Novel & Cerita We Are What We Repeatedly Do

Ngumuso ako, ramdam kong nagtatampo ang buo kong katawan. It feels good especially when you're doing it with someone you cherish. I want to do it again with him. Pero mukhang hindi na mauulit. And that's what I thought. After what we did, it repeat almost everyday. I didn't know that Grey has this kind of energy. Pagod na siya sa work pero nakakaya parin niyang gawin iyon.

Life is not a rehearsal. Each day is a new show, new challenges, new audience, new participants, new characters. No-repeat, no rewind, no retake. Perform carefully, live the best, choose the best and do the best. We cannot do anything about what happened in the past but we can do something about our future. My past is not as important as what's ahead, I cannot let it poison my future...our future. But I have to do something to correct what's done wrong that almost cost me my life.

"Have you ever heard the saying… that life will keep bringing us through the same lessons until we learn to respond in a new way? It’s just like what people often say, things left unresolved tend to find their way back to us again and again. But the very moment we finally choose to face them instead of turning away… that is when we truly begin to find who we really are.”

Ngunit sa bawat araw na pinipili nilang gawin ang tama— unti-unti nilang pinapatunayan na ang pagbabago ay hindi lamang isang pangako. Ito ay isang desisyon na inuulit araw-araw. At sa huli, iyon ang tunay na sukatan ng isang buhay na may kahulugan.

I was sorry for her. It lowers down only after I hand-bathed. If that was so, I could say that water has a calming effect. Therapeutic, huh!

It suggests the elimination of procrastination and inertia. The quoted quote of William James, a great psychologist and philosopher adds to it It says "Sow an action and you reap a habit: sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny."

When we make ourselves the standard by which we judge right and wrong, we create an unreliable and subjective standard. We all cause harm in the way we live, particularly to ourselves. We overreact at the same everyday things, to nobody's benefit. Traffic, long lineups, certain people's habits. We procrastinate even when we've learned again and again that it's so much easier just to roll up our sleeves and do it.

Wala naman din magagawa ang pag-iyak at kahit na makapuno at makagawa pa ako ng sapa doon ,alam kong wala na rin iyong mababago.

Different faces, but same cycle. Parang ganito na lang lagi: may lalapit, may titingin, may magko-comment, may mag-aassume, then I'll either explain myself or choose to stay silent. After that, I'll move forward... only to find myself in another version of the same situation. Cycle. That word keeps echoing in my head. Because that's exactly how it feels. Life is a cycle where you keep going through things you thought you already outgrew, just to realize may lesson ka pa ring hindi natutunan. Or maybe hindi pa talaga tapos, kaya paulit-ulit siyang bumabalik.
