We all have talents and gifts. They make us unique people. These talents and gifts have the power to change the world in ways they can only do. People, including ourselves, recognize our talents.
Our talents have to be used.
Even with talent, people are inclined to do, or like to do certain things. A lot of happy and supposedly successful individuals like what they are doing. A few have the talent to do what they love doing. Some "successful" people just get lucky in terms of where they end up; but fate I think is a better term for it; and most of them love what they do.
Again, even with talent, people are inclined to do certain things. Quite a few people may have been given all the means to accomplish something with their talents, but still they forego the opportunity and choose to do something else. Some end up with nothing in the end, while some who work hard go far, even without talent.
This is what's bothering me. How can they not match at times? Why can't we end up liking what we are gifted with all the time? In this way we can get farther right? I don't know. Why do we feel so heavy when as members of a particular society that showcases our talents, we are asked to do something, when we do not even like it? It really hurts when people shove your talents up your face when you don't even like what you're doing..
Or are we not just searching enough? Who knows? Maybe there is one thing we love that we are talented in. We just have to find it, and not wait for it to come to us. I don't know. What's happening??

pano ka magba blog niyan? nasa tv ka. XD
WOW. You just said every thing that I've been thinking about these past few days. (Sorry, random stranger commenting. Hehe. But really, this bothers me as well. =/)
Hey! Just bloghopped.. and i read your entries too.. masyadong malalim mga posts mo. haha =)
what's happening? you're thinking. and that is a good thing. you quoted Calvin Coolidge in one of your previous posts.. "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common that unsuccessful men of talent."
our talents do have to be used as they ARE gifts. what we love to do are not necessarily our inclinations based on our talents. though what is meant above is (sa tingin ko lang, a..)we cannot succeed via our talents alone, i think it is also appropriate to relate it to your post(Just Ask for Jack) as another meaning may be drawn from it. a person has certain dreams which are not, in any way, related to his talents as his goals are set as somewhat reactions to his environment. for example, an aspiring scientist/creative writer infuriated by the present political crisis in the country seeks to pursue law (a pre-law course for that matter as he cannot got straight to law school) in order to help in reforming the country. in pursuing what passion he is aflame with, he succeeds. his talent may even aid him in doing so.
provocative thought..
Very well said! Thats whats weird about this world.
wow! ang galing mo naman mag english you are so smart. keep up the good work

Talents are intrinisic in us, that is if you believe in a higher being. However there is still hope for the non believer, he or she may assume that his/her DNA sequence gave her an edge over others in a certain aspect.
How bout me? I think there really is no such thing as talent etc. All we do is specialize in a field which we think would be of most benefit to us.. i.e. to get money, fame etc...
;)
mikee hope you all the best!
hope you make it to the big 4.
you may noy know any single info about me,but i'm your loyal fan.
i'm very pleased that eventhough you're very good at math,you still keep your feet on the ground.you're a very intelligent man.
Godbless!

OMG! haha Post ako ng post si Mikee ka pala sa BB :)) good luck ;)
GO MIKEE!
GO MIKEE!
go kim rin!
hehe...
gudluck sa finals.
=)
ei Mikey, know you'd probably head off to reading this blog a few days after the final week, just want you to know that it's not the text money or the loads spent to vote for you that counts, it's the constant belief I espouse that of all the people inside, you've got the substance, humility and the true personality that stood out there.
It's the personal values. Early this morning if you recall, at around 1 am, Gerald started the topic on mast__bation... the girls (Kim most specifically) pitched in... it was weird when Gerald questioned he doesn't believe the girls don't do it, and almost proceeded to make the gesticulations as to how to mas__bate..
You don't need a showbiz girlfriend dude to make this world a better place the way you view it. We don't need to even gauge who among the housemates needed the money and stuff, who's rich and who's not. The point is, we voted for you because we believe YOU stand out--in all aspects, in all areas.
Goodluck and have a nice day! Voting starts! hope my votes will be enough at least to carry my best wishes through.
Ingats, keep the faith!
i just hope it will never be too late when we've finally found that... i'm 23 and i still don't know what the hell i'm on earth for!
so far..top 2 na kayo...i told you we'll do something bout this. :)
at this point, everyone did their best, i hope we carry the message through how "true" a person you are among them.
shine through!
i'm sorry but i have to do this. this is totally unrelated to your post.
congratulations on your win. you've truly shown the Filipino people the kind of stuff the Filipino youth are made of. all the four of you did. but let me tell you this - and my apologies if i offend you - you were the only one who gave me hope in the youth of today. yung nag-iisip, yung nag-pa-plano, hindi padalos-dalos, at hindi pinapayagang puso (emosyon) lang ang ginagamit sa pagdedesisyon. yung marunong maghintay, marunong kumilatis ng sitwasyon, at higit sa lahat, marunong pa ring makitungo sa kapwa tao sa kabila ng unos. the world needs more youth like you. saludo ako sa iyo. at dahil rin sa iyo, lalo ko pang ipinagmamalaki na hindi ako nagkamali sa pagpili sa ateneo para mag-aral. salamat at mayroon pang mga kabataang kagaya mo. God bless.

Well, we all have our talents to share. Kaya lang, unless we discover what these talents are, they will be unknown even to ourselves :p
hey congrats nanalo ka as 1st runner up sa PBB teen edition! you deserve it ;) update mo naman dito yung experience mo :)
Hey Mikee! I'm a fan from ADMU (college na ko *lol*). You have a Candymag Teentalk thread:

AAAAYYYYY!!! SI MIKEE!!! OMGOMGOMG AND TALINO MOOOO I LOVE YOU MIKEE LEE!!!!!!!! IKAW TALAGA ANG BIG WINNER SA PUSO KO! xoxo joselyn<3
hey yo mikee! Congratulations sa win mo sa PBB. Talagang pinagpray ko yung pagpanalo mo syempre eh medyo magkamukha tayo hehehe... at first hindi ako naniwala sa mga friends ko then when I saw you laugh. Yun! magkamukha nga about 70%
talents should be used pero sometimes we are ashamed of showing it. We may tell some friends but not everybody.
as a friend, kung may nakikita akong potential sa isang tao, I'll push him to go and show his talent.
i guess thats it. hindi ko muna ipagkakalat itong URL napulot ko lang a-hihihi baka kasi magalit ka :]

thanks! godbless!
oi mikee, i'm a big fan of yours and i don't know if you care (because it's done already) but i really do feel cheated for you in PBB. it started with the whole love triangle thing with you, kim, and gerald - how PBB made you look like the third wheel even though you're not really doing anything. it made some people perceive you as a loser or something. also, in the last 2 weeks of the show, about twice as much exposure was given to kim and gerald compared to you and clare. i lost my confidence in the show after seeing all these happen. the unfairness is truly evident even in the the commercials when one housemate is featured (so the public will be able to decide who should be the big winner). they identified kim and gerald with the ending phrase: '...yan si princess kim' and '...yan si prince gerald'. and you and clare simply with '... yan si mikee' and '...yan si clare'. PBB really wanted to advance kim and gerald you know. well, enough about that. despite all their efforts, you still won 2nd place. i am very proud of you - how you handled the challenges you faced inside the house. if you've noticed, you were usually in the "hot seat". but you stayed mature and calm about the situation. i bet, if the other housemates were in your shoes that time, they'll freak out. plus, i really liked how you were with kim. you're such a gentleman (i just wish kim would see that... but i realized, you deserve someone better man). for me, you are the big winner. stay the same and continue being a role model to the youth. i hope you'll go back to your studies though, instead of taking a career in showbusiness. you really proved something to us.
anyway, i really agree with your entry. sometimes, we don't have passion to do something related to our talent. and there's 2 things pressuring us to use it anyway: God who gave us the talent and wants us to use it before He takes it away from us and, secondly, the people who depend on us. but, i believe, we just have to do what our heart desires because, in the end, we'll realize that what we do won't mean anything unless we have the passion to do it. even if we're already succesful, we won't be contented because we don't like what we're doing. so, just follow your heart but, at the same time, use your mind in deciding what you want.
yun lang.

~ate jean~
kung may counter lang itong blog na ito malamang thousands na sya..
hey yo. bakit hindi ka pa naguupdate?
padaan lang mikee ha.
Hey, that was a great blog entry. but i specifically liked your entry about that old man you and your bro encountered with in a minor car mishap. I somehow believe those situations are pretty common and I could wholly relate to it. Hypocrites galore. Haha. Hope you update our blog soon.
Interesting sentiments. I rather like Banal na Aso. It's so true. The exact same thing happened to my father once.
Keep on writing. You're very profound, you know. Your entries are rather addicting.
Hey Mikee! well sobrang from the very start of the PBB Teen Edition, crush na kita. yii. anyways, i just wanna congratulate you for being part of the big 4 and of course, being th 2nd placer. well, sometimes, naiisip ko tlga to.. na masdeserving tlga si Mikee kase yan ung totoong model of the youth. if i am to describe you, you're smart, intelligent, brave, self-disciplined matured man. YOU are best described as a PERFECT good model of the youth. :) i love you, Mikee! whatever happens, we'll always be here for you. ok lang na nwala na si Kim sa picture. mas umokay nman buhay mo eh. it's a big loss for her. kung ako siya, Mikee ako. kase it's not about the looks after all. it's about the willingness of the person. sana marealize nia yun. i will admit to you, nging fan ako ng MIKIM.. pero when Gerald came on the picture.. i saw..(everyone saw) the real color of Kim. but anyway, ikaw lang nman tlga ang ngpakita ng totoong kulay sa loob ng bahay ni kuya. you deserve evrything. :)
MIRIAM STUDENTS ADORE MIKEE LEE! WE LOVE YOU! :) (WE ARE FROM THE YELLOW BATCH!) :)
mikee!!!!!:D:D:D....grabee!!ang bait mu tlga ...tpos mtalino pahh!! sna patuloi k lng maging humble...at sana malaman mu rin na andaming nagmamahal sau sa buong mundo!!!!!maka- mikim aku dati ksma ng bezpren ko..kaso wala eh...napunta xa ky gerald...nanjan p nmn c brenda eh!!hehehe....ang dami mong na-inspire na tao...talagang isa kang huwaran sa mga kabataang pinoy!!!take care and God blezz....
hmmm.... :)
if youre somewhat lost, trying to find what you are here for in this world, read the bible, or viktor frankl's man's search for meaning.
it's a worthwhile investment... hope this helps...
.... and please, dont go into something you don't like, such as *bleep. :)
Hmm. Non causa pro causa fallacy.
Talents are not the only measure of the individual's uniqueness.
Simply because there's no such existing concept that you would coin as "intelligent design".
Natural law gives quarter to none, haha.
Yes, I'm quite the logical bastard at 3 a.m.
