A Guide To An Ethical Life

What are some common etiquette to follow?
Say you'd like to improve yourself, be the ideal citizen and member of society. Or simply, seek to become a person that most will like, well I'll give you a few tips:

                   1. Whenever you're having arguments with someone it's best to acknowledge his/her point of view. It is a sign of respect to them and that you are reminding them as well that you are listening to their side of the story.

                   2. You must always put others before you, don't cloud yourself with selfish interests but instead try helping others out.

                   3. When under pressure or stress, smile it off and don't release your anger on someone else. I understand that we can get frustrated sometimes but if you rant out to someone just because you're angry, it might affect your relationship with them. Try finding a different way for you to vent out your anger, like listening to your favorite song or watch a movie.

                   4. Try avoiding gossip. Gossip can be a little bit tempting sometimes, getting that juicy information is food for our judgemental thoughts, but it's not really a good thing. Gossiping about others has NEVER been a good thing.

                   5. We all have our walls. When having a conversation with someone, never push the boundaries of the person you're talking to, by means of invading their privacy and dictating their life. We both know that there are topics that we're not comfortable to talk about, like our insecurities. And that's okay, respect their privacy as you want them to respect yours.
If you're to ask me, following etiquette is easy! I do it at school all the time! There's nothing wrong with by being yourself, just remember to not go to the extremes by harming another for our interests. It can be a challenge, temptation comes when you are weak. But my dear, those are the times that we have to be strong and cling on to our resolve.
I believe that by being rational and just, I can live an ethical life. As I said from above, by putting others first before me, to see the smiles on their faces, that's what makes me happy. And as I continue on my life, as long as my intent is pure, and my way is good, my life can be as ethical as it can be.

Medical Exam at St. Luke's (April 19 - 21, 2016)

Medical Exam at St. Luke's (April 19 - 21, 2016) April 19, 2016 Yesterday I told my teachers that I won't be attending class  (April 19 and 20) because I'll be managing some important family papers here in Manila. We filed and applied for parole under the FWVP program of the United States wherein we'd be under parole for three years and we'll be able to stay there for the said time so that we could take care of our grandmother (whose husband, my grandfather is a war veteran). We took a bus going to Caloocan and arrived their ar 4 P.M. We rode an LRT and arrived at Hotel Sorriente (which was only one block away from St. Luke's) at 5 P.M. We shopped at Purgold downstairs for some groceries and food to eat during our stay there for the next two days. I then bought Chooks To Go for our dinner and some utensils as well. April 20, 2016 I woke up at 4 A.M. to get ready for our exam. I took a bath and changed my clothes, made sure I was looking...
GOOD MONTH For the month of April I plan on doing good deeds not because it is a requirement, but by doing so strengthens the relationships I have as well as improves my character. I'm excited for this month and I hope you all could do good deeds also. Deeds of the Day: 1. Helping Around the House - This is a pretty common thing for me to do when I've no school. I did the dishes today and fed our pet dogs. :D 2. Practiced Driving - I practiced driving today! Hahaha! Dad said only a few more and I'll be good on the road. We practiced at the cargo area near All Hand's Beach. I'm not sure if it's a good deed but if it helps me learn and improve my skills then I guess it is? 3. Decision & Determination - I decided to actively participate in this activity for the good of those around me. After all, helping people feels the best! Haha! :D How was your day? I'll be posting some images soon as well. Talk to you later then!
