I was really having a hard time thinking of whether to share or not with you about this blog entry. I know in the end (after reading this blog), you will say that what I have wrote and posted is a nonsense. Well, only one song made me come up with my final decision. This is a song from the artist Parokya ni Edgar. The song I am referring to is entitled “Tatlong Araw”. Below is the lyric of the song and below the lyric is a video from youtube in which the only important thing is to listen to the song (never mind the video).

Chorus:
Tatlong araw lang pala
Ako naging maligaya
Hindi ko man lang napuna
Tatlong araw ko’y tapos na

Araw ng kalokohan aking kinagalakan
Hindi ko man lang nalaman na ako’y masusugatan
Hindi ako makapaniwala at ako’y natulala
Lumulubog lumalala ngunit bat biglang nawala

(repeat chorus)

Tatlong araw naging masaya isang taong lumuluha
Bakit mo kya nagawa bakit ka hindi naawa
Ngunit kung mapagbibigyan ang patalim ay hahawakan
Kahit na magmukhang timang basta magkabalikan

(repeat chorus)

Chorus 2:
Tatlong araw lang pala ako naging maligaya
Bakit hindi ginawang lima tatlong araw ko’y tapos na

Coda:
Tatlong araw(5x)

(in case the video doesn’t show up. I have provided a link –> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb4DvHS91jg)

Just read and listen to the lyrics of the song so that you will know the idea of what this song really implies.

Here’s the boring part.

I can really say to other people that I am a music-minded guy. I love to hear my favorite songs everyday. When I go “emotional”, I usually wanted to spend time just having sounds on my ears and not hearing the noise outside. I don’t know about you how you release your emotional stress but as for me, this is really helpful and I’ve been doing this for a long time.

Before I decided to file a resignation at Vanilla Networks, I have this plans to treat for myself. I’ve been working for how many years without a single penny save for myself. One of the things I planned is to buy myself an mp3 player that I could listen especially when I’ll be at the lowest point of my life. I have also told my close friends about these thougths and one of them told me to “set the plan aside” because there are still important things I need to do with the money I’ll be receiving soon in my new job that I’ll be working. On my thought, she was right. She was difinitely right. Why spend money with this one when there are still more important things to attend to. On the other hand, I can’t really help myself being excited that there will be great chances that I can somehow buy myself an mp3 player.

Well, the result? For sure, my friends suggestions were taken into considerations but my “want to buy it” prevailed. In fact, I can say that I deserved this thing that I bought. I know I can buy an mp3 player for less than 1,000 pesos but I chosed to buy an iPod Nano (3rd Generation). Well, it’s second hand but at least. I went to iStore and inquire their prices for this stuff and told me that it costs 7,000+ though Apple stopped it’s manufacturing on this iPod Nano version. “It’s worth it!”, I said to myself. Why? I bought this for just 4,500 pesos. Too excited that I even loaded the songs I like directly when I got home and caused my iPod Nano to hang-up. I didn’t know that I still need to install iTunes before connectimg it to my computer. Devastated I am but there’s nothing I could do but to wait until the battery will be drained out and charge it again.

Well, the connection of the song from Parokya ni Edgar is… everyday we are uncertain how many days or hours or minutes or seconds we still have to do the things we want. If we won’t work out on it, this may brought us into the brink of regretting those time that we have the chance to change those uncertain uncertainties. Good for me that before I realized I have done such wonderful things to myself. I bring my iPod everyday and hear the songs I like everyday. I bought this and not having any doubts or thinking about what might be more important things to do with the money I have spent for this iPod. This is much better than to come to a point where that money was gone and spent for useless things. Good for me that I have done that deed first before realizing it was a perfect decision. To your left is the image of my iPod I have right now.

This blog isn’t about boasting my iPod or about dragging you to believe me that I have made the right decision at that time. This is about how we should think about simple things and little things that come through our lives. Even how small or how less important it is. Others might just come our way and never realized it until now. This is not only about material things but this goes also to the people who we met or a small event that we have encountered or witnessed. Life is really full of uncertainties. Others may hold into prayers or destinies or whatever beliefs they have. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s what they think it is the best way for their lives and they are happy with it. It’s not everyday that we come across a happy life. Tomorrow might be an end to your sanity. But at least, you have done  things that made you smile yesterday. Grab every opportunity. Everything will just fall into pieces. We don’t have to worry.

Cheers!
