Too late… to realize what things one may have done until only you see how other have reacted to it. It may become a dilemma in the long run, but at some point one has to rectify it.
Too late… to feel sorry of the steps one has made just to make things easy or appease people, presumingly things will be a lot better. Sometimes, we thought it right to do or say things but, on the contrary, it made situations worse, especially if those involved are people we can always depend on or we can rely in the long run.
Too late… to be able to restore things back when one should have made amends instantly as the issues are still “hot off the grill.” But you may not lose hope for each day that you wake up to brings you another chance to change things for the normal, if not the better.
Too late… to say “I apologize for small things I’ve said or done,” since we never see these small things we thought of “small” may turn out to be big things in disguise. Now, toppling or going over it may not be as easy as it looks.
Too late… yes, I guess it’s too late to move backward and wish one never really made those things…
But then again, well maybe I guess, it won’t be too late to restore things back… but as to how long, that is something one will just try to be patient with and live with…
Anways, let me think… for I’m about to trek that road again…
Kapag mali, lagi nating sinasabi…Sana..sana..sana.
Kapag tama, ganun pa rin..sana sana sana.
Kasama sa buhay ‘yan, don nga tayo natututo, pero kapag paulit-ulit at walang pag-unlad o pagtatama sa ginagawa, nababawasan ang saysay ng buhay, maging panahon.
Too late? Hindi..base ako ngayon

oo base ka nga JKul! siguro wala kang ginagawa sa trabaho mo… hehehe
minsan talaga di na natin alam kung tama o mali ang nagagawa natin para matuwid lang ang kamalian natin. sa pag-iingat tuloy nauuwi ang lahat para maging play safe lang. pero agree ako s ‘yo (for once) na nababawasan ang saysay ng buhay natin kung walang nangyayari sa mga bagay-bagay, kahit naisip mo tama ang sa tingin mo ang ginagawa mo.

it’s not yet too late kasi kapag mali, pwedeng bumawi…pero dapat, lagi ding aalalahanin na hindi na yun dapat pang ulitin…para hindi parang sirang plaka, paulit ulit at nakakasawa…di ba? there’s such a thing as being prudent…knowing just when to say and do things, and vice versa, because eventually, doing the opposite would hurt most especially the people you hold dearest to your heart. that’s what we should avoid.

i know… that’s the reason why sometimes it’s hard to do the write things when one think that it’s still not the right move or decision to make kasi it ends up being the same mistake again over and over. but always, trying one’s best to be better is the one in mind in all actions that are to be done. ikanga, work in progress all the time.

salamat len. alam ko kakayanin pa naman basta ba suportado ka sa pagtutuwid mo at pagbangon, kahit gano man kahirap o madapa-dapa ulit. basta nagsisikap na maging matuwid ulit. yun lang yun. at natutututo sa bawat pag-sasaayos ng pagkakabaluktot na gawain.

naniniwala ako na sa buhay, too late lang pag patay na ang taong pinatutungkulan o pinaguukulan mo ng anumang saloobin na nais mong ipahayag. di man tanggapin, di man mabago mga bagay bagay pagkatapos ng iyong hakbangin, basta alam mong sa sarili mo sinubukan mo at ginawa mo ang iyong parte, makakatulog ka na nyan sa gabi. naniniwala ako sa mga sayang na pagkakataon pero hanggat buhay ka, di ako naniniwala sa “huli na”.
ciempre, ako pa! eh sumunod kay salbe, kondesa ako ng pagiging late!

ahahah in my book di kayo late kahit ilang araw pa kayo di nakadapo dito.
at agree ako d’yan sa sinabi mo, kuhra! minsan kasi mahirap makita yung effort na nagbabago ka dahil minsan misconstrued pa rin na wala. pero okay lang naman basta sa puso’t isipan, at kahit sa sarili mong gawa at pagkilos, sinisikap na talagang magbago ka. sana lang marealize lang nila na lahat ay araw-araw na nagsusumikap na magbago para sa ikabubuti ng buhay-buhay.
teka kondesa, asan si reyna salbe?!? tagal nang di nakakadalaw dito…

I guess it always depends on how you look at things. I mean, we can say that we can always make up for the things that we did. But then again, I don’t really know what you are talking about exactly, so I guess I’d just say.. uhm.. I don’t know what to say.
Daddy! Andyan lang ang pamili mo. Keber yan!

nabasa ko na ito kahapon kuya bong
medyo affected lang ako sa post mo kaya hindi ako nakapag koment
pramis!
para sa akin walng late late lalo na kung alam natin kung papaano mag make-up kung anong late man yan at natuto tayo.
sa classroom at work lang ang may late sa totoong buhay may mga bagay na parang late lang dahil kalimitan decision-base ang mga ito.
basta affected ako kayo yun lang muna
base!

Minsan talag we have think twice or thrice pa before you made a certain action may mga tao kaseng ang bukambibig eh “The damage has been done”. Pero depende pa rin sa tao kase ako as long na sincere ka sa pagsosorry madali ako makalimot eh. Walang too late sa akin kase lahat naman tayo nagkakamali ang mahalaga naituwid mo di ba?
I wish hindi ako too late sa pagdalaw sa blog mo
[Reply]
Well, like they say, nasa huli ang pagsisisi.
It may be too late to try to undo things, but never too late to try to make things better.
Or so I hope.

like everyone else, hope is always there for one to change his/her ways and live a pretty good life. what’s done is past and can’t be undone. so i guess moving forward and walking the better side of things can help mend one’s ways. but of course, dapat supported ng sinuman, even the people whom we got affected. they can hold the key whether life for you can be better or not. basta kelangan optimistic pa rin dapat…

We always fee the feeling that we are too late to act or to correct the mistakes we committed. Nevertheless, even if we are late, I hope nandun pa rin ang will of not committing the shortcomings we made. Saka habang me bagong bukas, meron at meron pa ring chance to correct our mistakes!
I’m glad i am not too late reading this one… Nice one kuya! keep blogging!

yup agree ako with that. hope lang talaga na for those people whom we affect, they would never stop giving us second chances to become a better person by correcting our ways and addressing the shortcomings we’ve done to them.
thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts! and yep, no one’s ever late to comment on this post. see you ulit on my next post.

I’m holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground. I’m hearin what you say but I just can’t make a sound. You tell me that you need me. Then you go and cut me down, but wait.. You tell me that you’re sorry. Didn’t think I’d turn around, and say…
It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
=)
walang huli sa sincere na pagsisi at pwedeng bumawi mas doble mas higit mas masaya.

naks naman! talagang ineksakto sa kanta. yeah it fits nga. sometimes you tend to feel that way especially when you tried to do all efforts to make things right and still people wouldn’t try to see it or make din an effort to notice it… no matter how sincere your amends are being done. but i still believe din kaya pa rin bumawi sa kahit anong pagkakataon basta makabawi ng mabuti at maayos.
salamat sa pagdalaw. teka di pa ata kita na-aadd.

Walang late lalo na sa pagbabago sa mabuti, yung realization lang ng pagkakamali minsan ang mabagal.

hi tatay jem! oo nga. minsan ganyan ako pero nakakahabol naman. minsan din ang mabagal yung realization na tama na pala yung nagagawa mo, napapagkamalan pa ring mali o wala pa ring pagbabago. haaayyy… talagang hirap lang to cope up ‘pag ganon.
kumusta po d’yan?

I have to agree with you that there are some things that could be “too late”…kaya nga maraming nagwi-wish na sana may rewind button ang buhay. But knowing that there is no rewinding, we should be careful about the roads we choose to traverse. Especially if one has already gone through it and know all too well that it was never a good idea.
None of our acts our random. And none of us can say we’ve never made mistakes in life (with the exception of a Ms. Venus Raj, perhaps…). And while there is no Apple Z or Ctrl Z in life, we have the capacity to learn from these experiences. There is much wisdom to be gained in foolishness, after all. Ngunit, subalit, datapwat…it would be better if wisdom were gained from a deeper perspective in life, instead of those when-the-shit-hits-the-fan moments.
