Future and Philosophy (and the realization I finally concluded)

I was pretty shocked back then when I was called by the school's psychologist. Let's call her, anyway, Ms. Cool. She asked me several questions concerning with the school itself and me of course. The real course for this was about my future. If I'm not mistaken. She asked me, "Is it better to finish study?" I replied, "No, some supposed to be dexterous in the field they dealt with even they didn't finish their study. Some people who didn't finish it, sometimes depict as successful ones when you had a time to compare them with those who finished."

Hmmm.. I think I got a great answer. Some aren't able to finish their study but had the potential compare to those who had been tinted as professional ones. Work was made not to catch great title, instead the important thing for this was how it was manipulated. Come and think of this, if you chose engineering as your course yet you don't have any vibes doing it, then it may lead you to the way you really don't like. Maybe, you chose it for the name's sake or maybe for gaining great prices. You may also receive great rewards through giving chances to what you loved most -- and maybe double of it.

You had the right to manipulate out of your chosen job. When you finally got the chance to pick the course that really fitted you, that was the time to start the manipulation thing. Work was what you chose and not work was what chose you. Little thing to think was that you ought not to be manipulated by work. You chose it and you control it.

Follow what you had set and mostly stand to what you had been committed of. Everyone ha a goal to attain and pursue. Follow it and at the same time do something to make it happen. Once you set it stand for it and never dare to repel with it.

Finally, when you got your first salary, remember this saying I thought when I was taking a bath: "Money is better but virtue is great. Money has face but virtue hasn't. Money is real but virtue is heel. Money is fame but virtue is lame. Money got it all but virtue got the soil. Money is name but virtue is rare. Money is fake but virtue is real. Money held by you but virtue held by God. Always remember that money deserved by most but a poison but virtue deserved by few but an antidote."

After all, YOU CHOOSE YOUR CHANCE. I'm not pushing everybody to "stop finishing study." You also had your stand.

Have a happy life. Make most out of it, BRO!

About Your Filipino Literature

I know the guarantee it brings when reading a book. Not so exhausted, not so mad, you only got fantastic rod. I also tried to read books made and furnished by different authors. Novels, short stories, et cetera, but isn't it a good to start reading reading materials that are scarcely made by our NOYPI authors?

What some do I recommend? I intend not to mention even their synopses for you to read them by yourself.

  • Usok ng Mapupusok na Araw by Ruth E.S. Mabanglo.
  • Landas ng Bahaghari by Benjamin P. Pascual
  • Di Mo Masilip Ang Langit by Benjamin P. Pascual
  • Tata Selo by Rogelio R. Sikat
  • Desaperisidos by Lualhati Bautista
  • Dekada '70 by Lualhati Bautista
  • Suyuan sa Tubigan by Macario Pineda
  • Impeng Negro by Rogelio R. Sikat
  • Utos ng Hari by Jun Cruz Reyes
  • ABNKKBSNPLAKO by Roberto Ong
  • Stainless Longganisa by Roberto Ong
  • MacArthur by Roberto Ong 
  • Noli Me Tangere by Jose Rizal
  • El Filibusterismo by Jose Rizal
Classmates, I know you know them.

At Last! Got it Finished.

It's been a hard core for me to read this book. I was only third year before then when I started to be used reading this pockety. Swear, it spares a lot advancements and trainings. Wondering how, what does this book look like? Just take a glimpse above.

It's too classy to describe this book. It only contains several ideas, hints, and points on how to make your language proficient enough. It has a lot to say whether you have on the dilemma on vocabulary or spelling. It teaches you how to construct good sentences or paragraphs (this one sounds fantastic especially to the authors, I think).

Long way back, my grandmother gave it to me, since I was approaching on fourth year then. She thought that it would be a tough track for me because it takes a lot of examinations. Anyway, the good news is that I finished dealing with it. I took a good time with it. I was being used with euphoria, joie de vivre, epitome, egoist, cadaverous, supercilious, double entendre, vivisectomy, post mortem, bibulous, feline, eugenics, just to utter a few. Sigh! The outcome, perfectly good!

All I could say, you ought to get one. It really helps to boost your language. Very much thank to Mr. Norman Lewis.

The Cramming Waits Ahead!

"Watta CRAM!" I always say this everytime we come up for a big, big, big project. Now, we're approaching to somewhat the last. Thus, thesis will accompany it in order for us to get into the next level. Now, we're doing it step by step! Our "beloved teachers" don't want us to cram by doing some part of thesis one at a time yet, it's been a painful for us after all. We're supposed to defend it and it supposed to make some goosebump!

wOw!

I didn't know those times. I was just cherishing and enjoying what that "AYT!" sign could give. Maybe it alleviated all the fears I have gotten from the goosebumping rides of Enchanted Kingdom. First: Those who are pretty frenzied and I. Latter: Fly feet with Flying Fiesta.!

How hard to be a BOOKWORM?

BOOKWORM. Tattooed! From the very beginning, I just beg for another topic to slay this one, but how much you know, how can you pinpoint out, and justify that this would bring another chapter in your dreary life?

Read. Read. Read. That's how most of us coin this term, BY READING. I have a lot of experiences, and mostly funny antics, about the bookworm was.

A BOOKWORM HAS A LOT OF PAGES TO EAT. This is a passive approach in considering a bookworm a page eater. Not actually. Eating pages one at a time makes one a responsible and a smarter one. Cut it off! I'm so grateful that most of this batch (or bunch) of fourth year students in our institution opt to pick and read book/s just to satisfy their craving, I think, which is scarcely good.

A BOOKWORM LEADS HIS LIFE IN AUSTERITY. Because he/she doesn't allow anyone to catch his/her attention by the moron who only wants to have a conversation packed with moonshines. Introvert I could say, but in a sensible way.

A BOOKWORM IS AN OPTIMIST. Because of the ample ideas stuck inside his brain. He could imagine what would be the process in the next generation; he could understand what other wants to convey; and he could change and move Philippines from its devastations.

These are the least of the explanations how hard to be a bookworm, but I'm trying to make you dare to become like this because being a bookworm is a PRIVILEGE!

Happy BOOKWORMing!

The First to Try

This actually (and maybe) my first time to try in imposing some of my trends and style. Uncovered for sure. But, this depicts as the epitome of my whole.

Bolder than what you think. Sleeker than what you have. But for sure, I'll let myself to ruin this buLAGPIpibiNGI blogspot from this very time and onwards.
