My Blog

it came to me last night to start things out so i decided to go to church and find out what was installed for me through the message of the preacher. ohmigosh! exactly what i felt before going there was the thought in my head that i’ll be blessed and sooooooooo realized things. the message was about ” Living Life Like Chirst”. oh well, i don’t intend to perfectly do what the bible tells or stop myself from doing things which basically makes me happy (except for those unacceptable in the society but morally right for every individual). the preacher tried to tell the people that if you wanted to change and decide to live like Christ, you have to change the environment where you are in, even your friends, the place you hang out with, the things you do everyday (those that are leading you in the wrong track). i then wonder, do i have to change my friends?? i don’t think so. have to stick with them because i love them. i just have to change the things i do everyday. have to be the “good girl” im supposed to be and make the best of everything i do. recently, everything was hodge podge. i felt i was in the right track but it ended bad. really bad. my bestfriend tells me that “it is part of growing up”. really?? i think i have had enough. shits are making me soooo down everytime i thought of it as COOL and ENJOYING>>> later then i realize that it’s totally *shit*. fine, im making it now obvious that im regretting what happened in my past. the words i used that purported TRAGEDY. *sigh*. is this really me?? i don’t know. i’m sooooooooo fed up with all of these. i wanted to make a new start. i promise!

for my friends.. don’t worry, it never came to me to leave you guys!!! of course not! hehe we’ve been there for each other from the onset until now. i love you.

for you… im sorry. i think this is the best thing i should do. im sorry if i acted so weird and abnormal. i was hurt so i dint know how to handle it. but you were there. u accompanied me but i pushed you out of my life. i thought it was you who made me like this but the problem is within me. i dint know what i really really wanted that i rushed things. it was at my best interest so i became selfish. i never thought of how and what you feel. my fault! but now i know what i want…. it’s not about myself anymore but for everybody. for the people who cared for me.
thanks and *bye* for now.

    She had a hunch that ordinary women would realize their rights and capacities as they enter the era of modernity. And she has just proved herself to be one. It may seem that women of today are pushed with a lot of women empowerment movements but the fact still exists that we( women) in general, are being guarded down. Basically, this blog aims to inspire if not to empower women as they get to know a determined young lady whose efforts and creativity marked her name in my heart and to other people too.
    I consider her as my new friend and a big sister. She’s actually five years older than me but honestly, she looks like my age. I knew her since first year college because her younger brother is my friend and that connection, introduced us to each other. We first had a real and fun conversation when i asked her to allow me to promote her business for my Public Speaking class- Speech to Persuade. Eventually she agreed and that was the start of everything.
    Ate Chum is the person I’m talking about. I admire her a lot not because we’re kind of close now but because for me, she’s the best example of a young empowered woman. A woman whose talent and creative thinking exudes the expectations of this fashionable and modern world. Her unique approach on things made her realized to put up a home based- business (for now) of personalized denim bags and other sorts you think that can be personalized. Literally,  she’s the one who designs the beadworks, denim paints, embroidered names or initials and what may have you. Moreover, she does not limit her works to a very few options of designs but rather she extends to cater the taste of her costumers. That makes her unique in the first place. At first, you’ll be sceptic on her capability but once you see her hand-crafted works, you’ll definitely jump over the fences of satisfaction.
    What’s so amazing and interesting about Ate Chum is that, she started her business on her own. Talking about financial matters, she took it from her savings and of course the added value of exemplary efforts, perseverance and a brilliant mind made her reach this far.
    Ate Chum’s attitude towards her dreams and wants actually motivated her to be what she is right now. Determined enough to fulfill her interests and goals in life. I believe that this should be the attitude of every single woman. I remember she said, " This is my hobby turned into business", this statement enlightened me to make use of my talents and skills to be productive. I may not be as creative as her but there are still other avenues where i believe i am best and will be successful in the future. It’s just a matter of your own will to succeed. As a woman, the only shield that will protect you from a repressive society is your belief and optimism that you can do things on your own without being dependent to other people.
    In this time of globalization, we, women are called to be competitive not only on a limited variety of options but on a wide spectrum of possibilities. Women internationally, may be outnumbered by men in terms of political and business participations but this does not mean that we’re not as good as them. Ate Chum just successfully remarks herself on the business sector of our community. There are numerous women who are making their names in the international arena i.e. Clinton, Rice, Jolie and Oprah to name a few. If we just fulfill our roles and responsibilities, then we’ll truly enjoy the spirit of productivity and equality.
