMBER, Imperfection is Beauty. Never 102% Admire what you see in television, in fashion magazines etc. Never make yourself feel awful. Physical appearance is non-sense when we talk about the categories behind the word "beautiful".

Beauty is what you are. Nobody has the right to call another person names that could hurt theirfeelings. Each and one of us is unique and special in our own way. If ever mud is thrown on your face, wash it off and don't give a damn. Do not let ignorant people get into your head because every inch of you is beautiful. Don't let them kill you slowly. Don't let them crash your confidence... Never ever let them do that to you. Instead, tell them "SO WHAT!? AT LEAST I AM A BETTER PERSON THAN YOU! GET A LIFE AND (as tyra said) YOU CAN KISS MY FAT ASS!!". :)

have you guys watched Ms. Phil-Earth? Me?? Hmm.. not really, i just watched the question and answer part (and i wasn't even able to finish it)... and you know what? la nmn akong ibang ibigsabihin but to be frank? i am not really impressed by some of the candidates... there's something lacking in them...


when i am watching pageants, i always tune in to the question and answer portion, and this time...i was really disappointed... there was this candidate (i dunno which) and her answer is soo wrong... the question is very simple...i forgot what the question is but it is somehow like this. State one of your experiences that motivated you to join in this competition. (not exact but it sounded like that) and guess what the candidate answered..she mentioned about an illness that she has encountered a long time ago (that was a good start until she says..) "like now, i have chicken pox and i stil got this far though i have chicken pox... bla bla bla bla and the attitude too is very bla bla bla" I didn't quite understand her answer but it's wrong, it can be right if she focused on why is her disease became a bridge to join this competition... well, maybe she got nervous... i mean who wouldn't be right? If she wasn't nervous i am xur she'll answer it like whoa! :)


When you are entering the pageant, there may be mixed emotions overflowing but you need to focus... don't let nervous breakdowns eat you... once the question is given...make sure you analyze and understand first before you answer.. no need to rush... but i understand them, the candidates.. and i appreciate them in being the best that they can be... what they have done includes great effort and very difficult... if i were along in the pageant i may have given the wrong answer too...:)


btw, Congratulations to all the winners!!!

WE FELL IN LOVE WITH NATURE!


These are some pictures from our 2008 Tree Planting Activity in Taytay, Rizal. This piece of land is on the hands of St. Scholastica's College-Manila. SSC is trying to help Earth by producing a mini forest. And in order for this to progress, Scholasticans continuously visit here to plant a tree. The scenery is simply breathtaking and we cannot help ourselves explore and get wild and crazy on the venue. The experience is so freakin fun and definitely one of the most unforgettable. The sky is blue and filled with cotton candies, the golden sun smiling bright at us, and the rich soil exerting it's strength to the surface just to offer us a way to walk on. Though we didn't stay there for long, it seemed that we've bonded with nature big time and ended up being BFFs with gaea.
This experience opened up our minds beyond what we already know. And because of the current situation of Earth, we need to use this knowledge, a knowledge gained not by receiving a degree. This knowledge is triggered by expanding your ways of understanding every bit of connection around you. Anyway, here are some of the other photos. :)
