Life tapestry

Bakit ganun ganyan (Part II)

Mas pakiramdam kong mag-tagalog ngayon. Sa mga taong ayaw mahawa sa komplikado kong pag-iisip ngayon, mas mainam pong wag niyo nalang pong basahin ito. =)

Sadyang may mga bagay na kay hirap intindihin o hindi ko lang talaga sya naintindihan o sadyang ayaw lang ipaintindi sa akin.

Dahil dito, bumalik sa aking ala-ala ang paalaalang sadyang sa buhay may mga bagay na dapat paniwalaan nalang, sundin kesa naman ma syak o mabagot ako sa kaka-antay ng sagot kung bakit ganito ganyan.

Sadyang may mga importanteng bagay pa akong dapat gawin ngayon, pero para paalalahan ang aking sarili kaya ko po pilit na tinitipa ang mga salitang ito, para naman mabawasan ang mga salitang gusto ko pong bigkasin pero wala akong makausap, computer lang. =)

Hay naku, sadyang ganun lang talaga. Balik trabaho na muna ako, para naman may magawa akong kapaki-pakinabang sa sambayanang Pilipino, mga mumunting bagay sa pagligtas sa bansang pilit na niyuyurakan ng mga taong walang magawa sa buhay.


Ayan, as simple as that, masaya na ulit ako. Ganoon la'ang. accept ng accept, learn ng learn, smile ng smile, kasi masarap mabuhay sa mundong ibabaw.Lantakin natin ito ng may kasayahan, kagalakan at pasasalamat.

Sa mga taong nagbabasa nito, pasensya sa abala.

Subject-verb agreement

When is committing a mistake on subject-verb agreement pardonable?

I am guilty to this. An adage says that doing the same mistake twice or more than that is foolishness and considered stupidity. Is committing a mistake with my grammar makes me fall both to the first and to the latter? Oh no…

I’ve been studying both the simplicity and complexity of grammar since my elementary years. Most of my instructors are quite good with grammar.

Because they’re good and I always found myself receiving papers with red corrections due to my spelling and grammar insufficiencies, chunks of thoughts linger into my mind that I can not write. Even in my lower years, I choose to love mathematics and science and technology where my instructors focus on the thoughts I have about the magical and complex yet so simple subjects (oh, yes). Like when you’re so excited about a subject matter, a magic happens because you tend to forget about the grammar and your words tend to fly one by one as fast as superman.

I find a friend in the subjects of math and science. These are the subjects when no one argues everything I know about Einstein, about manipulating an equation and about researching for possible solutions to our on-going subject problems (which I already forgot how).

Some say I am weird, but what a fool of them. This is a reminder for me that I AM INDEED NORMAL. So what??? That only proves true that individuals are favorable agents and accomplices of deception, the weapon of the adversary.

This blog helps me forget about the notion that “I CANNOT WRITE.” It started when I got traumatized during my high school years on how I got very low scores in every essay question. No matter how I study and no matter how I memorize my book plus my notebook back to back from leaf to leaf, I still flank because of my grammar and spelling. I mean my grammar is not that disappointing but because every single mistake is considered a minus point and competition during our high school days is so harsh that committing single mistake would mean a substantial thing. It can mean another point which will enlist or not enlist me to the higher honor students.

How INSTRUCTORS become so HARSH sometimes. I only pray that they will not serve as the blockade of our dreams the same way as how Israel is blocking the food supply of Gaza people. Yes, its part of their job to train us with what they call “the harshness of the outside world.” But you need to understand that you should not use your profession to fuel us with negative thoughts and which will lead us to doubt our own selves especially to the high school and elementary students who most of the time thought that “MY TEACHER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. PERIOD.”

How teachers become so influential in the life of the students.

I am praying that those teachers who are teaching because of money not because they have the passion for their profession. Please wake up. As I am asking for the big heart to teach these students in the near future that I may not act the same way as the “Teachers whom I hate before.”

When you’re trying to write for something but with another topic lurking in the middle of your brain cells, this is what will happen. –A twisted content not parallel to the topic. I’m thinking that it is an art and I am not planning to rewrite it. =)

I find this post very insufficient. I'll update you my dear blog on how i found out that my hands are not meant to stitch skin, hold blood and slice bodies (yung doctor) the concrete plan i have when i was a child.

Note: I don’t mean my school today. I have a very happy disposition as to where I am enrolled today. I am writing in general terms, I can see that you are reading my words in disbelief.

Back to work.

St. Michael High School Batch 2004

Assessment as of 2008, days before College Graduation (pdF!)

I was deeply shocked when my google desktop display this file. I can't even remember that I've written and delivered this speech four years ago. There's a a feeling of guilt as to how i semi-murdered some characters here and a feeling of happiness as to how my high school friends are really trying hard and working hard to achieve each dream.

Okey as of this writing, majority of us are on the verge of completing our thesis. As of this writing, most are coping with deadlines since graduation is only a couple of weeks away (wow, how time flies so fast). Glory to the high heavens for all the blessings, for the grace, for everything for whoever we are now.

So far, around two of the my high school friends have chosen to prioritized marriage over school. Another classmate is a candidiate of Magna Cumlaude from a renowned school of the semi-skolar ng bayan (galeng'). Sir Daniel Ducao called me weeks before this post and he's doing fine. Ma'am Jenna Gutual-Pillo has quit her job and is now a fulltime mother-wife. The entire batch has been into reunions, christmas gatherings and swimming night outs I mean day outs without my presence and my visit to them as well as to the school is as blurred as the eyes of my schoolmate (laughs).

This is a post for my high school friends. If you want to add something just leave a comment and I am very willing to update this post just for the benefit of this historical record (chaaa).

I am bound to Iligan this month. But still no concrete plans of going to my past hometown.

My dear friends I have also a past post about the swimming birthday party (remember when???) just take a look on the archives. I guess it's posted on the month of December during the birthday of my sister. Just correct me if I'm wrong. Okidoki.

GOOD AFTERNOON

ON A ONE MOONY EVENING WHEN THE STARS ARE FULLY SHINING I COME UP TO A DECISION TO SEE OUR FUTURE THROUGH TIME TRAVELLING. AS I PRESS START ON MY DEVICE, I SAW A VERY BRIGHT CLOUD THAT BROUGHT ME IN THE YEAR 2O25.

THE VERY FIRST SCENE WAS BREATH-TAKING! I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! IT WAS ACTUALLY I FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE IN A COURT ROOM. I AM ALREADY A LAWYER. ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS ATTORNEY NIELMA BELLE RAMOS HELPING THE PROSECUTION PANEL

WHAT A PICTURISQUE MOMENT. I SAW THE LANDING OF A JET LINER WHOSE PILOT WAS KRIS WILVIN CANAMA AND ON BOARD WERE ALBERT ALIA, JACKIE JAMES PACATANG, RAYMUNDO CAMASURA AND EDDIESON BARRICA. WITH THEM WERE LEAH FE ORDENIZA, MARILIE CINCO, AIZA FERNANDEZ AND MARIVEL TEVES AS THE STEWARDESSES. COMING OUT WERE SENATOR BERNIEL RUNDINA HOLDING HIS WIFE DEAL SANIPA, AN ECONOMIST AND AN EDUCATOR. THEY WERE MET BY THE GORGEOUS CONNIE TRONIADO, THE HEAD OF PHILIPPINE TOURISM. I HAVE SEEN GROUP OF SOLDIERS WHICH INCLUDE JOHNY CABANLIT, NOEL ANOTADO, JOSEFEL MEDALLE, MARCELLO MELLANAR ACE VERNIE MUNOS AND SOME OTHERS MARCHING TOWARDS THEM. THEY WERE HEADED BY GENERAL JYNEPHER ASOK, AND COLONEL ARSENIO SALVACION. THIS AWARDING CEREMONY WAS ALL ABOUT CLEO ESTUDILLO, A SCIENTIST WHO INVENTED A TREE THAT WILL BEAR MONEY!!! WOW! THAT WAS VERY FASCINATING

AS I TURNED AROUND THE OTHER SWITCH OF MY MACHINE, I WAS BROUGHT INTO THE GARDEN FULL OF FLOWERS. IT WAS THE WEDDING CEREMONY OF THE MILLIONAIRE, PETER JUN BALATERO AND A HACIENDERA, CRISTINE RODRIGUEZ. THE CEREMONY WAS CONDUCTED BY JEANILO ANTONIO. THE NUNS INCLUDING DEVIE ENGUITO ATTENDED THE CEREMONY ALSO. THE RECEPTION WAS HELD IN THE GLAMOROUS HOTEL OF MS. SHAUNA MILLONDAGA. AS I LOOKED STRAIGHT I SAW JERALDINE CANETE, RHM CABANDAY, ANALYN PARADERO AND JELLY ANN ACLAO, THE HOTEL MANAGERS. I SAW A HONDA CIVIC AND I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT THE GUY INSIDE. UNTIL I SAW THE VERY IMPRESSIVE MR DANIEL DUCAO, WEARING AN AMERICANA. AN INTERNATIONAL BAND CALLED SONIC BATTLE FILLED THE PLACE WITH ROMANTIC MUSIC. JAY BANGLOS WAS THE BACK-UP SINGER, JANE IRENE MANLIGRO WAS THE LEAD SINGER, HEMSON LUGAGAY WAS THE GUITARIST. THE KEYBOARD WAS PLAYED BY DARWIN CAPAROSO AND THEIR DRUMMER WAS THE VERY FINE-LOOKING ROLANDO TY. THE NEVER-FADING BEAUTY OF MS. ERLINDA BALANSAG WAS ALSO IN THE SCENE. HER EYES WAS FULL OF FULFILLMENT AND HAPPINESS. WITH HER WAS HIS NEPHEW, CONRESSMAN TOMASITO YACK HOLDING BERNADETTE RUDINAS YACK..

I’M NOW IN THE NEW SCENARIO. I WAS IN A FIELD WATCHING THE 2025 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF SOFTBALL GIRLS. THE TEAM FROM THE PHILIPPINES WAS NAMED MICHAELIAN GIRLS. THERE COMES SHYNE ANCELINE MENDOZA, HAVING AN UNBELIEVABLE HOME RUN. I ALSO SAW WILDY SALUTILLO ON THE FIRST BASE, MARIA NISZIEL LOPEZ ON THE SECOND BASE, AND MERCEDES LANSADO ON THE THIRD BASE.. ON THE OTHER CORNER I SAW NICEL ABACIAL, MAY ANNE ENGUIO, MARY CLAIRE YBANEZ AND SOME OTHERS STRECHTING AND MAKING PREPARATIONS. ON THE CROWD I SAW A GROUP OF ENGINEERS,THEY WERE ENGINEER RECHIE MERCADEROS, ENGINEER URSO DOLLOSO III, ENGINEER PARADERO RICKY, ENGINEER JUNMAR RETARDO, ENGINEER ARNEL GULAHAB. ENGINEER ROCK FERRAREN AND ENGINEER RONALD GRADO.

SUDDENLY THERE WAS A GREAT CHANGE. I FIND MYSELF IN CANADA ATTENDING THE MS. UNIVERSE BEAUTY PAGEANT. THIS IS GREAT!. I SAW MY BEST FRIEND STEPHANIE POTUTAN ON THE STAGE BRINGING THE NAME OF THE PHILIPPINES. ON MY SIDE I SAW, A CLOSE FRIEND FROM ALASKA DAME DEONETTE RAMAYRAT TOGETHER WITH HER SON AND HER HUSBAND, MR. JUNVIEL CANDANO, AN INVESTOR. ON MY OTHER SIDE I SAW A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, MRS. NINA CHARMAINE AGNES TY. SHE WAS OUR BB. PILIPINAS 2015. I WAS ATTRACTED BY THE LOUD VOICES GIVEN BY GENEVIVE ALOJASIN AND LIEZEL MAY FERNANDEZ, NOW RESIDING IN IRELAND. ON THE OTHER SIDE I SAW PROFESSOR JUN KARREN CAPAROSO AND HIS FAMILY.

AS I GO ON OPERATING MY DEVICE, I WAS BROUGHT ABOUT TO A HOSPITAL. IT WAS SUPERVISED BY DOCTOR SAHARA MAY LEGASPI AND DOCTOR KENNETH PEREZ WITH MICHELLE ABACIAL, NETCHIE ANOTADO AND CLAIRE DINOPOL AS THE MEDICAL ATTENDANTS. IN ANOTHER CORNER WERE NURSES MAKING CONVERSATION WITH EACH OTHER. THEY WERE REA LOU DELOSA, CYRIL HOPE SUSADA, RODITA VELONO, ANNALYN PARADERO, ARCELLE DELA CERNA, AND MARJORIE DACILLO. IN A SECOND, THEY WERE ALL PANICKING WHEN VERNESSA TAGBACAULA TIGOL WAS RUSHED INTO THE HOSPITAL BY GABRIELE KRISTOFERSON TIGOL BECAUSE SHE WAS ABOUT TO DELIVER THEIR FIRST BABY. AFTER THAT, I TOOK A WALK. AND THEN I FOUND MRS. MAGNOLIA PEARL CABARDO AND MR. JAN CHARLES CABARDO IN A ROOM HOLDING TWIN BABIES. THEY WERE VISITED BY THE ALLURING LADIES WHO ARE NOW PROMINENT BUSINESWOMEN. THEY WERE ELENLY BAGALANON, IRIS MARIE BATERNA AND MANILYN LUAB, THE FAMOUS SINGER.

I WAS ALSO BROUGHT INTO A MODELLING SHOW. THE PROGRAM WAS STARTED WITH IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM BROADWAY CENTRUM. THE PERFORMERS WERE SHERWIN HONCULADA, NEPLEX ANOTADO, JULIUS NAVAREZ, JEFFREY TOLOPIA, CATHERINE BINAURO, JUVELYN ENDOCAL AND GRETCHEN YOSORES. I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED WHEN I SAW KENNETH ALISON, JEREME BANAWAN AND RJ REY PATULADA COMING OUT POSING AS ONE OF ITS FASHION MODELS. I FOUND MYSELF SCREAMING AGAIN WHEN I SAW BOYS WHO REALLY LOOK LIKE DAO MING ZI AND HUA XE LI. BUT THE MASTERS OF CEREMONY, JUVINEL GUANCIA AND AMY ROSE TOLOPIA ANNOUNCED THAT THESE HANDSOME GUYS WERE ACTUALLY NOLYJUN LUGAGAY, DARYL SECLOT AND ELVIN BENIDA. ON THE OTHER SIDE, I SAW A GROUP OF BUSINESSMEN FRESH FROM THEIR OFFICE. THEY WERE DANILO HUMIGOP, JADE MIRONTOS, JEMAR SAQUIN, ARSENIO SALVACION. JOINING WITH THEM WERE THE GOOD-LOOKING COUPLES, ENGINEER SHERNAN YBANEZ AND JELLY ANN ACLAO YBANEZ, GEODITIC EHNGINEER MARK LOUIS MARK LOUIS BONGANCISO AND MARY ANNE DIMPASO BONGANCISO. THE EXTRA-REMARKABLE SHOW WAS DIRECTED BY NHIZA BALAGOT AND PRODUCED BY THE ATTRACTIVE XYRILE VON SEBANDAL.

FINALLY, I MET THE GUY WHO WAS BEHIND MY TIME TRAVELLING. HE WAS MR. ALFONSO MORALES JR.

THE MACHINE WAS SO HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC THAT I COULD FORESEE ME AND MY CLASSMATES ON THE PEDESTAL ENJOYING LIFE IN 2025. WITH THESE PROPHECIES, I DO HOPE FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF OUR DREAMS.
