Relationship observations

My YM status said:

"After chatting with people who are in a relationship, I want to immerse myself
into a romantic experimentation very soon."

All these Boyfriend and Girlfriend stuff are just experiments we are not very aware of. Adolescents are too young to go into this. Look at the cases of teenage pregnancy out there. That's a major disadvantage and can lead to a serious consequence of accepting another burden in one's life. A bigger responsibility in which we are not prepared of. OR it can also lead to the ethical dilemma of abortion.

Those people who are EMO or suffering depression and won't accept that depression as a fact of life SHOULD BE considered as cowards and weaklings, because they are too weak to combat that depression by suicide. Come on, That is not Altruistic Eros anymore, that is Suicidal Eros.

A Filipina who lives in New Zealand told me she had 11 relationships.

Now, I wrote this status in my YM. I actually had changed my mind.

"Alright! Romantic experimentation shouldn't be forced. Make it natural as a
tree growing to the sun, not the sun crashing to the trees. I will just let the
time come to me even though I see alot of people in such experiences."

I wouldn't go for the unnatural. Life is not eros alone. Life is more than that. Life is the miracle of universal harmony within the interconnections of all things.

We forgetting to live without the appreciation of oneself is more than an unexamined life. It is a loss of self-dignity and value. Suicide is UNETHICAL!

A pre-mature romantic relationship was absurd in the early 20th century and before. This absurdity gradually reversed itself to moral acceptability.

I am a product of teenage pregnancy myself. The common sense is no longer common. Without agape, this romantic experimentation can go forever. You see those actors with the cases of annullment and divorce. There is no happiness in there.

Let's face the fact that change is constant and it is indeed the universal derivative of life. A friend of mine said this:

"I guess, that's how life goes... as we grow up, we change.. the way we talk,
the way we dress, our perceptions in life, maturity, our values, and a lot
more... even your BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND.. they're changing in so many ways..
sometimes, it's hard to accept the fact the he/she really changed. sometimes,
you're happy because he/she changed."

We cannot change others unless they allow that change to happen. We can only change ourselves for the better and accept whatever comes to our possession.

So, I shall wait for it to come to me even though jealousy takes the best of me. My last note is from a Yahoogroup I joined with. They will take credit for this:

"If you love someone because you think that he or she is really gorgeous...
Then it's not love..
it's - Infatuation. ..

If you love someone
because you think that you shouldn't leave him because others think that you
shouldn't...
Then it's not love..
it's - Compromise.. .

If you
love someone because you think that you cannot live with out his touch....
Then it's not love..
it's - Lust...

If you love someone because
you have been kissed by him...
Then it's not love..
it's - Inferiority
Complex...

If you love someone because you cannot leave him thinking
that it would hurt his feelings..
Then it's not love..
it's - Charity...

If you love someone because you share every thing with him...
Then
it's not love..
it's - Friendship.. .

But if you feel the pain of
the other person more than him even when he is stable
And you cry for him..
that's - LOVE... "

Reflect, Self-enlighten and Refresh. :)

Sickly Day

Yesterday was a sickly day full of colds, coughs and anything alike, but don't worry, I wasn't H1N1 infected.

I had several intervals of resting and using my computer and all. I felt as if my nose is eternally flowing out mucous.

Now, I am eventually getting waaay much better than yesterday and the day before. I didn't go to church due to the worries of sickness spreading.

I am spending my time with my computer this weekend. Mainly on the net. I am recently addicted with the Facebook quizzes and chatting with some new people.

I will make sure to get in the college by tom, otherwise, they will throw me back home.

I stumbled upon something new. I am now curious about the relationship of geographical distance and the power of love. This may be useful in the future.

Somehow, with all the dialogues I had with alot people regarding love and relationships, I guess, I am wishing now to be in one. I want to experience romantic experimentation. I observed it through the experience of others, but not myself.

Even virtual romantic relationship will do. I actually feel weak with the absence of my new friends.

Whatever comes, I shall accept it as part of my responsibility in the balance of life and death.

I am living in a world of philosophical confusion where no unity exists.

A Death of another Grand Musical Archetype: Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson (1958-2009) was a man of talent and a man of abuse. But let's give him credit for the invention of Pop as everyone says, He is the KING OF POP.

He died on the age of 50 in his Los Angeles home with cardiac arrest. He best-selling album is "Thriller". For remembrance to the great king, let his legacy go on forever.




GOD BLESS YOU! He has joined with Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and other dead Genre-legends.

Waste of time, energy and money AND the glory of friendship

Yesterday, I had went to school only for ethics class but it turns out that the teacher had FORGOTTEN our class. Probably, he forgot to put our class in his sched.

Today, was my Art Appreciation class and again, it was moved to 7am to 8:30am slot. It is not the fault of students to miss these classes, we aren't informed. Being misinformed is better that being uninformed at all.

3 hours of Art Appreciation
1.5 hours of Economics (Class suspension on Friday due to general cleaning of the school)
1.5 hours of Ethics
were wasted this week.

I was with my 2 friends. 1 weirdo and 1 sweet lady. Their names are JE and Jedi. JE happened to have this mentality of KSP. It is very difficult to understand him. The strangest thing happened to me in front of a girl. I ordered 2-piece burger steak in Jollibee and he ate most of my meal using the same utensils I used and the straw for the large drink. I consider that a taboo, but I consider it as part of my fault, because I tolerated it. He just wants attention. It is the same guy whom I with during last Summer in Rizal Class. Gosh! Maybe, I should be a bit harsher on him next time. Most of the psychology students misunderstood him as my Nursing friends misunderstood me. Somehow, he can create a comedic scenario in school. Like trying to influence me that a girl somewhere out there likes me or something. JE considers himself as a relationship pragmatist. Pragmatism is practicality of things.

He is so proud to have a mental disorder, that he tells everyone. Somehow people misjudge other people by the attitude and judge them with their heart. Why can't we accept him for whohe is? We cannot accept him for who he is if we don't accept ourselves for who we are. That's the deficit of self-confidence.

Well, at least he has his own group of friends. :) That's what matters.

Now, enough of the weirdo. I will not say he has no manners but I can say that he can also take material things in front of you. He got my Nito ring.

THE GLORY OF FRIENDSHIP

Now, Jedi (Pronounced as Je-Deeh) is one of my true friends I see trust and loyalty in. I can sense that greatful innocence in her. Even an introvert like her knows what friendship really is. She is that type who rather wants to be alone then have hundreds of friends by her side.

I finally can experience the truth of friendship because all my life, loneliness has dominated me. I am crying right now for this righteous decision to be friends with someone for real. I rather have 5 to 8 friends than 50 or so. I was wishing and waiting for these moments to come and yet they have arrived.

Another friend I mentioned about is a girl named Celine. I mentioned about her in my other post on the Self-image reflection on other people.

Through my understanding of body language, I can admit that these 2 ladies really do accept me for who I really am. Friendship is composed with LOYALTY and TRUST plus the essentials of ALTRUISM and RESILIENCE.

"It is difficult to win a friend in a year, it is easy to offend one in an hour."

Jedi is a lady who is quiet in the beginning since she has to adjust to the new environment, and yet I think she will be able to be confident to know the Psych people.

Not only with these ladies but I can be concerned with other people well. Even when they are down, I can comfort with what efforts I have.

Helping yourself is also helping others, Personal responsibility is that you are responsible for what ever you do, say, hear, see, taste, think in your whole entire life. Even it affects other people.

Let me conclude with this:

"If a person is understood, accepted and respected, he will grow as a person. But understanding is deeper than knowledge. There are many people who know us, but very few who understand us. Understanding is more of the heart than of the mind."

The few people whom I consider as understanding are some of the psych students, as I see it now. But surely, it can be expanded to the whole course, because this friendship thingy is actually a lesson on Social Psychology. :)

It's very worthy to be with them, even in the verge of a pandemic, weather disruptions and other calamities. We stay STRONG TOGETHER AS ONE! Thank you.

Discussion Recording Method

I would like to promote a new method of educational listening. Something additional.

The Discussion Recording Method is a method which we use recorders to record on what the teacher is saying. Every intricate detail will be included clearly but it depends on what recorder you are using. In some ways, Recording is a great way to praise the lessons well. Everything will be left in the recorders.

A great example are the physics classes of Professor Leonard Susskind of Standford University in Youtube. That is a very high-tech recording. However, we will still need ballpens and papers, though. This method doesn't face-out ballpens or papers.

I wish educators can understand what I am trying to imply here. Thank You.

Pandora

PANDORA
By: Kyle Victor Jose

Pandora! Why did you open this box?
The box which leads to famine.
To the death of all.
To the destruction of all things.
To the disgrace of humanity.

Live long and embrace the currents.
Push away hatred and see the lights.
Jump into paradise and suffer no more.
Hell is on Earth and deal with the consequences.
I see a candlelight of hope rising to the atmosphere.

Oh! Pandora, why did you open this box?
Life before this, was happiness.
Life right now, is Earthly damnation.
Life after this, will be inhumane barbarianism.
Don't drown in the sea of depression.

Don't look!, People, Don't look!
Catastrophes dominate that box.
Chaos is the source of that box.
Enigmatic phenomena is against that box.
Evil is the end of that box.

Never forget History took its place.
Shalln't forgotten forever,
In the couragous hearts of men
And the passionate hearts of women.

The Sword of life
Destroys the boundaries of inhumanesss
And restore the manifestation of nature
PANDORA! Close that BOX!

Die with faith!
Die with dignity!
Die with justice!
Die with morality!
Die with conscience!
Die for the best cause!
Die in the most graceful way!

Death of Neda Agha-Soltan

I am absolutely disgusted and outraged when I saw the graphic videos of her death. The Iranian revolutionary forces killed her and she only went out for a silent protest, because her vote wasn't counted.




She is reportedly to die on the hands of her father, but actually, it is confirmed that it was her music teacher. She is known to be the angel of Iran. Oh! Neda, Where ever you are, The truth will always be hidden with this kind of people around. Don't worry.

I see no reason that peaceful activism is a cause for recklessness. I swear that the Iranian hypocrisy and arrogance will always be the same treating their people like the victims of the European Goths. Should I say, that the Iranian Government was, is and will never be the Government of Allah but the Government of uncivilized barbarians. Islamic extremists are Anti-Koran, Anti-Allah and Anti-Islamic, therefore, they can be considered as Pseudomuslims.

That soul is the symbol of collective power against injustice. We can never find inner peace in this environment of war.

Extension of the Havens

smartteaser.tumblr.com - this is my 2nd existing blog named "Extension of the Havens."

This will be more of a multimedia blog for me. It is different because that is Tumblr not Blogger. Anyways, Pls. visit here also. TY.

Weirdness of MDC

Today, I experienced that the MDC administrators are trying to create an intense scenario of panicking, by putting on useless face masks. I know that H1N1 is just right on the corner but you see, the students are less responsible of taking care of themselves (that includes me).

Some students are happy for a suspension but they have no idea what consequences would cost their time, their money and their education.

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20090615-210649/Face-masks-pose-health-risk-too----expert

"She said masks could trap dirt that could be harmful to humans. She noted that even medical practitioners would sanitize their hands before handling the masks and putting them on and would dispose of the masks after use.
"But sometimes, people would wear it all day, put it in their pockets and then use it again," she said. "What if it [mask] already has virus?""

They are making things worse and want to let the visitors know that there are cases of such inside the school. I dare not want to see the school name in the news. There is no reason to panic at all. Self-quarantine at home is the best place.

This is a community effort. "The fault of one is the fault of all."

Commonalities

I have a virtual twin named Verlie whom I share 30+ characteristics with. Today, I met someone who is my classmate in 2 classes which are for the 2nd year students. I share 4 similar characteristics with her. Quickly, I am beginning to know her. A start of a new friendship. Also, in the same class, a student recently shifted from nursing in the same school happened to be my classmate in 3 of my 4 classes. I too want to know her more by making her more comfortable with the new environment.

We all have self-images. Here is an excerpt on self-images from one of the simpliest psychology sites in the web:

"To create the mental symbol we use to represent each person we consider to be very similar to ourselves, we begin with our self-symbol and then modify it to create a unique symbol for each of our close friends. For each acquaintance that is more distant from our own self image, we modify the symbol we have for them more from our self-symbol. This is illustrated on the left where our self is in the center, our closest friends each have individual symbols very much like our own, and our more distant acquaintances have similar, but increasingly different symbols. This is represented here by the differences in the color of the more distant symbols. For strangers, or people we do not want to be associated with, we may not begin with our self-symbol, but instead use the symbol for someone else we also distance ourselves from. The result is that the symbols for close friends are very similar to our own, and the symbols for people we do not identify with are quite different."

Differences of Acquaintance, close friend and intimate friend

Acquaintance

"As we get to know more about an acquaintance we develop an increasingly complete and complex mental symbol for that person. However, there is a limit to how well we ever know the other person. There are limits to how much time we will spend together and there are various boundaries limiting what we will ask, what we will tell, and what we are willing to learn about each other. Because these boundaries limit the information exchange, the information we gather is incomplete and the symbol we are able to create for the acquaintance is necessarily incomplete. Because the symbol is incomplete it remains significantly different from your self-symbol."

Close Friendship

"We know more about our close friends than we do about acquaintances. The amount of time we spend together, the number and nature of interactions and common experiences we share, the interest we have in learning more about each other, and our willingness to share more information all help us create a more complete symbol for our close friends."

Intimate relationship

"Intimacy takes this information sharing to the next level. During an intimate relationship we feel safe enough to expose and discuss our vulnerabilities and secrets. This additional information allows us to create a more complete symbol for an intimate partner. Also, because of the completeness of the symbol and also because the people we choose to become intimate with typically share many of our characteristics, the symbol we create becomes very similar to our self-symbol. This illustrated in the figure by the significant overlap of the two symbols. We feel empathy for people we become intimate with. "

Source: http://www.emotionalcompetency.com/self.htm

In short, the more commonalities 2 people have, the more close they get and the more they know and understand each other making themselves like twins. That's the advantage of knowing people like you. But the only disadvantage is that, you are becoming less unique superficially but the uniquness of a personality lies in the essence of a personality. You get to know alot with each other that you share many common characteristics that you tend to ignore the facets of the other person's problems unless they recognize it themselves.

If you have seen "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you what you are". This is true since, your friends are other-person reflections of who you are and vice versa.


So, let the mirrors rise as intimacy grows! :)

Educational Psychology, Ethics and Economics subjects

Today, after reading the Self-confidence book, the information kinda sinks into my subconsciousness. I am not sure if this behavior is temporary though, but I didn't feel nervous anymore today. Well, anyways, I finally felt glorified to get close and know some Psych students for starters. It really seems that I ain't the only student who transfered from nursing. There is 1 I know of. She is shy in the beginning and she will hopefully be able to get along with others soon.

Educational Psychology is my 1st major stepping stone into my psychology course. It is an experience of academic appraisal and involvement.

Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior caused by past experiences for the sake of future applications.

I will be able to cope with their teaching strategies. Who said I can't? Right?

With all I care, the new teachers I am experiencing with, this now, are all gentlemen and they are all great gentlemen with dignified experiences. The Ed Psych teacher is a Clinical Psychologist, Ethics and Art App teachers are philosophers and my other teacher is the only lady whom I've experienced with when I was in BSN-II-03 1st sem.

Ethics is the study of human morality. The teacher is a Elvis Presley fashion guy. He sounds foreign. Thank GOD that he is a Platonic-Aristotelian philosopher. Hail to the GREEKS!!!!

Economics is the proper allocation and efficient use of available resources for the maximum satisfaction of human wants.

The teacher in this subject is quite strict but I got used to her already. She is teaching the Social Sciences subjects. She taught Politics, Governance and Constitution last year.

These teachers and subjects, including Art App can create a meaningful and significant appreciation in this 1st semester.

I've felt the comfortability of adapting with other people today. The BS Psych students are amazingly different. This intrisic motivational enthusiasm will push me up to whatever offers me to do.

Remember this: Friends and Psychologists are different. When a person has a problem, he consults his friend. His friend is biased and may have the exactly the same problem. Things WILL get worse because a friend gives "Advice". The truth hurts and the friend does not tell the truth therefore it is a misguided, biased and unjust opinion. It is a spoonfeeding phenomenon. We will never learn how to solve our own problems from an advice, unless we look into our authentic self.

When the same person consults a psychologist, the psychologist has professional background and experience on this. A psychologist is just and balanced in opinion. They are the "professional guides of problematic people". They ENLIGHTEN by bringing the lost-minded person back into the correct road he is heading. Enlighten by inspiring and influencing others is the best road of enlightenment, because no one can force you to do something you hate or you want. You control yourself not others controlling you.

I have learned the basics of this lesson from my Ed. Psych teacher but I have expanded on the rest, through my wisdom.

Self-help references

I have bought 2 wonderful self-help books that will help me understand myself in today's world better.

1) How to be Self-Confident
2) How to Simplify your Love

I am reading the Self-confident book now. I am actually half-way into the book and it really discusses about shyness in a detailed and a simple way. I will tell you more when I am done with it.

Well, Tom. is Father's day. I will spend more time with my dad (especially during Jeremy's therapy). It is time to not go fictious but stay in the reality not surrealism. GODSPEED and Stay simple.

The love of country, the hatred of countrymen

Earlier, my dad and I were conversing about the depression that the Philippines will never go to the state of economic resurrection in the 2nd world and 1st world country districts.

He adores the country as the state but will never adore its countrymen. I kept on agreeing with him on this issue. He wants to reside in Canada and be a naturalized Canadian. I even joked on the Philippines in Dante's Inferno. Even in the 10 circle of hell, Beyond Lucifer, which is unimaginable.

But somehow, how can we be enlightened if we grow apathetically as a Filipino? He just gave me a motivation to be a dissident of the Philippines. We can never be enlightened if we do not know and understand the undeniable circumstantial quintessence of agape in the archipelagic iota of Filipino misanthropy.

Still, I am proud to be a Filipino by culture and history only. The rest is a shame of darkness. He said that "Africa and others have better chances to evolve than the Philippines." In the degree of the impossible re-direction of such, I have to disagree that there is a candlelight of hope in the "needle-haystack" situation.

Revocation or the abandonment of citizenship means the breaking of the sword of hope. It gets worse if everyone abandons their citizenship, because "Population" is an element of the state. Without the people, there is no state. So, there will be 80 million displaced Filipinos, over populating the rest of the world.

I must say that negligence, hypocrisy, corruption, arrogance and the negativities exercised in the behavior of the Filipinos are learnt behaviors. Everything is possible.

Actually, the population is a reflection of the state. Let's look it like this: Philippines is the Person and the People are the organs, collectively.

An abandonment of citizenship for the sake of depression is equivalent to suicide. This is Nationalistic Suicide.

If the People abandon their citizenship, the Philippines will get sicker and sicker and eventually die as a state. This is in collective context.

If every country does this, where will we go? You, see? This is the climax of Negative thinking. Will we also give up our life? Now, that is a different story.

Think about it, Negative thinking of one's state is directly contradictory to universal enlightenment. This is the gap of agape, we must fill in. Thank YOU.

IRANIAN ELECTION CHAOS!

First comes H1N1, second comes North Korea, third comes Con-ass and finally fourth comes Iran.


Iran, Iran, Iran. The place of Ancient Persians. I honestly see the horrid disgrace in the suffrage. So, unethical to see such. Mahmoud Ahmedinajad and his opponent and the supports are rambling like ants searching for somekind of radical activism.

Riots, rallies all over Tehran could mean something deadly for the Iranians. If I were an Iranian right now, I would do the same as others. I would be a Justice Advocate. I supporter of Human Rights.

Re-election is the best option to calm down such people. Nevertheless, I do not really care about this since it is an internal affair of the Iranians. I would care only if this mayhem escalates into the international level.

School Affairs

Yesterday was a great day, but I have noticed a grand change of schedule without prior notice that prompt me to add 2 new subjects and miss a class last Monday.

The new subjects are Economics and Educational Psychology (Advanced Major).

Even though Educational Psychology has pre-requisites, the Psych dept. coordinator offered me to enroll this to test if I am capable of it (I am excited to experience Psychology for the 1st time.)

Now, I have 4 subjects, 12 units and 5 days per week this semester.


My first class was about Art Appreciation with the 3rd year students. I am impressed on the teacher from Negros.

He is am interested with the teacher. He revealed what trivias are made in art. I am very excited to tackle the 3 fields of art (Music, Dance, Theater/Cinema). He was a member of the Ateneo Swimming team not too long ago. He is teaching Philosophy of man, Logic and Theology.
He revealed how much top-rating celebrities earn just by doing nothing.

I no longer relied on first impressions because it creates a fusion of biases.

Speaking of 3rd year students, almost all of them are girls. Now, I am very curious to know and understand them. Socialization in the oasis of education.

Nevertheless, I will be spending my classes with the 2nd year students also. At least 4 is better than 2 or 3. :) CHEERS!

The Horror of North Korea and the preparation for School

Today, North Korea itself has definitely and finally told the world that

"North Korea "is completely within the range of U.S. nuclear attack and the Korean peninsula is becoming an area where the chances of a nuclear war are the highest in the world," it said."

Source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090614/ap_on_re_as/as_koreas_nuclear

The Korean war technically is still on going. The very same Korean war a long time ago. I knew long ago that we would go into this pathway. I explained this pathway on my post dated April 8, 2009 - http://epistemus.blogspot.com/2009/04/us-sanctions-north-korea-for-un.html

The questions asked should be:
1) What are the motivations of NK on pursuing nuclear development?
2) What are the reasons why NK go on with nuclear development?
3) Why would NK defy the UN?
4) Why wouldn't NK blame themselves for their actions?
5) What are the intentions of that nuclear development?
6) Why would NK want war?

The best policy to follow is the diplomatic policy in dealing with other states. However, if NK continues to be defiant against the rest of the world, there will have to be a emergency meeting in the UN. This is ultimately all power-play. NK just wants power, and has a desire of international conquest. I can consider that NK is the most-biased and the most-closed minded state in the world.

Think of every state in the world as people. Let's say Mr. NK is defending his actions against the other people for some problems. NK is saying "If you get closer to me, I will destroy you all." Mr. US is being so alarmed and he is saying "Whoa! Calm down there, We will still remain against you unless you surrender your forces." NK- "I will never surrender, I will continue with my Nuclear programs." Mr. China, Mr. Russia has started to go against NK saying "Boy! This guy must be nuts." Mr. South Korea (SK) and Mr. Japan are saying "HELP! We wouldn't not want a fight. Darn NK! You have to re-think yourself". All of them turned to UN except NK for help. UN has a decision against NK as it warns NK for his activities. UN in this case is like the police. But NK has nuclear weapon. The ending stays open until there is action with the community of states.

So, that is the scenario we are facing now.

Enough of NK. Let's go to School affairs.

Few weeks ago I enrolled for just 2 subjects this semester: (Ethics and Art Appreciation). 3 hours for 2 days (Tuesday and Thursday) which is 6 hours a week in the morning alone. So, to use my time wisely, I have decided to go into extra-curricular activities. My load this year is imbalanced because this is a light load of subjects with the total of 6 units. I think 1 unit = 1 hour.
If I will be having a load of 6 subjects next sem, I will be having 18 units. How unequal is that? The Justice lady may brake her Libra already. LOL

Now, I am into a different pathway, I will no longer mind my nursing acquaintances unless there is a reason for such. I am accepting the rockiness of the road I will be facing.

I will make myself suitable for this new-classmate environment. This is a new period for me. I am already predicting who my teachers will be. LOL

Now, I am kinda considering myself as a Agnostic Catholic. Let Carpe Diem dominate my time. I will try to establish a discipline of strict time management, but the problem is I am a fellow procrastinator and a subconscious advocate of ningas cogon. What the HELL! It is easier said than done.

Randomized expressionisms

Right now, I am not feeling too well. If I have a webcam with a built-in mic, I would make a Video Blog instead. It is more natural than typing. Youtube, wherever you are, I will make my videos. A desire of individual expressionism.

Last night, I suddenly realized that my asthma has returned and I found out that my recent diarrhea are the adverse effects of me taking Amoxcillin against my cough. I had plans to go back to Sucat but now, I am not because I realized that I may get sicker and possibly get that virus in me.

Now, my cousins will be going to Los Angeles this Tuesday. Paternal cousins consisting the Choi's. I will type my message for them tom.

I have finally met someone virtually who has a similar self-image as mine. We share 21 common characteristics and yet there is still more to come. I never experienced this virtual intimacy before. Her name is Verlie and I am glad that she is one of them.

I have been spending my time with my Compie who is my MGF (Mechanical Girlfriend) which is my computer. Sometimes I really do get frustrated at it because it freezes, it loses data because of some unsaved text. Automatic restart isn't good. I love my MGF but it doesn't like me back. I don't know why.

Recently, I have alot of favorites in my youtube account. My youtube account is Kythos. I am a subscriber of alot of youtubers. Somehow, I got myself into a admiring compliment mood for some users. I tend to get flirtatious with them. I am not a sociophobe but a sociophile. My lack of personal friendship with others has been diverted to the so-call World Wide Web through Compie.

The hotness of the Manileño spirit has pulled my energy away from alot of motivations in this world. I am lost in a certain fantasy called change. Change is an eternal process or constancy. A deviation of distance in this world.

I may not be like me tom. We shall never know. We are neurologically unpredictable. Ciao!

Hail to the Philippine Independence and DIE H1N1

Yesterday, June 12, 2009 was the 111th year Anniversary of the declaration of Philippine Independence from Hispanic colonization.

111 years ago, Gen. Emilo Aguinaldo y Famy declared independence on the 2nd floor window of his house in Kawit, Cavite. No, he didn't declare it in his balcony, since there wasn't any balcony then. I would owe my allegiance to this nation for its honorable history and culture.













Viva Compadres! Things would be different if we weren't colonized by Spain or the US. That Philippines would be very far from this Philippines.

As far as everyone is concerned H1N1 is now a Pandemic as declared by WHO. Welcome to the great Influenza Pandemia everyone.

MABUHAY!!!!

HR 1109: The Thrust of Philippine Political Immaturity and other issues

HR 1109 is a resolution of the House of Representatives calling for Constituent Assembly (Con-Ass) without any senatorial intervention.

The government is basically have a desire to fluctuate between presidential and parliamentary forms of government. Charter Change (Cha-Cha)- is amending the constitution.

The reason why the opposition ain't for cha-cha these days because there are alot of suspicions that they don't trust the administration no more. Like, extension of the term of the incumbent officials and the possibility of no elections (Which the Comelec (Commission on Elections) affirmed that there WILL BE elections).

I mean, look at this! Is this what you call Philippine Republicanism?

It is an outrage to see the government going against the Filipino's freewill as a people. I guess, we are amongst the most politically immature nations in the world, which is a shame. Yes. Politically IMMATURE! Why? Because those hypocritical legislators and administrators always focus on competition and on the concept of administration and opposition but never as 1 single state. Let me add that the people are unaware that they voted for someone whom they hate. WHAT THE HECK! Vote for someone whom they hate in the future.

I Present to you House Resolution 1109:

House Resolution No. 1109

Publish at Scribd or explore others: Business & Law taxes customs

We are in the precursor of a possible coup 'etat or a people power. Even Students demonstrate their voice in UP Diliman. The Makati rally stood together as one but would-be infected by H1N1 due to the gathering of crowds.

After all, the Philippines never did learn her lesson from the US during the American Occupation on governance. What is a DEMOCRACY?

DEMOCRACY- A government in which the supreme power is held by the people.

So, who is the people? The Filipinos. So, finally, Philippine democracy does NOT exist anymore. Because us Filipinos are against our government.

GOVERNMENT- It refers to the agency through which the will of the state is formulated, expressed and carried out.

The government are our representatives of the state. The will of the state now is to voice the intentions of the people. It turns out the government as turned against the will of the state defeating the purpose of democracy and governance.

Our last hope is to sue the state WITH it's consent.

Art. XVI, Sec.3. - The State may not be sued without its consent.

Art. II, Sec. 4. - The prime duty of the Government is to serve and protect the people. The Government may call upon the people to defend the State and, in the fulfillment thereof, all citizens may be required, under conditions provided by law, to render personal military or civil service.

Art. II Sec. 21. - The State shall promote comprehensive rural development and agrarian reform

Now, in this case, CARP or Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program was expired last December. It was originally expired on June 2008 but was extended to December 2008. Recently, there were rallies by the farmers like the Sumulong Farmers to pass the CARPER (CARP with Extension and Reforms). The congressmen are too busy dealing with Cha-Cha instead of CARPER. They have to set their priorities correctly. http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20090610-209646/Bicam-approves-5-year-CARP-extension - Finally, CARPER is approved.

So meaning we had 5 months without CARP! CARP was originally planned in the Constitution. The "Shall" of that section was violated by that intentional hiatus of passing that bill.

Let me conclude that we are not yet ready to be a 2nd world country. We do not know how to take care of our state and our nation very well. Look at the alarming statistics if you want to know. We would end up like our Thai counterparts.

This is why I am NOT proud to be a Filipino Politically. I would even blame our countrymen and myself for such acts of tolerance. Thank You.

P.S. (06/11/09): No more blaming. Be positive. Do what you think can help the Philippines and its government to be a better state. Make a difference.

French-sponsored Eco-documentary: HOME

This is the trailer of a 1:33 eco-documentary directed by a French man named Yann Arthus-Bertrand in cooperation of PRR

This is the Website of HOME: http://www.home-2009.com/us/index.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_(documentary)

It is narrated by Glenn Close

The following Youtube link is the HD version of the documentary itself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU&fmt=18

If you want to watch it with subtitles, just click the lowest right button and click "cc". I am RECOMMENDING you to watch this documentary, it is fantastic.

Personal Reaction:

This documentary has gave me insights on what would the world be like if we are to continue disregard the harmony of life in this unique unit of ecosystem. I will never give up nature just for the sake of non-sustainable economic development. "It's too late to be a pessimist". I am kinda shocked when I heard about the melting of the Siberian permafrost which will release Methane (CH3) which is 20 times stronger than CO2.

The global economy is now in a deep recession and we are still continue to develop technology for the sake of humanity not of nature. I will leave the rest of the message to the documentary. You will know why, we are in an urgent situation.

If I were to compare this to Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, this docu has a better chance than IT. Why? IT is overloaded with Statistics while this is more on the effects, the processes and the unity and the symphony of natural co-existence. Let me add the impact of the effects of global warming on different landscapes of our HOME.

H1N1 in DLSU

Finally, I am quite near to this beast already. It is now at De La Salle University at Taft Avenue in Manila. 2 students are confirmed for this case.

It is highly likely, that Dengue fever and H1N1 will be our enemies this year. Since I am from Malate, There is like 30% probability of H1N1 coming to Malate.

Why am I not scared of this virus as I was before? Probably the alertness of this virus has been tamed down in international journalism. But I have the colds now and the monsoon is acting up so, I my resistance may be low when I come contact with H1N1 which I hope not.

The time of self-quarantine is near. Alcohol and face mask are insufficent defenses for our health so, always remember that the best way to prevent disease dispersion is frequent and effective handwashing (not to the point of OCD handwashing.)

HELLO? Utopia will never meet our standards unless the whole of humanity shall change into a more beneficial attitude towards life as a whole unit.

Name meanings

Fellows, Here are the meanings of my names.

Kyle- My aunt's Husband, Sir Mark Choi, named me after the character from the Terminator 1, Kyle Reese who tried to save Sarah Connor the father of John Connor, the Head of the resistance against Skynet.

Well, the meaning is

" It is of Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "narrow, straight". Place name that refers either to a narrow body of water between two land masses, or to a peninsula or isthmus."

It is actual a unisexual name. It can be used for Males and Females alike.

Victor- I am named after my late paternal grandfather Lt. Gen. Victor Arizabal Mayo and my late guardian Victor Vanzi. My 1st cousin Joseph Victor Mayo Choi is named too after my grandfather. Therefore, I am the 3rd one in the known family to have a Victor in his name excluding my guardian.

"It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "champion". A very popular saint's name common in Christian Rome, as was the female form Victoria."

Jose- Is my surname, which is also my mother's maiden name, before she was married to her husband, Ronald Renolla.


Counterfactual Thinking (CT):
1) If I were to be born within a married family, my name will then be, Kyle Victor J. Mayo
2) If I were to be born outside a married family, and should there also be a middle name or initial, my name will then be, Kyle Victor N. Jose

Now, according to my birth certificate, my 1st names are Kyle Victor and my surname is Jose.
Is there any way I can pursue the 2nd option of the CT?


Was there even a law being born without a middle initial in the Philippines? There are many unanswered questions. My father is offering me for a surname change through due process. From Jose to Mayo, to cover my identity with my Father's side. Is CT#1 still possible?


I think I better stick with this name instead because the change of name is the change of identity and it may be too confusing and too expensive. Let me think about this for a while.

Reflection of treatment on the individual with the relation of the future

"If you treat an individual as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be." --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I believe in this reflection. The past creates a certain future that's intended to be. In counterfactual thinking, we people think about the "What If's" of this world and surprisingly, there are millions of alternative presents and futures of time. It always lies in the individual's personal responsibility and his/her attitude towards these situations.

Like, if you are a very strict parent not letting your children enjoy life as it should be and give him/her extreme punitive treatment even for the slightest attempt of disobedience. This person will have a very high chance of having a very introverted, anxious, fearful, egotistic personality suffering from trauma. S/He might not be able to socialize for this fear might be applied with other people.

This means that the past is the foundation of the present and the future. It is impossible to change the past (Only if you have an authentic time travel machine :) LOL) so, the only way for you to cope up with it, is to acknowledge and accept it as part of your life.

External force is social influence. Everyone can be influenced unless they are closed-minded, then they are immune to this influence.

I apologize for my unannounced short hiatus
