Vee Philosophy: Opportunities, Doors and Windows

It’s actually crazy how a silent night can make you think of silly things that actually make sense. Like just last night, after doing my laundry while watching the latest episodes of The Walking Dead and Once Upon a Time (totally great shows), I had this realizations about opportunities.

I remember this saying that says, “When a door closes, a window opens.” Sounds familiar, right? Yeah, I also heard it from the movies. And of course, we get that this generally means that when you missed an opportunity then there’ll be another one but not that bigger than the one you missed.

I just thought, why should you choose window as a metaphor for this? Because if we think about it, this saying would actually mean that if we cannot enter the door, then we should break in through an open window. And that is not right because it would be trespassing already.

Maybe when an opportunity passed, it just simply means that it wasn’t for you and you just have to work hard until another one opens and not hold on to any little part of that opportunity that has passed like clinging to an open window. We just have to move on. After all, I have proved to myself that there is a perfect time for everything. If that door opens again and it lets you in, then it’s good but if not? You don’t have to roam around the house in search for an open window to enter. A window is not a door. Besides, there are lots of doors in the neighborhood you can knock.

I think that saying should be changed. It’s just literally wrong no matter how meaningful it may seem. Maybe the right saying should be…

“When a door closes, it’s either you knock again or move to the next door"

What Makes a Guy Complicated

All these times, many would say things like "Girls. They're so complicated" , "They're hard to comprehend". Weeeeehhhhh... di nga...

Ni minsan ba, never pumasok sa isip niyo na, "Hello... Boys? They're so complicated too!" . And come to think of it, girls do have reasons why they're unpredictable and hard to comprehend. Girls in nature are moody plus the factor that girls have PMS periods that even them can't help but hate themselves when mood swings starts. How about boys? They blame everything to girls to the point that they can't see themselves doing the same thing and even worst things that makes them complicated.

Vee Philosophy: The Patience Theory

I'm going to cut my breaktime for now. Instead, I'm posting one of the philosophies I have come up with. The Patience Theory. I just came up with this theory one time when I was thinking about the argument I had with one of my classmate with regards with boys having multiple girlfriends during our literature class. (We were discussing some poem about courtship!!! )

My classmate told me that boys do things like that because of a previous heartbreak. It could be that a guy had a trauma from a previous relationship which is wwhy his one way of trying to heal himself is through collecting numerous girlfriends. Yes, it's unfair but let's face it, with the liberality of today's generation, girls are doing the same as well. 

Vee Philosophy: Mistakes and Sins

There's a fine line between a sin and a mistake. Unfortunately, many take mistakes as a sin and vice versa but actually, they are different and a person has to be rational enough to see the fine line in between.

It is a sin when a person knows that it's wrong, UNHOLY, and obviously bad but still continues to do so just to please oneself. THAT IS THE SIN.

On the other hand, mistake is an act done without the person knowing the consequences of his actions. Mistakes are NOT DONE INTENTIONALLY. They just happen without the person knowing that his decisions or his actions are actually wrong.  They happen but see, you get to learn from these mistakes. You just have to look at the bright side.

WHY DO MISTAKES OFTEN MISTOOK AS A SIN?

This is because most people are blinded by what their physical eyes see. They don't dive and see beneath the surface. They easily judge. They often speak with regards to the negative side and don't let themselves enlightened by the bright side of mistakes. I am not saying that mistakes are good but obviously, they are not that bad. It's just how a person sees it.

Break Time: The Four Honest People

I have decided that from now on, I'm going to post a Taglish post ( I mean Tagalog-English) every after three posts in this blog. Why? It's simply because I just miss writing Filipino words in my blog like my first posts. One even is making it on top of my popular posts and it's consistent on the list of popular posts. I don't know but maybe Kuya Kim Atienza is really a popular searched topic on the web especially for Pinoys.

I'm going to call all Taglish posts Break Time and that means I'm having a break from all the English talks here. I get tired sometimes and my brain just go blank sometimes. :) So for my first topic for breaktime, I'm going to talk about The Four Honest People.
