SUPERMAN IS DEAD

Johnny James Smith
had straight A's in school.
Class president every year
he never broke the rules.
He was in the coolest clique,
never got in fights.
But his friends never saw him
after school at night.
Every problem thrown his way
he fought it to the end.
His family and friends
nicknamed him superman.
Saving damsels in distress
standing up for the weak.
He had the intelligence of a genius
the room quite when he'd speak.
But nobody knew what happened
late every single night.
When Johnny was caught in the middle
of his mother and father's fight.
Every day after school
Johnny would walk home alone.
Come home to his parents,
to a family with a heart of stone.
Objects were thrown
as they fly across his face.
He tried so hard to please
but only seen as a disgrace.
His grades would start to slip
and he would fight even more.
But the harder he fought
the harder he fell to the floor.
Friends began to leave him
people ignored him as he spoke
as hard as he tried to fix it all
his life was only a heartless joke.
Bottles and knives still flying
from one room to the next.
Giving up on everything else
he took advantage of one object.
Falling to the floor
as he remembered the years
brought down to hopelessness
to a flow of transparent tears.
With his last remaining minute
he reached for a paper and pen.
Leaving a note for whoever cared
or cared for a life that had been.
Days had past since then
before he was found
his parents killed each other
the house no longer made a sound.
Old friends came again
to see the horrible site
Not soon after did they find the note
that the young boy did write.
Everyone held their breath
as the note was slowly read.
Written with four crimson words
"Your Superman is Dead."
this was written by my friend LONELY ROMEO... i posted it here in my blog because i find it very tragic, yet very exquisite...

SOMEDAY

I've never seen his face
I've never heard his voice
But I know he's out there waiting for me
I've never felt his touch or tasted his kiss
But my heart will know the moment we meet
Might be tomorrow
Might be today
I don't know the time
I don't know the place
I've seen all the looks
I've heard all the lines
I know what most guys are about
I'll know the truth when I look in his eyes
And I know there won't be any doubt
I'm not in a hurry
There's lots of time
But I keep his picture
At the back of my mind
I'm not looking for a prince
To come and rescue me
I don't believe in fairytales
But I believe---

Someday, somewhere
Someone will be there
To love me and share
The rest of my life
Won't look behind me
Let destiny guide me
I know that he'll find me
Somewhere, someday

TURISTA sa sariling BARANGGAY!!!

1995 when we moved here in San Pablo, Laguna... sa San Juan kami tumira nun.. and until now sa San Juan pa rin kami.. hehe... for more than 15 years, ang nararating ko lang sa San Juan ay ang bahay namin because I was not allowed to play outside nung bata pa ako, i was raised sa ganon.. kaya hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin ma-figure out kung bakit may mga tao na gustong gusto na pakalat kalat sa labas...

one time,.. laban ni PACQUIAO nun against Hatton (wala lang,.. type ko lang isali..) we had lunch sa labas ng family ko.. after that we went to a grocery store... being "tao na ayaw magstay sa layasan", niyaya ko ang kapatid ko na umuwi na kami at sila mama at papa na lang ang maggala... nung nasa jeep na kami, naalala ko na wala akong dala na susi... hindi kami magkatabi ng kapatid ko kaya hindi ko agad nasabi sakanya... pagkababa ng jeep....


(habang naglalakad)

ako: risni my dala kang susi..?
risni: huh?!.. (kinapa ang bulsa).. wala rin yata eh...
ako: hala! lagot tayo
risni: hindi yan.. wag ka mag-alala! ako bahala!

(nakarating kami sa gate)

risni: hala! naiwan ko pala sa ******* ung susi..
ako: boi panu yan..
risni: di bale! aakyatin ko yung gate
ako: sira ka! baka mahulog ka sa kabilang bakod... kakagatin ka ng aso ng kapitbahay
risni: hindi yan! lagi ko nga ginagawa to eh.. kilala na nga ako ng aso ng kapitbahay...

(umakyat na nga siya sa bakod at nakuha ang susi ng gate s ********,... binuksan nya agad ang gate para makapasok ako... binuksan na rin nya ang unang deadbolt ng main door,... itinulak ito at------)

risni: hala! ate! pati yata yung pangalawang deadbolt naka-lock!!
ako: hala! uo nga!! ni-lock ni papa kanina... wala ka bang susi nun?
risni: wala eh....

kaya hindi rin kami nakapasok sa loob ng bahay... si risni ay mainipin kaya ayw niya na nagsstay lang sa isang lugar,... maliban na lang kung nag-iinternet or naglalaro siya ng PSP... kaya niyaya niya ko sa "burol"..

ako: huh?... anong burol?


oo... hindi ko alam na may burol sa San Juan.... dahil mapilit siya at para na rin bonding moments namin eh pumayag na ko sumama sa kanya at eto ang mga sunod na kaganapan: ;-)

ang cute ng mga baka at kalabaw

dumaan din kami sa mga pinyahan... kung pwede lang sana kumuha

nag-skateboard si risni kaya naki-try din ako.. hehe


ayan ang bunot.. hehe yung ginagawang eskoba... nagpa-tumbling tumbling si risni jan.. hindi ko na sinubukan baka mabalian pa ko ng buto... haha


manghang-mangha ako sa mga nadaanan namin.. walang ginawa si Risni kundi pagtawanan ako at sabihing "ngayon ka lang nakapunta dito?.. " ang saya talaga.. pero hindi ko pa rin gusto na maging pakalat-kalat sa kung saan saan.. (arte?.. hehe)

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER


"wag mong isipin ang pag-alis.. ang importante yung mga memories.. kaya cherish and enjoy each moment habang magkasama pa kayo.."

.. kaya pala sinabi niya sakin yun.. pati pala siya ay aalis...


hmmmm.. wla na akong maisip pah!! haha.. wala na talaga akong masasabi pah pero xempre walang kwenta ang entry na ito kung hanggang jan na lang... kaya pinipilit ko ang mga hormones sa aking kautakan na magproduce pa ng ideas..

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER.. gaano nga ba katotoo?....
- ang pinakamasarap na candy kapag nabasa natutunaw.. kahit hindi mo nga kainin pagtagal-tagal natutunaw pa rin..
-ang papel ng favorite mong book tatagal ba?.. ahmmmm.. uo.. pero nawawala din dahil kay kaibigang anay..
-ang ink ng pinaka favorite mong ipangsulat na ballpen after ilang weeks or months (para sa hindi mahilig magsulat), nauubos din..
-ang walis tambo nauubos rin.. minsan nga yung mga buhok ng walis tambo na mismo ang winawalis mo eh...

hmmmm.... totoo nga... kahit na anong bagay nasisira,... kahit pa ang paborito mong gamit may hangganan... may hangganan?... tama.. kahit na ang pinakamagandang relasyon ay may hangganan.. hindi mo naman pwedeng makasama ang taong mahal mo ng forever ah!... ano nga ba ang forever?.. happily ever after?... anong meron pagkatapos ng after?.. it only proves that NOTHING LASTS FOREVER sa earth.. kaya totoo nga.. advisable nga to live each day as if ayun na ang huli....

JPIA-ANNUAL NATIONAL CONVENTION

Sa dinami dami ng problems na na-encounter, finally nakarating din kami sa ANC(annual national convention) sa NEGROS OCCIDENTAL..

UNANG EKSENA: SERIOUS MODE

during elimination round at second round ng JPIA CUP sa BLT (BUSINESS LAW AND TAXATION) at P2 (PRACTICAL ACCOUNTING 2).. hanapin nyo na lang ako sa liit nyan... hehe
BUKINGAN: dapat talaga sa P2 lang ako magccompete.. pero go na rin sa BLT kahit hindi pa nkakapgtake up ng taxation subject.. hehe.. mega hula tuloy ako sa percentage ng tax sa mga problems dun.. nakapanghula naman ng isa.. hehe

IKALAWANG EKSENA: THE MIGHTY VOLCANO

Mt. Kanlaon ang bulkan sa Mambukal Resort,.. kung ang San Pablo City, Laguna ay may Pitong Lawa,.. ang Murcia ay may Pitong Talon.. hanggang sa 3rd falls lang ang naakyat namin dahil soooobrang nakakapagod.. nanginginig na nga pata ko nung pababa eh...

BUKINGAN: achievement na nga para sakin na nakaakyat ako dun dahil may fear of heights ako... kaya nung pababa na ng bundok (bulkan daw ang Mt. Kanlaon at active siya) eh paulit ulit kong sinasabi sa sarili ko "hindi ako takot! hindi ako takot!".. haha.. oo! inuuto ko ang sarili ko..

IKATLONG EKSENA: "PICTURAN MO KO THEN PICTURAN KITA"


Dahil tatlo lang kami na laging magkakasama (itago na lang natin sila sa tunay nilang pangalan na Jervy at JayR) it was so difficult for us na picturan na kumpleto kaming tatlo dahil kung hawak ng isa ang camera eh hindi kami kasya.. haha kaya ang set up, PICTURAN MO KO THEN PICTURAN KITA AFTER or PICTURAN KO KAYO THEN KAMI NAMAN MAMAYA PICTURAN MO.. hehe

IKA-APAT NA EKSENA: MEETING NEW FRIENDS


hmmmm.. schoolmates kami pero hi! hello! lang kapag nagkakasalubong.. o kaya naman mga short conversations like "anong book gamit mo sa gantong subject?" or "mahirap ba makasurvive sa gantong subject?".. pero sa 4days na nakasama ko sila... sooooooobrang saya kahit na nasusungitan ako ni Kuya JR minsan tapos icocomfort ako ni jervy,.. or magtatampo si Jervy kapag hindi napagbigyan ang gusto tapos pagtatawanan at lalo lang namin siya iinisin ni Kuya JR...


para naman sa mga bago naming friends na itatago sa tunay nila ulit na pangalan,.. Yvette, Joshua, Sir Rei, Ate Roma, Mam Lani, Dex, Kuya Reginald, at yung iba pa na hindi ko maalala ang name,.. kitakitz sa next convention at yung mga graduate na at go na sa Board Exam sa October, manlibre (para to kay Kuya JR, Kuya Reginald, Jervy, Joshua, Dex, at Ate Roma.. haha)

IKA-LIMANG EKSENA: ANG PINAKA


PINAKA NAKAKAKABA:

ang pinaka-kinabahan ako.. hehe mas kinabahan pa ko jan compared with the NFJPIA CUP.. pero i really mean it when i said "it's not just about the end result,.. it is how you fight and how you stand up for your self..."

PINAKA MALI NA GINAWA KO:

ang akalain na exempted ako sa pagbabayad ng terminal fee sa airport.. hehe.. P200 na nga lang tatakasan ko pa.. haha

PINAKA BAGONG REBELASYON:

naaattract DAW ako sa magaling sa MAS(MANAGEMENT ADVISORY SERVICES)... at ang COKE ay nakakalasing..

PINAKA PASAWAY:

mga tga REGION 4.. buti hindi tayo napaalis sa convention nang dahil sa tatlong beses kong pagkuha ng leche flan, dahil sa pag-iingay naten (pero wala pa rin tatalo sa mga poker face singer.. ;p), at dahil sa mga ginagawa natin sa gabi na bonding session.. hehe


PINAKA FAVORITE NA PICTURE KO:




hehe.. kapag tulog lang si Kuya JR kayang gawin ni Jervy yan... haha.. pinagbigyan ko na si Jervy na picturan yan dahil nag-eemote ang Jervy nung hindi kami pumayag ni Kuya na makipagpalit ng seat sa plane back to Manila...

CPA FORUM (04/13/09)

hi!.. for those na hindi nakaattend kagabi, and for those na gusto ireview or irecall ung forum.. eto n ung transcript ng forum nung apr.13.. kagabi yun.. hehe.. eto na ung mga pinaka importante na part ng forum...

Nagsimula kami s mga tanong nina albert...

albert: am.. sunday nagplano ko about the subjects and naicp ko n pagsunudsunudin ung amagkakarelated such as toa, prac1 and aud prob. mas ok b yun? or magumpisa ko sa mahirap hnggang dun s d maxado..
SirManny: my advice is tackle what you think you are weak on first this is part of my advice last time about knowing what you know and tackling those that you are weak at first and foremost give it more time so that you can balance things out when the exam is near well here's an advice I can give don't dwell on your losses too much while you are reviewing until its actual board it does not make sense to fret about it and think you are not capable but its normal
albert: kc di ko talga matanggap yung naging resulta ng mock board T_T
SirManny: its just the way we view things when we are really dying to get things done right we get frustrated but instead of getting to that mode strategize on it overcome it by putting your heart into the matter ask questions on the subject find a review buddy para may kabatuhan ka ng ideas pester your reviewee kapag di ka pa sure kailangan makulet ka sa review so you can get more from it and get your mind motivated so dont worry its normal to feel disappointed to those pre-board or mock board but tell yourself always you can get back and that is just a sign that you need to review more so strategy for you is get the hardest part first when I say that I mean deep dive learn it love it breath it
albert: i started to ask my self nga am i good enough?? then sabi ko no kulang pa i have to learn more
Lanie: sir sa katulad kong matagal nang graduate, applicable din b s akin yon, o i need to start all over again, to study from the beginning
SirManny: yours is good because balance ka i mean you should assume you start fresh you have to accept that you will have to re-learn what you already know the reason for that is the updates
Lanie: oo nga po
SirManny: but the basics are there naman i am sure you know most like financial statements preparation etc if you are working but to those like you dapat wag kang mahiya na iaccept its hard if you think you know it already then the tendency is to skip but the danger there are the updates today
SirManny: the review strategy na study the hardest to easiest applies to all it worked for me given that I have a very poor college foundation its the same if I did not get to the cpa board after 10 or 15 years

and then Sir Manny brought up a new topic which is also related to the previous discussion we had on our 2nd forum...

SirManny: today I will tackle on things such as getting organized and why it is important we will touch additionally on building up your confidence more and some pysche you can use to pass the board
SirManny: ok on my new topic today Getting Organized I have one story to tell that I hope will be an eye opener to all those who will take the board exams for the first time you know I almost did not take the board simply because of my name? here's what happened when I am registering sa PRC my school records did not match my birth certificate so they wont register me to the board exams to cure it i have to fix my school records to match my birth certificate and I have to redo everything from elementary to college in all schools that I attended with ONLY 3 WEEKS TO THE BOARD! so you know the big lesson there is I am not organized the first time I have not planned everything well and waited for the last minute to register sa PRC when I should have done it a little earlier desidido rin naman ako kumuha e in the end umabot ako but with all the pressures unnecesary at that time
SirManny:so you see at this point in your review ask yourself the question first are you set for the CPA board? is everything OK documentations etc my point is you will be harassed
SirManny: 2nd get your review sessions organized as well make sure you have a spot at home that you are comfortable to stay while reviewing you have to get rid of all the clutters get rid of things that are of no use to you at the review say you love watching tv go to a place in the house where you wont hear it at all when reviewing say you love music or the radio while reviewing, take them all out but if you can learn while listening to music then that's fine
SirManny : DISTRACTIONS you have to be very conscious of this you may not know it but it creeps in to your schedule you need to get yourself organized
albert : so dapat more focus and have adiscipline as well
SirManny: but if you will not prepare the things around you you will not be conscious about it you have to make a conscious effort to let yourself know that hey me, you are reviewing for the CPA board exams
SirManny: what are the suggested changes you need to do 1. get your review materials organized when you have a study plan, your review materials (books, handouts, notes etc) should be easily accessible avoid headaches of finding something amongst the rubble you will lose time precious time
SirManny: 2. get your place of review the holiest place in the house for the next 5 or 6 month get a study table and a comfy chair so that when its time to study you just sit there and do your thing when its time to stop you leave it there and relax then come back again don't get the habit of reviewing in almost every corner of the house like walking around or doing 2 things at the same time it doesnt work for me you can try but I dont suggest it i mean don't review while you are cooking or taking care of kids or cleaning the house you need mental concentration because you have to stuff your brain with a 4-year worth of materials in only 5 to 6 months imagine that in other words get a conducive place to study wherever it is in the house get your place and stick to it once you are a CPA na you will remember that part of the house and thank it.. hehehe
SirManny: 3. get other people in the house cooperate with you tell them dont mess up with your books or materials again the key is make it holy… hehehe why I am saying this is because you have to make a change in you within this period you have to change your mindset you have to change your psyche you have to change your approach in the study you have to be disciplined you have to beat procrastination you have to beat the CPA EXAMS!
albert: sir dun po ako nahihirapan kc parang my anghel at demon sa tabi ko tuwing magrereview...^^ ung isa go go go.... ung isa tma na yan
SirManny: meron din ako nyan dati ang suggestion ko wag mo pakinggan
SirManny: by the way I dont suggest you review pa mga 3 days before the board
SirManny: you have to get as much review materials as you can even from other centers it is important for you to get familiarity on the questions and how it will be solved so practice with those handouts and mock exams as much as you can wag mo na intindihin ang scores kung may mali ka e di let it be ah... practice lng ng practice and importante you recognize it and get used to solving problems or memorizing those you dont know
arvin: sir manny excuse me ulit... kung ndi b kayang kuhanin lhat, would you advice n mgmaster atleast 4 or 5 subjects pr mconditioned?
SirManny: i would not advice that in the first place when you shoot for that, you might end up failing I remember one of my former boss told me when you aim at a goal aim higher than what you want if you want the moon, shoot for the stars at least pag nalaglag ka, sa buwan pa rin ang bagsak mo same with the board exams the goal should be to top the board! that's how you should take it

hmmm.. my favorite part of the trip (DORA the Explorer?.. hehe).. este... the part of the forum which i would like to quote is:

"when you aim at a goal, aim higher than what you want.. if you want
the moon, shoot for the stars
"

ANNOUNCEMENT:

OUR NEXT FORUM WOULD BE ON THE 20TH OF APRIL, 2009.. 3PM TO 5PM.. SEE YAH GUYS...
