A Day in a Normal Setting


I walked out into the daylight, what a beautiful morning it is. I wonder what would my fate will lay out today. The day seems fresh, it is the type of day that you would see rarely in a million times. This day is my day I hope so. I got some things to do, many things. I hope the day would not ruin my momentum of getting my workload done. 

Oh God! This old man can’t walk any faster? Chill, chill, I have no right to judge this man. At last! This office really welcomes me. Oh here comes the workload, I can do this. Hey joe! Could you deliver these papers to the head manager. Oh he could not deliver it soon enough; he has workloads also. I have no right to scold him. He strives for his family like I do, I do not want these situations to change my beautiful morning. I should understand them in what they do and cannot do. Respect should be on top of those things. Be humble to others and show respect. I think I found an answer to lit my day brighter. Be respectful to anyone, be understanding. The old man earlier and my co-worker deserves respect because they have dignity, and that deserves respect.

A shift in my consciousness stir my day.

A person is not any stray living thing that you can judge and condemn. They have feelings, they have families, they live and love, they have passion, they don’t deserve disgrace. Everybody has their own stories to tell, they have ups and downs, they have different perspectives of this world. My world is not your world, I understand my world and maybe i do not understand yours. We all belong in this vast ocean of life. I respect others not only because I wanted to be respected, the only reason i show respect is that, they deserved it, no matter what they do, no matter in what social categories they belong, no matter what they look like. In the end, to respect one being is to show a very simple language of love to them, and to yours.

A Quick Guide to Studying in UST Good morning, sunshines! Oras na para sunugin ang kilay sa pinagmamalaking Pontifical, Royal, Catholic, at ang pinakabagong titulo, Aquatic University of Santo Tomas! Para sa mga baguhan riyan, nako! Ihanda na ang sarili sa samu’t saring gawain sa iba’t ibang asignatura na iyong makakalaban pagpasok ng unibersidad. Para sa mga karamay kong hindi na fresh, kaunting paalala lang mula sa inyong kapwa-Tomasinong nagluma na. Ano ba ang dapat kong gawin pagpasok ng UST? Make sure you are in your complete uniform.  Kapag ikaw pinansin ni kuya guard, good luck na lang papasok ng building mo.  Wear your ID at all times.  Ang ganda-ganda ng lanyard, hindi mo susuotin? Sayang 300 mo sis!  Greet the teachers warmly.  Sila ang second parents niyo. Nawa’y igalang natin sila nang lubusan.  Show mutual respect to all authorities.  Even our maintenance staff.
