Change...to change or not to change!

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-

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  23. 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.

  29. 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.

  31. 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

  32. 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.

Happy Halloween

 Halloween here in the Philippines is not like the Halloween in the Western countries. Although it’s a big holiday (comparable to Christmas here), we celebrate it in a different manner. Halloween in the Philippines lasts from the eve of October 31 (or even before this day) to November 2. Due to our strong Catholic background, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are spent remembering our dead loved ones and these dates will usually find most of us in one place only: the cemetery or the memorial park. We don’t celebrate it with pumpkins or trick-or-treats (although this Western tradition is sometimes practiced in some families / subdivisions here). We celebrate it through candles, flowers, prayers and a visit to the cemetery. You might think we have a very boring Halloween here. I mean, cemeteries, graves, prayers, etc. make it look like a serious affair. Not so. Spending Halloween in the cemeteries is a fun event. It’s like a mini-reunion for families and friends alike, a chance to have fellowship with

Starbucks Planner 2012- time to ingest gallons of caffeine!

I don’t have a problem with caffeine. I have a problem without caffeine…oh yes! I’m a self confessed coffee-holic. Last year, I suffered from gastritis due to over consumption of coffee but it didn’t stop me, my blood type is coffee and caffeine isn’t a drug, it’s a vitamin.:) So I switched to decaffeinated coffee (decaf). This coffee has less caffeine or 97% of its caffeine has been removed. It works with me. I no longer suffer from inflammation… goodbye antacids. I must admit that I love Starbucks,  (aaminin ko to, na-eenjoy ko talaga yung kape ng Starbucks bakit ba…social climber..OO ako na..hahaha.) so I often spend my rest day at WalterMart Makati Starbucks with a good book. Since it’s the nearest branch at di msyado maraming otaw…di magulo. Apart from their coffee, I’m a big fun of the yearly planner. Not for me but for my sister.  She has been receiving this gift from me for 3 years in a row na. sosyal at katapos back to 3 in 1 brown coffee na ulit...lol So by tomorrow, C

Solo Travel: Why it's best while you're single?

In the decontextualized words of the Biebs “baby, you should go and love yourself” and nothing says loving yourself like going on a solo trip. With my total control and putting down all my fears behind and the value of the phrase “Go for it” I headed off on my first solo trip on the day of my birthday. I could tell you I decided to go away alone, because I wanted an adventure, I was about to burn out and needed a break and why Sagada? Not that I’m bruised ego or broken hearted or wanted to sing where do broken heart goes at the top of my lungs then shout out all my I’ll feelings at the Kiltepan peek. I know that it’s nice to have someone to cuddle with in Sagada’s cold temperature, one degree colder than Baguio, a walk town which is perfect for me ( love.. leisurely walk) . A close weather encounter to my dream destination. All I wanted is to be with nature, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I want to commune with nature and be with myself again. #soulsearc
