True Meaning of Friendship

After meeting the students of AY05, they made me realize many things about life. When I was in my Elementary and High School days, I wasn't really that close to my classmates. I don't interact with them that much and I don't know how will I talk to them. But then, College Life has come. I'm afraid that history might repeat itself. I'll become a loner again and just have to get used to it. But everything's different, instead of being a "forever alone" they approached me and tried to know more about me.

At first, I don't know how to act infront of them but when I came to know more about them I can slowly understand the meaning of friendship. The bonds that we shared together, the laughter, the sadness and hardships; These are all the things that I experienced with them that I don't want to forget. That's why I'm lucky to be able to meet them. I want to thank them for teaching me these lessons. :)

Psychology: The power of reading minds

If I'm not taking the course that I had right now, I would like to take the course "Psychology".
(source: ttp://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology ) Psychology is defined as the study of the mind and of thought, feeling, and behavior. Simply said, it is the study of how human thinks. I describe myself as an "introvert", the one's who doesn't simply speak out what's on their mind. Because of that, I'm having a hard time interacting to other people. But when I read the articles about Psychology, I came to understand a lot of things.

After reading an article about Psychology, I learned that every single thing that people do have significance on what they are thinking. I learned to be more open-minded and try to understand the reason why they act like that. So, by being able to understand them, I would be able to learn more about them.



Like in the saying : "The brain is wider than the sky" by Emily Dickinson. A lot of things are going through our mind. We think about different things all the time. Our mind is really amazing to be able to do that. It really entices me to study Psychology just by thinking about that. I just hope that one day, I would be able to study it more.

Pitogo High School: Junior Senior Promenade

Junior Senior Promenade or simply called J.S. Prom is a night of elegance where in students gather and enjoy the night with them wearing formal attires. It really is an exciting night for everyone most especially for the seniors because it would be their last year. I'm not really in to that kind of event because I'm more of a computer person. I'm not confident in my social skills and I never really wear formal suites more of I don't have any of them. But I didn't expect that I'll be joining in the last minute. I'm only the last one left that wouldn't be joining that event so I had no choice but to join because they forced me to.

It was the last day of practice when I joined. I didn't really know what they're doing and what's going on so I attended the so-called event without any preparation. I borrowed my dress from my Aunt and I let "Ate Kenneth" (my classmate Kaira's older sister) do my make-up. So, I arrived the event at 4:30 and waited for the event to start. My classmates are shocked when I met them. They are surprised on my appearance. On normal days, I always tie my hair up and dresses simple but on that day, it's the complete opposite. I didn't know what to feel on that day. Maybe it really wasn't a bad thing to join there.


The event had started. They turned on the music and people started to dance. I'm really shy to dance so I just sit down in our table and waited for time to pass by slowly. As I observe the people, they really are having fun dancing. As the music turns into a romantic song, the mood becomes more intense. They become quiet for a while but you can see that they really are serious. So an hour has passed and I just slept all the time. I just waited for dinner time. After we ate, the fun resumes. Of course, I didn't dance and just slept. Even though my classmates keep pestering me to dance, I keep turning them down. To be honest, I'm not feeling well at that day. I just want to watch them enjoying the fun. 

So the night was a success. Even if I didn't do anything, I had fun at that night! :D

YUI


My favorite J-Pop Singer is YUI. Her name is not officially confirmed. She was born in Fukuoka, Japan and grew up in single-parent family. She said that when she was young, she had been fond of Music and thought that she'll become a singer one day.
YUI (ALBUM COVER  From Me To You)
 From Wikipedia:

Before being discovered by Sony Japan Music, she played at various locations in her hometown. She started her career at age of 17 and released her first album months later. Her Genre of Music is Pop. Years later, she became popular in Japan and other surrounding countries.


With her ranking number one in 2011 Count Down TV "Dearest Female Artist" and Music Station "Artist You Most Want to Marry"polls, as well as Radio Television Hong Kong's "Most Popular Japanese Artist".

What I like in her music is her voice and the instrument. Her voice is awesome and cute. She's also good at playing guitar and by combining it, it produces an epic song. :)




Goodbye Days (English Lyrics)

So I am going to see you
I decide it
I wan you to hear this song
in my pocket

I found it out
as turning the volume up softly

Oh now good bye days
I feel it is going to change
So long, by the time yesterday
Because there is a tenderness which is not cool with me
La la la la la with you

I slip the one
of a pair of earphone to you
At this moment
it is slowly following into me

Is it a right way of love for each other?
Sometimes I am lost the way

Oh now good bye days
It is get started to change inside of my heart, it is alright
Because there is a tenderness which is not cool with me
La la la la la with you

I wish I could
feel any pain
But it is going to me, right?
When it comes to me
if I could say Yeah Hello! my friend, like that
If I could do that as smiling on my face

When we sing the same tune
I wish if you were by my side
The tenderness is not cool you gave me
I was glad to see that

La la la la Good-bye days



Meeting the class AY05 :D

July 9, 2012:

I didn't attend the first two weeks of my College Days because I'm undergoing through medications. I'm really afraid that I might be left out on our class but I really can't go to school. I had no choice but to stay at home and wait for time to pass by.
Konata Izumi (Lucky Star)
July 23, 2012:

Time sure flies fast. I'll be having my first day at class. My brother who also studies at Mapua guided me inside the campus. Before we go to the classroom, we went to the Clinic to get my Medical Certificate. But then I realized it's already 9:15 am that time and I'm late in my first class. I bid farewell to my brother and I tried to walk as fast as I can. Luckily, the teacher just got inside. I didn't enter immediately because I'm too nervous. Few minutes passed and I entered the room. I walk straight to the teacher without gazing my classmates and presented my Medical Certificate. And then, I sit down to the empty chair infront waiting for the class to start.

At first, I really thought that they are all serious. In our first class, they are just quietly listening to the professor. But then after the first class, they started to go wild. They throw funny jokes at each other, tease each other and laughs enthusiastically. Even though I didn't had the chance to talk to them at that day, I think that I'll be having fun in this class. :D

Student Life

As a student, we encounter various problems. The quizzes are hard, assignments are too many, teachers sometimes are too hard on us etc. Dealing with these problems sure is a great deal. But if there's a problem, there's a solution for it.

The most common problem that we encounter as a student is Financial Crisis. We don't have enough money to provide the things that we need like books, study materials etc. Also, there are too many things that we have to pay like contributions in group work,study materials etc . Most of the allowance that we had was spent on those and there are less money to save. So for that problem, the nest solution would be consuming money wisely. You just have to spend your money on the things that you have to buy. Let us not waste money on things that we will not use. You have to think through things before considering to buy it.

Next is Time Management. We spend almost half of our day at school. After going to school, you have loads of works to do. You have a pending project, an assignment that you have to pass the day after and so on and forth. While having stress over this problems, there comes the house chores. You are tasked to do those house chores and if you don't you'll parents will get mad at you. Only half of the day was left and you don't know what to do first. The solution for that is to ask for help. Tell them what you are going through. If you just ask nicely, I think they'll help you.

Lastly, School Issues. We are having a hard time on school. The quizzes and lessons are hard and there's loads of homework and projects. It is really stressful at school. To overcome those problems, you just have to stay calm. If the lessons are hard, you just have to ask on things that you didn't get. And once you got it, you'll have no problems on quizzes. Just like my Biology teacher said: "Don't problem the problem". Don't just think on how hard to do it, you must also do something about it. Thinking too much will just stress you out. We have to remain calm and think of a solution.

Bakuman Chapter 1
Reaction to the series:

The story was unique and one of the kind. The art was also good and have a good combination to the theme of the story. Every chapter of the manga, you can feel the excitement of the story. It has a wonderful plot and most of all, the ending was amazing and romantic. You can learn a lot of things in this manga. To sum it up, it is an amazing manga.

Music is one of the greatest entertainment nowadays. There are various kinds of music depending on its genre. One of my favorite genre is hardcore music. And the band "Silverstein", has caught my attention. Silverstein is a Canadian post-hardcore band formed in the year 2000 (source from Wikipedia). They based their band name to a famous children's author "Shel Silverstein" whom they admired when they were young. The band has now became successful having 5 albums released.

Silverstein

What I like in this band is their great music. They have an amazing guitarist "Neil Boshart", drummer "Paul Koehler", bass guitarist "Josh Bradfort", backing vocalist "Billy Hamilton", and not to mention the lead vocalist "Shane Told". Each of them showcased their talent in their music. The lyrics are also good and has a good meaning on it. And if you combine them, it produces an awesome song.

December 21, 2012 : The Judgement Day

Different Beliefs rooted from different religions.Religion has vastly influenced every aspects of our lives. The way we think and the way was influenced by our religion. Would you believe if they say that the world is going to end?

The hottest talk these day are the upcoming Judgement Day. They said that  the world will end in December 21,2012. Of course we wouldn't want that to happen right? There are a lot of things that we want to accomplish. They based this theory on the specific dates on the bible. It would be a hard task but they have a proof.

What i read on: http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/05/16/by-the-numbers-how-may-21-2011-was-calculated-to-be-judgment-day/. The radical Christians has came to support their beliefs because of this evidences:

The Great Flood Struck in 4990 B.C.

Family Radio president Howard Camping determined the date of the flood by cobbling together information from the Bible. Starting with the exodus of the Jews out of Egypt, commonly thought to have occurred in 1447 B.C., he counted back through each generation to form a timeline, reaching the year 4990 B.C. for the flood.

The accuracy of this date is paramount to Camping’s argument, but he seems to be one of a minority group in arriving at this number. Other biblical scholars say the flood happened around 2000 B.C.

Seven Days’ Warning of the Great Flood

“Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.” (Genesis 7: 4)

People had seven days to prepare for the great flood — an apocalyptic event in that time. This number serves as a benchmark.

Seven Days Equals 7,000 Years

“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” (2 Peter 3:8)

Using the seven-day warning as a benchmark, Camping’s calculations take this passage to heart. He added 7,000 years to the great flood date of 4990 B.C. (accounting for the fact that Year Zero doesn’t officially exist in the Gregorian calendar we use today) to determine the date of the next destruction of humanity. But isn’t this number a bit contrived? After all, no other biblical event used a multiplier of 1,000. So why this one?

Month 2, Day 17

“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.” (Genesis 7: 11)

The great flood occurred on 17 Iyar of the then standard Hebrew calendar, which 7,000 years later corresponds to May 21 in 2011.

Taking this evidence into account, Camping and his crew predict that earthquakes will shake the world at 6 p.m. on May 21. But many nonbelievers of the prediction, particularly religious ones, refute Family Radio’s claims using other biblical evidence. After all, would God truly reveal his plans in a calculated manner?

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24: 36)

And it appears that not even Camping truly knows. After all, he predicted the same situation before — in 1994 — and 17 years later, we’re still here. He later blamed that failed prediction on a miscalculation. Will he have to draft a similar excuse after Saturday?

Of course these evidences sure makes sense. Also, they based it on the bible so we have to believe it because it's the word of God. But what I can say is, He didn't directly said it. There are a lot of hidden message in his words but all of that is for us to live in a more efficient way. Not because they said it came from the bible, I would believe it automatically. I believe in God's words and what I believe  is his verse in bible : Matthew 24:36 : "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father". It is enough evidence for me to not believe on what others say. So what I will do is to continue believing on Him and just ignore what they say. God wouldn't lie to us right?

Pitogo High School: My Alma Matter

Pitogo High School
I live at Makati City. Because my parent's doesn't want me go home late, they enrolled me to school near our house. And that's Pitogo High School. It is a public school which have its strict rules and regulations. The number one rule in our school is the "Close Gate Policy". The start of the morning class is 6 am so you have to arrive on or before the designated time. And for afternoon classes, the start is 12 pm. If you didn't arrive on time, then you are not allowed to enter the school for the rest of the day. Also, if you forgot to bring your I.D., then the guards won't let you pass. They are practicing discipline and morality so better keep up with the rules or you won't be able to graduate.

Pitogo High School has its own reputation. It has been one of the best public school in Makati. It won't loose in both academic and extracurricular activities. In terms of academic excellency, it always place high in National Achievement Test and Division Achievement Test. Also, in competitions like Math Quiz bee and Science Quiz bee, Pitogo High School also places in regional and national competitions. Not to mention, our school has successfully reached the international level in competitions like Robotics and Research Club. This proves that we aren't just for looks.

A closer look to the inside, even if we lack materials and facilities, it doesn't get way it our studies. The teachers here makes sure that we will be able to learn efficiently. They will out most do their best in order to provide us the things that we need.

Bad habits over Good Habits

Habits are routines that we usually repeat regularly. Everyone has a their own habit, a good one or a bad one. These habits affects our lives in different ways. It may do good things to us or the opposite.

One of my habits is playing games and surfing the net. Even though my parents always scold me, I always do what I wanted to do. I only realize that I was wrong after doing it. Because I prioritize using computer instead of studying, sometimes I get less time to sleep and to study. That's why I have to control this habit. I must manage my schedule so that I could balance my time.

Not to mention, I also have a good habit. I always do things ahead of time. When I have assignments and projects, I always finish it before doing anything so that i wouldn't get away on what I'm doing. One example is I always clean the house before using computer so that my parents won't mock me when I'm playing games. It is really nice that I have this habit because I won't have to rush. So in order to sustain this good habit, I have to perform it all the time. It's not that hard because it's a "habit", the one's we always do.

It's Adventure Time!

How fun would it be to fight monsters with your friends, protect your friends and help those in needs? Well, if you're looking for that kind of adventure, then you better watch "Adventure Time". Following our main characters Finn the human and his bestfriend Jake the dog, we will see an adventure full of action and awesomeness.

What entices me to watch adventure time is it's cool fighting scenes, awesome graphics as well as the cute art. The story doesn't follow an actual plot but every episode is amazing. It may seems to be nonsensical and random, if you observe carefully you will notice there's more meaning on it. Just like in the episode where Finn vows to help everyone in need because of an incident when he was still a baby; he was stuck on a leaf with a "boom-boom" so no one dared to help him except for Jake's parents.  This scene is very similar to the  parable "The Good Samaritan".The show doesn't only showcase random scenes, it also enlightens us in a very interesting manner. That's what I like in this show.


Adventure Time: "Memories of Boom Boom Mountain"
Aside from those, the other things that attracts me is the graphics. When we say action adventure, we associate it with a more darker and harder atmosphere but it's the complete opposite. The characters and settings are drawn in a more lighter atmosphere. Instead of villain always having a grouchy face, in Adventure Time they also makes cute faces. The serious talk somehow became comical because they aren't having a serious face. They are drawn in a more cute way and the jokes aren't really hard to interpret so you can easily catch up to it.


Overall, the show is really good. It has a unique sense in it. The story isn't really common to other shows so you'll never get tired of watching it. On the other hand, you might want to watch it over and over again. So why don't you watch it?  I'm sure you'll have fun. =)

It's Supernatural!

From as a far as I remember, I have been an avid fan of action-packed anime like Dragon ball, Naruto, Bleach etc.What amazes me is that they possess supernatural abilities and they use it to fight for good. What if one day, I also have one?

If I would be given a chance to pick a Supernatural Powers then I would like to have a Mental Power. You have to ability to read minds, manipulate someone, psychokinesis, telepathy etc. They say that brains beat brawls. Even if you do not have super strength, you just have to out-brain them.

In those situation were people were given that kind of gift, people miss use it and use it to surpass others. Instead of using it help others you'll use it for your selfish intents. Like in the saying "With great powers comes great responsibility"; We better have to use it wisely. It would not benefit you to use it for evil intents thus it would bring misfortune.

Dreams and Reality :)

Everyone has a dream. Even if it's small or big, it is our desire to make it happen. No matter how long we dream of it, nothing will change if we don't act. If you want your dreams to became reality, then you should do something about it.

It is my dream to become a digital artist. Digital Artist creates an artwork with the use of digital technology. It is a new form of artwork called "Digital Art". Some example of it is the picture below:

http://browse.deviantart.com/digitalart/?qh=&section=&q=dota#/d2booku
made by : Izaskun (deviantart)
I may not have the artistic skills, it is my goal to achieve it. As long as I keep believing in myself, I know I can  do it. Just like Walt Disney said : “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” So, I have to start acting right now. Nothing will happen if I stay idle. So i have to practice drawing  right now and improve my imaginative skills and creativity.

Iron Man (Movie Review)

Have you ever wonder what the future looks like? When I hear the word "future", words like technology, robots and machines pops out in my mind. So, how about you? How do you picture the future in your mind?

(The Plot)

What enticed me to watch Iron Man is because it depicts what the future might looks like. The technology there is advance. Robots are now in handy. The story follows with the main character Tony Stark, the CEO of a large industrial company "Stark Industries" which produces different  military weapons. While demonstrating his new made weapon "Jericho",they were ambushed by a group of terrorist called "Ten Rings" and Tony was critically wounded. He passed out and wakes up inside a cave having an electromagnet in his chest that keeps the shrapnel that wounded him from reaching his heart. It was built by his fellow captive named "Yinsen". After that, the leader of the "Ten Rings" Raza offers Stark his freedom exchange for the Jericho Missile. Stark and Yinsen doubted that Raza will not keep his word so without the Terrorist knowing, they built a suit of armor to escape. After discovering their plan, the terrorist attacked the workshop. Yinsen sacrificed his life in order for Stark to escape. He burned down the terrorist's munition and he flies away. After returning, he announced to the public that his company will no longer manufacture weapons. Obadiah Stane, the company manager refused to his decision but Stark didn't listen. In his home, he improved further his armor suit creating itself a destructive weapon. He was labelled as the "Iron Man".


(Why watch Iron Man?)

You wouldn't want to miss the action-pack adventure of our genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist hero "Tony Stark" played by Robert Downy Jr. The futuristic setting filled with lots of machines and cool technology that we must see. The amazing special effects.  The awesome fighting scene . And we mustn't forget the appearance of the female lead character "Pepper Potts " played by Gwyneth Paltrow.

College life: The Beginning of a New Life

"College is the best time of your life. When else are your parents going to spend several thousand dollars a year just for you to go to a strange town and get drunk every night?"
- David Wood

Our teacher taught us the meaning of life in our Elementary days . In our High School days, the teacher prepares us to the challenges that we would face. And now that we're in College, a new challenge was unfold. It isn't very easy as those in earlier days. We have to be responsible now because there is no easy way out in College life.

I learned a lot of things now that I'm in College like:
(1) Unlike in our Elementary days,we take our challenges as a serious deal. I was just an happy-go-lucky person back then until I came to realize that I have to face life with more responsibility.
(2) We have to learn from our mistakes and develop it further. Committing mistakes just once is enough for us to learn from it.
(3)  You will have to work hard on your grades because you will have to show it on your job interviews.
(4) Your parents are spending a lot of money on your studies so don't take it for granted.
(5) Just like Francis Bacon said :“It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.” it means that the process of learning is the key on how we would understand the lesson. We must understand it fully for us to learn and apply it.
(6) It is important to keep intact with your friends. You might need their help in some of your problems.
(7) Manage your time. You must use your time wisely.
(8) Never forget to do your assignment. Surprise recitation might be possible.
(9) Take down notes the important things that the teacher says.
(10) Believe in yourself. Have a confidence that you will be able to pass the challenges that you will face.
Just Pray to God and he will hear you out :)
