Give Once And It Will Return Many Times

Be it known that this post is done after some efforts to figure out what strategy to use for the machine problem. Feeling sleepy already, I decided to start writing this post.

Here was the first session:

Just another long-overdue post which I should have written sometime ago but never got the time to sit and write down due to so many commitments or should I rather say, unorganized thoughts that pull me into different directions.

So, Give Once And It Will Return a Many Times. It is sometimes rephrased as ‘Share your blessings and it will return to you a thousand fold’. Whatever phrasing is used, its essence is giving without expecting anything in return. What is so important with this quotation?

Although I like sci-fi and movies, I am not much of a believer in impossible things. Any event that happens is a consequence of a certain action. Without an action, there will be no reaction.

The second session is now here…

I was about to finish this post some other day since I still have some Kanjis to study for tomorrow morning and it is almost 12 midnight. As I was about to shut-off the PC so as not to be distracted, the message bar says a I received a new email. It is from the group.

I am not sure if I am allowed to relay the story so I won’t be able to post it. It is an unfortunate event but it is still about the willingness to give his costly watch to save his trendy mobile phone.

Going back to the subject, I am not much of a generous person that always gives alms to the poor. I am not also as religious as others practice since I graduated from high school but I have always felt that when i give something because I feel I should do it and I am happy for having done such an action, unexplainable as the event may be, something always comes back to me.

There was also a time when I ask for just enough because I had not studied the previous night and I got an immediate answer for passing the exam.

I once held an umbrella under the rain and shared it unconsciously. I had a free bus ticket and I was able to sit down even if there were many standing passengers.

I can’t remember the other events but the lesson is there. Share your blessings and you may not notice it, it has already returned in your life a thousand folds.

Unbearable Toothache

This weekend, I really wanted to rest so I worked on our diagrams for Software Engineering even during lecture hours. I was able to finish one when an instructor did not show up. Unfortunately, the file got corrupted so I have to redraw everything again. I wanted to work last night but my eyes won’t open anymore. As if they have their own mind and went to sleep on their own.

Then, I woke up with a terrible toothache. Worst, I can’t force my eyes to open up. My body is still very tired. I have taken up some medicines but the more I became groogy. I even did some blog posts to wake me up since it’s the only thing I can do without using too much of my brain but my toothache is still bothering me.

I have to take more medicines as the toothache became unbearable but it made me more sleepy. Then, I went to sleep for about 2 hours. It is still bothering me but I need to start studying and working (which one should be first?)

Our neighbor has given a suggestion on how to cure it but I am not sure if I am going to follow her advice and whether I know how to do it. It’s a herbal/home remedy involving coconut.

I have already opened the unfinished diagram but I received an update from Alfa that our pictures were already uploaded. Not being able to remember my Multiply account, I created a new one and spent a few minutes viewing the pictures. Saw the picture of BYJ (know who he is? If not, just wait for future post from me )

Reading her blog, I got an inspiration to blog more and enjoy. So, I started writing another blog post. I really enjoy writing and I wish I have more time doing this…

Inspirations for Writing

What keeps you inspired in writing personal notes or blog? Did you ever experience a hiatus from writing?

One of the blogs I maintained was on how to earn money online. I started it when I was in search of the ways on how to earn online. I’ve tried almost all suggestions I found and have earned some bucks along the way. Then, came the hiatus period. Instead of writing articles, I read program codes.

Lately, I am inspired to write some personal notes (could be more if time permits) again. Maybe, it is because I am out in the world again experiencing what a day is outside my comfort zone. My experiences are widened somehow: wake-up early so as not to be late for the 8:00 A.M. class (late arrival is really frustrating but can’t be avoided sometimes); catch a few minutes of sleep while on the bus or on the train; get bumped by strangers as I push my way up to the train station; run and skip 2 steps of the stairways at a time since the escalator is not working, and the line-up for the elevator is long; and stand for about 40 minutes on the train.

Along the way, there are the usual activities, feelings and observations while watching the outside of the bus or the train (unless pretending to sleep). Random thoughts come to mind. If only a pencil and paper is accessible at these moments, then one will surely be able to write on a variety of topics.

So, are you getting bored with your niche? Go out and have a breath of the (polluted) fresh air. It might be just what you needed for now.

Happy Fathers Day

There was a time when browsing through the cards and notes at the bookstore was my favorite past time. One of the Hallmark cards I bought for someone very special have these words written in a three-fold card.

I Love You

To sunny,
even rainy times,
both stay-at-home
and traveling times…

To video and popcorn times,
out on the town or quiet times,
I’m home from work so kiss me times,
To cuddled up and hugging times
Whatever it is we do is fine
As long as I am with you.

It is Father’s Day today.
To all the Fathers, may you enjoy this day with your families.

0629 Personal Thoughts

I know, I should be working on my assignments right now but I feel sleepy already. Having work on my Kanji the whole day, it seems my mind is still preoccupied with characters instead of codes for my C programs.

Why did I work on my Kanji instead of my 5 assignments and 10 exercises? It is because the computer unit at the office is under corrective maintenance for being infected with numerous viruses (no antivirus installed).

Now, I am writing and updating my blogs (trying to) in order to clear off my mind temporarily.

I thought it will be easier to learn Japanese (Nihongo) in class but in my present status, I am not doing well, as in, not really doing well. Can’t even perfect my basic characters

Just in case you are not yet aware, Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji  are the forms of writing being used by Japanese people. Since I am undergoing an IT training under a Japanese project (note: I personally paid for my tuition fee and hoping to get a scholarship), I have to take this subject.

I’ll be posting some Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji topics soon as I learn them so keep reading.
