Lessons
Watching a bunch of series and season finales are making me quite emotional right now. But good thing Friday5 does help me keep this blog alive. I know it's a Saturday here, but this is a pretty good set.
- What kind of out-of-school lessons did you take as a kid? Fortunately, I really think I had a great childhood. For one, I wasn't deprived of it. I was sort of spoiled back then, being the eldest. As a kid, I was really the prim and proper kind, without compromising my love for attention and performing. Go figure. I think one of those out-of-school lessons from my childhood that really remains would be to be grateful and humble for what you have and who you are.
- What valuable lesson did you learn this past week? Because I've been hanging out a lot with my best friends and my sisters during the week, I would say a deep sense of appreciation and content. They have shown me that they will always be there for me. Another lesson would be perhaps being honest with myself. I need to face my issues, problems and slowly deal with them.
- Who in your life really needs to be taught a lesson? I think everyone needs a sense of clarity every now and then. We go through our lives sometimes so blind - almost always looking for an escape. Whether we're basking in joy or depression, it's important to revel in the present and find a way to reconcile with whatever truth or reality we are in. If it's wonderful, we need to be more appreciative. And if it proves to be otherwise, then we can't live in denial. We need to make room for acceptance.
- What kinds of lessons would you love to have a private teacher for right now? I would really want to continue professional voice lessons or dabble into something creative like continue painting or digital illustrations. I always need something creative in me.
- What steps have you taken to lessen the impact of these rough economic times? I wish I could do more! Why do I have to enjoy shopping so much??? Saving electricity does count, right?
