As a Christian Filipino family, we always see to it that in every occasion we start it with a prayer to thank the Lord God for everything He has given us. Also, as a family we follow the sacraments of the Catholic Church.

What makes a good leader?

A leader is someone who tells the subjects and leads them to what is good for the betterment of all. 

A leader is someone with intimate knowledge. This means, that he knows his strengths and weaknesses as a person and he knows that he is not perfect and right at all times.

A leader is someone who is effective. He/she is organized and knows when to get things done.  He/she know how to generate energy for projects, to calm oneself when angered. You can make decisions quickly when necessary.

A leader is someone who knows their goals. Someone whose mind is easily made up.

A leader is someone who is emotionally stable. Someone who can control himself and be patient with the people around him.

A leader is someone who is socially aware. He/she knows when an individual is having a hard time and be completely okay with it.

Being a leader takes a lot of responsibility, but when you’re a leader you actually just serve with the other people as well. The only difference is that you’re in charge to keep everyone else stay in track.

THIS WORKS FOR ME TOO!

Dear someone :)

Dear Ate Pia,

Hi. I just want to say how tired I am as of this moment. There are so many things that needs to get done and passed on the same day. So many demands and so many tasks it takes so much energy and I can’t even take as much rest as I can unlike before. I can already feel the even greater responsibilities and pressure. I know sooner or later I have to grow up, to do my own responsibilities and to be independent. But can’t it all just slow down? I’m a human too. I also get tired and at some point I’ll breakdown. I know that it’s too early to say this but I am so tired of life. Too much expectations and too much pressure. Sometimes I don’t care about anything anymore. That’s all. I just wanted to express my feelings.

Sincerely yours,

Young Pia

Dear Young Pia,

Hello! All I can say is that it’s normal to feel that way in your age. I’ve been there and it really is hard to cope up with all the pressure and deadlines in everything you do. I know that at some point you just want to breakdown and cry, so do it. If it helps you let out some of the burden or some things that bothers you, then cry and let it all out. Trust me, it really helps. I know you’re tired, so take a break. You know that too much of something is bad so try to slow down a little bit. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Don’t try to please everybody because you can’t really please everyone. You’re becoming an adult soon, this is just training ground for you. In the future you’ll encounter so much more than this. So be strong and have hope and faith. Everything will be okay and things will be stable sooner than you expect. Do what you have to do and do the things that make you happy that you’re in this world.

Lots of love,

Ate Pia

HOW DO YOU MANAGE EMOTIONS?

EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT

As I mature and in the verge to become an adult, this means more duties, more responsibilities, as well as more encounter with other people. Encountering with other people also means that I’m going to have to face different personalities and this will be the way of testing my patience and how I can handle my emotions as well.

There will always be a time when I would enter into a certain situation and I’m gonna have to face it personally. Being able to face, for example a conflict, it takes patience and understanding the other side and also thoroughly listening to be able to solve it in a positive way. Whenever there is a conflict you have to not only think of what you feel but also think of how the other would feel. Be sure not to be driven by your feelings when letting out what you feel. Only an emotionally stable person would be able to think that what he says, even just a single word, can lead to a big impact in a conflict. “Think before you speak” is a common quote to us people. And this is true when you handle a tough situation. You have to be open-minded and accept that not all the time you are in the right position. You also have to put in mind that in a conflict it is not a win-win situation but instead it is finding ways to resolve the misunderstanding.

Being able to manage your emotions signifies that you are already ready to engage yourself in the real world, because in the real world you what you say and what you do is final and you can never take it back because the world is a real life stage where all of us are actors and all of us have our own roles.

MY KIND OF LOVE

My kind of love is love that is thoughtful. The kind of love that cares and thinks of the well being of each other. The kind of love that yearns for me every single day without getting tired.

My kind of love is a love that is never dull. A love where you get to laugh to new things. A love where you never get tired of each other. A love that is exciting everyday.

My kind of love is a love that is full of passion. That love where you’re comfortable with each other. That love where you can tell each other anything. That love where you accept each others flaws. That love where you can make silly faces and still be madly inlove

My kind of love is a love that trusts. Where both of you are at ease when apart. Where no secrets are to be kept from both of you.

My kind of love is a love that is God fearing. To put God in the center of the relationship. To put God as the reason of being together.

My kind of love is a love that gives. The generous kind of love that lets you share what you have with the other. The generous kind of love that even time, you are to give.

My kind of love is a love that is full of happiness. Being happy to be together and have on another. Being happy to have found your lifetime partner.

My kind of love is a love that is patient. When one is at the verge of exploding, the other understands. When one is difficult to handle but you choose to stay.

Because love conquers all. A person may have many flaws, but when you love you are able to accept the person as a whole.

Yes, that kind of love.

THIS WORKS FOR ME!

As a student, there are many times that we encounter loads of projects, quizzes, and long tests in just a single week. Thinking about it is stressful enough how much more that we have to do it for a whole school year. But each one of us has our own way on destressing ourselves, and I have my own ways in doing so.

1.MUSIC

For me, one of the best way to relax my mind is through music. Listening to music, playing musical instruments, simply humming, and making musical sounds, you name it! Whenever it’s associated with music this keeps my mind calm and at ease. A little melody can lighten up my stressful mood and this results to me being able to function well.

2.SLEEPING

Well, who in the world does not love sleeping!? -_- This is one of the most effective way in reducing stress.You get to hug your soft pillow, hide under the blankets or wrap yourself up like a burrito and just lie down not having to think of anything at the moment. This helps me reduce stress in a way that it regenerates worn out cells and keeps my body in a calm state. After regaining my energy, I am able to set my mind in a more organized way and I can do several activities simultaneously. 

3.READING NOVELS

One way also that I can recharge my tired body through reading novels with any genre. This way I can divert my attention, even just for a little while, and be able to enter another world as the book being the way. 

4.EATING!!

EVERYONE LOVES FOOD!!! FOOD IS LIFE!! whenever i feel so stressed out and soooooooooooooooooooo tired, I look for my comfort food and after filling  my stomach, I feel so much better.

5.Watching Movies

ENTERTAINMENT TIME! this becomes my way of also diverting my stressed mind to other scenes. This helps my mind to engage in other things such as movies and be able to use it in a more creative way aside from the boring serious mode.

6.SHOUT AND CRY

This always help me de-stress myself, since it becomes away of letting it all out without having to find any diversions but to be able just simply let all of the negative vibes and the burdens to get out of your system.

7. MASSAGE!

This is also another way of reducing stress because it kneads your body resulting to a relaxing feeling afterwards.

8. COLD SHOWERS

This way, it cools my body and mind down and freshens my body. Afterwards, I’m able to do things freely since I feel clean and in a ready to work state!

Dearest me,

How are you? Are you okay? How’s your life going? Are you scared? Coz if you are, that’s fine. Everything in this very moment is just temporary. Because the only thing that is constant in this world is change.

You know you’re smart and capable in doing incredible things. you know for yourself that you’re a fighter and you won’t stop until you’re done. you know you don’t need to be like other because you’re unique. you have your own way of thinking. you are different and different is good. Do not mind what others think of you. You are worth a million of diamonds and not stones. Let go of the bad vibes and take in the good vibes. Be optimistic. Be patient with others. Be calm. Be yourself because that’s what you do best. Think outside the box and don’t limit yourself to what you see only with your naked eye. Be bold and creative. Put your trust in the Lord and you can do anything. 

                                                                                                    Love, Sophie

Ever since I was a kid, my parents are used to tell me that I should become an engineer. My parents supported me so that they want me to reach my dream which is to become a successful Electronics and Communications Engineer.  My parents are expecting much for me.  They wanted me to graduate with a bachelor’s degree especially Engineering. Even though I have a hard time in understanding Mathematics, I love the way that it makes me challenge and test my skills.  Expectations inspires me to do good and be responsible and sometimes expectations hurts.  Even if their expectations is pressuring me, a perfect example for this is our teachers. STEM teachers always expect that we can do anything that they asked for, but I wont blame them because I learned many things because of them

A mandala  comes from Sanskrit meaning “circle.“ Even though it may be dominated by squares or triangles, a mandala has a concentric structure. Mandalas offer balancing visual elements, symbolizing unity and harmony. The meanings of individual mandalas is usually different and unique to each mandala. The goal of the mandala is to serve as a tool on our spiritual journey as it symbolizes cosmic and psychic order.

This is my Mandala. The colors represent on who I am. The small circles around the circle is a representation of my friends. They are the ones who strengthen me if I am worried or depressed. The light colors as you can see is at the bigger part of the circle. It means that I am a peaceful and kind person and my attitude depends on how you treat me and I am not a violent person. The dark colors represent on how I handle the things I’ve been through. Color green represents life which I am thankful because God created life and with God nothing is impossible.

MANDALA

So our teacher made us make our own mandala and once I knew what mandala meant I got a bit excited because of the thought that I get to make my own creative circle, But the thing is, how do I start? How can I make a mandala reflecting me? So when I thought of what composes my mandala, each design had a meaning behind it.

The outer spiky yellow layer and the blue petal like one- this means that though I am soft inside, I don’t easily let everyone get in my life to be free from being hurt and judged, thus the spiky yellow layer.

Conch shell like circle- this one means that I think crazily thus the spiral structure of the shell. A times, I tend to get ballistic in thinking and I do what my head says though sometimes it is a big disadvantage.

The leaves and flowers- this means that I love being outdoors especially when I am surrounded by fields and trees and flowers because this gives me peace emotionally, mentally and physically just by looking and be one with it.

The notes- it is because I love music. I love every note in music because it gives every tune a different taste. Music is so flexible. This also gives me peace especially on stressful days. 

The black and white fish- in legend of korra, there are fishes which puts balance in the world. These fishes also symbolizes a yin yang which has a good side and a bad side. When one goes overboard too much or lesser, it creates chaos and that makes everything out of place. This I should apply with myself since i tend to sometimes unbalance myself especially on worst situations.

The scale- this means the same with the fishes. This scale symbolizes what the world should. In balance.

EXPECTATION FEELS

Ever since I started school, during my kindergarten years, my mom was so hands on with me. She taught me how to write, add and subtract numbers and the basics. With that, I was placed in the honors list until I graduated kinder. From then on, my family expected so much from me, from school down to being the eldest of the family.

In school, during my elementary years I was placed in the homogeneous class and never have I ever been placed in the heterogeneous. From the title itself, homogeneous, it means all the smart ones, wise ones and the best of the whole level are placed in one room being molded. I consider myself lucky at that time since it’s a big and great opportunity to be put in that room. As years passed and I reached high school, I am still in the homogeneous, at that time my parents, teachers and even our batch mates considered us as “nerds” and “oh so smart cannot be reached people”. They expect me to be able to have high grades always, be part of the top 10 etc. During that time I was so tired with all the pressure and expectations being put on me. Tired of being told, you can do better than that, but they do not know that that is your better. Just because it doesn’t reach their set of standards doesn’t mean my work isn’t good.  Also at home, because of being the more mature child, I have to consider my siblings in everything I do. I have to be their role model, I have to be someone they can trust and the list goes on. I know that they put these expectations on me because I��m the eldest but I hope they understand that I also make mistakes.

I know that people put expectations on other people because they tend to see that person being capable of doing such and they can do better than everyone. But sometimes, I just want to be free from those expectations. As a human, I have my limitations. I can’t just suck up to people’s expectations just to please them. NO, this is my life and I do what I want with it and how I want it.
