When Reality Bites

Kin Hubbard : the world gets better every day -- then worse again in the evening.

i first heard/read this quotation when i was in high school. third year, to be exact. it was striking, yes. not the usual quotations that we encounter. but it struck me most when i realized what it really meant.

literally, it is true. sa umaga, you can smile or laugh all you want because you're with friends or loved ones but at the end of the day, when you're alone in your room, you'll then realize that oo, tumawa ka nga at halos mahulog pa sa upuan dahil sa sobrang galak, but am i really as in truly happy?

2 this quotation can be related to aging. with the analogy of day is to youth and evening is to old age. habang bata, you can do all things but as we age, doon nalelessen ang mga bagay na pwede nating gawin. if you haven't lived you life properly, darating yung point na masasabi mo na sana ganito, sana ganyan.

3 i can also relate this sa love. when love is young, parang ang saya saya lang. kilig dito, kilig dun. but as time goes by, hindi na ganun yung kilig na mararamdaman mo tulad nung bago palang. nagkakasanayan na. wala ng spark.

how can we prevent these? i guess we can't. it's the reality. it happens. pero hindi naman pwede na lagi nalang tayong ganun. pwede din naman na "the world gets better in every day -- then best in the evening" o kaya "the world gets better every day -- then worse again in the evening -- but then again, tomorrow is another day!" 

reality check, pwedeng sobrang down tayo ngayon at parang ang tanging gusto nating gawin ay umiyak at mag mukmok pero reality check ulit, bawal bumangon sa pagkadapa?! when you're down, there is no other way but to go up. when you're now at the top, there will come a point that you will again, go down.

life is a continuous cycle. parang lesson lang namin yan kanina sa economics eh. kung may recession, may recovery. kung may down, may up. kung may sadness, may happyness. at ang gasgas nang there's a rainbow always after the rain.

at the end of this all, outlook mo parin sa buhay ang magdadala sayo. ikaw din, kung gusto mo jan ka lang sa baba, edi jan ka lang. sige ka, kung di ka tatayo baka maapakan ka ng iba. :)
