THE ACCOUNTING DREAM

ROUND 1.

2010-12-06T07:51:00.001-08:00

Hindi naman sya boxing. Andun lang ring ng bell na maririnig mo tuwing umaga at breaks.

ROUND 1. Una pa lamang pero madugo na. Buti na lang tinatamaan pa naman ng swerte, swerte na napasa ko lahat ng 4 n naunang quizzes.

Sana sa pagpapatuloy nito'y patuloy pa ring maging maganda ang scores ko. At Sana'y hindi ako pati mga classmate maknockout sa ROUND na to.

A Vacation? Not so!

2009-03-21T14:13:00.000-07:00

finals are over. yes, finally over.
yes, the sem is over but vacation?
not so.
i still have many things to do. a tribute to attend and help be organized.
a graduation to see (i'm still 2 years far from my own).
an accountancy 2nd qualifying exam to prepare for.
summer classes to enroll.

huh. it seems that i will never experience to true essence of this summer vacation.
i need to erase such notion. huhu!!

i will moving to 3rd year next year.
somehow, i'm happy.
but the fear of failing is just an arms length.
i really hope to pass the qualifying exam
and aim to get grades not lower than 84 in my majors.

i need to survive this feat.
really need to.
my future depends in it.

May God bless and help me.
I need to dream, believe and survive!..

It's been a while...

2009-01-30T12:10:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I came to log-in here at multiply...
it's been a while since I posted something here...
It's been a while since I came to visit my friends' sites...
It's been a while since I wrote here my day-to-day experiences...

It seems like I have been busy all the time...
from the midterm exams we have had last week...
wherein so far I got good results except for our oration in ORAL COMM...
One friend of mine told me that i was just that very bitter about the result...
I should have been happy for compared to my classmates i got a better grade...
Enough with that... as my Philosophy would say 'move on'..
We can move on but can't forget.. past will always be a part, a memory of the present, the here-and-now and an assured presence in the future...
THAT's PAGPAPAKAYAON... being able to live a meaningful life...

Also, I have been pested out by the research we are doing, aside from the fact that it is group work and I am the only one working on it, my teacher have already rejected it THREE times just leaving comments on the first pages without going through with the pages...
It seems that we don't get want she want us to do...
I should have to ready myself with my first INCOMPLETE grade in this subject...
because if we can't produce a "scholarly' research, as she kept on telling us, we won't be able to take the finals...such a crap...haay..

College life is really AWFUL... makes you have wrinkles and pimples on your soft face.. grrh..
It's getting tougher and tougher as days pass by...
It makes me ask myself 'Do I really have to study?"
In this world where getting a degree is not a guarantee that you will land a good job?
In this world where workers become products themselves that should also be marketed to be employed? haay...
Capitalism and money are such a crap...( i can now be tagged as leftist!;)
but we don't have the power to change the world...
as even Obama, the most powerful person in the world, don't have...

Such a world!

a bad start and end...

2008-11-30T21:52:00.000-08:00

Nov. 30 - I ended the month not being able to go home for our town fiesta because we had our first monthly recollection. Maybe fate just don't want me to. It's already a month since my last home visit. Haay. Seems like I don't miss home. The Saturday night 'til Sunday noon we had a silent recollection. It was fruitful. We had a great sharing with other dormers of the university. It was time for us to take a deep breath and look back to our lives - how was it. Love. It was the theme. God loved us first. WE should love our neighbors as we love ourselves. But I realized that I don't love God because i don't love my neighbors. I have foes and hate them. Anyone who says he loves God but does not love his neighbors is a great LIAR!

Dec. 1 - I woke up late. I haven't attended mass. My first absence for the month. Haay. It was a day where i had nothing to do that's productive. Just spend my whole morning washing my clothes. And slept for the rest of the day. I did not meet my classmates for us to make a parol for the lantern. HOPE WE'LL WIN so that we'll be EXEMPTED for the midterms. But it seems remote. HUh. Start of the Chirstmas month and a matter of 24 days before The Day. But. I did not even notice it.

It was really a bad and boring end. A not-so-good start!.

Prelims is on Wednesday and i haven't flip a single note! Hell of me. I guess this semester will be horrible for me...

Reproductive Health Bill - views and issues

2008-11-16T19:36:00.000-08:00

The Bill is authored by Edcel Lagman. One of the biases about it is that it is legalizing abortion. If you will read the bill wholly, you won't see any provisions about it being pro-abortion. In fact, it reiterates that abortion is against the law.

We had this discussion last night and it turned out that 10 out of 12 provisions or main issues in the bill were good like promotion of breastfeeding, maternal care, prevention of STDs and infertility, etc. The only 2 mainstream issues where we had this separate views is that of the RIGHT TO INFORMATION AND ACCESS OF NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL CONTRACETIVE METHODS. and that of EDUCATION OF THE YOUTH ABOUT SEX.

The Church is saying that using contraceptive especially the artificial ones is immoral because it just "demonizes" the very purpose of the sexual act which is procreation and mutual self-giving between the married couples. ut one of us said that natural and artificial methods has the SAME PURPOSE that is AVOIDING PREGNANCY so basically both desecrate or violate the purpose of that act. So the question is, what the difference the two of them? Also, the bill is not foregoing the natural methods. It just offers an alternative if the natural ont work so use the artificial.

Another is about educating the youth from grade 5 to high school. The contention is it will just lead to the curiosity of the youth about it and so explore! But what will we choose AWARENESS or IGNORANCE?

The bill has many involved issues that you cannot say absolutely YES or NO.

sometimes...

2008-11-08T11:55:00.000-08:00

Sometimes, it's better to cut all the ties with a person that had brought more bad things than good ones. Though the relationship will just be a waste yet when it is ended it will bring you such a great peace, peace that you had barely experienced because of that person.

It's hateful when someone you thought cares will just but rebut and find even the smallest mistake in every word you are uttering. It is really hard to be with a person who thinks like a perfect being, someone who wants the world to operate the way he wanted to.

Obama! Obama! Yes, We Can!

2008-11-07T16:58:00.000-08:00

After months of grueling debates, questioning of credentials, policies and programs, Barack Obama emerged to the 44th and first black president of the USA, the greatest nation on Earth, as John McCain, his rival said in his conceding speech.

Obama, the junior senator from Illinois defeated McCain in a landslide victory, winning key battleground states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and turning traditional red (Republican) states like Colorado, New Mexico, Indiana, North Carolina into blue (Democratic).

After winning the presidential election, Obama will face great challenges that will test his ability to lead and bring back to prosperity the presently downed US. Awaiting him are the problems of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, US recession, unemployment and instability.

A what Obama has said, "Yes, we can" and he will and he should...

Obama is hoped to change the image of America to a less arrogant one as brought by the Bush administration... Chance should not permit Obama to be in line with Lincoln, JFK, King Jr. and other great changemaker who were assasinated for there are rumors that there are plot to kill him. (Wag naman sana!)

Go Obama!

back to school, to dorm and to normal!

2008-11-03T10:08:00.000-08:00

it was an almost two-week vacation that isn't really a vacation. a semestral break. It was a diversion from my normal daily routine. wake up early. go to mass. attend class. study period. conex. and chitchats.

It was only in these days i was able to wake up so late, watch tv. and to be away from the dorm. It was only in these days i was able to have time with my high school friends, chat, jam and enoy with them.

Tomorrow, it's 2nd sem. back to school. back to acads, books and papers. back to dorm. back to study period, conex and mass. and back to normal. waking up so early. staying up to late! ths will be my daily routine til march!...haay.. :))

Finals is finally over! here comes F-nyt!

2008-10-18T21:55:00.000-07:00

Just a while ago, i had finished the most final of my final exams. It was easier than what i had expected. :))

Also, my Financial Accounting exam is bearable... Seems like our teacher was moved when we gave him some "tribute" is his birthday and said in one of his other class that "he may" lower the number of items in our midterms so for us to have a higher equivalent. (sir! tama yn!.. hehe)

After the brain-wracking finals, here comes "F-nyt" the organizers, the Student Recruitment Office (USRO) say it means FINALS NIGHT! but others mean otherwise, fun nyt and f**king nyt.. (ganyan tlga mga ateneans!..hehehe) They say it's time to enjoy after losing energy coz days of "haggardness"...

Meron daw sayawan, sabi nga " dean's lister na disco loco" pa.. But it seems like the said activity is boring... (manonood na lang ako sa taas ng dorm namin...hehehe)

Tomorrow, it's the start of the Gabay Week na 3 days lng..(that's a 3-day week) This is for all the scholars of the university... haay.. go blue team! and gud luck sa mga dorm-mates ko na sasali sa mr and ms gabay!.. whahaha.. busy-busyhan n nman kmi niyan...

time for a short rest! Am i ready for a greater challenge that awaits?

2008-10-18T02:09:00.000-07:00

this day was a grueling day for me and tommorow is the most grueling and nosebleeding day of all! I have two exams.. and both are majors!

I had an exam in CMAM201 (that's basic accounting system using spreadsheet).. It was such a sisiw... hehe :))

Late in the afternoon. i had a mock job interview for our Business Communicatiion. Sad to say, I only got 90 just because I haven't wore a necktie. ( haller?.. does it mean na pag wala necktie di n xa formal?..whatever sir!) and because di daw modulated and voice ko... it was such a tragedy.. nagkandabulol-bulol aq dun.. it was just fine for i was not really able to practice, prepare myself for the interview. (nabasura ko pa ung paper na pinagkunan ng mga questions..) Anyways, I'm still expecting a B+ in that subject...

The gruesomeness that i had experienced today is just fraction of what will i experience tommorow!..

I should. I should. I must. I must. I can!

Matapos lang ang exams ko! yehey! kasayahan na! :))

finals! seems like it shall make me bleed!

2008-10-15T00:32:00.000-07:00

our finals week has already started...

one exam was already down!..:)) somehow it is quite easy and i'm expecting an A or B+ in that subject that i had expecting from the start to be demanding and difficult because of the teacher i had chosen but i had managed to keep with his standards! and that's something i'm proud of! hehe

tomorrow, 2 exams, saturday, 1 exam..that core subjects and a major...

and the 2 most nosebleeding exams are on Sunday! Financial Accounting 1 and Investment Management!

both of them are departmental exams...haay gud luck!

:))

Fine Dining Activity!

2008-10-04T03:13:00.000-07:00

We just had our Fine Dining Activity for our Business & Executive Etiquette at Lolo's Bar.

It summed up our learnings from the subject.

As business people, we are trained on how to as one from power dressing to formal dining manners,,,

The event turned out good with just some nuisance. Merong two customers na napaka-ingay na masyadong na kaming nabubulabog while having the talk of the speaker.. Akala namin the venue is exclusive.. ung sa baba lng pala...

Anyhow, tumigil naman sila...

Sa pagkain, ok lng naman.. masyado lng kaming nautom kc late na nagsimula and

by course pa ung pagserve..(ganun nman tlga eh..)

For me, the event was worth it.

I'm in full black business attire.. ( pwede na sana iburol.. hehe)

Astig pa ung kanta ng mga on-stage performers ng Bar...

Sa wakas, tapos na din xa...Final exam n lng at adios na sa PDVM101...

Crush!!!

2008-10-03T17:38:00.000-07:00

My favorite song as of the moment is 'Crush' by David Archuleta.

I really love the song, its message, its tune and arrangement and most especially the singer.

I prefer David A. than David Cook.

l love his song genre.

Here the lyrics goes...

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush

'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?
Is there more, is there more?

See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last
Last forever, forever

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
This crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

It has been a long while...

2008-10-02T22:57:00.000-07:00

It has been a long since my last post here in multiply.

I was just busy and preoccupied by the many things that I should do in school.

Projects, researches, reflections and many other brain-wacking requirements.

Secondly, my attention was diverted to some other sites. hehe

These days, I had experienced many things that I thought will not happen.

I am now coming know the real personalities of the people around me.

I am coming to know their 'other' side.

For me, it's better because who wants to be illusioned by their false masks.

People have different personas.

Some are easy to get with; some are not

Some are very sensitive; some are numb enough with other people's feelings.

That's life.

And it would be very hard for you if you live with other people whom you really don't know.

Sometimes, you are misinterpreted and you misinterprets others.

Sometimes, it is really, really hard to get along with them.

You will have to first consider your individual differences before to act, do and say something

because if not, there will always be misunderstanding.

Anyhow, that's life.

JPIA grabs 3rd place in Cheerdance 2008!

2008-09-15T04:37:00.000-07:00

The mighty JPIAns grabbed the 3rd place in this year's cheerdance competition. The Art and Sciences got the first place and UECS managed to wrestle the 2nd place. Last year, JPIA was 2nd to ANSA ( Nursing) who only managed to place 4th this year. The crowd was expecting UECS in the top but it turned out that it was the AS. The AS team did not participate last year.

It was a sad result for JPIAns who were the champion for 10 years losing only to ANSA for the last two years. Happily,JPIA defeated ANSA this year.

UECS really exerted great efforrt for this year's competition, practicing almost every night.

The Intrams is still ongoing. And it is a great mystery who will be the overall champion. Will JPIA be able to defend its title?... sana naman! go jpians!

PDA dream night!

2008-09-14T18:37:00.000-07:00

last night was the PDA dream night. also the start of our intramurals... but we had prioritized watching the the dream night.. hehe

It was disappointing partially because bugoy is not the grand star dreamer also liezel did not land on the top 3... haay.. :)

i think laarni deserves the title but bugoy deserves it more! :))

i like laarani and bugoy, also liezel..
i want them in the top 3...

performance-wise it is the three who have the best talents...

laarni was able to get much votes cz even from the start she had already many supporter when her "attitude problem" and "underdog issue" came about... she had already a stable fan base...

unlike bugoy and liezel who was never in the bottom... they had voting fans much at the later part of the season..

i am bicolano.. and i really want bugoy on the top.. but maybe we, bicolano, support bugoy much but don't really vote him...:(

let's compare bugoy and laarni..
bugoy when he was announced as the 2nd star dreamer still delivered a very nice number and burst his emotion after the performance.. that is what a professional do!
laarni on the other hand.. murdered her performance...(sorry for the word) yet we cant blame her coz of that.. but in the industry she mst behave well or else.. what will happen to her career?..
but i still love u both!

GO BUGOY!
GO LAARNI!
GO LIeZEL

!GO PDA!

TraslaciOn and the Peñafrancia Festival 2008

2008-09-12T14:30:00.000-07:00

it was a rainy, gloomy day for the Traslacion 2008. It is the procession of th image of Our Lady of Peñafrancia from her home at the Basilica Minore to the Metropolitan Cathedral. The image is brought for the novena masses soa s to accomodate the huge number of devotees of Ina coming from the different places in the Philippines.

The rain with the gusty winds did not hinder the devotees in participating the Traslacion. I was present there with my dorm-mates. The rain maybe is a sign of blessing from Ina. Many little stories can be heard from every walks of life. Stories of miracle, healing and guidance of Ina.

May the devotees especially the Bicolanos prepared themselves and indulge themselves in the proper way of devotion to Ina and the Divino Rostro.

LiyaB JournaLism FestiVaL :))

2008-08-25T00:50:00.000-07:00

last aug. 23-24, 2008 i, with niel, kevin, leo and olive attended the first Liyab Journ Fest organizing by thePillars the official publication of the Ateneo de Naga University. We represented GABAY scholars org. This event came out to be really, really different from the usual Journalism Conference where it's only lectures and seminars for better journ skills.

Liyab did not only aim to enhance our skills in writing news, features, editorials, layouting and photojourn but had also immersed us to the reality we are facing. We went to Brgy. Balatas, Naga City for a Basic Masses Integration or BMI. We didn't expect this kind of activity that's why when we reached the place we were clueless in what we will do. We thought we will get from there topics for our writings but it did not. We came there to know the residents' situation, the problems they are facing. A lot were revealed.

We were also "bombarded" with different pressing issues in the country, in the state of campus journalism, press repression and globalization. These i hoped, even for a little bit came to my mind. hope so.

The fest was a FOOD fest... hehe.. we were given much food that we can't buy with our P75 registration. I have learned much from the event that i hope will regain my interest in journalism. It is because way back in high school i lost my interest in writing. it's for me to keep the reason why.

i also hope and GABAY hopes that we are able to learn something from the journ fest that will help GABAY revive its publication. For the a student publication, is by, for and of the students. and its a right for the students, scholars to have their own publication.

for as the CEGP says, "TO WRITE IS TO CHOOSE."

HAIL TO ALL STUDENT JOURNALISTS!

my seVenteenTh birThday!!!

2008-08-24T13:53:00.000-07:00

it seems very late for me to post something about my 17th birthday... i was so BUSY this past few days even in my special day.

August 20 was just a ordinary day for me... i woke up early in the morning for the mass and somehow (not that much) expected to have the mass offered to me...but it didn't turned out to be..my dorm-mates started to greet me...(okie lng nman) here and there...

in the afternoon, my very close friends looked for me and gave a birthday gift, a personalized birthday with matching greetings of the classmates (grabe sa effort). My HS friends and also my dorm-mates looked for me and had even phoned the dorm many times but i was not there because of the f**king presentation that we should do in rizal but just made me waiting for more than an hour...(sayang tlga ng oras ko)... That is why they just gave me a sumple gift during dinner...( promising to treat me next time..)

after the conex..my kuya asked us to eat outside and treating us softdrinks and the food KKB...i did not expect it from him...hehe..kaya thankful nman aq sa kanya...

i received many comment and personal messages in friendster and here multiply greetingm ... these at least made me realized there are many people who really care for me..because before i thought there was none...

the day after my birthday..LaRenChen (my very close friendS) ask me if i will go with them to watch "A Very Special Love"... i went with them with the consequence of not attending my accounting class..(what a trade-off)...but it went good, and very memorable. The movie was good evene better coz i'm with them...

but it also brought some consequences, my mother came to see me but knowing i didn't attend class. (lagot!)

still my 17th is so far the best birthday i ever had...

sometimes...

2008-08-16T03:07:00.000-07:00

sometimes we are fooled by what we see and feel, but when we analyze and look into things deeply it turns out to be the opposite... :))

i'd rather be alOne . . .

2008-08-15T18:25:00.000-07:00

I'd rather be alone than be with someone who's just USING you...

i came to realize that we are just friends for a REASON and if that reason is gone, the same happens to that "friendship", if you can call that friendship...

it hurts when you assume that the person really treats you as a friend, a real friend, not just for any superficial reason...but came to know it the opposite...

it would be better, i assume, to cut the one and only tie that connects the two of you so as to not complicate things...

it'd really hard to trust anyone... because if you do, it will be ONLY YOU to suffer...

who mOved my cheese?.. :))

2008-08-12T21:25:00.000-07:00

i just have finished reading the book of Spencer Johnson "WHO MOVED MY CHEESE?"...

it is a story of four characters, 2 mice, Sniff and Scurry, and 2 little people, Hem and Haw... they have different personalities and their names attest to it...

right now, i am currently pondering what is really my "cheese", the one i really want to have, whethet a thing, person or a dream... many things came across my mind but im not yet which of them is my "heese"...i just can't decide for now...

what would you do if you weren't afraid?... this is a question in the story that i don't know what will be my answer...

CHANGE is the real topic of the story..to be more elaborate, ADAPTING TO CHANGE... i still don't know who am i in the story...

am i Siff who immediately sees or smells change?

am i Scurry who takes action immediately?

am i Haw who was not not able to see change immediately but was able to adapt and realize change is needed?

or am i Hem who was really afraid to change and was deeply attached to his "cheese' that when it was gone he was deeply surprised and don't know what to do?

its better though..

2008-08-12T03:41:00.000-07:00

sometimes it's better to distance yourself from a person whose presence always creates something that fire you up...

sometimes it's easier na hindi mo xa pansinin rather than magfre-freak out ka pag andyan... kaya for now... wala muna pansinin...

haay..better?..

basta yesterday was really a very tough day for 2nd accountancy students...

i thought... akaLa ko... (presumptions and assumptions...)

2008-08-06T14:39:00.000-07:00

why is it in life we always have so many assumptions and presumptions... we always say "i thought", "i used to believe", in tagalog "akala ko" and sa bicol "huna ko"...

kahit ano pa yang language yan.. it just do mean the same... we are always holding on something we want to believe or we used to believe in to (whether it be true or just a mere notion).. hindi natin alam kung totoo ito o hindi basta ang alam antin ito ang pinaniniwalaan natin... kaya if something unexpected comes, we will justt be able to say... "akala ko..."

akala ko... sanay na siya...

akala ko... ok lng sa kanya na ganun ang treatment ko sa kanya..

akala ko... di siya nagagalit o naii-intimidate or what...

akala ko... naiintindihan na niya ako...

akala ko... accepted na niya na ganun talaga ang personality...

ayan lahat ng akala...eka nga ang dami namamatay sa maling akala...

tapos, suddenly... hindi mo mamamalayan mo na lang nag-burst out na siya... and in one wink... iba na ang lahat... :))

oNe exaM dOwn... haay... dami pa to cOme :((

forgive her or not?

2008-07-31T23:33:00.000-07:00

my birthday is already near... (actually 19 days still)... i don't know what will i do that day... maybe i will just spend my time roaming around centro...or have a "sistema" with my friends...

oopPss..i still have another option...(don't know if she's serious)...an important person in my life asks my forgiveness (whehehe)...and wants to reconcile with me... and in return she promises that she will be give me a treat...(for it's just fine...) but what i am pondering if i will be reconciling with her again...i really want to but there are soem circumstances that stops me to...maybe i was really hurt...and i hated the way she has treated me back then...

i know this time will come...she was the first to admit defeat...and consequently the first to lower her pride...(i know know that she know how high my pride is)..

maybe i will have the hard time to ponder on it...i still have time... maybe i jsut want her to realize that she was wrong the time she starting not to talk to me...

if she will be able to read this...i don't know what will be her reaction?.. sorry? angry? or mixed?

waLa akOng participatiOn sa IgNatiaNa...:((

2008-07-30T12:22:00.000-07:00

it's a tradition in ateneo that every feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola the Ateneo Community will go out and have outreach programs...

lasy year...nag-house build kami...pero ngayOn wala ako participation sa IgnatianNa kc i was expecting na meron sariling activity ang aming dorm in coordination sa CCD... kaya ayOn magdodonate na lng daw kami ng DUGO...

sabi ko naman..ang payat-payat ko na nga..magdodonate pa ako?...toinks...ehh minimum mass mo dapat ay 50kg...ehh di nga aq 50kg...baka ako pa mangailangan ng dugo in case..whehehe

kaya i will spend my whole being unproductive..(dami pa ako mga projects na naka-pile up..hehehe...

God bless na lng sa lahat ng mag-iiGnatiana...

Can Jose Rizal become a SAINT?...please comment on this!!!..need ideas!!!

2008-07-22T14:19:00.000-07:00

With all the leading virtues of Rizal like Love of God, love of Fellowmen, self-control, self sacrifice...and many others (24 in all), CAN RIZAL BE A SAINT?...

I BADLY NEED IDEAS/REACTIONS ON THIS...

for me, Rizal CAN'T be a saint because he doesn't have the blessing or the approval of the CHURCH. Coz, as we know there will be a rigorous process before a person be beatified and cannonized...there should be a MIRACLE done by that person...

But, Rizal doesn't need to be a saint for us to give him due respect for all the things he has done for our country, in fact we have given much respect and importance to Rizal than most saints. Rizal's life works and writings has been incorporated in OUR EDUCATION while no saint that has been given such importance by studying his whole life.

It is enough for Rizal to be our national hero and doesn't need to be a saint. We have already put him in the pedestal of honor and it will be too much if he will be a saint...

Your Mind is Purple

Of all the mind types, yours is the most idealistic.
You tend to think wild, amazing thoughts. Your dreams and fantasies are intense.
Your thoughts are creative, inventive, and without boundaries.

You tend to spend a lot of time thinking of fictional people and places - or a very different life for yourself.

dreamy kaya ako...heheh..and i like fiction...

what is behiNd my naMe?...na-shock aQ..pRang d kc true..hehe please do have a comMent...

2008-06-14T17:53:00.000-07:00

to those who really know me..please do leave a comment...

i do need to know more about my true self...

(our prof in PDVM101 BUSINESS AND EXECUTIVE ETIQUETTE gave us an assignment to survey our friends about our personality...haayy....)

THANKS!!!

What Jerome Mariscal Austria Means

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. (flattered naman aQ!!)
You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. (slight lng..)
You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. (not true!!!..i'm not good with advicing..)

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. (not really with everyone. i have many enemies...)
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. (hindi naman)
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. (lagi kaya...)

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. (rebellious ba tlga aq?..)
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. (fun=trouble?...whehehe)

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. (wow..nice)
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. (not true!!!)
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. (sometimes lng)

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. (mayabang na nga eh..hehehe)
easily. (any and all?...HINDI KAYA!!!)

You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! (hindi naman ganun ka-grave)

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. (really!!!...i am)
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality. (yeah right!!)

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. (bad thing..hehe)
nthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. (yeah)
ou have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. (ningas kugon ba to?..hehe)

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. (whoo..sana nga...)
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. (definitely false... di xa kya ng powers ko)
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. (slight!!)
You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. (sana nga ganyan ako..)
A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. (hmm...)

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. (whoo)
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. (wla nman ako secret!!!)

You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.
And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.
You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. (wow...i should GENEROUS pla eh)

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. (curious lng tlga aq) You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. (tama..gusto ko lagi wla sa bahay..)
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. (gulo na naman..!!)

cOuld wE juZt chOosE to bE fOreVer a chiLd?...

2008-06-13T22:46:00.000-07:00

wala laNg... i just thought if there's a chance to be forever a child..

i would really ought to be a child...

there's no need to worry about everything...

no expectations from others

no big problems to solve needing urgent answers

no works to do

no need to go to school

no homeworks, projects and acads..

no need to wake up early

no enemies

you'll just play free...waiting for your mom to call you for your meal...and then sleep and goes on..

haYy...

SO NICE TO BE A CHILD...

2008-06-09T20:40:00.000-07:00

I was really and uberly mad and irritated this day because of a very proud, dumb and fucking person (nearly a bitch)...i really hate him for he perfectly SUCKS...

ang kapal talaga ng kanyang mukha (literally and not literally) para kausapin ako... pinagbantaan ba ako...wala alaga siyang hiya... FEELINGERO pa...

I was then really stupid that i became his friend...ang malala pa i treated him as one of my IDOLS... i can't deny na magaling tlga siya...but he has a very dark OTHER side...

he always want to be praised and be looked up by other persons...very proud of his achievements... he is really like that...(kulang na lang siguro pagawa siya ng kanyang rebulto).. ok lang lang naman sana siya..but he's always fond of correcting other's mistakes...even the smallest...

ayaw na ayaw niyang dinidegrade siya ng ibang tao pero HE'S FOND OF IT...

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you will know exactly what to do.

0ooo
Some people ( )
come into our lives ) /
and quickly go.. ( _ /

ooo0
( ) Some people
\ ( become friends
\ _) and stay awhile...

leaving beautiful 0ooo
footprints on our ( )
hearts... ) /
( _/

ooo0
( ) and we are
\ ( never quite the same
\_ )

because we have made a good friend!!!

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person or people involved; and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships, and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

For the numerous persons that had come to our lives, which of them or does anyone of them left an everlasting memory and and part in our heart?...

In my case, many just always come just for a REASON...that's why they just walk away...without any adieu...without any reason for them to say good bye or hate....:p

Reality HURTS....accept or ignore?

2008-05-05T00:51:00.000-07:00

WHICH IS BETTER?

To be hurt by the true reality and just accept it or to be happy with what you know is just pure illusion and yet let yourself be fooled by it?

why can't we HUMANS easily accept the truth...is it because we know we will be hurt?..or is it because we are already happy being fooled by what we hold on?...

hindi natin masisi ang isang tao na pinipilit maghold on sa isang bagay na alam niya na hindi na maibabalik pa and di na mag-eexist pa...

i was then in this situation...and it really hurts...but hindi ko na talaga kaya pang maghold on...so i let it go...kahit masakit, ginawa ko...and it still haunts me everytime and everyday i see her/him...

REALITY MAY HURT AND FREE US FROM OUR ILLUSIONS BUT THE QUESTION IS..

CAN WE ACCEPT IT?....

IT's really true na....mas masakit kapag katabi mo lang siya, pero di ka makalapit sa kanya,
di mo siya makausap....

dahil di na maibabalik ang dati...ang dating masaya...ngayon ay naglaho na....

haay...bakit pa kc nangyari to...is destiny playing with us?...

sabi nga, "one is enough, two is too much, three nevermind"

This is the first the time that I will write a multiply blog just for selected contacts... (but is cross-post to my blogspot account).

Just for my online buddies...

the reason is that...

>>>>i feel that everytime i wrote about my experiences (especially in the dorm)...my dorm-mates always criticize for some reasons... (like, i am already revealing myself to public...and also the secrets we have inside....also when i have grammatical errors in the blogs i wrote..and many others)

>>>> it's more okay if only those who really do not know me yet my friend "virtually" can read my posts..so that they can advise me or what...without bias...and cannot criticize directly...or personally...

>>>>it really feels good to be alone..yet it's very LONELY...

JOKING IS GOOD JUST DON"T GO BEYOND LIMITS...

2008-04-24T02:22:00.000-07:00

Joking is good...
it's not bad...

just that...it should be put in the right place and right time...

and that it should not go over the limits...

maybe they don't the limits..

but why is it that some people say it's just a joke...(whether verbal or physical)...

but don't know that it really hurts others already...

maybe they are just dumb...

they should have even little sensitivity...

their actions..or words should not degrade or hurt anyone...

GUYS PLEASE BE SENSITIVE ENOUGH...

Just a Way of Expression...

2008-04-16T00:38:00.000-07:00

We, humans, are, as a universal rule, are IMPERFECT...
We are accustomed to a UNENDING NEED...
we are not satisfied...
we always crave for more..
we tend to ask for what we want...
and if we don't get what we want...we tend to complain...

it's just a "natural and common" way of expressing ourselves...
what we feel or what we want to say...

we have to pour out..express out what we feel...
because if not we may burst out...

many people (like me) express what they feel without considering others' feelings...
because others may be hurt, complain and negate on what we had expressed...
They (some people out there) react on what we say, write or POST...

my "say" for them is this...

THEY WON'T REACT IF THEY ARE NOT BEING PERTAINED BY THAT STATEMENT OR SOMETHING...

It's for them how will react or what...

Me?.. i don't care if they will react...it's not my right...and it's not my FAULT...

haay..life...full of hardships and misunderstandings...

The Day the Penis asked for a Raise

2008-04-02T22:15:00.000-07:00

I have read this aricle from a friendster bulletin of my friends...

I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in
salary for the following reasons:
I do physical labor.
I work at great depths.
I plunge headfirst into everything I do.
I do not get weekends or public holidays
off.
I work in a damp environment.
I work in a dark workplace that has poor
ventilation.
I work in high temperatures.
My work exposes me to contagious diseases.
Sincerely,

P. Niss

The Response

Dear Penis:
After assessing your request, and
considering the arguments you have
raised, the administration rejects your
request for the following reasons:
You do not work 8 hours straight.
You fall asleep after brief work periods.
You do not always follow the orders of
the management team.You do not stay in
your designated area and are often seen
visiting other locations.
You do not take initiative - you need to
be pressured and stimulated in order to
start working.
You leave the workplace rather messy at
the end of your shift.
You don't always observe necessary
safety regulations, such as wearing the
correct protective clothing.
You will retire well before you are 65.
You are unable to work double shifts.
You sometimes leave your designated work
area before you have completed the
assigned task.
And if that were not all, you have been
seen constantly entering and exiting the
workplace carrying two
suspicious-looking bags.
Sincerely,

V. Gina

tribute

2008-03-16T22:16:00.001-07:00

Last night we had our tribute to seniors...of Xavier Honors Dormitory...

The concept of this tribute was like a JS prom...

This was entitled " JS promdi"...

WE will wear a promdi attire...semi formal semi-pambahay...

This event was the happiest yet downest moment i had in the dormitory...

It was the downest moment of mine because when i asked one of my friend-turned-enemy to dance with me, she refused me...i really had regretted doing it..it made me feel so ashame and pity myself...i shouldn't had done this...i should have thought many times... I already sensed that she will refused i'd still insisted...i was so assuming...

maybe she really doesn't want to reconcile with me...

The Dorm Outcast

2008-03-07T15:20:00.000-08:00

What will you feel if you are not close with those people you always see and live together? What will you feel if all them are against you and will always find ways to criticize and let you down? Will you be able to withstand it or will you just surrender?

When I entered college, I entered a dormitory, a dormitory of I thought very intellectual scholars with many honors and achievements. Yes, it's slightly true but it haven't met my expectations. It's okay, I said to myself, for it will be easier for me to adapt and live with them. A dormitory, with “Honors” in its name, I live with that's why I often tell myself, “Should really belong here?” or “Does its name fits the truth in it? I can't answer these questions maybe I know the but just can't accept.

In my first days in the dormitory, I experienced what a new entrant will feel, hesitant and conscious with his every actions hoping not to commit any mistakes. I then just often stays on my place and not talking to anyone. But as the days past, faster than what I and they expected, I became close to them. I really thought we were really close to each other and they consider me as their friend. But, it is the truth.

Just near the half of the first semester of stay, I had small fights with some of the old dormers. Thus, some had been angry and didn't like me and even said that I'm just a freshman yet I'm already acting like that. But it's me, I will not be like this if they don't treat in a similar way.
One of my closest fellow dormer has also been the greatest enemy I had. We had been really close and with our other close friends formed a group exclusively for us. I thought that we will never fight again because we already had a fight before(it's the fight I mentioned before) and caused us not to talk to each other for about three months but this time around will end up us not talking maybe forever.

The real cause of our fight is really possessiveness he have with his friends. He didn't want us to be friends with his enemies but I didn't follow him and chose to be with his so-called outcast. I, myself, also became an outcast, a dorm outcast by choice. I'm not sad with it but even proud of it. I will always withstand them and will never surrender because if I surrender, I loss my battle with life and fate.

author's note: this is my personal recount....

Two-sidedness not Possessiveness

2008-03-07T15:19:00.000-08:00

Just about a year ago, I entered the University and also the Xavier's Honor's Dormitory for Men where I had encountered many personalities, attitudes, contrasting characteristics and traits. Living in such complexity, one will need to be sociable enough to interact with these people he'll be with most of the time. I, knowing the real me, am really a friendly type of person, easy to get with and game all the time. But as the cliché goes, You cannot please everybody,” others find me two-sided, meaning- I don't have consistencies and playing safe in relationships. Befriending two completely opposite group of individuals and thus be turned between them and coming to a point about deciding whom between the two you'll go with. An event that once happened to my life.

When I entered the dormitory, the first dormers I get close to were the group of Kuya Arman, Ren, Loed, all are upperclassmen. For the first half of the semester, we've been always together from eating breakfast until the rest of the night, having our midnight snacks. With them, I felt the happiness of having friends and companions and this had gone stronger as we come to know each other deeply. I become closest to Kuya Arman whom we fondly call Kuya Choc – a nice and loving person on the good side but so sensitive and seriously possessive with his friends. This, though he really didn't speak out to us forces us to just focus on our group of friends and not with any other.

Our companionship and togetherness was put to an end when I and Kuya Choc had a very simple fight, just over closing the television and putting the keys and remote control upstairs. How stupid we were, I realized. He asked to do it but I refused to do so. I, then, hurriedly go upstairs first but waited him closing it. After that and starting to go up, I asked him if he is angry but I heard no reply from him. I just then kept silent and thought his anger will just fade away the next day. But from then on, he started not talking to me and I to him, and treated each other as though invisible and nonexistent.

During that span of our long cold war, I became close to my other fellow dormers , Kuya Krephel and also Kuya Joel. Kuya Joel was Kuya Choc's best-friend-turned-best-enemy and Kuya Krephel, an adversary of him that he hated much. This was the scenario for the rest of the first semester, I go with Kuya Choc's adversaries and he with his old friends. I, myself, don't hate him but I don't have the courage or maybe I just don't want to ask apology to him. He hates me not just because of what I did to him but also also befriending his enemies.

When the second semester came, there was nothing new with my ongoing friendship and cold war until we had our dorm's first apostolate for that semester, a housebuilding at Balatas, where a 360 degrees turned of events happened. Kuya, surprisingly smiled and talked to me but I didn't easily reacted much to that scene and hadn't minded it for I thought reconciliation for us will never ever happen. But this contrite acts continued. A new friendship started and our three month long cold war ended. Just a few days after it, I had known that Kuya Choc and Kuya Ren, his best friend that time was already on quarrel even before we had reconciled. This had even heated up the next happenings.

And as progress, we got used of this scene. I was close to Kuya Choc's circle of friends, only four of us left and at the same time also Kuya Joel, Krephel and Kuya Ren. Knowing Kuya Choc's possessiveness, I just did not mind and continued befriending his so called outcasts. Until, for the second time around(that's already enough) he again started a cold war, and guess what the reason, I just hadn't gone with them during the breakfast, lunch and dinner and instead go with Kuya Ren and Joel. My getting close with them, I know added up to his anger to me. I tried to save our on-and-off friendship. I initiated reconciliation and gave a peace offering for him but nothing happened. I gave up but still hoping someday, unexpectedly, he'll talk to me and we'll be friends again.

I thought it's because of Kuya Choc's possessiveness but blaming myself for all the things that happened, I realized that it's my two-sidedness that wrecked our friendship. Possessiveness is the suspect but two-sidedness is the killer.

A Glimpse of my Statistics Class

2008-03-07T15:17:00.000-08:00

From the U-shaped building of Dolan Hall at the fourth room of the second floor every Friday and Saturday form 3:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon is my Descriptive and Inferential Statistics Class under Miss Glenda B. Quinto. Most of my classmates here are already graduating or already upperclassmen and also most of them, new to me that's I sometimes find myself quiet and not participative in our discussions.

Our class often starts with our teacher giving a recapitulation of the topics we had discussed the last meeting. This only will consume a third of our period and the time she introduced a new topic, another boring topic, it is already near the time and be left hanging until again the next meeting. This caused us not to clearly understand the said topic and worst, to learn nothing about it.

Most of us find the class, so boring, simply because the topic is boring is not enjoyable and extremely boring and Ma'am is not doing any alternative and exciting way to present it to our class and this eventually led us not to pay attention to the class discussions. There is really no discussions for participation from the students is absent. Ma'am will just ask some questions, just testing how firmly we believe and know a specific idea, that we are able to and will never answer. Most of the time, after stating a formula or idea, she'll just ask the question in Filipino “Naiintindihan niyo?” for many times but hear no answer from us.

One may say that Statistics is just a simple and easy subject but if you, unluckily, fall to Ma'am Quinto's class especially if you are graduating, you may not receive your diploma at time for surely you will find this subject as hard as or even harder than your major subjects. This will really force you to study to the fullest in your lessons to pass it. All of our major examination are comprehensive- meaning it's always from the start. You should exert the most of your effort and time to study and comprehend all the lessons, for one hundred and one percent sure, you will find it, a nosebleeding and brain-wracking one.

Aside from these things, our class pacing is, most of the time, behind compared to the other statistics classes for we discuss a topic for a week (two meetings) or more and sometimes our schedule coincides with holidays and special no class days. Already behind, but still we find it really hard to catch with our lessons.

With her loud, clear voice resounding the whole classroom, you'll certainly be awake in her class and somewhat making you feel terrorized but on the other hand, her cute smile will certainly give you laughter and return also a smile.

This is a glimpse of our boring yet exciting and challenging, fun yet not enjoyable statistics class. Hope you will not be in this class if you take your Statistics. This is not a warning just a friendly advice.

Understanding Stress:

Signs, Symptoms, Causes, and Effects

We all face different challenges and obstacles, and sometimes the pressure is hard to handle. When we feel overwhelmed, under the gun, or unsure how to meet the demands placed on us, we experience stress. In small doses, stress can be a good thing. It can give you the push you need, motivating you to do your best and to stay focused and alert. Stress is what keeps you on your toes during a presentation at work or drives you to study for your midterm when you'd rather be watching TV. But when the going gets too tough and life's demands exceed your ability to cope, stress becomes a threat to both your physical and emotional well-being.
Stress is a psychological and physiological response to events that upset our personal balance in some way. When faced with a threat, whether to our physical safety or emotional equilibrium, the body's defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” response. We all know what this stress response feels like: heart pounding in the chest, muscles tensing up, breath coming faster, every sense on red alert.

The Body’s Stress Response

The “fight-or-flight” stress response involves a cascade of biological changes that prepare us for emergency action. When danger is sensed, a small part of the brain called the hypothalamus sets off a chemical alarm. The sympathetic nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline, norepinephrine, and cortisol. These stress hormones race through the bloodstream, readying us to either flee the scene or battle it out.
Heart rate and blood flow to the large muscles increase so we can run faster and fight harder. Blood vessels under the skin constrict to prevent blood loss in case of injury, pupils dilate so we can see better, and our blood sugar ramps up, giving us an energy boost and speeding up reaction time. At the same time, body processes not essential to immediate survival are suppressed. The digestive and reproductive systems slow down, growth hormones are switched off, and the immune response is inhibited.

The biological stress response is meant to protect and support us. It’s what helped our stone age ancestors survive the life-or-death situations they commonly faced. But in the modern world, most of the stress we feel is in response to psychological rather than physical threats. Caring for a chronically-ill child or getting audited by the IRS qualify as stressful situations, but neither calls for either fight or flight. Unfortunately, our bodies don't make this distinction. Whether we’re stressed over a looming deadline, an argument with a friend, or a mountain of bills, the warning bells ring. And just like a caveman confronting a sabertooth tiger, we go into automatic overdrive.

If you have a lot of responsibilities and worries, you may be running on stress a good portion of the time—launching into emergency mode with every traffic jam, phone call from the in-laws, or segment of the evening news. But the problem with the stress response is that the more it’s activated, the harder it is to shut off. Instead of leveling off once the crisis has passed, your stress hormones, heart rate, and blood pressure remain elevated.

Furthermore, extended or repeated activation of the stress response takes a heavy toll on the body. Prolonged exposure to stress increases your risk of everything from heart disease, obesity, and infection to anxiety, depression, and memory problems. Because of the widespread damage it can cause, it’s essential to learn how to deal with stress in a more positive way and reduce its impact on your daily life.

Signs and symptoms of stress

To get a handle on stress, you first need to learn how to recognize it in yourself. Stress affects the mind, body, and behavior in many ways— all directly tied to the physiological changes of the fight-or-flight response. The specific signs and symptoms of stress vary widely from person to person. Some people primarily experience physical symptoms, such as low back pain, stomach problems, and skin outbreaks. In others, the stress pattern centers around emotional symptoms, such as crying jags or hypersensitivity. For still others, changes in the way they think or behave predominates.

The following table lists some of the common warning signs and symptoms of stress. Use it to identify the symptoms you typically experience when you’re under stress. If you know your red flags, you can take early steps to deal with the stressful situation before it—or your emotions—spiral out of control.

Retirement

The potential causes of stress are numerous and highly individual. What you consider stressful depends on many factors, including your personality, general outlook on life, problem-solving abilities, and social support system. Something that's stressful to you may not faze someone else, or they may even enjoy it. For example, your morning commute may make you anxious and tense because you worry that traffic will make you late. Others, however, may find the trip relaxing because they allow more than enough time and enjoy listening to music while they drive.

The pressures and demands that cause stress are known as stressors. We usually think of stressors as being negative, such as an exhausting work schedule or a rocky relationship. However, anything that forces us to adjust can be a stressor. This includes positive events such as getting married or receiving a promotion. Regardless of whether an event is good or bad, if the adjustment it requires strains our coping skills and adaptive resources, the end result is stress.

Major life changes

Major life events are stressors. Whether it be a divorce, a child leaving home, a planned pregnancy, a move to a new town, a career change, graduating from college, or a diagnosis of cancer, the faster or more dramatic the change, the greater the strain. Furthermore, the more major life changes you’re dealing with at any one time, the more stress you’ll feel.

Daily hassles and demands

While major life changes are stressful, they are also relative rarities. After all, it’s not every day that you file for divorce or have a baby. However, you may battle traffic, argue with your family members, or worry about your finances on a daily basis. Because these small upsets occur so regularly, they end up affecting us the most.

Daily causes of stress include:

Environmental stressors – Your physical surroundings can set off the stress response. Examples of environmental stressors include an unsafe neighborhood, pollution, noise (sirens keeping you up at night, a barking dog next door), and uncomfortable living conditions. For people living in crime-ridden areas or war-torn regions, the stress may be unrelenting.

Family and relationship stressors – Problems with friends, romantic partners, and family members are common daily stressors. Marital disagreements, dysfunctional relationships, rebellious teens, or caring for a chronically-ill family member or a child with special needs can all send stress levels skyrocketing.

Work stressors – In our career-driven society, work can be an ever-present source of stress. Work stress is caused by things such as job dissatisfaction, an exhausting workload, insufficient pay, office politics, and conflicts with your boss or co-workers.

Social stressors – Your social situation can cause stress. For example, poverty, financial pressures, racial and sexual discrimination or harassment, unemployment, isolation, and a lack of social support all take a toll on daily quality of life.

Never Under Estimate Anyone

2008-02-19T02:33:00.000-08:00

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his Customer,

"This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."

The barber puts a five rupee coin in one hand and two one rupee coins(1+1=2) in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?"

The boy takes the two one rupee coins and leaves. "What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store."Hey, son! May I ask you a question?Why did you take two one rupee coins instead of five rupee coin?"

The boy licked his cone and replied,*Because THE DAY I TAKE THE FIVE RUPEE COIN, THE GAME IS OVER *.

The link between man & god is FAITH: an inspirational conversation..worth reading...

2008-02-16T21:38:00.000-08:00

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof:So you believe in God?
Student:Absolutely, sir.

Prof :Is God good?
Student:Sure.

Prof:Is God all-powerful?
Student :Yes.

Prof:My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?(Student is silent.)

Prof:You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student:Yes.

Prof:Is Satan good?
Student :No.

Prof:Where does Satan come from?
Student:From...God...

Prof:That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student:Yes.

Prof:Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student:Yes.

Prof:So who created evil?(Student does not answer.)

Prof:Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student:Yes, sir.

Prof:So, who created them?(Student has no answer.)

Prof:Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you.Tell me, son...Have you everseen God?
Student:No, sir.

Prof:Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student:No, sir.

Prof:Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student:No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof:Yet you still believe in Him?
Student:Yes.

Prof:According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist.What do you say to that, son?
Student:Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof:Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student:Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof:Yes.

Student:And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof:Yes.

Student:No sir. There isn't.(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student :Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student:What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof:Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student :You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof:So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student:Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof:Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student:Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof:If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student:Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student:Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)

Student:Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student:Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir.With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof:I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student:That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

NB: I believe you have enjoyed the conversation...this is a true story, and the student was none other than.........APJ Abdul Kalam, the former president of India.

Un-learning the ways of Un-love.

2008-02-16T21:25:00.000-08:00

When you are absolutely happy in your aloneness, when the other is not a need, it is then that you are capable of love. If the other is your need, you can only exploit, manipulate, dominate but cannot love.

Because you depend on the other, possessiveness arises -- out of fear. "Who knows? The other is with me today; tomorrow he/she may not be with me. Who knows about the next moment?" [...] Out of that fear of the future, you become very possessive. You create bondage around the person you think you love.

But love cannot create a prison. If love creates a prison, then what is left for hatred to do? Love brings freedom -- love gives freedom. It is non-possessiveness. But that is possible only if you have known a totally different quality of love, one not of need but of sharing.

Love is sharing of overflowing joy. You are too full of joy, you cannot contain it, you have to share it. Then there is poetry, then there is something tremendously beautiful which is not of this world, something that comes from the beyond.

Often I say, learn the art of love. What I really mean is: learn the art of removing all that hinders love. It is a negative process. It is like digging a well -- you go on removing layers of earth, stones, rocks and then suddenly there is water. The water was always there as an undercurrent. When you remove all barriers, the water is available. So with love. Love is the undercurrent of your being. It is flowing, but there are many rocks, much earth to be removed. That's what I mean when I say: learn the art of love. It is really not learning love but un-learning the ways of un-love.

Last February 1-3, we had a very exciting, fun-filled, adventurous and heart-warming IMMERSION. Everyday I had experienced different, difficult and easy challenges..

February 1, 2008

The time we had arrived at Sto. Niño, I thought that I'm really familiar with the place but in my surprise I haven't in the center of the barangay. These had increased my excitement for it. Before the opening program we already talked and asked some residents there if they know our host families, where it is located and how's their house. Asking them, I have known that my host family is just near the barangay hall. When the opening program and the distribution of the students to their respective families started, we were so excited seeing our host families and when our names and our host family were called, there was no one that go in front but after some minutes we saw Nanay Salvacion coming. She accompanied us to their home just nearby. When we reach their house, it's semi-concrete where the main house is concrete and the kitchen and front is just made of nipa and bamboos.

We then introduced each other have some stories about our own lives...After some time, Nanay ask one of her son to cook rice but he is somewhat hesitating then I go to the kitchen to have a look at it. I ask Jerry, my buddy, to prepare the rice and I will be the one to prepare the fire. After putting in fire the cooking pot, we then started deciding what to cook for lunch. There was a basin of 'kangkong” in the kitchen so we decided to cook it with sardines. We prepared the dining table and we ate altogether except for Tatay Tiburcio who was there in his farm and Kuya Rolly who Nanay said really go them with them because of some reasons. After some stories and after fixing the dining table and washing the dishes, we then asked Nanay for us to go to the school for the feeding program...

When we arrived at the school, seeing our classmates, we somewhat missed them much and asking how's their host families. We then started preparing for the for our respective activities. My tribe, the Partribu Triblets, was assigned in the painting committee. But during the preparation, we were not able to help in painting because of few painting materials so we just helped prepare the food. The time we are preparing spaghetti, I really find it difficult to cook it because there were many supervising the work that will make feel irritated but thankfully we had made it right for still there a great cooperation in us.

After the successful program, we went to the beach to rest and roam around the beautiful beach of Sto. Niño. We also went to our classmates' houses to visit them. I and Jerry then went home to already start preparing for our dinner. Our dinner was then fried fish and souped fish. It was about before dinner when Ate Rochelle came from her work at Tigaon. She is the mother of the little baby in our house. After dinner and fixing all, we already slept early because we were so tired and exhausted by day's activities.

February 2, 2008

The second day, Jerry and I woke early for we will be the one to prepare the breakfast. We then started to prepare and cook the spaghetti we had brought. It was somewhat to prepare like how we had prepared during the feeding. We then share in a delicious and memorable breakfast. We just have a problem for one of my brother does not eat anything with meat, pork, beef or chicken, so we just opened a can of sardines for him. I am really surprised of such unusual behavior.

After taking breakfast, we decided to bring Tatay breakfast because he already there early in the morning to plow his farm. We walked about six kilometer back and forth through rice fields and riversides. It was a very tiring activity yet a fun-filled one because we had a nice time with my brothers. We went home about 10:30 and we then rest for some time and took our bath on the other house where there are also immersees.

After our lunch, we then went to the school for the Socials. Our tribe with Alab tribe of Pin-Pin tried to practice and think what we will present during the socials but because of lack of cooperation we just end up on a song number. Before the socials, we had really find hard to look for participants for our class game made of families with their immersee. And also during the game, it so hard to manage because some of our classmates don't help during our class game but still we made it right. After some instruction after the Socials we went home already.

When we got home, Nanay is already preparing for our dinner . We then helped her preparing the malunggay leaves. Roger, my little brother, said that he want us to taste and try their “specialty”, Lucky Me with malunggay leaves. It is taste really good. After we had finish eating. Two of our classmates went to our house and its already 8:00. Nanay then told us to also go out because during the first night we haven't go out so we went out with my three brothers. We then went to some of our classmates' houses to encourage them to go with us and we also met some classmates on the road so we just decided to go together and have a bonfire near the beach. We were until before 10:00 when we saw some big flashlights we already knew that's it's Ma'am Bigs. Before we really don't intend to run and we want to wait for her for when she is already walking toward us, some of us shouted and ran away so we also an away. We had really ran fast that my one of my brother ask me why we are running. We reached home exactly 10:00 and after washing our ourselves we already sleep. It was really tiring being a Wonder Kid.

February 3, 2008

We had been woken up the instant hard rain that watered our house. There were hole in the roof of our house so when it rains outside it also rain inside. We then started to prepare for our breakfast. We just coked some packs of instant noodles. We just finished breakfast when the chapel bell stated to ring... We then took a bath. I was then being called by nature but I can't withstand our type D comfort room so I just kept it until the mass. When we went to the chapel, we then saw my fellow classmates and we started talking about what had happened last night. When Ma'am Bigs came to us, we felt differently and my buddy slipped his lips thus Ma'am had known that we are guilty of what had happened last night being the Wonder Kids.

After the mass, I went to one of my classmates house to take C.R. Then we went to have some walk and decided to go home to prepare for our departure. When we got home, Nanay had already prepared lunch and we just helped her arrange the table. When we were already eating we started thanking them for a very nice stay and experience with them. After bidding goodbyes and thank yous we started packing our things and prepared our token and the card given to us. We then have some family pictures and the documentation team also went on our house to take our picture as a family. When we were already in the jeepney, we waved our hands when we saw Nanay and Ate Rochelle. We will really miss them much.

And that's what happened in my wonderful immersion.

--challenges I experienced during the immersion--

I had really find hard to seek in through the immersion especially when we and Nanay are telling stories about ourselves because I am not a person telling much about myself and sometimes I can't relate what Nanay and Jerry are talking about.
I find it hard to take a bath because we still have to go to the neighbor's house just to take a bath where it is very open.
It is also very hard to have a C.R in our house because the C.R. there is not that good.
Deciding on our group's presentation is very difficult for most of my group members is not cooperating that's we haven't presented.
It is a challenge being a Wonder Kid.

- - Reflection- -

The immersion, as a whole, was so significant to me. It had really taught many thing about the reality of life.

One of significant experiences I had during the immersion was when we walked about six kilometers just to send breakfast to Tatay who was on the farm on the other barangay of Mabca. We walked through rice fields and riversides. We had been somewhat lost cause what we had walked through is not the regular way to get there so walk a longer distance just to get there. I had really appreciated Tatay's hard work and industry for goes there too early not taking breakfast and walking a long distance everyday to attend the farm that is not really his but is only attending it and the pay is during the harvest time.

I was also struck by Nanay kindness and generosity because you could already call their house a public one for if goes to their house and ask for some coffee or other she will really give some even though it just enough for them. That's why their supply of such are fast to run out.
My host family was very good and kind to us. Nanay Salvacion is a very kind and soft-hearted mother and Tatay Tiburcio is a very hardworking father.

Every time we are sitting in the balcon, preparing and eating meal, we are telling stories. Nanay, always tells us their way of life about their family and also her problems encountered. She is also telling us stories somewhat gossips about those in our neighborhood.

During immersion, I am so thankful for is that we had enough and good food to it and clean water. Iam also very thankful that we are eating together for at home we really don't eat together. I am also grateful that I am not struck by any sickness and that I'm always healthy and that no bad event had happened to me. I am also thankful that every moment of the immersion had been so important to me.

I learned from these experiences during the reality of life that we are not the only people here on earth. I had learned to appreciate all the things that I have and be contented with it for we are already so blessed compared to those in the area who are already with the simple things they have. I also learned the value of family for there they have the strong bond that strengthens their family. It had me miss my family so much during and after the immersion. What struck me most is their sense of community that you will not see in the urban areas and I don't in my own place. There is that care and love for their neighbors.

During the immersion process, I know that Jesus is always with me and worked in me for He had helped me seek in through the immersion. He helped me know and understand the true essence of this activity. I know that He called me to walk barefoot and to leave my doubts and reservations to this immersion and just feel and go with the flow of the immersion.

Authentic Christian Humanism

During the immersion, I have responded to living out Authentic Christian Humanism by being the true me and letting myself be drawn to the true essence of the immersion and by doing my best to make this a fruitful experience.

My response is just a simple one for I know that even though this is just simple yet it can make a great difference to me and others.

I know that I have listened to the people I had encountered. They taught me to really appreciate the value of family and contentment. I really learned a lot from Nanay and Tatay.

Feelings, thoughts and reactions

At first, I feel bored for I know the place is very familiar to me and I feel no excitement but when I reach the barangay, I still haven't been there and that brought again the excitement in me. The time I saw my host family's description, I really thought they are such a big family. The time we first talked with Nanay I really feel awkward for I think she's somewhat strict but sooner I gained confidence in her. When Nanay asked us why we are here we then replied that we are for an immersion and that we will live with them to experience a new kind of environment and learn about the realities of life.

Nagawa ko bang magpakatao?

This is a question that is really hard to answer but I can say that during the immersion nagawa kong magpakatao. It because I know I became a true person showing the real me and leaving my reservations and doubts and letting myself be really immersed within a new environment , a new life and undertaking.

Recollection....

Dictionary.com defines recollection as
the act of re-collecting or the state of being re-collected.

Last night we had our 2nd monthly recollection....

It focused on the Appreciation of the Holy Eucharist....

Hindi na raw kc nagsisimba ang mga dormers...

and kung magsisimba naman and reason ay " it's for attendance"....

sabi nga sa RE subject namin nung high school...

"the Eucharist is highest form of prayer..."

But in our current state here in the dorm... you can count inyour hands those who are really frequntly attending the mass...

Bro. Gil, who conducted our recollection left us with a question

"What is your concern at this point of time? Do you find God in that concerns?"

Kung tatanungin ako kung ano answer q dyan sa tanong n yn ay . . . ahmm..

i just keep it secret...

joke lng...kc sa point na to...

ang main concern is my studies and I slightly find Him in this...

in term of my attending the mass...

I can say na it's merely for attendance... but hindi p xa full undrstanding...

kung baga it's just in between...

Liar Paradox (Eubulid or Epimenides Paradox)

This is a well known paradox written by the great stoical logician Chrysippos. The poet, grammarian and critic Philetus of Cos was said to have died of exhaustion attempting to resolve it.
A Cretan sails to Greece and says to Greek men who stands upon the shore: "All Cretans are liars." Did he speak the truth or did he lie?

A week later, the Cretan sailed to Greece again and said: "All Cretans are liars and all I say is the truth." Although the Greeks ashore weren't aware of what he said the first time, they were truly puzzled.

If someone says about himself that he always lies, is this the truth or a lie?

Double Liar Paradox (Jourdain's paradox)

This version of a famous paradox was presented by English mathematician P. E. B. Jourdain in 1913.The following is written on opposite sides of a card:

Back side
THE SENTENCE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS CARD IS TRUE.

Face side
THE SENTENCE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS CARD IS FALSE.

Barber Paradox (Russell's Paradox)

Analogue paradox to the 'liar paradox' formulated by English logician, philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell. There was a barber in a village who promised to shave everybody that does not shave himself (or herself).Can the barber shave himself and keep the mentioned promise?

Lazy-bones Paradox

If destiny designed a master plan which defines everything that is to happen, isn't it useless, for example, to go to a doctor? If I am ill and it is my destiny to regain health, then I will regain health whether I visit a doctor or not. If it is my destiny to not regain my health, then seeing a doctor can't help me.How could you question the presented opinion?

My Favorite Sophisms

1. Crocodile Sophism

A slim crocodile living in the Nile took a child. His mother begged to have him back. The crocodile could not only talk, but was also a great sophist and stated, "If you guess what I will do with him, I will return him. However, if you don't guess his fate, I'll eat him." What statement should the mother make to save her child?

2. Is it possible to give what we don't have?
Sophist: "Yes, greedy man gives his cash with sorrow. However, he doesn't have the cash with sorrow, so he gives what he doesn't have."

3. What is better - eternal bliss or a simple bread?
What is better than eternal bliss? Nothing. But a slice of bread is better than nothing. So a slice of bread is better than eternal bliss.

A few sentences from life

Nobody goes to that restaurant; it's too crowded.
Don't go near the water 'til you have learned how to swim.
The man who wrote such a stupid sentence can not write at all.
If you get this message, call me, and if you don't get it, don't call.
ADVERTISEMENT: Are you an analphabet? Write a letter and we will send you free of charge instructions how to undo it.

Think about these

Let's say there is a bullet which can shoot through any barrier. Let's also say there is an absolutely bullet-proof armor which no object can penetrate. What will happen if such a bullet hits such an armor?

Can a man drown in the fountain of eternal life?

Your mission is not to accept the mission. Do you accept?

A girl goes into the past and kills her Grandmother. Since her Grandmother is dead, the girl was never born. If she were never born, she never killed her grandmother.

If the temperature this morning is 0 degrees and the Weather Channel says, "it will be twice as cold tomorrow", what will the temperature be?

Answer truthfully (yes or no) to the following question:
Will the next word you say be 'no'?

What happens if you are in a car going the speed of light and you turn the headlights on?

I conclude with this challenge:Let the God Almighty create a stone, which he can not pick up!

Are you proud to be a Filipino?!!

2008-01-23T01:19:00.000-08:00

PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO

We, really should be proud to FILIPINOS...

here are that will make you really proud...
In the Philippines, Filipinos were introduced to
the English language in 1762 by British invaders, not
Americans. The USA bought the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Guam from
Spain in 1898. The Filipino-American Independence War from 1898 to 1902
ensued, killing
4,234 Americans and how many Filipinos? 16,000 were killed
in action and
200,000 died from famine and pestilence. (The Philippines
lost and was colonized until 1946.)

Los Angeles, California was co-founded in 1781 by a Filipino
named
Antonio Miranda Rodriguez, along with 43 Latinos from Mexico
sent
by the Spanish government.

What antibiotic did Filipino doctor Abelardo Aguilar
co-discover?
Hint: Brand is Ilosone, named after the province Iloilo, Philippines. Erythromycin.

The one-chip video camera was first made by Marc Loinaz, a
Filipino inventor from New Jersey.

The first ever international Grandmaster from Asia was

Who invented the fluorescent lamp?
Thomas Edison discovered the electric light and the
fluorescent
lighting was thought up by Nikola Tesla. But the fluorescent
lamp
we use today was invented by Agapito Flores (a Cebu man
named Benigno
Flores of Bantayan Island, according to the Philippine Daily Inquirer),
a Filipino scientist. Americans helped then-Philippine
leader Ramon
Magsaysay to develop it for worldwide commerce. (Yes! Many
foreigners
have noted that the Filipino population has Asia's highest
rates of
inventors and international beauty queens.)

Two Filipina beauties, Gloria Diaz and Margie Morgan, chosen

Search years ago.
In a mid-1999 MTV chat, she said that competing against

age was "not fair."

Besides gracing fashion magazine covers, this international

designers, like Calvin Klein, Chanel, Christian Dior,
Christian Lacroix,
Donna Karan, Gianni Versace and Yves Saint Laurent - Anna
Bayle.

Who is the personal physician of United States Pres. William

Landor, thrilled
upon seeing a Bicol landmark in 1903, wrote: "Mayon is the
most beautiful
mountain I have ever seen, the world-renowned Fujiyama
(Mt.Fuji) of Japan
sinking into perfect insignificance by comparison." Mayon
has the world's
most perfect cone.

(Note - recent eruptions in 2000 caused damages to its perfect cone)

accent?

The first female president of the Philippines sworn into
office in 1986
was Corazon Cojuangco Aquino. Her maiden name is Chinese...

In a March 31, 1997 article, The New York Times reported
that the CIA
manipulated Philippine elections: "(CIA operative Col.
Edward Lansdale)
essentially ran the successful presidential campaign of
Defense Minister
Ramon Magsaysay in the Philippines in 1953."

Who was the first Asian and/or Filipino to snatch America's
Pulitzer
Prize? Philippines Herald war journalist Carlos P. Romulo in
1941. (He was
also the first Asian to become UN President.) The first two
Filipino-Americans to garner the same award 56 years later
were Seattle
Times' Alex Tizon and Byron Acohido, who is part-Korean.

Filipino writer Jose Rizal could read and write at age 2,
and grew up to
speak more than 20 languages, including Latin, Greek,
German, French and
Chinese. What were his last words? "Consummatum est!" ("It
is done!")

"What's still most impressive to me about the Philippines is
the
friendliness of the people, their sense of humor...," wrote
Honolulu
journalist John Griffin in a 1998 visit to Manila.

Thought of the Moment:

"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating."

-Pearl S. Buck, novelist, Nobel laureate (1892-1973)

I NOT STUPID TOO

I Not Stupid Too is one of the most beautiful satirical comedy film that I ever seen because what they convey in the film is the real situation that happens in most families.
The part of the movie that I was able to relate with is the part where Chengcai is being hit and caned by his father, Mr. Lim, because of being expelled. This part really captured my emotion that I even shed tears because it also happened to me many times. Every time that I make mistakes, my father will always punish me by hitting me a “stick”. He will tell me to get a stick or a small branch of tree that I could withstand when he cane me. I know that it's my fault but sometimes I feel that it's over. There was a time that I really got hurt that I couldn't walk or sit well. I am just glad that now he already stop doing to me.

The significant events and lines that gave me lessons about parents' role is when the parents of Tom and Chengcai were called by the principal for the grave misconduct that they have done. The principal then told them, “Parents are the role model to their children. Bad family bred bad children.” This just tells that it's the parents responsibility to guide and discipline their children. What the parents do will greatly affect what kind of children their sons and daughters will be.
Parents, though so busy earning a living for them to give their children a better life, must always have time for their children for them to know what's happening to them. In the movie, the parents of Tom and Jerry are so busy with their jobs that don't have time for them and worst, they just communicate through “notes”. Jerry's parents no time for him led him to save money to buy one hour of his father's time for him to attend his concert and later led him to steal money for the canteen.

The part where Tom fixed his father's laptop and rushed to his office to give it to him but never received gratitude and worse, be scolded for not being in school. Parents must also appreciate what their children do for them, no matter how small it is because a simple “thank you” will make them happy and encourage to do it again.

Parents should also appreciate their children's achievements and stop comparing them to their own selves and setting much expectations for their children may think that whatever they do their parents would never be grateful to them. Like in the movie, when Tom received the award as the “best blogger”, his mother was not grateful about it and even said that there's nothing good with blogging.

The event that gave me lessons and insights about my own role as a son is the part where Mr. Lim bought a new “kiddie” bag for Chengcai but he didn't like it that led to their conflict and his father to be mad at him. As a son, I realized that we, children, must also appreciate every little thing that our parents do and give us for a simple “thank you” will already pay the efforts and money they had spent for us. Most of the time when my mother will give and buy me something, I will say that I not good and it's not what I want that why she won't buy me again something though she know I want it.

Another event was when Mr. Lim is already dying and he requested him to bring him the principal for him to thank her. Chengcai really followed his father pleading the principal to come with him. I realized that as a son we must always follow our parents for they won't let us down.
The event that gave me lessons about family relationship is when Mr. Steven Yeo treated his Tom in a dinner. As a family, it is important to have enough and quality time for the family to talk about their current situation so that there is a communication between parents and children. The starting lines of the movie: “When was the last time someone praised you? When was the last time you praised someone?” let us realize the importance of gratitude especially within the family to foster good relationship. Parents must always think positively not scolding their children for example due to low grades but encouraging them to do better the next time. They should also understand why their children are behaving in a different manner for it always has its roots.

I Not Stupid Too is really good film the really give the importance of quality time and communication within the family as a way to improve family relationship.

'Obama win should inspire Fil Ams to join US politics'

2008-01-07T02:59:00.000-08:00

wow...inspired ang mga Pinoy...we should be looking for Fil-Am in the US Congress and Senate...
and maybe even White House...what a wonderful dream to be..

The strong showing of United States senator Barack Obama in the race to the White House should serve as an inspiration for Filipino Americans to start "throwing their hats in the ring" of US politics, a political blogger said Monday.

In an interview on Mornings@ANC, political blogger Dean Jorge Bocobo said that the win by Obama in the Democratic caucuses in Iowa last Thursday should be an example for Filipino Americans to start participating in US politics. "I think many people don't realize Barack Obama is not your typical black president -- he's not just black, he's black and white," said Bocobo, referring to Obama's Kenyan and American heritage.

Obama, a first-term US senator from Illinois, has a Kenyan father and an American mother."Barack Obama is actually closer to the immigrant tradition of American. He's like a second generation Filipino American. Barack Obama is closer to that type of politician," Bocobo said.Bocobo said that Obama's campaign focuses on issues that Americans want to know rather than making his race an issue, which makes it important for Filipino Americans."We have to be thrilled with something like this.

Some Filipino right there now could be the next Barack Obama. We have the talent, we have the kind of people who could be [the next] Barack Obama," Bocobo said."Every successful president harkens back to his immigrant routes. What that meant to be able to come to America and become president. We in the Philippines need to look at these candidates in terms of what it does for us," he added."It should serve as an inspiration for our own [Filipino Americans] there. One day, we will lead that country too," Bocobo said.

Interesting aspects of World's 2nd richest man--Warren Buffet

2008-01-07T02:56:00.000-08:00

His the humblest billionaire I've ever known....hope all bilionaire be like him...
aasenso ang world...hehehe..

"I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's Business"

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity. Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!

2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.

3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.

4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.

5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.

6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis. He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: do not lose any of your shareholder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch
television.

8. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour.But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk. His advice to young people:
"Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and Remember:
A. Money doesn't create man; it is the man who created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you are.
C. Don't do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you feel good.
D. Don't go for brand name; just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on those who really are in need.
F. After all it's your life so why give chance to others to rule your life

God bless you all
