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...

nAsAkTaN aq NanG mAwALa Xa,..

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...

RISNI's type of POETRY...

habang nagkakalkal aq ng basura, nakakita aq ng yellowpad.. xempre binuksan q muna kc kung hindi xa madumi eh dadalhin q s LCAS (commercial: yung may mga papel na hindi na ginagamit dyan, dalhin nyo na lang po sa LCAS office dahil part yan ng social responsibility project namin.. hehe)..

pagbukas q... ava! aun pala yung tula na ginawa ng kapatid q nung 1st year highschool xa... naalala q hindi lang ang kalokohan nya, pati na rin ang kalokohan q dahil nung nagalit aq sknya kasi nag-away kami.... that same paper ay dinala q s school at pinagFIESTAHAN namen ng mga classmate q na ang ending eh ako rin ang kinanchawan nila thru mga kataga na : "mana pala sayo kapatid mo eh!!!" at talagang maloka-loka kami ng mga classmates q s pagtawa...

eto ung poem that im pertaining to:...

Tayong dalwa ay parang lupa at ulap

Sa nagdaang isang linggo isang beses lang nag-usap

Pag-katabi ka ay pakiramdam ay alapaap

Oh pag-ibig anong tindi at sarap.

Ikaw ang nasa isip bago pa matulog

At pagkagising ikaw pa rin hanggang magmumog

Kahit tignan ka lang at di mag-almusal ako ay busog

Ganan kalalim ng puso ko'y sayo ay nahulog.

Tila anghel at dyablo pero yan ang totoo

Pag ibig na bawal pero ito ang sigaw ng puso

Sa utak at puso hindi maglalaho dahil pag ibig ko ay nakapako,

Nakatahi, mighty bond, rugby, glue gun, at tatoo

Talagang malaking magkasalungat

Hindi ako bagay sa iyong talino't ganda

Tignan mo ako parang butong tinalupan ng balat

At dyan sa tabi-tabi ako ay pakalatkalat

Bigla ko namang naalala ang aking dalamhati

Pag kayong dalawa ay naguusap na parehong nakangiti

Hindi mo lang batid ang sakit mula ulo hanggang binti

Bakit ganoon, hindi ko mahuli ang iyong kiliti?

ok, bago q tapusin ang entry na toh... gusto q muna i-defend ang sarili q s mana daw ang kapatid q sakin... kaya nasabi ng classmates q un ay not because ganyan din kadrama ang mga tula q.. hehe kc nananalo aq s mga poem writing contest pero HINDI pa talaga nila nakikita ang gawa q at hindi q balak ipakita dahil baka lalo cla magkaron ng basis na mana talaga ang kapatid ko sakin.. hehe.. kaya nga yung mga english poems na ginawa q ang ni-post q s blog q eh kc kpag english hindi halata n maxadong madrama...

CPA FORUM (04/06/09)

ayan... inilagay q n s blog q ung copy nung forum naten kc there are a lot of people asking me for a copy.. eh para hindi paulit ulit ang pagssend q.... hehe sayang hndi q nakuha ung part 1.. pero ok lang,.. kapg nabasa m 'tong Part 2 eh parang nkaattend ka na rin dun s Part 1... this is just an excerpt of the forum though

Chroneicon: i have only three months to study and review so what i did: 1. create a timetable 2. write down what topics i still need some learning 3. plot iyong topics sa time table 4. and strictly follow it 5. be sure to write down notes for easy recall. acronyms will help too

chroneicon: and another strategy was my friends and i meet after lunch to study in groups

mabangis: wow that's a good one did you have any stumbling block

chroneicon: so lahat ng notes ng review schools e napaghahatian namin

mabangis: like you are tired of studying na at some point?

chroneicon: hindi na ako pumasok sa cpar i mean i decided na di na pumasok sa classes and self study na lang kasi late na rin ako sa topics kung papasok

mabangis: do your friends review from other review centers? chroneicon: sa loob ng 3 months, self study ako pero may photocopies ako ng mga notes from other review enters

lanie: opo sir manny, kailngan ang study plan

rence: s RESA ako ngreview gumawa rin ako ng study plan nun

mabangis: I think what chie has discussed is the same thing that happened to me

mabangis: which I discussed with the guys last time

chroneicon: can i recommend books na makakatulong sa kanila? or hindi?

mabangis: sure pede our aim is to help them pass whatever help you can give what books do you recommend?

chroneicon: BLT - reyes (red book) and suarez (2 white books) p1 - valix (maraming siyang books ahah) p2 - guerrero at de leon latestchroneicon:basta make sure na may at least 2 hours kayong relaxation a day promise!

arvin: galing nman!

exodusknight: hehe.. un actually ung favorite part ni chie dun.. ung relax... haha >:D<>

rence: parang hindi k yata ngawang mgrelax nung ngrereview ako

chroneicon: you need to relax

chroneicon: kung theories kapag nacompile mo lahat ng notes ng reivew centers good na iyon pero books ni valix will help

arvin: handouts r sufficient enough b?

chroneicon: compilation ng lahat ng handouts ng review centers i think okay na iyon

mabangis: I think handouts served their purpose very well because they are more updated than books most of the time created by reviewers as they do the review

chroneicon: you need to get them from students na nag-attend ng class

chroneicon: so rely ka rin sa notes ng review mate mo

mabangis: so it is true that a study plan works for you

chroneicon: for me yes

mabangis: the key is not the plan but how you follow that plan - discipline

chroneicon: but you have to strictly follow it don't overstudy if you know the topic already focus on those na hindi mo alam

mabangis: it is true that you need buddies to get you rolling and get you the other materials you need which leads me to my point today before anything else, know thyself

chroneicon1: group studies? depende sa kasama mo

mabangis: know what you know and where you are good at prioritize on the things that are hard for you and during the review try to get clarity on that even if you have to bug your reviewer or prof about it for them to help you, you have to let them know you want to learn remember that chances favored the prepared mind so if you are good at Prac 1, dont spend too much time on it during the review

chroneicon: true pero don't forget to review

mabangis: focus on what you do not know yet and those that are hard for you
so what you do is that on your study plan you only give it a smaller piece of your time we will get to that so basic stuff first know what you already know and dont know that's first because the second one is the Time management part where you are gonna sink all these information in

mabangis: like chie had before you have to work a plan first so you can plan your review after the reason this is important and I am happy that chie has done the same (and he is now a cpa) is that it helps get all the loopholes of the review to be patched sabi nga e you will leave no stones unturned in the course of the review you have to manage your time well because you will surely feel harrassed

rence: oo lalo n kung wikends mabangisand feel inadequate as you come near the exam day the pressure will mount and you will not notice this but you will cram like my classmates did I have my own study plan back then and I can tell you it extends beyond that you see I am a working student all my college days till review

chroneicon: true

rence: pareho pla tau sir manny

mabangis: and the only thing that keeps me in sane is how I handle time properly chroneicon: you can paste your notes sa walls nyo it helps i've done that bago matulog, notespagkagising, notes ang makikita mo

mabangis: you see, I have this yellow pad of paper back then

chroneicon: imposible na hindi mo makabisa ang formulas, acronyms mabangis: where I can see what subject I need to study at what time

chroneicon: if you "detain" yourself sa isang room full of notes mabangis: when is the time for work mabangis: when is the time to study

mabangis: when is the time to eat and relax as well mabangis: although I am the type that dont relax too much, I do spend time watching TV to relax

chroneicon: follow Sir Mann'ys advice, he know what he is saying mabangis: yun na ang relaxation ko

chroneicon: he knows*

mabangis: mahilig ako manuod nun ng Ang TV kids hehehe sensya na tanda na e

chroneicon: nyahaha

mabangis: so pag 5:30 TV time na
chroneicon: color your accomplishments sa timetable

mabangis: hehehehe same same

chroneicon: it makes you more aware sa things to do mo

mabangis: mine has tickmarks of different colors of pen I have a four color pen back then I tick it everytime I am done mabangis: gets you feel accomplished

chroneicon: haha, review days. ganyan din ako

mabangis: and you are getting confident everytime which leads me to the point How confident are you that you will pass the board exams? confidence is not something you will earn overnight mabangisbut it is important that you have it before you go to that exam day full of hope

chroneicon: yes chroneicon: true

mabangis: or full of fear

chroneicon: may i add sir Manny

mabangis: cge

chroneicon: it is good that you have confidence but don't be overconfident

CRACKED POT

A water carrier in India had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of these pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. .

For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots of water to the house. .

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its imperfections, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what i t had been made to do. .

After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself and want to apologize to you. I have been able to only deliver half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts, " the pot said. .

The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there are flowers only on your side of the path, but not the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

The moral of the story? Each of us has our own flaws. We're all cracked pots, but it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.

You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. Remember to appreciate the diversity in your life and your workplace. And mostly remember, in the end we are just cracked pots!

GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD

“… You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result …” Genesis 50:20 (NIV)

May this be a time of Thanksgiving for you – Praise God that he makes “all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28, HCSB)

The life of Joseph was anything but peaceful. It was filled with youthful folly, broken dreams, and the mean-spirited actions of others. Yet he remained a man remarkable for his lack of bitterness or regret, always seeing God as the “Great Engineer” behind even the worst of circumstances.

In a final confrontation with his brothers, he graciously noted, “You meant it for bad; God meant it for good.”
The theology packed in that statement is astounding. ‘God meant it for good means --

You can accept the past -- No sin, no action, no choice on your part is too big for God to handle – or too big to be worked for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His name. Just ask Joseph; Better yet, ask his fearful and famished brothers, who were forced to rely on him for survival.

You can embrace the present -- There’s no need to play the ‘what if’ game. The past is gone, and no energy you expend will ever change it. The future is in God's omnipotent hands, so you’re free to focus on the present. Your job is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, trusting Him to forgive the past and transform the future. Martyred missionary Jim Eliot once wrote, “Wherever you are, be all there,” not living in the past and not fantasizing about the future. God wants you in the present because that’s where His grace will flow.

You can look expectantly toward the future -- Even if you make mistakes today, God still controls your future. Walking in the Spirit, you can live life to the fullest, unafraid of making mistakes and unconcerned you may stumble into some terrible circumstance that takes you out of God's control. Even when things appear to be terrible, you can trust that God is working out some divine plan through you.

So what?
· No matter how bad things get -- God is still able to bring good out of it. Today, thank God that nothing – no disaster, no delay – is bigger that his ability to turn it into something good and godly.
· Thank God and let go - Thank God that he is sovereign over your past, your present, and your future.
· Give God the circumstances, disasters, hindrances, hurts, and sins from your past; · Give God your current situation, your disasters, hindrances, hurts, and sins of today; · Praise God that he can work anything in your future for godly good, that you can walk in confidence that there is nothing anyone can do to you, or anything you can do that will be beyond the reach of God’s Grace and redemption.
· Look for God’s hand -- Walking by faith means you see God’s hand even in the most difficult of circumstances. You trust in his ability and his willingness to transform the bad into godly good. God is not limited by people’s motives; in other words, it does not matter why someone hurt you, God can still transform a deliberate, mean-spirited situation into something for his good.
· What will you allow God to change? – There it is: some situation, or event, or person in your life who, as far as you can tell, ‘meant it for bad.’ How do you think God meant it for good? Ask God what he wants you to do with this situation (event or person). When he answers, do it.

JOURNEY

I'm almost through with my First semester in my Third year in college.. whew!! it has been really exhausting for me and my classmates.. it's like,..

• Conducting a seminar in Financial Management
• Documentation in Financial Management
• Debate about the Review School
• Documentary project in Social Science
• Practicing for the presentation in Organizational Behavior
• Reviewing for the quizzes
• Working for the other requirements

needless to state that we have to do it simultaneously.. that is why we had trouble with the schedule because we have different groupings in each project..

in spite of all the stress, and after all those sleepless nights.. i must say that it's all WORTH the Effort.. because I learned a lot from it.. not only the technical stuffs but also the things which would be difficult for me to find out if I haven't been through the pressure..

IT IS NOT THE DESTINATION, BUT THE JOURNEY...

it's true.. there are a lot of people who do not get the chance to enjoy what they're doing because they are too focused on their destination, to the extent of missing more important things.. in everything we do,.. may it be a struggle, may it be within or beyond our will,.. let us enjoy our journey.. let us appreciate the chance that is given to us.. let us always look forward to the things that it can teach us.. and let us be grateful all the time..

..and for the people who almost want to complain about being overloaded with responsibilities..

TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS EXPECTED..

be grateful..

WHAT DEFINES YOU?..

this is the title of the seminar we conducted in school.. INVEST IN WHAT MATTERS.. sounds superficial and a cliche but if we would ask ourselves.. what are the things that really matter to us?.. as students, we tend to be very grade-conscious at times that is why we deprive ourselves from having fun because we want to use every single second reading in advance or maybe reviewing to the point that we felt quite guilty when we 're not doing anything which is not related to school or when we're not at the state of being too much bothered, that is because we already learned to live with the pressure of doing things at the same time or meeting deadlines that fall on the same day.. but if we would think about it,..the numbers that are presented in our class cards- are those the only things that matter to us?..

we should enjoy our life,.. live for a purpose.. because at the end of the day, we will achieve self-fulfillment, that everybody's longing for, from the things that made us happy,.. and not only from those things that we did because we were obliged to..

let us search ourselves.. WHAT DEFINES YOU?.. is it just your grades?.. is it just your beauty?.. your wealth?..

MOVE ON

I have been weeping for so long

expecting that one day you will come along

..that you will wipe my falling tears

.. and kiss away my greatest fears

I was staring as you hold her hand

..and murmured, "now I understand"

I was looking as you gaze in her eyes

..how I wish my feelings would be as cold as ice..

In your eyes I can see affection

.. the way you give her your full attention

In your smile I can see true merriment

For you, she might be the reason of your existence

Now I'm completely letting go

Thanks for the distress you've bestowed

Thanks for the restored friendship..

that would be enough to lessen my hardship

It might be uneasy for me to forget

But one day I will look deeply into your eyes and whisper,

"AT LAST! I HAVE MOVED FROM MY PAST.."

i made this last september 2, 2006.. whew!! it has been 2years ago.. haha..

it feels so nice to look back to the stressful things you've been through and realize how grateful you are enjoying your present condition.. hehe.. that is being surrounded with people you love and who cares for you.. now is the day that i can say "AT LAST! I HAVE MOVED FROM MY PAST!!".. i can't tell it while staring deeply into his eyes though because I haven't seen him lately.. haha..

MISERABLE

I was isolated when you redeemed me

I was wet in the midst of the rushing storm

The harsh wind is whipping me inside

And your silence is killing me within

I was deaf when I heard you whisper

And I was blind when I saw you coming

Now that I've realized how I love you so much

The soul that once saved me is killing me now

You locked me up in a very dark dungeon

And your coldness is freezing me now

I'm deeply wounded with your gaze

And your smile is crushing me into pieces

I'm thirsty, give me a drink..

..the blood that is flowing through your veins

I'm tired of playing this game with you

Let me rest in your restricted arms

Your wrath is a striking flame

..growing wilder in every drop of the rain..
