Man in the Mirror
Dax
Have you taken a look at youself in the mirror?
Did you like what you saw?
It may appear pleasant or maybe not, but sometimes we no longer know who are we facing with. We know when to decide, what to choose, what we want and what we do not. We are certain of the life we like to live, of the people we want to be with. We are sure of the things we can do and we cannot...of our limitations.
At a particular point in her life, she thought she was brushing someone's hair. She was staring at someone else's soul because they were not the eyes she was born with anymore. She would like to sit for a while and think of all the things that have been happening...that slowly turning her whole being upside down. She's been hit consecutively. She does not want to think she was hurt or had she die? Because she does not know the person anymore. Another persona is slowly surfacing. Someone she does not like.
I was trying to recall the girl playing chinese garter or piko in the middle of an improvised playground. She was carefree. I think she was full of ideals then oblivious of the true world she is to encounter in the future. Her laughter was contagious and she is loved by everybody. Others are saying of the things she'd achieve because she is smart and witty, they say.She was full of dreams. She just wanted to be happy. Live a normal happy life in the future.
As she was now staring in the mirror, she was crying.
Maybe she is not happy. Or maybe she does not see herself in the mirror anymore.
hi Cloudedmind... very apt name 4 U.
when i saw d title, naalala ko song ni MJ.
"I'm starting with the man in the mirror,
(Man in the mirror-Oh yeah!)
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)
No message could have been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
(You gotta get it right, while you got the time)
('Cause when you close your heart)
You can't close your... your mind!
(Then you close your... mind!)
That man, that man, that man, that man
With that man in the mirror
(Man in the mirror, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man
I'm asking him to change his ways
(Better change!)"
I guess that little girl have grown and learned that there's no fairy tale, nor a happy ending.
Life is hard, a struggle. You need to fight back when it bites you. You need to adapt quickly or else you'll be lost and confused.
As Alanis said, "you live, you learn..."
Try to look back in the mirror. If u don't like what u see, dont u think it's time for u to change? Remember, you are the one who makes ur life.It's up to u if u want a better life or a messed-up one.
Also remember that YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE.
quoting from one of Og Mandino's popular line huh!
hindi naman. gasgas lang maxado yung line na un. hehehe. but it's true.
kelan kaya tau magkakaron ng Inuman Session?
kaya pala cloudedmind ka. Ü
anlalim pero tama ka. dati kasi simple lang buhay no? or is it just us who makes things complicated? ah.. baka tayo nga lang. Ü
we really have a choice. Ü
Hopefully soon! uwi ka na kasi dito dha, and dont forget the vodka!
Very well quoted song from MJ, ganda ng message!
I am expecting too much from you che, and it's not too late, time and fate are in your hands, and your life depends on how you're gonna play with them, be witty!
luvyah!
che, dapat "woman in the mirror" to. Ü
smile. Ü
Anne, I know sulking in wine wouldnt help solve the problem pero sabi ni dha she'll bring over a bottle of vodka! bday gift nya sakin yun, di para dito sa senti ni cloudedmind (pero pede na rin) hehehe! diba dha? :)
whatever. hehe.
Yes Shar, if not this December, u'll receive d vodka around March. Siguro dalawahin ko na. one for ur last bday, one for d next? heheh
saka, i wanna try also to get drunk with you guys. we haven't done that yet. i dont even know what u guys r like when u r drunk (or if u ever get drunk), o hindi talaga coz di talaga umiinom (?).
WoohooooO!!!! You excite me dha, but that will be more fun kung dito ka rin, and we will get really drunk...my first drinking experience, was still the hard-hit, maybe this one will be the second. Try natin yung walang uwian sa morning, no hassles, what about OUT OF TOWN?!?! sa bora? hehehe excited na ako!
Thanks so much!!!! sana ikaw ang may dala, hindi padala lang :)
