After 10 years.......

The truth is that I still do not see myself ten years from now. I am still wondering what would be my life after those years. I am still confused of what course to take up in college. Ever since I was in elementary, I really wanted to be a successful teacher because I really wanted to teach little children. As I entered high school, that want suddenly vanished. After wanting of being a teacher, I wanted to be an engineer because that is the dream of my mom and also because of the high salary. But I don’t think that I could stand the mechanical plates. How about being an architect? Yes, I would also want to be an architect but we cannot afford the tuition because architecture is quite expensive. I just came from a middle class family and me and my siblings are into school. My sister took up BA Psychology in the University of the Philippines Cebu. She told me that psychology is fun but somehow difficult and they have lots of research papers. I definitely hate those stuffs. My friends also told me that if I would take up psychology, I would be the first one to be insane. Nest in line, Nurse? Actually, I never considered nursing as my profession because I really don’t like to be a nurse. My best friends are all taking up nursing but that does not change my decision. Many of the students in the Philippines are taking up this course and that is because they want to earn dollars. Who doesn’t want to? I myself want to go abroad and earn dollars but not by being a nurse. They are too many and the demand for nurses abroad is starting to become low and I think everyone would have that opportunity of going out of the country.
A week ago, the results of the UPCAT or the University of the Philippines College Entrance Test and I was lucky to pass. I passed Business Management in the University of the Philippines Tacloban Campus. BM was my first choice when I took up UPCAT because my sister told me that is quite an easy course compare to all other courses in UP. My mother wants me to take up college in UP because she wants me to have a UP diploma. I would also want to have it because having one is something to be proud of. When you have that, work will be easy to find. But TOFI or the Tuition and Other Fees Increase was already approve which means it will be already expensive to study in UP. From two hundred per unit, now its already six hundred per unit. That’s about three hundred percent increase. Oh, where would I take up college? It’s becoming a headache already but one thing would be sure, that I would a successful person after ten years. I am already sleepy. So guys thanks for reading my blog and good night.

The problem with men and women is that......

The problem with men is that they seldom cry. Through the years, men were viewed to be strong, cunning, and brave. All these time, these men have been living in this stereotypical society that demands so much from them. Perhaps this is the reason why they were not able to live a life that is free from judgments and criticisms; a life they could live by just being themselves. These men behind their muscular built puts up a front showing the whole world that they are strong and brave and that they are of total control to everything. Even in times when they are down and helpless, they still pretend to be calm and strong. This is because they are afraid to show their emotional side and what they truly feel deep within with the fear of being labeled as weak and coward. It seems like the act of crying is a taboo. Still, no one can blame them for it is the society itself that has molded them.

“Boys don’t cry.” That is what people say. But don’t you find it unfair? In the real sense of crying, it is not really a girl thing at all. Crying per se has its own biological basis. Crying is part of human nature. It is a normal thing to cry. It is basically there for survival purposes but with the society we live in, the real sense of crying has been corrupted. What these men should understand is that crying is something not to be ashamed of. I appreciate those men who cry. Once in a while, they also need to cry and pour out all those emotions because crying is indeed healthy for it allows a person to be free of stress, of anxiety, and somehow it makes us feel relieved.

The problem with women is that they are always viewed inferior to men. Women are viewed weak, coward, and somehow helpless. I thought we already surpassed that state of gender inequality but look at who are on top of all those big companies right now. Henry Sy, Lucio Tan, the Ayala’s? They are men.

This all started during the Spanish colonial era when the rights of women were abused. They think that women should stay in the house and take care of the children, cook, and everything. Aren’t they insane? I mean we have equal rights and capabilities.
Women are not weak! They are just emotional but at least they are able to express effectively not like men. Women can do what men can so why put a barrier between these two sexes?

I also think that the problem with women is that they are very unpredictable. Sometimes they are timid but sometimes they become wild. Sometimes quite but sometimes talkative. I heard many boys complain that girls are unpredictable and moody. That’s true. I myself would say that women are unpredictable. I also don’t know why.

Anyways, that’s all that I can say and thanks for reading my blog.

Sinulog fever

It was a sunny day; I was awaken by the loud voice of my sister telling me to get up. It was the feast day of Sr. Sto. Nino and we will attend the second mass. I rushed into the bathroom and took a bath. After bathing, I immediately dressed myself and took breakfast. When we were all ready to go, I locked the doors and the windows of our house. There were a lot of people who attended the mass. We could hardly get inside the church because of the huge number of devotees. There was pushing and pulling towards the entrance of the church but at last we got in.

After the mass, there was again pushing and pulling but now, it was towards the exit. It took us a long time to get out. When we arrived home, I was asked to buy something in the mall and so I brought my sister with me. We bought something to eat. There were lots of people in the streets and there were lots of vendors. When we got home, I was surprised to see Shydel sitting in our sofa. She invited me to have lunch in their house. We first fetched Kimberly and then off we go.

After eating, we filled three bottles of water for us to bring. We decided to go to Robinsons and so we started to walk. There were lots of people along the streets and we stopped over to watch the dancing contingents. After awhile, we continued walking towards San Carlos University. We could hardly pass because we were blocked by a number of people. We realized that Robinsons was on the other side and we cannot cross the streets so we went back from where we started and we were able to cross the street. There was sweating all over our bodies. We walked along Jones Avenue and we saw the other contingents. We stopped over a stall of wallets and we bought for each one of us. At last we reached Robinsons but we did not get in immediately because we were still sweating. The crowd grew wild and we went to see what’s happening. It was Angel Locsin. She was so pretty in personal. After that, we went inside Robinsons and we had window shopping. We grew tired and so we squat ourselves on the floor to rest. When we had enough rest we went out of the mall. We saw April, our classmate. She was left by her brother and so she went with us. We again walked along Jones Avenue and the crowd began to scream because the Kapuso stars passed. We were star strucked by their beauties. There was Patrick, Nadine, Jennylyn, Bakekang, Budoy, Sheryl and many other stars. We then continued walking and we decided to go home because we were already tired and it was beginning to dim.

For me, it was the best Sinulog I had ever experienced. I really enjoyed a lot.

Friends 4 lyf

If you would ask me who occupies the biggest space in my heart, I would proudly say that my bf’s do. BF’s, short for best friends. These people have greatly influenced my life. They are the best thing that ever happened to me and I consider them one of the most important treasures in my life. They are not worth millions, they are priceless. If I were to describe them, I would say that ‘Nothing compares.”

They have been with me all the time, in laughter and in tears. They were with me through the rain, the storm, and the typhoons of my life. I always count on them especially in times of trouble and sadness. They always have shoulders ready for me to cry on. I also have shoulders for them to cry on. It’s a mutual relationship between us.

We have shared lots of moments together, moments of happiness, sadness and everything. I always cherish the times when we laugh and cry together.

We have different personalities but as time passed by we have learned to adjust to each other. Sometimes, we quarrel but that only makes our friendship stronger. The world may turn its back against me but I’m sure never will they. I can’t afford to lose them. I would rather lose a boyfriend than lose them.

My tears are already falling as of the moment because every time I share things like this, I can’t help but cry. I don’t know why. Graduation is fast approaching which means that we only have less time to be together. I will indeed miss them so much because aside from my family, they are also my reason for continuing life. They taught me to be stronger and molded me into a better person. I am nothing without them.

Other people may have all the riches but I don’t care at all. Money can’t but true people like them anyway. What will I do with money if I would be lonely? I’d rather be a pauper with lots of friends than a multi-millionaire with maids.

Imagine life without friends, wouldn’t it be so lonely? Would you enjoy life? Would you feel contentment? The answer is a definitely NO. I have not known of anybody so happy being alone. I’d rather die than be alone in this chaotic world and carry all the worldly problems by myself.

Every time I share my problems to them, I feel so relieved. They always give me comfort anyone can’t give.

] Family is a different thing. I can’t choose between my friends and them because both are of same importance to me. There are things that you can share to your family and not with your friends. There are also things that you can share with your friends and not with your family. They have the same value.

If time comes for us to walk on different paths, they will always have that special place in my heart and nothing or no one could replace them.
