Happy Teachers' Day :))

May nabasa ako..
"Paano kayo natulungan ng teachers ninyo maging kung sino ka ngayon?"

After ko mabasa ang tanong, isang prof kagad ang pumasok sa isip ko.

Si Mr. Amelito dela Cruz.
Siya ang prof na hindi ko talaga mkkalimutan. Hindi lang ako basta natuto sa kanya, nainspire din ako, na-motivate, naging mas determined, at naging masipag sa pag-aaral. Na-challenge din ako sa way ng pagtuturo niya, kaya mas sinipag akong mag-aral.

Siguro kung hindi siya naging prof ko, wala ako sa #A331 sa batch namin. Siguro din hindi ako naging top ng Qualifying exam sa subject(FinancialAccounting1&2) na tinuro niya samin. Siguro, may pagka-tamad pa rin ako mag-aral.

Pero dahil kay Sir, gusto kong mtapos ang kurso ko. Gusto ko nga din i-TOP pati Board Exam eh, kung papalarin. :)

Napakalaki ng naitulong niya sa amin, sa akin. Malaki din ang pasasalamat ko kay Sir.
Pero ang Most valued lesson na natutunan ko sa kanya:

Si Sir yung tipong mababa magbigay ng Grade. Pero magaling siyang magturo.
Implicitly, it shows that wag ka masyado maghabol sa grades, ang importante natututo ka.

Salute to all teachers out there. :)

Love Is A Beautiful Thing

Love is a beautiful thing
A noun, a verb, and a feeling
Love is a word in the dictionary
Can't define what feeling it could be.


You feel so near, distant for a mile
It makes you crazy, can make you smile
Makes hearts beat fast, not even tired
And cheeks turn red, not even fired.

You feel so related, not a relative
You don't know much, yet you believe
You want a date, not a calendar
You're so cheesy, not a cheddar.

Feeling like flying, ain't a bird
You think it's growing, not a beard
You look like blooming, ain't a flower
Moments are just minutes, feels like hour.

We always have our Type, not on netbook
You always wanna share, it's not facebook
He(She) is your favorite, don't have twitter
You make testimonials, no longer friendster.

Promise forever, you don't know yet
Breaking up, you just can't let
You're afraid to lose, it's not a game
Want the world to know 'Us', no fame.

Love is a beautiful thing
It's a different kind of feeling
What you feel differs to something else
You feel getting tickled pink, without tickles.

The Best Love Story That Was Never Told

During those nights that I can't sleep
Imagining things way too deep
Creating so perfect scenarios in life
How did it happen you are my wife?

I saw you and I together in a place
Making a vow blessed by the priest
In front of the crowd we kissed in lips
Tied with a promise each other keeps

We travel the world holding hands
Watch the concerts of our favorite bands
Going to the place where we first found
The place that we know where love is around

Some days we pick up a fight
We end up knowing what's right
Defends our love we think we deserve
My love for you is only reserved

Here where we stand to the distance of the star
That is the distance we had gone so far
Looking forward to the days when we're old
The days I'm the one to hug you when you're cold

Living in the house is one big family
Shelter of love where everybody's happy
Children were grown ups, we're getting old
The best love story that was never told

If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up
Well, I'm not dreaming 'cos I'm still up
I'm in my bed with no wife beside me
Well, I guess this is already reality

If only creating scenarios can be true
But it's not, there's nothing I can do
It's 2 in the midnight, I just lack of sleep
I must fall asleep, way too deep.

Once in my High School Life :)

4th Year High School, 3rd Grading Period

Reminiscing my high school years, I remembered that once in my high school life, I have been part of the Top students in our class. This was very special to me, and sounds a little funny.

I was the Top 8 student of our class, it ONLY happened when I was in 4th year high school, 3rd grading period. What sounds a little funny is that I became part of the top students only in 3rd grading, but on the 4th grading (which is the last) there is no chance for me to be part of the top ones.

Well, honestly, I find it amazing. I just think that God had made me taste what it's like to be on the Top students just before I graduate in high school. On one grading, just before I graduate, I felt a little proud of myself as it is unexpected.

As I have said, I'm a little proud, just a little. Why? Well, I haven't worked hard for that. It's still on those times that I cheat during exams. There's nothing to be proud. However, I'm a little proud because I still had exerted effort for my grades regarding the projects and other requirements. Moreover, everyone does it, so everyone cheats.

So what's that word in the closed parentheses? Inspired? Oh, "INSPIRED". Well, I have always been inspired :)

It's really great to reminisce such wonderful memories. You come to think the good and the bad things that had made the person you are now. Reflecting on your own self is really an advantage, you happen to know what must be done in order to improve one's self and to create a better you.

My Filipino Peeps

Roses are red, filipinos are brown.
You mess with us and your going down.
My sick pride, I will not hide.
My Filipino race, I will not disgrace.
My Filipino blood, flows hot & true.
My Filipino peeps, I will stand by you.
I will be a proud Filipino...






Posted in my Facebook Account, May 30, 2011 :)

Thank God. I feel so blessed. :)

Thank God. I feel so blessed. :)

Sa isang article na naipost ko noon, tinanong ng professor ko, "sure na ba kayo next sem?". Which implies, kaya niyo pa ba magpatuloy from Financial Accounting 1 (FINAC1) to FINAC2. Sabi ko sa article na yun, challenge accepted. Sa kagustuhan kong maging CPA, syempre magpapatuloy ako. At heto na nga nangyari sa Finac2 ko..

Lahat ng Finac2 Quizzes ko pinagpray ko at pumasa ako.

May isang quiz nga lang na nagtiwala ako sa sarili ko at nagkulang sa prayer, ayun Bumagsak ako.

Lesson learned: Kahit gaano ka pa ka'confident sa sarili mo, hindi mo kakayanin mag-isa yan. Always ask God's presence and guidance.

At sa huling quiz problem (pre-exam test), feel ko babagsak ako dahil gulong-gulo ako sa chapters. Nagreview nman akong mabuti, at nagpray kay God na Gabayan nya ko ng maigi dahil alam ko di sapat ang nareview at naintindihan ko. Sabi ko pa, kahit yung sapat na Score lang.

At ayun, pumasa ako sa Quiz prob. So blessed. Out of 65 items YATA yun, 33 ang check ko. Just enough na nakalahati ko.

Kung nahihirapan ka kahit nag-aral ka naman ng mabuti, sabayan mo ng panalangin para maganda ang bunga ng paghihirap mo.

Dati din akong puro bagsak ang Quizzes noong Finac1, at dun lalo tumibay ang pananalig ko kay God. Nang ipagpanalangin ko ang pag-aaral ko, ayun, puro magandang bunga na ang scores ko.

Gabi-gabi ako nagrereview. Bawat umaga bago pumasok ng school, pumupunta akong church to pray. Di ko masasabing matalino na ako. Masipag lang ako, sumunod ako sa payo ng Prof ko. Pinaghirapan ko makamit ang grade na meron ako.

At dahil kasama ko naman si God, di ko na kailangan dayain ang scores ko. Mayroong iba na nandadaya eh.

Sabi nga nila, "It's not the grades that defines who you are."

Para sakin, "It is How you got your grades that defines who you are."

And that's you.

Noon, tanong ng prof ko, "Sure na ba kayo next sem?" Ngayon, ang sabi ng professor ko, "Hindi ko na kayo mapipigilan maging 3rd year."

We survived. Ang sinasabi nilang pinakamahirap sa kursong Accountancy ay nalagpasan na namin. Panibagong pagsubok na ang kakaharapin namin niyan. :)

Thank You God for this challenging experience. May you keep me in your church and let me go out spreading the faithfulness to you, my Lord. Be with me in my next semesters and I shall pass them all and achieve my dream, the dream you gave me which is to be a Certified Public Accountant. :)

Just Another Day

How happy are they walking in the rain
And here I am waiting in vain
I see them on the park, holding hands while walking
Tomorrow's our exam, I hold my pen studying.

I see pictures of couples together
I hold the camera, capture their forever
They told me all the flowers were sold out
I don't even know what they're talking about.

People promise their love is very deep
Here I am enjoying my sleep
Look at all the gifts that they have to buy
I'm just here waiting for time to pass by

A day is always a part of everyday
May it be an awesome or a simple day
Today celebrates the Valentine's Day
This day will just pass by, just another day.

Studious Becomes A Freak

I'm single, alone, all by myself
Facing the compact books in my shelf
Every day I bring books in the school
In the night I study like a fool.

I do love my bed, I don't know why
All day long, I always occupy
Keeping myself to have lots of rest
Sleeping to forget all the stress.

I'm happy, yes, I think I'm happy
I really thought grades can bring me glee
Tell me, tell me, where did I go wrong?
Did I not feel how to sing the song?

I eat all the pages in the book
But I don't even know how to cook
Scores are higher than the average
The mirror shows I have older age.

Tomorrow is another exam
I wanna try to give it a damn
I will try to be a big damn freak
I'll kiss my Valentine on her cheek.

Note and Destination

"I don't know. I do not know where this career will bring me. Should I go? Confused. O.O"

John is confused. He is an Engineering Student in a university. Recently, he is very confused, he is having a hard time in his career. He studies very well so he can pass all his subjects, he spends too much time studying just to pass each examinations. He is not smart, just an average learner struggling in school to get his diploma. His grades are good, but he suffers a lot to get the good grades. He loves his course but he doesn't know if he can survive the course.

One day, while burning the midnight oil, he suddenly stopped studying. He then gets a paper and makes a note:

"Why am I studying too much? I almost wasted my life doing all these things. What if, what if I cannot survive this course? Everything is a waste. I believe in myself, but this life doesn't go as we believe.

I cannot drop my course, my family had spent so much already though I have a scholarship. My family counts on me, they expect me to finish this course.

I entered this course, I really don't know what this is. I just came in, and I just can't go out. Where, where will I go? Ahhhhhhhhh!

Stop it John. Let's study again, now."

As he opened the book, he fell asleep.

The next morning, he woke up cramming to read the lessons. Suddenly, he thought, "I should stop this. I know I had enough. I cannot let myself suffer in this course." He went to school dressed up, frowning, worrying because he knows he has not studied well.

When John's professor came into the room, he announced that the examination was postponed for some reasons. John felt the relief. His frown face got a smile on his face. He felt saved from a very hard examination. The professor announced that they can go home already telling htem he cannot attend the class.

John said, "Oh thank you. maybe not studying a lot will postpone examinations. Haha. Kidding. Well, I have to go home and sleep again. I want to sleep!"

"Oh, I already slept a lot last night. Well, it's a great feeling. Maybe I should just sleep always," John added.

John rode on a public transportation. He sat beside the driver.

While on the trip. All the passengers went down the public transportation. John was left beside the driver of the vehicle. The driver talked.

Driver: Hey dude. Where's your destination?

John is asleep.

Driver: Hey dude. Wake up. You're on a public transport. Where's your destination?

John is half awake. John: My destination? Oh, I don't know. I don't know where this course will bring me. I'll just continue till where this will stop. I just study. Studying all over again.

Driver: So, you're a student, a studious student. You're studying with sleepless night, I guess your family expects a lot from you?

John: Yeah. They spent too much money for me to study. We're not rich but I got my scholarship but they still pay for some of my expenses. They expect I can finish this course.

Driver: But, do you like your course?

John: I love my course now. Honestly, I entered this course though I know nothing. Now that I liked it, I just can't get out. I have no option not to like it.

Driver: You know, you're lucky. Oh no, you're blessed.

John fully woke up. John: Oh why? Suffering in school? Blessed?

Driver: Yeah. You know, when I was your age. We're rich, I have all the means but I don't want to go to school. I spend my time with friends going at the bar. I got sleepless nights just drinking beers and chasing women.

I stopped so soon, that's why I wasn't at my destination. You are still on your destination, you are blessed young student. Pursue your dreams. Believe in yourself, what you believe is what you can do.

I did not suffer in school before. But, now I'm suffering being just a driver on a public transport. You are suffering in school now, but you won't suffer when you have your job and get rich someday.

My dream is to be a Mechanical Engineer, but I ended up as a driver of a machine. I like my course but I did not love studying. You are loving your course, you can study well, you can finish your course if you believe in yourself.

Go on your destination. If you have "what-ifs", just ignore them. Like what I said, "Believe in yourself, what you believe is what you can do."

John: (Inspired) Thank you very much for that motivation. I can do this. Just last night, I am so worried. Now, you carried all my worries away. Thank you so much!

Driver: You're welcome. Just remember my story, you'll be motivated. You still have your chance, go to your desired destination.

John: There's my destination. Stop the vehicle over there. Thanks for the motivating ride.Hoping I could ride with your vehicle again.

Driver: See, you arrived at your destination. Good luck on your studies! God bless you.

John: Yeah thanks!

The public transport went away as John run fast going to his bedroom. John is looking for something. And, voila..

John burnt the note he has written last night. John believed what's written in the note became true, it happened on their conversation with the driver. So, John wrote a new note of his destination.
