Hey I just met you

"We are the sum of all people we have ever met." -Dirk Wittenborn

Yup, won't stop with all the quotes. On my almost 2-hour travel time on my way home, I realized that my earphones were not with me, the movie on the bus was *not my type*, and I couldn't sleep so I just thought about random people and random things about them.

I realized that every person we meet in our life has something to teach us. Some people are going to be in your life to make you feel happy, special, hurt, and some other roller coaster of emotions. Whether it's a good thing or not, they have taught you something and that will always be a part of who you are. During my junior year, we had this prof whom the whole class really loved dearly, except for the loads of readings he assigns per meeting. And when I say loads, I mean LOADS. Some readings just for one meeting are two inches thick. Anyway, what did this prof teach us? Aside from political stuff, he also taught us discipline in so many ways possible. I also got the privilege to work under one of ABS-CBN's big bosses, and he taught me how to get a perfect result in a work-give your best. Wherever you go, go with all your heart. I have this friend who's always in a panic mode and it taught me one thing: I just need to be chill, like what I really am. Because if everybody else is on panic mode, what will happen to the world? 

I don't need to go over every person I met who taught me something to justify the quote above. Ask yourself what your most terror prof taught you. Or your mean neighbor, your number one critic, a special person in your life-who can't stay in your life, anybody. You might be surprised with how much you have learned from these people, and also ask yourself what have you been teaching other people? What experience are you giving them?

I once read in a book, that there are only two kinds of people in this word: a teacher and a student. Most of us are both. So ask yourself, have you been a good teacher/student to others lately?

Hmm recently, my ITM friends taught me to.. have fun while working I guess? Earlier tonight, we shared this very special *moment* about balloons, face paint and banderitas that made our tummies ache but that's okay. Wink wink! Hello Nicole, Glenda & Franc! :-) What's with the balloons? Stay tuned and find out next week!
