"Revolutionary MP3 Connector"

Click there to see this so called "Revolutionary Mp3 Connector" "click here"

Looks different but basically, it is just another type of splitter, wherein it splits the computer's audio output into two making it possible for you to connect two speakers. So if you want to split, just design your own REVOLUTIONARY mp3player, dvd, vcd, radio, walkman, discman, amplifier, etc.. connector/splitter depending on what you need.

Warning : Don't split too much...

My splitter looks like this...

The picture below is the Official website of my school when I was still in highschool... It has a bluish yellow green white theme... :0

You can instantly modify the name of the school by just clicking the school's name. You can also modify the black colored text appearing/disappearing below the school's name. :O

Another feature of the site is it's online registration, registration is so easy, simply download the registration form from the website, fill it up and email it back to the school. :0 I thought they have forms wherein you can input the needed info, registration form pala meron. Awww!

Nike and iPOD

iPOD and Nike puts music and sports in a new level. The two companies aims to entertain bored and low morale runners. haha! Music as motivation to go on? Not bad!



The two companies made sportswear and porta-player work as one to update and record the performance of a person who is engaged in any sports activity. After working out, simply connect your iPOD to your computer and it will automatically upload your recorded performance to nike's website wherein you can view your performance and compete with other runners. iTunes Music store will also feature recommended "sports music" that may or may not increase your performance while you work out. Another possible feature of the iPOD that is wirelessly connected to a shoe is changing the tempo of a music depending on the pace of the person. What if I'm listening to Frank Sinatra and start to run as fast as I can?

The idea for me is good except for the tempo feature.

The brandy's name is GENEROS0 BRANDY. A brandy that is specially made by the makers of Emperador Brandy for young adult drinkers.(Less alcohol content) Also, the event served as a way of thanking the people who continued to patronize Emperador.

The event featured the following artists that will surely hit the "MASA", cueshe(lol), iya villana, dennis trillo, sam milby(lol!) sarah geronimo, and jon santos and admission is free.

The REAL Canlubang Life

Matapos magalit ng tatay ko sa akin dahil sa new improved traffic scheme ng school namin....

Pumasok ako sa may basement entrance sa east side. Malapit sa room ng mga IS kids. Normally, dapat dumaan ka sa labas para makapunta ka ng stair/elevator at bawal kang dumaan sa corridor kasi nagkaklase ang mga IS kids... Simula noong dumating ang mga IS kids this year naglalagay na sila ng mga monoblock tables and chairs sa DAANAN papunta sa stairs/elevator. E di syempre di ako doon dadaan, wala ka namang dadaanan eh nakahara dun yung mga lamesa eh. Kaya ginawa ko dumaan ako sa corridor na wala masyadong IS kids. Eh may guard dun, e di syempre sinita ako ni kuya guard sabi sa akin sa susunod dun ako dumaan sa labas. Pambihira paano ako makakadaan dun eh nakabalandra yung mga lamesa nila dun at upuan. Naasar na ko, sabi ko sa guard, "Eh nakahara yung mga lamesa at upuan nyo dyan eh?! daanan pa ba yan?". Sabi nung guard, ganyan daw talaga eh! Pambihira ang gulo ng sistema nyo!

Singit ko na din ito, di ba may rule na "College students are not allowed to walk through IS corridors". Pambihira! Paano kung pupunta ka ng library, laborator, faculty room? Bababa ka pa sa basement tapos aakyat ka pa? Or di kaya aakyat ka pa tsaka ka baba? Ano ba yan?

About the elevator naman...

Paglalaruan ng IS kids yung elevator, college ang pagbibintangang naglaro...

Magkakalat sa elevator, college pagbibintangang nagkalat...

May mga drawing na stick man sa elevator, college ang nag-drowing!

Nakakainis pa lalo!

Sasakay ka galing sa basement tpos makikita mo bago sila lumabas pipindutin ng isang IS kid ang letters B and G and number 2, 3 and 4 at babayooo! Field trip na!

School Traffic @#$%!

You have to go around the school just to reach the parking lot... Nice! Canlubang is starting to become like EDSA... yeehaw!

Bahala na nga!

Summer vacation is over! Back to the classrooms! And this year... I'm a junior and a President. Ouch! I hope that I would be able to perform well to fulfill my responsibilities. Maybe, I should start recalling things that I've been doing previously in Highschool. When I was still in Highschool, I am assigned as the logistics chairman of the student council. I am in-charge on the man power, equipments, technical blah blah of the student council. Well, I hope I can still apply things I've learned there. Honestly, I'm afraid that I might not be able to do things correctly and cause trouble. Maybe I should stop thinking negatively... Bahala na! wahahahah!

Misused hardware! lol!

I've seen a lot of burned ,misused and abused computer hardwares but this is the best one I found! lol:

"Hello, I bought some RIMM here yesterday, and it didn't fit in my mainboard. I cut out the correct nodges, but then I discovered that the RIMM's don't work. Can I exchange these against some working RIMM's...."

Smart Wifi Installation

Nagbayad na kami sa smart wireless center para makapag pakabit ng smart wifi, within 3 days daw eh pupunta sila sa bahay... After 1 week dumating na yung magkakabit, nakasakay sa scooter. ANO!? SCOOTER! amf! Nasan ladder nyo? Nasa bulsa nyo? Pambihira! Eh wala kaming lader sa bahay, e di nag-ala spider man sila sa pag akyat sa matarik na bubong namin para maitayo yung antena. Pagkatapos nun, sinunod naman nilang i-configure yung computer ko para maka-connect sa internet... After 1 hour... ayaw pa din, paikot ikot na ata yung ginagawa nila eh. Kaya ito na lang ginawa nila noong hindi nila mapagana...

1. Refresh... refresh, refresh, refresh, change video settings...

Anong ginagawa mo!?

2. "Sir, disable po natin yung mga anti-virus at firewall nyo para mapagana yung net"

Disable din kita!

3. "Ilan video memory ng pc nyo sir?"

Para san?

Pinaka nakakainis... Noong wala na talaga sila magawa... at naubos na ang options nila

4. "Reformat na lng natin sir may virus ata"

amf! format ko mukha mo eh...

E di ayun sumuko na at umuwi na sila kasi 10pm na ng gabi at sabi pa e magpapadala na lng daw kinabuksan ng mas henyo sa computer.... Pero di na ako umasa na may dadating kinabukasan, himala yon! Lumipas na ang isang linggo at nagsilbing design na lang sa bubong ng bahay namin yung canopy nila.

Ayun sa wakas may dumating din na mag-aayos ng internet. Wow! may dalang truck! Hanep! Asenso! haha! E di ayun na inayos na nila, wala pa atang 30 mins tapos na. Sabi sa akin noong technical personnel na pumunta, "Sir, mali po yung ip address na nilagay nila kaya ayaw gumana, mali yung computation. Ano po itsura nung pumunta?" Ngeeee! Yari kaa! Aahahahaha!

Reality

Morning December 30, 2005 umalis kami para magliwaliw bago mag new year pero bago kami nakatuloy may inayos muna ang tatay ko at ate ko kasi may tumirik na van sa expressway so automatically towed ung van, kaya pinuntahan muna namin yun sa impounding area sa express way, after maayos lahat ng bagay, nakita ko yung pahinante/helper ng van kausap na tatay ko, suot nya punit punit at madumi na damit tpos gutom na gutom na. Maaawa ka talaga kasi sabi ng ate ko wala daw food allowance na binibigay yung may ari ng trucking na yun. Tpos sabi pa ng ate ko noong dec 27 pa sila ata nasimula magdeliver, Hala! Isipin mo na lng ikaw yun, wala kang kapera-pera, dec 27 kayo nagsimula magdeliver tpos ni piso walang binigay para pangkain tpos dec 30 na! waaah!. Halata naman na gutom na gutom na sya eh, kasi nakita ng ate at tatay ko na naghahanap ng pagkain sa tabi-tabi, tpos may nahanap sya na nalaglag na buko sa puno, e di yun ung kinain nya it really shows na gutom na gutom na gutom na sya. Waaaah! Buti na lng naisipan ng tatay ko na bumili ng food para sa kanya tpos binigyan nya ng pera pangkain kasi talagang walang wala talaga halata naman di ba? Waaaaaaaaaah! :( :( Sarap awayin nung may-ari nung trucking na yun! grrr!

The P4 Processor

On a very funny day, my friend, dennis volunteered to connect another cd-rom drive in my computer. I opened the CPU and let dennis do all the work. Unfortunately, we noticed that the heat sink and the fan of my processor is full of thick dust and we decided to clean the sink and the fan. First, I removed the fan and then the sink... "WHOA! tooooot! BAKIT SUMAMA UNG PROCESSOR SA HEAT SINK!!!" The good news is we cleaned the sink and the fan. The bad news is one of the pins of the processor is bent! waaaaaaaah! So I bent it back to its original position! hahaha! Oh my GOD! My P10000 processor!!!! WAAAAAAH!!! What we did is we went back to school and ask for help! Thanks to sir emil! My computer is working! And I am able to post this blog!

RECONDITIONED GAME

When I was still a child I really love playing with toy cars, trains, bridges,etc... and that's why I really love Tranport Tycoon Deluxe!

Transport Tycoon Deluxe is an old simulation game wherein you can build roads for your vehicles, lay railways for your trains, build airports for your planes, and ports for your ships. This game is so simple, manage your transport company, and you'll have a chance to become a "transport tycoon".

Now, OpenTTD is the same as Transport Tycoon, but it is a lot more different because the game graphics is enhanced, game AI is worth calling AI, more options, more features and OpenTTD is now online! Yeah! ONLINE! haha! You can now play with your friends via internet! hehe..

Teka inaantok pa ako hehehe but If you like to know more about OpenTTD check this site http://www.openttd.org/index.php

Prepaid Electricity

FACT YATA DI KO SURE: may prepaid electricity yata sa africa...

Naisip ko lang, sa panahon ngayon, talagang kailangang magtipid, magsipag at kailangang maging masinop tayo sa kung anong meron tayo. Kaya siguro nauso ang mga prepaid cards eh, kasi isang effective na paraan ito para makatipid ang mga pilipino. Hindi tulad ng plan na wala kang limitasyon, kaya mas malaki ang binabayaran mo di ba?

Pero naisip ko since madami na din ang prepaid tulad ng internet, online games, at telepono bakit kaya hindi pa din prepaid ang kuryente para may limitasyon tayo sa pag-gamit ng kuryente? Isipin mo nakabudget ang pag-gamit mo ng aircon panonood ng tv, atbp... e di syempre malamang e di makakatipid ka nga! hehehe...

card by : dwek

Note : hindi ito totoo! "Fiction"

Denominations :

P1000 = 6 days
P2500 = 12 days
P5000 = hmm.. 18 days?
P7500 = 24 days?
P10000 = 1 month wahaha!

*basta! di ko maisip kung magkano eh...

Conditions :

Kapag gumagamit ka ng kuryente tsaka lng nababawasan yung oras ng prepaid mo..


Di naman ako nagsa-suggest na magkaroon ng prepaid, iniisip ko lng kung magkakaroon ano kaya mga mangyayari kapag meron talaga nito sa pinas?

Situation No. 1

Nanay : "oh anak, heto 1k pambili ng prepaid na kuryente mo para sa isang buwan ha! Tipirin mo yan dahil magbabayad ka pa ng pang tuition mo at para makabawas-bawas tayo ng gastos.."
Anak : "Salamat po nanay bihira naman po ako manood ng tv dito sa dorm eh kasya na po ito"

Sitution No. 2

Lalake : "Naku konti na pala ng load ang kuryente namin, teka... makabili nga!"
(pumunta sa tindahan...)
Lalake : "Pabili nga po ng P2500 na prepaid card na kuryente..."
Tindera : "Naku, wala na kaming P2500 na prepaid card"
Lalake : "Patay mauubusan na ako ng kuryente! @#$%!"

Situation No. 3

Cellphone : "toot toot"
Daddy : "Ui may nagtext!"
Cellphone : "Hun, bili ka na ng kuryente di ako nakabili ubos na yung pinagbibilhan ko Ű love you! ingat! from : honey"

Manang : "Sige po sir!"

Madami pang posibleng situation eh dagdag ko na lng kapag may naisip ako kayo baka may naiisip kayo sabihin nyo sa akin hahaha!

ang aking master piece!! nyehahaha!

hmmmmm....

BUMP!


EVERYTHING BELOW ARE ALL PART OF MY PHILIT CLASS...

Phillit Evaluation

I remember taking scific, in our scific class we criticize science fiction movies and analyze the elements of the movies to effectively interpret the whole sense of the movie. Now, in our philit class again with Ms. Diane Siriban, we did the same we criticize the story, we analyze the relationship of events that is happening for everyone to know what is the whole point of the story. Also, because of this class, I am starting to enjoy books because in the past, I always see books as a very boring option for entertainment. I can't understand why, many people enjoy reading books, specially the thick one.I think the current philit class doesn't have weak points because I really learned a lot of things in this subject.

La Visa Loca

Ito na siguro ang pinakamagandang pinoy movie na napanood ko. Tama si Ms. Diane di talaga nakakasawang panoorin ang La Visa Loca, kahit na dalawang beses ko na napanood ang La Visa Loca, enjoy na enjoy pa din ako sa katatawa! Ang akala ko dati eh katulad ito ng mga typical na pinoy movies na pare-pareho ang flow ng story. Usually kasi kapag pinoy movie, madalas mababaw ang tema ng story yung tipong parang wala lng, tulad ng isang pamilya na lahat na lang ata ng problema ay nagkaroon sila, madalas yung style na yung bida sa una ay mahirap biglang yayaman tapos madalas para makakuha ng mga manonood eh, syempre di mawawala ang walang kakupas-kupas na bed scene at iba pa. Pero, sa movie na ito iba, pinakikita sa movie na ito ang ugaling pinoy sa isang malikhain at nakakatawang paraan na pwede nating sabihin na hindi corny at makaka-relate ang bawat pinoy. Madalas kasi kapag tungkol sa pagiging pinoy ang isang movie eh, panay daldal ang narrator hanggang sa makatulog na ang nanonood.

Tungkol nga pala kay jess husson ang movie na La Visa Loca, si jess isang taxi driver na matagal nang naghahangad na magkaroon ng "visa" para makasama nya ang kanyang girlfriend na nasa Florida at maging isang nursing aid. Ngunit, sa unang subon nya sapagkuha ng visa eh nimalas sya. Para sa akin, si jess husson (robin padilla) ay parang ang mga pilipino na nagnanais makapunta sa amerika. Imbis na gumamit ang director ng maraming tao para ipahiwatig ang kanyang mensahe, nag-focus sya kay jess na isang tipikal na pinoy.

Nakakatuwa din isipin, at nakakapagtaka bakit hindi natin naisip ang mga sinabi ng tatay ni jess na si mang sancho sa pagtawag nya sa radyo. Parang ganito and sabi ni mang sancho, bakit kapag english ang salita eh ayos lang banggitin dito sa radyotulad ng "vagina","penis"... atbp pero kapag yung katumbas na salita ng mga salitang iyon sa language natin eh parang masama kapag binabanggit tulad ng "pekpek","tite". (Walang bastos dito!) Grabe tawa ako ng tawa noong sa part ng movie na ito. Perokung iisipin mo, bakit nga ba parang masama at ikinahihiya natin kapag ganun?

Para sa akin ang pinakanakakatawang part talaga ng movie eh yung parteng may Justice! Justice! Grabe! Tawang tawa talaga ako! Maganda ang paraan ng director para ipakita ang pagganti ni Boss Nigel sa magnanakaw! Imbis na yung bugbog sarado na parang napaka-violent eh dinaan na lng sa simple pero makulit at nakakatawang pagsuntok ni boss nigel sa magnanakaw habang sinisigaw ang salitang JUSTICE! Marami ding makukulit na parte sa movie tulad ng advertising ng pop-cola, smart padala, robinson, atbp… May Malabo ding parte eh kaya medyo di nakakatawa yung pagihi ni jess at yung anak ni mara, parang ang tagal naman ng pagihi ni jess! Haha pero ok lng yun! Di naman nakasama yun sa daloy ng story.

Para sa akin maganda at iba iba ang mensahe ng movie na La Visa Loca, isa na sa nais ipahiwatig ng movie na ito eh dapat maging proud tayo na pinoy tayo di tulad ng nanay ni jess na panay ang tawag sa mga pinoy na “ischupid”. Haha! Isa pang mensahe ng movie ay ang pagpapahalaga ng mga Pilipino sa kanilang mga nimamahal dahil sa movie imbis na tumuloy si jess sa pagpunta sa Florida para maging nursing aid, mas pinili nyang huwag iwanan ang kanyang pamilya. Dapat nating ipagmalaki ang ganitong ugali, dahil sa ibang bansa eh basta basta na lang iniiwan ng mga anak ang kanilang mga magulang. Isa pang mensahe ay na dapat maging matiyaga ka para makuha mo ang isang bagay. Sa movie, nagpapako sa krus si jess para lang magkaroon siya ng visa. Kung may tyaga nga naman eh may nilaga.

Para sa akin ang storyang ito ay pwede mo ding itulad sa “The Mats”, sa the mats inaalala pa din ng ama ang mga yumao nyang anak kahit na pinpilit sya ng kanya asawa na wag nang alalahanin pa ang nakaraan parang sa La Visa Loca din yung sinabi ni mang sancho sa radio ulit, na may mga bagay sa mundo na nalalaman mong mahalaga kapag wala na sila. Nakakalungkot isipin, pero totoo di ba?

Masaya, nakakatawa, puro kalokohan pero kahit na ganoong ang La Visa Loca eh maraming magandang aral na napupulot ang mga manonood!

Crime Priests

Smaller and smaller circles is about a killer who kills because of a traumatic event happened when he was still still studying. The story shows gore, thank God the book didn't show pictures of how does the rotting body looks like in the first part of the story and how does the victims looks like after the killer scrapes off the face of the victim, removes the organs and genitals and dumps the victim in the payatas dumpsite. This is the reason why I stopped reading the book for a while because of the way the author descibed how the killer kills his victims. Well I can say that the author is succesful in describing each element of the story.

The weird thing about this story is that there are priests acting like investigators. They are Father saenz and Father Jerome. As discussed in our PHILIT class, the reason why the author used priests as investigators is to make the story "COOL". For me the story is not COOL AT ALL! Why?

First, in this story you can foresee what will happen next after a certain event happened.

Second, for me the story didn't show any sign of struggle and thrill as the Crime Priests and SOCOs try to solve the crime.

Third, it seems that the crime investigators and the priests in the story didn't have a hard time to determine who is the killer unlike other stories that they are having a conflict solving the conflict.

Fourth, the story seems like it is trying hard to be as thrilling as the other suspense novels.

Fifth, it is not normal it is normal in the filipino society to have a serial killer.

Lastly, priests solving a crime is not cool at all!

At first I thought that I will like this story because in the first part of the story the conflict of the story was succesfully defined and I as the reader was able to understand how big the problem is for the investigators unfortunately, as the story continues for me, it seems like the author starts to fail in making the readers feel the intensity of the story. The story is good but the way the author presented it for me is not effective.

Sex + Humor + Drama

Derived from the title of the story, Getting Better is like a step-by-step instructional guide for people who discovered their partner cheating. The author of the story is a filipino and a writer in a magazine, so you would expect that the story feels like you are reading a magazine that features a guide on how you will face life after breaking up with the one you love and start to get better! haha! For me, Getting Better is a combination of drama, comedy, suspense, romance and a bit of SEX to spice things up in the story. Though, it shows the western and different side of young adult filipinos, everyone in the class can easily understand and relate to what is happening in the story. Maybe, the PHILIT class enjoys stories that has SEX in it, well it's just my opinion. nyehaaha!

The story is about a woman named karen, the girlfriend of miko that will cheat later on. I think the story took place in an urban area like makati, or manila because of the atmosphere the story suggests. The characters acts like they aren't filipinos at all because most
of the time filipinos are described as conservative and simple persons. The attitude of the characters in the story is the reason why I think the author is quite influenced by western countries. Maybe it is also possible that the author is watching too much sex and violence
that's why the story shows sexual activity between a man and woman and why the story feels like it is very normal in the society to say things about *toot*, *toot* and *toot*.

I like this story, not because of sex, but because of how the author was able to establish a different way of telling a story about a person's recovery after discovering that his partner is cheating on him/her. Also, the story has a bit humor in it to balance things and prevent the story to become serious and boring. The author for me used "sex + humor + drama" as an effective style to keep the readers interested.

The Document

One of the shortest story we read in our PHILIT class is the document. This story is unique! For me... Why? Because the author uses technology like the computer as a way to express his message to his readers. One more reason why this story is so unique is because of it's setting. Everything in the story happened in front of the guy's computer. Most of the time, when I read stories, each event and scenes happens in different places. The story was written in the year 1995 wherein people are still using weird computers because people in that time are not yet interested in computers so they tend to stick to what they still have.

The document is about a guy using his computer and the .doc files saved by a girl who often uses the guy's computer whenever she wishes to use it without asking permission directly to the guy. While the guy is browsing the computer the guy finds the filename of the .doc files, strange that's why the guy started to think that the girl likes him because the filename of the .doc files suggest.

Maybe, the point of the author is that we immediately put meaning about what we see without being able to prove it first. Just like the guy in the story, the guy started to assume that the girl likes him without even making a move to prove what is the true meaning of the strange filenames of .doc files of the girl.

The Great Pretender /ho

Games

Ang istoryang ito ay tungkol sa isang mapagpanggap na babae na madalas tumawag sa isang lalake. Tuwing tatawag ang babae sa lalake ay gumagamit sya ng iba't ibang pangalan, boses at style ng pagsasalita. Ang dahilan ng pagpapanggap ng babae ay dahil sa hindi sya siguro ang tipo ng babaeng magugustuhan ng lalakeng kanyang tinatawagan kaya lagi syang nagpapanggap bilang isang babaeng matitipuhan ng isang lalake.

Kung iisipin natin hindi lamang sa mga babae natin ito maaring, maikumpara. Maari din sa mga lalake, dahil di natin maikakait na minsan ninanais tayong maging, pero kasamaangpalad ay hindi tayo naging ganoon. Para sa akin hindi maganda ang magpanggap, para sa akin napakahirap magpanggap dahil una sa lahat niloloko mo ang mga kapwa mo dahil sa umaasa sila na ganoon ka talaga at pangalawa niloloko mo na din ang sarili mo, dahil sa nabubuhay ka na nagpapanggap at hindi ka na totoo sa sarili mo.

Kung ako yung babae, magpapakatotoo ako. Kung ano talaga ako, yun ako kapag nakita ako ng natitipuhan kong lalake. Tsaka pwede ko naman sigurong akong gumawa ng paraan para magustuhan ako di ba? Bakit magpapanggap ka pa?

Forgotten Love in the Cornhusk

Sometimes people when it comes to love, defines love as a relationship where two hearts should exist, where both of them should be physically in contact with each other so that they could really have love. What I mean is, for most of us, it is so difficult to maitain a long distance relationship, specially if you you will not be communicating a lot. Maybe, today it is more easy to maintain a long distance relationship. Maybe, because of technology, we have telephones where we can our love ones anytime, cellphone where we can send a simple sms to our loved ones and there is the internet wherein there is a lot of communication options we can choose from. But in the story we discussed, there is no telephone, cellphones, etc... the typical, unreliable snail mail is their only option for a long distance communication making long-distance relationship very difficult to maintain.




The story for me is all about forgotten love. The story starts in a typical rural area wherein corns grow. In the first part of the story, Tinang, wife of inggo,the main character of the story, with his son, visits her master to ask if her master would agree to become a ninang of her baby in the its coming baptism. But before tinang leaves her master, she was asked by his master to go to the post office because she has a letter. Tinang went to the post office to pick-up the letter and after that she searched for a place where she can read the letter. She decided to read the letter when she found a place with cornhusks.

The letter she got from the post office is from her first husband, amado. In the letter, Amado told
tinang that his mother is sick, now, unfortunately dead. Also, Amado asked if tinang still has for amado in her heart. Because of this, tinang felt guilty. She felt guilty because she didn't even wait for amado and she regret losing the love started in the cornhusks.

What I can say is that, tinang is weak and impatient. Why weak? Why impatient? She is weak and impatient because of the fact that tinang fell in love with Inggo. I also find the relationship of amado and tinang, a weak one because it took tinang two years to read amado's letter. Which may mean that they aren't communicating a lot. They just let time pass by.

Pimped Mats

Para sa akin maganda ang mensahe na nais ipahiwatig sa atin ng istoryang "The Mats" ni Francisco Arcellana. Kung ating iisipin napakasimple lang ng istorya ngunit marami itong laman. Maraming mga pangyayari ang sumasalamin sa mga kaugaliang pinoy na umiiral pa din hanggang ngayon tulad ng isang ama na kada-uwi nya ay nagdidiwang ang buong pamilya. Pinakikita dito ang kaugaliang kailangang magsaya ng lahat dahil ligtas at "buong" na nakauwi ang ama at syempre kaya nagdidiwang at masaya ang lahat ay dahil tuwing uuwi ang ama ay may pasalubong ang ama, syempre masaya yun di ba? Tulad sa totoong buhay, lalo na noong bata pa tayo, kapag narinig mo na ang kotse na bumusina, bumukas ang gate at tumunog ang pinto nagkakandarapa ka nang salubungin si Mommy at Daddy para inspeksyunin ang kanilang mga dala dala at hanapin ang iyong pasalubong di ba? (Hindi ako yan ah!) Minsan malungkot kasi walang pasalubong pero ayus lang andyan naman si Mommy at Daddy di ba? (wushu!)

Balik sa istorya, naguwi ang ama ng mga "mats" o sleeping mats na ipinagawa nya sa isang mahusay na manghahabi para sa lahat ngunit may kondisyon ang ama na dapat makamit muna ng kanyang mga anak ang kanilang mithiin at makatapos sa pag-aaral bago nila magamit ang kani-kanilang mga mats. Pinakikita sa pangyayaring ito na napakaimportante para sa isang magulang ang pagtatapos ng isang anak sa kanyang pag-aaral. Para sa isang magulang, ito na marahil ang pinakamahal na kayamanan na maibibigay ng magulang, di tulad ng pera na nauubos, di tulad ng mga ari-arian na nawawala, para sa kanila ang edukasyon ay parang mga pakpak na makakatulong para sa kanilang mga anak na abutin ang kanilang mga pangarap kahit na wala na sila.

Sa huling parte ng istorya, para sa akin ang pinakaimportanteng bahagi ng istorya, kasi matapos ibigay ng ama ang kaniyang pasalubong sa kanyang mga anak, nagtaka ang kanyang mga anak kung bakit may natira pang mga mat/sleeping mats na ikinagalit ng ama, dahil ang mga mats na natira ay para sa mga anak nyang yumao na. Para sa akin, nais ipahiwatig ng ama na kahit wala na hindi na nabubuhay ang kanyang mga anak na iyon para sa kanya, buhay pa din sila at di dapat sila kinalilimutan kahit na masakit alalahanin. Sa iba't ibang mga bagay din siguro, di lamang sa mga yumao, sa mga tao na may mga mabuting nagawa sa atin dati dapat alalahanin natin sila. Kaya di ako naniniwala sa kasabihang "past is past" eh. Tama nga talaga ang kasabihang, dapat lumingon ka sa pinanggalingan mo para makarating ka sa paroroonan mo.

dwek as a Filipino

My name is Dwight Herrera, and my friends often call me dwek, dweky or dwitee. I don't know who started to call me dwek, what I know is that the person is a member of a choir. I am a Computer Science student at De La Salle University Canlubang and my course tells that I really enjoy technology though I do not know much about it. I like knowing facts about computing and cool stuff that is currently happening in our society. I regularly check the mall for new devices (I only check, them, no money for me to buy them) for me to see what is the latest in the tech market today. I spend most of my time in front of my computer when I have the opportunity specially when I am on vacation or just hanging around because I enjoy working with a computer, I do not know why, but I think it would be hard if I don't have one. Aside from technology and computers, I also enjoy funny things that I can see in movies, shows, pictures, stories and anything that can make me laugh as hard as I can. Hahahahha! I am really a happy person, but sometimes people tell me that I look serious or "suplado!” Hahaha! I don't know why, but that is what they always tell me. Maybe, I'm used to have that look in my face always. Maybe, the hot weather is making me look serious, because I really find the Philippines as a hot weathered country. But even though it's hot, I still like it here in the Philippines cause unlike other countries specially western countries, sometimes those countries experience severe weather conditions.(tornados...etc) Another reason why I like my beloved country is the fact that most Filipinos face their problems with a smile. You won't succeed provoking a Filipino to run around screaming because of problem/s. You often see Filipinos thinking of a way to solve their problems. I also find Filipinos creative, one example is the prepaid card and the latest e-load. Since it is expensive to subscribe to plans, they created a new way to enjoy communicating without worrying to much on having expensive bills. This is the reason why, the Philippines is named as the texting capital of the World. Cool! haha! There's so many reason why I like the Philippines, but the creativity and happiness of the Filipino for me is a very unique trait of Filipinos among others. I am a Filipino, therefore i might be a creative and a happy person, and I'm proud.
