The Life: Juice


STANDARD
The past weeks were quite abominable for me. I was on the verge of breaking down. I was thinking heavily, i was asking countless questions of why. I can't write anything on this blog, i can't finish writing a song, my imagination despoils in substantial amount. Everything is blocked. Never once in my entire life felt like this.
This is different this is not my standard. This is something new, for now.

What is your standard?
People all around the world have their own sets of standards. From the way they dress, how they talk, how they socialize with others, on their food, on their booze and a lot more. What you usually prefer is a standard. What you usually choose is a standard. Standard can somehow be the typical. The norms. Trending.  Its conventional as i always say. Its everyday, quite nothing new, its just the way how you do and decipher things that makes it different but somehow still the same. Standard is evolving. It is in a constant motion. From the way the telephone rings from monotone to polytone to full mp3 format. From cordless to wireless. From a steam locomotive to a bullet rail. From film to digital. From resistive to capacitive. Standard is never affix to permanent. It has a timeline. Every little thing that relatively makes its way to the standard level hits a centriole. In some ways it becomes a gist. It never failed to go mainstream. It is a one hit wonder. So what is your standard or maybe, what is your standard now?

Our age reflects our standards.
You cannot act like a baby when you're in your 50's, well if you do, something is definitely wrong. You might be experiencing some adult behavioral mental mishaps, or maybe you want something new like you never felt so kid even though you're 50, or you started chewing and sucking your thumb on your senior years. Very odd. Its not so normal. Why? because it's not suitable for your age and its not on the standard. When you're in your 50's generation, you're supposed to be acting like a parent, a mother or a father to your kids. You're supposed to be acting a role model for the younger generation. Why? Because this is the one suitable for your age and this is the standard. 

Raising the questions.
These are few questions i ask. Why are they set as standards? Who told them to be the standard? They aren't written anywhere. There is no logic. I shouldn't be asking...

The Juice
If you're gonna think of all the things, all the details, all the twist, all the configurations, all the technicality, all the specifications, all the hows, all the who, all the why, all the fractions, all the components and the entire blah blah blah of life i promise you one thing, you will never ever be happy with your life.
Many people are oppressed because of the standards of the world. Like they have no other choice than what is on the market, "everybody's going to boracay, i should go to", "everybody is shopping online, i should try it", "everybody's buying their ipad, i should get one". Sometimes whats happening isn't you anymore. You are being manipulated by the standards that surrounds you. Have you ever reach the point of realization that you have your own life? 
Learning not just Surviving: you are not only surviving life, instead there should be wisdom earned, there should be dreams to fantasize, there should be colors to purify.  
Loving not just Living: We don't simply live, we gotta pour a lotta lovin' on these.
Caring not just Sharing: If you care enough, your sharing enough, so why am i saying this? There is a thin line between sharing because you "want to" and sharing because you "need to". I say, care enough because you "have to".  
Breathing not just Helping: We love to help others, kindness and generosity are presently admire to each of us. We're taking every single responsibilities, sometimes we even reach the point of irritation where we start complaining and giving up because of these responsibilities. Somehow, its not a healthy practice of self righteousness. Breath the life, make it lasts and show sincerity to others.

Standard life
What is a standard life? First off, your mother carries you in her womb for 9 months, gave birth to you, raised you and feed you, thought you your first word, thought you how to walk, put you up in school, graduated, enter college and got the degree, apply for a work, got married, raised your own children, get older, play with your grandsons and daughters, become a grandfather, died. 
This is like a manual for having a standard life, a good checklist before you enter humanism i guess.
           For me - i was raised by my parents, thought me my first word. thought me how to walk, went to school, got the diploma but didn't accomplish a degree. From this point i can say i am not living the standard way anymore, i missed the manual i forgot the checklist. I am not yet married hence i don't even have any "girlfriend". A relationship with me wasn't that quite good, yezzer, maybe its the reason i don't have a girlfriend right now??? Let me tell a story. I have a past relationship where things have to end without any clear answers. It came to the point where i have to stop loving a person who is very dearly to me, i have to stop caring, so crucial, a rejection was so sweet i didn't notice a knife was already stabbed. Why? i was asking this, why, simple, it was labeled WRONG. PERIOD. The punches i took without warning. In the end she has to say that we have to accept these things, she even told me that these are nothing compare to what she felt before. So i have no right to complain. I was completely in silence. There isn't any right word to describe how much it felt. I'm off for word, blocked and lost for a while. I was hurt & it was accompanied by sorry. I was harshly blaming myself. I realize that hurting people wasn't really that complicated and hard. One decision is enough. Like congratulation you just broke someones heart. anyway..
This is not a standard relationship, maybe not an ideal? Maybe it wasn't meant to be? wrong place at the wrong time? Furthermore, moving on, since there is no marriage yet, ill be growing old as part of the checklist and later soon die. I don't have these serious conventional way of life, not only me and that's for sure. I'm not the stereotype. You don't get to hear my song on a daily fm radio basis. I am not standard. 

(Maraming stir sa mundo.) trans. The world is full of activities, excitement, agitations, commotions, fuzzes and turmoils. There are so many pouring questions unanswered, others do find solution, others neglect them, some are still struggling, few lost their hopes, others question their faith, question themselves, question their family, question their wife, their husbands looking for some answer. You don't have to know all these answers in life. Seeking answer is a definite waste of time, instead why not enjoy your family, your loved ones, your wife, your husband, kids & your parents. They are essentially irreplaceable. They are perfectly tailor- fitted God given tax free labeled standard. Its true that the best things in life are free. As long as you know what you want in life, as long as you acknowledge all the people that surrounds you with love, as long as you don't hurt others, as long as you have strong faith, determination, courage & will, you wont be placing your bet on the standard table. You will be free from all of those agitations, worries and cumbersome.

So what is my basis for standard?
Set your life with your own standard.
Don't be fooled by advertising, marketing even with your boss.
Prioritize your craft. Improve your craft
Eat, Drink, Jump, Play, Pray, Sleep, Love, Sing,Work, Learn & Earn.
