What is your New Year's Resolution?
I have a long list. One of them is to lose weight and maintain it, so I would have less cardiovascular diseases like hypertension.

What did you want to "escape" BS Nursing?
I wanted to escape BS Nursing because I was overwhelmed with the stresses required and I had self-doubt when it came to skills for I know one day, I can injure someone accidentally which can have some horrendous repercussions. Also, I found the CI's (Clinical Instructors), too demanding, too strict and overexpecting and somehow demotivating, even though I studied in one of the best nursing schools in the country. What concerned me the most, is the nursing process itself. When I found out about the nursing process, I was stunned. It's very long.and has to be carefully made, because if you have one mistake, you're dead. This is the soul of Nursing and if that is so, then I was out of there. I then realized that psychology was really meant for me. There were many signs pushing me into psychology.
What's the worst things you've said/done to an immediate family member this year?
Now, I don't think I did or said a bad thing to them.
What do you look forward to in the new year?
Basically, some improvements in my life. There will always be hope because if you are hopeful, you will believe that something good will happen and that's the sign of optimism. If you are despairful (Hopeless), you will doubt that something good will happen and that's the sign of pessimism.

Poetic Justice in the Academia
I am truthful and not afraid when I say that we don't necessarily learn anything in school nowadays. Students are disappointed since grades are more important than the learning itself, in the academia. I would encourage professors to become open-minded, become humble and not resort into pessimism.
I would describe school, like Nagasaki on the verge of being bombed by an Atomic bomb. We were demotivated as I see that critical thinking and deep learning are not on our priority list. Someone in our class said that "We should encourage ourselves". Now, I don't know where we can get that energy of encouragement.
I rather become schizophrenic than studying schizophrenia. Welcome to the inferno of education where time and energy is wasted and frustrations erupt like Pinatubo and where students worship the numerical deities named "Grades", the gods and goddesses of education. The teachers are the fuel of those deities.
I am starting to see that the college is like a canvas for the Dadaists to work on. It is very true. Teachers point academic guns on us not for the sake of learning but for the sake of gaining grades.
For a very long time, I have been a wonderful critic of education. I will be a mentor one day, and I swear to the best of my being, not to be a 1-star or 2-star teacher, but a 5-star teacher. Having titles like MA or Ph.D. does not guarantee competent teaching or fruitful delivery of lessons. That's proven by one of my professors, indirectly.
I am just saddened by how teachers and students are treated by the college. The saying is true, when you say "You cannot please everyone.", but then it seems like the college is doing this in purpose. Business, is the root of the game where people thrive in a legacy with less worth than themselves. They are creatures of indignation.
The beauty is still there in front us, it is just that we are blinded by disgust.
I shall therefore quote Mr. John Keating from the Movie "Dead Poets Society" to end this post:
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"

Hello there! Why BS Psychology? :)
Hi! BS Psychology is my 2nd course in the sense of shifting from another course. I have 4 reasons:
1) To escape from BS Nursing
2) Because I have realized that I belong to this kind of field
3) As Socrates said "To know Thyself"
4) And to know and understand other people. .

Gregorian, because their music play magnificent cover music of other songs. It is the pseudo-Gregorian chant style of music that makes me like them. :)

The miracle of hugging.
Hugging other people is when our hearts are at their closest. It gives a great feeling of acceptance, of affection, of love and of appreciation. It is an act of compassion where we magnify our feelings in the presence of others just so we know that we are not alone. It is one of the best things that can happen in human relationships. It is a booster of trust and security. It is passion I would like to develop since it has many health benefits. It is an act that is never regrettable or condemnable.
Hugging promotes many things that are good. It is a sign where those whom we really care and concerned for they will not leave us. It is a 2 way act. Well, it can be more than 2 ways. This is when we have discovered their importance in our lives. There is no room for hatred here because this act justifies the intersubjectivity of human existence at its best. It makes us feel very special and precious to all. It is the jewelry of relationships in physical terms. Nothing can replace this because it is the best thing in the world to compensate for our loneliness.
This can be a wonderful hobby. It is the most extensive kind of body contact. We can totally feel others with the sense of touch. We can cry our feelings out at that particular moment. We can really cry just for being grateful for their way of concerning us. We can apologize at this very moment of forgiveness. It completely summarizes the worth of our individuality, our integrity and our dignity as fellow human beings. It is a simple gesture of existential gratification with total authentic intentions to connect. It is the fuel of positive energy where we can really be encouraged expressing our feelings, our emotions to its fullest since we can really feel safe.
There are times when we don't want to let go and there are times when hugging is one of the best moments of our lives. We can really feel supported if hugging happens in a social support group. It is the moment when all arguments are silenced as they don't want to fight anymore.
Hugging softens our hearts and if this happens frequently, we not only become humble, but we learn to really connect with others and we can really learn to appreciate life very well, because these people are valuable, important and special.
If you want to hug others, you will be hugged by others. If you don't want to hug others, you wont get a hug. Apply Newton's 3rd law of motion to this principle. This is when we can become fully ourselves in the presence of other people. It is the most used act for people who haven't seen each other and who really do miss each other. It is an act of gratitude and of return to a greater sate.
Touching is the most widely used of senses. The skin is the largest organ in the human body. No matter what happens, no matter what we do, now matter what our attitude is, we should hug other people, because we will definitely see their true importance to us when they will be gone. That's a true fact and we should not take advantage of this fact.
Yes, I would like to hug other people. Maybe I can be one of those people who can make a "Free Hug Sign". That would be wonderful. It is truly authentic and natural. It is even better than hugging a tree. I would be very proud to be a hugger for all. :) So, feel other people.
(This came from my diary entry of November 7, 2010. I wrote this when I was in my dad's house then. )
So, to end this post, I will give you a hug. >:)< (I think this is the emoticon. LOL!!!)
Have a good day!

What subject do you think is most-likely to be the most significant to the world and why?
Philosophy is most likely to be most significant, because it deals with inquiries, discerning, refuting and postulating about everything happening in the universe, in the cognitive aspect. It is simply what makes the world more than the world itself.

MAHAL MO BA AKO? :)))))))))))
Anonymous people would say things that they wouldn't say with their identities attached. So, I am confused.
Do you have courage to start a relationship though from the very start, you know that it won't last? Encouraging words please.
Not as of the moment. I think friendships are very hard to attain, unless you have the skills. I might as well play hide-and-seek with these people, instead.
Here are my encouraging words for a romantic relationship: A romantic relationship will contain both the best and the worst moments in ones life. Be aware on what you are about to experience. Don't take the relationship seriously as if it is your life's top priority. Speak out and express yourself in order to prevent conflicts founded on misunderstandings. The more deeply engaged you are in a relationship, the more painful it will be when you part away with a heart break. If you think, the emotional pain is worth it, then, go for it, if not, don't.

Why doesn't McDonald's sell hotdogs?
Because they are too busy selling the burgers, fries, and other products which will not spoil and stay the same for perhaps more than 12 years.
your philosophy in life originated from socrates, my fave philosopher!
Oh! That's great! Yes, he has started Ancient Greek Philosophy which really makes sense, after the era of the Sophists, like Thales of Miletus. He's wonderful.
fame or wealth?
Wealth, so that I can not only help myself, but to help other people in a form of donations and probably volunteerism.
kisses or hugs?
Hugs. Why? I will write about this in my blog. But for now, I will write one sentence about it: "Hugging other people is when our hearts are at their closest."

The start of a social renaissance
For almost 2 months, 2 ladies captivated me with their character in life and the similarities of qualities. They are psychology students from my school and in essence I saw a wonderful future with them, most particularly the Queen of the Great Blue Rose.
Let's just call the Queen of the Great Blue Rose: Queen Rosalinda.
She currently dominates my diaries as I began writing about her last month. I gained great interest over the past month. I saw enlightenment and grace in her being. Queen Rosalinda is an introvert with innumerable great qualities. Her insights are very sensible, even though they are questionable, but these insights are mainly her opinions, which I thought are convictions. Queen Rosalinda is so contemplative and somehow mysterious to all that she chose to be private most of the time. She claims that the blue rose is the positivity in her life despite the negativity on this world. She is very interesting to know and understand.
The more I got interested in her, the more I tend to visualize what kind of friendship would be in store for us, the stronger my intentions for the friendship to develop. Divine providence even made me realize the worth of this friendship. The friendship of truth and genuinity. Note that 99% happened virtually and it is still happening. I have envisioned that this could be my first great friendship with the enormity of Noah's Flood. I assured her that I will be sympathetic with her in all aspects and I know that she will realize that this friendship will mean everything to me. This doesn't mean that I am replacing others, it just means that I would like to experience something I was always deprived to do due to insecurities, anxieties and fears. It is a milestone for a socially inept person like me.
What I like about Rosalinda is everything. She can impress people by her means of clear expression. She can impress people with her speech-like messages. I also call her "The Epitome of Encouragement." She has the ability to encourage people, she has changed my perceptions of what a public school is like. She has been a leader for a lot of times.
Her wisdom can never be as controversial as Pandora's Box, because she lives by something fragile which I can call "The Royal Vessel". Yes, The royal vessel is a vessel which has a size of a Genie's Lamp on Disney's Aladdin. The outside is limited but the inside is limitless since it can never be full. The contents float as objects of knowledge, wisdom and experience.
Despite all of these things happening, she is currently on a state of self-conflict. She is on a state of emptiness, and of melancholy. She is so natural when she types. I am trying to understand her but because of her nature of introversion, she chose to contemplate on her existence which leads her to act mysteriously. Even though these things happen, I am very proud and very glad beyond reasonable doubt to be a true friend, which is my very first. She is my inspiration. I acknowledge the genuine worth of the friendship. :) I even have thought that my friendship with Rosalinda helped me get closer to God through her and through this.
Let's just call the girl from the neighborhood of love: Laura.
Laura, is a girl who came from the neighborhood of love because she just came out from the dark side of love. She's wonderful to be with and she sees books as a collection of adventures and journeys. She happened to be an alumna of my former alma mater. We became friends not only because of this, we became friends because of the bond of trust we developed.
I also wrote about Laura in my diaries, but not as much as the Queen's. Laura is such a wonderful person as she can be very sensitive with certain things. She is as delicate as a pyramid made of game cards. She can endure cartoon graphic violence very well, because they are just cartoons not real actors. She is artistic not only with her musicality but also with her anime art. With music, she plays the violin. Perhaps, medium level violin. :)
She is very much approachable and She is so kind that she really trusts me. She is on the way to be a very strong girl, psychologically speaking. Why? She has endured so much that she has conquered the emotional pain at its greatest extent which is only known to the nature of her experience.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, in general these are the kind of girls, I can learn to trust, to rely on, to acknowledge, to support, to help, to understand, to know, to confide, to sympathize, to communicate, to be sincere with, to be honest with, to respect, to adore, to cathect, to accept, to be humble with, and to be comfortable with.
I can be with them both in their worst and in their best of attitudes. I will promise to myself that I will try my best to be a great friend to them. This is something I never have done before and I am willingly to break my insecurities, calm my anxieties.
This is MY social renaissance after staying on a state of learned helplessness for a very very long time. I had been on the course of fears and anxieties which prevented me from being someone who I dreamed to be. I chose them because I would like to experience new things I never experienced before. This can be the beginning of a new life. The start of a social support group. I have imagined myself to hug them as it can melt my heart to the softness of a marshmallow. They are the rare treasures I can cherish for a lifetime, because they can make a difference in my life as I can make a difference in their life. I am willingly to be my truest self and I really mean it. They are too rare to let go.
There are people who are irreplaceable because they can mark your heart with their uniqueness. There are people who will never abandon you no matter what happens. Friendship is truly something priceless. Now, I realize the essence of friendship through different online articles. I am thankful. I hope they realize the same thing. :) Thank you very much.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I, in the other hand, am willing to transform into a better individual. I will watch inspirational videos, read online articles, listen to great music. I have been analyzing myself a lot, trying to discover who I am as a person.
As a BS Psychology major, I am committed to escape the perception of paranoid imprisonment to the state of self-discipline, freedom, wisdom, responsibility and self-acceptance. It will take a lot of work but I am sure, with their help, the help of other people and with the help of the guidance counselor, I will come out with confidence and honor. My being, my dignity and my identity will show me that I have a life worth living even though I always have had an inexperienced past. I transcend to the best of my being and shine like a diamond. :D
Be compassionate. Be a concerner. Be a friend to all.

College and Break: An Update
INTRODUCTION
5 months ago, it was the beginning of the new school year and the 1st semester. I was registered as a BS Psych II irregular student. I was initially enrolled for 2 subjects, but that wasn't enough, so I added 3 more which is totaled to 5 subjects. 5 psychology subjects with initially only 2 professors, but later 3.
The subjects were: Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology, Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Guidance and Filipino Psychology.
These were my subjects, and I see them as challenging but stressful subjects. I was in the intersection between BS Psych II and BS Psych III. We've got prelims (40%), Midterms (40%) and Finals (60%). My difficulties lies in Guidance and I/O Psychology.
The professors gave the classes a set of very bumpy, confusing and non-inspirational adventures (Well, just 2 of 3). I consider myself as the secret critic of the professors. No one is safe from the scare tactics (of confusing fear with respect) of the professors. That's why they get easily frustrated at times.
I am still very confident to pass these subjects and I will find out on October 15, 2010. :D
COLLEGE DISCIPLINARY POWER
The College has been making moves of re-structuring the culture of discipline, by making the movement of right-wing authoritarianism very evident. I have been contemplating a lot and writing a lot in my diaries about the reasons, about the ethics, about the morality and the legality of things as I have tried questioning the authority in my own way: by writing in my diaries. I never got to understand the true intentions and the objectives of the college and the reasons of these means. That happened in July.
Yes, the College is ruled by the "rule of man" not by the "rule of law". If that is so, so be it. :)
THE PARTIAL SPECIALNESS OF THE 1ST SEMESTER
What makes the 1st semester quite special to me?
Mae Sia- This lady here, is wonderful and I see that she is a people person. She is a very private person as she has the tendency to worry that many people will not understand her very well. There are times when she makes time, wonderful to me. She is commonly misunderstood by many people and she chose to be hidden to all. She can be sensitive at times and she always tries her best to keep her cool. I don't mind her walking away from me at different times, because she has many reasons why and I know she would never disclose those reasons to those she can't trust. Mae, Thank you for keeping me company at certain times.
BS Psych III- This is the class where diversity of great intellect and magnificent appreciation exists. Despite all of the noise, I still manage to be part of it. You will find here people of different cultures with traits that can be very flamboyant yet hyperactive, unconventional yet extraordinary, unpredictable yet chaotic. Such uniqueness is unmatched and I was very glad to be part of your class as that was my last time to be your classmate. Though, I was not extremely attached to this class, due to many psychological issues I hold, I still get to have a great time with them, even though our professors get frustrated. :D
BS Psych II- This is a class bigger than BS Psych III. I will be graduating with them in 2 years time. This class seems to be extremely socially territorial. When you are with them, you can clearly see the division between the groups. I never really connected with all of them, but just a few. They may be very chaotic as well as they are very talkative. I always have thought this was a golden and ideal section before I met them. I have overestimated them a lot. There was a time when I was really infatuated with someone as she never knew about this.
This is a class where noise dominates tranquility. It is night life in the classroom where people can start imagining discotheques activating. LOL! "Hyperactive" is the word I can describe them as they uphold their own urban cacophony not only with words but with actions. They joke a lot. The quiet minority can sometimes be infected with the noise virus and they become noisy, at certain times. I also was never really deeply connected with the class. I might as well get used to them already. :D
Selected BS Psych I students- There are very few BS Psych I students I am curious to connect with (Particularly BS Psych I-01). Just 2 of them happened to be wonderful and I have chose them to connect with me. One of them happened to be an alumna of my high school and the other happened to be full of mysteries. The others are very interesting to interact with as well. I always observe them from afar and I was in conflict with myself whether I would like to approach them or not. I may be able to talk more about the 2 soon. This is a very interesting batch because there are 2 sections. Section 1 is the "Greater Section" and Section 2 is the "Lesser Section".
MDC to MTC
Manila Doctors College has finally planned to change the name of the school to "Manila Tytana Colleges" which is denounced by its students. Here's what I said about it and it is stated in the Facebook page called "Manila Doctors College" instead of Manila Tytana Colleges:
BS Psychology will be having its accreditation by PACUCOA this coming semester and I must say that this issue will definitely be raised as through accreditation, the people on top will start to realize the effects of this planned name change. It is most likely, only through the process of accreditation, can the college change its mind on the name change. :)
SEMESTRAL BREAK
The semestral break is a like a 3 week break between the 2 semesters and I must say that I will find things doing worthy of my time as I still analyze myself in many ways and in many aspects for me to improve to be a better person. I will spend my time in the internet (particularly FB) and I will spend my time writing in my diary.
THE LIFE OF A DIARIST
I still hold a pen which writes my literature as part of my life. It is a record worthy of remembrance and reminiscence. It can be used as evidence of some tragedy or event OR it can be used as a mini-series of my autobiography. Writing is my life and it is now a habit I worship. As an Introvert, I have intentions to leave no hiatus whatsoever, unless it is required. It is something I will never abandon and it is meant to be preserved. It is a tradition I will start as a person and it may be continued to my possible descendants. It is something noble as it is a kings treasure from the soul. I will treasure it to the very best.

"I am an virtual narcissist and a actual neurotic"- Diary (10/10/10)
Thank you, fellowmen, for reading. :D
5 months ago, it was the beginning of the new school year and the 1st semester. I was registered as a BS Psych II irregular student. I was initially enrolled for 2 subjects, but that wasn't enough, so I added 3 more which is totaled to 5 subjects. 5 psychology subjects with initially only 2 professors, but later 3.
The subjects were: Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology, Social Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Guidance and Filipino Psychology.
These were my subjects, and I see them as challenging but stressful subjects. I was in the intersection between BS Psych II and BS Psych III. We've got prelims (40%), Midterms (40%) and Finals (60%). My difficulties lies in Guidance and I/O Psychology.
The professors gave the classes a set of very bumpy, confusing and non-inspirational adventures (Well, just 2 of 3). I consider myself as the secret critic of the professors. No one is safe from the scare tactics (of confusing fear with respect) of the professors. That's why they get easily frustrated at times.
I am still very confident to pass these subjects and I will find out on October 15, 2010. :D
COLLEGE DISCIPLINARY POWER
The College has been making moves of re-structuring the culture of discipline, by making the movement of right-wing authoritarianism very evident. I have been contemplating a lot and writing a lot in my diaries about the reasons, about the ethics, about the morality and the legality of things as I have tried questioning the authority in my own way: by writing in my diaries. I never got to understand the true intentions and the objectives of the college and the reasons of these means. That happened in July.
Yes, the College is ruled by the "rule of man" not by the "rule of law". If that is so, so be it. :)
THE PARTIAL SPECIALNESS OF THE 1ST SEMESTER
What makes the 1st semester quite special to me?
Mae Sia- This lady here, is wonderful and I see that she is a people person. She is a very private person as she has the tendency to worry that many people will not understand her very well. There are times when she makes time, wonderful to me. She is commonly misunderstood by many people and she chose to be hidden to all. She can be sensitive at times and she always tries her best to keep her cool. I don't mind her walking away from me at different times, because she has many reasons why and I know she would never disclose those reasons to those she can't trust. Mae, Thank you for keeping me company at certain times.
BS Psych III- This is the class where diversity of great intellect and magnificent appreciation exists. Despite all of the noise, I still manage to be part of it. You will find here people of different cultures with traits that can be very flamboyant yet hyperactive, unconventional yet extraordinary, unpredictable yet chaotic. Such uniqueness is unmatched and I was very glad to be part of your class as that was my last time to be your classmate. Though, I was not extremely attached to this class, due to many psychological issues I hold, I still get to have a great time with them, even though our professors get frustrated. :D
BS Psych II- This is a class bigger than BS Psych III. I will be graduating with them in 2 years time. This class seems to be extremely socially territorial. When you are with them, you can clearly see the division between the groups. I never really connected with all of them, but just a few. They may be very chaotic as well as they are very talkative. I always have thought this was a golden and ideal section before I met them. I have overestimated them a lot. There was a time when I was really infatuated with someone as she never knew about this.
This is a class where noise dominates tranquility. It is night life in the classroom where people can start imagining discotheques activating. LOL! "Hyperactive" is the word I can describe them as they uphold their own urban cacophony not only with words but with actions. They joke a lot. The quiet minority can sometimes be infected with the noise virus and they become noisy, at certain times. I also was never really deeply connected with the class. I might as well get used to them already. :D
Selected BS Psych I students- There are very few BS Psych I students I am curious to connect with (Particularly BS Psych I-01). Just 2 of them happened to be wonderful and I have chose them to connect with me. One of them happened to be an alumna of my high school and the other happened to be full of mysteries. The others are very interesting to interact with as well. I always observe them from afar and I was in conflict with myself whether I would like to approach them or not. I may be able to talk more about the 2 soon. This is a very interesting batch because there are 2 sections. Section 1 is the "Greater Section" and Section 2 is the "Lesser Section".
MDC to MTC
Manila Doctors College has finally planned to change the name of the school to "Manila Tytana Colleges" which is denounced by its students. Here's what I said about it and it is stated in the Facebook page called "Manila Doctors College" instead of Manila Tytana Colleges:
Well, I am starting wonder if they will start losing students if this happens. If that is the effect of the name change, then, it is not the loss of the students but the loss of the authorities. That's the worst case scenario. If they will change the name, then they will be changing the whole thing. I wonder what the accrediting agencies of the different courses and CHED (Commission on Higher Education) would say about this?I wonder, if the name of the school change, does this really mean that the essence of the current core values (6 C's ) and the Mission and vision, which constitutes our identity as students of this college, change as well? Consider the consequences of the students once they apply for a job. Also, one must specifically analyze the reasons, the causes, the effects of this change, to develop a certain agreement between the students and admin. Think about it. :) Being "Competent" is one of the 6 c's and we should be competent enough to consider everything from every perspective.
Being "Caring" is one of the 6 c's and we students care about our image as a student.
Being "Committed" is one of the 6 c's and we students are committed to do something about this.
Being "Creative" is one of the 6 c's and there should be a role for the students through the student council to go for a contest to change or to retain the name. After which, the student council and the admin must look for something to agree on and that will be the final decision. I suggest that the student council should look at this as part of their projects with the consultation of the Student Affairs Directorate.
Being "Culture-Adaptive" is one of the 6 c's. We students can adapt to a culture with acceptable and ethical standards which magnifies our identity into something better.
If we possess all of these values, we would have the "Competitive Advantage" to realize the true essence and existence of what the school, which we represent, should be.
:)
I hope the people on top would possess these core values as well, otherwise, it will not work very well. That's the truth and the reality we face.
BS Psychology will be having its accreditation by PACUCOA this coming semester and I must say that this issue will definitely be raised as through accreditation, the people on top will start to realize the effects of this planned name change. It is most likely, only through the process of accreditation, can the college change its mind on the name change. :)
SEMESTRAL BREAK
The semestral break is a like a 3 week break between the 2 semesters and I must say that I will find things doing worthy of my time as I still analyze myself in many ways and in many aspects for me to improve to be a better person. I will spend my time in the internet (particularly FB) and I will spend my time writing in my diary.
THE LIFE OF A DIARIST
I still hold a pen which writes my literature as part of my life. It is a record worthy of remembrance and reminiscence. It can be used as evidence of some tragedy or event OR it can be used as a mini-series of my autobiography. Writing is my life and it is now a habit I worship. As an Introvert, I have intentions to leave no hiatus whatsoever, unless it is required. It is something I will never abandon and it is meant to be preserved. It is a tradition I will start as a person and it may be continued to my possible descendants. It is something noble as it is a kings treasure from the soul. I will treasure it to the very best.

The life of today
"Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking."- Albert Einstein
We live in busy times. We do not take the moment to savor the moment. We take granted of many things. Bad energies flow everywhere. What happened to the state of Zen and Tao?
We worry a lot about the past and the future and not the present. The most simple mindset is on the "Here and Now".
We are so sure about our sadness and depression then not so sure about our happiness and euphoria. We are no longer enjoying the treasures of nature as Gaia herself presented to us.
We read too much, we think too much and we talk too much. Our daily activities have become the activities of stress destroying the pace of inner peace.
We dictate, impose and persuade others for no reason other than the desirable attempt to change other people. We are used as means, in which they take advantage of us. Why can't we accept the peculiar absurdity of this world? Einstein is correct that too much reading takes away our creativity. Also, what's the ultimate reason on the existence of education? Ignorance is inevitable. The more we read, the more we may become insane, confused and deluded.
There are many things that are controlling us as we are our own prison. Everything we see and we do, are of superficial value devoid of quintessential value of profundity. We have great difficulty in embracing the mysteries of life. Don't waste those moments that they can never return. Carpe Diem!
(I wrote this on my diary dated August 5, 2010. I based Einstein on the quote above.)

Elections 2010
Tomorrow will be the day wherein the basis of a new era of governance will come. May 10, 2010 is the day of the 1st National and Local Automated Elections of the Republic of the Philippines.
It will be my 1st voting experience as a registered voter. My president is Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro. Why? He is known to have a basis to transcend through the limitations of traditional politics. He is different, innovative, intellectual, unconventional, wise, and optimistic.
He is the standard bearer of LAKAS-KAMPI-CMD Party (The administration party). Many people wouldn't consider him to be president due to the fact that he is associated with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. This shouldn't be the case, since the president distanced herself from Gibo and definitely Gibo is not PGMA.
Elections is the peak of democracy. Comelec (Commission on Election) is responsible for the management of how the elections will go. It is a constitutional commission.
The following is an excerpt of Article IX of the 1987 Constitution:
Here are the constitutional provisions about the right of suffrage:
The Constitution is the main and ultimate foundation upon establishing the territory, the sovereignty, the people of the state. It is the highest law of the land.
Smartmatic-TIM is the partner of Comelec in this years elections. Smartmatic is the one who will print the ballots, distribute the PCOS (Precinct Count Optical Scanner) machines. They make the automated elections possible.
People are sick and worried about the Comelec and Smartmatic with their preparations. We should accept that they are really doing their best, even though, imperfections spring out everywhere in the country. Burning of PCOS machines, reconfiguration of Compact Flash Cards. People are worried that "Failure of Elections" is possible, even though Comelec is indeed overconfident about the avoidance of such event. I would like to thank the Comelec to attempt to go into a leap of faith into the unknown.
Campaigning around the country with different parties and independent candidates seemed to be very stressing to all. Black propaganda is the electoral manifestation of Crab Mentality, we Filipinos have.
The surveys represents the miniscule fraction of the whole voting population. It is unreliable and inaccurate. They too are extremely underrepresented. The respondents are chosen randomly. Results differ and the statistical treatment is simply descriptive, improperly and biasedly analyzed. They are just tools of luring people to something bad. They are for lazy Filipinos who doesn't care what the candidates are preaching for.
Despite problems within the week before the Election day, people continue to look for alternatives ,but however, in the end, considered unconstitutional. All options are dry. Elections must push through as it is mandated by the constitution, so they say. I guess quantity is a higher priority than the quality and credibility of the elections for the Comelec.
Corruption seems to be a problem in the Philippines. Some people claim that we should battle corruption. Corruption is actually an attitude deep in the Filipino psyche that we are easily tempted and less disciplined. We are weak and we should start listening to what the foreigners have to say about our country. They say that we are not proud of our country, which is very true.
True nationalism doesn't exist in people power, but our dedication as citizens of the Republic of the Philippines to uphold the constitutional duty to preserve the culture and our allegiance to the republic. What we do to our country depends on the national interest of the people. Let no disgrace nor cowardice inhibit our patriotic mission of valor and loyalty. True nationalism exists in the pride and essence of being-Filipino. We have had many sui generis and it has been great to have them in our race.

2) Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III (Liberal Party)
3) Ma. Consuelo "Jamby" Madrigal (Independent)
4) Manuel "Manny" Villar (Nationalista Party)
5) Richard "Dick" Gordon (Bagumbayan - Volunteers for a New Philippines)
6) Eduardo "Bro. Eddie" Villanueva (Bangon Pilipinas)
7) Joseph M. "Erap" Estrada Ejercito (Pwersa sa Masang Pilipino)
8) John Carlos G. "JC" Delos Reyes (Ang Kapatiran Party)
Here what a contemporary philosopher had to say about democracy:
"Democracy is intended to make men's tenure of power temporary and dependent upon popular approval."- Bertrand Russell
Here are my tweets concerning the election in chronological order:
1) Politics are filthy and dirty events contributed by the humanely agents called Civilized Barbarians. I think we Filipinos are more matured that people power will be less powerful and many people have learned the experience of history.
3) Despite the assurances of the success of Mondays polls, it is very obvious that the Comelec is extremely overconfident with their decisions. Politics shows that Filipinos are the epitome of crab mentality, anti-nationalism, extreme personalism, procrastination and ningas cogon. We do not need unity in the country. What we need is a mere appreciation of what we do to our country for the better of our race.
6) The youth of today is experiencing the death of democracy. Juan de la Cruz has finally stepped into the Inferno of politics. He struggles.

Enlightening the young minds.
Gosh! I do not see enlightenment here anymore. All your eyes are closed and too defensive to face the reality of "acceptance." There are many people suffering on the other side of the globe while you guys argue about this. There is really no point to this anymore. This is simply too much already. :(
The truth is, that you guys do this, looking for answers in order to defend your genders. What I see is opinions. Some of you would say it happened there, not here, just give this a break. What we really need is not narcissism, nor abnormally high self-esteem (hubris), psychological self-defenses. We need to be vulnerable by breaking down walls of isolation and start building bridges of trust and loyalty to others. :( Think about it. I see no genuine unity but many islands.
Every one of us has a inner voice rooted from our unconsciousness. This inner voice is called wisdom. Listen to it and trust it as that is the voice of internalized experience.
If you see me as a hypocrite, I try to eradicate that image and do my best of what I would choose to be.
We are too defensive and too closed-hearted because we do not want or wont let others see who we really are because we are not really permitting ourselves to do that.
We wouldn't have good friends and acquaintances without love for we wouldn't exist without love. We can grow up physically, but it will be difficult to grow up psychologically.
I know this is no longer about the above post anymore, but it seems like there is a need for someone to open your eyes and realize and rethink on how we are living now. There are students like you who sometimes desire to miss classes and waste a lot of money while there are many who are uneducated and drop-outs.
We have enough tragedies today, there are some of us who would like to make them worse by playing the blame game. These are scapegoaters who don't really look at themselves first before accusing others of their own troubles.
Love is not a symbol of war or a pretext to apathy. It is the ultimate spirit of selflessness and appreciation of this great universe. :) Do we have to close doors on whoever needs our help? Do we have to ignore those who need our company? I don't think so.
Trust thrives in sincerity and honesty. You have to earn that trust. You have to make yourself visible in order for them to really see and understand you. They will really accept you once you are understood well. They will learn to love you and appreciate your meaningful existence as it cannot be copied. Otherwise, they will never know the truth you treasure. Remember this, do not try to be someone else for you will forget who you are meant to be.
"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."- 1 Corinthians 13:8-12
I am not who you think I am.
Thank you for reading and I hope you are enlightened very much.

We are too defensive and too closed-hearted because we do not want or wont let others see who we really are because we are not really permitting ourselves to do that.
We wouldn't have good friends and acquaintances without love for we wouldn't exist without love. We can grow up physically, but it will be difficult to grow up psychologically.
I know this is no longer about the above post anymore, but it seems like there is a need for someone to open your eyes and realize and rethink on how we are living now. There are students like you who sometimes desire to miss classes and waste a lot of money while there are many who are uneducated and drop-outs.
We have enough tragedies today, there are some of us who would like to make them worse by playing the blame game. These are scapegoaters who don't really look at themselves first before accusing others of their own troubles.
Love is not a symbol of war or a pretext to apathy. It is the ultimate spirit of selflessness and appreciation of this great universe. :) Do we have to close doors on whoever needs our help? Do we have to ignore those who need our company? I don't think so.
Trust thrives in sincerity and honesty. You have to earn that trust. You have to make yourself visible in order for them to really see and understand you. They will really accept you once you are understood well. They will learn to love you and appreciate your meaningful existence as it cannot be copied. Otherwise, they will never know the truth you treasure. Remember this, do not try to be someone else for you will forget who you are meant to be.
"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."- 1 Corinthians 13:8-12
I am not who you think I am.
Thank you for reading and I hope you are enlightened very much.
