last day of 2009

today is the last day of the year 2009.. and i think today is the best time to reminisce the most memorable moments i had this year.. :)

i know this year was really crazy but really fun.. 

these pictures were from our "Handling Relationship Seminar" last Feb.. it was fun and tiring all at the same time.. with the members of the SPF family.. we also made our backdrop the one behind us.. i was sooooo proud of it!! haha!!

i spend time most in school but i did not forget to come home for special events like the birthday of my loved ones and spending time with my family..

since i spend most of my time in school i also spend some crazy and silly time with my blockmates.. i admit.. even if 2nd year na namin ito.. i still made new friends within our block.. 

this picture was taken last acquaintance partey of our department.. it was fun!! we got to play in the pool and do silly things!!! :D

we are the acoustic group last CHEM.ENG week... too bad we didn't even got a place but it was alright.. performing in front of an audience again was really fun!! :D

these are several photos still form our fun CHEM.ENG week.. it was really fun!!!!

before the semester ended i had the time to spend my 18th birthday with my friends.. :)

and had fun by the end of the semester.. 

and also by the end of the semester i had the time to reunite with old friends.. :)

before this year ended a new semester began and new responsibilities came up.. one very critical subject we have is our new CHEM 28.2 LAB.. we have a very strict prof but still during the 6 hour lab time we still find time to have fun!!

this year was a really fun ride for me.. though many things, crazy things happened i sure did enjoy the ride.. i hope for the year to come will be a better one for me!!

happy new year everyone!!! :)

spirit of christmas

things are a bit tense yesterday in our family reunion.. 

my aunt brought her husband to the reunion

what's the problem with that? her husband recently (and also rumored to be currently) is having an affair with a younger woman.. 

sad diba? and he had the guts to show up after everything ha had done.. 

but my uncle who held a mass yesterday here at our house talked about forgiveness..

and the importance of love in the family..

so sad that our family is almost torn apart.. i mean it is christmas and yet here we are dealing with the "katangahan" of my aunt and the "kakapalan" of her husband.. 

but even though everyone talked about not talking to him, i still payed respect to him by greeting him when he arrived.. not because i have a respect for him as a person but i respect him because he is older than me..

in the mass everyone didn't come to him noong "peace" time na.. only my uncle (the priest) shook his hands.. but he did try to reach out to the other siblings of my mom including my mom of course.. 

it's so sad to think na ganito ang pasko namin dito.. here in our family.. 

spirit of christmas was never there.. for all the christmas we celebrated once lang kami nabuo.. 

pain is something we all deal.. through the years we contain it in our hearts.. 

pain was there when my mom and dad separated but i had to live with it.. and now we are okay the pain is quite gone.. 

new pain come and go but it is up to us when we will let it go and when we want to let it stay.. 

pain is a very terrible feeling.. 

it drives people to do bad things and also hurt other people especially the ones they love..

the spirit of christmas is all about joy and love..

i hope and i pray that someday that one christmas full of love and joy will come in our family.. 

merry christmas!!!

this is my first post on the month of December.. and i hope this wouldn't be the last...
December 16 was the start of the Simbang Gabi and since then until yesterday Dec. 24 i wake up every 4 am and go to church.. 9 mornings.. and in that 9 mornings i have learned 9 important lessons and values in life that i hope will also help other people out there (if there are people who are reading my blog) in their lives..

DAY 1 Dec. 16

JOY

there are a lot of problems here in our country today.. but not only in our country but also in our individual families.. but Christmas is the time of JOY.. being happy.. this teaches us that despite of our day to day problems we are bound to still be happy no matter what.. we sometimes dwell on our problems and then we worry too much..
for me.. it's the little things in life that makes me happy..
when i see cute little puppies running around at the doorstep of my room in our boarding house.. seeing so many stars in the sky.. it reminds me how much God loves us and He lets us see the beautiful things he has given to us.. and yet because of the many problems that we have we don't see it and appreciate it.. there are so many reasons to be happy and yet we refuse to see it.. this season and the next year to come i hope people will see their blessings and be happy with it.. there are so many reasons to be happy and i hope we will not be blinded by our worries and problems.. :)

DAY 2. Dec. 17

THANKSGIVING

this is connected with JOY.. we always complain on the things that are lacking in our lives.. we don't even see the blessing we receive.. and that is what i am seeing in us Filipinos.. we always complain on corruption, poverty, some even say na "kinakahiya nila maging Pilipino".. so sad.. we always see the negative in things.. some commit suicide thinking that their life is useless and no point at all.. what we don't see is every waking hour of our lives we are truly blessed.. we do not see the good in every situation that is why we always complain.. many of us are very lazy walking, waking up in the morning but there are also many who has no feet and is stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of their existence.. some say that their life is useless and yet many people are using oxygen tanks and fighting for their lives.. we should not just be thankful because we have a life.. that we can walk, eat, talk and breathe. but we should also be thankful because even though sometimes we are not worthy to be blessed, we are still given with so many blessings.. think about it.. there are many less fortunate people in the world.. and you are not one of them.. it is one thing you should be thankful for.

DAY 3. Dec 18

COMPASSION

Compassion is a human emotion prompted by the pain of others. More vigorous than empathy, the feeling commonly gives rise to an active desire to alleviate another's suffering.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compassion)
compassion is one thing i believe most of us do not possess..
One of the clearest examples of compassion is Mother Theresa. As she cared for the poor and sick in the leper colonies of Calcutta, India, someone once told her "I wouldn't touch those leper for one million dollars. Her reply was, neither would I." She spent her life serving the rejects of society. She was truly a person of compassion.
(http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_some_examples_of_compassion)
but in this season of giving many try to exercise this.. we should always have the compassion for the people who are suffering because they need us and our support.. people who are sick (emotionally or physically) needs someone to take care of them.. needs someone who will encourage them to live better lives and their life is worth living.. in this season of giving and loving let us share our love to those people who badly need it..

DAY 4. Dec 19

ENCOURAGE OTHERS

now it's election time.. and i know many politicians are competing against each other.. but today we should all start not pulling other people down.. we are all not perfect.. and yet we take other people's weaknesses to pull them down.. one thing that is very important this season is whenever someone is down or experiences failures we should not take that against them. we should always encourage them to do better and we should always believe in what other people can do.. let us not look at their bad side.. as what many people would say we all have the good side and we should enhance it.. people experiencing failures and downfalls need help and encouragement like what our God does.. He encourages us to be good people and follow what is right.. if you know someone who is experiencing failures and trials, encourage them to move on and do better.. because we should help people see the good side of things and not the bad..

DAY 5. Dec 20

Faith

sometimes we all lack faith in the Lord.. we all lack faith in ourselves.. this season let our faith be stronger and with our faith we can see what God wants us to see.. :)

DAY 6. Dec 21

VALUE OTHER PEOPLE

this is sometimes we forget to do.. we forget to value the people who are helping us and accompany us in our everyday lives.. my aunt every 25th of December she organizes a party for all the people in her household.. the maids, he assistant at work.. not just for the helpers but also for their families.. which is really very nice.. it taught me to value the people (no matter what is their position in your life) who are with us everyday.. we should not forget that not because they work for us we do not have to thank them for the things they have done for us.. we should not just give value for our family but also we should give value to the people who touched our lives in their own little way.. that is why my mom would always buy them presents too.. because when they know that even if they are just "helpers" they are also valued.. :)

DAY 7. Dec 22

HUMULITY

Jesus Christ was born in the manger.. and it symbolizes that He is humble.. we should not be a "show-off" because if everybody in the world isn't humble what do you think the world would look like? terrible isn't it? the importance of humility is sometimes not seen most especially when one holds power or position in our society.. but being humble defines who we are and what we are made of.. as i was growing up there were times that i forgot to be humble but i was raised not to boast a lot and not to step on other people.. when we are wrong we should always admit our mistakes.. PRIDE would not take us anywhere.. it could destroy us and our relationship with other people..

DAY 8. Dec 23

RECONCILIATION

we all should reconcile.. we should repent.. it is always not too late!! :)

DAY 9 Dec 24

HOPE

in these times of trouble we should never lose hope.. we should have strong faith in God and we should never give up.. this season, the birth of Jesus gives us Hope that we are all going to be saved.. we just have to have faith in Him





in this season of love and sharing may we all fill Jesus in our hearts and let us not forget the true essence of this celebration..
Merry Christmas y'all!!! :)

another issue on politics..

yesterday i voiced out my opinion on Sen. Aquino's candidacy on facebook..

then just this afternoon, someone sent me this message..

his profile name was Arch MiGz

and his message was like this:

REASONS WHY WE SHOULD VOTE AND SUPPORT NOYNOY C. AQUINO:

It’s almost two decades now since I started to exercise my constitutional right of suffrage. Seventeen years of disappointments about how politics had and has been jeopardizing the nation and its people. Election after election, politics in the Philippines even become dirtier and implausible, surrounded with politicians who are either too power greedy to leave or too old to realize they are no longer capable. I was still young when Benigno Aquino Sr. was assassinated, yet his death was the best political event I could ever call to mind, because that gave the country its genuine independence and freedom though short-lived and temporary.

As the national elections crawls closer , we see loads of traditional politicians doing what they are most excellent at : sticking posters all over even if the campaign period is still months away, seeing them on television, hearing them over the radios, and they become very unusually visible and generous. They come into view like angels and saints more than willing to dedicate their life for the welfare of the country and the Filipino people. If you listen at their speeches, you would certainly be fascinated about how clever and intelligent they seem to be. But leave no stones unturned, behind these masquerades are politicians who destroyed our country and the destiny of every Filipino.

It is high time to change the culture of politics in our land. We have tried the most intelligent president during the Marcos regime but we suffered much of his dictatorship. We attempted a West Pointer but not very creditable. Out of despair, we even tried a mediocre leader but turn out dreadfully helpless. But our resilience as a people gives us the conviction that soon we could find the best leader to transform our country into a better place to live. I still believe one person could bring about the much needed CHANGE. He may not be the most intelligent amongst the aspirants, but surely a smart man to lead a country that believes ‘NOTHING IS TOO LATE’ for a genuine change. Consider these reasons why Filipinos should vote BENIGNO SIMEON "noynoy" C. AQUINO III for President.

1. INCORRUPTIBLE. His father’s legacy of faith and love for the Philippines is the noblest that I have known for after Jose Rizal. Ninoy Aquino Sr. was so valiant to defeat dictatorship and so he exchanged his life to bring about freedom and democracy to the nation. Cory Aquino, whose political life continued the cause of Ninoy, was the only Philippine president who was never involved in corruption and indignity. Two great leaders of the country, and a son, the record as a congressman and as a senator is never blemished with colors of dishonesty and abuse of power.

2. NO TRAPO. Unlike other politicians, Noynoy’s candidacy is a call not for his selfish interest but for the people who believe in him. His political conduct is non-traditional and his vision is not personal. Drop the trapos and vote the candidates with proper character and dedication to public service.

3. GOD FEARING. One who fears in the Lord, fears to sin. Noynoy is not perfect, and definitely no one is. But his family’s devotion to faith is not superficial. His mother Cory Aquino was a very devoted Marian and so his siblings. I believe, their being truly religious is synonymous to honest governance.


4. SON OF DEMOCRACY. Noynoy would certainly not put his father’s death to oblivion. Being a son of two politicians who fought for the country’s freedom and independence, Noynoy carries the blood of the genuine Filipino heroes. His reluctance at the start to run for the president indicates that he is not hungry for power.

5. WELL EDUCATED. Noynoy has the right brain cells to govern and lead. He’s not overly clever and most importantly not stupid. We don’t necessitate a very bright president, we just need a leader who knows how to look, listen, and act what this country wants. We already suffer the extremes of a very intelligent one, and we suffer more to a brainless actor.

6. NOT A GAMBLER. Benigno Aquino Jr. is not a Casino aficionado. His principle does not buy the idea of taking chances. By that alone, he would not surely put the country in a lottery.

7. NO BENEFACTORS TO PROTECT. Politicians do patronized big companies for monetary reasons. During the campaign period, traditional politicians would always beg support from massive business enterprises for financial sustenance, and gratitude dictates favors after. Noynoy has been very outspoken to say that he does not have the necessary financial capability to run a campaign and neither would he give in to asking from anyone than the candid support of the ordinary Filipino citizen.

8. MORAL APTITUDE. Noynoy is obviously a very good son and a brother to his sisters. He has never been accused of moral indecency, Noynoy’s personality conveys a message of reformation to many politicians whose moral conduct and unsuitability remain contentious.

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES, PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR FRIENDS...

and here is my Reply:

you said that:

Benigno Aquino Sr. was assassinated, yet his death

was the best political event I could ever call to

mind, because that gave the country its genuine

independence and freedom though short-lived and

temporary.

- okay.. i will not argue with it.. i wans't still

born when this happened.. but i do believe in

Ninoy's advocacy.. and it really touched me and i am

truly embracing it..

but let us start with the simple yet heavy statement

you said:

As the national elections crawls closer , we see

loads of traditional politicians doing what they are

most excellent at : sticking posters all over even

if the campaign period is still months away, seeing

them on television, hearing them over the radios,

and they become very unusually visible and generous.

They come into view like angels and saints more than

willing to dedicate their life for the welfare of

the country and the Filipino people. If you listen

at their speeches, you would certainly be fascinated

about how clever and intelligent they seem to be.

But leave no stones unturned, behind these

masquerades are politicians who destroyed our

country and the destiny of every Filipino.

- now why did i say it was simple? Simply because

every Filipino says this.. and may i emphasize what

you said that:

behind these masquerades are politicians who

destroyed our country and the destiny of every

Filipino.

- okay.. so who destroyed the Filipinos?

Politicians? and who put these Politicians in their

places right now? Filipinos right? not Americans, no

one else but US. so? Filipinos are

"self-destructing"? if you would say na nandaya lang

sila, but who made it possible? who has the last

decision kung papayagan sila mandaya, diba Pinoy

din? the thing here is we blame everything.. as in

EVEVRYTHING to the government, politicians etc.. we

don't even look at ourselves on how we feel for our

"dying" country.. i am not pro administration nor am

i against it.. i am just saying that when we have

laws, we should respect it.. and the ones who made

it.. because in making a law, WE matter A LOT.. my

point here is.. we have laws then we ignore it..

like we don't have any integrity at all.. some still

steal, commit fraud, and kanino natin ginagawa ito?

sa kapwa Pilipino pa.. nandadaya tayo, sila...

pinapayagan natin na dayain nila tayo.. alam mo kung

anong kulang? LOVE.. yun ang kulang sa atin mga

Pinoy.. sa pagboto ko kay Nonoy, mahal ko na yung

bansa? kung di ko siya iboboto? di ko na mahal ang

bansa? ano bang klaseng logic yan.. but i'm not

saying that you said that.. para lang kasi sa mga

sites that supports Noynoy, parang ganun yung ibig

sabihin..

you said that:

I still believe one person could bring about the

much needed CHANGE.

-and this is Noynoy right? now, i will tell you

this again, the person who could bring about the

much needed CHANGE, is you.. and me.. and the

Filipino people.. not by just voting the right

president (which is for you is Noynoy),.. but loving

our country.. and loving being a Filipino..

respecting other Filipino's rights and the laws..

you gave me several reasons why i shoud vote for

Noynoy.. Sen. Aquino.. but here are my questions:

1. Why Noynoy? because of his parents' legacy?

because he has been a good person? because he passed

many bills that became laws for the good of the

country? i know i haven't heard his achievements or

things that he had done for our country.. but that

doesn't mean that he didn't do anything.. right? but

is it right to judge a person by where he came from?

and not by what he can do? maniniwala na sana ako

kay Noynoy kung hindi bukang-bibig ng mga tao na

iboboto siya dahil anak siya ni Cory, anak siya ni

Ninoy, like what one of your reasons stated.. and it

is very sad na yun ang naka-input sa mga tao.. hindi

dahil iboto natin siya kasi ang dami niyang nagawa

para sa bayan.. that would sound reasonable and

good.. siguro i would consider voting him kung

ganung mga reasons ang binigay mo..

2. so what if he is INCORRUPTIBLE? so what if a

President is INCORRUPTIBLE? remember, na, hindi lang

siya ang namumuno sa bansa.. he may have the

greatest power but he can never dictate what other

politicians will do.. so ano? pagpapatayin niya

lahat ng maging corrupt? because for me, an

INCORRUPTIBLE president is not enough to change our

country.. kahit nga sa mga small ways natin we are

corrupt.. di lang natin alam kasi what we consider

people who are corrupt are the people in a

position..

3. what is corruption anyway? well being corrupt is,

being dishonest, lacking integrity, a person who

acts on mercenary motives, without regard to honor,

right, or justice. so, aren't we guilty of being

corrupt in any way? in any small way?

4. does it mean that when he is incorruptible,

people under him will also be incorruptible? think

about that.. like what i said earlier he is not the

only one running the country. we too are running the

country.. along with other politicians..

bottomline is.. i am not against Noynoy's

candidacy.. nor the people who are supporting him..

i just want the Filipinos to respect each other and

love the country not just by voting someone who we

think is deserving.. we will vote not just because

iaasa natin lahat ng pagbabago na kailangan mangyari

sa magiging presidente natin.. we will vote kasi

TAYO MISMO ang magsisimula ng pagbabago.. WE WILL

MAKE THE CHANGE POSSIBLE BY LOVING OUR COUNTRY MORE

and leave all the hate aside.. let us continue to

pray for our country and the people whoare greatly

affected by this coming elections.. people have

suffered a lot because of lack of love for

themselves and for the country.. some have also full

of love for themselves leaving the country with

none.. we all need to help each other for CHANGE..

we all need to see what we can do for our country,

not just by voting right but by loving it and

embracing it and being proud that we are Filipinos..

we live for ourselves.. meaning we Filipinos live

for this country that is why to make change possible

we have to help each other.. to those who are

running this elections, instead of fighting over the

power let us be united.. Filipinos were never

united.. i do believe in that.. because if we were

we will never be here in our situation right now..

maybe some people will disagree with my points but

that is what democracy is.. democracy is when we

respect each other and live in this country

respecting the laws and also the government it has..

along with this post is a video essay by a Korean about the Philippines.. i hope this will be an eye opener for everyone..

decisions

there a things in life in which we always have to make..

DECISIONS..

it may be right or wrong..

but only us will know what it is..

this is a message for a friend.. a good friend of mine..

she made wrong decisions in her life.. we all do.. and i am thinking that her decisions nowadays are maybe quite wrong for me and maybe quite good for her..

Decisions are made for the better of the situation or maybe for the worst..

but what we have to think of when making these decisions are the people who are going to be affected by it..

i made my own mistakes and i paid for it and swore never to make it again.. but sometimes we all tend to be tempted to make the same mistake again..

because we are only humans.. people who makes mistakes and does the wrong decisions in life..

we are bound to learn from our own mistakes and pains..

to my friend:

i don't like how he hurts you and how you take all the responsibility for his bad attitude towards you..

you have sacrificed some things for him and you do things which he should be the one doing..

i always thought that your decision in being in that kind of relationship is bad for you..

i am your friend, and i want you to be happy..

i know you are truly happy being with him..

but think of yourself..

i just hope your decision being with him (again) is the right decision.. :(

i am just so sad..

:(

lastly, if ever the time will come you will realize what is really best for you, i will still be here.. needed or not..

feedbacks!!

well.. i am so shocked to get feedbacks from people about i have written yesterday.. so here are my replies and arguments.. from what they have told me..

thanks au sa imong productive comment tahar.. pero kini arguments ra ni nako and opinions.. registered voter na ba ka? well let's start off..

you said:
**Gibo Teodoro is pro administration, therefore he is pro Gloria.He's pro Gloria so he is pro CHACHA. If he gets the win, he'll pursue CHACHA and we'll go back fighting to defend our constitution.
- we have this constitution for many years now.. i am not against CHACHA.. it is good.. but it also needs good leaders to handle it.. i am also not against Gloria but i am not also a supporter of hers.. pero what we see in every president is all about the "cons".. admit it.. kahit sinong president was never good enough for the Filipino people..like Cory.. madami ngang may gusto sa kanya pero madaming leftist during her reign.. and have you heard about the Mendiola Massacre? horrible.. the case was dismissed leaving many families suffering and orphans alone.. Maraming hindi gusto si Marcos because what we all focus on seeing is Martial law.. true many were dead many suffered.. but Marcos was a good president.. there came a point in his reign na umunlad din ang bansa.. that is because he was smart.. but pati ang mga bata kapag tinanong mo Martial Law agad.. negative na agad.. so my point is CHACHA is not a bad thing.. if only the leaders who will handle it ay hindi gagamitin ito to gain POWER. so if your saying that Gibo will use it for power, sino namang hindi? Si Noynoy na yun? Si Villar? that assumptions wala pa akong nakitang basis. so i will not argue more on this issue.. what i am saying is di naman dapat nating iconsider ang CHACHA as a bad thing just because it was suggested by "bad" leaders.. and i think they cannot change the constitution without the consent of the people..

**we need a change in the leaders, not a change in the system.
- leaders? we have changed leaders so many years.. system the same, but leaders? still the same.. iba lang yung tao pero ang bansa ganun pa rin.. i am not saying that Gibo can make a difference.. but the real people who can make a difference is US. by voting right..by voting Noynoy? is it really the right thing? by voting Gibo? i am not even sure if it's the right thing to do but i feel and i think that kahit di siya manalo and even if maraming aangal that i will consider voting for him, he will make a good president. but what should change is US.

**And in worse cases, if Gibo wins, there is an extremely high probability that Gloria will be selected as prime minister. Should we do the same mistake all over again?!
- what about Estrada? many have seem to really like him back to be our president.. pag nanalo si estrada masasabi kong tanga talaga ang mga Pinoy.. marami ngang nag vote kay Gloria to be the president before.. ngayon puro lang tayo regrets di natin alam kasalanan lahat natin yun.. kasi we put her there.. about the dayaan issue.. i believe marami pa rin ang nag vote kay Gloria last 2004 elections.. so aren't we making the same mistakes every election? we are.. every election na lang lagi nating sinasabi na sa susunod na election babawi tayo, buboto na tayo ng tama. ilang election na ang nagdaan.. pero ganito pa rin tayo.. sinisisi lahat sa binoto natin.. nagsisisi dahil binoto natin sila.. how can we be sure that Voting for Noynoy or Gibo or Vilar will not be a mistake? when before we were so sure that Estrada will make a good president..

**And i think it's not when a candidate seeks position that we should look at, instead it's his desires, and plans for the country that should be better understood.
- yeah right.. Noynoy is the lesser evil among these candidates.. but think about it.. those who are running now planned everything ahead.. their platforms, their campaigns.. pinaghandaan na lahat.. and i will always think na "sunod sa uso" lang ang candidacy niya.. and i think na pressure lang siya sa lahat ng nag eexpect sa kanya na tumakbo.. eh kung ang buong pilipinas ba naman ang nag.eexpect sau di ka ba naman ma overwhelmed at ma pressure.. i just didn't like the idea na "over" ang pagbibigay ng attention sa kanila dahil sa pagkamatay ni Pres.Cory.. i mean she died a peaceful death diba dapat peaceful din ang mga tao? pero hindi.. ang dami dami nilang pinag.gagagawa.. pati si Kris Aquino ineexpect na mag politics.. see? i respect the late Pres.Cory and gusto ko talaga ang Advocacy nila ni Ninoy.. i believed that if Ninoy lived he will make a great president.. but all i think is it is a little too early for Noynoy.. yun lang..

**Noynoy is not rich, in fact he lives a simple life. So he is not "gahaman sa pera at kayamanan".In fact, he has the lowest income among his siblings. I think he has the less tendency to get corrupt.
- being not rich is not a criteria for not corrupt presidents.. he lived a simple life? okay fine if he did.. Manny Villar lived a simple life when he was young.. they were poor. but why isn't he fit for the job? i am not saying that Noynoy will have a tendency to be corrupt.. lahat naman siguro tayo maaakit sa power na makukuha natin if we are president. ang mga former presidents natin also fought the desire to be more powerful.. mayayaman na sila.. but they are just humans who get attracted by the thought of having great power.. diba? mayaman naman sina Gloria, Cory, Marcos.. pero naakit lang sila kasi being a president you get to have power over your people.. and hindi dahil mayaman ka na or simple lang yung life mo hindi ka na magiging corrupt.. every president have to fight that desire for MORE POWER.. kaya weak argument kung sasabihin mong Nonoy lived a simple life kaya hindi siya magiging corrupt..

**Noynoy is an Aquino, son of Ninoy and Cory. We all know that Ninoy and Cory are people of democracy. May pinangangalagaan siyang pangalan, hindi niya pwedeng basta basta na lang sirain yun. Noynoy protects democracy as much as his parents do.
- Noynoy and Gibo are Relatives since Cojuanco din si Gibo.. so would that count silang dalawa connected kay Cory and Ninoy? people are putting too much pressure on Ninoy.. as in TOO MUCH.. kaya nga nakakatakot kung ako si Noynoy matatakot ako sa grabe ng pressure na binibigay ng mga tao.. kawawa ni Noynoy.. i know that originally he did not want to run.. pero siguro dahil sa daming nag pupush sakanya ayun, nakumbinsi din siya.. but i hope let us not put pressure on him.. come on.. kamamatay pa lang ng nanay niya.. pagkamatay ni Cory pulitika na kaagad ang binato kay Noynoy.. sana di siya ma pressure masyado kapag siya na ang nanalong president..


final argument..
i am not saying that Noynoy would not make a good president.. kulang pa ang na prove niya na worth sa mga tao.. why? kasi ivovote lang siya ng mga tao dahil yun nga.. "sunod sa uso" at dahil under siya sa lahat ng mga ginawa ng Parents niya para sa bayan.. maraming nagsasabi na ivote natin si Noynoy kasi nanay at tatay niya si Cory at Ninoy.. mas maganda pakinggan kung ivote natin si Noynoy kasi ang galing niya.. ang dami niyang ginawa.. we would vote for him kasi and dami niyang napasa na bills for the betterment of the country.. pero hindi eh.. we are believing that he deserves it because he will continue the advocacy of his parents.. i know he has been brought up well.. sigurado yun.. but if sa karamihan they would believe in him.. well i also respect that. nag argue lang ako sa side ko why i won't vote for him..
for Gibo.. reasons why i will vote for him? i don't have reasons like he is fit for the job.. nobody is fit for this job.. people say that they will not vote for Gibo kasi admin siya. kasi he is smart baka matulad siya kay Gloria or kay Marcos.. he will pursue CHACHA.. but let us all remember that hindi ma chachange ang constitution without the consent of the people.. we all want our country to be a better place.. but still we are not doing our part... kahit gano pa kadakila ang presidente kahit gano pa karami ang gawin niyang reporma, if tayo mismo hindi magbabago, walang kwenta ng lahat. i will consider voting for Gibo for only one reason.. we don't need Good people to lead us.. there are no good people... only lesser evils.. i do believe that Noynoy is lesser evil.. and i think Gibo may not be the "lesser evil" type.. but we i think we need a president who is well prepared and who has planned ahead.. gaya ng advertisement niya tungkol sa preparation for disasters.. siguro kung lahat nanood nun at inalala yun, walang namatay sa bagyo..
:)

i am happy that marami pa lang active in today's election.. lets us all fight for our right..

campaign for election starts

last registration day will be tomorrow.. and i am so glad i was registered last week.. now that i am a official voter, i would want to make my vote worth.. now i am researching the profiles of those people who are running for a high position.. and here they are..

Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Cojuangco Aquino III (born February 8, 1960) is a Senator for the Philippines and a candidate for President of the Philippines in the 2010 election, intending to represent the Liberal Party. He is the only son of former President Corazon Aquino and Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr.

A graduate of Ateneo de Manila University, he was seriously wounded by rebel soldiers in a failed coup attempt during his mother's presidency. In 1998, he was elected to the House of Representatives as Representative of the 2nd district of Tarlac province in the 11th Congress of the Philippines; he was reelected twice, eventually becoming Deputy Speaker. In 2007, he was elected to the Senate of the 14th Congress of the Philippines.

Aquino is a leading member of the Liberal Party. He currently holds the position of Vice Chairman of the Liberal Party, having assumed the post on 17 March 2006. He was previously Secretary General of the party (1999-2002), Vice-President of the Luzon Liberal Party (2002-2004), and Secretary General of the party (2004-16 March 2006).

Aquino is associated with a faction of the Liberal Party which opposes the government of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, citing alleged human rights violations.

He was born to a simple family in Moriones, Tondo, Manila. His father, Manuel Montalban Villar, Sr., a government employee, hailed from Cabatuan, Iloilo and his mother Curita Bamba, a seafood dealer, came from Pampanga and Bataan. Manny is the second child in a brood of nine. At a very young age, he was already helping his mother sell shrimp and fish in the Divisoria Market. With the burning desire for a better future and a strong determination to improve his family’s living conditions, Manny worked hard in selling shrimps and fish to be able to send himself to school.

Manny Villar was a working student at the University of the Philippines, the premier institution of higher learning in the country, where he obtained his undergraduate and master’s degree in business administration and accountancy. By then, he was also putting in long hours as a fish and shrimp trader, where the action starts at the ungodly hours of the morning when the catch lands in the market.

After graduation, he tried his hand as an accountant at the country’s biggest accounting firm, Sycip Gorres Velayo & Co. (SGV & Co). He resigned shortly though to venture on his own seafood delivery business.

In a stunning political debut in 1992, Villar won with the most overwhelming mandate among congressmen in Metro Manila. He promptly applied his economic and managerial expertise as a key member of the House’s economic team, marshalling in economic reform measures of the Ramos Administration such as the New Foreign Investments Act and the restructuring of the Central Bank of the Philippines. He was the House representative in the government’s negotiations with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington D.C. in 1992.

In the national elections held last May 14, 2001, despite being a relative newcomer in national politics, Manny Villar posted one of the most impressive showings in the national polls. On his first day in office, he filed 204 bills covering a comprehensive legislative program of action— the first among neophyte senators and the third highest filer among the senators of the 12th Congress of the Philippines.

After being elected by his colleagues, he assumed the position of Senate President Pro-Tempore, the second to the highest post in the higher Chamber of Congress. He is presently the Chairman of the Committee on Finance that is in charge of all deliberations and discussions on the national budget of the country and the Committee on Public Order and Illegal Drugs. He is also the Vice Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations and Committee on Agriculture. He authored 44 laws during the 12th Congress, among them are: RA 9178 Barangay Micro Business Enterprises Act, RA 9189 Overseas Absentee Voting Act, RA 9208 Anti-Trafficking of Persons Act, RA 9257 An Act Granting Additional Benefits and Privileges to Senior Citizens, and RA 9262 Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act. He has filed Bills aimed at providing business opportunities for the people and improving the Filipinos’ quality of life through basic health care, decent shelters, responsive social services, and high quality education.

Gilberto Cojuangco Teodoro Jr. also known as Gilbert Teodoro, is the youngest Secretary to hold the Defense portfolio at the age of 43, when he assumed the post in August 2007. As head of the Department of National Defense, Secretary Teodoro is keen on ably pursuing Philippine defense reforms and is determined to make the defense and military establishment truly responsive to the needs and aspirations of the Filipino people.

Before he became the Secretary of National Defense, he was Congressman of the First District of Tarlac for three (3) consecutive terms starting 1998. At the House, he assumed the position of Assistant Majority Leader (11th Congress) and Head of the Nationalist People’s Coalition House members. He was also a member of the House contingent to the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council.
Even with his hands full, Secretary Teodoro successfully completed his Bachelor of Science in Commerce, Major in Financial Institutions at the De La Salle University in 1984. Since then, he focused his sights on acquiring for himself further education and knowledge to aid him in his desire to pursuepublic service . In 1989, he completed his Law studies at the University of the Philippines where he was awarded the Dean’s Medal for Academic Excellence. In the same year, he topped thePhilippine Bar exams.

For seven years, he honed his skills as a lawyer in the famed EP Mendoza Law firm. Armed with years of experience, he went to the Harvard Law School in Cambridge for his Master of Laws and completed it in 1997. He was also admitted to the State Bar of New York during the same year.

*** these are the 3 "matunog" who are running for presidency.. i have said before that i will never vote Manny Villar.. and my stand is still the same.. though he has a very impressive profile, we all know that those are only the good things about a candidate.. now there is Noynoy Aquino.. i always thought of his candidacy as "sunod sa uso" everyone's just expecting him to run and fortunately they have pushed him to run.. and with all the drama of bringing back our democracy, freedom.. though i believe he is the one candidate who is not hungry for power.. which is very impressive.. but i think and this is only my opinion, he is not ready to be the next president.. his candidacy was fully "pinilit"..
lastly Gibo Teodoro has a nice profile too.. and my friend Rod influenced me to think about putting my vote on him.. and i am thinking about it.. really.. :)

always not good enough

i saw all of my grades..
the subjects i expected to have a good grade turned out to be the exact opposite.. i aimed to have good grades this sem.. i tried to study ahead and make sure i didn't have a failing exam.. but what i got in return was something i think i don't deserve.. the last 2 semesters i didn't study that well and i had failing exams.. but i had good grades still.. bakit yata baliktad? what would that suppose to mean? now i am feeling that i am not good enough.. all the time.. i was always not good enough.. DAMN!! what did i do wrong?! in all aspects of my life when i try hard, really hard i am always not enough.. not good enough.. not good enough at school, as home, as a person, or even i think as a friend.

i think for some people even if how much you give everything you are still not good enough.. i feel bad about my best friend.. what happened to her after she gave everything to the guy she loves.. cheesy huh? sad but true.. people judge you by the past mistakes you make.. by the wrong decisions you made from the past.. PAST IS PAST as everyone would say.. how much you would want to leave the past behind people will just let it dwell it to you.. by judging you by leaving you because you messed up..

people are just born to be self-righteous.. i hate them.. i hate people..

and we are? aliens.. i hope.. aliens who do make mistakes.. aliens who after being so down picks themselves up.. aliens who are not self righteous and who are considerate to other aliens who make similar or even a whole different mistakes in their lives..

i hate people.. they are just people yet they love to play God..

:(

fireworks..

i am watching the fireworks display on the sky from my window.. i can't see it clearly since may nakaharang na bubong galing sa bahay ng kapitbahay namin.. i always dreamed of taking picture of fireworks..

fireworks amaze me so much..
just like how life amaze me..
life and death..
two different things.. opposite things.. some love life.. but some like death..
how ironic.. they like death..
like this crazy guy who jumped off a 7 story building..
why do some hate life?
they say it is so unfair.. unjust.. etc..
what is my stand about life?
life is like a 15min fireworks display..
when it's over, it's over.. the sky will turn dark again..


i wonder how my life will be over..

how will i die?

what is the feeling of dying?

usually in a fireworks display the last "firework" is the best of them all..

what would be my last firework?

i always wonder..

:/

He has classes until 6 so i get to borrow it nd use it all by myself..

i had an appointment suppose to be at 1:30 right after my math class to someone who would like to rent my laptop for 2 days for 400 pesos.. siyempre pumayag naman ako.. because right now i am really broke.. but pag labas ko sa CSM ang lakas ng ulan!!!! i was pissed so much since i was in a hurry.. naisip ko, sayang naman ang pera.. at yun! nabadtirp na akong talaga..


anyway buti na lang, nakita ko din sila (yung magrerent at may pera na ako! yehey)


buti na lang tumigil ang ulan..
i would really hate that person na nakawala ng payong ko kung naging bato ang pera ko..


buti na lang at may swerte pa rin pala sa mundong ito.. :) hays..


nakakinis isipin na bagsak na naman sa math si Andrey.. bakit? terror lang talaga mag check yung prof nila... malas talaga...

di kasi siya masyadong swerte..

di rin naman ako swerte pero yung mas ok na lang yung teacher namin na mabait..
kahit konti lang ang answer ko noong prelims ay pinasa pa rin niya ako..

different versions

NOBODY fever is still in the air.. many have tried to copy it... i mean really tried hard.. i found some videos and try to see for yourself what was the worst of them all..



this is the original version of the song.. it's not the official music video but it is still the wonder girls :)


they said this version was the worst of them all.. i got this from youtube and i proved that gaya-gaya talaga ang Pinoy.. this was performed by the Girls form SOP (Sunday Noon time Variety Show in GMA)

here are some comments about the performance:

:ang panget ng performance,para lang sila nagpractice at naglaro sa stage!!senxa na..sad but true!!!

:worst performance i'v ever seen in "Nobody". Im sorry about that.

:chaka! xD

Parang di man lang nag practice. Haay!
Alam naman nilang maraming manunuod.
Oh well, baka confident na silang konti lang nanunuod sa kanila hahahah!

:hahaha.. CHAKA!!!!! super pangit ng performance

and what do i think?

if i rate it from 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest
based on their confidence: that would be 10.1
why? meron naman silang binuga kasi maganda naman sila
based on their performance: i would give them 4 for effort..
so many have said that some GMA talents (pwera na yung matagal na talaga sa industry) have no talents at all.. yes they have good faces pero wag niyo na lang pakantahain o kaya pasayawin.. ok pa.. di pa sila mapapahiya..





here is another version.. kung meron sa GMA siyempre magpapatalo ba naman ang ABS-CBN? hindi kaya!!

here are some comments about the performance..

:Oh my gosh, this is such a disgrace. I mean, they're great people, but their so stiff. They need to loosen up just like the way WG performs it -.- Bea is trying too much. O_O

:hehe nagdance lesson ba cla? para kc ang tigas ng bewang nila....oooopppss peace poh tau...... comment lang naman eh

:haha,,

mga tao sa GMA mga palaos na naman mga un eh,,..

mga naglipatan sa GMA kc wala na clang production sa ABS-CBN

kakaawa naman!!

:haaay mga epal ng fans ng SOP-GMA... dun kayo magcomment sa show nyo.... kung di nyo feel ung nakikita nyo dto, eh di wag nyong panoorin... di nyo lng kasi matanggap na mas magaganda ang productions ng ASAP at ABS-CBN... mas "BONGGA" in short... at ung mga artista, bigatin... hindi cheapipay at palaos... at cguradong may talent tlga at magaganda...

at dun na nagsimula ang Network wars.. narealize ko kaya pala may network warseh dahil sa mga taong to.. pagalingan ng pinapanood eh nanonood lang naman kayo!!

hay! echos na!!

para sa akin when i saw this on tv ang lamya.. walang buhay.. di parehas sa GMA sa over sa confidence.. pero confidence lang naman ang meron..
pero cge na rin.. at least may effort..



silang lahat pinag aawayan kung sino mas magaling.. pero ang pinaka magaling para sa akin ay sila!! see this video galing sa inmates of cebu.. so much fun and so much better sa mga artista na nag perform sa GMA and ABS.. mahiya naman kayo!!

basta sa akin, ito ang the BEST!!! enjoy!!
