CrossRoads











It has been a while since I tried to write something, after being carried by the waves and trying to control the flow in which life is trying to lead me. I didn't even know if I am an adult now because I still think I am not yet mature enough to face the future as I was being carried away by the present maybe it is because of the pandemic or perhaps because I was just the go with the flow guy til now? or maybe I was just playing safely inside my comfort zone in the past years.

Being 25 I always remind myself to take it slowly but it is hard to take it slow when the world revolves too fast even though I have some achievements under my belt it is still the feeling that I still didn't achieve much or maybe I was just aiming high when I don't have the perseverance and the mindset to get what I want at this age. Being 25 means a lot of choices maybe it was the crossroads that determine where will life will lead you? or maybe it was just another age year waiting to pass in this boring life. 

I have savings it has always been a mindset of mine to save. To delay gratification to get what you want later in life legally and honestly. But having savings is not enough in this economy, even though most go with the joneses and just live paycheck to paycheck, and having a 6 digit saving in a third-world country is a privilege you will never know what will happen in the future or it is just me the pessimist who always thinks that the glass is half full? Nevertheless, I am proud of myself for not going with the crowd. Being 25 is you questioning your past decisions, making hasty decisions in the present, and worrying about the future. Many decide or mostly by accident have kids at this age foregoing their future plans for the sake of having a child. While some become good at parenting many failed in this part of life early. While having a child will surely hasten one's growth it will affect one's dreams and his future plans. Hormones are not enough reason in having a child that is why having a good sex education is important while I think that I am intelligent enough not to make a blunder I still think sometimes if I will be a good father, maybe it was just great thinking that you can see someone grow as you are growing as well.

As for Love? Who knows maybe I just live my life thru 50 and that's it. Maybe Rick (Rick and Morty) was right that love is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. There is no such thing as ideal even the ideal Gas only works because we assumed that conditions are ideal when in reality it is not. People change and so as to circumstance, it is easy to indulge in one's personal character but it is also easy to change the image of that person in your head. maybe love is not ideal but a continuous pain? or love is really pain, or maybe it is the pleasure of being with someone that soothes our idealistic view of romance. nevertheless, opinion changes and at 25 I will just live thru it and just think that life is really short reminding me of my bro that lives just short of his 14th birthday.



Being 25 means Going with the flow but making sure you have the paddle as you may not control the flow and current but you still have the control of the decisions that you will make. No matter what the circumstance is you can overcome it.

Everyone was a slave of Something (AOT Reflection#1)

  In the world of anime, characters often serve as windows into the human experience, and few illustrate this better than Kenny Ackerman from "Attack on Titan." Despite his initial portrayal as a tough and ruthless character, Kenny's philosophy, shared in a poignant moment before his death, unveils a profound understanding of what it means to be human. As Kenny faces his final moments, he offers a quote that hits home with universal truths about human nature. He acknowledges that everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances, is driven by various desires and attachments. Whether it's enjoying a drink, seeking love, following religious beliefs, or chasing power, these desires shape our lives in profound ways. Kenny's insight into this shared human experience is a testament to his understanding of the complexities of life. What makes Kenny's philosophy so compelling is the contrast it brings to his character. Despite his tough exterior and reputation...

       A psychologist once said, 'Relationships are transactions of value.' The transaction remains invisible when functioning well. However, no matter how strong the relationship is, if individuals are in different phases of life, one must let go while the other accepts it's end. Saying goodbye may be bittersweet, yet it involves hoping for someone's best interests and trusting that they will live their best life until their paths cross again. .....  SA QC, SA UP, SA KALSADA NG BGC.

Just a Reflection While Drinking My Morning Coffee 🌞

  Approaching 30 made me realize how real the “hedonic treadmill” is. At 22, I once thought:  “Once I graduate and pass the board exam I’ll be happy.”  “Once I get the job, I’ll feel successful.”  “Once I save money, I’ll finally relax." Then I achieved those things… and my brain immediately created a new target. The goalpost keeps moving. A degree, license or certification becomes “not enough.” Savings become “still lacking.” Progress becomes invisible because comparison never stops. Especially today, where social media lets you compare yourself to everyone: the millionaire your age, the young professional traveling the world, the politician or businessman who inherited a position or business, the person who seemed to figure life out earlier. As a Filipino nearing 30, there’s also silent pressure:  “May bahay ka na?”  “Kailan ka mag-aasawa?”  “Magkano sweldo mo?” You start measuring your worth through milestones instead of fulfillment.
