"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.

"Filipinos don't realize that victory is the child of struggle, that joy blooms from suffering, and redemption is a product of sacrifice."- Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado
Here are the other presidential aspirants:
1) Nicanor "Nick" Perlas (Independent)
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.

Decreasing of blog enthusiastic momentum
As you all are realizing, I am decreasing my blog enthusiasm not on purpose, but it is just I write alot in my diary. I can always consider this blog and my diaries as a part of my life here on Earth.
Here's what I can do: I can instead put a weekly summary of what I write in my diary. I have lesser things to write unless, I get new ideas.
(By the way, I call them IIO's not Diary, but for the sake of others' understanding, I refer them to diary. IIO means "Internal Information Output". I am now into my 4th notebook.
For the meantime, I will just put some quotes from the past entries I have written in my diary:
"Humor is indeed a great thing. A fearful person can really be a comedian"- 11/19/09
"Adjusting from one thing to another is a change, but not an overnight change. It is more of a gradual change. Change involves risk. A risk to the unknown. We must have courage in order to face the pains of the unknown. Remember. no one will know the real person in you. Only God knows." - 11/21/09
"Ive witnessed the initial void of MDC in a Sunday sunlight. The silence, serenity and calmness were absolute until the arrival of the (30th National Quiz Bee) organizers this morning"- 11/22/09
"I know that the authentic self is the mature self waiting to be exposed to the world, to see.
This is the self who has been hiding for a very long time.
This is the self whom we see and even witness faith and change and trust.
This is the self where love meets our soul and grow into the form of unconditional love or agape.
This is the self where all hatred are dissolves and accepted.
This is the self where he knows his ways and limitations through the course of life.
This is the self where all evaluations with the self and others are eternally suspended in the values of non-maleficience and benevolence.
This is the self who admits his imperfections.
This is the self who knows that he knows nothing.
This is the self who promotes the love of peace and harmonious co-existence among his race mates.
This is the self who doesn't blame anyone or himself for any circumstances.
This is the self who have no regrets and (are) satisfied with everything in life.
This is the self who is less biased than others.
This is the self of true nature who affirms his existence as a human person and individual in this physical world.
This is the self who don't procrastinate or even give excuses.
(This is the self who accepts his innate uniqueness)
This is a creed of a changed and a well accepted self. Let nothing diminish this, unless they allow it. This is the authentic self who's free and is responsible for everything. Be him and you shall shine in enlightenment. Don't worry, just be happy." - 11/25/09
"Is there anyone out there who knows me and understands me well? A "True" friend [for me]* is a person who's willingly to accept and understand me as who I am. S/He is someone who I whole-heartedly trust and experience together the things we are meant to do. S/He makes me understand myself and others better, because s/he is a reflection of me. I can easily self-disclose to this someone without guilt or shame. We would suffer, laugh, enjoy and love and do lots of things together. I don't know who this person is."- 11/27/09
"I know I am free to do anything. It is just that I don't feel this privilege of freedom in my perceptions. Learned helplessness is still in my blood, I can't remove such disease from me"- 11/28/09
"To the stars through adversity, just seize the day [Ad astra per aspera, carpe diem!!!]"- 11/30/09
On 12/12/09, I have listed 23 characteristics of a "Best True Friend", but I figured out that this is so wrong that it is close to impossible for find someone like this. This is too conditional.
*This shows my perspective of what a True friend is.
Note: The words inside the parentheses are added today.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon!)

Some excerpts from my Diary/Journal
"Critical thinking sadly has become rare nowadays. Dependence affects our natural ability to think and to lead. No one shall be a follower but a leading-follower.

A need to satisfy interpersonal connections and personality
Loneliness has been an emotional disease for a very long time. Aloneness, however is different, because it is a choice. I have been longing for a true friendship for a very long time and somehow, I keep on backing out for reasons like fear of judgement, criticism and rejection (Social Isolation). Those are the risks I am aware of self-disclosure. Others may be reaching out to me, but I guess I was rejecting their offers for reasons that my super-ego is my guardian image, who always would like me to be weak.
I feel very restricted at alot of things. Alot of people seemed to misunderstand the conditions people like me are facing. They have not empathy, but I don't blame them for not understanding, because I know it is very difficult to understand the people who are very different from us. The problem with me, is that I am not always willingly to legitimately suffer for the better, I am not taking risks. That's Neurosis defined by Carl Gustav Jung. It is autonomy and social connections I am aiming for. I really know now, why children hate to be controlled. Let not the children be spoiled to the point of no responsibility.
Love and Affection according to M. Scott Peck (A psychiatrist, a psychotherapist and a best-seller author of the "Road Less Travelled), is an effort to open yourself or extend yourself to others (Breaking down ego boundaries). Ego Boundaries are personality limits in ourselves. If we are to effortless break down ego boundaries, that love will always be temporary, because love is not a feeling itself. That's the myth. It is like a muscle willingly to push ourselves to the target of risk. Read the Road Less Travelled, you will really know alot. I am sorry, but I can't put everything here.
When I really have to self-disclose information (I mean the great truth of my being), I will break down and hope nothing will go bad. Optimists always aim for the better (Positive thinkers). Pessimists always aim for the worst (Negative thinkers). Pessimists always do the complaining and will not be really satisfied of what they have and what they are doing. Optimists is the direct opposite. They are happy even though something is missing. Me, being a pessimist always look for facts and knowledge (that are empirical evidences of psychopathology in my being) more about myself through different references and acknowledge those facts as part of me, but doesn't throw this away, I let it become like a parasite.
Whenever, I stay at school during vacant times, I let myself become desperate just by witnessing the process of making gold (Making friends). I have been comparing myself to others, which can make me inferior to others. This promotes jealosy. So, I should stop judging, criticizing, doubting my abilities and capabilities to do better. It is all in the mind some would say. If I see myself as a moron or an idiot, I would expect others to see me as the same, waiting to be bait of rejection.
I am sure some commenters to this note will be able to extrinsically motivate me by saying "Believe in yourself! Trust yourself! Let no other person bring you down, because it is you who let it happen..." I would appreciate that, but then, I will be more dependent on other people for giving me wise passages.
I have found myself to be insecure all the time. Mark Twain said "There are no securities in life. Only opportunities." So, optimists would rather look for opportunities. Let the opportunities not hinder the great development of man, because these are the grand doors to experience and experience is the greatest teacher to be a better person. Self-determination is actually a one-time thing, they aim for something great at 1st try, because they would believe that there wouldn't be a 2nd try.
As you can see, I have been debating with myself on what should happen. My sick-self will push me towards mental illness (Most possibly avoidant personality disorder), but my healthy-self will push me to change and to aim high to fulfill all of my potentials as a human being. That's basically the tug-of-war of personality.
Once we were told, that we should not talk to strangers. That mindset is already impacted in our minds. Parents were wrong. Friends were strangers before we meet them. This are one of the reasons why people are so shy and anxious to meet other people. I am a loveshy person myself. Our parents did not really specify what strangers are. Everything is generalized. I hope you are enlightened. The purpose of this post is not only to express my need to socialize, to be accept and to be loved but to help others who are in need as well.
I do have the knowledge but my problem is the application of the knowledge to my self-esteem. I know am not alone in this one. A true friend out there is an acceptor of beings. I may not be a friend to myself, but I may be able to befriend others. I accept the responsibility of the criticisms others say to me in this note. Thank You for your time and patience. I shall end this note with a friendship quote:
"It is easy to find fault with others, but it is not easy to live so that others will not see faults in us. We tend to criticize our friends for doing things that we could do not better."

Energy: The primoridal component of the universe.
" Let not your thoughts be the master of your being, but let your being be the master of your thoughts."
I shall start this post with this quote. This is authentic for the new age era. The Secret is both a video and a book which uncovers the LAW OF ATTRACTION as the SECRET.
They are basically saying to us that MAN is a magnet or a energy-transmitter which uses thinking as the medium. If you think positive, it will come. It is not the matter of "how" it will come, it is the matter of expecting that the things you would like will come.
According to the proponents of the Secret, Love is a feeling, which is caused by our thinking. Feeling is the subjective manifestations of thoughts as a feedback from the universe. We are all energy-composed. There is no such thing as non-energy. I suppose that some people would question me "What about the Absolute Zero point in the Kelvin temperature scale?" Well, it is difficult to say, because in classical physics, the lower the temperature, the more heat will be lost. Heat is a form of energy.
But in the quantum mechanical physics, Energy can be generated in atoms through the forces of motion. My answer to the absolute Zero question would be: "The evidence of energy in the intermolecular level is low, but energy in both the subatomic and atomic levels are high. As you can see around you, you see energy not matter.
Matter, substances, chemical compositions of things are just energy and that is the fact. We are connected to this universe which is the matrix of energy. Our minds, our spirits have no material compositions whatsoever, because they're taking the form of energy.
E=MC^2 is the famous formula proposed by Albert Einstein and now is proven a century later at 2005.
So, therefore the emptiness of the universe is not empty at all. The nothingness is not nothing at all. So, from this proposition, we can possibly say that nothing or empty is something. That something is Energy, my friends.
From the 7 chakras of the body aligned in the Kundalini to the atomic fusion in the nuclear setting. From the intrinsic combustions of the stellar community to the Superstring theory.
Paranormal and enigmatic activities are energy. Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) is probable, but never witnessed. Motion is what the univese keeps on moving. Energy is the cause of everything and of motion. This is why, we classified energy into 2. Kinetic and Potential Energy.
I hypothesize that Potential Enegry does not really exist, because we keep on moving. Motion is relative, so it depends on the point of reference. Potential Energy only exists in the normal perspective excluding the bigger picture. So, the authentic energy is called Kinetic energy, while the inauthentic energy is called potential energy.
Different dimensions hold the same kind of energy in many different ways in the medium of vibrational contact and interpretation.
I end this post by saying "Be the vibes because you are the essential calories of the universe."

"It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing -- a somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average mind. Furthermore, the equation E is equal to m c-squared, in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa. The mass and energy were in fact equivalent, according to the formula mentioned above. This was demonstrated by Cockcroft and Walton in 1932, experimentally." - Albert Einstein

Return of the king of the Havens
I shall return once more and never to back out again unless it is necessary. My birthday returns once more on September 24 and the tragic memory of 9/11 will help us reminisce the terror of what the world saw in 2001.
As for politics, Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III has decided to run for president despite the backing out of Manuel "Mar" Araneta Roxas few days ago. Politics is heating up and the battles of these politicians will never be significant as those of the past generations.
In this video, Mar Roxas officially announced his backout from the presidential race in Club Filipino located at Greenhills, San Juan.
http://www.jovefrancisco.com/?p=725 Here is the story behind the video of the fuming president.
All I can say is, that the president blew a fuse in the wrong time. Is this what journalistic professionalism really is? This incident proves the amateurness of these people. It is just like the Secret Service in the JFK Assasination in Dallas, Texas. Unprepared.
There is a time in our lives, where we don't even care of our leaders anymore. The president of the Republic of the Philippines, the successor of PGMA, will still be as insignificant as her, because Filipinos are never contented. More rallies, debates, Coup and Genuine Democracy (People Power) attempts.
Sad to say that Article II section 6 of the 1987 Constitution has been misinterpreted for a long time.
Sec. 6: The separation of Church and State shall be inviolable.
The church prefers to be antidisestablishmentarian (is a political philosophy that is opposed to the separation of church and state.)
But Antidisestablishmentarianism is a violation of that section of article 2 of the Philippine 1987 constitution which is the fundamental law of the land. I prefer to be Anti-antidisestablishmentarian.
CBCP (Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines)is the contemporary form of the Spanish friars. I wonder if the Canon Law says something about this law on the separation.
As always, we, the Filipinos are self-destructing into something bad. Even with the Aquino surname on hand, we will still go down into the dungeon of kakistocracy. Imelda Marcos said that "The Philippines is rich due to the abundance of Gold, Oil and Deuterium. This makes "G.O.D."" That is one aspect of many.
Blame no one, The loss of national narcissism is the loss of genuine nationalism. God Bless the Philippines. Hopes will shine into the darkness of carnages.

The return from a 1-month undeniable hiatus
I would like to apologize for this unannounced hiatus for my computer at home is a victim of technological infections. As much as I like to fix it, but I have to fix myself for I am neurotic. You can say that again.
Anyways, here is the summary of what happened during the hiatus:
The whole month of July. I couldn't really access my computer, so I had to use the computer at school.
July 27, 2009- was the Last SONA of President Arroyo. Let me react that the laymen of the Philippines have no knowledge of the economics language and its application to politics. Also, she is actually using Argumentum ad Hominem as a logical fallacy to critics. Is this a president worthy to be honored with greatness or with intellectual trash? Gloria substantially declared that she will step down from the presidency in 2010, and that is clear, but what's not clear is what will her post-presidential plans be. Will she stay in politics? She has generated more speculations. Her De Jure presidency should be re-thinked by the Filipinos, that Juan dela cruz is a fool. Yes, in deed, because they themselves, installed the president. Perhaps we are now in a state of an democratic kakistocracy (Badly-maintained rule). She is clinging herself to the tower of greed.
August 1- 5, 2009- These are the days of mourning of the death of the late President Maria Corazon Sumulong Cojuangco Aquino (1933-2009). Alot of people called her an "Icon of Democracy" and also a saint. The common message from the common masses are "Salamat at Paalam" and "Thank you for restoring democracy in the republic." Clearly, It is a repetition of August 31, 1983 when her husband Ninoy, died.
I have founded a useful way to express myself and to gain external information which I established on July 29, 2009. I called it EIO (External Information Output) and IIO (Internal Information Output). Others call IIO as Diary.
Once again, my apologies to all.

Jackson Dream and Social Nomadism, School updates
This morning I had a dream of Michael Jackson on the way to an ambulance from his home. I remember seeing an nasal oxygen cannula. A health professional in the ambulance placed in a oxygen mask without removing the cannula. Perhaps, Michael had difficulty of breathing and he was awake.
I guess, MJ himself tried to communciate with me. Not sure, but let's hope the symbolic interpretation is not bad. Maybe, this actually happened during his passing.
SOCIAL NOMADISM
Social Nomadism- is an interpersonal experience of a person where he/she has no permanent companion or a friend in a particular social group or in general.
I consider myself a social nomad because, at school, socialization is better than before. I socialize now, but to a heightened point of interest. The social group I am in, is the psychology group. In short, I am with 1 sub-group which is 1 class for a limited time and another for a limited time. This is a life of an recent shifter and a resulting irregular. I guess, I am not the only social nomad, because Jedi tends to be another one (As I perceive it).
I realized that I have alot of unreasonable expectations that drive people away.
SCHOOL UPDATES
Now, I have 2 new teachers replaced the old ones. These are the teachers for Art Appreciation and Ethics. The new Art App teacher is so jivey, so cool, so friendly, so light and so approchable. I really do like him and I fancy his smile LOL. He is just perfect for the class. He has this format of EXCITING discussion first then some activities. He overused the words "Particular" and "Work of Art". I even pictured him in my mind as an painter with a hat, a canvass, and a palette facing the camera smiling. LOL. So charming.
The other new teacher replaced the Elvisoid (Elvis-like) teacher. I haven't met her but the chairperson of the MDC-CAS-Humanities Department said that she is a product of the Catholic University of Louvane in Beligium. She has 2 MA's. That university produces the "BEST MINDS IN PHILOSOPHY". As she was having her teaching demo yesterday, passerbys were mesmerized about this teacher. I was so excited that I envisioned her as a "Enlightener of the spirit." Hopefully, she is not very strict. :)
The teacher in Educational Psychology is so fantasizing that he even considered himself as an comedian. He talks like Ogie Diaz and his catchphrase is "CONGRATULATIONS! to the highest level (in a sarcastic manner)". He believes that an educator should adjust to the likeliness of the students. He is so advanced that he uses LCD + Laptop in all discussions. In short, Powerpoint presentations, for quizzes and lessons. He is so calm, so charming and so interesting and approachable. Besides, he is the only male teacher in the Psych Dept.
Now, lastly, the teacher in economics is my only problem. Why is that? It is only now, that I realize that this teacher has great teaching skills and a bit higher level than ours, but she is frustrated whenever the students don't understand the lesson and therefore she blames the student for not understanding. Common sense is less common than before. She really pre-consciously classically condition her students. For this, she doesn't recognize improvement because she doesn't care about the student's evaluation. She doesn't recognize the student diversity really well. This my 2nd time being with her as my teacher. The first one was a year ago with the nursing students. My realization of such problematic blaming just came to me this week. She also does not realize that she is promoting the fear of failure. My perception of this teacher may not be the same of my classmates. So, I am not blaming her at all, uniqueness is really a human property that can't be destroyed.
The students and the teachers must harmoniously co-exist in a complementary fashion in order to function orderly as a class. Everyone is different and those differences should be recognized. The students and the teachers should adapt to each other, otherwise, the teacher will invoke several conditionings to the students.
Last week, I have joined a RSO (Recognized Student Organization) called "Peer Facilitators Organization" under the management of the Guidance Office which is under the DSA (Directorate of Student Affairs) (Formerly called as OSA or the Office of Student Affairs) of the school.
Peer Facilitators are just guides and the enlighteners of the problematic or psychologically deficient students. "I want to understand and help myself simultaneously with the same human act to others as a matter of the acceptance of personal responsibility with the application of psychological principles and theories learned in the main course of BS Psychology."
It will be a fruitful year, hopefully. :)
Today, I have learned something new about the Philippine History. Originally, the Philippines was a colony of Spain through the viceroyalty of Mexico. This was the pre-galleon trade period.
Adios MJ, the product of a motown legend. The memorial was so touching. Let Ethics rule the world as it should be. GBU.
I guess, MJ himself tried to communciate with me. Not sure, but let's hope the symbolic interpretation is not bad. Maybe, this actually happened during his passing.
SOCIAL NOMADISM
Social Nomadism- is an interpersonal experience of a person where he/she has no permanent companion or a friend in a particular social group or in general.
I consider myself a social nomad because, at school, socialization is better than before. I socialize now, but to a heightened point of interest. The social group I am in, is the psychology group. In short, I am with 1 sub-group which is 1 class for a limited time and another for a limited time. This is a life of an recent shifter and a resulting irregular. I guess, I am not the only social nomad, because Jedi tends to be another one (As I perceive it).
I realized that I have alot of unreasonable expectations that drive people away.
SCHOOL UPDATES
Now, I have 2 new teachers replaced the old ones. These are the teachers for Art Appreciation and Ethics. The new Art App teacher is so jivey, so cool, so friendly, so light and so approchable. I really do like him and I fancy his smile LOL. He is just perfect for the class. He has this format of EXCITING discussion first then some activities. He overused the words "Particular" and "Work of Art". I even pictured him in my mind as an painter with a hat, a canvass, and a palette facing the camera smiling. LOL. So charming.
The other new teacher replaced the Elvisoid (Elvis-like) teacher. I haven't met her but the chairperson of the MDC-CAS-Humanities Department said that she is a product of the Catholic University of Louvane in Beligium. She has 2 MA's. That university produces the "BEST MINDS IN PHILOSOPHY". As she was having her teaching demo yesterday, passerbys were mesmerized about this teacher. I was so excited that I envisioned her as a "Enlightener of the spirit." Hopefully, she is not very strict. :)
The teacher in Educational Psychology is so fantasizing that he even considered himself as an comedian. He talks like Ogie Diaz and his catchphrase is "CONGRATULATIONS! to the highest level (in a sarcastic manner)". He believes that an educator should adjust to the likeliness of the students. He is so advanced that he uses LCD + Laptop in all discussions. In short, Powerpoint presentations, for quizzes and lessons. He is so calm, so charming and so interesting and approachable. Besides, he is the only male teacher in the Psych Dept.
Now, lastly, the teacher in economics is my only problem. Why is that? It is only now, that I realize that this teacher has great teaching skills and a bit higher level than ours, but she is frustrated whenever the students don't understand the lesson and therefore she blames the student for not understanding. Common sense is less common than before. She really pre-consciously classically condition her students. For this, she doesn't recognize improvement because she doesn't care about the student's evaluation. She doesn't recognize the student diversity really well. This my 2nd time being with her as my teacher. The first one was a year ago with the nursing students. My realization of such problematic blaming just came to me this week. She also does not realize that she is promoting the fear of failure. My perception of this teacher may not be the same of my classmates. So, I am not blaming her at all, uniqueness is really a human property that can't be destroyed.
