Si Yolanda

Maraming beses na tayo nadaanan ng bagyo. Halos hindi na nga natin mabilang kung ilan na sila. Pero bakit ganun sa tuwing may mga malalakas na bagyong darating sa ating bansa,

Kailangan ba talagang may mamatay?

Nakakalungkot sa pakiramdam ang nangyari sa mga tao na nasa Leyte expecially Tacloban City, 

Napakadaming tao ang nasawi at nagdurusa sa mga oras na ito habang sinusulat ko itong blog na to.

Sobrang nakikiramamay ako sa kanila, wala akong magawa kundi magalay lang na isang taimtim na panalangin para sa kanila na sa kabila ng trahedyang ito wag sila manghinaan ng loob at ituloy parin ang buhay na nasimulan nila. 

Nakakakilabot ng makita ko sa balita ang naging itsura ng leyte matapos silang daanan ni Yolanda.

Hindi pa nga nakaka get over ang ilang kababayan natin noong lindol tapos ganito naman agad ang

bumungad satin.

Masasabi ko talagang ang mga pinoy ay napakatapang at napakatatag na pagdating sa mga ganitong unos. Dahil kahit ilang trahedya man ang dumaan sa atin hindi tayo nawawalan ng pagasa na tumayo at ipagpatuloy kung ano man ang dapat ipagpatuloy.

Hindi pa Huli ang lahat. Pwede pa tayo magbigay ng tulong sa kanila. Maraming pwedeng lapitan. Kahit ano pa yan basta magagamit ng mga kababayan natin, malaking bagay na sa kanila yun. Nang hindi nila maramdaman na nagiisa sila. kung hindi man tayo makakapag bigay  ng donation ipagdasal nalang natin sila.

Ganun pa man ang pinoy ay pinoy.. babangon at babangon pa rin yan..
kahit ilang unos pa ang dumating sa buhay niyan..

Clinical Case # 1: Weakness

Clinical Case #1: Muscular System - Medicine

Case: Weakness

Introduction

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is a well-established phenomenon. When the symptoms of thyrotoxicosis are separated from the clinical picture, many features of this disease are identical to those of familial hypokalemic (Decrease in Potassium) periodic paralysis. Patients with thyrotoxic periodic paralysis have recurrent muscular weakness of the four extremities, affecting mainly the lower extremities. The onset of paralytic attacks usually coincides with the onset of hyperthyroidism, though overt findings of thyrotoxicosis are rarely present with the initial paralytic attack (as exemplified in our case 1 patient). In some cases, the periodic paralysis is the sole manifestation of the hyperthyroidism. A clinically distinguishing characteristic of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis includes predominance in men, with a male-to-female ratio of 11:1.2 This is in contrast to hyperthyroidism alone in the general population, in which women are predominantly affected. The age of onset is usually in the third to fifth decades of life.

For instrumentalists: please bring your portable keyboard, guitar, and string instrument.

As a member of Choir in our Chapel, Napakahalaga ang pag attend sa mga ganitong workshop upang mas mahasa ang aming mga boses sa pagkanta at matuto ng ibat-ibang paraan para mas lalo naming mapalinang ang aming mga talento pagkanta.

Sabi nga ni Father Jboy Gonzales, Ang pagpapasalamat namin ay ginagawa namin sa pamamagitan ng pag-awit ng papuri at pasasalamat sa ating panginoon dahil binigyan niya kami ng talentong umawit. As a worker of church, hindi lang yun ang dahilan kung bakit kami umaawit. Umaawit din kami para mas maipadama namin sa mga tao ang salita ng diyos. Kaya sa pamamagitan ng workshop na ito. mas maayos namin at maipapadala sa mga tao ng malinaw ang mga salita ng diyos para sa kanila.

Hindi lang mga chorale sa ibat ibang panig ng ating bansa ang nagsidalo dito. Nandito rin ang ibat ibang Chorale Groups na galing sa mga kilalang Colleges and Universtity sa ating bansa ilan sa kanila ay ang Bulacan State University at University of Sto. Thomas.

So guys imagine ah. Kung siya yung taong makakasama ninyo sa workshop and take note FREE voice lesson. Although mga basic lang naman yung tinuro niya nandun parin yung "ay pre si Jojo Velasco yan" kumbaga well known yan. Para saken its a great opportunity na makasama sa isang voice workshop ang isang magaling ang iginagalang na Jojo Velasco. Tinuruan niya kami ng ilang tips kung paano pa namin makakanta ng maayos ang mga lyrics ng isang piyesa na hindi tunog Nasal, na may quality ang boses, na hindi ipit ang boses. Itinuro rin niya kung paano i hit yung notesna mataas na hindi nagaalangan. Sabi nga niya "Kung iniisip mong maabot mo, Hindi mo raw ito maabot pero kung hindi mo iniisip na maabot mo to and thats the time na maabot mo ito" medyo nakakalito pero ganyan daw yun. kahit sa simpleng breathing exercise lang daw, Maraming factors na pedeng makaapekto. Sabi niya dapat daw pag kakanta ang buka daw ng bibig ay korteng pahikab. Then while singing ang dila daw ay kelangan naka relax lang na nakalapat sa baba hindi daw dapat ito malikot. May mga instances daw na ang isang member ng choir ay nanginginig daw ang boses par ma correct  daw yun kelangan niya mag pronounce ng "Sh" sound. Para naman daw sa mga nasal ang pagkanta they need to pronounce "G" "K " sounds ewan ko lang kung maging ngo ngo pa sila. Pagdating naman sa pagpronounce ng mga vowel sounds. "O" and "U" is for thickness, "E" "I" is i think for wideness, medyo nakalimutan ko na haha basta ganyan daw. tapos ang pinaka mahirap daw sa lahat ay ang "A" dahil it is a combination of the four vowels. And lastly ito ang pinaka nagustuhan ko sa lahat ng tinuro niya. ang technique kung paano mo mahihit yung high notes. Hindi mo raw kalingan ng Throat, nasal and Head, ang kailangan mo daw ay ang "Puson-nic power" para sa mga babae at "Pwet-Power" para sa mga lalake. Sa totoo lang natawa ako dito pero totoo pala talaga. So Amazing diba. Pagkatapos ng nakakabitin na workshop na yun. Nagsamasama na ang mga SATB at pumunta sa kanya kanyang respective  klasrum para ituro na daw samin yung mga kanta per voices.

Think Positive:Walang Aayaw

The Power of the Positive Inner Voice (Re-blog)

from: http://drnjbmd.wordpress.com/

Every year, many of my students start a new semester with the aim of changing anything that will make them more successful with their upcoming coursework. If there is one thing that you can change in the very next instant that will make the greatest difference in your performance, it can be that “inner voice” that tells you, “you are not good enough” or “this is a hard subject that I can’t do well in” or “I am not going be able to get all of this work done”.

It seems to be much easier to have an inner voice that is negative rather than positive. Many people are quick to employ the negative rather than the positive because the negative seems to be more believable. Most people are taught that a positive inner voice is the same as “patting your back” for non-achievement but the truth is that a positive inner voice is more about self-confidence than false self-aggrandizement. It is the confidence that one has to master in order to keep moving in a positive direction with any long-term goal. One has to believe that you will reach your goal in a series of small steps toward it on a daily basis.

Since you have total control over your “inner voice”, you can change anything that is negative such as “you are not good enough” to the positive such as “you are as good as anyone else” or make the change from “this is a hard subject that I can’t do well in” to “this may be a challenge but I will have small victories every day and get help the moment I need it”. In short, you can decide in the very next second that you will not listen to the voice that tells you what you “can’t accomplish” and replace that voice with one that tells you “what you have accomplished” and how you will keep accomplishing to meet any challenges head on.

Yes, students will fail exams and quizzes but learning from those failures will help make failing the complete course more remote. If you have never failed at anything in your life, you haven’t actually been tested. People who are untested do not develop the skills to learn from their failures and put them behind so that they can keep moving forward. If you keep spending precious time telling yourself what you “can’t accomplish” because of one set back, then you are likely to fulfill that negative inner voice that seems to be so tempting.

You can control how you react to a grade on a test or quiz. You can look at what you missed and make a careful assessment of what you need to work on so that you don’t keep making the same errors and master the material in a different manner. If you are only focused on the numerical score and not on mastery, you are likely to have difficulty integrating concepts and keeping concepts in your long-term memory (your goal for professional practice).

As I have stated many times on this blog, there has never been a course of study developed by one human being that another human being cannot master. Mastery of your studies does not take any super-human mental feats or membership in high-IQ societies but does take diligent and disciplined study for efficiency. If you use large amounts of time worrying about the rigor or the amount of material that you must master, you lose a great amount of efficiency. In the long run, your learning time for tasks and concepts becomes longer rather than shorter.

For example, as a junior surgical resident, I had to master many surgical procedures. If I had made a list of all of the procedures and cases that needed to be mastered, I would have been overwhelmed at the first case. Instead, I took each case as it came and worked on the fine points after I had mastered the major points. In short, by “divide and conquer”, I was able to master my procedures. I didn’t have the luxury to “think” about non-mastery as I ticked off things as they came under my review.

In residency, there is no person or class that pushes one to undertake daily reading and study. As the hours grow longer, it becomes easy to get behind unless one is vigilant. I set a goal of a minimum of 30 minutes of journal reading and 30 minutes of textbook reading per night with 2 hours on each Saturday/Sunday. I told myself, that I could get my goal accomplished and would get my reading goal accomplished. Like brushing my teeth, I quickly embraced my reading “habit” which meant that I was never behind when review for our yearly in-training exams came around. On same days, I did more because the habit made the task easier and more efficient.

During my residency research years, my reading schedule time tripled during the weekdays and was cut in half on the weekends because my time schedules changed drastically. When I went back to clinical work, it was difficult to stop reading and study because the habit had become so ingrained. I was amazed at the exponential learning that my solid reading schedule had afforded me during those research years. My reading and study efficiency had increased exponentially during this time which was the same exponential reading and study efficiency increase that I had experienced when I started medical school. In short, anything that becomes a habit becomes more ingrained/grooved and more efficient.

One can work on increasing confidence and from that one step, increase efficiency in almost any area of life that needs improvement. This improvement is invariably the result of one good habit leading to improvement in other aspects of one’s life. Just as when one starts a daily work-out program (can start with as little as 10 minutes per day), as the habit grows and becomes honed, other aspects of one’s life such as eating healthy and sleeping better start to improve.

What works for physical fitness can also work for mental fitness too. It always follows that people who are generally physically fit will experience less stress and more efficiency in their mental tasks. There have been plenty of scientific studies that show overall improvement in mood and health with increased physical conditioning. If you add mental conditioning in the form of adherence to a daily positive mantra, you are likely to see improvement in all aspects of your life too.You can start with one small change and keep reinforcing that small positive change on a regular basis. It only takes a change in the very next instant to embrace the positive and confidence that you can keep going which will keep you on the right track.

College: Anak ng Waterproof!

University of Sto. Thomas

Nararamdaman ko na... Kayo nararamdaman niyo na ba? Nagiging sunod sunod na ang pagpaparamdam ng ulan and sadly to say that summer season is almost finished. Ang tanong, Handa na ba kayo para salubungin ang mahabang panahon ng tag-ulan? Ako di pa! More days for summer please! Pero ganun talaga lahat may hagganan. Siyempre pagkatapos ng summer ano pa ang sunod? kundi ang pasukan nanaman. Yung iba excited kasi sa wakas makakahawak nanaman sila ng BAON! na matagal nilang inasam dahil nga bakasyon. Yung iba naman heto nanaman ang sunugan kilay at sangkatutak na mga projects at assignments. Panibagong taon nanaman para sa mga estudyante natin na nagaaral. Medyo level up na tayo ngayon kasi tumaas na ang level ng pagaaralan natin eh, maliban na nga lang kung isa ka sa mga studytante na bumagsak at umulit, saklap lang diba. Ang blog ko na to ay para sa mga incoming first year college students. Sa ngayon malamang naka enroll ka na at nakahanda na ang mga bago mong gamit na pangcollege. Syempre excited iniisip mo kung ano nga ba ang buhay college? at malamang may mga ilan-ilan ka naring napagtanungan kung anong klaseng buhay ba ang meron pagcollege. Pero dahil para sa inyo nga ang blog na to bibigyan ko kayo ng ilang tips at konting kaalaman kung ano bang mga nagaganap sa college life.

Ibang-Iba talaga dahil dito bahala kayo sa buhay niyo. Di katulad nung Highschool meron kayong adviser na nandyan palagi sa inyo. Kung dati may sarili kayong klasrum, sa college wala kayong permanenteng klasrum. Kung dati meron kayong permanenteng mga kaklase dahil may mga tinatawag pang II- Bl. John the Good IV- Makipot eh sa college wala ng mga ganyan kundi isa nalang ang tawag sa mga section, kundi "BLOCK" kasi parehas kayo ng sched kaya mo siya ka block sa subject na yun, pero sa ibang subject di mo siya ka klase. Pagdating sa studying techninque bahala ka sa buhay mo. Nandyan yung mga kaklase mong sobrang sisipag at yung iba sipag sipagan. Di naman nalalayo sa highschool yung type ng studyante pero dito kelangan madiskarte ka. hindi pedeng ok lang yan may next pa naman. Depende din sa Institution na pinasukan mo kung ano ba ang patakaran nila, yung iba dalawang sem lang sa isang taon at yung iba naman tatlong sem sa isang taon. Di kagaya ng Highschool na first to fourth quarter. Kung dati Monthly at periodical test ang pinaghahandaan mo, Sa college tatlong klase lang yan, Pre-lim, Midterm at finals.. pero depende parin sa school na pinasukan mo, dahil yung ibang school walang prelims.

Ano bang mas mahirap? College o highschool?

Malamang College. Ano yun tumataas ang level ng pagaaral tas padali ng padali? di ganun yun. Kung dati sa highschool eh nagbibigay ng consideration ang mga teachers ibahin mo sa college kasi ASA! ka pa. Eto pa ang pinakamalupit sa lahat. Kung sa highschool konting ulan lang eh suspended na ang klase. Sa College ASA! ka pa. Sabi nga nila waterproof na tayo pagdating ng college kahit yun bang nagliliparan na yung mga bubong at ma puno sa kalsada eh may pasok parin. BUWIS BUHAY! pero siyempre sariling instinct mo na yun at decision kung papasok ka. Eh kung ganun ba naman yung mga sasalubong sayo sa kalsada di na ko papasok nun noh!. Di ba ang sarap mag college.

BAHALA KA NA SA BUHAY MO!

Di naman sa nanakot ako, pero ganun talaga ang magiging sistema eh. Nandyan naman yung mga ka blockmates mo para tumulong sayo pero at the end ikaw parin talaga dapat ang tumulong sa sarili mo. The freedom is all yours! sabi nga nila. Di naman lahat ng masasama nasa college na eh. Actually kung di mo na-enjoy ang H.S life mo for sure mas maeenjoy mo ang college life! ikaw na kasi ang may control ng lahat ng gagawin mo. kalaban mo talaga dito ang sarili mo at oras. Lovelife? walang problema, as I have said before the freedom is all yours! pero syempre yung inspiring lovelife naman. Hindi yung  yun pa yung magiging dahilan para mawala ka sa pagaaral ng college. Nandyan yung mga labas labas kung saan tapos mapapalitan na yung course mo,  naging BUNTISTRY na! haha! dejoke :) hinay-hinay din naman. Hindi porket malaya ka na eh kahit yung mga maling bagay basta basta mo nalang din gagawin. Syempre dapat alam mo na ang priority mo. Sa mga oras at panahon din na to na marerealize mong oo nga tumatanda ka na at dapat maging mature na. Wag masyado kampante, kung alam mong may mga exams na parating magbasa at magaral ka. Hindi yung uunahin mo pa yung mga bagay na di naman masyado importante sayo. Organization? NAMAN! mas masaya ang college pag kasali ka sa organization. Marami yan! pero dapat pumili ka ng Org na angkop sa hilig at gusto mo at syempre dapat balance parin ang lahat. Loveife, Studies and Organization. So ano kaya mo ba? Hindi ka naman pinipilit na gawin mo lahat yan kasi depende parin sayo.

Magaral lang po ng mabuti para sa lahat. Tandaan pinagaaral kayo ng magulang niyo para naman sa mabuti at magandang kinabukasan ninyo. Nagpapakahirap sila guys, Hindi sila nagpapakasarap para lang matustusan nila ang TF niyo sa school. Magkaroon din tayo ng consideration sa mga magulang natin. Kung alam mong di kayo ganoon biniyayaan ng maraming pera eh wala kang karapatan mag loko at magbulakbol. Pero kung rich ka kahit ano gawin mo eh may pampaaral ka naman kaya GO! lang! haha! joke lang! Umayos ayos din naman kayo kahit papano. Konting hiya ba sa mga magulang niyo :)

So ayun sana marami kayong natutunan sa pag share ko ng kaunting kaalaman tungkol sa kung ano bang meron sa college. tandaan. MAG-ARAL!


Iwan ko nalang sa inyo itong video na nakita ko sa youtube.

Happy Fiesta: Our Lady Of Peace and Good Voyage

Our Lady Of Peace and Good Voyage (May 19, 2013), 27th Year

Happy Fiesta Barangay f. De Castro! 

Ngayong araw na ito ginunita ng mga taga Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Chapel Sunshine Homes Barangay F. De Castro ang kanila Pista ng Birhen ng Antipolo kasabay ng Pista ng Pentecostes.

Little Insight


The Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Chapel iis a fulfillment of the ardent desire to cultivate a God-centered and united community through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is under the jurisdiction of the San Jose Manggagawa Parish.

The first feast day dedicated to Our Lady was on 18 May 1986 (third Sunday of May), with the mass held on a vacant lot near the Phase II triangle of Sunshine Homes.

It has been 27 fruitful years since the first barangay fiesta was held. And with its glorious history, the F. De Castro Catholic community looks at the horizon with great confidence that it can brave the tides and continue fulfilling the mission of bringing God closer to the people with the help of its beloved patroness.

Our Lady Of Peace and Good Voyage

Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage (Spanish: Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje), also known as the Virgin of Antipolo (Tagalog: Birhen ng Antipolo), is a 17th-century Roman Catholic brown wooden statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated by Roman Catholics in the Philippines. The statue depicting the Immaculate Conception of Mary, is enshrined at the Antipolo Cathedral in the city of Antipolo in Rizal province.

The image was originally brought to the country by Governor Juan Niño de Tabora from Mexico via the galleon El Almirante. His safe voyage across the Pacific Ocean was attributed to the image and was given the title of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. It was substantiated later by six other successful voyages of the Manila-Acapulco Galleons with the image aboard as its patroness. During the 1630s, its several mysterious disappearance from its church in construction and later reappearance on top of a tipolo (breadfruit) tree (artocarpus incisa) led to the relocation of that church to its current location, where the tipolo tree was situated. The pedestal where the image is now enshrined has been traditionally made from the trunk of the tipolo tree.

The town of Antipolo itself was named after the tree for its abundance in the area. The statue is one of the most celebrated images of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Philippines, gaining devotees since the mid-19th century. From May to July each year, the town of Antipolo attracts thousands of devotees from all over country and abroad.

I'm a MedStudent

OFFICIALLY ENROLLED

Finally, Naka-enrol na din sa wakas. Certified Medicine Student at Our Lady of Fatima University Valenzuela main campus. Na-excite ako bigla. Need to get more serious than before. kung dati puro petiks lang eh ngayon dapat mas seryoso. Bihira lang ang mga ganitong pagkakataon kaya dapat seryosohin ko to. Ilan lang ako sa mga batang maswerte na makakapagaral ng Medicine may iba na gusto mag Med pero hindi kaya. Hindi ko kelangan maging petiks ngayong med student na ko. Kung gaano ako sa seryoso sa mahal ko  ganun din ako dapat ka seryoso sa magiging future career ko balang araw.

Mahal daw. . kamusta naman yun maka Bold and Italicized pa   asheshe..
alam na niya kung sino siya. Ayee >.<

SCHOLARSHIP

Hindi ako matalino. Simpleng tao lang at estudyante. Pero kung gugustuhin ko naman eh wala namang imposible eh. Kelangan lang talaga ng disiplina sa sarili at yan ang wala saken. Time management ba kamo. Haaay naku bagsak ako pagdating sa ganyan, kaya dapat Matuto talaga ako niyan. Kailangan ko kasi talaga makapasok at maging scholar dahil kahit maliit na percentage lang na discount eh malaking ginhawa na rin kila erpat at ermat yun. Hindi lang naman ako ang nagaaral samin eh. Nandyan yung incoming first year college na kapatid ko, sang 3rd High at isang 1st Grade. So kailangan ko talaga nun para maka menos sa bayaran kahit papano.

Ngayon na ito na talaga ang pangarap ko. Wala na kong ibang mahihiling pa kundi ang matapos ko ito ng walang problema. Ito ang bubuhay sakin at sa magiging pamilya ko balang araw.

I am proud to say that I'm a Medicine Student.

Hala Slow Motion? Inlove ako?

"Hoy ano na! tara na tapos na ko magpaprint. Tara na malelate na tayo" wika ni Jan kay Fred habang nakatayo sa likod nito.

"Teka lang bro. Saglit nalang naman mga 5 minutes." hirit nito sa kaibigan.

"Ano ba yan?" tanong ni Jan. Kuha ng upuan tingin sa computer.

"Si Trish yan diba? Oooy! kaw ha. Trip mo ba?" kantiyaw nito sa tropa.

"Alamo baliw ka talaga, napindot ko lang yung profile picture eh. tara na nga late na tayo oh" depensa nito sa pangangantiyaw ng kaibigan. Logout sa FB.

Kelan mo nga ba masasabing mahal mo na ang isang tao? May tama o mali ba sa pag-ibig? Eh paano yung, “we had the right love at the wrong time”? Nangyayari nga ba iyon sa totoong buhay? Eh yung “Guess I always knew inside. I wouldn’t have you for a long time..” Nakanta mo ba sa tamang tono? una bulong lang.. hangang sa palakas ng palakas.. tinakpan ko para wala akong  marinig pero yung tibok lalong lumalakas..pinalaya ko .. inamin.. nadapa, nasaktan, nasugutan, luhaan..umibig ulet.. paulit ulit hihinto , mag mamasid pero  iibig pa rin..

Daylight - Maroon 5 Cover

"Daylight" is a song performed by American pop rock band Maroon 5. The song was released as the third single from their fourth studio album Overexposed (2012). It was written by Adam Levine, Max Martin, Sam Martin and Mason Levy, while production was handled by Levine, Levy and Martin. The song is a soft rock ballad about realizing that one has to move on from an old relationship, but not fully wanting to leave just yet.
The song received a mixed reception from music critics. Some criticized Levine's vocals and called it a filler among the dance-oriented tracks on the album, while others felt a Coldplay inspiration in the end of the chorus. The song has charted in many countries, even reaching number 5 in South Korea before releasing, and after it was released, reaching the top-twenty in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. It is being performed on the Overexposed Tour.


"Daylight" was announced as the third single taken from the band's fourth studio album Overexposed (2012). It premiered on November 8, 2012 on The Voice. "Daylight" was written by Adam Levine, Max Martin, Sam "SAMM" Martin and Mason "MdL" Levy, while production was handled by Levine, Martin and MdL. Levine has stated numerous times that it is his favorite track on the entire album. It is a soft rock song, and according to Scott Shetler of Pop Crush, "It starts with a pulsing intro featuring a lone electric guitar building up to big choruses and a stadium-sized climax." On "Daylight," Levine is the lover who, for some reason, has to creep away in the morning. It is also seeing as "a tale about saving the last night with a special someone, since the relationship is about to end. "In the daylight/ We'll be on our own/ But tonight I need to hold you so close," he sings. Levine never explains exactly why he has to leave, but it is inferred that trouble has been brewing for some time, based on the line when he asks, "We knew this day would come / We knew it all along / How did it come so fast?." Helen Nowotnik of The Triangle analyzed that "If 'Never Gonna Leave This Bed' and 'Must Get Out' collided into one song, it would be 'Daylight'." The intro is the same as the Backstreet Boys' 2005 single "Just Want You to Know", as noted by Cameron Adams from The Herald Sun. Although some people say, they are not breaking up at all. That Levine is the lover that is leaving to go on his tour. The line that says "We knew this day would come / We knew it all along / How did it come so fast?." explains how short their time is together before he has to leave for months sometimes years to go on tour with his band, Maroon 5.


so here we go here's my cover of Daylight by Maroon 5. Hope you will like my cover :D.

Eleksyon 2013

Heto nanaman tayo at eleksyon nanaman ulit. Samut-sari ang mga kampanya at kaliwa't kanan ang mga plataporma. Pero sino ba ang dapat talaga iboto sa mga tatakbo? May mga ilan na bago sa aating paningin at may mga ilan na matagal na, kumbaga ginawa ng hanap buhay talaga ang patakbo. Merong mga bago pero may ka-apelyido o kamaganak, yung sinasabi nila na Political Dynasty.

sabi ni Kuya wiki:

Politics in the Philippines has been under the control of a few notable families. It is normal for a politician's son, wife, brother, or other kinsman, to run for the same or other government office. The term coined by Filipinos to describe this practice is "Political dynasty", the equivalent of an oligarchy in political science.

Mga Babae kasi : Usapang Lalake

*gabi. usapang lalake*
*sindi ng yosi*

*hithit*

*buga*

"Musta na, pare?" tanong ni Kian sa kaibigan.

"Ako, okay lang. Eto. Nagmumuni-muni. Nag-iisip. Minsan talaga may mga bagay na hindi ko maintindihan. Ewan ko ba." Seryosong sagot ni Chad.

*hinga ng malalim*

"Bakit ba ganun pare, ilang beses ko na pinag-aralan pero lagi na lang lumalabas na parang kahit 'sang anggulo mo tingnan, hindi nagiging patas para sa mga lalake ang ilang
 bagay pagdating sa pagmamahal" <= Chad

*tingin sa stars*

"Minsan naiisip ko, alam kaya ng mga babae ang hirap ng lalake na gumawa ng first move para magtapat ng pagmamahal? E yung hirap na dinadaanan sa panliligaw at pagsuyo sa mahal nya? Ang feeling ng masaktan pag nabasted?" <= Chad

Uy si Eks!

"San ka na? dito na ko sa loob ng super market second floor men shoes area." Inip na sabi ni Ryan sa kabilang linya.

"Nagpapark na kami bro mga 10 minutes.." Nakangising sabi ni Lito

"Sige Sige hintayin na lang kita dito" <= Ryan




Sino nga ba sila? Saan sila galing? Bakit nag-e-exist ang mga ganitong uri ng tao sa mundo?




Sabi Kuya wiki:

In social relationships, an ex (plural is exes) is someone with whom a person was once associated. As a prefix, ex- can refer to a variety of different relationships; for example, one might refer to a music group's ex-guitarist, or someone's ex-friend.[1] When used alone, exas a noun is assumed to refer to a former sexual or romantic partner, especially a former spouse. This often has a derogatory tinge, especially if it refers to unrequited feelings. -Wikipedia (Retrieve date: April 2013)

What to do next? : Bachelor Life

I already did your part. Oo natapos ko na lahat, pero panu naman yung mga pangarap ko sa buhay. Graduating ako ng High School noong mga panahon na yun, tandang tanda ko pa ang sinabi ko sa parents ko. "Ma, Pa gusto ko po mag doctor" wala naman silang tutol dun in fact natuwa pa sila sa pangarap ko sa buhay. Ang sabi pa nila noon na pagtiya-tiyagaan na daw nila na makatapos ako ng medicine. Ako naman tuwang-tuwa din, sa totoo lang sabik na sabik na kong mag college nun.

I took up Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, kasi sabi nila maganda raw ang course na yun para sa pre-med ng medicine. Ako naman ok lang basta ang importante makapag medicine ako. Sa umpisa ng Medtech ok pa naman di pa napapansin ang hirap tsaka ok naman yung mga kaklase ko. Sa totoo lang tulungan kami in terms of academics oo minsan may mga pandarayang nangyayari, nandiyan yung kopyahan, minsan naman doktoran ng mga sagot. Natatawa na nga lang ako pag nababanggit ng professor namin na. "Oh yung mga nangdodoktor ng sagot diyan ah! Di pa kayo doktor kaya ayusin niyo lang!" napapailing at napapangisi nalang ako. Di naman kasi mawawala yun,  for sure kahit saan namang colleges and universities meron mga ganun,

"Hello Babe.. "

Ayan tumawag nanaman ang Boyfriend ko. Siguradong away nanaman ito. Di ko alam kung bakit ganun nalang ang nararamdaman ko sa kanya. Hindi ko na nga ata siya mahal. Ang hirap kasi ng sitwasyon namin nasa malayong lugar siya. Isa kasi siyang Sea man. Ang pangako niya sakin na pagbalik niya ay papakasalan na daw niya ko, pero di ko naman pinaniwalaan yun eh, Limang taon na nakalipas di pa rin siya umuuwi. Napakahirap ng ganitong sitwasyon

"Anong ginagawa mo? Babe" tanong ng Boyfriend ni Jane. "Nakikinig lang ng radyo Babe" malungkot na sabi nito.

"Oy Ineng... anu na? kanina pa nakasalampak yang kamay mo sa muka mo. Until now di pa rin ba kayo nagkakaayos ni Borg?"

Inilapag ni faye ang tray na may lamang pagkain sa lamesa.

"Oh eto oh. Kailangan mong kumain. Tingnan mo nga sarili mo muka kang zombie"

Pabirong sabi ni Faye sa kaibigan.

"Eh pano naman kasi hanggang ngayon di ko alam kung anong gagawin ko. Mahal ko pa rin siya hanggang ngayon. Ayoko siyang bitawan, ayoko siyang pakawalan."

Seryosong sagot ni Dianne. Inalis ang kamay sa mukha. Halatang sobrang stress na siya sa kanyang problema.

"Jusme naman to. Alamo ako nagtitimpi lang ako diyan kay Borg na yan ah! Hiwalayan mo na kasi friend. Di niya deserve yang kagandahan mo. Stop being Martir na!"
