Reminders to Self

- Tandaan: priority, priority, priority. Unahin ang dapat unahin. First things first. And stop being needlessly redundant.

- Importante yung message ng mga last-resort slogan nung high school. Time is gold. Huwag sayangin. Hindi nagagawang bling-bling na pwedeng ibenta ang oras.

-Find a way to motivate yourself again. You may not be a horrible student but dammit, you're trying. Galaw galaw rin, dre.

- Reward yourself accordingly. And no, typing a whole paragraph in a .doc file and then erasing it all DOES NOT count as progress.

-Doing something in a different mindset produces different results. Be on the proper mindset. 

-Mag-aral. Hindi lang ng lessons mo. Go beyond the lecture.

-Sleep early. You're still human. And by early, dapat early at night. Hindi yung 5 minutes na lang madaling-araw na.


-Get some actual material for a real blog post. October pa kasi yung huli mong post.


And while I'm at it, I'll make a list of...
Guitar covers (I want) to do. Para maalala ko lang.

ONE OK ROCK
-The Beginning

Motivational Speak

REMEMBER




"You are the one who sets your own boundaries."




"No one else can be the protagonist of your own story except yourself."




"Don't dwell on it too much if you fail by normal standards. Why? Is the normal standard the ONLY standard?"




"Failure is a motivation. Success is gratification."




"Children often follow someone as an example. Wouldn't it be great if it was you?"




"Think greatly, act humbly."




"If pessimism can affect your actions, there's no reason optimism can't do the same."




"The only thing you have to be pessimistic about is pessimism itself."



"When it comes to proving yourself, always go beyond what is expected. That is when you have truly proven yourself to them and to you."



"Be the person that would want the people to tell inspiring stories to their children about you."



"Never underestimate being different. When everybody else sees nothing, you may be the only one who can see everything."




"The regret of not taking the chance over-weighs the fear of taking it."



"YOLO: You Only Live Once. Then make sure the flashback of your life is something worth seeing not just by you, but also by everyone."

Quick posts: Top 10 EPIC songs

A quick post. Music-related again.

If I have to pick a genre to listen to, I'd go with rock/metal most of the time. And what really gets me into a song for the first time listening to it is the mood and the theme of the song. Normally, if you said to me to check some song out because I'll probably like it, it doesn't just happen like that. I don't always get hooked to the song instantly after listening to it. For me, it takes about a month or so (seriously) to sink in. Some songs are just plain awesome the first time hearing it. It really depends on the mood of the person at the time and the mood and theme of the song. Probably because of all the Dir En Grey I listen to, I've learned to appreciate the beauty of dark, weird and/or sorrowful themes. Not to mention, their um...attention-grabbing music videos. It's like you learn these things through music, you know? 

Although I play guitar, I'm somewhat of a lyrics enthusiast. Whether it's in English or not, I look into the lyrics. It's good to listen to songs that express things from a certain standpoint. It's like a look inside the protagonist's mind.

With that said, this is gonna be a top 10 list of songs. EPIC songs, mind you. Comes with the explanation of why they are epic. I've also limited the list to one song per band.
