FUN = FRiENDS

ef-yu-en is not the only way of spelling FUN for this one simple word equates friendship.

yes, indeed friendship poses happiness -- a happiness that is incomparable; a happiness that is beyond material measure; a happiness that may always be kept in the heart; a happiness that is certainly more than just a simple luck.

old friends stay in the heart. the good old days are never forgotten. the smiles kept in the memories are always cherished. the laughters that once roared are still heard. nothing can really beat good old friends.

but of course, making some new friends can also be fun. you're not just allowing yourself to be open to other people, but you are also making a bigger space in your life.

new acquaintances mean new experiences. and new experiences are new adventures.

it's not that old friends are boring and the new ones are more fun. it's just that... it's a new opportunity for us to grow with various and different kinds of people entering in our lives. for these NEW faces may have a different impact on us and may teach us something that we are yet to discover about ourselves.

good old friends can never be forgotten; and the new ones that arrive -- they can be kept in the heart, just like how we keep an old friend.

personality ko daw?

i happened to read a note tagged to my friend about personality tests. i got interested into it and had a try.. so, here's the result.

a part of it says of the truth.. and the other? naaah. i don't know yet.

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Parfocality

PARFOCALITY. and i have finally decided to change the name of this bloggie from the old one "live. laugh. love ♥♥♥" to PARFOCALITY ♥.

but what do we really mean with PARFOCALITY? well, actually, i got the word from our laboratory activities.

so, what do we really mean with parfocality?

according to Wikipedia parfocal means having stayed in focus even when magnification is changed or sometimes, it only needs finer focusing.

so, you see. the microscope objective is something to inspire.

as an individual - an MLS student, a striving young lass - i must be able to develop parfocality. this is something i need to have, especially during these days. i need to focus. i need to be flexible. even if life's magnification of hardship changes - be it increases or decreases - i must learn to relax and focus. relax and chill. focus on what is important and what must be my priority.

parfocality. everyone must learn to develop it. everyone must strive hard to focus.

~stay parfocal.

i'm one step away from AYLC.. but am i really?

up until this moment, i still can't believe that i got into the FiNALS of AYLC and i am one step away from the congress. *excited* i've never been thinking about this lately, actually, not until the day Ma'am Anaflor told me the good news. :)

you see, it's such a great blessing. i wasn't able to celebrate much my birthday due to financial problems. plus, there are a lot of books i have to buy for this semester. and here comes the letter from the secretariat of ayala. :)

you really think i got what it takes to be a young leader? do you think i deserve this chance? i mean. imagine. there were people ahead of me (2batches ahead of me, specifically) who weren't able to become a finalist. and to think they were much better than i am. they were able to participate and initiate various activities that help shape the students, as well as the community they are serving. but.. i always wonder why they weren't able to get into it.

and that is why now, i am wondering if i really have what it takes to become a part of the ayala young leaders.

we'll im just madel. nothing more. nothing less. i spill a lot of things. i create a lot of mess. i am irresponsible. i seldom don't care about other people. i am noisy. i am not actually a good model of the youth.

i just love what i am doing. i love leading a particular group. i love participating in various school activities. i love being involved. i love working with people (and sometimes all by myself). i love having fun through activities.

that's all. :)

i think it's just because i have the confidence. but.. do i really have one?

haha. i'm confused now. but i'm not losing hope to myself. i just need MORE REFLECTiON. :)

God puts me here. He has reasons for it. and i know i DESERVE it.

ME = FiGHTER

Miralyn Madel Inso Abapo is a fighter. she may cry like a child and get scared most of the time, but still, she's one person i would like the world to have. 

she's annoying and many hate her. sh'e been laughed at and she feels belittle because of that. but even so she's all in pain, she still knows how to fight and to laugh.

she may be angry, but that anger would just pass by.

she may learn to hate -- it's because the world has given her reasons to feel like such.

she's happy and she has so many reasons why she should be.

she's super blessed, although sometimes she fails to recognize it. 

more so, she is one person the world knows not. but soon, when the right time comes, she'll be able to prove the worth she possesses.

she lives like she has no tomorrow; she laughs her whole heart out; and she loves, even after being constantly rejected.

the world is so big; i have so many reasons why i should not sulk into depression.

iiLOVEthisLiFE.
