Make it Happen

The Bitch Says:

I was watching TV this morning. And the ever popular Ms Kris Aquino came on with a Q card in her hand where she was reading off her next big punch line. Turns out, it wasn't such a bad line...

She says:

There 3 types of people in this world. One are those who get out there and make things happen. Two are those who just stand there and wait for things to happen. And three? those who ask "what happened?!"

There's truth to these phrases ... isn't there?

The Witch says:

Makes perfect sense. I've become one of each at one point I guess. With regards to job my career I'm the take charge kind of person. I try to make it happen, ora mismo! Sometimes I even think I'm rushing things. Now I'mt rying to slow down once again, I'm moving too fast and learning too little in the process. I'm not after short-term success after all. In my personal life I'm more the second type. I stand on one side and I wait it out. What's the point of rushing things or pushing for it. That just kills the romance. And when it comes to politics and the government I'm more the apathist that I'd like to accept. It's a sad thing really but some things are better ignored on a personal level than be psychotic about things much bigger than yourself and which you can't even control.

At the end of the day what's important is you're living your life the best way you know how. Whether you're taking charge, you're on the sidelines or plain oblivious.

The Lady Says:

Makes perfect sense?" or "...living your life the best way you know how."

Snippets(?) from the Witch that helped me look at the Bitch's entry and find words on what I feel about the subject. Three kinds of people, 3 ways on how to live your life best. But we all know there is no one way to live life. For every phase of our lives, there's a different way we lived it, whether we thought it the best way or not. It's possible that we thought then that it was the best but looking back we decide it wasn't or we think it was the worse way but decide that it wasn't. I say, looking back, it was the only way for us. Otherwise we would not have learned what we need to learn and we won't be us at all. We can regret the things in the past but we should never forget to learn from them.

Reviewing my life, I have been each of these 3 types of people. When I was in High School and College, I was playing between being out there and making things happen and just being there and waiting. I was young and inexperienced and that led me down into a lot of headaches. I could have done without it but it did buffer me for the future! You could say it made me thick-faced, well-shielded, prepared for what was to come (Parang giyera pupuntahan noh? It's Terminator: Rise of the MAchines). But then again, with youth and inexperience at hand, I'm thinking I was just into high-drama. It definitely was a bitter-sweet phase in my life.

Then after doing the College stint, I made one heave for making things happen, and I freed myself from dependence. I am now happily doing all 3 all at the same time when the situation calls for it and just doing the waiting and being oblivious sometimes. Amazing? Not really. But how do you do all three?! By wanting more than one thing at the same time. One you can work on and make it happen, another you've already worked on before or watched somebody else work on it for you (It may be even for themselves and you just want to share in the fruit of their labors. Hihi~) and you're just waiting for the result, and last would be something that went by so fast that it dazed you (but you're still interested in the outcome). But I think it's more relaxing when your just waiting and being oblivious. To hell with the fast lane. Can I just get back to it some other time?

Now, does that make perfect sense? Is that living your life the best way you know how? I don't know! All I know is that I can live with it. If you can't, well, I don't see how you can live my life for you to mind very much how I'm living it. Oh! Unless you don't have a life. In that case, get one!

To the Witch and the Bitch: Sorry, sweeties. I've been under the weather lately that I was only able to finish my share today. :S

The Witch says:

Yipee! Finally the Lady gets to finish this entry. What's next? Speaking of being under the weather, y'know I've been there this past few days. No worries though, nothing that a good night's sleep can't work on.
