Proud?

oo. Talented tayo mga pinoy. Marami tayong mga masisikat na mga kapwa. oo, isa tayo sa mga magagaling pagdating sa overseas working.
Pero tingnan naman natin yung bansa natin.

the government is messed up, kids suffering from poverty, ang mga ugali natin , and the way we take care of our surroundings.
Nakakahiya sa mga ibang bansa eh.

At isa pa, masyado tayong mapa lait sa ibang mga lahi.
pagnakakita tayo ng mga maitim na tao, alam ko na agad ang nasa isip ng mga ibang nakakita, "Negro oh!" or diba "Hahaha! Nasunog ata yan eh."

Kung makapaglait tayo ng ibang lahi, wagas. Pero kung tayo naman nilalait, wagas rin kung magalit. "Mga walang hiyang intsik yan! Mamatay na sila! " or kagaya nung tinawag tayo ng isang koreano na MONKEYS. "Mga walang hiyang Koreano yan! mga bobo ! gago! punta kayo dito sa pinas , papatayin namin kayo!"
Eh ano nman iisipin ng mga ibang lahi nyan? syempre, they will look down on us. Kahit sa kapwa nga natin, nilalait rin natin eh.

Alam kong proud tayo sa achievements of OTHER filipinos. But let us also try to achieve something for ourselves, for our country, and let us also try to change our country, and the way we treat each other and other races.

before we can say that were proud of being a filipino, tingnan muna natin ang bansa natin. Enoguh said.

Hahaha. Just sharing my thoughts :3

Stoned....

Well are you a stone? I mean a person who have cold heart. Well sometimes those  person are just, er.. you know sometimes nasty and cruel especially to those person that loves him or her. Well sometimes they are just bit cold [ I mean their attitudes towards other is cold] because they cannot find the true happiness inside them and they couldn't consider small things great. Well that's made them up but, still they are also person, they have a soft inside, you will just need to reach for that soft spot to break the stone in him.

I was so busy....thanks for reading this

My Reflection... about a Movie so called "10,000 B.C.

10,000 B.C. Movie Reflection

10,000 B.C.  is the film produced by Michael Wimer and Roland Emmerich. This film tackles about the life of our early ancestor and all about on how they survived on the climatic changes that happened [ as seen on the film]. 10,000 B.C. is anything that could everybody could relate into especially for those who is a moviegoer and a student [like me]. Yet, these movie is rated PG- 13 because of some violent scenes[especially the killings] maybe it have been on your watch list, because of the best CGI [Computer Generated Images] and  the great actors and actresses which played a big role for the large success of this movie.
                  Now, for the reflection it all starts here [it’s pretty long I guess]. I’ve seen different aspect in the movie which makes me pretty impressed of it and that’s why I make a long reflection about it.
The aspects I’ve seen is the following: Richness of our prehistory as well as the history, the cultures that have been used to come up of a such good movie [especially the languages and the traditions and the peoples], the religions and the beliefs that time, the geography and the topography of the places, and lastly is that how it can be connected to our study in our World History subject.

The richness of our prehistory as well as the history is so much to be proud of. Why? Because as seen on the movie that even our ancestors know what the value of “Bravery and Heroism” is.  As seen D’Leh the  main hero of the story is showing it all just not to save his wife and his tribe but also to help the other tribes and get them of what they deserve [the freedom actually]. There is also some part of the movie that shows that like a pack of a lions  because as D’leh said “WE hunt us One” they never think of what might happen to them as long they finish their goals : To get Evolet back and to free the Black people and to kill the “Almighty” with the four legged demons. The richness of the prehistory makes me wander on the myths and the supernatural places and some legends that it is true or just it happened to be gone when the new generation of people has sprang on Earth. The richness of it makes the film so fantastic and wonderful.

I’ve learned many things from it. I’ve learn that there is being more than a great leader when there are humility and care for others. As D’leh their leader in the search for their kidnapped tribe mates and Evolet. I also learned that what our prehistory contributes to our present lives, it contributed a lot on discovering the mysteries of the future like the Mayan calendar and the creatures from the past that seems to exist until today and it’s descendants [no lies, Tyrannosaurus Rex or T-Rex descendants is the chicken]. For short, the prehistory helps the history to be more complex and so very wonderful and fantastic that it would make as amazed of the hidden wonders of the history.

 The next aspect is the cultures that have been used to come up of such good movie. Some of it was used some German terms especially the name of our hero D’Leh which in reverse reads as “Held” which in German means “Hero”, which is a pretty right for the description to our hero. There is also the use of the black peoples and the nomads. The black people which is living in a desert which where sparse growth of grass is seen, they also seen serving the spices [like the chilis] to their guests, their tribe also suffered the same way as D’Leh’s tribe and they have seem to found the use of stones as their habitats. The nomads like D’Leh’s tribe was seen at the glacial mountains where they live on a cold place and in the last place they lived is in near with a body of water which looks like a river.

Their traditions of the different tribes are different. The black people would stick their foreheads to greet or say goodbye to the nomads or anyone else as assign of respect while the nomads would hug anyone as a sign of respects as well as a greeting.

The next aspect is the religions and the beliefs that time, well it is the pretty amazing and I like it much. The religion that time only exists on a civilized tribe like the tribe of the “Almighty” they only believe that the “Almighty” is the almightiest of all of them. The nomads believe in their “Old Mother” which is the tribe priestess and a witch also which she can only predict or know what will happen to the future. The oracle about the trial of the blue eyes captivate my mind on how they would do such kind of ritual giving their last breath of life for Evolet and I also wondered how they could connect their life with another soul [yeah I talk curiosity] well for that was just you know amazing part of the movie. The idea of the four-legged demon fascinates me, why? Because it is shown that our early ancestors would be likely to tame the early horses like that, and the idea of a four legged demon means that the nomads never knew that there would be creatures such as horses [well that is very insulting] makes them afraid of it when they could kill it. The black people have an idea like the Patapons[yeah, I know it is a video game, but it is based on the Shinto’s religion] they believe that the carvings and paintings was true[but it is probably the truth] they believe that someone would talk to the “Spear Tooth” which appears to be a smilodon, a creature from the Ice age. They also believe that the man would talk to the “Spear Tooth” will probably free the black people from the slavery of the four-legged demons. The belief about the “Almighty” was another part of the interesting story. It is very nice to know that the nomads has a great intelligence that they would know who is the real Almighty than the fake, as I observed on the movie that D’Leh probably knew that the real Almighty would  be never killed if he was thrown and stabbed by the White spear. The courts of the “Almighty” knows a lot the about astrology that they would accidentally make the “The Mark of the Hunter’ known because the Mark was the constellation Orion. There so much thing that the movie revealed especially the place where the “Almighty” came from,  basically from the movie it was revealed that the “Almighty” ame from the place that never exist which probably is telling about the legendary Atlantis. I was also fascinated by the “Mountain of the Gods” which is like from the Greek mythology the “Mount Olympus”. I’ve searched for the trivia of the movie and I found out that the film features some of the alleged controversies in history - the construction of the great pyramids 12,000 years ago, almost 7,500 years earlier, the existence of the Ben-Ben stone (the pyramidion stone that is now missing from the top of the Khafre pyramid), the correlation between the position of the pyramids and the stars from the Orion constellation (associated by the Egyptians with the god Osiris), the Sphinx with a head of a lion allegedly correlated with the Leo constellation rising to the east (at the same time when Orion is in conjunction with the Giza pyramid complex) and the possible nonhuman origin of the first kings of Egypt. This is a pretty good example of it that it was in the Mesopotamia where the first civilization has started, because Egypt was pretty near the Mesopotamia in that time. There is also the use of the stars as a navigation is pretty useful like when D’Leh used the brightest star as the guide which the star is the North Star Vega.

The religions and the belief that time was a great example of how they would believe things and accept it as a truth of life. Some of it became the basis of their everyday lives until they wait the right time to come. The uses of their religion and beliefs play a big role in their everyday lives one example of it was the “Last hunt” which the Old Mother is telling is that time would be the arrival of the four-legged demons, which makes them prepare especially the Father of D’Leh who leave just to protect his tribesmen from  the said oracle.

The next aspect is the geography and the topography of the places. This aspect plays a big role in the film especially in the prehistorically eras that the geography and the topography of the places is different from the present. The one fascinating geography of the place would be the one they called “Sea Desert” which is basically a desert with a stream of living body of water flowing. Because it is rare to see desert with a bodies of water especially the oasis. But the captivating of them, the most I mean was the building of the “Mountain of the Gods” which reference is also made to the Platonic theory that the construction techniques used in Egypt were imported from the ancient lost civilization of Atlantis. The movie makers include a glimpse of a map showing one of the putative locations of Atlantis, off the coast of Spain as seen on the part of the movie where Evolet was taken into the chambers of the courts of the “Almighty”.

I also learned that the time when the Ice age has began to subside it was also the time where the glaciers was turned into bodies of  waters and the season began to warmed up and the temperature is starting to increase  up to 7 degrees Celsius. The sea levels also rises and some land parts was starting to sin k because of the rising of the water level. Thus, making the world’s geography and topography change for awhile. It also makes different creatures like the mammoths to be extinct because they could adapt to the warmer temperature and they are used as food and their thick wools for the clothing.

Finally, the last and the most important of them is how it could be connected to our study in World History. Connecting the film to the study is like connecting large jigsaw puzzles, because if we connect it to one matter it would be still connected to other matters too. The film 10,000 B.C. was a remarkable film that makes me interested more in studying the past of the human race because of the richness of facts and details it featured in the film like it was, I was reading a book of the chronological happenings of the prehistory because of the wonderful details. Now back to the last aspect, it is more likely to be connected because we are studying about the Paleolithic Periods which is a great chapter of the prehistory.

As far as I know that studying the prehistory more would likely help us understood the present because they said “History repeats itself” which means that every time that we move it is a piece of the history that happened. Now it signifies that the mystery of the past could unlock the secret of the future[well that’s my opinion] because if we don’t know anything about the past or we forget it just for the sake of the future, maybe I think that the history would probably repeats itself all over again.

World History would be the key in studying the past because further knowledge about it would help us. As I said a little while ago that history could repeat itself [I think I am repeating it all over again] so the best defense that we would have is the knowledge and the wisdom that we know just to survive. Connecting the World History to the film is very hard because it is more basically more on science on how the people live, but a little percent of it remains that would like helps us understood the total mystery of the past.

10,000 B.C. the movie which was presented to us, and we are asked to make a reflection about it makes me challenge on how we would make a such reflection when there so much of it that I ended up making four pages reflection [yeah ‘till midnight]. For me that the film was so exact to be shown to the class because of the lessons that would help us make our study in World History wonderful and fantastic because the movie was a truly a brainstorming one.

For me the movie was great and captivate my mind easily and make me react on how the life was before we are born, before this time where advanced technology is little by little conquering the world unlike the time when the people was so content of their living.

Making this reflection makes me put all the things I have seen in the film and I am putting it all here. I hope that this kind of activity will be always happening because it makes students like me pursue to see the message of the movie not like the obvious one but the deeper one the deeper message that would captivate our hearts and minds that would make us easily understood its deeper message.

Remember that like in the movie we cannot survive without each other so always remember that “WE always hunt as One”.

Nabansot nga ba talaga?

Ang sabi nila sa panahon ngayon bibihira na lang mga taong may mabuting kalooban. At yan ang isa sa mga tinutukoy na pagkabansot sa isang akda ni Onofre Pagsanghan na "Sa Kabataan". Ayon sa akda na kahit anong bilo, laki, talino natin ay bansot pa rin tayo sapagkat ang pagkabansot ng puso, ng isipan, at ng diwa ay siya naman pinakamalagim na pagkabansot.

Nandito tayo lahat nakatayo sa panahong ito maraming pagbabagong naganap na siguradong yumanig sa mundo at ito ang "Panahon ng Teknolohiya" na kung saan nagsulputan ang mga makabagong kagamitan na mistulang kabute lang na tumubo kung saan. Dahil dyan sa malawakang pagbabago na iyan halos karamihan natin ay nagiging mistulang nabansot. Bakit? dahil sa ibang bagay kagaya ng mga makabagong teknolohiyang ito ay nakakalimutan na antin ang ating tradisyon at kultura na ipinagpalit natin sa mga bagay na kung tutuusin na maari rin mawala.

Sa mabilisang pagbabago ngayon ay lahat na ay posible. Pero ang isang bagay na hindi natin pwede ikaila ay ang pagkonti ng mga taong may maayos na paguugali [Yung totoo sa sarili nya at hindi plastic sa iba]. Dahil puro imitasyon na lang at kokonti na lang ang mga totoo.

Sa kabilang dako, kung nabansot tayo ngayon hindi pa huli ang lahat upang magbago. Marami pang paraan upang tayo'y magbago sa kabila ng mga pagbabago ngayong panahon.Tandaan lahat ng bagay ngayon ayb posibleng posibleng kung mayroon kang paniniwala sa sarili mo na kaya mong magbago makakaya mo ito.

Ngayon ang desisyon ay nakasalalay lang sa ating kamay upang magbago.

Being Free is being Responsible.

You hear it right, being free has a corresponding responsibility. From the start that we are free we have a responsibility to take care of and that is to do good and to act responsibly [right, this was from our Religion class].Being free is not only that you can do whatever you wanted to do but  it is the time to make good things happen and be responsible as well.Well you're a one lucky guy[if you're a girl then a gal] because right now you are experiencing a Freedom[yeah that's what they call him].

Freedom is the free will to make choices. Therefore you are free to whatever you chooses. But do you think that picking the "good ones" for you maybe bad for you and bad for others? Yes, choice does not only affect you but affect others as well.

Sometimes, maybe freedom is not so good[for me that is my opinion] because people this time abuse their rights for their own interest and for their self-purposes[uhhhmm... that's one sure bad thing.] And I also think that freedom should be protected by those persons who are still capable of it and stop those people who are already using there  freedom to nonsense things.

Always remember every step that  were making it is a freedom so use your freedom for good not for vain or what so ever bad things.

The Destruction Bought by Gossiping

I maybe a high school student,one of the the honors,and one of the many students who are affected by the gossips.Gossiping is one of the ongoing hobbies of the students during vacant time.Gossiping or bearing false witnesses against your neighbor is a bad habit,but what can I do avoid it,I am not like the actor and actresses who can easily put that into the court or hire an attorney for them to be defended.Until one day, I get a shocking gossip from my very trusted friend, the gossip is all about ME.This is how I retell it:

She said tome directly:”You know there are some people behind your back who is trying to stab you,they say that you use someone to bribe or to be closer to someone(this refer to my ex-crush and to her sister, one of my subject teacher)”

From hearing that I was very angry and ready to cut tongues of what I’ve heard.That’s not all there is also like this:

One of my friends frankly told me “You know that you should avoid getting near or close with the teachers because everybody know that are getting something from them(sipsip in Tagalog-which means you are doing getting close to someone so you could use them for purpose)”

I was feel very sad,angry and I feel that  my senses are like you know, gotta blow.To frankly tell, those person are also my friend,but I don’t get the idea why they make an issue like that when I am being loyal and super caring to them.I never do anything to put some poop in there heads, but why they put some on me.For me having them is not a lost, but how about the friendship that we have, the memories that we treasures and the times when we cry on each other shoulders.What on earth they are thinking?

For the people who would read this I wish when you hear or someone share a gossip on you never believe it.Why?Becaus, it would surely destroy reputation,career,life and his/her hope to dream.So, never forget that what do you to others,it will surely comeback to you,I PROMISE.

Your conscience will test your strenght on how you could admit your faults.

Are you "Misinterpreted"?

I am back for another series of this blog. I will now give some nasty truths about misinterpretation. From the word “misinterpretation” we could think many negative traits, but do we still think of the goods of it? The answer is big “NO!”, because misinterpretation ruins anyone lives like gossips.

Now, the misinterpretation is another form of misunderstanding which causes different effects to our mind,body which hinder us to move freely. It is a kind of misunderstanding, because of it could be imagined and spread to others with many add-on applied very smoothly. One very example of it if say something very,very peculiar or censored to somebody they could misinterpret it and (I don’t know??) if they will laugh at it or take to the next level, which the gossip can enter.

As the one who is writing this I will give the secret tips which someone taught me on how to avoid these kind of misunderstanding: First, keep distance from the people whom you know that cannot understand easily to what are you sharing or telling to him/her. Second, make your sharing very detail but not too much,because it will cause someone to share it to others that have some add-on on it. Third, simply approach or ask them to understand carefully on the words that came out your mouth. Lastly, DON’T share nor tell anything about it…..

That’s all. Remember that misinterpretation could be prevented if you prevent sharing important things..

Be an Apple In the Group Of Oranges.....

Being different is being cool

Do you ever felt to be neglected in group of people or in a group of friends? Probably some of you would say ” Sometimes” or “I would never felt that.”. Neglection is a kind of discrimination or another sign of dis respectfulness.Sometimes I would fell neglected if some of my friends would leave me or she/he doesn’t want to be my friend. First, I say to myself that they maybe busy or whatever,until the day I found out that they choose another person that would exchange me,cooler than me,smarter than me,enjoyable than me. They all change their attitudes towards me, the way they communicate to me,the way they look at me. Until today I would feel that same old feelings that turn me into another person.

Now let’s go to the title : Be an Apple in the Group of Oranges. It’s a common phrase that would we sometimes hear. Some people will change attitude if they adapt their environment.It is associated with neglection for me, Why? Because the way people act towards you is from the surroundings that they roam on.So what do you do to avoid these. A simple way only Be an APPLE in the group of Oranges. you don’t have to be an orange to join them your an apple a unique and outstanding creature.It is the basics of life.

A concrete example of it is this: You belong to a circle of friends that you first met in work,but later on you recognized that they change their attitudes,the way they interact to others. So this decision came in your mind,would you change everything on yourself to be like them or stay as you.

Now the choice would be on the hand of the person who would decide. But never forget that an Apple is always an Apple and an orange Could not be an Apple.

Are you Alone?

There is some people that is often be called "shy type" but  their is the word "loneliness" there is a  great difference between them, but they are connected to each other. Being shy means that you are only afraid to make friend, afraid to introduce himself, and  the word  loneliness is the result of that shyness, and sometimes loneliness isn't the result of shyness, sometimes loneliness is the result of you're being left alone by your friends or being abandoned.

Sometimes, I recognize my classmates who are often lonely are sometimes they are also shy. There also some of the that I consider lonely[it's very obvious], why? because even he/she  has many friends, I could sense it, in the look of his/her face.

Now loneliness is the feeling [indeed very strong feeling] of emptiness and solitude which will result to some relationship problems.As I've read some article over the Internet [I like reading some articles about emotions especially loneliness]. It is said that loneliness is the cause of some lack of friendship[that's what I am talking]
and it may be a symptom to a psychological disorder such as chronic disorder.

Loneliness  affects many aspects of life, especially for the person who is always left alone.Loneliness affects emotions making it so unstable sometimes loneliness would cause a sudden burst of emotions like anger.AS there is a problem there is a solution for them.And one way to treat loneliness is a  person who will reach out
for those person who wants to be understood[ I mean understood not getting attention].

Loneliness will never prevail again if  we become more sensitive to other's need and become more friendly.
Loneliness is anything that would eventually get away as long as we care for other people's need. :D

Are you a Real Friend?

They would said "No man is an Island." It means that we cannot live without companions,friends and family.
But how do you think that what you have called " friend" was the one that will betray you? Did you think you would get a rightful justice after you have been betrayed, for me no one will get a justice.

After we learn to walk, to talk and learn the manners,conduct we are ready to face the world, the world of adventure as a child in the society. Commonly children would meet their friends at school or at the neighborhoods[every country has different place where to meet friends like for Philippines children would commonly find friends at the schools].After so many years you are studying and experiencing life you have found so many so called "friends" these friends of you would either a caring one, a posy, a girly, a rocker, a sensitive type and so many as they differ with their  attitude.

Then you are so great in all things[not all of things,somethings that you're friends cannot do.].Some people would be obviously jealous of you, it might be because you are an outstanding student,or always praised by your proctors or whatever you may call it. Then one day you heard in the campus all gossips about you, of course your first reaction to it is your frustrated,shock and you may even ask "What is this real, hey somebody can you tell that  I am only dreaming" and the next thing that will conclude in your mind is "who did this kind of thing to me? What I have done wrong?".

That thing has happened to me and that was the first problem that I encountered during this Junior life at my school. I don't know what spirit has gotten into them or what spoiled food they have eaten. As far as I know it's all because that I have a new found friend [she is a teacher]. After that incident I started to investigate with the help of my true friends, I have found out who make those gossips about me that I am only using those teachers for a good grades which I have been working off. As I've found out that my so called "friends" make it then it's time to their confession, but until these time I never confronted them [they said I would make noise about it and many things negative as my friend told me which has a pretty sense to me].

Now how will you call those person who is making gossip about you fake stories that will led you to rejection, neglection, and finally discrimination[which these will led you to total insanity..]. Sometimes there are lessons that are not taught by teachers and as well by our parents, these things would be taught by ourselves only us would teach ourselves to do when a situation like that happen but always remember that everything has it's own consequences, if you chose to get revenge,then face whatever consequence will you  face, if you stay to be quiet then also face it.

Remember "Your best enemy would be your best friend and YOU."

Be Free,Be You..Ikaw ba talaga yan?

Mayroong puntong nadating sa mga buhay natin na kung minsan hindi na natin kilala ang ating mga sarili. Bilang ako,bilang ikaw,o bilang tayo kilala ba natin kung sino ba talaga tayo? Sa karami-raming tao sa daigdig na ito marami ang hindi nakakakilala ng kanilang mga sarili. Ako sa katunayan mayroong mga  pagkakataon na napagsasabihan ako na "sana bumalik na ang dating James[James ang pangalan ko],sana bumalik ka na sa dati kasi parang di na ikaw yan". Yan ang kadalasan kong naririnig sa mga pagkakataong may nagagawa akong mali.
Narating din na minsn tinatanong ko ang aking sarili kung ano ang nangyayari sa akin o bakit ako nagkakaganito, pero dahil  sa sarili ko lang ang aking kausap wala naman din itong maibigay na sagot.


Pero nakakatuwang isipin na kahit hindi natin kilala yung ating sarili nasasabi natin sa ibang tao na kilalang-kilala natin sila .Bakit kaya ganun? Siguro dahil sa kasama natin sila, malapit na malapit kayo sa isa't isa at sila ba yung taong nakakaintindi sa atin at alam niya ang kahinaan at kalakasan natin.

Ito ang sa tingin ko kung bakit hindi natin kilala yung mga sarili natin[pwede naman yatang umopinion ako di ba?]
Unang una, dahil gusto na natin kalimutan ang dating tayo [which is a very hard thing to do yung kalimutan ang dating tayo..]
Pangalawa, dahil gusto natin maging accepted tayo ng ibang tao, kaya minsan nagbabago tayo ng personality and attitudes[the idea was from my friend, Dawn]
Pangatlo, pinapangarap natin na ibang tao tayo kahit hindi naman o kaya naman sinusunod natin ang gusto ng ibang tao.

Ang pangatlong opinion ko ay siyang tumutukoy talaga sa pamagat. Hindi naman natin pwedeng ikaila na mas madalas natin sinusunod ang gusto ng ibang tao[nakakarelate?], halimabawa nito ay ang gusto nating kuning kurso pero ayaw ito ng magulang natin sa dahilang mas gusto nila yung kursong  patok gaya ng nursing, eto ikaw namimili ka sa dalawa kung ano ang kukunin mo yun bang gusto mo o yung kagustuhan ng mga magulang mo. Eto ang twist jan, ang ibang magulang ginagawa yan upang tignan ang kanilang mga anak kung sigurado sila kukuning mong kurso.Ngayon sa tingin mo nagpapakatotoo ba tayo, malaya ba tayo sa mga kagustuhan?

Ang sagot ay nasa inyo....
