masaya ako....

i have just finished reading my friend's blog
he wrote about his experiences when he want back to the province last sembreak
after reading the emo post i realized many things...

i'm thankful that my parents did not give me more than what i needed
i'm thankful because my parents taught me how to save
they taught me to minimize buying what i want and taught me to always buy what i need
they taught me how to control myself
they taught me the importance of saving
they taught me to make sacrifices now and benefit from it in the future

i'm thankful because i don't crave that much for material things
i'm thankful because i don't get angry when:
1) i don't have money
2) my parents don't give me extra money
3) when i don't have new things
4) when my parents can't give me what i want

even if....
i know that i don't have all the latest gadgets
i don't have cable TV at home
i have never had a brand new cellphone
i don't own a laptop or ad i-pod or mp3 player
i know that at the moment, i don't have the money to do some things
i can't buy all the books at NBS
i can't eat everything that i see on TV
i can'y buy the things feature on the magazine
i can't go to places far from Luzon
i can't visit other countries
i know that i can't do everything that i want to do because of financial limitations....
i am still happy

ok
tama na ang english
tama na ang mga kalabuan sa buhay
ulitin natin para ma-emphasize ang punto....

masaya lang ako sa takbo ng buhay ko
kahit na maraming kulang, hindi ako nagrereklamo
kahit na may mga oras na gusto kong magkaroon ng i-pod, laptop, bagong cellphone
kahit na minsan lang ako makabili ng bagong damit, sapatos, sandals etc.
hindi naman ako nakukulong sa mga materyal na bagay
kahit wala sa akin yun, nabubuhay ako
hindi ako nagagalit sa mga magulang ko kahit wala ako nun

masaya ako kasi maayos akong pinalaki ng mga magulang ko
sinanay nila ako sa simpleng buhay
nagbago man ang mundong iniikutan ko, hindi naman ako gaanong naimpluwensiyahan
kailangan kong sumabay sa agos pero hindi naman ako dapat magpatangay

sana laging ganito
sana laging may nagpapakita sa akin kung gaano ako kapalad
kung gaano kaganda ang buhay ko
minsan kasi binubulag ako ng mga pangyayari
hindi ko napahahalagahan kung ano ang meron sa kasalukuyan...
