why are we growing so fast?
why does it have to be at this pace?
why do we have to learn from experience?
for once i would like to apply an actual knowledge into action than just learning from my mistakes.

kind of temperament
I was with Cath on our way to Cabanatuan and she asked me what kind of temperament I have... And so the clueless me said... I have a hot temper.

Apparently, that's not what she was talking about.
She explained that there are 4 kinds of temperament and I read more about it in Wiki:
Sanguine
The sanguine temperament is fundamentally impulsive and pleasure-seeking; sanguine people are sociable and charismatic. They tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be boisterous. They are usually quite creative and often daydream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean sensitive, compassionate and romantic. Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when they pursue a new hobby, they lose interest as soon as it ceases to be engaging or fun. They are very much people persons. They are talkative and not shy. Sanguines generally have an almost shameless nature, certain that what they are doing is right. They have no lack of confidence. Sanguine people are warm-hearted, pleasant, lively and optimistic.
Choleric
The choleric temperament is fundamentally ambitious and leader-like. They have a lot of aggression, energy, and/or passion, and try to instill it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were choleric. They like to be in charge of everything. However, cholerics also tend to be either highly disorganized or highly organized. They do not have in-between setups, only one extreme to another. As well as being leader-like and assertive, cholerics also fall into deep and sudden depression. Essentially, they are very much prone to mood swings.
Melancholic
The melancholic temperament is fundamentally introverted and thoughtful. Melancholic people often were perceived as very (or overly) pondering and considerate, getting rather worried when they could not be on time for events. Melancholics can be highly creative in activities such as poetry and art - and can become preoccupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. Often they are perfectionists. They are self-reliant and independent; one negative part of being a melancholic is that they can get so involved in what they are doing they forget to think of others.
Phlegmatic
The phlegmatic temperament is fundamentally relaxed and quiet, ranging from warmly attentive to lazily sluggish. Phlegmatics tend to be content with themselves and are kind. They are accepting and affectionate. They may be receptive and shy and often prefer stability to uncertainty and change. They are consistent, relaxed, calm, rational, curious, and observant, qualities that make them good administrators. They can also be passive-aggressive.
Anyway, based on what I found out... I think I'm both Sanguine and Melancholic which is polar opposites... Which explains why I am psycho... And which also makes sense coz I'm a Gemini.

life nowadays
nowadays i feel that i have good people i can rely on to be there with me when times are tough...
we're all fighting loads of battles but there's something affirming about the people i encounter everyday. it doesn't make me immune to panic or stress... but it just makes the load somewhat more bearable. i can't say easy because it's still very hard.
a good insight i learned today is changing your mindset to what situation is given to you. i'm a very easily flustered person... so this is hard for me. however, i know i should work on myself to be more calm and level-headed just so i can troubleshoot in a more lucid manner.
i won't let worry consume me. i have good people to stand by me and guide me and i have a God that's constantly trying to refine me by teaching me lessons.

i also appreciate spending time with family.. watching the kids, having a beer with my brother and my sister in law... it seems like it just makes me realize the important things in life and prevents me from focusing on the fleeting, superficial aspects of it.

A Prayer of Surrender
Father, I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will. Whatever you may do, I thank you: I am ready for all, I accept all. Let only your will be done in me, and in all Your creatures - I wish no more than this, O Lord. Into your hands I commend my soul; I offer it to you with all the love of my heart, for I love you Lord, and so need to give myself, to surrender myself into your hands, without reserve, and with boundless confidence, For you are my Father. Amen.
Charles de Foucauld(1858-1916)
