Start Of Something New! 💖 Just four words, nineteen letters, but juxtaposed with priceless emotions and infinite fantasies coming through. I was just nine or ten when I first heard this beautiful song playing within my all-time favorite film of all. Yes, Start of Something New is a song, the very first song actually, in the phenomenal Disney movie High School Musical. Watching this chick flick series, thus, listening to this track, for almost half of my life already, this wonderfully-made rhythmic poem has totally grown in me too. Just as how the HSM trilogy taught the best life lessons to me, the lyrics, the melody, the mood of this introductory audio served as the soundtrack of my existence then 💖💖 I remember my queen mother saying that owning a pure heart and developing a bright mind matter the most. The pretty face? It is just a bonus. To be honest, I did not understand what she was saying as I was still a kid back then. But, when I viewed this outstanding motion picture, I then realized what she meant by that statement. And since then, I looked up to the ever-glowing Gabriella Montez. At first, I was just hooked on the HSM plot. However, as I rewatch the movies every Sunday on Channel 47 around the circa 2008-ish and on, I was getting inspired more and more and more by the female protagonist. Ideal as she may be, but I super duper love every little thing about her. And this is why I set Gab as my forever role model. I know I could never be her because she is the bestest girl in the whole wide fiction and non-fiction world. However! I really desire to be beautiful, kind, and smart too. From fourth grade, I prayed, and I am still praying for fourteen years and more that hopefully, I could become a girl who has the beauty, the brains, and the heart. I got such thoughts not only because my Mama said so or because Gabriella was the most liked personality before. I know in myself, deep down my heart and soul, that these three adjectives define who I am and who I am supposed to be, so, I gotta be those. I have been trying to fulfill these lovely goals, but I tell you, they are not that easy to achieve. In fairness to the self for embracing the Gabriella Montez thingz into my lifestyle as the days, weeks, months, and years went by, plus that are yet to come. It might have taken some time, but at least, the seeds planted have been blossoming still. When I saw that Gabby's charms are working on me already, as if we were becoming one, absorbing her amazing beauty-and-brains-with-a-heart character into me, I dug a little more deeper. I do not know why I did that too. But from there, I see myself living to the very beginning. Like I know, something has and will change. Same as how Gabriella's story progressed when she sang and danced to the Start of Something New, my life too, transformed and has reconstructed when I decided the Start Of Something New to be my lifetime vision! Yes, yes, yes, that is right! I created a vision for myself and I named it Start Of Something New!~ High School Musical is the first movie that has touched my overall being. Imagine, I was just ten, but the film really pierced through me and has given a great influence on my life. Wazzup, Gabriela Monez persona! Plus, as a human who loves firsts, I tend to fall to the Start of Something New. It is special, not just because it is the intro track of my most loved flick, but due to the connection I got with it. The words in the song represent my inner feelings and secret thoughts. Thus, my amazement to the world, to life. Moreover, the title is an adage itself. Start of Something New is the message already. How extensive the impact, right! So now, indeed, Start of Something New is not just a song for me. Start Of Something New, from the name in its own, is my start. It gives me such Happy New Year, Happy Birthday, just Happy Me feels! At the same time, Start Of Something New is a mix of my past lessons whilst envisioning the dreams, goals, aspirations that I am making happen in the present now. Like, it gives me hope, makes me remember why I began in the first place, reminds me that I should just keep on going and trying and walking, something like that. So, the Start Of Something New? Oh, my Start Of Something New! Start Of Something New has become a way of my life. And I love it! I am grateful. Combining all the possible factors since the day I was born up to the decisions I made for my own, here I go, this is why I have become the woman I am now. From my core foundation to the You-niverse's plans, including the family upbringing, natural abilities, intrinsic motivations, even external determinants, and environment circle, I consider all of these as big elements that take part in my life. But you know, really, it is the Start Of Something New that completed the puzzle of my individuality. This vision, little do I know, is the missing piece I have been waiting for. From the moment I held this thang, taking it in wholly into me, I have been figuring out my true self one day at a time. As in! 💖 Been open saying that I have been trying to change since I was a little girl. I wanted to look pretty, so I got interested in fashion, styling, and beauty. I wanted to be the clever one, so I studied hard and made sure I would always land in the star section. I wanted to be good, so I treat every person around me nicely. Of course, I am thankful for loving clothes, bags, shoes, and all things kikay. Taps for the self for doing her all to stand out at every school level. Good job for choosing the light side. So, me, trying to be Gabriella Montez? Yes, it worked! I have been following my goals since then. This simple inspiration, plus my support system, and of course, my hard work, disciplined actions, never-give-up attitude has definitely helped in making a better, to even the best me. The results have shown. While yes, I am happy about me achieving my goals. I am proud of myself for making the dream. However, because of this, I knew that I am more. Contented with the Ela that I am. That is for sure! Still hoping to continue what I have started. Wishing for life that I could be beautiful inside and out as what I always manifest. It's just that, I do not want to limit myself for I know deep here, I am also artsy, talented, funny, strong, and so on. Since I reached the goals, onto the next! Besides, there are still lots of areas I could improve. Thus, cultivate. That is right. I am keeping who I had been. But at the same time? I wanna continue evolving, wanna go growing, gotta try thriving. Before, all I want was me changing for the better. But thanks to that one amazing epipha-night when I realized I am meant for excellence. Since then, I have told myself I should reach the best version of myself by fulfilling my highest potential and living life to its fullest with the people I love. And there, there! From there, I formed this list of what makes me the most authentic me. Plus, ways on how I would turn to my greatest self. And voila! The birth of the Start Of Something New vision! Cutie because just in time when I was turning twenty, I officially set this vision, promise, plan, or whatever this is. It just began with the mantra: I should be, do, give the best in everything and each moment as much as possible. For I know, having such mindset, with movement done ofc, I could be my realest x bestest self. And aAahHhhhhh! The rest is history!~ Having to start this lifetime vision on my last semester-ish of college days, it was as if I was in a movie. Everything, from academics to family to boyfriend to friends and more, were doing so, so, sooooo superb! I can consider it as my golden days. Like the climax of my life. For realz. But then, every happiness must come to an end. And it happened when I stepped into the realer world. There, I saw that what happens to me is not solely because of my actions. That external factors also define my reality. That I cannot control the life at my hands at a hundred percent because many indicators are affecting me too. Real life has hurt me and it can be seen here throughout my blog. But no worries! Great thing, I was holding on to my Start Of Something New vision even before life fell apart. At least, I was made firm with myself already. I knew who I was and I could continue to be who I truly am. And until now, I am here, still breathing, fighting, living. I must say, Start Of Something New is the best thing that happened to my selfhood. This is my mindset. So, it also became my movement. This vision has been so empowering that even when I get bad to worst days, i-d-g-a-f. For I know, I have this magical thing within my soul. Plus, I know myself, my strengths, weaknesses, my truths, lies, my dreams, my all. Learning from the past experiences whilst dreaming for a happier and better future, I got to form this Start Of Something New vision. Journeying to my first-rate being, I gotta fight through the old self versus the present self in order to become the true person I am meant to be. While I really was working on this lassie even before this captivating idea, one has to take a few extra strides to see the much breathtaking sceneries at the top. So then, from one hopeful thought to another, I took action albeit how baby the steps were. And in just like that? The wishful thinking has turned into life! I took the oblivion, the madness, the pain. And because of those, I learned a lot! I have grown! I see changes! 💖 Approximately fifteen years when I was awakened of the person I ought to become. About ten years already when I became determined to pace my most be-you-tiful self. Almost five years ago when I challenged the golden girl to push her best limits in her everyday life as well. Indeed, this young lady has been expanding for a period of time now. Yay! Hihi. To be honest, I had not noticed that such amazing transformations already took place. Just now. Wow! And you know, right now, I still feel like I am just getting started. Grateful to that January 1, 2021 that had been a very wonderful day filled with new beginnings, overflowing love, genuine happiness, balanced priorities, et.al, I made an updated self-pact. As my family and I gathered this NY Eve, eating, laughing, bonding, I suddenly noticed my heart jumping. And there, I observed my lips smiling ear-to-ear again. All-natural! Just because! And so as the fam counted down to another good year, I closed my eyes and sincerely prayed. Because I felt it. I know in my galaxy, the vision has been glowing even before the clock stroke zero o'clock! And can you believe, it has been forty-five days since twenty-twenty-one was welcomed. I am proud to say, I have been doing my morning and night routines religiously. I see myself committed to spending me-ditation time every Sunday. Also dedicated to expressing the self with creative activities like blogging, video editing, and the like. Been taking care of myself physically, mentally, emotionally, and it feels so good! So I guess, I need to credit the Universe for the unexpected Start Of Something New that happened this New Year's Day 2021. I have envisioned manifesting for life beginning that time. Thankful for such a splendid start, I can feel the blossoming garden in my psyche once more! That is right! From the simple valuing of quality sleep to managing diet, exercising, and more, things then fell to a domino effect. Such a small thing, but grand effects in time! Because of the Start Of Something New vision, plus the Start Of Something New Day, I was able to formulate such routinary tasks. Thus, developed mindfulness in all that I do, so I could make my every day better. And what is nice here, Start Of Something New vision is not just for myself. This vision plan connects to my loved ones too!~ I would not want to say such finished words as there are so many more days to spend. But in fairness, so far, so good the previous ones. God knows I hate jinxes, but hopefully, hopefully, hopefullyyyyy, with fingers crossed, this is gonna be my year! I have been claiming 2021 as if I already got it! Combining the law of attraction and the law of action, of course! Despite the ongoing global health crisis, travel restrictions and limitations from here and there, and all those formidable risks around the thin air that killjoys so many lives and dreams for literally and figuratively? I am still manifesting! For I know, this is not yet my best self, not yet my best life. As I always say, there are still many things I wanna do and improve on. Let's get it, new Master's degree, dream job, passion collabs, and more! Not sure if I can get them this year, but for some reason, I can feel that the chance to life transformation is just right around the corner. Like, just waiting for us to meet halfway, something like that. And so! This is me, deeply and sincerely and humbly praying with all my heart, mind, and soul that this could be it -- the year where I am truly gonna do my Start Of Something New vision (and even adding a Breaking Free mission) for every day, right here, right now of my life and beyond! For the self, for the fam, for the love! I have told my life changes, life progresses, life transformations, or whatever this growing evolution is called. From how I was inspired to change to actually changing for the better and even to my best self yet. What a journey, right! I know that I will never be perfect, but having this Start Of Something New vision with me, I would for sure march forward, continue moving, carry on beating the records I set on my own like I usually do. Because really though! Start Of Something New is my lifetime vision with a Breaking Free mission. Meaning, I would see every morning, every day, every moment of right here and right now as a gift from the Universe. And since I am forever grateful, I would do my best to be happy, to be beautiful inside and out, to be the person I am supposed to be. This Start Of Something New is the cycle of me keeping going, planting seeds, blooming, trying again, never giving up! 💖
Love is my start, middle, and end that it has become my name, my virtue, my everything. Having been loved by the most powerful You-niverse, the most caring family, the most supportive boyfriend, and the most thoughtful friends, I shine the brightest. I may just be a typical sweetheart, but because of this glorious four-letter word that has always been with me, nurtured by the greatest support system, I had become a golden girl! Super thankful to the heavens for the birthright gifts, acquired talents, extraordinary characteristics I have been blessed with. Even the setbacks, the lessons, everything! These became my motivation to work hard, work smart. And this is why I am here like this now. Unstoppable. For the power of love combined with life lessons transpired as my turning points. Due to this, yahooooo! My for-life vision and eternal mission sprouted! And I am never been this fulfilled ever! Like ever! That is correct. My Start Of Something New vision is created because of love. I learned to love myself as I made a promise with her that I should always aim for my greatest shot every moment of the now. And because of this self-love, I learned to treat my imperfect but bea-me-tiful self nicely. Thus, made myself move more productively, mindfully, proactively. As I achieve my tasks, simple or grand they may be, result in true joys. And having such effects on me? I could share them to my loved ones too! Because I see Start Of Something New as a staircase that leads me to my best self. As I risk a step and move on to another pace, there is something that I gain, there is something that I take. The leap may look small if focused on where I am going. But every time I look back, I always appreciate myself for all the things I have done. And so, I gotta keep on concentrating on my dreams, on my plans, my aspirations that I want to achieve through the present moment I am living on. I would keep the inspiration from the people around me, that is for a hundred percent sure. But the motivation to keep on achieving the sun, moon, and the stars? It should come from me myself. Because that fact is? All these I want to see and happen start in me. It is me who needs to keep going and make things happen. I gotta help myself in order to grow. Insert hashtags regain, rebuilt, and reform! Ha! So yup! I chose to change because I love myself. I chose to be better because I love myself enough that I know I deserve more. I chose to do my best in everything because I love myself, my family, my friends, the world. By the simplest chance that I can make a change, I too might inspire another person. And that person could do the same to better changes as mine. And there, as you can see, that is the sense of this vision. Start Of Something New pays forward and goes around. It is limitless. I am.~ Writing this very loooooooooong blog post, I have come to know the self more. Congratulations to me because I can finally say I already let go. Thus, let God! All the pain, all the regrets, all the doubts. Even the happiness, the dreams, the great unknown. All for You already! Woohoo too for I know better of who I really am now! Been loving my whole self for a while now. Like, I accept her everything already! Bitter past, achievements, failures, weirdness, craziness, all of it. And excellent job for that, Jessica Mikaela! I know this cutie patootie has been trying her bestest to mix the old and the new to form the highest self. So? Props to that! And while I know I have looked for changes all my life, that I know I would always aim to progress and take the next step at all times, that I know I wanna thrive because I believe this awesome soul in me can do more and do greatly, I also know such goals would take some time. But at least! At least, I have now discovered that the missing piece I have been searching for? It is all on me. It lies within me. It is just here in my heart, my mind, my soul. Thanks to this, I know that I am enough just being me. That it is not bad to be just me. You know, the ordinary but authentic me. I would love to be a gamechanger. Super duper! Henlo, she a dreamer and a doer at the same time! And duh, the Start Of Something New vision and everything in between it! But I get it. I get it. I get it. I swear, I get it. Believe me, I get it. Haha! Just as how I do not know how to end this post, I know Start Of Something New would come a long way too. So I guess, I would just raise my glass. Here, here, here! Here is to the Start Of Something New that is made with so much love from the old, with the present, and for the future self. Here is to the Start Of Something New, Ela's og mindset filled with life purposes and pure intentions. Here is to Start Of Something New, the approved vision to life! For JMDCM's best of the best of the best of all worlds, I am holding onto all these words -- cheers! 💖💖💖💖💖
