This is what I call LIFE!

There are many things we need to consider before arriving at a certain decision. This has been bothering me for many years now. But life gave me a clearer view of what are the options I need to take a closer look of the situation/s I am into.
I'll take for example the situation I am into right now. I am now a CERTIFIED, LICENSED teacher in the making. But my heart is not completely established with what I have accomplished after a very long time. I can't explain how I've achieved all these in spite of not putting my heart in it. My friend's would say, "that's the irony of life...", a statement I would really react immediately afterwards.

Here is write up I find interesting and worth reflecting...

Life isn’t about keeping score.
It’s not about how many friends you have
Or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend or if you’re alone.

It isn’t about who you have kissed,
It isn’t about who your family is or
how much money they have
Or what kind of car you drive.

Or where you are sent to school.
It’s not about how beautiful or ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on,
Or what kind of music you listen to.

It’s not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown,
Or if your skin is too light or too dark.
Not about what grades you get how smart you are, how smart
everybody else thinks you are, or how smart
standardized tests say you are.

Life just isn’t.

Life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It’s about who you make happy or unhappy purposely.
It’s about keeping or betraying trust.
It’s about friendship, used as a sanctity or as a weapon.

It’s about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful, maybe heartening.
It’s about starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.
It’s about what judgments you pass and why.
And who your judgments are spread to.

It’s about who you’ve ignored with full control and intention.
It’s about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It’s about carrying inner hate and love,
letting it grow and spreading it.

But most of all, it’s about using your life to touch or poison
other people’s hearts in such a way that could have
never occurred alone.

Only you choose the way those hearts are affected, and those
choices are what life’s all about.

Today let this rainbow remind your friends and family
of what life is really all about.

Do you "mean" girls?

It has always been a misunderstanding regarding girls attributes like being "mean"... Most guys generalizes that girls do possess such attribute. Well, i can't really say that I'm not mean but I make sure that my being "mean" is in place...i think you know what I mean...hehe! Here is a definition of what "mean girls" practically MEANS...




1) Girls who are bullies and use "girl agression" (nasty comments, trickery, deceit, excluding people from events, spreading rumors, stealing boyfriends,etc.) to manipulate other girls. They will use text messaging, AIM, email, three-way-calling, and any other weapon at their disposal to acheieve these goals.
(coined by Rosalind Wiseman in her book "Queen Bees and Wannabees")
These girls are often popular because everyone is either afraid of them or wants to be like them. They tend to have armies of followers ("friends"/wannabees) comprising their clique. However, few people actually like them for who they are.
2) A movie based on Rosalind Wiseman's book "Queen Bees and Wannabees" which takes an intimate look at the inner workings of a high school and the all-powerful girl clique who seem to run it. Starred Lindsey Lohan before she went blonde and possibly anorexic, and therefore was still "hot" (see some other definitions). Very highly watched among the high school population as many girls could actually relate to the story.
1) "Those popular girls are always fighting with each other and manipulating everyone else. They're real Mean Girls."
2) "Yeah, I've seen the movie Mean Girls too. Wasn't it great?"
