The first quarter of 2008 has just ended. Wow, cliche na kung cliche, but see how time flies. Grabe. Napapa-emote na naman tuloy ako. Hehehe. Seriously though, in passing such milestones, I am usually inspired to stop and reflect a while. Sabi nga ni Manong Socrates “An unexamined life is not worth living.” I’ve taken this to heart, sometimes too much, that I tend to mull things over every so often — sometimes too much, that my friends ding me for over-analyzing things. (Those who are faulted the same way, over-analytical folks, please raise your hands! He-he-he!)
There are three things that I always do in such milestones. First, I think of all the things I am thankful for, and given the chance, I actually thank those people worthy of the appreciation. Second, I ponder upon the things I did wrong, and given the chance, I actually apologize to those people who I’ve offended. Third and lastly, I think of the things I can improve or do more of; and this time, I try to encourage myself to really strive to be better, and to do more of the good things I did that have made the lives of people around me even just a bit better.
So in such milestones, I say, Gracias! (THANK YOU!), Perdon! (I’M SORRY!), and Mas! (MORE!) — Gracias, Perdon, Mas!
