Hello everyone! I hope, my readers still visit my page.

For now, I am just trying to make an update. Uhm, well, not really an update. A nonsense post, instead. HEHEH! I have nothing to share eh. Right at this very moment, I'm reading the late Bro. Felix Manalo's history. 

How are you guys?:)

HELLO..=)

Yoohoo!!It's really been a long time since the last time I posted an update. I never meant to abandon my account. It was just that I had nothing to share--even now. I'm just trying to make it active again.


I'm wondering if my readers (my friends) still visit my profile but with or without a reader, I just wanna continue writing my feelings. :)


HELLO everybody! 

Ewan ko.

"Intelligence is NOT the key to success."

Tsk! Again, naka-relate na naman ako sa kwentuhan namin ng aking tita kaninang umaga. Kung anuman iyon, basta walang kinalaman sa UTAK at DISKARTE. Parang naalala ko lang ang pagkukulang ng papa ko sa'kin, sa aming magkakapatid, from financial to moral support. Kung paanong ganyan, iyon yung pagkakaintindi nakalap kong kwento ng karera niya.

Something to this effect:

My dad worked in a company where he was one of the authorities. It so happened that the company came to the brink of bankruptcy. Since he was known to be a good CPA, Landbank tried to court him proposing a lower position but was willing to give him a salary equal or higher than what he got from the other company. He declined the offer. Siguro bilang nagpapahalaga at loyal na empleyado sa kumpanya...

Napakasayang talaga! Kung hindi niya siguro ni-reject yung offer ng Landbank, di kami naghihirap ngayon.

Prayers answered..

hindi ko matantya kung ilang buwan na akong nagtitiis sa pabalik-balik na sakit ng ulo ko, usually, sa hapon at umaga sumasakit. Hindi ko na din matandaan kung kelan pa ako nagkaroon ng blurred vision pag nagbabasa ng libro sa harap ng klase. Alam kong hindi na normal 'to, nabanggit ko na din naman sa parents ko pero wala pa akong pampa-check up sa ngayon. Ganyan kasi talaga pag dukha (di bale, mukhang mayaman aman..HAHA!). I must admit, I am very weak in handling emotional problems and at the same time, I am not vocal with such problems to anyone. And yes! I have n\been told many times that I appear emotionally strong and nothing in my actions would indicate that I am the other way around—vulnerable. But mind you, I am not hiding my vulnerability. I just do not want to talk about my feelings (except when blogging).

The good thing is that, I have recently started actively joining our church' activities and it's enlightening to do so.

If I were to compare my disposition now and before I have come to this realization, I would say “goodbye to my good old self”. I have wished of nothing but to attain peace of mind. Now that He granted my prayers, why leave the right track? I may not be bestowed material possessions, being blessed with spiritual gain, I am confident and optimist that no matter what this life would take me in, He will light my path.

Thanks to the kid who taught me how to prioritize and what to put first in everything I do. He's right. Put God first and do everything that glorifies Him.

Sa sobrang sakit ng ulo ko kagabi, di ko na alam ang gagwin ko at parang walang laman ang utak ko. Ang kaisa-isang naisip ko, magpunta ng kwarto at manalangin. It isn't the first time, effective talaga ang pananalangin. Hindi naman kasi ako yung tipong marunong at di nakakalimot manalangin pero kahit ganun, I still feel the presence of God in my life. And having Him up there should be the greatest thing to be treasured, hindi ang material wealth.

kabanas lang

until now, di ko pa rin makalimutan yung school nurse na 'yon....

I went to the dean of women yesterday to get admission slips for i already have three absences, one in my math class which is scheduled MWF and two in my PE subject scheduled TTh. 

i scribbled "recurring headache" as reason of my absences with my absences dated July 11, 12 and 14; Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. When Ma'am Mila, the dean of women noticed my reason saying "recurring is what?" and "pabalik-balik Ma'am" i replied. "Did you go to a doctor for check up?" she asked again. "Mam nah. I am not used to." I answered. Well, to make it short. She advised me to see the doctor in our school since consultations in school clinic is included in our tuition fee. Then  she signed my admission slips on the "excused" field.

at the school clinic where i met the school nurse....

me: good morning ma'am.

gave me a questioning stare.

me: Ma'am (Mila) Pataueg told me to go here because of the reason i wrote here (referring to my admission slips).

nurse: recurring headache? umiinom ka ba ng gamot?

me: nah mam... i am not used to taking medicines.

nurse: nagpa-check up ka ba?

me: (shook my head) i am not used to.

*siningit niya pa makipag-usap sa mga kasama niya sa clinic at sinabing, "in fairness, ang bait ni mam mila ha. kung ganitong reason lang di tatanggapin ni sir cantong (the dean of men)."

nurse: i can't give you excuse letter with your admission slips past-dated.

me: maam mila told me to have at least, a check up because she thinks it might be another sickness.

nurse: do you have medical certicate?

me: yes mam, back in 2007.

nurse: nasa'yo?

me: i left it in the school i attended in 2007 mam.

nurse: panu to? (checking my admission slips) absent ka ng 11, 12 at 14 with the same reason. (with a hint of doubt as if it was a lie)

*siningit na naman makipag-usap sa mga kasama niya and told them the same line.

me: it actually happens [almost] everyday mam. especially upon waking up, and in the afternoon.

nurse: have you experienced blurred vision?

me: yes ma'am. sometimes, i can't see what's written on the book when i am reading in front of the class.

nurse: ganito na lang, sa ophthalmologist ka magpunta, kasi sabi mu nga lumalabo ang paningin mo. baka kaya ka nagkakaganyan.

me: sige mam. thank you! (and left)

* sa totoo hindi lang tatlong beses niyang isiningit ang makipag-usap sa mga kasama niya samantalang nandon pa akong kaharap at kausap niya, oras ng trabaho eh. bago pa ako makatayo sa kinauupuan ko, nakipag-usap na naman sa mga kasam niya at inulit ulit lang yung paulit ulit niyang sinabi..muntikan kong sinabihan na “wag mo isiping gawa gawa ko lang yan. Unless it’s simply because you yourself used to do it during your college days.” buti nahabaan ko pa ang pasensya ko.

Bubu din kasi ako. I mistakenly dated one of my admission slips with July 14 instead na July 7.

Recheck...

Masaya lang ako ngayong araw dahil, sapagkat, pagakat….
nagkaroon kami ng quiz sa accounting2 (Accounting for Partnership and Corporation). Bagama’t, kahit…kinakabahan ako noong una sa magiging resulta ng trabaho ko dahil hindi naman kasi tagala ako gaanong nakikinig sa classroom discussion at lalong di nagbabasa o advance study, halos makuha ko lahat ang tamang sagot. Kung masipag nga lang kasi ako mag-recheck ng trabaho ko, malamang nakita ko din ang error ko.
Tungkol sa admission of new partner by investment ang quiz.
I’m sure, there are still some who can relate with accounting matters.


Here’s the problem.

CASES:
1) 1/5 interest in the partnership with a capital credit equal to his investment.
2) 1/5 interest in the partnership with total agreed capital of 650000pesos.
3) 30% interest in the partnership with total agreed capital of 650000pesos.

*Sadly, hindi ko nasagot ng tama yung number 5 sa kadahilanang (gaya nung nakaraang linggo) mali ang TAC ko. Di pa ako sure kung yan yung tamang sagot sa case number5.
Kaya ikaw, lagi mong i-recheck sagot mu kung mahaba pa naman ang oras o kung may oras pa..^^

late bloomer

Firstly, I wanna talk big about my four-year-old nephew. His mom informed me that he’s accelerated from preparatory. To what level, I forgot to ask. He just makes us even prouder.

After ignoring Him for almost a month, I still got the answer to my prayer—that He may help me straighten my path. Yes! I neglected attending worship services for almost a month, and I finally came to my senses yesterday and was able to attend pagsamba. And believe it or not, I gave my sincere thanks to Him.

These past days, I noticed the very change in me. I have gained interest in studying; unlike before that I’d even choose not to enter my minor subjects. I am very thankful of this.

Amidst my plaguing headache this day, I went to school though I admit that I couldn’t concentrate on the lectures being delivered. We had a quiz in our major subject, accounting 2 this afternoon but even though I didn’t have my perusal before we’re given the quiz, I was confident that I would pass it. Ugh.. only to find out that everything I answered was wrong. Sa accounting kasi, one error would result to a total mistake. Hay naku!

Konteng update lang muna ngayon. Next time, I’ll post my practice tests/problems on accounting.^^

drama ba?

Yesterday…

Classmate 1: ano ang height mo?

Me: 4’9”

Classmate 2:  4’3” yata eh? (Biro niya)

Me: (smiling) aanhin mu naman ang kantangkaran mu kung wala ka namang “face” at “utak”?

Classmate 1: tumigil ka na!

Ahaha… di ko naman inasahang matatamaan siya.. well, was just stating some sort of truth.:D

I just wanna talk (or maybe speak) about my parents this time. First, I’d like to introduce the family members with few lines about them and using their aliases.

Daddy cool. Intelihente, mathematician, chess wizard and walking dictionary. FEU commerce graduate with major in accounting, CPA. And actually, ayun sa nakalap kong info, top five siya noon sa CPA licensure exam. Sadly, these are the few things I can brag about speaking of him.

Mommy: plain housewife na lagging wala sa bahay. :D

        Elementary undergrad.

Shobis: eldest in the brood of nine. She already has 5 kids of her own. Rebelde. Akala ko dati, akin ang tronong “black sheep of the family” pero papatalo ba naman yan sa katusuhan? Totoo naman.  She fit the title.

Hopper: best brother in the world not because he shoulders my school expenses but because he’s blessed with a pure heart.

Ben: Masipag. Not vocal for his care for his siblings.

Jhong: Quick-tempered.

Wating: a young dad. Tatay ng paborito kong pamangkin.

Kunyang: not yet a registered nurse. Uulitin ko ba? Graduate ng nursing. Hihi

Shang: napaka-caring na ate.

Shao (ako): pinakatopakin sa pamilya.:D

        Matalas ng dila.

Abbo: Bunso namin na kung umasta, parang mas matanda sa’kin.

Yun naman. But NOTE: hindi naman ito sa paninira sa kahit sa sino sa miyembro ng aming pamilya. Be open-minded when you attempt to read this post.

Nag-uusap kasi kami ng ate Kunyang ko kaninang tanghali about dad and mom. Badtrip kasi ako ke mudra. I arrived home yesterday to get my allowance from her only to find out na wala na naman siya sa bahay. Ang plano ko kasi, babalik din ng Bayombong para tapusin ang lahat ng assignments na iniwan ng aming propesor.

Sabi ng ate, bakit daw ganun sila. Mom wants us to treat and respect her as a real mother above everything but my ate pointed out that how are we gonna be the way mom wants us to be if in the first place, she herself fails to be a good example to us? Anjan kang halos araw araw murahin, lagi siyang wala. Ate even came to the point of comparing my mom to the other moms. Na bakit daw sina ganito, tamad naman gaya namin pero di sila minumura ng mama nila? I’d often contradict my sister’s perception of what my parents display saying “ikaw lang naman ang nagsasabi niyan eh.”

Don’t get me wrong, I love my mama and papa so much even they are very far from perfect parents. Minsan, kasi chocolate lover si papa, I’d buy him pasalubong, prepare a cup of coffee for him kasi mahilig din sa kape, o di kaya naman i-prepare ang pagkain niya. Si mama naman, di ko maiparamdam sa gawa ang pagmamahal ko sa kanya pero lagi kong sinasabi na pag nakapagtapos ako, i-spoil’in kosiya.

Halos lahat kaming magkakapatid may sama ng loob sa kanila the fact nakita naman namin ang pagkukulang nila. spiritual man o moral na paalala wala naibigay ang parents namin. Kung tutuusin, hindi naman masasabing mga suwail kaming anak sa kanila dahil kahit malaki ang pagkukulang nila, di namin sila binabastos.

Sino ba naman kasi ng mag-aakalang isang CPA (si papa), dukha? Ganito kasi, nasa mataas na posisyon sa isang kumpanya ang aking tatay noon at the same time, nililigawan siya ng ibang kumpanya sa mas mababang posisyon pero tutumbasan nila o higitan ang sweldo niya sa isang kumpanya. Ma-pride nga daw si papa dahil siguro visible na din nang mga panahong iyon na mababankrupt na yung pinagtatrabahuan niya, ni-reject niya yung mas malaking kumpanya.

Looking at the case positively, I may not be raised by perfect parents, their imperfections serve as my guide of how I will mold myself in order to become a good parent (if lucky to be one) someday.

Isa pa, sila ang gumawa sa’kin kaya ko naman naranasan kung paano mabuhay. Naranasan kong umiyak, masaktan, magmahal, magpaiyak, manakit at lahat lahat kaya dapat akong magpasalamat sa kanila.

Kung hindi dahil sa kanila, di ko makikita kung anong klaseng buhay ang nais kong iparanas sa magiging anak ko (kung nagkakaroon). Siyempre, di ko ipaparamdam at ipaparanas lahat ng karanasang di ko nagustuhan.

Iyon lamang muna sa ngayon.

sa tingin mo?:P

I am just stuck with the story we viewed this morning as part of our general psychology subject lecture.

It was a real story that displayed how young and juvenile youths were deprived of their rights as children--of their right to live their lives as real kids--to have fun and to pursue education.

I thought I can consider myself as one of the poorest citizens of this country but having watched such a story made me realize how far lucky I am compared to them. I admit, I really see life so tough and hard and challenging that sometimes, I would think of giving up instead of going on. It seems that life really goes unfair. Why is it that some could easily get anything they wish of having and do what they wish of doing and yet, here I am, one of those unfortunate for not having this kind of privilege. Somehow, I am thankful to have this realization that I am just being unreasonable in my way of thinking. So what, if I am not showered with earthly possessions? Like the lads who worked hard in the movie just to get going amidst the difficult toil they were into, life's uncertainties shouldn't stop me from dreaming that one day, I can attain the life I aim for.
For the time being, I may find it hard to ease away the pangs of envy I feel whenever I see my high school batch-mates who are already through with the hardships a college life brings about, I should not let it bring me down.
Back to the film we watched. There were boys and girls alike ranging 13 to 15 years old who, if not personally chosen to engage in a sort of farm works, were forced by their parents to leave school and go with them to find money meager to cover the debt of the family.
It may be a pitiful reality of my existence though, I admit that I can't recall a moment where either of my mom or dad taught me how to do house chores, or how to be courteous. I grew up in my own ways, of course with the help of environmental causes. When I was still an innocent kid, I would just do whatever I thought I could then when a point came that my parents would notice I got in the wrong track then time for them to rebuke me but the sad part was that I could not grasp why they say or do this or that. Can you imagine? It resulted to unmotivated me. Yes, the unmotivated me. The point in relation to the youths in the film is that how come I am weak-spirited compared to them who were raised poorly yet, they could still manage to portray a happy life? Poorly in the sense that they hardly enter school, they ate lesser than enough and worst, they themselves worked for their own when in fact, they should just enjoy being kids as how exactly kids of their age live.
On the other hand, it simply proves how poor Filipinos can be. I just do not know who worth the blame for the population of poor Filipino citizens. The government or the parents themselves?

happy birthday?

It may seem like another ordinary day of my life though it's my day-- i just turned 21.

Early this morning at around 8, a warm smile of my sister greeted me, though not a word came out from her mouth, i knew and i sensed from her warm smile, she wanted to greet me happy birthday. All I had in mind upon getting up from bed was that nothing's special, nothing to celebrate and no need to celebrate. Well, I really planned not to prepare foods for celebration, all I wanted to do weeks earlier is to have fun all by myself but even that simple idea I've got to come up with had been cancelled. It almost left me in tears actually but I didn't want to look stupid just because of small disappointments!

What I couldn't almost accept was that none of my house-mates bothered to greet me as though they were saying "it's-her-birthday-and-so-what"! Then after a while, my phone rang and lot of greetings from friends received. Next was a phone call from my best friend Joy which is the most special blessing for me this day.
