16- SMT (Segunda Manong Tao)

"Alam mo namang ginagamit ka lang pero nagpapagamit ka pa rin. Wala eh, tanga eh."

Sa panahon ngayon, marami ka na talagang makikita ng mga taong mang-gagamit at nagpapagamit. Mga nagpapatanga at mukhang tanga. Mga taong makapal ang mukha at mga taong manipis ang mukha. Mga nang-aabuso at nagpapa-abuso. Bakit nga ba ganon mag-isip ang isang tao? Bakit nauso ang mang-gamit ng TAO? Nagsawa na ba silang gumamit ng BAGAY at napag-isipan na lang nilang mang-gamit ng TAO?

Sabi nga nila, bawat pangyayari ay may rason o may dahilan. "So ibig sabihin may dahilan kung bakit nang-gagamit o nagpapagamit ang isang tao?" Oo naman.Walang nangyayaring pangyayari (ang gulo eh) na hindi nabibigyan ng dahilan. LAHAT ay may dahilan, LAHAT may rason. Kung sinabi man ng isa na kaya trip nya lang ang gawin ang bagay, nagsisinungaling lang siya. Pero ang pino- point out ko nga pala dito ay yung mga reasons kung bakit nagpapagamit ang isang tao.

1. Masyadong mabait.
May ibang tao na sobrang bait talaga, na hindi nila kayang makita yung isang kaibigan nila or isang stranger na nahihirapan. Kaya naman kesa sa tulungan ang sarili nila, mas inuuna nila yung kapwa nila.

2. "Mahal ko siya eh" 
Maraming gantong tao ngayon. Lahat gagawin nila para mapasaya, mapa-impress yung mahal nila. Lahat ng utos ni crush, gagawin talaga nila lahat. Kahit pa mag mukha silang tanga.

3. "Shunga"
May mga tao nga lang talaga na tatanga-tanga (sorry for the word though). Halatang- halata na ginagamit na sila, hindi pa rin nila nararamdaman. Akala nila ang tingin pa rin sa kanila ay kaibigan yun pala ginagamit lang pala sila. Nakakaasar yung mga gantong tao pero hindi mo rin kasi sila masisisi eh. May iba talaga na gagawin ang lahat para lang ma-maintain yung friendship nila, nakakaawa lang.

Marami pang mga rason kung bakit nagpapagamit ang isang tao, pero sa tingin ko eto yung mga pinaka-common.

15- This Love

"There's a weird pleasure in loving someone who doesn't love you."

http://orig06.deviantart.net

Many people have been experiencing an unrequited love. But what is unrequited love? According to research, unrequited love or one-sided love is love not that is not openly reciprocated or understood as such by the beloved. The beloved may not be aware of the admirer's deep and strong romantic affection or consciously reject it. It is the love that is not returned. Whether you are the one who loves or is loved, it can be painful experience. The hurt is real but you're not alone.

This love have been part of our humanity. We can't consider ourselves human if we don't experienced this kind of love. I, myself have also this kind of love and also an unconditional love. Wiz Khalifa said "The worst feeling is pretending you don't care about something, when really it's all you seem to think about." Sometimes, you just gotta be your own hero and save your own little heart. Because sometimes, the people you can't imagine living, can actually live without you. I just want to share my experience on this love.

I've devoted all of my life in that love. When I tend to fall on someone, I knew that it's only me who'll be making a move. I still don't receive the kind of love that I'm wanting (I'm preferring to the partner-kind of a relationship). But as the bible said. there is a time for everything.

I knew from the very start that I will only hurt myself, but then I couldn't stop myself on loving that person. I tried so many times, but still I can't. I'm confused, pissed, agonized and exasperated. I can't live my life without loving someone, don't know why.

If I started to fall on a person (obviously), I'll do anything to make them happy and satisfied. Sometimes, I imagine if they could fall on me also, but it's just an imagination so. I find myself so frustrated and wanting, but I think it's kind of a common to us. Seems that it will always be like a domino. I fall for them, they fall on the other, that's just how life goes on. There's just only a pinch of chance that the person you love will fall on you also.

Even if my mind always imagine that things that I would love to do with my loved ones, I still don't push my limit to be really the one for my love. Because I have this kind of feeling that I shouldn't be on that borderline. I have the feeling that if I push myself hard, something bad will happen. And I don't want that to happen of course. So, whatever you say and think, I think that being friends will be fair enough for me to handle. Although sometimes, I'm hurt when they are intimately with someone, but who am I to stop them. I'm just a mere friend, and so I thought it would be.

I can't help but to give them my unconditional love. I accept the fact that they will never fall for me. I just don't expect such things. Only God will be the one to decide, and I just have to wait and be patient. Even though my heart have been pierced, crushed, and have been broken. Still, it won't stop me for giving my love on them. Because that's just how my life goes on.

As what Johnny Depp said, "You can close your eyes to the things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel."

14- Surviving First-term in APC

"How was your first term in APC?" 

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCyJuBgo5VxrgV-q47hej7AnqLreC-mU3c79p1SOk1wszwp5NH9FeT8g3VhhvLdGGBNaoRBMhliyim3zhhZg1UW64xq-mOx2pbPx8oOMYwaObJ6H_gKn8c95hYJhlo6mkHA6xKAcNHKlrs/s1600/school_holidays-300x224.jpg

We've survived! Whoo! First term is now done!! Goodbye English Term!! Hello Programming Term!! Hello Math and Physics Term huhuhu~~ anyway, let's just celebrate for the term-break. 


June 3, 2015, the day wherein the start of struggles came. The day that made me realize that I should be working for my English speaking skills. I was really surprised that our term was an All-English term. At the very first, I thought it would be easy, because it's just English. Just all about parts of speech, figures of speech, nouns, singular or plural, constructing of sentence, reading comprehension.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02532/bills_2532826b.jpg
But I've awakened, from a long sleep, from lethargy and realized that I should start moving and practice my English speaking skills. It's been a hard time for me to adjust in this kind of environment, really. Especially if in every meeting, there's always an public speaking activities (ugh!). Hearing my block mates' speeches made me really nervous and anxious about myself because they are really good at speaking English. Some had a great fluent of speaking, some are just speaking casually but it's still great. In every single day, I started to hate public speaking. They are much more worst than a bunch of age problems and formulas in Mathematics, more tiring than in Physical Education and much brainstorming than Science. We always do the cramming (well of course, it's pretty common for students) even though we really want to stop this kind of habit.

http://goinswriter.com/wp-content/uploads/big-struggle-630x418.jpg
And in my first-term journey, we also encountered the struggles of writing a bunch of essays. When we heard that our Technical Writing class won't be discussing anything, we felt a little happiness because we really don't want to listen in boring discussions. But then, we regretted those things that we have felt when we started writing non-stop of essays. And just like the other public speaking classes we are attending, in every single day, we will write essays or share some current events that have been happening to the world and to our country. Oh, I really hated it.

https://a.disquscdn.com
Not just the public speaking and the writing of essays that I really hate but also understanding such confusing instructions in my Expository Writing class. Every time that our professor will tell us to do something, she will give confusing instructions. And when we ask her to repeat for one more time, she already forgotten it and start from the beginning again and it's so frustrating! She even put a mathematical logic on her final examination which made us think "Why do we answer such Math logic, when this is an English class?". Such irony have been made on that time, and made my mind really grrrr...

But despite all the hard times, I've still appreciated the moments that I've experienced for the past 3 months. I learned how to speak English quite well (I think? haha), and learned how to write a good essay. All those things that made us suffer, make us more great and skillful than we've ever imagined. Such moments happens for a valuable reason, and that valuable reason should keep us be more inspired in everything we do.

Although, I'm happy that for the meantime our All English-Term struggles came to an end, I still can't stop the fact that I will miss the moments that I've experienced in that term. And I'm really thankful to the teachers that had taught us great lessons and gave us real struggles... I mean real projects.

13- Preparation for Zombie Apocalypse

"When there's no more room in HELL, the dead will walk the EARTH."

Have you ever imagined yourself as Bill or Zoey from the game Left 4 Dead, or Glenn from the TV series "The Walking Dead"? Do you felt some blood thirst after playing or watching them? Do you want to be like them?

I know most of you wanted, because they seem so cool. But then, we couldn't be like that if we don't know the ways of being a survivor. So here am I, to tell you some tips and advice on how to be a certified zombie survivor:

1. Establish a safe house:
First and foremost, you have to establish a safe house. You can stock your supplies and weapons there. It's much safer than staying outside and play tag with zombies. It would be better if you put some traps around it.

2. The supplies:
Stocking of supplies is really important. Buy many as you want, because you might not have the chance to buy some food supplies again. Buy the ones that are really important like food, water, candles and some medicines.

3. Communication systems:
Charge all of your gadgets as early as possible. Better if you have a radio because sometimes we can't make use of phones due to poor signals.

4. Choosing of weapons:
Choose weapons that are silent like sniper rifles or pistols with silencer. Others don't recommend machine guns and rifles for zombie killing because their gunshots are too loud. If you were to kill one zombie, you will trigger some other zombies and you've just make yourself their happy meal.

5. Ammunition:
Make sure you have lots of them in your basement and in your pockets. It might be heavy for you when you run but it's better to have one rather than ran out of ammo and you have no choice but to run.

6. Handling weapons:
Also, make sure that you are good at handling any kind of weapons. It might be easy for games, but then on the reality it's not easy as you think. You cannot kill a zombie if you don't put much effort and strength on you weapon.

7. Clothing and footwear:
Analysts recommend to wear a long-sleeved shirt and some pants. It will protect your skin from predators and also from the sun and treacherous terrain. In footwear, make sure you wear boots. Much better if combat boots, tennis shoes or snickers. You may have to break a dead sprint at any time. Don't wear flip flops or heels, you're committing suicide!!

8. Planning an escape plan:
If you knew that there's a way to escape the apocalypse then come up with a plan. And if for some odd reason your house isn't safe to stay in, you'll need to get out as soon as possible. But then, if you can stay in your house, you should.

9. Improvised weapons:
If you can't afford to buy firearms, you could use kitchenware like frying pans, stoves, spoon and fork. It might look stupid when you use this but it's not bad as you think. Don't be bothered on using them just because they are simple. Simple weapons are the most powerful.

10. Be positive and brave:
Probably the hardest way to do but then it's an effective way to survive longer. I didn't say that you should be happy for what's happening. Just don't panic and stay positive.

We can't be sure when the zombie apocalypse will occur. But it's best for us to know about it and prepare before it's too late. These ways could also help us not just in zombie apocalypse but in other situations also. Once you've learned how to be independent, how to fight and how to manage the situation. I assure you that you will be the last man standing. This will be all about my post for today and MAY THE ODDS BE IN YOUR FAVOR.

12- Chums

"How does it feel to have a true friends?"

Friends, also known called as a companion, familiar, buddy, comrade or chum. But let me choose "chum" because it sounds so cute. Anyway, these are the people who are willing to help you at anytime you need, and they DON'T LEAVE YOU WHEN YOU'RE AT THE VERGE OF DANGER. They Fight for you, Respect you, Include you, Encourage you, Need you, Deserve you, and Stands for you.

To be honest, not all of the people that I've talked and met are really my friends. Some are just acquaintances, some are just... you know...clingy or just taking advantage of me. We all do have these kinds of friends... friends that really ENDS. Friends that has an expiration date. Friends that doesn't really look you as a friend. We all have these kinds...

http://orig02.deviantart.net/029e/f/2013/092/b/f/cute_anime_couple_by_angelwing765-d6092jz.jpg
Based on my experiences, having friends are really easy. You just talk to someone, amuse them, make your presence stronger then POOF! you're friends. But to find a real friend is pretty hard, because you have so many FRIENDS. But then according to a quote, your true friends will be revealed when you have encountered hard times. And it's very true and I'm shocked that it's not too many. It made me somehow, disappointed because those people who I thought are my real friends, are the ones who are really not. But despite of disappointment, I still appreciated my real friends, and I'm really glad that even though it's not that many, it's better than nothing.

I feel so amused, comfortable, happy and free when I'm with my chums. Having them, is pretty enough for me. I just want a person who could help me when I'm in a hard time, having fun with me, brave enough to introduce me as a friend, and the most important (for me)... I just want a person who will never forget me even if we don't see each other. Having to notice my presence will make me really happy. I know it's kinda shallow but it's really really important to me. Because I've experienced to be forgotten in so many times, and I've hated that. I'm sick of it.

It's more painful to be forgotten by a friend rather than breaking up with your boyfriend/ girlfriend, well that's my opinion though. The memories you've shared with your friends are much more different than the moment you could get to your partner.



I'm really grateful and thankful to God because He had given me a lots of wonderful and real friends in my life. And because of them and also my family of course, part of my life have been meaningful and colorful. They've given me hope and strength to move on. I cannot imagine my life without my friends, that's too drastic.

11- NO SMOKING

"APC's anti-smoking campaign (Are you a smoker or not)"  

"Are you a smoker or not?" Of course, no! That's why I'll support the campaign of our school (Asia Pacific College's anti-smoking campaign). And I'll tell you what and why. 

http://www.bridgewaybh.com/wp-content/uploads/3-excuses-for-smoking-1.jpg
Smoking is a practice in which a substance is blazed and the subsequent smoke took into be tasted and ingested into the circulation system. Meaning it is really harmful to our body. But even if it's still harmful to our body, why do some people still continuing to smoke? Pretty ironic isn't it?

Back in 1000 BC, people (Mayans to be exact) used tobacco leaves in smoking and chewing also. They used this for shamanistic and medical purposes. Nowadays, smoking is used for pastime, for movies, and also for making themselves cooler. This is how great the smoking had influenced us.

http://inhabitat.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/2011/03/cigarette-butts.jpg
According to what I've observed in my surroundings, it's not only the people who are in danger but also the nature. Because according to research, smoking affects the environment the most, resulting into air, water and land pollution. And did you know that because of excessive use of cigarettes, many trees are being cut down. In an hour, cigarette producing unit requires right around 4 miles of paper for moving and bundling of the cigarettes. Just to deliver 300 cigarettes, one tree is being lavished for the production of the cigarettes as well as the chemical wastes from the manufacturing unit is likewise dumped into dirt. Subsequently, it is clear that the cigarettes are in total adding huge strain on the body and also to the environment.

http://www.mb.com.ph/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/403.jpg
Really, smoking is up to no good. They make people's health be weak, destroys the environment and yet others still continued smoking. Ugh! I feel like I want to be on beast mode right now!! How heartless are those people who don't even care about the environment and for their health also. The Philippines had implemented that the liquor and cigarettes will be much expensive but still many people (even those whose moneys are at stake) kept on buying just for the sake of their own satisfaction.


If only the people will stop smoking and drinking, I wonder how great our world will be. But I know that, stopping the smoking habits is really hard, because your used to it. My father told me so, because he experienced how hard to stop smoking. Because it's pretty normal now for him to get cigarettes every time, and for him it's part of his daily time. Just like us teens, we can't complete the day without surfing the net, play games, or login to Facebook. But then, in all those hardships that he have encountered, he managed to stop smoking for the sake of his health, and we are really happy for him. It's really a big achievement not just for him but also for us.

What I meant is, it's not too late to stop smoking. And if you really have a HEART then, you should realized by now how worse can the smoking do. Stop smoking when you still have a chance, don't wait for a disease to come because you'll regret it sooner or later. But then, if you cannot really stop yourself then don't just smoke daily, smoke once a week or twice a month... just don't smoke daily and I think you'll be okay.
