MBTI-INFP

I am an INFP. If you see my personality chart on the sidepane, you will understand with finality that this is why I am different.

MBTI (Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator)

Extravert vs. Introvert
Sensing vs. iNtuition
Thinking vs. Feeling
Judging vs. Perceiving.

Pls. note that this test is only 75% accurate. Actually, no psychological test can ever be 95 to 100% accurate.

I-Introvert

N-iNuition

F-Feeling

P-erceiving


I must say, that this type is among the rarest of all types. Actually the MBTI Test is only 75% accurate. ISFP's are truely romantic and against criticism. Well, everyone has their own certain specific variations. We have a heart of an angel but a mind of a philosopher and a writer.
I am very introverted but sometimes extraverted with certain people. I admit that I am not very artistic, but that is probably hidden within me. I don't really get along very much with people of other types. I am not very confortable on speaking to many people fearing of strange reactions. I feel that I have the ability to help and to understand others through empathy.

The following are the profiles about the INFP's

INFPs are introspective, private, creative and highly idealistic individuals that have a constant desire to be on a meaningful path. They are driven by their values and seek peace. Empathetic and compassionate, they want to help others and humanity as a whole. INFPs are imaginitive, artistic and often have a talent for language and writing. They can also be described as easygoing, selfless, guarded, adaptable, patient and loyal.


"To understand Healers, we must understand their idealism as almost boundless and selfless, inspiring them to make extraordinary sacrifices for someone or something they believe in. The Healer is the Prince or Princess of fairytale, the King's Champion or Defender of the Faith..."
- The Portrait of a Healer Idealist (Keirsey)

"INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life."
- Portrait of an INFP

(The Personality Page)"creative, smart, idealist, loner, attracted to sad things, disorganized, avoidant, can be overwhelmed by unpleasant feelings..."
- INFP Jung Type Descriptions

(similarminds.com)"An INFP's feelings form the foundations of the individual. They are sacred and binding, in the sense that their emergence requires no further justification. An INFP's feelings are often guarded, kept safe from attack and ridicule. Only a few, close confidants are permitted entrance into this domain."
- INFP Profile (INFP Mailing List)

"Highly creative, artistic and spiritual, they can produce wonderful works of art, music and literature. INFPs are natural artists. They will find great satisfaction if they encourage and develop their artistic abilities. That doesn't mean that an INFP has to be a famous writer or painter in order to be content. Simply the act of "creating" will be a fulfilling source of renewal and refreshment to the INFP. An INFP should allow himself or herself some artistic outlet, because it will add enrichment and positive energy to their life."
- INFP Personal Growth (The Personality Page)

"INFPs never seem to lose their sense of wonder. One might say they see life through rose-colored glasses. It's as though they live at the edge of a looking-glassworld where mundane objects come to life, where flora and fauna take on near-human qualities."
- INFP Profile (TypeLogic)

"Their job must be fun, although not racous, and it must be meaningful to them. They need a strong purpose in their work. They want to be recognized and valued, without undue attention given to them. They may become embarrassed when make the center of attention. As a result, they may undersell their strengths in order to avoid being singled out and made to feel conspicuous. They would rather have their worth be noticed gradually over time."
- INFP - The Dreamer (Lifexplore)

POSITIVE TRAITS- The strongest element of your character is your ability to find pastimes that fill your life with joy and happiness. You are irreplaceable when it comes to organising leisure time and entertainment. You are in your creative element when surrounded by beauty, a warm atmosphere, good company and good food. You really know how to enjoy life. You prefer spending your leisure time with friends, family and among nature rather than in more physical activities. You are a peaceful and diplomatic person and know well how to avoid confrontations and conflicts. You know how to make others happy. You always try to uplift any situation, turning negative into positive. You have patience for others inability's and shortcomings. When you interact with others you are always tactful, polite and do not like to pressurise or push people.

NEGATIVE TRAITS- One of your problems is a lack of foresight. When undertaking a project you are not always able to accurately assess its future potential and therefore you often expect to see a return in the short term. Where projects are concerned, you also have a tendency to confuse what you wish to see with what is actually there, so others may think you are not a serious person. You do not like officialdom and formality, instead you prefer to deal with people in an informal way. Your major problem is a lack of motivation and the ability to push yourself when it comes to work matters, especially where uninteresting yet essential tasks are involved. Sometimes you make promises that you cannot keep.

BOLD- means that This is what I can do.

INFPs present a calm, pleasant face to the world. They appear to be tranquil and peaceful to others, with simple desires. In fact, the INFP internally feels his or her life intensely. In the relationship arena, this causes them to have a very deep capacity for love and caring which is not frequently found with such intensity in the other types. The INFP does not devote their intense feelings towards just anyone, and are relatively reserved about expressing their inner-most feelings. They reserve their deepest love and caring for a select few who are closest to them. INFPs are generally laid-back, supportive and nurturing in their close relationships. With Introverted Feeling dominating their personality, they're very sensitive and in-tune with people's feelings, and feel genuine concern and caring for others. Slow to trust others and cautious in the beginning of a relationship, an INFP will be fiercely loyal once they are committed. With their strong inner core of values, they are intense individuals who value depth and authenticity in their relationships, and hold those who understand and accept the INFP's perspectives in especially high regard. INFPs are usually adaptable and congenial, unless one of their ruling principles has been violated, in which case they stop adapting and become staunch defenders of their values. They will be uncharacteristically harsh and rigid in such a situation.

Most INFPs will exhibit the following strengths with regards to relationship issues:
1. Warmly concerned and caring towards others
2. Sensitive and perceptive about what others are feeling
3. Loyal and committed - they want lifelong relationships
4. Deep capacity for love and caring
5. Driven to meet other's needs
6. Strive for "win-win" situations
7. Nurturing, supportive and encouraging
8. Likely to recognize and appreciate other's need for space
9. Able to express themselves well
10. Flexible and diverse

Most INFPs will exhibit the following weaknesses with regards to relationship issues:
1. May tend to be shy and reserved
2. Don't like to have their "space" invaded
3. Extreme dislike of conflict
4. Extreme dislike of criticism
5. Strong need to receive praise and positive affirmation
6. May react very emotionally to stressful situations
7. Have difficulty leaving a bad relationship
8. Have difficulty scolding or punishing others
9. Tend to be reserved about expressing their feelings
10. Perfectionistic tendancies may cause them to not give themselves enough credit
11. Tendency to blame themselves for problems, and hold everything on their own shoulders

Dominant Introverted Feeling (Fi): INFPs live primarily in a rich inner world of emotion. (STRONGEST)
Auxiliary Extraverted Intuition (Ne): INFPs engage the outside world primarily with intuition, adept at seeing the big picture, sensing patterns and the flow of existence from the past toward the future.
Tertiary Introverted Sensing (Si): This function gives INFPs a natural inclination toward absent-mindedness and makes them more easily distracted.
Inferior Extraverted Thinking (Te): This function helps INFPs focus on external details but, being the inferior function, requires the expenditure of greater energy and is not as reliable.(WEAKEST)

SOCIONICS OF INFP

Socionics is a relatively young and dynamically developing branch of psychology which is based on Carl Jung's work on Psychological Types, Freud's theory of the conscious and unconscious, and Antoni Kepinski's theory of information metabolism.

Socionics was founded by a Lithuanian woman and the researcher Aushra Augustinavichute in the 70s, when she combined different knowledge of the human psyche into one structural theory and then the model. The real development of Socionics occurred in the 80s.

Socionics is based upon the idea that a person's character acts like a set of blocks called "psychological functions". Different ways of combining and chaining these functions result in different ways of accepting and producing information, which in turn results in different behavior patterns and thus different character types.

http://www.socionics.com/

S-Type:INFP
TIM: IEI
Fn: NiFe (iNtuition-Introvert, Feeling-Extravert)
TIM Extended: Intuitive-Ethical Intratim
Nickname: The Romantic
Original Russian: Esenin

S-Type: Socionics Type. This is not an MBTI(r) equivalent, although it looks similar. All the capital letters practically mean the same as those in MBTI(r) acronym, apart from the small j/p, which has a different meaning than the capital J/P in MBTI.

TIM: Type of Information Metabolism. More precise definition of the word Type and the way it is used in Socionics. Three letter acronym is an abbreviation of the extended description of TIM (See TIM Extended).

Fn: Type representation by 2 main functions, Dominant and Auxiliary, also used by MBTI(r) practitioners. The capital letter refers to the function (F-Feeling, N-Intuition, etc.) whereas the small letter refers to whether this function is intro- or extroverted. For example Se is Extroverted Sensing, Ti is Introverted Thinking.

TIM Extended: The most desirable way of calling the Types in Socionics. The fist two words describe the first two main functions of the type that form the Ego block. For example Sensory-Logical means 1st function is Sensing and 2nd is Thinking (Logic) and Ethical-Intuitive means that 1st function is Feeling (Ethics) and 2nd is Intuition. The last word defines whether it is Extrovert or Introvert by introducing two specific terms: Extratim and Intratim. The -tim bit is most likely attributed to the TIM (See TIM). The reason for introducing two different words being that Extrovert and Introvert also have other definitions in English language, opening a possibility for misinterpretation.

Nickname: Some of the nicknames used to refer to Socionics Types.

Original Russian: These nicknames have been used by the Socionics enthusiasts in Russia for a long time. The Russian nicknames supposedly link the types to some famous people, however some of them have also been largely debated as incorrect.

Extratim means "Extravert Type of Information Metabolism"
Intratim means "Introvert type of Information Metabolism"

INFP's natural partner is the ENFJ, or the ESFJ. INFP's dominant function of Introverted Feeling is best matched with a partner whose dominant function is Extraverted Feeling. The INFP/ENFJ combination is ideal, because it shares the Sensing way of peceiving, but the INFP/ESFJ combination is also a good match.

But according to the socionics through this site , ENTP + INFP is the most favorable kind of relationship.

Socionics shall be used to minimize marital break-ups. As for the case of a INFP, should he or she part up with either ENFJ, ENTP or ESFJ?

Maybe. But, You should look into their types.

I conclude that I am an INFP with 75% accuracy. Remember, we are artists, writers and caregivers. We tend to be very romantic. This separates us from the rest of the types.

Aphoristic reflections of anger and hatred.

"It's better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you are not".

I agree with this quote. Hatred is disgust of other's personality and a expression of utmost dislike that does not fit into the norms or cultural standards.

"Loved for who you are not". -creates a sense of falsity and hypocrisy in one's personality. Hypocrisy is feigning high principles. Words can be subjected to trickery. Until the people found out that you are a hypocrite, you realized that you can no longer be trusted but be betrayed. You can longer see joy because you have regretted that you have chosen that option to be hypocritical. Socrates once said that "AN UNEXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING". If you don't examine your life, you will not end up successfully. "KNOW THYSELF" Socrates Said.

We are composed of our own choices in life, it is our decisions that makes us who we really are today. Be wise, because the fools are the people who are intrapersonally idiotic (Relating to the Intrapersonal Intelligence of Multiple Intelligences).

"Hated for who you are". - creates a sense of non-acceptance of absurdity that does not fit in into the social norms in one's personality as proclaimed by the others.

Ego(t)ism - making personal welfare and interests your primary or only concern, sometimes at the expense of others (Selfishness)

Altruism - an attitude or way of behaving marked by unselfish concern for the welfare of others. (Selflessness)

Altruism is an important element in friendship.

Imagine a ego(t)istic boy meeting a altruistic girl as friends in a park. The girl wants to borrow his book, and she promised to return it in 1 week. The boy said "yes, go ahead", but in a few minutes, the boy realized that they wouldn't be meeting each other for a long time. So, the boy suddenly snatched the book from the girl, because the boy thinks that he will need the book for some research. The girl hated the boy for being ego(t)istic.

There is another lesson to be learned here. Think very wisely before you act because you will have regrets when it comes to the end of that certain event.

So in this case, "It is better to be hated as an ego(t)ist than to be loved as an altruistic hypocrite."


"Getting angry is actually punishing yourself with the mistakes of others" - Cheng Yen (May 11, 1937 - Present)

(I have seen this quote on my 1st trip (March 13, 2009) with Sir Em to MV Doulos (Which left Manila today) posted on the rear wind shield of a "Revo Tamaraw FX Toyota GLX 1.8EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection)" with the License plate of WEF-701)

(This quote came from the "Still thoughts of Master Cheng Yen" with the courtesy of Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, Phil. )

I do agree with this quote by the Master. People use anger as a way to express which is a need. Anger results from frustration and aggression which may came from annoyance. Anger should be used limitedly not to the point of humiliation and destruction (This is called rage). It is a self-harming punishment because we waste the majority of our kinetic energy.

This is why there is a treatment called "ANGER MANAGEMENT" and it's all over the internet. The strict people out there should learn how to deal with it for they are no God to all. We struggle alot with frustration that complete repression and complete outrage are disadvantagous means of dealing with it. Therefore, the Aristotelian golden mean can be applied here.

If we correct the mistakes of others, then we harm ourselves for these mistakes, if not, then we wouldn't be helping others. If there are people who are very uncooperative, it is better to loose them than to keep them for they do not contribute any work to the group work, otherwise, you will end up blowing your head out with unecessary rage.

Think about the physiology of anger in our bodies.

Look here: http://www.healthmad.com/Mental-Health/Physiology-of-Anger.38920

Mind you, the dangers is a warning against excessive anger.

Pls. learn so you will understand. You will know what to do and what will happen to you when you experience this. GRACIAS!

A grave dream of death penalties

This morning I had a very BAD DREAM. A dream of 2 of my loved ones facing their death penalty charges. I do not know the charges, but I know it would be worse.

I dreamt of my father hanging and struggling that he was trying to live. The penalty people forgot to tie his hands. My father tried to put his hand between the rope and his neck in order to survive. The people around him decided to reschedule the death penalty.

I tried to tell to my father to write the last notes to me before he dies but he was busy preparing for his execution. Bring stuff to the car or something.

My 8 year old paternal primary cousin Khayla Rose Mayo Choi also faced a death penalty with no reason. But this time, she is being beheaded with a knife, not a guillotine. Which is more agonizing than you think.

But this time, I cannot watch a little girl being beheaded. So, instead I closed the door of a room to keep me secluded from the rest. I played classical music or watch TV instead. She was struggling not to go to the execution site, but can't help it. I heard her agonizing. I told someone in the room that Khayla is up there in heaven right now. I do not know about the time, nor the place it happened. I just know the event.

So tragic! So saddening! and So frustrating! I believe that my Unconscious mind is telling me or warning me of something worse. This may be a omen.

Here are the dream interpretation from the dream dictionary:

Cousins To see your cousin in your dream, represents something or some aspect of your character that is somewhat familiar. Perhaps you need to spend more time in cultivating and developing some emerging ability or character

Girls To see a girl in your dream, represents your playful, innocent, and childlike nature. Perhaps you are behaving immaturely in some situation. Alternatively, a girl represents the feminine qualities of your character

Death To dream about the death of a loved one, suggests that you are lacking a certain aspect or quality that the loved one embodies. Ask yourself what makes this person special or what do you like about him. It is that very quality that you are lacking in your own relationship or circumstances. Alternatively, it indicates that whatever that person represents has no part in your own life.

Father To see your father in your dream, symbolizes authority and protection. It suggests that you need to be more self-reliant. Consider also your waking relationship with your father and how aspects of his character may be incorporated within yourself.
To dream that your father is dead, forewarns that you need to proceed with caution in conducting your business.

Hanging To watch a hanging in your dream, represents feelings of insecurity. The hanging may symbolize aspects of yourself that you want to eliminate.

Behead To dream that you or someone else is being beheaded, signifies poor judgment or a bad decision that you have made and regretted.

These are not professional findings. But closest to the message my unconscious is telling me.

Let's hope that the worst events WILL NOT happen.

Maritime experience on M/S 7107 Island Cruise Ship

M/S (Motor Ship) 7,107 Island Cruise is a local cruiser with domestic destinations for tourism. 7,107 is the estimated number of islands that comprises the holistic Philippine archipelago. On March 27, 2009 (9:30pm to 12:00mn)- This was the time she cruised around Manila Bay. Let me say this, that Mrs. Imelda R. Marcos was on-board to celebrate her July 2 birthday in advance. I am not sure if I said it here that she was my Baptismal Godmother. I will say more about her soon.

This cruise ship can take you from Manila to Subic to Palawan then to Boracay. Those are the destinations with different routes. I am unsure if the size is similar to MV Logos Hope but I am definitely sure that it is bigger than MV Doulos. What I have noticed in the ship was Greek words together with its english counterpart on the signs. This made me think that it was once a Greek ship before it became a Philippine ship. But one person from the crew told me that she was registered in Panama. Maybe, this ship had her debut trip on the 1960's. These are all assumptions not hardcore facts.

Curiosity has lingered among the young lads and I to explore around. It was an amazing experience to submit yourself into the Stygian mists of Manila bay with only the ship's lights on.

On April 2 to 8, me and my guardian maybe able to cruise out in the archipelago. Surely, It will be a experience which to me will not fade easily. A moving paradise has taken its course. I have seen the captain's crew navigating with coordinates and commands in their control room before take-off from the North harbor, pier 6.

I was also told that the prime minister of Papua New Guinea was in the boat, but it seemed to be a rumour. I never seen him or even heard from him.

During the sailing time, as the ship went toward SM-MOA, I saw a big dark cloud on the northern side of Manila. I confirmed it as fire. The only way to distinguish that dark cloud and the nocturnal darkness is that the clouds covered the lights on baywalk. I have spotted the Orion constellation on the highest public point on the ship. The view was fantastic, because you could embrace yourself with the darkness.

Film Review: Knowing (2009)

Honestly, this is a great film making Mr. John Koestler (Nicolas Cage) a victim of something foolish. Numbers can mean something. It deals with catastrophic numerology. It was the predictions of extraterrestrial super-sentient and super-sapient beings known as the "whisper people".

I must say, that there are extraterrestrials that are extremely advanced than us who can save us from the worst tragedies. Be mindful, the extraterrestrials are also scared of our existence as we are scared of them.

The children were chosen to be saved. They are like the Adam and Eve of the new Earth. Those extraterrestrials are predictive with strategies. They felt like controlling their personality warning the people of 2009 that the earth is near.

The world was destroyed by excessive solar winds that destroyed the magnetosphere and the atmosphere. "Love is determined" according to an actress in the movie.

Knowing- refers to accept information through different tragic events with the use of numerology. That is the case here. It is all described with statistics. Both descriptive and inferential statistics.

A day of disorder and judgement (March 25, 2009)

Today was the day where I finally get my grades and yes its looks good. However, the process of how to get the grades is extremely chaotic. I arrived at school at 1pm and went to the respective room.

Seriously, Is there such thing as crowd management? The Hallway of the 3rd floor of MDC was flowing with alot of students and CO2 (Due to the excessively collective exhalation of air through talking alot).

Imagine a room where there is 1 personel who gives out the grades with alot of disordered students. 11 sections per room, that is. 1 Section = around 45 students. I went through that.

According to my sociology-Anthropology textbook:

CROWD- is a relatively large and temporary gathering of people in one place who have a purpose and who are aware of each other. (Concentrated Collectivities)

Particularly, this crowd according to Mr. Herbert Blumer, is an example of a Casual Crowd

Casual Crowd- This is an inevitable outgrowth of modern society where big number of people live, work, and travel closely together. This may refer to any group of people who just happen to be in one place simultaneously and focus their attention on a common object or event.

The OBJECT is their GRADES.

Common Elements of Crowd Behavior according to Turner and Killian (1992):
1. Lack of certainty about what should be done.
2. A feeling that something should be done. (Initiative)--> Leadership
3. The Spread of the feeling among the participants.
4. Creation of a particular mood based on the uncertainty.
5. Openness to suggestions on what to do.
6. Relaxation of customary restraints or behavior.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So basically, leadership are one of the keys to control a crowd. Back in school, there was a mixture of 3rd year and 2nd year irregulars. There are some students who cut into line (Singit in Filipino) giving frustration to those who are in line. Is this the nature of Filipinos?

The more we get involved in a crowd, the more we loose our identity through anonymity.

There was a person I saw who did the 2nd element of crowd behavior separating 2nd year irregs from 3rd year irregs. That is a classic example of a student leader.

I would recommend that MDC must start putting ORDER and SYSTEMATIC ORGANIZATION OF STUDENT BODY in their list for this is one of the concerns. The more we speak in a crowd, the more we inhale Carbon Dioxide. The more we inhale Carbon Dioxide, the more tendency we have to faint and for dizziness.

Also, The school SHOULD use 2 floors (3rd floor and 4th floor) for lesser disorder. 1 room each for 5 sections. This should be the POLICY for distributing grades and enrollment. It is adequate and systematic. There has to be 2 straight lines, one for the girls and one for the boys. The rest must go after their businesses are done. Organization is the key element for order.

Even though College life is conducted with freedom which should come with responsibility. That personal responsibility should be maintained within individual boundaries that are conducted by the common mores.

That personal responsibility also contains the sense of self-discipline from excessively unecessary noise, movements and actions.

This my vision of what Crowd control and management really should be like.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, back to the main topic. I finally am officially shifted to Bachelor of Science in Psychology. A course for which I should've belong to. HURRAY! HURRAY!

This is all what I have to say after a tiring day.

SO HILARIOUS!

Emo and Scene Kids.

There is a massive discussion now in youtube about emo and scene kids. Here is the video that sparked attention about hating emo and scene kids.

This video is made by Archmc2012:


The majority of the users dislike her due to her stereotypical discussion on emo and scene kids. Here is my reaction:

"ARCHMC2012. If I were you I wouldn't judge based on their looks but the EMO CONCEPT itself. Emos are actually exaggerating their emotions by thinking when they are heartbroken they nay commit suicide because they think that their life is not worth living without their love partner. A Greek Philosopher Socrates said that "An unexamined life is not worth living". And the Emos practiced that unwisely. THIS IS MY OPINION. IT IS FOR YOU TO AGREE OR DISAGREE. GO AND LET THIS COMMENT FLY TO THE ZENITHLY HEAVENS OR THROW IT TO THE MALEBOLGE WITH YOUR JUDGEMENTAL VULGARITIES, OBSCENITIES AND PROFANITIES. Thank you. I dare not to be judged or to judge anyone. I just hope I am not offending anyone. This is for the good of everyone.

“Oh! Archmc2012, The most disturbing videos you produced has been a subject to massive debate among youtubers when it comes to EMO. I am in the NEUTRAL side. If you want to see what EMO really is like to avoid more negative and offensive issues, here it is: http://www.emo-corner.com/ . And I want you to look over this site before you can actually piss-off or even break their hearts out. You have passed the line of being judgemental due to the majority of negative responses they gave to you. Do not assume but verify your assumptions. Don't judge because people are not books nor apples. We live in different cultures and emo is a very hot topic. I will state here my opinion about emo's. The core concept of it is on the state of mind in which people get heartbroken because they think life can be devastating without the existence of their love partners by their sides. Emos to Pessimistic to Depressed to Hopeless to SUICIDE. That is probably one aspect of it. But in terms of fashion, it is cultural and it is their own looks and their own bodies so don't judge them because they are not yours. Emos are simply exaggerating their emotions by means of extreme magnification. I am not judging nor offending. I am simply stating my opinion. The question is "What is the basis of being emo?, How and why?" One must look into the foundation of it before arguing otherwise, you are using mistaken and fallacious arguments because you don't know the essential context of it. A Greek Philosopher with the name of Socrates has said that, "An unexamined life is not worth living". It is not worth living if you do not know yourself consciously. Everyone is unconscious on what they really are and on being self-judgemental. Judge yourself before judging others. So, if you wish to reply to this message, pls. do make a video as a reply. Thank you. One last thing, do you have any friendster or something account out there?

We are all entitled to our own opinionated perspectives and subjective judgements but we are not entitled to misuse it for bias and profound humiliation of different people. Subjective ideas are welcome for they can help solve issues while judgements can make issues worse. So keep these words of wisdom in mind if you want to be conservatively wise with your actions. LIKE I SAID, I BRING NO HARM BUT TRANQUIL IDEAS. Profanities and "VULGARITIES" are sacriligeous and immoral, but if that is part of your being, SO BE IT. "

In general, she doesn't know other people personally. The emos and scene kids really are frustrated with her prejudicial judgements.

"LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS DANGEROUS. This girl has little knowledge of emos and scene kids, so she becomes judgemental which is against the common mores. She sees them superficially that she doesn't know anything about their personality. "

That was my video comment of the original.

Youtubers have their own saying about this through their video responses. The most logical one became a private video.

I call this as a Cultural Prejudice. I MUST say that almost everyone who replied on the original video have practiced "an attitude with emotional BIAS". Even Archmc2012 is biased.

STEREOTYPING- This is the tendency to picture all members of a group in an oversimplified or exaggerated manner. This is a process by which all members of a particular category as having the same qualities. Usually, we have experience with a particular social category. Then we generalize by thinking that everyone else in the category is just like that person.

In Archmc2012's case, she even puts them inferior from her. She relates them not as a couple of groups but as a whole single race of trend.

Remember, the repliers also practice prejudice, because they are also making her inferior to them. So, this social process is called conflict. And it will never stop due to the eternity of the golden rule.

I consider myself as a unprejudiced nondiscriminator in this case because I can analyze the on-going problems in this situation.

No person has the right to be labeled, misjudged, prejudiced, or discriminated because it will always worsen the current situations.

The ultimate culture possessed in youtube is SCAPEGOATING and JUDGEMENTAL. This is why I don't like to comment on those individuals.

Philippine Politics

Filipinos always blame them for their faults and not themselves. The Filipinos voted for a corrupt government, this is the actual voice of the people. We are not smart enough to look at politics in a ideal way. We see that Elections is just as simple as jumping, not as complicated as launching a space craft.

Westernized Elections in America hold debates and thorough campaigns. Here? In the Philippines, NO. We Filipinos do not realize that we are corrupt as well, because this is the result of extreme personalism. It is in our national identity.

No one should blame the government officials, but blame ourselves. The Filipino people summon popular people in office and after a month, the efficiency of those people are gradually decreased.

We do not realize that we have made alot of wrong choices in the contemporary republic. Scandals and allegations are aimed at the common ears and eyes of the republic. For the Filipinos, Scandals and allegations, are all entertainment, because we have no means to create a revolution of reforms.

The Legislators do not see the big picture of the problems. They are more on investigation than creating bills and laws. They abuse their own power on inquiries. I am not naming names for all you know who these people are.

Why do Filipinos need to be hypocritical and arrogant? They are saying "I must be important! I must be popular! I must race to the top to be president!" This is purely pathetic to head an internal sovereignty.

Politicians these days are goons. Politicians of the future generations will be in a must worse state that today. They will not be able to fix chaos, and not able to manage the country well. Thus, the economy crashes, poverty rises in all cases and the sovereignty will no longer be functioning and it will ultimately be rejected from all listed organizations and lose its status of international recognition as a state. This will be the worst case scenario, if the people are not wise enough to choose an ideal politician.

I suggest that the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) should start the policies of presidential debates, because it will not eliminate fraud but minimize the chances of it. Look at AMERICA, we should be following the same footsteps, shouldn't we?

ulterior injustices will be quite unnoticeable, because we Filipinos got used to injustices.

Somehow, we do not understand or interpret correctly how an ideal political system works. The system of government fluctuated with the sudden shifts of unicameral-to-bicameral legislature and vice versa. The point is the problem is in the Filipinos, not the system.

I am more comfortable if we are still a commonwealth right now, because we would be in a more developed state than we actually are. We would have less poverty. Learn from the superpowers and our own experiences as a state.

It is foolish and quite idiotic to see a newscaster or a boxer in office. Where is the commited reputation? It is no longer visible to the great optics of the Filipinos.

There should be a Philippine version of Obama and NO I do not recommend Mayor Binay for the position.

I must say that People Power II is the worst mistake of the Filipinos, because they have worsen the conditions that will support a good government.

Revolution of Reforms not rebellion is necessary to revitalize the systematic bureaucracies from deepening catastrophies. This "Revolution of Reforms" means a complete revamp of the government. The justice system (Judiciary department) should be more active when doing their job. There must be new laws that can regulate justice in the country.

The Revolution of Reforms will solely abide to Articles 2 and 3 of the 1986 Constitution. Because the full basis of sovereignty in general lies in these articles.

We cannot rely on it if US THE FILIPINOS DO NOT CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS POLITICS. It is only effective when we change.

Remember "Justice delayed is Justice Denied"

"I am NOT politically proud to be a Filipino but culturally proud." That is the dictum that denotes shame in the Philippine power-play arena.

P.S. President Arroyo and all gov't officials are not fully responsible for these faults but the mass of the people.

Pedagogical empowerment

There are teachers who seem to have an advantage in trying to find a correct technique of teaching. There are teachers who seem to be very confident on what they say that they have the power to inspire and motivate their students.

Educators who possess these skills will always have fortitude on whatever they do. A classic example is Mrs. Erin Gruell.



The FREEDOM WRITERS was a diary made by a group of students in Rm. 203 of Woodrow Wilson High School in long beach, California. It was initiated by Mrs. Gruell for self-expression in times of gang violence and racial discrimination.

"The Freedom Writers Diary: How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them"- This is the name of the diary.

Freedom Writers Diary: How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change
Themselves and the World Around Them
by Freedom Writers
About this title: Straight from the
front line of urban America, the inspiring story of one fiercely determined
teacher and her remarkable students.
As an idealistic twenty-three-year-old
English teacher at Wilson High School in Long beach, California, Erin Gruwell
confronted a room of "unteachable, at-risk" students. One day she intercepted a
note with an ugly racial caricature, and angrily declared that this was
precisely the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust--only to be met by
uncomprehending looks. So she and her students, using the treasured books "Anne
Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" and "Zlata's Diary: A Child's Life in
Sarajevo" as their guides, undertook a life-changing, eye-opening,
spirit-raising odyssey against intolerance and misunderstanding. They learned to
see the parallels in these books to their own lives, recording their thoughts
and feelings in diaries and dubbing themselves the "Freedom Writers" in homage
to the civil rights activists "The Freedom Riders." With funds raised by a
"Read-a-thon for Tolerance," they arranged for Miep Gies, the courageous Dutch
woman who sheltered the Frank family, to visit them in California, where she
declared that Erin Gruwell's students were "the real heroes." Their efforts have
paid off spectacularly, both in terms of recognition--appearances on "Prime Time
Live" and "All Things Considered," coverage in "People" magazine, a meeting with
U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley--and educationally. All 150 Freedom
Writers have graduated from high school and are now attending college. With
powerful entries from the students' own diaries and a narrative text by Erin
Gruwell, "The Freedom Writers Diary" is an uplifting, unforgettable example of
how hard work, courage, and the spirit of determination changed the lives of a
teacher and her students. The authors' proceeds from this book will be donated
to The Tolerance Education Foundation, an organization set up to pay for the
Freedom Writers' college tuition. Erin Gruwell is now a visiting professor at
California State University, Long Beach, where some of her students are Freedom
Writers.

I acknowledge this article from this website: http://www.alibris.com/booksearch?qsort=&page=1&matches=35&browse=1&qwork=2452635&full=1

Westernized Public Education, in my opinion, does not promote any preventions on gang violence, racial discrimination and other relevant issues. I am refering to the schools with students whose attitudes are disrespectful. They do not accept any cultural advantages, they need motivations to develop a moral mind.

I am sure that the US President Obama will fix that after he fixes the economic crisis. Let there be a certain revolution for ideal education reform.

Pls. be reminded that pedagogical empowerment for the students is a way for them to be enlightened in their own manner.

Contradictory Proverbs (Paradoxical Proverbs)

Proverbs- are short well-known sayings

Utimately, we oftenly do not know which proverb should we believe or which proverb should we reject.

These are called Contradictory Proverbs (More Accurately Paradoxical Proverbs)

However, These proverbs can apply to one situation while the other cannot, so it is really dependable for each situation. We cannot reject them completely.

These are samples of paradoxical proverbs:

All good things come to those who wait. VS. Time and tide wait for no man.

The pen is mightier than the sword. VS Actions speak louder than words.

Wise men think alike. VS Fools seldom differ.

The best things in life are free things.. VS There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Slow and steady wins the race. VS Time waits for no man.

Look before you leap. VS Strike while the iron is hot.

Do it well, or not at all. VS Half a loaf is better than none.

Birds of a feather flock together. VS Opposites attract.

Don't cross your bridges before you come to them. VS Forewarned is forearmed.

Doubt is the beginning of wisdom. VS Faith will move mountains.

Great starts make great finishes. VS It ain't over 'till it's over.

Practice makes perfect. VS All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Silence is golden. VS The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

You're never too old to learn. VS You can't teach an old dog new tricks

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. VS One man's food is another man's poison.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. VS Out of sight, out of mind.

Too many cooks spoil the broth. VS Many hands make light work.

Hold fast to the words of your ancestors. VS Wise men make proverbs and fools repeat them.

These contradictions and paradoxes inhibits the casual sense of philosophical moderation as proposed by Aristotle.

Example:
The pen is mightier than the sword. (Jose Rizal's Books against the Spanish Colony)
VS
Actions speak louder than words. (Theatrical technique of Stage acting)

This is one example where 2 proverbs really does contradict. Remember, If you apply one proverb and reject the other, that proverb applies to that situation and the other proverb does not.

There are also proverbs that can create confusion and conflict among the believers.

Look before you leap. (Analyze before applying)
VS
Strike while the iron is hot. (Take the risk without minding the consequences)

Now, this is an example of a proverb that creates a certain conflict. Here is a situation that either of these 2 proverbs can be applied.

"There was a 10 year-old curious boy named Lando, who was quite curious at everything. He was walking at Central Park with a beagle on his right side. His beagle spotted a plastic bag full of Metamphetamine. The beagle barked at Lando, for him to check out the plastic bag. He is curious at the plastic bag. What should Lando do? Should he take it and experiment with it (Strike while the iron is hot)? Or should he think about the consequences (Look before you leap)?"

If he wants to be wise, he should think about the consequences. The consequences of not picking the plastic bag up are:
1. Lando will not be affected by the Illegal drug Scandal
2. Lando will know the morality.

If he wants to be curious, he will pick the plastic bag up and start sniffing it and selling it to other people.
The results are:
1. Lando will end up in prison
2. Lando will be a social deviant
3. Lando will not be himself as he was before he took the plastic bag.

So, therefore, he should choose "Look before you leap" proverb. Other proverbs like "Curiosity kills" and "Little knowledge is dangerous" can definitely be applied and they are indirectly contradictory to "Strike while the iron is hot" proverb.

MV DOULOS: MY EXPERIENCE (March 13, 2009)

MV Doulos (Pls click the link for my 1st post on this)

Today, I have finally rediscovered the experience in MV Doulos. I finally found out about the history she has gone through. She is already 95 years old and she is 30 years old as MV Doulos.

Technical Data:
Call sign: 9HKF
Port of Registry: Valletta, Malta
Type: Passenger
Built: 1914, Newport News, Virginia, USA
Classification: Registro Italiano Navale (RINA), (Reg No. 23152)
Tonnage: 6818 GRT (Gross Register Tonnage- the total internal volume of a vessel, with some exemptions for non-productive spaces. 1 GRT= 100 ft³= 2.83 m³)

CAPACITIES
Persons: 414
Cargo (Books): 1037 m³

DIMENSIONS
Length: 130.35 m
Breadth: 16.60 m
Design Draught: 5.54 m

MAIN PROPULSION ENGINE
FIAT GMT C4218SS
V-18 cyl. 4-stroke
5958 kW (8100 bhp)
Intermediate Fuel
Renk Reduction Gear
Fixed Pitch Propeller

bhp is Brake or British Horsepower = 33,000 lb·ft/minute

For the laymen, you guys don't have to understand the maritime technicalities of MV Doulos.

It was called the following:
SS Medina (August 22, 1914-1948)
SS Roma (1948-1952)
MV Franca C (1952-1977)
MV Doulos (1977- October 2010)

Here are the details of the history of MV Doulos- http://www.ssmaritime.net/doulos1.htm

DOULOS is Greek for Servant

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

Floating United Nations

With a crew of 350 volunteers from around 50 countries, Doulos is like a 'floating United Nations.' Doulos is proof that people from a variety of cultures, languages and backgrounds can live and work together in close community. We are brought together with one aim: Bringing knowledge, help and hope to the people in the ports we visit.

- page 13 of "The story of a remarkable ship- bringing knowledge, help and hope (150 Doulos International Units)

OM (Operation Mobilization) - Working in every
continent and on every ocean (via two ocean-going ships), Operation Mobilisation
seeks to demonstrate and proclaim the love of God. In every situation OM teams
adapt to the local culture and situation, finding the best ways to share
Jesus.
Through literature, the creative arts, friendship, Bible studies,
videos and cassette tapes, correspondence courses, relief and development work,
and much, much more… by all means possible we will tell people how our lives
have been changed… and how they can meet Jesus.
Wherever possible, Operation
Mobilisation works in partnership with the local church, encouraging and
supporting local believers. Where there is no church… we seek to plant churches

Those Ocean-going ships are MV Doulos and MV Logos Hope (Who is 2 times bigger than MV Doulos)

LOGOS is Greek for "WORD" which refers to John 1:1-2 which is:

"In the beginning, the Word existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He existed in the beginning with God." - International Standard Version.

MV LOGOS HOPE

(SUCCESSOR OF MV LOGOS and MV LOGOS II)

I met a volunteer on-board and his name is Jack Piaget (He claimed that he is NOT related to the Psychologist Jean Piaget, but I am sure he is somewhat related but not directly) who is 26 years old and was from Switzerland. I am sure he is one of many examples that Jesus Christ will never leave them and believe on the dogmas of Christianity. Christianity in this ship is composed of different denominations like (Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Seven-day Adventism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.) It is a collaboration of CHRIST's Domain.

Being in MV Doulos is irreplacable because of her old age. I didn't feel that I am in the Philippines. I stood at a great piece of historical evidence which I embraced with opportune fathom.

"BRING KNOWLEDGE, HELP AND HOPE" is the vision

A ship full of services and a clash of culture brings peace to the crewmembers (Douloids) as their stories ends with the inspiration of Jesus Christ alone.

They advocate Christian volunteerism as a plan of God for them. They say that God plans the pathway and the destiny of the people on board and the ship herself.

The Douloids disperse their help for those who are in need by getting involved with activities.

Bookselling and souvenirs are worthy to let the common good know that MV Doulos is and will ever be a part of their lives.

Let me lay out a Syllogism:
Sacrifice is NO salary
NO Salary is Service for God
Therefore, Sacrifice is a Service for God.

"The ship is owned and operated on behalf of OM Ships International by GBA Ships e.V. , a private, non-profit, charitable organisation registered in Germany."

WE HAVE LAID OUR HANDS IN THE LANDMARK OF MARITIME HISTORY. THE UNDENIABLE, THE UNFORGETABLE, THE REALISTIC, THE REMARKABLE and DEEPLY DISTORTED "SERVANT".

LED GOD LEAD THE WAY OF THE FELLOWS AND GUIDE THEM WITH FAITH. They shalln't be failed.

Cryptozoology: A Mystery of lost creatures.

We sometimes ponder into weird creatures of nature. We wonder if creatures like the Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch, Yeti, Chupacabras, etc.

Are these creatures naturally and genetically manipulated? Are they known to survive in a different world? I guess so. There is a possibility of extinct creatures of returning in 2 to 50 million years. That would be like March 2,002,009 to March 50,002,009.

















You will understand through these slideshows. The world is not limited to the ordinary but to the extraordinary rarity. Science may not be able to verify and authenticate their existence due to the lack of information.

But skeptics will never believe on these things because they will always believe that these are products of photoshopping. It is your say whether these creatures are realistic or mythical.

I am sure there will be another Charles Darwin out there who will describe about the bizarre phenomenon of cryptozoology.

So, this probably means that we will never get a complete list of creatures in this world. There could be unfamiliar creatures down in the unchartered waters.



Creepiness rules the earth with the enigmas that people will sense some awkward moments with their presence. They are wilder than the wildest known animal. We do not know them or how they come about but they will never know us.



Kryptos --> Hidden or Mysterious (Gk)

Zoos--> Animal (Gk)

Logos--> Study (Gk)



Gk means Greek.



So therefore, Cryptozoology means the "Study of mysterious animals."



Nothing in this world will be complete, Just like the Periodic table of chemical Elements.



Theories will rise up somewhere out of the blue on how they come into existence. Taxonomy is very difficult because we surely do not know the true characteristics.

If you see some animals with 2 heads or 5 arms, that has to be either a genetic mutation or a congenital defect. It is obvious in human neonates. Look at the Siamese Twins.

So, you see, creation may have created a new road of evolutionary development. AND PLS. DO NOT ARGUE THIS WITH RELIGION, They are not meant to be together.

We have yet to witness the genuine deployment of natural creatures. Have a good day. ENJOY!

Controlling Parental Overprotection

Let me clarify the title: "Controlling" in this sense is not a verb but a noun. This is a type of overprotection.

This type of parenting will not have a successful ending, because it will spoil the child to his/her laziness. It is fairly ineffective that guardians out there must NOT convince the child that they control them. In the end, the children treated under this parenting will realize that their superego strongly adheres to the morals of the parent. Therefore, the child gets weak, anxious and will have low self-esteem. This low self-esteem may also result in poor self-image and lack of motivation of self-care. This will delay the normal process of socialization, thus becomes an introvert who doesn't stand for him/herself for whatever s/he believes in.
This personality tends to become passive and sensitive to external aggression. The child doesn't want to say no to his/her guardian/parent because, they fear that the guardian might be aggressive or so. All of these delays may then result to misunderstandings and conflicts. When this happens, there is a high probability of making that person a social deviant.

Depression and relations with other people are also factors to the child's development. The child may also lack self-love and love for others because they may feel that they are alone and lack friends. This does not make the child holistically and responsibly independent, self-reliant and resilient. The establishment of mutual unconditional understanding, acceptance and love is necessary for the child to experience a normal life. LOVE IS THE BEST ANTI-DEPRESSANT and it promotes the best positive energy.

My uncles and my mom has experienced these already and they do not know the reality behind it. I am undergoing this process now. WE ARE WHO WE ARE, NOT WHO THEY ARE.

Would you like to have a parent or guardian who judges extrinsically (Judging without looking into details), who oversimplifies his/her ideas, who misunderstands and not listen to their offsprings, who unreasonably criticises the lapses in the child's personality and attitude, or even instilling fear and anxiety?

Once we are unreasonably criticized, we regress our feelings and expression and not argue, but to accept the case. THIS IS WHAT IS SEE IN MY CASE.

Is it immoral for me to convince the person with these faults? Is it immoral for me to be myself?

Criticism vs. Help- For those who go for extreme criticism must think again and observe what behavior would you see in that person. For those who go for help, I praise you because you must understand not just know the cases.

This is why children are not close to their parents or guardians. This is why children run away and be social deviants. Pls. remember my points in my other post on parenting and guardianship. A Disjunctive relationship will lead to dysfunctional socialization.

Don't be too restrictive, because there is a high chance of your child being a selfish, passive, uncooperative parent.

Proper development is natural but with external influences and factors that will lead to family authoritarianism is so uncivilian, so demanding and that child will likely have an extra channel to deviance.

Corporal Punishment should be universally classified as IMMORAL and be banned. Those people who do punishments or excessive discipline do not understand the behavior of their child and the neurological differences of different genders.

I must say that I am immaturely dependent just by being spoiled. Hopefully, there will be deep researches on these matter.

Updates on the inter-course transition

Later today (March 10, 2009), will be my very last day to see myself in BSN-II-03 as part of the class. My last exam is Physics which is part of my last day in the class.

I am aware that I will be in a mishmesh of subjects that I haven't taken up. I told myself, that I must go on and not worry about those jackanapes (somebody who behaves in an impudent, self-centered way) anymore, because they are once part of my life but have no impact in me no more. In a way or so, they have proven themselves their real self, which I didn't expect of.

"Intellectual arrogance will never glorify the true subjectivity of personality."

Well, I don't know about the other sections, they MAY have similar mentalities. But I do not care anymore as they (II-03) have no care to exercise their enthusiasm in an introvert.

I most probably have a summer vacation since there is no classes in psychology, but that is not confirmed in my case. I will need some catching up. I strongly DO NOT regret this, but I see it as a great milestone of my adolescence.

"Whoever and wherever you are classmates, I have given you a chance for you to accept me as who I am and it is all busted. However, I express my gratitude for those who helped me in an atomic scale. Something is better than nothing. But, the implication of my perspective will still be the same as misunderstanding is at the core of the social group. I tried my best to know and understand everyone but no one is interested in the matter of reciprocity. I apologize for those who are offended due to my scapegoating. But the truth is, conflict bestows extreme reciprocal aggravation in the interpersonal stratum. GOOD LUCK on your endeavours, BSN-II-03."

Despite, the unorganized craziness of subject matter for each semester, I am sure I will get through this with educational fun.

I shall now retire in order to prepare for the test. GOOD MORNING AND PREVAIL THE WORTHY OF YOUR EXISTENCE WITH DETERMINATION.

Film Review: The Pursuit of Happyness

This is a movie that involves hope in the verge of poverty. Chris Gardner, now a motivational speaker has started his business working for Osteo National by investing on the sale of the 40 lb. Bone Density Scanner.

There is a lesson I saw in the life of Chris Gardner through this movie. The lesson is, don't give up hope no matter what happens, otherwise, you will be stuck. Don't give up that dream of happiness you are aiming for.

Even in the most difficult times of one's life there will always be a sparkle of hope. We go through these difficult times in order to reach happiness and success. This is a pattern of a lifetime.

It is best to hear it from the man himself: Chris Gardner.

Good day!

A unlucky ending for a textbook. (March 6, 2009) and some other motivational philosophical and sociological thoughts

Yesterday, I had my P.E. Class and my textbook that is, "Sociology and Anthropology by Epifacio Palispis" was stolen yesterday. This happened after my practical test in Volleyball in the gym. (To be frank, I am not athletic but effortless in Volleyball and Basketball.) Now back to the subject, I was reviewing for the test on Monday in the Gym. I placed it on the teacher's table. I went inside the Faculty Room in the gym to get some water for my water bottle, after a while it is gone! I am damn sure that was there and not misplaced. I would be in boiling water if I hadn't got that back, because the FINAL EXAMINATION OF THE SEMESTER is on MONDAY.

From this, I believe that some of my classmates accidentally got it, mistakenly it is theirs. I admit that it is partly my fault because I didn't put my name in it. Now, I asked my classmates on what happened and they seemed didn't really care. Even when the class president asked everyone where my book is, one classmate said that everyone has a book.

So, my only solution is to by a new book worth P355 in national bookstore just for the exams and for future references.

I really can't stand the secretive and hidden idiocy of apathy and ignorance of my classmates for such treatment to me. Even though they seemed smart, their attitude stays dull. Truely, the teachers and all other people don't see that but me. I may be crazy to other people, but I know that I don't know the real rigid truth behind those masks.

Even though you are intellectual or smart, your attitude may not be coping up with the smartness. Attitude defines the integrity of the personal identity. You are fooling yourself if you see that intellect or intelligence does not rely on the attitude of the person. Intellectual arrogance and hypocrisy is the quintessence of denial and falsity of innocence and the truthiness of self-conceitedness.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I were to stand in the web of credibility worthy of million words, I will have to prove to the world that MAN stands by his own will striving for the best objective that can create a myriad of beneficial consequences under heavy circumstantial factors to the success that is meant to be met. You must have the courage, the trust and the love to do such. It could be in the boundaries of life and death. Text can be credibile in paper but inexistent in action. We have the obligation to stand by our will undistorted by fear. Leftists show the credibility of deviance that change is the permanence of the universe. IT IS EASIER TO SAY IT IN WORDS THAN TO ACTUALLY DO IT.

Wheather we conform and not conform to the common norms of society, our beliefs must stand strong. We do not need the approval of others and all of the society. The people who does this are the MARTYRS. Sacrifice yourself regardless of consequences and societal sanctions. Defense of belief and logic is a lifetime sacrifice.

however, I utterly agree that conformity is not a option but a obligation of mankind for socialization. But deviance is contradictory to conformity and it poses for social change. The societies must understand deviance in order to know what actions to take. Truthfully, I see deviance as a pathway to change. Deviance of crime shall be avoided. But Deviance toward change is an awarding action. The people must understand the reasons behind these. Rules and regulations minimizes our deviances but not stop it. Deviance Toward Change (DTC) is an attitude that we are free to create some changes without shame. However, those people who disagree in change must see the effects of change not the causes.

DTC without social control nor sanctions is who we really are, because if we are bounded by the lifetime conformity to the respective societies, we would not know everything through experience. Conformity shapes us to be not our natural selves. DTC creates on what we should be. We would be wiser. It is in our common conscience. Deviance of Crime is a very different matter, it is unnatural.

In terms of morality, Conformity is moral and deviance is immoral as everyone considered. Actually, We must accept the absurdity in other people's acts that are DTC and not accept the Deviance of Crime. Our beliefs must be consistent with the conformity or DTC, otherwise, we would be unreasonable. Accept on what you believe is right not according to what you against. But if you are 1 vs 1000 in decision, you have 2 options, conform or DTC yourself without anybodies consent but you will like to end up into sanctions.

Rules and regulations exists to provide justice and order to minimize Deviance of Crime. These guidelines need not to be strict or flexible. I shall write of this more next time. GOOD DAY and I am not sure if I am inconsistent with my sayings, but I tried my best to not eat my words.

Sometimes, I don't even know what I am typing here, so pls. forgive me for my lapses.

A Day that differs from another day in the month. (March 5, 2009)

Winnie Cordero, a person in the Umagang Kay Ganda barkada in ABS-CBN is a very different personality in person but jubilant with her "Hello Philippines, Sa Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao! I am Live and alive dito sa ____(Place)" signature introduction on camera. What I really like about her is her style of communicating to the state. She has manifested eager flamboyance wherever she may be on camera.

I saw her this morning featuring CIA (Culinary Institute of Aristocrat) at TV first. Then, as I was on my way to school, I saw her in person with a different personality in reality. I witnessed her enjoying smoking a cigarette during the break with a crewmember or so. Of course, there are some people who have habits of smoking during breaks, but I believed that she was not very happy for some reason. Or am I really mistaken of reading her facial expression?

Ms. Cordero was an actress in the educational program of Knowledge Channel called Sineskwela together with the former Artistic Director of Tanghalang Pilipino whose name is Herbert Go.

Several days ago, I knew her crew would go there or at the bakeshop one of these days. It was something like a prediction or so. Generally, we can have 2 different personalities: Camera Personality and Behind-the-scenes personality. This applies to most extraverts.

Camera Personality- is the intentions of the personality to go with the vibes and expectations of the audience. Whether Cinematic or Journalistic.

1. Journalistic Camera Personality- This applies to broadcasters and radio people
2. Cinematic Camera Personality- This applies to actors in movies and theaters.

Behind-the-scenes Personality- Is the unique true-self of personality hidden from public vision via camera.


This is the video in the morning show Umagang kay Ganda, which is "Magandang Umaga Pilipinas".

Later, at around 3:00 to 5:00, I have witnessed something worth reminiscing. A group of Taekwondo People from the Philippine Taekwondo Association (PTA) who were trained in CSB (Colegio de San Beda). All of them are students of different schools. I was about to regret the gracefulness of martial arts earlier, but I certainly decided that it will do me no good. BTW, They are all black belters. This happened at school. The students was WOW-ed by the self-defense techniques. It was a demonstration to motivate students for the promotion of sportmanship.

If Taekwondo is comparable to Bruce Lee's Martial Arts, Taekwondo would be the amateur and Bruce Lee's Martial Arts would be the professional, regardless of cultural considerations.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My teachers of CAS (College of Arts and Sciences) are great models of education and I stand for my friendship with some of them. It is like Alexander the Great having friends with his mentor Aristotle. Aristotle with Plato. Plato with Socrates. It gives me an advantage because, I would choose to understand them than to immerse myself in bad company.

Never conform to bad companies of friendship, because you will never know what would they do to you. They could be rude enough not to understand, accept and not to know themselves. As a student, conformity is a need of belongingness. This need to belong to a social group is essential together with unconditional love.

"True Social groups are not tied together like cactuses to pierce each other with thorns of mischief, but tied together like sunflowers with embracing petals to fill the company with trust and loyalty."

Remember this: "If a person does not make new acquaintances, as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. A person should keep his friendship in constant repair."

The first sentence totally explains my situation on socialization. Nothing more and nothing less, that is the truth, the whole substantiated truth.

LASTLY, I am officially considered as an irregular student. Next week is already the Final exam Week and Clearance.

I am sure, I will do good in Sociology-Anthropology and Physics. If any of you has been wondering why I have only 2 exams, let me tell you this. I actually have 4 subjects (PE and Languages). In MDC, PE exam is usually practical exam. In Languages, my final examination was a group debate on the topic: "The BSN 5-year course should not be implemented."

I originally had 7 subjects. The 3 dropped-out subjects are "Drugs and solutions (Introductory overview to Pharmocology)", NCM 100 (Nursing Care Management 100) and the most merciless RLE (Related Learning Experience).

Pls. Wish me Buenas Suerte for those exams. It is the last test for the semester and for the course. YEHEY!!!!

Life is not immortal.

The Question: Would you like to live forever?

Answer: "I would not want, because we are destined to die. 60 to 100 years will be fine, but immortality will defeat the purpose of our mission here on Earth. If there is a beginning then there must be an ending. In some ways, we will die anyway because ever-lasting importance doesn't exist. Immortality alters the resonance of life by drastically increasing population which results the boom of overpopulation. Take note on the consequences of overpopulation. Elixirs and panaceas of immortality alters the genetics of humanity. We may end up mutated with other enigmatic body parts. It is impossible to destroy the natural process of ageing for it is inevitable. Death is inevitable, no matter what happens, it will come. The number of escapes we have will not matter. Longevity is better than immortality. Also, everything will be scarce. That includes all natural resources. Eternal immunity from death is extremely unnatural. This means that those who don't want to let go with life will unfortunately end up as a roving spirit (Ghosts) on Earth."

Further explanation: Let nature takes its pace, not the unnatural entities. I would like to go deeper now. Humans tend to be very bored when they go beyond the ordinary supercentenarian age. They would feel that depression has taken its climax. It will always be the same. Actually, the body is actually the cage of the spirit. It is what I call Eternal Embodiment, which is impossible. Vulnerability, stamina and tolerance of dangers will always tame down the body. I would not like to be the oldest person with unnatural causes of immortality. This embodiment is torture, excruciation, and extreme deprivation. The spirit in that body wants to escape but can't because of unnatural longevity. I am sure that the biblical Methuselah has experienced all of these already. No man has the right to be immortal. Anyways, we will die when this universe ends. So, shortcuts are better than the labryinths of immortality. Remember, DEATH is inevitable and we can't take that end out of our lifetime. Eternal existence will obviously end with extremely delayed death. Nothing has everlasting importance.

THANK YOU AND I HOPE YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND MY PERSPECTIVE OF IMMORTALITY. It wasn't like this when I was young. I never did consider the factors.

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

The return of MV Doulos

MV (Motor Vessel) Doulos will be returning to Manila on March 5 but it will be open to the public on the noon of March 6. It is in Bacolod, Negros Occidental.

My guardian's high school classmate named Em who was a volunteer of this ship for a very long time. Since 1980's probably. Sustainance of volunteerism on this ship is stabilized. Newcoming volunteers will have to be in the ship for the 1st 2 weeks before proceeding to regular volunteerism.

She was born on 1914 (2 years younger than RMS Titanic who was born on 1912)

The following are from the flyer given by sir Em.

MV DOULOS

BACK IN MANILA!

6-30 March 2009

Gate 1, South Harbor, Manila Pier 13 (Behind Manila Hotel)

MV Doulos is the World's Oldest Ocean-Going Passenger ship still sailing. She was built in 1913, only 2 years after the Titanic. Staffed by 330 volunteers from 50 countries. Doulos seeks to bring knowledge, help and hope to the nations. In the past 30 years, Doulos has sailed to more then 100 countries, welcoming more then 21 million visitors onboard.

BOOKSHOP

Doulos hosts the World's Largest Floating Book Shop. She carries half a million books for sale at afforfable prices. On display titles of quality literature, covering subjects such as Educational, Business, Cookery, Sports, Christian Living, a great collection of Children's books and more. Choices for the whole family!

Book Shop Opening hours:

Sunday and Monday 2pm-10pm

Entrance Fee: P10

Saturday, March 07, 2pm-5pm Free

Sunday, March 15, 2pm-5pm Free

Come and see the different cultures onboard. Hear from the Doulos crew where they come from and what they do on the ship! Enjoy a special afternoon for the whole family.

That was from the Flyer.

For more Information pls visit their website. MV DOULOS WEBSITE

MV Doulos is run with Diesel and her bottom hull is dried once a year (Dry-docking).

She was here on January 2007 and December 2007.

The List of ports

She will retire in Europe on 2010. There will be a bigger ship once she retires.

The volunteers will need a translator when she's docked on the ports of non-english speaking states.

My nickname for this ship is "The international portal of epistemological and bibliographical dispersion."

The captain, I believe, is planning a cycle or a process of routes for each future port.

The Operation started on December 29, 1977 and will end on 2010. Therefore the on-board operation will be 33 years.

I will soon figure out the statistics on how often she goes to a particular port.

It is without a doubt a ship that centralizes inter-cultural diversity.

One thing for sure, I will not go into the technicality of Doulos since it is a sort of baloney to the laymen.

Point-Peso Equivalency
1 Point = 1 Peso
"Point" is a currency standard on the ship that has a equivalent value to the monetary unit of the state, Doulos is visiting.

In Weekends, the ship is very populous and there will be a very long line which give you time to enjoy the environment and some volunteers by the side of the line.

You will need an ID and Children under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult.

THANK YOU AND PLS. GO VISIT, It is a opportunity. She has been in Manila for around 6 to 7 times already. There are books that are not common.

Full exposure to a rural environment

Rural areas are the best areas in the world. It is closest to nature and generally away from urban cacophony and waste. It great to see summer back home.

Nature is my love. It is where I forget all the problems and leave it back home. A place of relaxation is a place where you visualize the orange beauty of sunsetting in the east.















The serenity, the aesthetics, the wind, the scent of nature in the provinces are essentially indescribable. It best to experience nature up in the mountains and relax with gentle rain around you without distractions. You can also meditate while smelling the scents of the evergreens in the air. It is detoxifying and uplifting the spirit and the energy to its climax. If you have a garden or a balcony undistracted by the urban chaos and nature alone surrounds you, then go and take a rest on a hammock.

extreme urban life is definitely toxic and dreadful because all you experience is pollution, danger, problems, worries and ultimate distractions. It keeps you busy everyday without letting us stop at a moment and relax. Relaxation in the city is not enough because it is unnatural.

Springs, mountains, rivers, villages and other rural civilizations will forever be away from the chaos of the cities and complicated technology.

Every once in a while, experience of different hedonistic activities is worth the time, worth the moment and worth the space.

Seeing birds flying, orchids and lilies blooming, near a cottage in a rainforest up in the mountains. EG. Tagaytay in Batangas province. Baguio in Benguet.

Appreciate it while it lasts.

CHILL OUT Music experience is 2nd to the experience of nature.








These videos are 3 of many Chill-out samples. Do not relax in a warm room, it will give you headaches and worries. Relax as if nothing exists but you and nature. Detoxify yourself in a natural way.

Remember, Urban life is the worst kind of life man can have. Rural life is just the opposite, you are embraced with the music and spirit of Maia, the Mother Nature. You will know when you really experienced and imagine these stuff. Love is in the air and Happiness flies like doves. Nothing is too much for nature. Live with it. Stop what you are doing and relax. Just relax.
