I'm Officially not yet Registered

October 31 has been an exasperating day. We experienced 7 hours of waiting in line with no good food to munch on and a chilling atmosphere. It was really inviting to get out of line and simply go straight home to have a sumptuous hot dinner and to sleep comfortably on a soft bed with thick mantels. But, we were too eager to exercise our right. We did not give up. we stood through the hours and the only thing that brought us up are moments of humor – of speakers and stupid people being tricked to follow them; of hot-headed individuals fighting and rationalizing a stupid cause; of cheaters being snapped into their conscience after being barraged by a great number of long-waiters. After all the hassles we've gone through, I ask myself now – was it worth it?

Technically, we have yet to be officially registered. We'll have to go back on the 3^rd of November to finish our biometrics proper. Nevertheless, we are sure to be allowed to use this right – this right that asks too much, yet, gives too little. Voting properly won't really be a big thing. My vote dissolves itself with millions of other votes – many of which are simply bought or are even of non-existing individuals. It will simply be a speck of dust in the foundation of the government that we wanted to form – it's not even bricks-worth. With or without it, nothing will really change after the election. Sue me for being honest.

However, we should not simply look at the effects of our votes only up to the election. We should look far – behind the unknown horizons. Registering is not really about getting that right to vote – it is showing the will to have a change. It brings hope to the country that has been too much devastated by corruption. Even if we cannot change the regime, we will serve as epitome of people who shows passion to this country. Our action would serve as a model to follow for the other generations that will come after us – and we hope, that in the near future they will eventually win this battle for change. This vote is, but a speck of dust, but it is enough to irritate people to change their malicious deeds; to touch people to give care to our mother country; to push them to vote in the next elections – until we beat the number of illegalities.

We still have a long way to go, but, it should not be a reason to halt us from doing it now. The earlier we act the shorter the time it takes for us to reach the end of that way. What we lack in this country are not good leaders – but rather, concerned citizens.

His Request:

Be a philosopher, not a smart-ass blabber. Still, being a member of Kapitas, I invite you to be my friend.

My Reply:

Acting Intelligently... doesn't really make you intelligent... You are simply making yourself nothing more than a laughing stock... *yawn*

furthermore.. if what you have said shows the real mind of a philosopher.. and if indeed what you say about philosophizing is true.. Then, I choose to veer out of it... because it is senseless for philosophy to seek for the truth if it will allow its conclusions to be illogical and be filled w/ fallacies...

Im sorry but I am not a hypocrite... so I will choose to reject the request... the name calling is so uncalled for... especially for a kapitas member who should have moral integrity... probably it is best to harness your rationality more than paying too much on barraging anyone that you argue with... Because the attack of another person is in fact a fallacy.. too bad you don't recognize them to be relevant...

good day..

Note:

Some people wouldn't understand... especially if they haven't read the cause of this... I suggest that you check on Andrew Adriano's Facebook wall first.. and find out there what actually occurred... for the seniors... Im sorry but I feel the stupidity of adding him simply because he is an alumni... Weighing everything... I don't think it counts anything more..

----------------------------------------------------------

I'm not a hypocrite... I do talk back when some people don't even have the decency to talk proper... Especially when I know how stupid they make use of their rationality... I pity them... That's why it is best to shut them up rather than continue making them believe the lie they hold to be true... *yawn*

How could you ever talk back?

If you're even wondering if it is about you, then I tell you now - Yes, it does. But, probably there is just too much in your mind  now - too much to even hear my whispers. I've even been shouting it out, but, you're simply too preoccupied to even notice. (or) Probably, I simply have too much pride - it's not that you don't notice, you simply wouldn't want to entertain...

The longing stayed too much. I've tried to get it off, but it simply sticks in. Someone told me - I was even stupid to let go, but the situation asked for it. I could not push on thriving over the futility of everything that was coming in. No one was blamed over what has happened, but we both know how unclear everything went. It was a bizarre ending for quite a beautiful story...

Now, I find my self viewing you from a window. I made so much stupidity in this world, but probably, the worst ever was giving up on you. I would want to budge you out of there and make you see that I am here. But, I could feel you'll simply budge back and go back in. I had the chance, but I chose to throw it out - Now, it's haunting me...

Nevertheless, I'm not mean enough to think ill. How dramatic it may seem - I still want to see those smiles on your face. Which is why, even if everyone is pushing me to do it, I'll simply have to halt and stay on ground. It is not because of the uncertainty of my success, but for the safety of your happiness. I'd be waiting; hoping; but never praying...

I would be here wishing everything was not a bizarre ending, but a plot to make something more out of that beautiful story.

The Star...

Here I am again left in the shadows. I feel numbness. I could not feel my ability to move. All I am now is a being sitting and mourning, waiting for a final crush so that i may be turned to pieces. When every teardrop resounds as it falls down, memories remakes its scene in my mind.

I could see a star as it shines brighter and soon enough it became the brightest of all. But in a sudden mismatch, the star dashes down into the darkness, into a world where no smiles are seen; where no laughter is heard. It is where we reach oblivion.

The star looks back at the image less coast where no sun rises nor sets. As he looks across the horizon all he takes sight are the wondrous souls seeking the same exit to the cradle they are in. But it appears the place was never a cradle it was a prison. As the star tries to set free the weights fastened to him, he fears the heavens left him alone. He heard no horns, no flapping of wings nor the harmony of music by angel voices.


The star was left to stand by its own. As the time passes by, the same glow that flattered a thousand fades into the melody of sorrow. The star lost hope that, soon, from that coast shall rise a new morning. He loses hope and takes an endless sleep until the heavens heeds his call...

------------------------------

Found this in my old stash of stupid ideas. Having read it again brings a euphoric feeling in me.I could remember and feel the drive why I wrote it. And probably now, the same repeats itself.

The Last Curtain Call..

There was a story of a man who had a journey. He was a man that moved barriers and poured down compassion. And, until the end of his journey, he did not miss to join the world as one. With or without the breath of life, he did not fail to touch people's hearts. He gave help to the needy and did not fear the poor. He was more than the dance that he invented, the songs that he made and the albums that he popularized.

A man is not a being of names, but, rather a being of actions. The populace does not remember you if there is no event one can incorporate you of. His reputation is not as pure as a linen cloth,but, nor is anyone else. What matters in the end is the balance of all the consequences of ones actions and, as i would believe everyone could agree, he made a greater good -  one that we remember more than the flaws that he was accused of.

I salute the King. May his further journey in the next world be as majestic as how he influenced the millions in this world.

---------------------

I had the urge of making one after watching the memorial ceremony given to MJ,

What does it take....

Who should we trust? Why should we even trust? What is trust? Though simple as it is spelled, grasping its real essence is like diving in a pool of fire. One may bother giving me its dictionary meaning, but I do not think the totality of such a vague word can be encapsulated by it. To try putting a point, one of the internet dictionary would define Trust as the firm reliance on something's capabilities. Up to what rating should your firm reliance ponder on? At the very least, it would be rational enough to believe that having a higher standard than yourself can be used as something to base our reliance on. However, would it also be safe to say that those whose standards which equals, or even lesser, when compared to your own status be ample enough to be given that firm reliance? Assuming finding the object of our firm reliance be easier, to what extent is reliance accountable for? Summing it up, their is more than "firm reliance" and "something's capabilities" that makes up trust. Taking the two phrases even begs to be clearly understood alike the word it tries to give essence to.

I am not so much in finding a right way to define trust. I would think that doing such asks too much a task for me and that I am not the right person to take on such issue. However, I am to analyze trust as an action of man. Be reminded that definition is not the only important part in determining essence.  Why does man give trust? Layman would suggest that this is our way of trying to pay for the magnanimity of excellence portrayed by the object. It would be likely that trust is an award which is given to someone that has reached the standards that one has. However, man is a dynamic being. His rationality makes him a changing being. As man applies his critical and analytic thinking on the world, he is vulnerable enough to be swayed constantly. The man to whom you have applied your standard could give a different output when assessed for another period. I am not to say that they always do change. However, how can we be assured that they did not change? A such, trust is only good for that certain period it has been assessed. Trust cannot be carried on to the future because of the uncertainty of its basis.

Trying to put trust to exist even after the assessment is not granting an award but rather a burden. It tries to dictate the object of trust to maintain in himself a personality that has agreed with the standard given by the person assessing. It also serves as something to take hold of another person. When you are told to be someone who is given trust, you are expected to stand at the back of that person and be taken blame if you do not. Trust is a curse hidden behind the positive view of the populace.

Why should we invest too much on trust? Why should we even care if people give us trust? The only important thing in doing an act is giving all your best to succeed and not beg to be given that trust. Trust is nothing more than an ornament and does not play a role in the order of things. One could exist not having such. I would better be a man who acts than a man who is trusted.

Who's Next in Line?

It would be quiet easy if choosing the presidency in the country is done with a dice game. However, running a country is not any better done through gambling. The country is wincing from all the misfortunes and mishaps that it has experienced for generations. Who among us now would not want the most efficient and the most eligible leader to head us in soaring high and flipping the chances of our country? The power to vote is in the hands of the Filipino people and each one is given this task to make use of this power with rationality.

I am not fond of watching television. You'd probably see me more time sleeping than sitting lazily in front of the TV. However, as I was taking some free time watching, I caught myself being fascinated with an advertisement regarding a political forum to be aired coming that Sunday night in ABS-CBN. Both the patriot and the philosopher in me was aroused and built the urge for me to wait late for that program. I would commend the institutions that made this forum to happen, the politicians who were brave enough to face the scrutiny of the people and my regrets to those politicians who were not able to join the said forum - I would do hope that they dismissed the request not because they are too scared of letting people see the deeper, and probably dirtier, side of their personality.

Very few a times would a person not brag about the things they have done. In the ring of politics, a usual tactic that any of its players would probably do is laying everything they have done. This is the reason why I would probably side and suggest that Sen. Escudero won it. He won not because he was the best in showcasing every acts he has done for the country. He won not because he showcased the best acts he has done for the country. I see him as a winner, for the said forum, because he was able to portray his magnanimity, eloquence and intelligence without bragging anything. However, Do not not take this as if I take judgment only on that issue. If we are to weigh the answers, no doubt can we suggest  that he is one of the politicians that gave the good  answers. Probably, what gives him a run for his money is the fact that his answers are not meant to please but rather to inform. I,however, am saddened that it appears he has no real plan of running for office - as what he has always been telling everyone, his age would hinder him even if he really wants to run for that office.

Though my spotlight is on Escudero, I would not think less of those others that gave time to join. As I have said earlier, the mere fact that they have faced the people vulnerably gives them the warrant of being applauded. Gordon's talk on human dignity and pro-activity proves to be a good view of the country. My problem, however, is his rejection of accepting that the Filipino people and its country already made their own identity. He shouts for identity, but it would appear that the identity he wants to put up is not what the Filipino people is. He shouts for a perfect identity, an identity that is only ideal and does not represent the Filipino populace; an identity which he wishes to make out for the people but not by the people. Panlilio's stint is about self sacrifice. He highlights his choice of leaving the church for the people. However, I would think that this is nothing more than a "gimik". By giving such stories, he would probably be able to cater both the catholics and the non-catholics. Moreover, his total failure cooked when he answered the question whether he would side to the church for some local issues. He escapes the question and leaves no position regarding the matter. A person without his own stand and is better off fleeing to please both side of the party is nothing more than a typical politician. Mar Roxas is actually inflicted not with bad answers but with bad questions. I would have to say that the worst questions were given to him. A such, he was not able to maximize this questions to put him up. Though Mar's lack of eloquence, another blame would be for the host for choosing questions that only attacked him based on issues which were already being answered outside the forum. Last but not the least, They have also called upon Teodoro. I will be honest, I did no listen to him. The moment he uttered his first words which suggested that he was running actually gave him minus points for me. If you would be well-informed regarding news, you'd not miss the questions raised regarding the public/political ads that were released during Pac-man's bout. One of those that appeared was Teodoro's government-funded advertisement. He was asked regarding it and he strongly answered that such ads is nothing political because he does not even have plans of running. Let alone lying is nothing laughable, what makes more of the fact that the ad was sponsored by the department he is in? Is this not corruption? Sue me, but I would not want to think that this is alike the "I'm sorry" issue that was done by the person he supports - the current president.

Many political propaganda have been circling around us. I've received comics of the life story of Binay. I've read through Bayani Fernando's self made tabloid. I've also watched Villar's advertisements. Everyday has been a time to be exposed to all this petty stunts. The least should we know that this are hand-picked information regarding our politicians. They've been using this to manipulate our mind in thinking that they are the superman in flesh. I pity anyone that votes based on this ill-made propaganda. The good way of unmasking this politicians and seeing the truth about them is by placing them seated in front of the people who they want to serve. They owe everything to the people, so why not let the people judge them as they are. We should be mindful enough to think that rather than letting them choose what they want us to see, we should be the one to assert and ask what we need to see.

The government is not made by the man that sits on the position. It is not even the government for that one man. The government is a creation of the people, by the people and for the people. We are responsible to whatever may come to the country in the future. Let us all be empowered. More than just voting, each individual should think and rationalize which name is competent enough to be put on their ballots. Know your politicians and, probably, know your next president.

H1N1 has landed...

    Have you heard the news that the country is not H1N1-free anymore? Oh yes people, we are now obliged by the event to be scared and erratic. To make matters worst, the Department of Health has yet to round up the people who was with the H1N1 victim on his/her flight to the country. The person beside you might probably be  a carrier and some weeks from now you'd probably be dead.

    No one knows what would happen next. But for the sake of pessimism, It is nice meeting you all. I hope to still see you all until the end of this supposed-to-be pandemic.

Knockout...

1...2...3...4...5...

May 3, 2009 - The Pac-man is again going to exemplify his magnanimity in the boxing ring. People from all walks of life have discussed the issues behind the near coming battle. Each and everyone have taken their stand as the flame of the battle nears its explosion. Would the destroyer still be fit enough to defend his winning streak and, again, show the world that it is a Filipino that rules over the boxing ring? Or is it time for him to bear the definite shame of loosing and having all the lime light on him gone amidst the darkness of being stricken aback?

The country is currently in economic crisis. The turmoil brought about by the depreciating value of our money and the rising of the current living cost has pushed us down to our knees. Nevertheless, it seems life is no better without watching a game of the so-called "hero". Pac-man's heroism is credited to each and every upper-cuts, straights and jabs that he releases to put the current contender to sleep. The fact, however, is that the same upper-cuts, straights and jabs are ,in economic terms , null and costless.

People stops their work, wastes their allowance to buy a pay-per-view ticket or even go more eager trying to bet for which round they believe the bout would end. They would cheer for him because they believed he is the symbol of the real Filipino working for his countrymen. He is probably the best hero this country could ever have. So much for being a Filipino hero, he actually chose his daughter to be born in the USA to take citizenship.

Wake up people. The Manny Pacquiao you are currently so proud of does not count you as part of his winning streak. He takes you as the audience and wishes that his final blow would give him the ticket to have your vote count him into a position in politics. He works not to give fame for the country but, rather, to get himself more endorsements and sleep in a money-woven bed. He battles not for the Philippines but for The Manny Pacquiao that he is.

Nevertheless, I wish him the best of luck and hope he gets the belt that exemplifies the hypocrisy he has taken into being.

The Exposition of the Ted Failon Story...

In this country, there are two kinds of person. We have that whose life is as poverish as that of a rat and, that whose life is within the limits of fame and fortune. It has been long an issue that this two opposing sectors have struggled to exist over the other. More often than not, the upper hand is claimed by those who have the capacity to trade for it. Due to these situations, the powerless are left unguarded and are bombarded by the realities while those above them watch in laughter.

Since early morning, everybody I have met has been discussing with me their idea of the Ted Failon case. Did he kill his wife or was it actually a suicide? What has been the problem that could have probably caused the death of this individual? Were the evidence substantial enough or was everything a set-up? I am probably in no position to answer the following questions. All I have is my queries regarding the situation and I would usually end a conversation as I jokingly suggest that it's probably a conspiracy plan between Korina and Ted so that they may live happily ever after. (For those that does not know the context... Korina Sanchez is a close friend of Ted...)

But, rather than trying to give assertions to something I have no idea of, what caught my eyes was how the reality presented in my first paragraph was enacted by everyone regarding the Ted Failon case. Would people sensationalize the event if it was only experienced in a fisherman's hut? Would it be televised and discussed by everyone if it was only related to a garbageman? Would  the top powers of PNP, NBI and DOJ  be reacting much if the issue only came from a farmer's family?

There are other cases which are equal or even more complicated than the Failon case, but they are simply left in the side line because there is no name to which people can attribute it. It is actually weird to find heads of the police district calling for press and being the one to announce a simple paraffin test. Police would go on doing investigations quickly and even take multiple times to survey into the site of the crime. Teams and teams of investigators are released to check and re-check evidences that may present a conclusion. Justice and guilt seems fast paced when officials and sectors can gain popularity from a certain crime case.

Watching this, I feel shame for the system that we are in. Justice in this country is more of a commodity that we would need to trade for than a privilege that we should be given.

Capiz Fiesta Trip '09

What: Golden Fiesta Celebration of St. Joseph
When: March 24 - 30, 2009
Where: Sibaguan, Roxas City, Capiz

some pics haven't arrive yet... gonna add on it when i get them...

Out of the City Light...

I've been tired going to classes for the past few months. I went through a bunch of paper works and examinations just to clear off the previous semester. It would be fair enough to think that such activity equates to a stress-relieving summer vacation.

My summer days would technically be short lived knowing I'd be getting some advance classes. It is quiet a bum to even realize I've thought of such ideas. But, I would like to think it's for the better because if I pass the next few semesters, I'd end up with only 3 subjects for my last. That would be good enough for me to focus on a soon to be well-made thesis. For now, rather than getting anxious over a decided point, its better off to soak in the water, do some nature walks, capture group activities, and to burn under the summer heat.

The last day of classes was the official start of the rooster of events for my vacation. I did not even need to enter school for the last day, thanks to my very understandable professors. I had to pack my things because early that next day we are to move out to celebrate "Fiesta" in Sibaguan, Capiz.

Road Trip to Capiz...

Their are 3 choices to get to Capiz - by road (through RoRo) by air (through PAL and CPA) or by water (through Aboitiz Ships). I had to scrap off the water idea because I really hate staying inside the cabin with nothing to do and with nothing to explore. It has totally no scenic view and the food is so bad. Everything you'll see is water, water and more WATER. Neither do I want to go by air. My parents planned to leave Manila Saturday of that week - the day of the Fiesta. Where is the fun? I know I'd be stuck at home (referring to the place of my cousin - where we stay when we are their) during that festivity. Moreover, I was to go home by monday because of a scheduled final exam in Math. In other words, getting their that late means I have no time to let the "province feel" sink in on me.

Over-hearing my aunt and cousins planning to go by road 2 weeks earlier of that day made me feel a chilling excitement. Their was no thinking twice. I made up my mind their and then. I want to go by RoRo. We are to bring the family's Toyota Innova for the said trip. It was cosy enough for the 5 of us (me, Quina, Karisma, Bebot and Midz).

The trip took 16 hours - 4 hrs ride to Batangas Port, 3hrs via RoRo to Mindoro, 3hrs rough ride to the other side of Mindoro (Roxas Pier), another 4 hrs via RoRo to Caticlan and a 3 hr night ride to Sibaguan, Capiz. We've passed by the most extravagant views; felt the jumpy bumpy provincial roads with all the dirt booming to the atmosphere as we go by them; gone out of way and lost the signs; and having hard time getting help from locals because of language barrier. Their was not a dull time as we went road tripping. Thanks God we arrive safely.

Pre-Fiesta Activities...

It was already late night when we arrive in Sibaguan. Everyone was expecting us which is why they had a really good meal ready for us. After eating, we had to unload the bunch of bags that we have brought - our things, fiesta paraphernalia and some gifts for our relatives. It was time to end the day. Comfy sleep for us after experiencing a day ride going their.

The next day, our relatives was at home with us sharing the stories of our parents' childhood. The whole day was laugh trip because sibaguanons have this really funny way of exaggerating stories. We also had the time to go check for best buys in the provincial market. I wont go out without my favorite Capiz food - Palad. It is a weird looking fish with two eyes on one side. They'll fry it to a crisp such that the texture of the fish would be like fried chicken skin. But most of all, it tastes good. I'd recommend it to everyone. We had also time to soak up.The beach was only a 10 min ride from home (actually almost all amenities does) which is why we had quiet a time to take leisure in its waters.

Golden Anniversary of St. Joseph Chapel...

Their was awfully a lot in line for the festivity. We, Arabia from Manila, was so concerned regarding it because we are to sponsor the events that took place. Everything was planned in Manila and now we are here to make it happen. It was 50th celebration of the Chapel of St. Joseph. My mother and her siblings aimed to help sibaguan every Fiesta because it was their parents that founded and built it. Our grand parents took note to leave under the care of the next generation the said chapel. More probably, they'd pass it to us after. Raffle Tickets, Prizes and Invitations were all shipped to Sibaguan earlier. We had a whole afternoon of packing for the goody prizes.

The typical fiesta activities underwent. They had night novenas and a procession during the vesper before feast. Food was flowing in and out of the kitchen to accommodate everyone that attends the Fiesta. More family members came (even my parents who flew to Capiz that day only). I had to ask my aunts regarding whose hand to kiss because some of them I have only seen for the first time that day. Alcohol was raining and I was one of those that stayed to drink from it. It was a very exasperating day for us.

The Fiesta Specials was done afternoon of the festival. The Raffle draw and the much awaited "halad-saot" was to happen. We gave away 50 winners for 50 years of prosperity for the Chapel of St. Joseph. Prizes came all the way from my mothers clients to some friends from Bacolod and from my relatives abroad. Sibaguanons are not really well-off with regards to finances that is why they eyed on getting those goodies we made ready for them.

Halad Saot is a street dance competition we had planned to do for the first time. It is a dance competition of 5 groups of more than 10 members. Referring to the name, Saot meant "to dance" while the other one, I have no idea what really meant. By virtue of being a UP student, I was given a sit to judge the dance competition. It was hard knowing the best specially that everyone was ready to win.  Nevertheless, little differences and details made the final result. The group who was considerably the crowd's favorite won. Unknowingly, they were comprised mostly by Arabia relatives which is why one of the loosing team was shouting "ihaw-ihaw" ( it means judges cheated to let them win). I was in composure so I need not stoop down to their level. Besides, my mind is clean. I did not do any of what they are talking about. Moreover, even the crowd knew they were the winner. And to make it all funny, It was the 3rd placer shouting "ihaw-ihaw" cause they expected they are to win. Duh! you are not even 2nd place, what makes you think you are worth the prize? Anyhow, the event was a success and every one had fun during the event.

After the Fiesta, everyone was planning to go to boracay. I was hoping I could come. Bad day for me because I have no such time to leisure. I would still want to stay, but I had to leave earlier than the others because I was to have an exam for my math class. I took off monday morning via plane to Manila and went straight to UP for my exam. It only took 30 minutes for me to finish the exam and I would think it was the easiest I have ever answered. Hell! I went out just for a 30 min activity. It wont be the last time I'd be going to celebrate Fiesta in Capiz. I would have to say it was a worthwhile experience and going through the same mambo jumbo would be something I would expect next year.

P.S. Pictures and Videos would be available soon. They are still in boracay and they brought the video and digital cameras with them. I really hate my math teacher! GRR!

If I were an angel..

If I were an angel...
Would I close my eyes or would I entertain..
This world where people suffer and cry over flesh;

If I were an angel...
Would I dream of another place or shock the horror out of me..
As I hear the tear drops calling my name and screams asking for help;

If I were an angel...
Would I fly away or stay..
Feeling this world as it gets infested by prejudice, hatred and sorrow;

If I were an angel...
I would have closed my eyes.. dreamt of another place.. and flown away...

but...

I was never an angel...
I never had the choice.

Happy Birthday Paola!!! Happy Baby Shower's day Paola!! Baby Shower's day? :))

It turns out.. I've Got nothing to do..

  Out of the 19 years I've been living,  16 years of it has been spent studying and acquiring academic prowess. I've actually known more facts in the world compared to the things I know of myself. Can you blame me that after 16 years of doing the same circle, I've grown tired of it? I could only wish that time can get more fast paced. I still have about a year in the university, but even with such a short wait, I cannot stop thinking their is still much to do and accomplish.

 This past weeks was such a bummer. Exams and Papers have started sinking into my schedule. Teachers actually forget that students do not only have 1 class to attend for the day. I do recognize that they are doing this to develop in us the mastery of the subject being taught. But, for god's sake, we have a life. Academics is not the whole world- Others even say studying is a useless tool when you face the real world. What really matters out there is that you have the ability to coup up with the changes happening and to have the "sip-sip" attitude.

 The importance of the school is not really because one could learn from it. We are actually going to school simply to complete the number of units for a curriculum. These  is as much as it can help us when we go face reality. It is not even a passport for us to reach greater heights. Its only a slight advantage in our resumes. It's nothing more than a bragging right - "I graduated, eh ikaw?" But asking such is a different question than asking if you have succeeded. Success in the future is not a direct result of finishing college. It is a choice which we build up not in school, but when we are already out their doing something useful for the society - getting ourselves a job.

P.S. I am not to put into mockery the academe or those that places their dreams in the hands of the academe. But, when it's all over, you'd actually have to face the fact that what you have learned would end up kept away- hidden dormant in the corners of your mind.
  

Me, Family, Friends & Relatives.

This are old pics which I would like to post...But currently... I dont know which Album I would place them...

Warm Congratulations...

The yearly election routine has come to an end. We have seen much of the pictures of people bannering the building walk; hearing the continous chants from avid political supporters; receiving leaflets of each candidates' GPOA and character description; reading through articles in the school paper about the platform of each political party; and listening to passionate speeches, debates and conversations uttered by each and every candidate. The war has halted and the victor stood still. My warm congratulations to those chosen as representatives of the students.

The Student Council is not in position as a higher entity in the heirarchy of the student body. They are but a summon of the student body - a wall lying by its foundation. Without the very existence of the students, the existence of the student council is far from imaginable. Thus, it pains me to think that their would be instances where officials forget the very cause of their stay in the council. They are their for the student's welfare - not for their party's dignity; not for a good addition to their resume listing; not for giving advantage to those who they need to pay gratitude.

My message is for the whole council- for those that has done the mistake and for those that is to do the mistake. You have no right to step high cause the sit you'll be sitting on is not for power but for a slave. You have been voted to give service and not to be served. You are not to push us your ideas nor to try to manipulate us to siding with you. We need more of a listener that would hear the concerns of the students and present it for the council to see their shortcomings and to give answers to the students neccesities. What is good for the student is not what you think is good for them, but rather, is what they think they need. Being in position is not being on top of everyone, but rather being under everyone. Our concerns is your outmost priority. Being those that placed you into position, our expectations of you is clear. We want you to perform as individuals representing the whole.

Again... my congratulations to each and every official that the student body decided to put into position...

P.S. Special mention to KaPiTas rooster of politicians who i expect to perform with outmost concern for the students...

X'mas 08 Vacation Somewhere.

My aunt being a hard-core catholic... we went to every church we could ever find in the internet...

Me, Mami Thel, Ate Mabi and Kuya Gelo.

This actually comprises 600+ photos.. Adding it all here would be too excessive and people probably wont even look at them 1 by 1... so I simply decided I'll just let you guys take a glimpse of some of them...

Why we end up celebrating somewhere?

My mom didn't want my brother to celebrate Christmas Alone... So we were sent to fill up that space..

Comments on the place?

Somewhere not an inch same with the Philippines (considering... Before the Marcos Regime, we were actually better than them in terms of economy.. and their plan was only a copy of what Marcos planned for the Philippines... Shame on us..)

Comments on the Event?

Fun.. Fun.. Fun..

Back to Square 1...

It has been a while since the last time I have posted an article online. I never even thought I would find myself back in front of my computer desk stipulating a topic to talk about for an entry. A boring afternoon and a hyperactive person may not appear to be a good combination, however, in my case, such formula adds up to a mumbo-jumbo of ideas that cant simply be put stored in a human brain. Due to the need of something to rest out this uncertainties, I decided to go back to where I once travelled by- the road of blogging.

The Internet has grown to be a library of infinite ideas. Articles, both made by amateurs and professionals, has scattered all over the net waiting for someone bored enough to "google" them up. This entries range from nose-bleeding academic papers to cheezy love stories. They come in different forms, layouts, lengths, and levels of language mastery. In the middle of this piled up ideas, resides this entry i am currently making and others that I would likely produce in the future. Many who tried to make their 1st entries (like me) end up giving up after the next couple of posts, that being optimistic already. What assurance can I give to myself that this will not simply go to waste? Will everything I plan to make will end up in the same garbage bin those that gave up went to? Or will I even get the hold of the idea of "giving up" even if its clear, as water, that what I have made are equally useless as theirs?

The wrong idea gives birth to the wrong goals. The problem of people is their craving for public applause. Failure at the minimal level presented above is due to the fact that people write simply to gain popularity. They wanted people to think they are so brilliant to even think of a weird idea or so great that they captulated in such wonderful words a puny topic. I am quiet the contrary. I went back to blogging not to get appraised. I have much of my self-esteem intact that the need for such appraisal is not anymore something I would likely act for. I am here to tell my story. I want people to hear me but I care not what their reactions maybe. My cause may give a level of appraisal, but it should be pointed out that I am here not for such to happen. One can never remove such a happening, but one must put a higher priority to getting heard and rendering our ideas existent for the mass.

Expect me to write for everyone. I am attoned in making people see what errors they may have done or what injustice the world has rendered to them. I write to take refuge from the anxiety of not allowing people to understand what I have thought of the world and those happening in it.

Welcome to those who dare to read my twisted mind.
Welcome back to me.
