Appreciation


When was the last time that you’ve genuinely said thanks to someone for being part of your life? Was it an hour ago? A week ago? Or was it something that had completely escaped from your mind? Is it something that you find so trivial? Maybe it’s because you know that these people in your life are just here around you, that you don’t find the need to express your appreciation for them. But you don’t know that. Everything is just so uncertain in this world that many events can occur in a single snap of a finger. 

Time is fleeting. You see these certain people everyday, converse with them everyday and bond with them everyday. Next thing you know, they’ll disappear and the regret of failing to say the words that you’ve ought to tell them will well up inside you. And yet, the only thing left for you to do is to accept things and move on. Your parents, for example, won’t be with you forever and everyday should be a chance for you to show your gratitude to them. Say thank you for the sacrifices, the love and care that they’ve given to you. Aside from them, your friends are also the people whom you spend most of the hours of your day with. Say thank you to them for being there with you when times are hard, the help that they give you with your academics, and everything else in between.

Kindness is something that this world lacks, and expressing your gratitude to anyone who has done you good is an example. Our existence in this world is too short to hold unnecessary grudges. Acknowledging the people around you doesn’t take more than a minute to do so.

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. No one should be disrespected! Anong dapat kong dalh...
