it's just a dream, nothing but a dream!

Back on time three years ago when Benedicto College was having their career talk in our institution.  I was not that ready then to think for what course I may going to take on college because aside from not being mature when it comes to decision-making, I am not also financially equipped.  I find myself being in love to some experiments, discovering new things which is not usual.  Men have been mechanically skillful than women.  So back to the career talk, I am gaining hope because Benedicto College offers BS Chem. Engineering.  All I know then was, I like Chem. Eng'g. although I am not very in good in Chemistry subject.  I can't even balance the chemical equation perfectly.  But that's me, highly confident (lagpas ulo confidence ko teh!).


So time passed by, I have not pursued myself to take Chem. Eng'g.  I have been a tambay for a year.  I realized that, ang pagiging isang tambay ang pinaka-nakakapagod gawin sa buong buhay.  Because, aside from you are not productive, you are not gaining money for yourself.  So, I made way to be on school.  I find  a scholarship.  Actually, I did not took my application serious for the reason that the organization I was applying for a scholarship is no longer active.


My heartfelt gratitude to Facebook because I find the organization's president.  So I sent a message and interviewed.  I thank God because he has been good to me all the time.  I got accepted and given a chance to showcase my knowledge (char! haha).  I accepted the scholarship hence Education is my second choice and I will be called Sir in the near future.  Maybe I am born to be a public servant and to touch other's lives.



Unfortunately, my dream to become a Chem. Eng'g. someday is no longer can be a reality.  Maybe it's God's will and maybe he wants me to serve the public by making me a teacher someday.  But anyways, dili man managan ang mga eskwelahan, so there is a reason not to lose hope in reaching a dream.  Wala ta kahibalo, basin usa sa akong pamilya mahimong Chemist, haha pero tan-aw ko, murag wala gyud intawn.  PAETS! Good night.



Thank You DAUSA Org.  :))

Love, Give, Forgive

Have you ever think of yourself being alone in this world, no one to talk, to share feelings and thoughts.    

"No man is an island."  No one can be independent forever.

The true essence of Christmas is giving, sharing, forgiving and loving.  Christmas is about selflessness.    

Christmas is not about receiving, but giving and sharing.  It doesn't matter to what you have, but for what share.

Giving...

Much has been said, "It is better to give than to receive."  For me, giving is a true sign of selflessness.  A sign of love and care.  I do not found it hard to give as long  as you have, materialistically.  Not only material things can be given for someone, we, too can also lend up our ears when they need someone to listen.  We can give our hands and strength when they need help physically.  We can give our advice when they are in too much burden.  We can give our self  when they feel alone.  We can give our support when someone is being discriminated and degraded.   Last, we can give our love with no condition. 

We should also think that we are not alone in this world.  And by, no one can live alone.  We need someone to depend and lean on.  So give, for everything you have is only borrowed and not yours.

Loving...

LOVE - unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another. (Merriam-Websters)

How you love others is how you love yourself.  A simple qoute, but has a deep meaning and explanation.  We love ourselves, don't we?  Yes, we do.  But for me, to love is not only for ourselves, but also for the people who means a lot to us.  People not only our parents, siblings, family, girlfriends/boyfriends, crush, but also for the whole world.  The world are the people.  Love is priceless, and love is countless.  So love one another!  Love is the most unique gift someone can give.  As the song says, "give love on christmas day" but for me, not only just on Christmas but for life and forever.  So we should not give our heart a space for greed and selfishness.  Love one another as we love God above.

Forgiving...

Another thing Christmas all about is having a Peace of mind to one another.

Saying sorry is so difficult to do when we know that we really hurt the person, but forgiving is yet more difficult to do when someone makes you emotionally drained.  But when a person is thoughtful and mean all his mistakes, then to forgive is not that hard to do I think.  The world is full of different people, different personalities and principles in life.  We cannot control the minds of others.  Just be true and mean what you say.  To forgive is to love.  We should all think that life is so short to put our face a pout.  So live each day peaceful with full of smiles and forgiveness.

Celebrate Christmas day with love and Peace of mind! 

Dear Friends,




May we all have a peaceful celebration this festive season, full of smiles and hope.  And may we have another fruitful year to come. Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year to come!

Love, the amazing  Juderic Neri

Santa, I hope you here me!

A friend on Facebook posted this photo.  A Facebook status with an erroneous grammar.  I hope Santa will here him/her.  I did nothing but to laugh and laugh and laugh.  Goosebumps upon reading this line.

  

KUNG PWEDE LANG?

When the world gives me nothing to say.  Speechless, confused, toungetide, whatever!  You can read my mind upon hearing this :))

Bachelor of Science in EVERYTHING

Much has been said, "Jack of all trades, master of none."


I never thought that taking a TLE major will cover up all the skills which I am not capable.  Yes, I am not born to be a carpenter someday, but I am learning to be.  I am not born to be an electrician, but I am learning to do house wiring.  I am not born to be a "lalaking manikurista" but I did how to be because of the course requirement.  And hopefully next year, I will be learning to become a tailor.  Yes, TLE major is more on skills.

I am not in the right stand to make complaints in accordance to my major.  I have to comply and pass all the subject requirements for me to pass.  If to learn is the purpose of going school, so why complain?

CARPENTRY

Kimberly Bibera and Carla Jane Bacolod on handling the saw.

Yes, guys, gays, gals, tomboy or whatever is not exempted on doing the carpentry activities.  I find it hard to handle the hammer and the saw,  shortly, I am not capable of doing so.  In fact, it is quite enjoying!!!

Meet the sexiest woman in the carpentry shop :))

Friends, thank you :*

THANK YOU FRET :))

Ranchudas, my Pet!

Kimberly Bibera, a friend and classmate of mine shared me about Pet Society on Facebook.  An application which you can create your own and customized Pet and home.  I was wandering what is Pet Society all about.  So, I made a visit on the application and played.


Meet my Pet.  I named it Ranchu, a character from an Indian film 3 Idiots.

Ranchu's home

The pet society village is composed of, the market, furniture shop, Fishing pond, food mart, boutique, salon, stadium and cafe.  In order to earn coins, you can visit your neighbor's home to have some, and you are to choose whether you will kiss, dance, laugh and bang your neighbor. Their is also a stadium where you can play games to earn coins.  The coins received is now ready to purchase items from the market or the styling salon.

Try to play pet society and enjoy your pet upon staying the village. :)

An object that describes me as a future educator.

EDUCATION is the best wealth among all luxuries and jewels.  It is something which cannot be stolen from others.  Education for me is the most important spices in life.  As a future teacher, I am proud to say that I was not mistaken in taking up this course.  At first, I am really not into teaching or to become a teacher someday.  Once, I promise that whatever happens, I will never took up education courses.

Maybe it is god's will of what I have achieved as an education student now. I imagined that it's good to be part of someone's progress.  It's nice to think that you have been an inspiration for your students.  You have been part of their life as their mentor and what's the best is the lessons you instill that they will never ever be forgotten. 

We have a subject called "Principles of Teaching" and from the name itself, it is more on what is education really about.  Our instructor gave us an assignment of what object best describes us as a teacher in the future and ask to draw the object on a white paper.  My answer is, a candle best describes me as a future teacher.  Here is my drawing.

a candle best describes me as a future teacher

A candle because, just like it gives us light in darkness, I can be an instrument that can light up their mind through the future.  I can be their light on taking their path through success.  And with my light, I can help them lead the way for their bright future.

Education is for all.  Everybody has the freedom to be educated and is free to go schooling.  Education is not expensive if you have the guts.  As the saying goes "If there's a will, there's a way."  If you want to educate yourself, then there are millions of ways.  There is a saying "If you think education is expensive, try IGNORANCE."  

"EDUCATION is a gift that none can take away."

Doodle Art

At first, I really don't know what's with the doodle art.  I can't see the beauty of the art.  But, try to take a look at this, I find the picture more attractive than anything else.  Doodle art is done through painting in the wall or in any paper will do.  Credit to Mr. Joseph Durias, for this amazing picture.  

I find doodle art hard to do.  From the concept, the uniqueness should also be one of the concern (i think so).  It is not just a simple art, a simple drawing, but it has a story of what it is being shown.  I am inspired to learn doodle art (haha insecure lang?).  I swear, I find it nice to do.

Maghintay ka lamang

I am not the man that is fond of listening music, in fact, I am not a music lover.  But, there is one song that really inspires me to live in this chaotic world.  The song is also Charice' Pempengco's favorite song and was used to sing in a show.  What makes it inspiring is the message of the song.

Kung hindi ngayon

Ang panahon

Na para sa iyo

Huwag maiinip

Dahil ganyan

Ang buhay sa mundo

Problems are just normal for a living.  Well in fact, problem is the only thing in the world that never fades.  But we should bear in mind that problems are there for a purpose.  As my instructor said, "A problem without a solution is not a problem."  In fact, he is exactly right.  The best thing to do is to accept all those burdens because I know God is always there, and tomorrow is always countless.

Huwag mawawalan ng pag-asa

Darating din ang ligaya

Ang isipin mo'y may bukas pa

Na mayroong saya

We should not lost hope for all the burdens that stocked in us.  Hope is always in the way, not now, but maybe someday.  We should think that there is always "tomorrow" that will give us hope and will put a smile on our face.

Kabigua'y hindi hadlang upang tumakas ka

Huwag kang iiwas 'pag nabibigo

Dapat na lumaban ka

Nobody is perfect in this lying world.  Failure is not a reason to give up and to stop for the game.  Everyday is a challenge of surviving ourselves.  We should take courage to stand out, for a failure is a reason to make ourselves whole.

Ang kailangan mo'y tibay ng loob

Kung mayrong pagsubok man

Ang liwanag ay 'di magtatagal

At muling mamasdan

Ikot ng mundo ay hindi laging pighati't kasawian

Ang pangarap mo ay makakamtan

Basta't maghintay ka lamang

Courage is what we need in all the obstacles we encounter as we take our way.  The world is not always a grief and misfortune.  Dreams will be come true, and all we should do is to take action and wait.

To all who doesn't lost hope, this song is ours........


"Don't lose hope, be on your journey for tomorrow is ours."

AN AVERAGE OF 1.6

"ANG MAG-ANTOS, MA-SANTOS"

I can say that my first semester on my 2nd year in College was really a productive one.  I may not be the best among the class, but I still maintained my grades not to get an average of 2.0 (yehey).  What makes it more beautiful to think is that, I am not hoping for the higher grade.  I am just praying not to get many 2's in the card.  Lord is really good, He doesn't want me to lost my scholarship.

The scholarship demands for a general average of 2.5, and thank God, I am more on that grade.  I am not so confident to share and speak out loud my 1.6 average (haha).  Well I know, it's hard to have that grade.  It is all because of my hardwork and willingness to pass all my subject, and also my passion of becoming an educator someday.

My grade is composed of these numerical coefficient in their respective subjects........

TLE (major).....................................1.3
Computer Literacy..........................1.8
English 3.........................................1.4
Filipino 3.........................................2.5  (due to the terror instructor)
Chemistry (lecture)..........................1.7
Chemistry (laboratory).....................1.6
P.E....................................................1.4
Child Psychology..............................1.8
Teaching Professions.......................2.1 (I'm not good in Law)
Field Study.......................................1.1


I thank my ever good and beloved instructors and professors of believing my strength and capabilities.  Singot ang akoang puhunan aning gradoha (sweat was my capital for this grade).  Also, I thank DANAO ASSOCIATION U.S.A. for the scholarship grant, and also for believing me.

I thank God, my parents, DAUSA Org., my friends, classmates and to all who have been part of my college life.  Major Major thanks to you all!!!

      Curiosity brought me to find out of what really twitter is.  I was on my senior year in high school when I started to make my account.  It started up with curiosity and I never thought that I could be one of those addicts in tweeting (haha). Well at first, I really don't know what's on the twitter world.  I don't know what's the follow button for.  I encourage some of my classmates to start tweeting and be registered, but they don't like twitter unlike facebook.  They find twitter more sossy than facebook.  I ask why?  They said, It's simply because twitter is for show business. Which I said, No.

I find twitter nicer than facebook.  In fact, I can express my thoughts and feelings on twitter directly.  Unlike Facebook that you have to think first your statuses before posting it.  Facebook has many more drama than Twitter.

My twitter account has been online for almost 3 years and half.  And unfortunately, I only got 1,916 followers with 24, 162 tweets.  I can't imagine before that I am really to fast in tweeting.  Sometimes, I got over capacity because of tweeting so much and much.  If tweeting would cost lots of money, I mean if 1 tweet cost one peso, well I don't know how to get that 24,162 back (haha).  

      Well, it only started up with curiosity and ended up addiction.

Late Enrollment

1st Year

Every enrollment is always a discrimination moment for us night shift students, I really don't know why.  It happened when I was in my first year of college life.  Enrollment is going on for the new and old students.  As a scholar, I can't go on enrollment  because I don't even have my schedule yet.  It is really quite disgusting     for someone like me who spent the whole morning waiting for the schedule to be posted on the wall.

My blood was like boiling when I find out that the day shiftees are already have their schedules and were ready for validation, while we, the night shiftees were still waiting for ours to be posted.  I was starting to run my papers for validation after lunch, and guess what, I had lost my appetite because of waiting that simple thing which they made very complicated and unfair.  I really can feel the being of discrimination.  And I hate being discriminated.

Unlike other Universities and Colleges, enrollment period lasted for about two days.  Imagine that two days just for the precious signature?  

2nd Year

1st semester is far different from the last two semesters in my first year in the University.  Our final examination schedule was on the 2nd week of October.  We are expecting for an early long vacation.  Filipino subject was the last subject we took an exam.  After examination, the instructor told us about the project to be passed next week. Oh common, where is the early vacation there?  7 original pieces to be made?

After submitting the said project, of course we are expecting for the grades to be released.  Our Filipino instructor was on a seminar that's why the grades were not ready to be released.  It takes like 2 weeks to compute the grades for her.  The enrollment for 2nd semester is going on, but we can't go on enrollment because we have no grades yet.  Nov. 5 is the class opening, and we are not yet enrolled, and have no choice but to be enrolled late.  I really don't like this type of policy.  FIRST DAY SHIFT FIRST BEFORE NIGHT SHIFT!   

My favorite Park Min Young is back

PARK MIN YOUNG IS BACK!!! Yes, Park Min Young also know Kim Nana herself is back on Philippine TV via "My Secret Love"

My Secret Love (Sungkyunwan Scandal) will be airing on Philippine televisions this Oct. 29.  Kim Yoon Shik, played by Park Min Young, is a girl who disguises as a young guy so she can work and support the needs of her family.  

It is a great story of friendship, loyalty, and love set in Sungkyunkwan University during the Joseon dynasty.

Filipinos celebrate Calungsod canonization

Blessed Pedro Calungsod

MANILA, Philippines—As thousands of Filipinos descend on Rome, millions more across the Philippines are gearing up to celebrate the canonization of Blessed Pedro Calungsod in the Eternal City on Sunday.

The Catholic faithful are expected to gather in different church events in Tondo, Manila; Novaliches, Quezon City; Makati; Mandaluyong; and in Cebu to watch a live telecast of the ceremony where Pope Benedict XVI will formally raise Calungsod to the altar.

The Philippine Postal Corp. will also inaugurate a stamp at the Edsa Shrine in honor of Calungsod, the second Filipino saint after St. Lorenzo Ruiz.

According to the church website sanpedrocalungsod.com, more than 1,000 members of the youth from across Metro Manila will gather at the Sto. Niño de Tondo Parish in Manila from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday to watch the canonization.

Around 600 young people are also expected to gather at the Good Shepherd Cathedral Covered Court in Novaliches while the Federation of National Youth Organization will also celebrate the event in Makati.

Dubbed “Pedro at Ako,” the FNYO event will be held at the Savio Dome of Don Bosco Technical Institute-Makati from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Sunday.

In Cebu, the Commission on Youth of the Archdiocese and the National Shrine of St. Joseph in Mandaue City invited Catholics to watch a live telecast of the events in Rome.

The gathering, which includes a drama on the life of the second Filipino saint, talks and trivia games, will be held at the Mandaue City Cultural and Sports Complex.

Wood carvers were also reporting an increase in the demand for statues of the would-be saint, according to a report on the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines website.

“There are many orders coming from different provinces … from old and new clients,” said Kevin Cagayat. His father Justino was commissioned by the Jesuits to carve the official statue of Calungsod.

The statues–ranging from eight inches (worth P350) to four feet tall (P40,000)–are made of either resin or wood.

“Since August, high demands and orders forced us to produce around 100 statues a week since August,” Cagayat added.

“Also, in times like this when the demand is very high and there are rush orders, we also outsource workers to do the carving and finishing touches,” he added.

Meanwhile, PHLPost will unveil the special stamp in honor of Calungsod during a noontime Mass at the Edsa Shrine on Sunday.

“The single stamp design illustrates Blessed Pedro holding a Palm leaf in his left hand … his right hand at the chest signifying his deep Roman Catholic faith. On the right side is the missionary route to the Marianas Island,” PHLPost said in a statement.

The postal service said it was issuing 50,000 of the “limited edition” stamps worth P9 each. They will be available from Oct. 22 until to Oct. 20, 2013 at selected post offices nationwide.

Those interested could also call the PHLPost postage and philatelic department at 527-01-32.
