Change...to change or not to change!

Well Monday is here again. While this of course means the weekend is over, it also means a new week of unlimited potential lies ahead and I do hope this ideas will help you have a happy, productive and meaningful week:)

To Change or Not to Change?

I believe we absolutely can change, if we really want to.

The key is in deciding what it is about yourself that you want to change, and then stopping first to consider why.

I would never again want to change to make another person happy.

I actually believe it's impossible to make anyone else happy. We can each only make ourselves happy.

So changing in order to make someone happy is inevitably going to be frustrating and, likely, ineffective.

But changing because you want to make yourself happier, that to me is a worthy reason to change. And, really, the only worthwhile reason.

Life is good! 

-have a great week-

    Sometimes we have to change because we want to be a better person. I too don't want to change just to make someone happy.

    CHANGE is two-sided but as I grow old, I learned to live with this saying - things happen for a reason. So, I try to route myself to the positive side of CHANGE.

    HAVE a great week ahead, SunnyToast.

    change is good when you decide to change for the better.

    starting it with yourself... is still the best

    this is true, though changing a person is indeed hard but sometimes we can, even to ourselves we can change it but it will take a lot of time. However, if you have faith then i believe it would all come true.

    Thank you SunnyToast for visiting my blog and for the wonderful comment. I appreciate it, really. I look forward for your post about your friends. I am excited, I truly am. :))

    hello there my pretty sunny toast. I've missed this blog. I've been MIA due to lack of decent internet connection, but I'm so back.

    Well, changing for someone can sometimes be good if you will improve yourself along the way. Yet changing yourself just to make someone happy even if you think it will not do you any good is bad.

    You right, of course when you say, we should change to make ourselves happy. It really feels great if you know you can be happy on you're own.

    I am on the process of changing these days. I used to be a very active church-goer. So now, I am reverting back to something I used to do. Well maybe.. that's a good change! :D

    Change should always be something you want, never only about other people. But I also think that sometimes it's important to compromise yourself when there's something more important.

Gatsby Party!

As always, the anniversary party was held at Republiq club , Resort world Manila .  holding an anniversary party is a great way to recognize the hard working employees and such a great pleasure for me as  a part of the company who worked hard for my bills and other responsibility. lol This time it seems like a song resonates in my head after the party, it feels like a soundtrack in a movie but nevertheless it was a fun night. Kabog ang sarimanok ni ate! Kuya ang war nasa Zamboanga...lost in space ka yata! choz!   lafang galore! ubos ang tassle sa divisoria...winner! very Gatsby vibe! kampay! waley paki alam sina kuya basta tagay lang! gorabels! Live band that complete the Gatsby vibe! accepting my smile award at si kuya parang nasa kanto lang ang peg! pagoda tragedy!

Disconnected

  The Heritage Hotel and Stock Market Resto (Serendra)  It's not about what you do. It's about who you are.  It's not about who you are right now.  It's about who you could be.  It's not about what could go wrong. It's about what will go right.  It's not about listening. It's about getting up and dancing.    Life is good!  I'd like to apologize for the lack of posts. I'm back and happy:)

Single...love!

I have spent a significant portion of my life watching sappy romantic movies with ideal couple with guaranteed happy ending is such magical thou expected. I know this is terrible but there is something about them that just seem slightly attainable and relatable to our own life. Not all of us have been assigned a Mcdreamy in this lifetime. Yes! I still have a huge crush with Derek Christopher Shepher of Grey's Anatomy. I’m sorry guys. So you’re single because you’re single. It’s not because you weird, fat or you dress like out of nowhere or it’s not because you did not promptly follow the love chain letter instructions that you have to send it to 20 people close to you. You’re not single because your standards are way too high. It’s good to have standard at least you know what you like.  You’re not single because you did not learn enough from your past relationship or go out on a Friday night after work and have a bottle of beers with your guy office mates instead you ...
