NICE to Know

being a cabin crew takes a lot of mental, physical and emotional strength...we are human beings as well! with feelings, with thoughts, who can feel pain and disappointment...this job is not for everyone... we are specially designed  people who are capable to endure unexpected changes around us...we deal with different people of various ages, gender,  nationality, sickness and attitude problems, yet we can still smile and enjoy life's joy and wonders...we have a big heart and so much care to give...we like to be surrounded by beautiful things and ponder on happy thoughts, travel around and take photos as much as we want...we are people too...it's just that we are unique...and complicated at times...being a cabin crew is not easy... we are constantly challenged by change...and we quickly can adapt to it...we mastered flexibility, and multi-tasking, giving fake smile to guests when in fact we may be broken inside because of personal problems...yet people don't see this...only they think we just walk around, spend money, put make-up on and talk about boys...we are not only there for your screaming that your special meal is not onboard or that there is no ice on your sprite, that your monitor is not working, that your seat does not recline, that you had a delayed flight, that we make you remove your baby from the bassinet during turbulence, that you are not seated together with your family...or that why there is a long queue for the toilet...we are onboard to make sure you are comfortable and safe onboard, that when you start having siezure, heart attack or deliver a baby we are there and we are the ones who will save you as we are trained to do so...we are nice people, we don't need to be on our knees for you to be nice to us as well... we are people like you. TREAT US THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED...

One always has to know when a stage comes to an end.

If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.

Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden?

You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. You can tell yourself you won’t take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that.

But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister, everyone will be finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill.

None of us can be in the present and the past at the same time, not even when we try to understand the things that happen to us. What has passed will not return: we cannot for ever be children, late adolescents, sons that feel guilt or rancor towards our parents, lovers who day and night relive an affair with someone who has gone away and has not the least intention of coming back.

Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away.

That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place.

Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood. Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else.

Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the “ideal moment.” Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person – nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important.

Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust.

Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.

TRAFFIC LIGHTS of LOVE

Love is like a traffic light. There are three colors which become our guide to know when to stop, to let go and to take action.

STOP
  • Loving someone so much doesn't always mean they're the right one for us.
  • Hindi laging may happy ending kapag nagmamahal ka because true love never ends.
  • May pagkakataong mararamdaman mo ang sakit na dulot ng pagmamahal mo.
  • Masakit isiping may mga taong hindi kayang magpahalaga sa mga taong nagmamahal sa kanila.
  • Sabi nga...it's better to accept the fact that you are not appreciated than to insist yourself to someone who never really see your worth.
  • Habang patuloy mong minamahal ang taong yun, mas lalo kang nasasaktan dahil natatakot kang tanggapin ang maaari pang mangyari-- na ang taong buong puso mong minamahal ay bulag sa pagmamahal mo.
  • Hindi porket mahal mo ang taong yun, siya na talaga ang para sa'yo.
  • Natatakot kang mawala ang taong pinakamamahal mo. Pero siya ba, takot ding mawala ka?
LETTING GO
  • Letting go doesnt' mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be.
  • May mga bagay sa mundong hindi nakatakda para sa atin. Maaaring ang mga bagay na ninnais natin na maging sa atin sana, ay iyon pang hindi kailanman magiging atin.
  • Kailangan mong matutong magparaya -- "let go" -- para maka-move on at maka-get over tayo sa sakit ng nakaraan.
  • Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go. Masakit? Oo para sa katulad mong nagmamahal.
  • Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away ang going aways means forgetting.
  • To let go is not to deny but to accept.
  • The hardest thing to do is letting go not because you want to, but because you have to.
  • May mga taong darating sa buhay natin na siyang muling magbabangon sa atin sa kabila ng pait ng nakalipas. Huwag nating isarado ang puso natin dahil sa tayo'y nagparaya, nagmahal o nasaktan, kundi may taong handang pumasok muli.
TAKE ACTION
  • While someone broke your heart, another is waiting to fix it.
  • Proceed with caution: "Careful forethought to avoid danger or harm."
  • Natatakot tayong masaktan. Natatakot tayong harapin ang pwedeng mangyari. Natatakot tayong magmahal muli. Kaya nga nauso ang salitang 'courage". 'Yan ang kailangan natin to "take action."
  • Kung ang traffic light ay may yellow light para sa caution sign, sa love ganun din kung alam nating masasaktan lang tayo.
  • Huwag na nating pahirapan pa ng husto ang sarili natin. Kung baga sa elevator, kung alam na nating siksikan na, huwag na tayong magsumiksik pa. May hagdan naman ayaw lang natin pansinin.

REALIZATIONS for 2010

I guess this is the effect of one whole day with nothing to do. One wounded heart. So many heartbreaks in my lifetime. Several casual dates.
Hence, these are my thoughts…. 
  1. You can never teach your heart who to love. (Despite numerous attempts of doing so, if there ain't no sparks, there ain't no love.)
  2. Most of the time, you only get one chance. So better make the most of it. Rare are those given second chances, especially in relationships.
  3. Live each day like tomorrow is your last.
  4. Live without regrets. In love, give it your all. But if it still fails, hold your head up high. You've done your part. Relationships are supposed to be 2-way.
  5. After hitting rock bottom, there's no other way but up. (But try not hitting rock bottom often, ok?)
  6. Do not commit the same mistake thrice. Twice is acceptable. Thrice, unforgivable.
  7. The most painful thing about love is: loving so much someone who can never love you back as much. (Hello, Juan.)
  8. Waiting is tragedy. Expecting is more tragic. You always end up crying, or having your heart stepped on several times.
  9. Why fight for someone who does not fight for you, and who hasn't given you reason to do so?
  10. If a guy refuses to commit, he's just not that into you. (or may hangup pa sa ex. Hay!)
  11. In any relationship, the only person you can control is yourself.
  12. Never try to change him for how you want him to be. Might as well be married or have a relationship with yourself.
  13. Come to think of it, I'm thankful I only had few years with you, than to have spent the rest of my life (or 50 more years) with you in lies and deceit. 
  14. I do not regret loving you so much. What I regret is, believing you loved me as much.
  15. I have already forgiven you, even though you haven't asked for it. All you need is to forgive yourself for hurting the one person who has loved and accepted you for all that you are, and all that you are not.
  16. I've forgiven myself for all the mistakes and shortcomings I could think of I committed during our relationship.
  17. Live well. Laugh often. Love much.
  18. Know your worth. Surround yourself with family and friends who will remind you what and who you truly deserve.
  19. Embrace pain. Never run from it. Wallow if you must, but give yourself time -- when to say enough and time to live again.
  20. Keep a friend who'd be willing to stick it out with you at your worst, and at your craziest. They'll make you sane.
