Moving On

             As usual, I always publish my weekly post in the last minute. Good thing that at the moment I saw the posts of my other classmates, I already thought of a topic!
             You see, I was texting with a classmate of my cousin last Friday night and we talked about Math. She complained how hard it is. "Makasuyaon ang math! Tig-papahanap sko ang "x" niya. Dae pa nag mo-move on!" her text read.
               Now, don't you just wish that moving on would be as fast as falling in love? Don't you wish that moving on would only take one blink of an eye? People nowadays say that moving on is the hardest thing to do. It's true. It's so hard that most people ignore, avoid, and act as if  that one person is invisible and they try to delete that one person forever from their hearts. Sabi daw, iputol daw lahat ng connections para maka-move on. I disagree. Maybe if you're trying to let go, that would work. Letting go means letting go. For an example, nakipag-break ka, you have let go. Binitiwan mo na lahat ng mga ala-ala. Hindi mo na tinupad ang mga pangako mo. Pinabayaan mo na siya. Pinaraya mo na ang taong mahalaga sayo sapagkat hindi ikaw ang mahal niya. That's letting go. Moving on is another story."Moving on doesn't mean you forget about things. It just means you have to accept what has happened and continue living." Mahirap rin tanggapin ang katotohanan. But I can't tell which one of them is the hardest. But I guess they're all equal. If you try to move on by trying to forget that one person, it won't work. Knowing that you have this person to forget about, knowing that you have someone that you think you must avoid and ignore, hindi ka talaga niyan makaka-move on. You're just seriously hurting yourself. Once, may nag-sorry sa akin. He told me he's sorry for everything he's done. By that, he meant ignoring my texts, pm's, deleting me from his friends list in fb and also blocking me. It's not his exact words but it went something like this: "Gusto ko lang talaga mag-sorry saimo sa gabos na ginibo ko. Habo ko na kaya parakulugon ang sadiri ko. :"(" See? He did everything he could just to delete me from his life. But he ended up hurting himself instead. Plus, it didn't work. He told me that I was and still am his crush.
               Okay. Enough with that. Let's move to Math. Math always asks help from us to look for his "x". Why would you look for your "x"? Simply because you miss him/her. He/she still means a lot to you. History is different from love. Ang history, di mo na pwedeng balikan kasi nga past na siya. Unless kung may time machine ka. Hehehe..! Pero, pag-nahanap mo na yung "x" na pinapahanap sayo ni Math, satisfied ka. And then you would look back at your solution and you might smile. In life, no matter how hard or painful it is, we sometimes look back on the past without it being our intention but then we would just give it a smile.Right?
                In love, sabi daw, there's no such thing as too late. Like in Math, it's never too late to learn.
                 
              
                Wew. Kung saan-saan nalang ako napapadpad... Anong meron saken??!!

The Aftermath

       Aftermath is always part of life. It's a part of math,too. It's not because it has the word "Math" in it.

        I'm just a 13-year-old girl and I could say that I've been on a very long journey and I finally arrived in a new chapter of my life. I had struggles,though. Multiplying the love I receive, dividing my sorrow, adding happiness in my life. All were done to me. I was given love, I had happiness and some eased my sorrow. But no one has subtracted my fear, yet. They may have divided my sorrow but my fear of everything still remains. Although I have tried to overcome it by taking a few risks, I was still afraid. I never felt strong. I acted strong but deep inside, I was all cuddled up,crying helplessly in a panic room.
       Once, I tried to get rid of my being scared. I did it but I ended up crying,though. It was irritating! Why on earth would I cry about such a little problem? And so I hated myself. The aftermaths were painful. I'm still recovering...and so far..so GREAT! And now, I have once again encountered another thing. I'm afraid it would all just end up the same. I'll end up crying. I don't want to shed tears anymore. What would be the scenario if we both tell the truth at the same time? What would become of us then?
       I experienced being ignored. I experienced being treated as if I'm invisible. I experienced being in the recycle bin of a certain person's life for 6 years. Though that person did not mean anything to me, I was hurt.
I don't want to feel pain anymore. But what can I do about it? Life is scripted.That's the reason why we have these so-called coincidences.God just gives us choices, he opens up a lot of doors and unfolds many roads. But, we all arrive at the same point where God would expect us to be.

       Like in Math, we are given lots of methods to solve for x. But, we shall all arrive at the same answer.

        Aftermath is an aspect of life that is easy yet stressful. It's easy because you finally know the result. It also may be stressful because you may not be happy with the ending. Like in math, if you think your answer is wrong, you'll be stressed out.

        But a not so smart creature once said, "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not yet the end." -Patrick Starfish


I could tell that my concept is jumbled and confusing but I hope you get the message I'm trying to say.

Math versus Life

As usual, whenever I start writing, my mind goes black. My mind always goes to deep thinking whenever I start to write. To make the mind-block go away, I just keep writing the conversation happening in my mind and then my ideas just flow. Here it goes..me talking to myself in my mind..

I went online and thought about my Math Blog. I saw my brother online so I talked to him. I asked him what certain aspect of life could I relate to Math. He asked me, "Wait, ano ang math para sa'yo? is it hard? is it easy? is it fun? is it stressful? or what? haha." And I told him that I find it easy yet stressful. And so he asked me, "Ano bang aspect sa buhay mo ang easy yet stressful?" And that just gave me an idea! Hahaha! And that helped me. =)) But I don't know what certain aspect in life do I find easy yet stressful.

Then I thought that LIFE is easy yet stressful. Right? But could I relate life to Math? Wait. That's the whole point of this blog. To relate math with LIFE. How could I relate life to Math? At kung sakali I find the words, anong picture ang pweding i-post? Haay..

Okay. Life versus Math. That could be the title of this post. Good. Ideas are flowing.. =D

 Life versus Math. Life has ups and downs. Math has integers. Positive and negative. If you add a positive with a positive, you get positive. If you subtract a negative and a positive, the sum would be classified depending on which addend has a greater absolute value. Just like in life, if you're a person who thinks positively and then you are making the best out of everything, you'll have a great life. Maybe not perfect but still positive, right? Think positvive + make the best out of everything = great life. The same goes with multiplying integers. And if you DON'T think positive and yet you still try to make the best out of everything, it wouldn't be worth it. What's the use of making the best out of life if you're not even determined to achive positive things. You should always think positive and look at the brighter side of the situation. Think negative plus making the best out of life = not-so-sincere life. Meaning, you'll get a NEGATIVE.

Life versus Math. Life has predicaments. Math has equations. Predicaments in life should never be left unsolved. Math equations should not be ignored. If you leave a predicament in your life unsolved, you're mind will be put in deep thinking. You will feel uneasy knowing you have one thing in your life that is still not in place. If you ignore a Math equation., you'll regret it one day. How will you learn if you just simply ignore a Math equation just because it's too hard for you? How will you survive your years of schooling? If you ignore a predicament in your life just because it's too painful for you to take, how will you learn about life? How in the world will you survive life? In learning Math, many of us will experience difficulties. Just like in our lives. There's not a single human-being who has lived without a difficulty in their life. And every one should solve theirs. If you ignore a predicament and an equation, you'll regret it.

Life versus Math. I guess they're equal. Math is life. Life is an equation. Life is a very long equation. The longest equation there is. You'll be sure to experience problems, serious and the not-so-serious. Let's say the x is your identity. Your purpose in life. As we grow up, we become more conscious about who we are. We grow curios about our purpose in life. God has plans for everyone. And we would wonder, "What does God have in mind for me?" Just keep going. Just live life. And you'll find x.

Math is life. People just don't take the time to sit down and think more about life. This photo blog made me realize that fact. =)

Math in Apology

                                    

        I just sat in front of the monitor, looked at the pictures taken yesterday. I saw a stolen shot of myself using the laptop and my hands are on the keyboard and I was smiling. I remembered I was chatting with someone then. I decided to post the stolen shot. I already thought of words for the caption but it was still jumbled in my mind. Then the word "apologize" and "sorry" popped in mind. I don't know why in the world those two words came to me. But I guess it's because I remembered last Saturday wherein someone told me that he's sorry. I thought more about those two words and I tried to relate it to Math. Here's what my mind says about APOLOGIZING and MATH.
    
      How do we apologize to someone we care about? It's not easy, am I right? Especially when you know that you were wrong. Now back to the question: How do we apologize to someone? I think people apologize the same way. They would say they're sorry, admit their wrong, point out their mistakes, tell the person how he/she means to them. And even though people say these things in an apology, sometimes it would be accepted and sometimes it won't. Why won't the apology sometimes be accepted? It's just like in Math. You know WHAT you're going to do.But sometimes, you don't know HOW to do it. One simple error could always lead to a wrong answer. And then of course, you're answer won't be accepted. In apologizing, you usually know WHAT to do. Apologize then admit you're wrong. But on HOW you would say it, diyan ka maaaring magkamali. Your mouth might spill some words that could be offensive or words that would hurt a person. One word could be painful, you know? At yan ang dahilan kung bakit ang ibang apology ay di natatanggap ng isang tao.

                   Thousands of men guarded Ina on her way to Cathedral. They carried Ina and they shouted, "Viva La Virgen." The Traslacion was a success. After the arrival of our beloved Virgin Mary at the Cathedral, people bowed their heads and gave praise to her. A lot of people in one place. It's not wide enough but they were able to be in place formally. Even though it was very crowded and hot, they sacrificed.
