Is there one thing that you truly just can't decide on?

Whether Coke is better than Pepsi, or whether you prefer to spend your vacation be by the beach or in the mountains?

In life there are just so many things that you can't decide on. You figure you'd want to decide based on your feelings for the moment. I feel a bit cold so the choice between hot chocolate and ice cream becomes obvious : have a cup of hot choco to warm you up on a cold day. Or, you've felt like eating fish for dinner at a restaurant, thus choice between red or white wine is apparent : white wine goes with fish.

Sometimes we are just so preoccupied with wanting to decide, but oftentimes the situation decides for you. You are hoping so. For life to just unfold in front of you. But then again are you willing to wait to be put to bedrest before saying I need a break from work? Or will you read the signs: sleeping on the job, wrinkles, prolonged daily headaches, to be able to know better before involuntarily being led to a decision.

Life is not as easy to decide on. There are hidden meanings, deeper translations, and wiser thoughts. There are complications of things such as those out of your control, unwelcome surprises, and annoying people. There is the limitation of work too. You can't just take off from work to spend the day at the beach. Consequences. You don't work you don't get paid. But then again, a long year's hardwork deserves a much needed long holiday to visit that city you've been daydreaming of since the beginning of the year.

To decide and to stick with it is such a hard thing to do. But to those who have claimed to abiding by their decision, I salute you. To people out there like me who are still in the struggle, well, good luck to us. The road is long and we are the only one who can decide which path to take. Life is about taking chances, and being given chances. Making a mistake in choosing your road does not stop in a dead-end. One can always turn back, or go forward to get back on track. Good luck to us.

alam mo, in life we always have choices
at dahil dyan people judge us based on the decisions we make
mali man yon, kelangan natin tanggapin
we live in a world based on perceptions
kahit anong desisyon natin, meron at meron hindi pabor don
we have to learn to roll with the punches, ika nga
