SUNSET

 



                     
                                                   Sunset at Patar Bolinao Pangasinan

                            
                There is always something about sunset that brings a sense of calmness. Perhaps it's because, after a hardworking day, you can finally find solace in knowing that the day is coming to an end. If you are on the beachside, watching the sunset is truly magnificent. Standing at the water's edge, gazing out at the horizon where the sun meets the sea, it's as if the sun, like a radiant ball of fire, begins its slow descent towards the waiting embrace of the ocean, casting a golden glow across the sky. 
Sunset feels like a grand curtain closing on a worthwhile day. Understanding that everything comes to an end allows one to realize how to cherish every moment of it.

               As the sun surrenders itself to the horizon, allowing the darkness of the night to take its place, one must also learn to release the burden of what could have been. Just as the day settles, the sun's dance of release symbolizes a fluid motion of surrender and acceptance, where the past slowly fades into the background, and the future beckons with promise.

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...

1+1=3

  “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” — Aristotle Working as an engineer in healthcare for the past three years has made me appreciate this idea in a very practical way. A healthcare facility does not begin with construction. It begins with identifying what the community needs, deciding what should be prioritized, planning, procuring, implementing and eventually maintaining the facility so it can continue serving its purpose. Every stage involves the work of many people from engineers, architects, contractors, suppliers, healthcare workers, administrative staff, maintenance personnel, skilled workers, and many others. A drawing, an inspection, a procurement document, a maintenance request, a repaired pipe, a working light, or a completed room may seem like small contributions when viewed individually. But together, they help create a facility where healthcare workers can do their jobs and where patients can receive the care they need. This has made me realize that eng...

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. B...
