Take courage to know yourself

You’re young, so shut up and enjoy life

Make the most out of it while you’re still young. Yes you have to. I mean, you only have one life to live. Why waste? Why not do things that can make you smile and laugh. We all have the same way to go, the way of getting old. Isn’t it perfect when you have a lot of funny and happy times to remember? I believe every person must enjoy his life so that when he gets old, he got a lot of things to reminisce. So when you’re still young, enjoy. And keep this on your mind that you will never be younger than you are at this very moment.  So if you think you haven’t done enough, man it’s time to make things happen.

As I am still at my young age, I make sure that every single day of my life is worth it. Given the fact that we encounter problems, face troubles, pains and heartbreaks and some stuffs like that, I believe that there is still room to enjoy. Yeah you worry because it is your life, it is your responsibility, you have to fix this and that.  But, why worry too much? You don’t deserve it.  You can have it all when you learn to balance everything in your life. Some people especially those students who are studyholic, who worry too much on academics don’t have extra time to atleast unwind and provide their selves a time to enjoy. I know people who are like this, often called as “KJ”. Too many excuses. But I don’t care though. It’s not my fault if they’ll regret something in the future. Haha. I myself study hard but I make it to a point wherein I can go see my friends, mingle with them, have time to tell stories with them, party with them and make crazy moments with them. And I can say that because of those moments with my friends, I enjoy my life here on earth. Life would be boring without friends and crazy moments.

Have fun while you are still capable of doing so, live life as if there is no tomorrow; smile while you still have teeth and laugh as much as you can. Spend time with your friends, family, classmates, and old friends. Don’t regret a single thing and don’t dwell over the past. It’s time for you to catch up things you haven’t done before. There’s a reason behind everything. Give yourself a chance. Don’t waste a minute. You never know what will happen. Stop worrying too much. Better shut up and stop complaining that life is hard, instead, you must learn how to appreciate things on the positive side of it, then you’ll be happy. Do whatever you want, and say what you feel. Stand up on what you believe in, even if it means that you have to stand alone. Just live your life that some people don’t get the chance to. Take advantage of that. Our life is like a book, we don't have to jump off to the end just to see if it's worth it. Just enjoy life and fill those empty pages with beautiful memories. Feel alive. Feel blessed. Feel young. :))

good things take time :))

I easily fall inlove, that’s why I easily get hurt.  But now, i’m trying and holding myself not to, just for the mean time. It’s not that I'm afraid to try again, but i’m just afraid of getting hurt for the same reason. I will figure out first what are the things that made my past relationships fail, so that in the future, I can correct it and it will never happen again. There are times that I get envy to couples who are so sweet together and ask myself “why do I need to be alone”. Then i gave myself an answer “maybe this is not yet the right time to be with someone else”. Well honestly, I miss the feeling of being in love and being with someone else but when i feel how much it hurts, I'd rather miss it than to feel it again.

For now, i am single because i am saving myself for someone who deserves me at my best and loves me even more at my worst.  I know that he’s out there. I believe there’s gotta be something for my soul somewhere, in the right time. I believe that being single doesn’t mean you are unattractive, for me being single is a choice. I'm single, not because I don't pray for love. I'm single because I don't play around with love. Besides, being independent is not about being a loner,  it's just a chance that you give to your self to do the things on your own way. Remember: "you can't love someone else if you don't learn to love yourself"

For me, it’s about being strong, and having a faith that there is someone out there who is waiting for our love. While I am single, i’ll spend time with my family and friends and to those things that will make me happy. I believe someday, everything will fall into place. The guy i’ve been praying for will be mine, only God knows.  God is there. I'll be with the RIGHT one who's RIGHT for me. 

A little about her..

                        Who is Rhizza, anyway? 

Her real name is Rizza Estomago Licayan, a 20-year- old girl who loves life and lives life to the fullest. She is a student, scholar, leader, an achiever, and a survivor. She came from a family of 5 and is the eldest among the Tres Marias. 

Rhizza is always proud of being a cebuana and is not shy about where she came from. She spent 12 years in her life in the Queen City of the South and looking forward to spending the rest of her life in that place. But despite of where she came from and being a "probinsyana", she still can manage to at least shine with her talents and knowledge. Although, she has achieved a few and gone a bit far, she wants her feet to be kept on the ground because she believes that every blessing that comes on her way is God's gift to her. 

At her early age, she was taught by her parents on how to become independent and live life simply. She even experienced going to school walking for about 20 minutes, selling goods at the age of 8 and having 5 pesos on pocket as her "baon". Her parents want her to become a responsible and wise citizen, who can stand on her own and can achieve whatever she wants to achieve .And because of all those challenges and sacrifices that she went through in the darkest times of life, it developed her in becoming a strong individual, full of dreams, striving hard to reap the fruit of her hardships someday.

She admits she is not perfect 'coz nobody's perfect. She can be messy when she's with her friends, noisy, crazy, a bitch (yah,everyone is, sometimes). But behind those imperfections, she is a woman with a kind heart, a loving daughter, caring sister, and a true friend. She can laugh with you the whole day like crazy, share your secrets with her, cry on her shoulder, make silly jokes and will accompany you everywhere u want to go (when she's in the mood). And even if she fall off the ground many times, she is so much thankful to have not just good friends but great friends around her. They're just the best! They accept her real being without hesitations, no buts and ifs. You can best describe her when she is with her close friends, a lady with a strong personality, who can manage to make her friends laugh, who can draw a smile on your face even if she's not the brightest crayon inside your box. 

"She is Rhizza, not perfect, not even close to it, but she is a true friend you can always have. She may not be the brightest crayon inside your box, but if u get to know her well, she can draw a smile on your face"
