National Sentiment

The future of the nation lies in everything that lies within its boundaries

For a long time I stucked myself into the nothingness of the civilization in which I find myself during my realization about how the society turned against those who lives below its standard. In the silence of the solitude that my social sacrifice brought to me was simply amazing into the taste of my mind, as i plunge my ideas and my mind into a couple of textbook that i found at our old house and read those books that i forgot to read solely in my own satisfaction. The book, specifically the national bestseller Rizal's True Love by his granddaughter Gemma Cruz Araneta. I was attached into the nationalism in the article (In the book, as it is the compilation of her article published weekly in a national newspaper) and question myself if I'm worthy enough to be called as indeed a Filipino. But in my question, my mind suddenly remembers the society that i leave for a while to turn myself into an isolation of realization during the two months vacation period as a college student. My observation in my fellow generation suddenly came out of the depths of question, thus in the question I quickly answer the question for my fellow Filipino rather than answering if I'm indeed a Filipino through what Rizal has told us through his novels and his ideas.

It was a total disappointment as i realize that my fellow Filipino in my generation tend to be amazed in what other culture has to offer rather than looking down into the culture that is in the industry that we Filipino, being defined as a Filipino. Most of them "Koreanized" themselves or if not "Japanized" their thoughts and some of them almost disgracing the industry we have specifically the telenovelas in which they find themselves amused in watching shows with subtitles as the show primary language is Korean or Japanese (some are Taiwanese and i guess Filipino doesn't need any subtitles for English Movies). These generation finds themselves in listening in music that bares no understanding as they spoke a strange language that isn't included in the Philippine compulsary education subjects (except of course those linguist course).
We are exterminating the every reason and proof of being a Filipino or if not, places all this proofs down into the place where we could've place other foreign culture. We tend to forget what is written in our bloods and if possible have our own kind erected into a more worthy and proudable ideas. On such, we are slowly forgetting what our forefathers die for and that is to be independent and definable nation that our country, Philippines would be in the point of a United Nation even at the circumstances of its geographical divisions.
It isn't this divisions that divides our nation, it is our beliefs that there is right and wrong and there are superior and inferior culture. We are all Filipino, and such phrase seems not to turn into a greater favor but in times in which Pacman won another fight or the National Team were victorious against other foreign teams. Some of us were forced to called themselves as a Filipino because they are born in this poor country.
There are few of these nationalist whom we tend to hate or forget in the midst of the Globalisation. I'm not against the globalization, but to unite the world, we must first come into a firm standing and believe that we are what we are and exterminate those things that isn't important, and i'm talking the way how human must live out of the savagery that has been brought by our animal genes. The things is that we are exterminating things without even us knowing ourselves thus in the long run exterminate all important things without us knowing it.
If we fail to even concentrate in knowing ourselves then there is no possible chance that these country would ever prosper. We keep on plunging ourselves in the depths of other culture as of like what we did to our basic education in which we base such thoughts because 'Other' nation has 12 years basic education and it is just us who has 10 years. Even our government in which solely base on the American, we are not american, we are Filipino, and even how great the democratic system was in other nation if such thoughts seems to disagree to the very culture of our nation then we just end up in trying instead of doing things for progress.
In terms, it seems like the education in this country is not doing its job well specifically how we know ourselves and how we need to know ourselves. The education seems lost that tends to make those who learned lost not for those who has not perception where they must go. We are exterminating the fact of every aspect that these nation is not a nation to be united by one thought but to unite the entire nation even at such circumstances that every individual are free of the crowds and has firmly isolated by their own thoughts.
These education is not the education we must have, we need more than years, we need more humanity in every moment we have. And to love others we must love ourselves and every fraction of what makes us as us. We have to be ourselves first before being others or we'll be in prison without knowing that we're choking because we are constricted by these chains.
Being Filipino is not just being Filipino as of being a Human., we need to have a proof and a firm identification that we are worth to be called as that and to figure such is to plunge ourselves into the point that we have to know ourselves.

The Fault in Men

There is no road sign in life roads. Life roads with sign isn't life roads but roads alone

We are in a journey with no precise destination and such destination can be found on the way while we walk on our path created either by our own or by others who orders us to walk and take that path instead of ours. Not just like on the roads, there are instructions, there are directions, there are routes, but in real life roads there is no such things as that. Signs ins't needed to guide us, either instructions how do drive safely, it is another way of killing our own freedom, our own unique destination and that is the fault in men.
They guide us not on the way of being liberal on our own thoughts but they guide us as if they controls our journey, they didn't know that, they just thought it wasn't like that. Probably if they see the fact about that. perhaps they may figure out that their mere existence are inevitable and they lived not on their own but in the minds of others. It is true that slavery works better without people knowing that they are. We are all slaves on the minds of the greater people who keep us under the sense of ignorance.
Since we are born people taught us that what is being given in the school will make us free from slavery and that the knowledge will make us liberal, a very unique individual in the crowd--probably most of you asked to be in the top class just to be a proof that you are different. But that isn't different at all, what makes someone different is to think that they are not different even knowing that they are.
The knowledge given in the school are knowledge not to set us free but to make us either to be in the crowd or to be differenrt.
If the school taught us to be liberal then probably we are not relying on the crowd, in the food given to us by the market, maybe we can find our own foods and look for alternatives rather than asking for such product from the capitalist, maybe we can make things without waiting, maybe we are all humans. The school taught us the ignorance of knowledge, we are numb in the real feelings, we are deaf in the music of silence but we blame all of these to others.
The fault of the men is that we keep ourselves in the open prison and convinces ourselves that the greatest place is right where we are and the school taught us to stop believing in fairytales, to search for something in the depths of darkness, to live deliberately in search of something significant.
The Fault in our stars is us.

Ang Ampalaya

Karaniwang sinasabi ng mga bitter sa lovelife; "Mahihiwalay din kayo"

ANG MGA DAKILANG AMPALAYA

Pag ang babae mayaman
huwag mong iwanan
hindi dahil may panlibre
Dahil minahal mo siya, pare

Pero pag ika'y iniwan
Huwag mong iyakan
sama-sama nating tawanan
ang nangyaring kasawian

Maraming single dyan
Masaya at malaya
Pero karamihan sa kanila
ay nagpapaka-AMPALAYA

Napaka-bitter nila
Kaya sila AMPALAYA
"Putang-ina niya"
'Yan ang bukambibig nila

Maghihiwalay naman
hihintayin nalang
at saka siya aalagaan
para kanyang malaman
na siya ay nawalan
ng tunay na nagmamahal
sa puso niyang sugatan

Dahil kami AMPALAYA
malungkot pag wala siya
at ibang tao ang nagpapasaya
iba ang nagpapangiti sa kanya

Pero pag kami, malupit
parang isang inipit
masarap kahit naipit
nagmamahal kahit masakit
sa taong walang malasakit.

Hopeless Romantic

The silence of the night keeps me awake
and to write this verse that I take
in every move that I break

Hopeless Romantic

The mirrors of her soul that shine
Wonderful as like in shore so fine
Its beauty concealed in a bliss
That makes I to smile so please.
Her sweet curve sets all straight
That i feel to change my trait.
Though I so fine thee something afraid,
That her hear in fear to laid.
Thy love which is lost in plead,
Nothing to give, nothing to lead
For she spend it to bleed.
Her soul hopes no love to feed.
Turn her mirror to look and to feel,
For she need cure for the wound to heal.

Sadness, a Chance to see What is Happiness

A typical country side sunset in the Philippines

To feel something odd is the best way to see better things in the most better way of looking at it. Though not all people can see such chances in life, for they're pre-occupied by the feelings and emotion. Emotion will never give something more important than a definition of feelings. The tragedy, the sadness, the oddness of things makes a clear view of looking on the opposite side where all of this things never exist.

There is a reason why we all fell in the pit of sadness, defeat and reasons to feel withdrawn in every situation. A reason comes always in two's that either we choose to look at it in the both side or ignore the other side to fully understand the true meaning of such reason. This two reason are the negative and the positive side, but it is actually us who makes a boderline of which is which and what is what in such ideas. We know this kind of "Positve" and "Negative" side as we grow up and define the things in life that is unanswered in our childhood. So it is easy for us to know which is which and what is what in just looking over it.

However as i said, we're pre-occupied by the sense of emotion that is brought by the situation. When we're happy, we manifest happiness, confidence and other kinds of "Positive" attitude that may send us in a better way of living and looking over our life's pathway. Positive growth and development of ones mind can be noticed and can be recognize. But when there is sadness, we're pre-occupied by the reasons and the emotion brought by the sadness.

What if we take this reason, the sadness, as a good chance of looking over the other side in a very optimistic way. For the drawbacks of the sadness will give you nothing but pain within oneself, but to see the other side and the sense of desire to go back there, enthusiastically, and to hold the things that makes ones happiness is the best thing to do.

Don't let the sadness comes to your heart and eat oneself, let it come for us to understand what is self when it lives in sadness and what is the importance if self lived in happiness

On The Other Side

You will never learn to miss a thing without
enduring the meaning on the other way.
Photo taken : Napudot Road, Brgy. Kita-Kita, Balungao

ON THE OTHER SIDE

Let me call for sadness
For I shall know happiness,
Let the bitter come, be harness
For I to recognize sweetness,
Let the pain on my numbness
to let me feel be hopeless,
Let tragedy comes endless
for me to feel indulgeness.
For human will never learn,
the meaning of things we earn,
Not until comes opposite turn,
Meaning be realized in return.

This song is dedicated for the people who do not cares about the things that they have now on their possession. They sometimes or all of the times, disregard the thing that they have, ignore it instead of cherishing it. Things didn't come again and again and the importance of it will be recognized/ be realized in terms when it didn't exists at all.
It is simple thing, it is a simple idea--not all things exist forever, so make use of the time of its existance.

Taking Chances

There are only two options, one take that chance and
explore the possibilities beyond or two run away and have
your own life, nothing change, nothing to happen.

Personal Chances in our decision in Life

Not all things comes randomly, there is a pattern we just didn't know it how it goes. And there are times when this "things" comes to us either it is unexpectedly or unintentional , and that is we called  chances. The chances which can be a turnout in such events of your life, or can change what you expected in the future, or change the way how you think about the things in life. The possibilities are endless beyond that certain chances that pops out in the universe, we can look at that or just leave it there-ignored.

This chances comes in a great reason to throw you back in the line but there are chances that can drive you off that trail. That "Negative" Chances that cross in every human's life makes a fear inside us that can entirely throw us off that path and make us in a place where we are not moving at all, with no direction you're just standing there all day or worst until you die. Fear can be the barrier in having a good life, we are all in great fear of the new things that makes us to be left behind the trails of the others. We're afraid of it knowing that we would be lost in that "New Things" where we can have no direction at all. However such negativism of thoughts will make you idle in one point with no progress as you walk on that trail of yours heading on that direction that you've dreamed of. Fear will break you down and hinders you from the possibilities of doing things better than what you do things right now.

There are a lot of chances, a lot of chances that we missed and lost forever. Some of them comes back, some of them comes again and again, and some of them stays for little time until they're gone. However there is no assurance if such chances will come out again so better grab it when it is hot before it becomes cold and useless. Every Chances have its own consequences but if we look at that consequences rather than the possibility of taking that chances into action, we may found ourself in fear and in boredom of life

Giving Chances to others

Chances didn't come up in the mid-air without anyone placing it right there. There are events that may throw you in the situation in which you will choose if that chances in front of you will be better or worse to your side. As i said, things didn't come randomly- we can understand it in better view using the Chaos Pattern. Anyway, giving chances to the others is optional to your side, you can create a kind of chance to this kind of person or to that kind of person it is upon your consent.

Some of us deprives other people right to be given a chances which makes a border between Psychological aspects in socializing or interacting between two individuals. Either it is cause by fear because we experience such thing in the past or just a fear in nothing (we don't have a clue on the consequences or any idea what will happen aftermath). Whatever the reason is, giving a chance to someone is giving yourself a huge possibilities in life. However, giving a chance is not a simply thing like giving a lolipop or a yellow cab pizza to the poor, we need to be rational in our excuses that define our decision upon that situation. Ask yourself if your decision is rational enough to answer all of your question, if not, then it is not rational according to your idea. Not because you feel bad about it, it makes a firm foundation that you're rational on your decision.

Most of the people dares not to think rationally because it consumes a lot of time, they could have spend it to their pleasures to fulfill their satisfaction. Their mindset are like "Oh i have this feeling, i'm not doing that" feeling is not a good basis of decision. Why? because feeling is not constant (More if you're so irrational in thinking, better not base all the things to feelings), you sometimes feel wrong but you think you're happy, we misjudge our own feelings, how can that be so trustworthy? They sometimes head on giving chances to the wrong person and hoping for the best that their expectations will come to reality. It is the main reason why a person give a chance to a wrong person, because they know what will happen even though it is irrational basis in giving someone a chance.

Chances carry a lot of possibilities, we may have some clue in it but the consequences beyond that are endless (you can choose anything from it) more than our expectations. It is a countless chances that may lead you to another chances that can open another door for you. Life knowing what is the outcome of the effort is a life with no thrill and adventure. We may taking some wrong chances, but please don't make it stop you from taking Chances again, learn from it don't let the fear hinders you.

Life is an endless possibilities you just need to explore and look for the better life that you can say it is "Uniquely yours"

The Real Loss Is To Love Someone More than Yourself

You need an arms to throw away all of the bad luck beneath

If you ever remember or watched that 1996 film of Matt Damon together with Ben Affleck the title may sound very familiar to you. I get that phrase on the movie Good Will Hunting which gives a lot of shit if you listen carefully. When you feel such love, the thing what some of the bookish person i meet refer as "Spark" (I didn't ever feel such thing, except during the summer days--rushing in the fully air-conditioned 7eleven store and accidentally touching your friend's skin) it is the most unexplainable thing and surreal feeling that a man may ever feel. In the point when you feel immobilize, can't move, can't even speak well and your mind seems too numb to think what will you do on that point. Such feeling is unmeasurable, it is like a lightning that strikes you down the sky-it comes so quickly that you didn't have enough time to escape from it either throw it away and hide from it. Such feeling is there when this special person of yours is right there besides you. A person that makes you feel important guy in a movie, a person that makes you feel happy and a person that seems like she is carrying a comforter in which you can rest and be comfortable anytime-anywhere you meet. She is there on the front doors when you feel bad about your family, when the society is against you and when all the things seems falling down you have no where to run, no where to hide and no place to cry like a baby and throw all of your emotions. When you're feeling sick she is there to lend you a hand and to care for you. Such examples make a strong emotional connnection between two people and as the time goes trust will make the foundation even stronger through the winds and storm on the way. To trust someone is the best gift that anyone can give and to receive-it is the best gift for marriage and for having a relationship.
For such a long time of trusting that person, that seems like she is part of yourself. A person that you want to be with at the end of the day and on the next day beside you as you start your another chapter of your life, a girl that you want to spend with you in lifetime. For a long time you feel that you love her more that yourself and she love you as what you love her-you're together for a long time and for a long years you've been on storm together, you get through it and survive in it. And when that person is lost, you can't do nothing but to see her to be taken away by God, the sense of real lost can only be felt if you learn to love someone more than you love yourself. That is the greatest lost of a man-to see someone to be taken away by fate, a simple but deepest thing that he will carry in the rest of his life.

The Real Story

Photo taken: Polytechnic University of the Philippines
-Santo Tomas, Batangas
(c) Jay San Juan
http://www.facebook.com/THEJAYSANJUAN

Movies, Novels, Short Stories and many other literature that carries a plot and lesson to be learn. Entertainment stuck us off boredom and exercise our own mind in constructing our own story, the real story that make this world ones of the most detailed story that you ever read in a paper, watched in theater and hear from your friends. This life are compilation of stories bonded together to make an outstanding timeline. It is wonderful to stand in the center of the crowd knowing that you're being part of their story. The story of their life, to be told or not to be told. Every second there is a agenda, objective to be apply, each subject have its reason, each action is unconsciously well-planned by each mind. However above from this greatness of the reality, we seek to more illusions for we know it is different. I shall tell you this, illusions is the same as the reality does, they walk in the same thread.
Most of us ignores the wonders of the world, because we cheaply see it. But when shall we feel it? when shall we realize it? Human start to stand on their own and ignores the others, human start to be self centered living in the world with a borders in each socialization.
The real story that we seek is on our own. We are the director, the writer and the producer of this story and it is upon us how to make is so wonderful for the next generation to read and to learn from it. If you like the story of what you see, what you hear of and what you feel, then if you like to be like that, be on your own control and hold the pen of your life. Write well, for there is no erasure or cuts in this show, the show of your own life. One mistake will be there, it is soon be the part of the real story of your history. However if you dwell on that mistake for so long, maybe, you'll missed some of the best part of the history.
We have our control in our life, there are some circumstances that we got no control, there are things just pop-out from nowhere but it is upon you how to face it.

Why do Stupidity Never ends

Stupid person are not literally stupid person, it is just a word
to define person who acts like a animal not as humans, therefore
they're stupid on their own nature of being human

Stupid people comes in the world so cheap that most of the people bought it. Intelligent but numb, they come in hundreds and end in thousand. They multiply fast, covering the face of the Earth conquering more than the conqueror can do. Too stupid enough to LOVE someone, too numb to choose the right one- as they say 'same feather pluck together'. However people deviate in time, sprouting out of the poluted Earth making another breed of people, the real human struggling to raise up to survive in the long lost place of the symbol of political lands. They live in less, some of them comes out of shadows and influence few, defeating some of stupidity. However, these great persons comes fast and gone fast and only few learned from them, this stupidity still in great number of population, they will never be vanished until God decided to do so.
They come so fast, as cheap as a pen and useless as a stone. They weight so heavy that makes it hard to carry in hand. The society look for stupid person and instead of eliminating them, they culture these persons into hundreds, improving them, giving another generation of stupidity. New enough to change the world to another place of inhumanly place. Stupidity, this people are cultured and cared while humans are overthrown making their living less and lost forever.
Stupid people can learn, be intelligent, be famous and become great over millions. However, stupid person can't grow a seed, a heart that can define human as a human.
There is only one way to make no border and division, a human must be stupid to survive in stupid poluted land and propagate itself and multiply as well for the Earth tom be human not a bunch of stupid person which is worse that the animal can do

The Society

A Typical set up in a Mall in an ordinary day
in just observing the people around, you can
learn about the society itself, the behavior and
the entire society pattern of a community.

An individual must act in the nature of the society for it is the only idea that dominates in the minds of the people. The nature of the society stands as the foundations to recognize ones to another. However some of that society deviates from the shades of the nature, they live far from the nature, therefore sullen, slipping and fidgeted mind in the community. They are considered as different from the idea recognize by the society. The people are self-help individuals, they improve in their own, live on their own and breath on their own. Some of them grow, some of them sunken below the society who betrayed them, butchered in his ideas, forgotten on his own sense, living below the lives that God intended for a man to live. However above from this person's tragedy, there are divided person/individual who survives and flares in the dim of light opposing and changing the society for better. Some of them stands great, some of them live on their own and accept the flow of the nature in the society, there are person who decide to be like others, forgetting his own nature eaten in the abyss of the society's mind. Great person, stands, influence and take a firm beliefs on his own nature, thus changing the nature of the society in great cost, rejuvinate and hides in the persona, a mask to be recognize by the society, to be accepted and to blend in. They remain as their nature tells them, but they lived in lies for themselves, for they hate their own, abandoning the nature that identifies them in the middle of the society. Hating ones nature is a betrayal of ones identity, betraying the entire self and individuality. Forgetting their own existence, they are the living dead that to be live when remembered. However most of the jumps and change to the nature of the society transforming themselves and killing their own identity, giving in the nature-falling down the abyss. He crumble for her let others destroys their foundations, he let them dominates their idea. He did not fight, he leave the battlefield in fear of losing. He is weak, he is worst than the peole who let the nature of the society be theirs.
Stand on what you believe, fight for your won idea, your own identity

Human Perception

Human perception differs from one another but there is
something in common

Lack of idea interpretation is one of the main concern today. Our perception do the job in analyzing this data from sensation collected using our senses from the information/data/stimuli in our environment.
The interpretation tends to give our mind an option to make decision. However our perception works not so well, the mind will be confused by the option given by the perception. Therefore committing mistakes in a certain situation.
Perception is the logical system that organize the data from the sensation to make conclusion. It can be improved through the process of learning and adopting certain kind of thinking (this is self thought, and self learned stuff, each individual have unique things to learn about--not standard and specific lesson). Human have different capability in their perception, however this isn't one of the thing that can make our perception weak. Human can surpass their own limit through their own desire. That makes and define a individual from an individual; human as human from animal with lower cognitive social intelligence.
The main concern in the perception weakness is the idea/knowledge of the mind (learned by certain individual) that process and makes ones decision. Therefore, the people, the society and the entire community that influence a man can make ones perception weak or strong. Such idea of improving can't  be done if the society itself have its weak foundations in establishing each perception of the individual. Even though, if ones society foundations is weak, there is a tendency that any individual on that community can improved, with ones self-improving capability.
All of the people rely on their community and there are less that can make their own kind of perception and yet relying on the community in the same time. We all do rely, ones proof is the belief of our ancestor in certain idea and knowledge.
Human mind today are literally weak to make decision, the stupidity is epidemic in the people. Well correct me if i'm wrong, Psychology and learning a human behavior didn't need to be so firm to understand, it just need to be you!

Mga Pamahiin ng Pinoy sa New Year

New year celebration in my hometown- Balungao, Pangasinan

Matagal nang naniniwala ang mga Pilipino sa pamahiin, Mas lalo na ang mga matatanda na halos i-checklist na nila ang dapat nilang gawin tuwing sasapit ang bagong taon at sa araw ng bagong taon. Mrami akong naririnig mula sa matatanda sa kanto at sa bahy namin tungkol dito. Aaminin ko na bago pa man ako mabighani sa mga slita ni John Stuart Mill, Sigmund Freud at Albert Einstein (Isali ko kaya ung salita ni Totoy Brown) naniniw ako sa mga pamahiin dahil sa nakakatakot at dahil na rin ito'y pinaniniwalaan ng nakakatanda sa akin.
Kinalimutan ko na ito ng nadiskubre kong parang joke lang ni Juan ang mga ito. Ngayon may-iian akong naalala na ginagawa ko tuwing bgong taon. At ayun gumawa ako ng isang listahan a aking pagkakaintindi sa mga ito.

Mga pamahiin sa bagong taon:
1. Maghanda ng tig-iisang dosenang bilog na prutas sa lamesa
'swerte pasok pera' yan nga ang sabi ng mga insik, nakuha ito ng Pinoy sa mga Tsino. Sabi daw nila na ang biog na prutas ay nagsisimbulo ng pera, maraming pera. At ang isang dosenang bilang nito ay nagsisimbulo sa dalawampungdalwa na buwan ng taon. Ang ibig sabihin, maraming pera sa buong taon, swerte :D
2. Magsuot ng polka-dots sa bisperas at araw ng pasko
tungkol nanaman ito sa pera at malamang alam na alam ito ng karamihan sa atin. Mabenta ang polka-dot na daster sa Divioria at sa Baclaran.
3. Huwag mag-hain ng manok 
Sabi ng tatay ko sumisimbulo ito ng 'isang kahig, isang tuka' sa buhay next year. Basta masarap ang fried chicken.
4. Magsabog ng barya sa loob ng bahay sa bisperas ng pasko.
Alam na na this!
5. Alugin ang bulsa na puno ng barya pagdating ng bagong taon.
6. Huwag itaob ang isda (kung mayroong handang isda) pagnakain na ung (lenght wise) kalahati, malas yun.
Para daw hindi tayo tataob (lulugmok sa kahirapan, either may mamamatay or may mangyayari sa inyo na masama).
7. Gumising ng maaga sa uno at tumalon para tumangkad.
Naalala ko tuloy ung friends ko sa facebook na umaasa sa pamahiin na ito, paano ba naman legal age na siya at kasing laki pa rin siya ng first year high school. Ung iba, tumatalon sa bisperas ng bagong taon, sa panahon ng putukan, kalampagan, putulan ng kamay at daliri at barilan sa labas.
8. Magpaputok para umalis ang bad spirit (pero ung iba nagpapaputok para may maalis sa kanila)
Naalala ko tuloy yug sabi ni Brad Pitt sa Ang Dating Doon. Ung nagpapaputok sa labas para umalis ang bad spirit, asaan ba sila pupunta edi sa tahimik--sa loob ng bahay. Kaya daw ang dapat gawin sa loob ng bahay magpaputok para umalis ang bad spirit.
Ung mga napuputulan ng kamay dahil sa nagpapaputok, normal lang yang at katangahan na din.
9. Bumili ng pampaswerte para hindi malasin.
Alam na siguro ninyo ito lahat, palaging tinatanung iyan at ibinabalit sa TV.
At higit sa lahat-
10. Bawal salubungin ang bagong taon ng tulog
Mamalasin ka buong taon o kaya'y magkakasakit ka.

Hindi masamang maniwala sa mga ganitong bagay pero huwag iasa sa mga pamahiin kung anong mangyayari sayo sa susunod na taon. Maligayang Bagong Taon!

The Life of Death

Life is like a son, and death comes down in sunset
(Balungao, Pangasinan)

Death is like an oath
takes our breath in loath.
Struggles underneath
Walks alone in coat.

We die with a word
Leaving one's a curd
As we pray to lord
With aces of card

As they gone we lost
Take them back in cost
Love not comes in host
Vanished life to boost

I write this poem for everyone, wasting their life to their own sake instead of spending it in worth cost. We can do all things in life before we dies to make ourself contented, however contenment isn't gained from our own desire, the people around you will teach you how to have such life. Sometimes we didn't understand why death comes in someone's life, taking all of our love ones beside us. There is Death to remind us that we're not living forever, we're living in a one shot world that you must to things better in just single life that is given on you. This is not any simple, supermario games that we can have five lives or more to correct our mistakes. The flow is going and accept the fact that you commit mistakes.

Just Smile and carry on

Emman De Torres, ccollege classmate.

I was listening in every piece of thing that makes someone as who they are. I've listened hundred of story that makes sense more than what we saw at them. These story back in their early days is the part of what they look as of today, the person whom you know standing in front of you. It is the process of becoming who they're right now and who will they be after another day. Listening to someone's hurt, life and anything that they say is the most greatest gift and oppurtunity to know  someone. As what i believe, to know someone is to know how they end up to be the person whom you know.

I got this story that i've learned much from it as i think what is the essentials in smiling to someone whom you never know. I asks myself, why it is necessary to smile to people that you just meet on the way to the school as you walk away in the sidewalk. The idea was nonsense if we look on that simple side (you will look like an idiot) but if we look in the deeper sense of it, it is more essential that what you think.

He told me a story once when we're on the way to Batangas State University, in Malvar, Batangas few kilometers south of Manila together with bunch of mates as we seek for our related literature source. It was in the middle of the great traffic when he told me about smiling to the people on the other jeepney. I can't take the logic, i was thinking about it ever since he told me about it, why we have to smile to the other people? so i ask, he simply reply me "It makes me feel better when i talk to someone and find a new friends with them" "I just smile at them, sometimes they smile back but the others just carry on (ignore)"

Then the conclusion runs on my mind, that the essence of smiling on someone is a sign of a great concern, the sense of individualism is eliminated between the borders of each individual in a community. I've just noticed when i walk on the busy street, people walk by and pass in front of you--they just ignore you like you're just part of the rocks on the way creating a huge border. We're millions but it makes no sense why only few people have their concern on everyone, we're worse than a greed. Smiling to someone is making a great bridge that you can walk to make a one community not a society with their own worlds.

Keep on smiling and take no day without making someone happy. Eliminate the borders of Individualism.

The Five People you meet in Heaven-Mitch Albom

I was able to read this on my table with the coffee after i've done reading the famed "Tuesday's with Morrie" that makes a heart felt sense in the minds of the reader. I enjoy reading it because there is a twist in every turn of the pages and carries a lot of load in life lesson much like what Mitch Albom Tuesday's with Morrie.
I'm also proud as a Filipino to include a Filipino character in the end named Tala and setting a World War 2 battlefield over my motherland. The words makes me imagine the location where the scene is taking place.
For the Psychologist as I'am who is still learning and on the process of being a professional someday, you will be not a true Psychologist if you haven't consider reading this kind of books into you lap. Highly recommended for the people who want to understand what the life means to us and why we have to make every second to the fullest.
The story runs with Eddie who is in the process of meeting five person who sets an important role to his life. I assure you that this is one of the books that you must read before you die.

Ayon kay Juan at Pedro- Ang dakilang tauhan ng kalokohan

Kwentuhang Pilipino pati sa jeep kwento lang ng kwento

Sa lahat ng makalumang joke ng Pinoy--kung maaalala pa ng mga taong nakakaalala ng panahong ito (magaling hindi ka pa nakakalimot)--ay sadyang gas-gas na ang pangalang Pedro at Juan bilang tauhan ng mga scenariong mapagtatawanan ng mga Pilipino. Noong kapanahunan pa ng tambalang John Loyd Cruz at Bea Alonzon, naririnig ko ito sa mga lasengong tumatagay sa kainitan ng araw kasabay ang pusang pinulot sa kanto na ginawang pulutan at ang gin na inutang kay Aling Nena. Nakakatawa siya at minsan naisi-share din siya sa mga ka-tropang hindi pa narinig ang kwento tungkol sa bagong istorya ni Juan at Pedro. Kulang na lang ay gawing teleserye and adventures ng dalawang Santong ito na kinikiliti ang malalaking tiyan ng mga lespu sa Police Station. Matagal-tagal na rin na hindi ko narinig ang sumunod na sequel ni Juan at ni Pedro dahil nga sa lumawak ang kaisipan ng mga Pilipino at nag-level up na ang katatawanan. Mula sa santo, patungong sa 'Knock-kncok' mga kasabihang 'wa-connect', 'mga memes' ni Boy Dimples, Totoy Brown ni Totoy Gold na rin, 'Pogi Problems' ni sir RB (FYI: Ramon Bautista, the self proclaimed, BOY NEXT DOOR),'pick-up lines' at ang 'pagbabara' ni Vice ganda na sadyang nakakatuwa sa mga taong open minded.
Ng nawala na sina Pedro at Juan, dumating ang 'knock-knock' na kung saan ilalapat mo ang isang salita na katono ng isang parte ng kanta. At ngayon, buhay pa rin ang sequel nitong walang katapusang scenario sa pintuan, na sa pagkatapos ng kanta eh hindi naman pinapapasok yung ng 'knock-kncok' ng pintuan.
Napunta naman ang mga taong walang pag-asa sa humor sa mga wa-connect na joke na ang hirap abutin dahil sa napakalayo ang distansya sa ating pagkakaintindi. Ito yung mga joke na nakakatawa dahil sa ka-cornihan at hindi mo alam kung bakit ka tumawa, dahil ba sa joke o sa kabobohan ng gumawa nito?
At dahil lumalaki na ang pag-gamit ng pinoy sa mga Social Media (Sobrang exaggerated na halos gusto palaging online para lang makita kung may naglike sa selfie photo) nauso ang memes, isang inedit na picture at pinaglalagyan ng mga akmang salita na may connect sa picture. Ngunit ang ganitong paraan ng pagpapatawa ay single sided lang (naalala ko tuloy si Boy Dimples, yung lalaki na iyon eh may kapansanan pala tapos hindi pa niya alam na yung mga picture niya sa FB eh dumami ng times two times two).
At sa mga nagkakaroon ng problema dahil sa kawalan ng confidence sa pagmumukhang nadisgrasya, dumating na si sir Ramon Bautista na makikilala natin sa katanungang "Bakit hindi ka kras ng Kras mo?". Try mong magtanong sa kanya sa formspring kahit minsan kung gusto mong magbigti dahil ayaw sa iyo ng babaeng iniirog mo. Nakakatawa, mahangin at may sense ang sinasabi.
Sa mga corny, hindi pa rin kumukupas ang pick-up lines na pinauso ni "Boy Pick-Up" (Hindi yung wa-connect na pick-up lines) na hanggang ngayon ginagamit pa ng mga lalaking dumadamobs sa mga babae.
At sa mga high level na katatawanan na hindi applicable sa lahat, ang mga moves ni vice ganda na hindi katuwa-tuwa sa ibang paningin. Ito yung mga joke na may-sense pero sa sobrang taas ng sense eh hindi na kayang intindihin. Tulad halimbawa ng mga pambabarang nakakatawa pero nakakainis,
At dahil sa mga ito nalaos ang mahabang adbintyurs nina Pedro at Juan. Nagpapatunay lang na ang katatawanan ay hindi natin maiwawaksi sa kulturang Pilipino na kahit sa sobrang hirap na ng panahon eh, tawa pa rin ng tawa si Juan kahit nagmumukha na siyang tanga sa tingin ng iba.

Too much HATE will KILL YOU

"The more you hate, the more you love"
A famous quote (most people in the Philippines believes in this quote from unknown person, i don't know in the other country), and i agree on this sayings that the more you hate a person the more you love him. I will explain to you why people hates you, why they do that, and why hates turns to be your biggest enemy rather than that person/idea itself. We will not talk about love literally, but you can still apply this idea if you can relate the situation that i'm going to give you.
First of all, lets talk about why the title ends up "Too much HATE will KILL YOU", well it is too obvious in the phrase itself. It is like what the song say '...too much love will kill you.." (i don't know the title but i like hearing it when i'm sleeping), it is true that all things which comes 'too much' is not good. It is fine to hate someone, however when it reaches the sense of obsession (neurotic sense) it would be a hell of a great problem to be settled by someone or for you. However hating no one is also no good, all things comes in moderation, it would make people think that it is fine for them to do evil things to you because you'll not going to hate them for it.
What is HATE?
Hate is a normal and it is the self defense mechanism of the humans on its IDEA. The goal of this mechanism is to protect the IDEA THAT YOU BELIEVED from other extraneous variables that can affect the your entire IDEA. Most of hates comes from the person who got a huge impact on what you believe, even you didn't accept it or not, your unconsciousness is making it. .
Why people HATE?
People hates someone because they look at them as a threat in achieving their goals, much worse when that guy takes the glory of it instead of you who failed to attain that achievement. Lets take for example, you're in a workplace together with your co-worker and both of you is striving for the position as a Manager. Because your co-worker is a threat in achieving your goal, you'll hate him in that reason.
How can HATE be a person's enemy?
Hate will tear you apart and it will change you slowly without you noticing it that this certain thing that influence, changes you. Too much hate will kill you, if you hate Bruno Mars so much, you will curse all his song once you hear such thing. The more you think about "hating him" the more the sense of remembering that person. The longer you think about it the worse that idea will kill you.

For the people who hates someone pretty bad like they want to smash their heads, tear their legs, and split them a part, it is time for you to stop for a minute and ask yourself why you hate that person too much. If it is not so rational, some sort of: 'I hate them because they're wearing blue', 'i hate them because the way how they talk' 'i hate them because they watch porn'. Well if you think like that, it is time for you to change and understand this people instead. It is not their fault to be like that, the society shapes them, maybe they got reasons why they end up such a person like what you see them. If you hate them because they're dumb*ss as being a clumsy person, well you must understand them because mistakes are not made intentional. Be rational in thinking and makes all the reason be in rightful sense. Remember that it is not just YOU who got reason to be like that and it is not just YOU who is living in this society, we share in the same roof. If you don't want them, well find another group and F*CK OFF, these people didn't need person like you, they need person who can understand them.
For the people who feel being hate, you have to look at yourself also and asks yourself if they hate you because of this certain attitude of your or it is just the sense that you are doing good that makes them think that you are a threat on them. Just remember you hate to think first if someone hates you.

Jeepney Culture

Mga bagay na kapansin-pansin ngunit hindi napapansin ng ibang Pilipino sa pagsakay nila sa pambansang sasakyan ng bansa, ang Jeep (Dyip). Hindi ka tunay na pinoy kung hindi mo nasubukang sumakay sa Jeep, o kung isa ka ngang Pinoy at hindi ka man lang nakaramdam na sumakay sa mala-sardinas na sasakyan na ito ay masasabing isa kang "banyaga sa sariling bayan" (alien na lang kasi kahit mga Kano, Briton, o Aleman eh sumasakay pag naka-tungo na sila dito sa Pinas)
Sa subrang tagal ko na nabubuhay sa Pinas eh, nabobobo na ako sa kapapansin nito sa ating pangmasang sasakyan.
1. una sa lahat ay ang OBLIGASYON natin sa dyip, ang pagpasa ng pamasahe (kung malapit ka sa istribo o dili kaya eh malayo-layo kaunti sa mamang tsuper). Mga kapwa ko Pinoy, hindi po obligasyon ng mga taong malapit kay Tsuper ang pagbigay ng inyong pamasahe. Bayad ninyo iyon at ineestorbo mo ang kapwa mo mananakay malay mo, nag-eemo sa byahe o ine-enjoy ang tanawin sa gilid ng kalsada. Mahiya naman kayo kahit minsan, MAGPA-SALAMAT naman kayo sabay ngiti.
Mali: "Bayad" kuha ng pamasahe tapos bigay kay driver 'snob'
Tama: "Makikiabot nga ng bayad" kuha ng pamasahe "Salamat" 'ngiti'
Nabwibwisit ako sa mga taong parang hindi edukado na sa tingin nila na obligasyon ng katabi niya na i-abot kay driver ang pamasahe.
2. Mga taong nag-aamoy buro na at nanglilimahid na sa amoy, ano ito private car na ikaw lang ang sasakay. May mga tao diyan na todo ang linis ng kanilang katawan para sa interbyu niya tapos ung katabi lang pala ang magsisira ng pinaghirapan niyang paghahanda. Kung may "this seat is reserved for mababaho ang amoy" pwede pa, eh wala naman ganun eh. Kahit papaano naman, maligo kayo, para respeto sa ibang mananakay.
3. Feel at home mga taong naka-sando (tapos hawak pa sa hawakan, nakalantad ang kili-kili, biruin niyo nakakabweset lalo na kung may amoy), naka short (na halos makita na ung singit-singit na may libag) mahiya naman kayo sa mga taong sasakay, baka mapakunot ang noo nila sa napakasagwang imahe sa loob. Hoy, pampublikong sasakyan ito, hindi po ninyo ito bahay na isusuot ang gustong isuot. Magdamit naman kayo ng mga damit na wasto (Hindi naman ung napaka pormal).
4. sa mga babaeng sobra ang paniniwala sa Rejoice, yung mga buhok na nagsisiliparan sa mukha ng katabi na halos kainin na niya na parang spaghetti ang kanyang mahahabang buhok. Ang sakit kaya sa mukha, mas lalo na kung ang tulin ng patakbo ni driver, para kang sinasapak ng tambo sa mukha.
5. Sardinas, yung mga Barker na nagtatawag ng pasahero yung halos puno na kayo at wala ng espasyo sa gilid-gilid tapos nagtatawag pa ng pasahero. Ano ito, pare-pareho tayo ng pwet,minsan sabihin ninyo "kuya, saan ninyo ipapaupo yung ibang pasahero sa taas o sa guong".
May mga bagay na hindi ko na sinali dito sa maliit na listahan na ito, kasi kung iisa-isahin ko pa eh baka magsawa na kayo sa kasasakay ng dyip. Iiilan lang ito sa mga bagay na aking napansin sa aking pagsakay ng dyib.

Friends with Benifits

From left: Philip Capuno, Rigie Viter, Mark John Otordo and Peter Malveda

There are many kinds of friends in this world. However not all friends we know are really our friends, some of them are just part of the society that we  have to interact and talk with to continue our life in a community.
Most of us got less information/knowledge about how we can choose our friends, tips in the internet and from your guidance councilor. As a typical individual in the community, i experience all these things including hate, jealousy and all the matters that comes between each person of the society.
So, i put some simple things (words) for simple person to understand and to apply it on their own way.
This is my LEVEL OF KNOWING ONE'S IDENTITY. Someone told me that true and real friends know each other identities that makes them different from the other group in the society. It isn't the time that you are together as a friend, not even the likes, but your knowledge about this person that makes you feel alright (No sh*t actually).
Discover, the first step in knowing someone is to discover who they really are. This will confirm your idea about this person's identity. And of course you have to talk with him/her to discover things that you wanted to discover (it is on you, if you see a certain person as weird then you have to figure out if he is weird or just genius enough for you not to understand him). This is the first step in knowing someone through talking, observing him/her (if you like to be a stalker then go, just make it more sensible than following her/him alone).
Understand, after discovering who he/she was, if she/he is so religious that their house is full of saints, or just a simple girl and a perfect daughter/son. In this point you have to decide if you want that person to be your friend or just a person to build the society where you're right now. Some people ignore this thing, and just carry on, it is the reason why some of the "friendship" that you know end up in conflict or in great "isolation" to each other, because they really not understand that certain individual. They just jump towards to another step (which is to accept) and carry on ignoring the fact that your unconsciousness didn't like that person at all. You will realize this thing once your friend acted like a strange, like you just met a few hours earlier.
I saw this things from my own classmates, maybe the lack of information about having friends makes their relationship much like in a great chaos of cold war (you didn't know if they will hit your head or not)
Accept, to accept people is the most important thing that you will do in knowing someone's personality. After understanding him, of who he/she really was including her/his dislikes, interest, hobbies and all the weird things that she/he do. Acceptance is the most important thing in friendship. If you didn't accept some part of who he was, then you truly not his/her friend, you are just "somebody that i used to know" kind of stuff. A true friend accept the entire you, not just few of you, because a certain individual is a package it is not some Filipino sari-sari store or installment payments.
lastly, Be friend with that is the last after all those things that you put aside. Real friends is like a family that you can ask for something when you need help and when you feel blue you can ask for a hand to lift your burden.
Be rational in choosing your friends, it will make someone as who they're and who they will be in the future.
