A Dose Of iRonnie

September 18, 2007 · Print This Article

There’s no such thing as a grown-up…
we move on, we move out,
we move away from our families and form our own…
But the basic insecurities,the basic fears
and all those old wounds just grow up with us…
We get bigger, we get taller, we get older…
But, for the most part, we’re still a bunch of kids,
running around the playground,
trying desperately to fit in…

I see a bit of truth in Meredith Grey’s statement above, for I myself is experiencing something similar. I may have matured in thinking and principles through the years, yet I can still see traces of weaknesses, insecurities, and fears which have started way back. I am not excusing myself, nor am I planning to live up with it. I do not want to outgrow it either, what I want is to overcome.

Song Title: Sometimes He Comes In The Clouds
Artist: Steven Curtis Chapman
Album: My Utmost For His Highest (Various Artists)
Original Release Date: August 8, 1995

    REBECCA,

    nakakatawa how people expect things from you kasi you have “grown up”. pero ngayon that i have, nararamdaman ako im still the same person i was ten years ago. the person with the same fears, same insecurities. i guess we will never really completely mature. there will always be a child in us.

    glad you liked the songs. i loved this song since the first time i heard the album like 10 years ago.

    naalala ko yang epidose na yan … kaya nga siguro malakas ang grey’s anatomy dahil nakakarelate ang madlang pipol dyan :) e kumusta ka naman?

  4. iRonnie on September 18th, 2007 12:56 pm

    haha! sa totoo lang di ko napapanood tong grey’s anatomy. someone just texted it to me. akalain mong yang habang yan ay nagkasya sa text e no?! hahaha!

    musta? hmm.. not so good on a special day. but we’ll get by, with a smile… :D
    maging maganda nawa ang iyong araw.

    Happy Birthday, kapatid! * hugs Ronnie tight*

    For me it is rather important to cherish, even nurture the child in us since it fears, laughs, cry, feel pain, gets insecure but most of all, it is our honest part. Think of what Jesus said about the children! And that my friend, makes that child important in our lives.

    Though you may still see the traces of what you have mentioned above, just continue moving forward and aim for what’s good for you. Stay in tune with God’s plan in your life.

    Happy 13th Birthday! ;)

    thanks te! yah i guess you’re right. i even read a book that we should keep the man and the child in us in harmony. i just have to learn when the man should step up.

    congrats! sabi ng blog stats ko ikaw ang actual 1000th comment ng blog ko. ahehe.

    If you think about it, nothing really has changed. It’s basically still the same whether we’re young or old.

    Never lose the kid in you. I read it’s your birthday? Happy Birthday!

    hi. just came through via Knoizki’s blog. Nice to have found your blog.

  10. K on September 18th, 2007 2:54 pm

    Reading it and listening at the same time = sadness.

    Ronnie, mas maganda siguro if I found it myself (bago lang po), kaso others said na rin, so Happy Bday.

  11. iRonnie on September 18th, 2007 3:21 pm

    MELAI,

    medyo malungkot lang because of some matters i had to go through noong mga nagdaang araw. hopefully maging maayos na ang lahat.

    salamat sa pagbati. :D

  13. iRonnie on September 18th, 2007 3:31 pm

    hi K!

    of all the days to be melancholic, why on one’s birthday pa no? hahaha!

    i am just a bit disappointed at the moment. pero i know things will eventually fall in to their proper places. of course, i have to make it happen. it may be hard, but the man in me have to step up.

    salamat sa pagbati. :D

  22. almelyn on September 18th, 2007 9:22 pm

    God gave a gift to the world when you were born; a person who loves and cares, who sees a person’s need and fills it, who encourages and lifts people up, who spends energy on others rather than himself, who touches each life he enters & makes a difference in the world. May the love you have shown to others return to you multiplied. Happy Birthday!

  23. iRonnie on September 18th, 2007 9:51 pm

    ALMELYN,

    thanks! i hope you had a memorable birthday. belated… ^_^

  24. Gigi on September 18th, 2007 11:55 pm

    Yep, the playground just gets bigger as we grow. Manonood na nga ako ng Grey’s Anatomy :-)

  25. Gigi on September 18th, 2007 11:57 pm

    Whoa! Pumasok na yung comment ko! Yehey!!! I’ve been trying to comment since I don’t know when pero ayaw pumasok. Must be some bug in my browser.

  27. eloise on September 19th, 2007 1:29 am

    this sooo true. I believe I am mature in some aspects..but now that my dad died and my mom is working abroad…I miss my parents…i feel like a child again.

    an orphan

  28. zerovoltage on September 19th, 2007 3:21 am

    dude! belated happy birthday! :D
    and yeah … there’s no such thing as a grown up. i believe that as well, even old people can be immature.

  29. iRonnie on September 19th, 2007 10:43 am

    GIGI,

    the playground just gets bigger and so as the obstacles. the only difference is that we lost the joy in playing and are being weighed down by the obstacles. our fault i assume. let’s enjoy life! success and failures all together!

    have a great day gigi…

  30. iRonnie on September 19th, 2007 10:46 am

    DOM,

    thanks papa dom for the well wishes. nagpa trim na ako ng buhok kaya di na masyadong mahaba.

    as a person grows hindi na pang sarili nya ang mga wishes nya for his birthday. i only pray that my family be safe. :D
    thanks papa dom for the favor i asked from you.

  31. iRonnie on September 19th, 2007 10:48 am

    ELOISE,

    things are definitely not the same na no? but we have to cope up kahit nalulungkot yung child in us.

    have a great day eloise.

  32. iRonnie on September 19th, 2007 10:50 am

    ZERO,

    thanks bro! we just have to learn when to make the man in us step up to the situation. have a great day!

  33. leah on September 26th, 2007 9:37 pm

    its absolutely right. natamaan ako dun ah.=)

    Have a nice day!

  34. iRonnie on September 27th, 2007 9:47 am

    LEAH,

    tinamaan ka ba? i hope di ka nasaktan? hehehe. well, i guess with all the comments i received here, the statement might actually be true.

    keep the joyful kid in us alive! go with being child-like, enough of being childish. ;)
    have a great day! feel free to visit back.
