Nothing Has Changed

I was fixing my stuff the other day and found my yearbook. I can’t help but browse its pages. I miss my friends, the stresses of a student, the good times, etc., my college life! Then I saw me. Wow, nothing much has changed! Except maybe physically – I look older now, but healthier!

Perhaps you might be interested to what was written on my page. I personally wrote it in year 2008 and thought of it is worth sharing now, after 5 years! So here it goes…

“I hate fake righteous people! I’d rather be with those dreadful group, as long as they are real, than to mingle with the wrong angel. I used to be everyone’s enemy but incidents made me realize not to. I guess I love learning things the hard way! I appreciate life to the fullest and what the world has to offer. These may be the reasons why I am at peace with myself, but not the world. Regardless of those things, I am forever grateful to God, for giving me loving parents and relatives, for sending me unfailingly supporting friends, granting me countless blessings, and for guiding me through every mile. After I graduate and pass the board exams, my diagnosis to myself is, HIGH RISK TO SUCCESS RELATED TO INNATE INTELLIGENCE, ATTITUDE and SKILLS with EXCEPTIONAL CHARM. (That’s the spirit!)”

I'm amazed that years may have passed, but I still have the same thoughts and feelings. Let's see in the next 5 years. Hopefully, I already reached that "success" I was referring to!

Morning Fuel

I am a big fan of having breakfast after waking up in the morning. I used to skip it when I was younger, but by doing so, it just made me weak and frail and thereafter I was not able to do the tasks expected to be accomplished at the end of the day.

Breakfast is our morning fuel. It gives us the necessary energy that would sustain us throughout the day. Without it, our concentration and mood also get compromised.

That's why I supported the campaign initiated by McDonald's Philippines for having the country's very first National Breakfast Day. They gave away Egg McMuffins for the first 1,000 customers per branch. That would be close to 300,000 free McMuffins nationwide.

I am looking forward to having the same program in the future. This way, we could educate people the importance of having breakfast before a stressful day ahead. Hooray to all the people behind this drive!
