Do you believe in me? Are you proud of me? What am I to you?<br />
<br />
Oh I feel so low. I don't know if this feeling is valid. Do I have the right to feel this?<br />
<br />
When we are in love, we would do everything for it. Even if it hurts us so badly. And even if we sacrifice something or someone for it.<br />
<br />
Will you fight for your love? Or will you just let it go and let it disappear in the air?<br />
<br />
I have no one to talk to now and I can't even admit to her that I am hurting so much. I feel so alone.<br />

I have plans with her but I feel like she doesn't like the idea that I have. I don't know. I feel so small.<br />

Why do I have this feeling that she doesn't love me like the other guy? Why do I feel like she pleases him more than me? Why am I feeling this way?<br />

Why?<br />

Oh why...<br />
<br />
Do you really want me in your life? Or do you want me to go? Am I just a friend?<br />

Hello it's been awhile.<br />
<br />
Eight months of ups & downs but I never regret a thing. I still thank God that somehow He gave me the best girl I deserved. Even though this girl really needs patience and understanding. I am thanking Him because this teaches me how to empathize and this gives me more patience that she badly needs. I prayed for someone like her and I know that God did include the lessons I need in His gift. <br />
<br />
When you truly love someone, you would do everything just keep the love alive. You would accept all including those things that are hard to swallow. That's true love and if you really want to make this relationship work, these things should not be a problem.<br />
<br />
I will prove to God that I am worth receiving the gift that He gave me. I will do my best just to save this hot to handle love affair. I wont stop praying because the Bible says that we should not stop praying. There is hope through prayer.<br />
<br />
I feel so down now but I have to deal with this because I care for her and I really love her. And I do hope that when these all pass, she'll be ready for us. I know, this too shall pass.<br />
<br />
I strongly believe that we are made for each other... I am sure. I will always be her KNIGHT.<br />

I can't sleep.. again?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You probably could remember in my previous post that I love working in the the wee hours of the morning, right? Yes, I am an owl and sometimes I still able to do that. But there was a time that this was changed.. that's when someone came into my life after so many years of feeling lonely. My friends even noticed the big change in me. One of the reasons why I love working at these times is because I can listen to the calmness of the night without being interrupted. This helps me think and do more but this kind of strategy takes toll on my health so I decided to change it and someone is/was monitoring my sleeping habit. But where is she now? She's just around... she's probably just not the same anymore? The one who tells me to "sleep or else...."</div>

I can feel it... can't I?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When someone tells you not to put him/her as your priority that only tells you one thing... that person wants the same in return. Can you? After giving your all? Sometimes, putting your hope in a person feels really great especially when it's being shared and reciprocated... both of you are feeling the same feeling. It's like being in the best part of a romantic movie and all you want to do is to press pause and just stare at it. But what happens when this is no longer the case? Would you just let go? And let the nature do its thing? It's like letting the caterpillar make its own cocoon and let it turn to a beautiful butterfly and just let it die? I dunno.. I really don't know.</div>

Afraid... am I?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We all had our shares of our little night time stories that we loved to listen to. Stories that would make us feel scared and we cover our body with quilt to comfort ourselves and not letting the bedbugs bite. So what am I scared of? Simple... scared of being left behind... and be alone. I feel like a small child sometimes. What can you do if no one is planning to stay with you? What would you do if the person you thought would be there for you is no longer there for you... physically? ... emotionally? Oh there's so much questions and doubts roaming my ceiling tonight.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">So many questions but the answers are so few, a line from Side A's song. But I suddenly realized that the answers to our questions are openly being served and offered in the Bible. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: "trebuchet" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #001320; font-family: "trebuchet" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div>
Putting our trust and hopes in other people will surely disappoint us, especially when we expect too much? Being so attached to someone you love brings so much joy but we should not forget that everything in this world is temporal. We should always look at the eternal side of our life.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: "trebuchet" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in humans. Psalm 118:8</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you feel down and alone, don't forget that Someone is there for us. He will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6 ) So is still there a reason to be afraid?<br />
<br />
Ask God's help. If you can't sleep, if you are afraid and feeling all alone, then run to Him because He wont disappoint you. Pray for your heart too... that He will guide your heart and let it beat for the right one. Pray for that one. Keep that person in your prayers because God sees your heart and your future and He knows what's best for both of you.<br />
<br />
The best thing to do is to serve Him and He will make your path straight. In everything, we should put God first and we will never be last. Everything will follow if we do this first.<br />

I think that is the question that we all need to answer. Right now if you would ask me that question, I honestly don't know what to say. Probably I'd ask you, what kind of love are you talking about?<br />
<br />
Is it a real love? Or just an infatuation? <br />
<br />
I remember when I was a little, I was in grade 4 to be exact, I had a huge crush on someone and I consider her as my first love. Her name is Michelle G. She's tall, slim, pretty, just exactly the way I want my first girl to be. That feeling kept on growing until we finally met in our school... in highschool. See how long I had kept that feeling? Six years! Well, I was one of the "torpes" in the crowd so I apologize for that. I dunno why good looking guys are usually the ones that are too shy to say hi. My aunt even gave me a green shirt with a print on it that says, "Ako'y pogi na walang syota." (I am good looking but has no girlfriend.)<br />
<br />
Oh what a memory! I am sorry for always lifting my own chair.. can you forgive me? This is my blog anyway.<br />
<br />
So going back, if only I could turn back time I would probably change it all. I wish I was more attractive? Of course not. I wish I was more confident but I can't. Imagine I had my first girlfriend when I was 21. But things didn't work out right (you need to read the old posts here to learn more). That was the reason why I became playful and promiscuous and I am not proud of it. Again, if only I could turn back time.<br />
<br />
It's been years since my last relationship and <b><a href="https://diskorner.blogspot.com/2016/06/hello-its-been-awhile.html">just recently someone came</a></b>. Hallelujah! I thought she was the one I have been waiting for and I thought she was serious about her words...<br />
<br />
I thought wrong. I felt like I was just being played. Too bad for being a player back in his heyday.<br />
<br />
I know I still have these ladies around wanting to get near. I even caught someone using Twitter as her diary and she keeps on tweeting saying "I miss you" <strike>but man... she's not my type. I am sorry. It's just wont work. I don't want to force myself to like someone because of pity? That's not love... that's like eating a spoiled food for god's sake. </strike><br />
<br />
So this girl who I thought was real was just one of the earrings being sold on the sidewalk. I don't know why she did this to me. I was about to tell her something but something stopped me from doing it. This social media is just killing me. I wish I didn't and I wish she didn't... (you can finish the sentence if you like).<br />
<br />
When a girl says goodbye when you are about to say hi... that's terrible. I think I need to grab a microphone and start singing my heart out like there's no tomorrow to stop this thing that creeps inside my head. Well I am a good singer, my friends say that. Could you give a listen?<br />

I made this when I was working in an audio production company. By the way, rest in peace to the person behind this song called Your Love, his name is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gary.buena.ignacio" target="_blank">Gary Ignacio</a> of Alamid. We had a chitchat once on Facebook months before he kicked the bucket.<br />
<br />
Everything dies in this world, including the feelings that you thought was real. But there is One true love that is being offered to all of us, and that's the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. That love will never die and it will forever stay. I know... it hurts when you fail but His love will prevail.<br />

(7/8/15)<br />
<br />
I went to see my doctor this afternoon and thankfully the lab results were looking good. Somehow it made me feel happy and that was something to be very thankful for. <a href="http://diskorner.blogspot.com/2014/03/test-of-faith.html" target="_blank">If you saw me before</a>, you'd know what I mean. So thank you Lord! I think I am inspired by someone. ;-)<br />
<br />
But frankly, I am always feeling down because there's something in me that makes me feel that way. Something that will probably stay for good. So I decided to treat myself... <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpXXmO6NfdOUPHFOSmuZyPtdWiVx-U8rRYBkQ-7Kj0zVaxi0On572ilEBtjgVLgmrnpaQt1ASMrn9K3fl0swcBQmcOdFztqhqslDJ0cndiQFmRbL5GluqMb1brs6p3TILx0knwp9T8tSc/s1600/CKOne.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpXXmO6NfdOUPHFOSmuZyPtdWiVx-U8rRYBkQ-7Kj0zVaxi0On572ilEBtjgVLgmrnpaQt1ASMrn9K3fl0swcBQmcOdFztqhqslDJ0cndiQFmRbL5GluqMb1brs6p3TILx0knwp9T8tSc/s320/CKOne.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Back in 1996, my sister gave me a bottle of high quality perfume called CK One created by Calvin Klein. It was popular back then and I think it was released in 1994. I was 15 years old and was in highschool when she gave me that gift. My girl friends love the scent of it and they said it definitely made them want to have me near them all the time.<br />
<br />
Hmm I wonder what my future girl will tell me... but where is she? I know! She's on my wallpaper.<br />
<br />
Now fast forward, just this afternoon after 19 years... since I am somehow now capable of buying something valuable (depending on my budget and mood), I bought one for myself. It's a 70 USD perfume and that's quite pricey for me... I am telling you it really is! But the moment I breathed in the scent, I felt like being taken back to the past and<span style="color: #6a6a6a; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><b> </b></span></span>I went back to my highschool moments.<br />
<br />
It also reminded me of <a href="http://diskorner.blogspot.com/2010/09/remembering-my-sister.html" target="_blank">my sister</a> and honestly that was the main reason why I bought this toilet water. I want her to always be fresh in my mind. Now I feel like she's with me whenever I wear it.<br />
<br />
Oh I miss you sister!<br />
<br />
There are things in life you can never get back but there are small things in this world that will help you remember the things you want to look back on to. I believe that when the past taps on your shoulder, it's not bad to look back. Smell the scent of the past once in awhile 'cos that will refresh your mind and it will help you know exactly where you should be heading to. And that I think will excite you more to meet the future.<br />

Facebook is the number one social media network in the world today. With a whooping 1.3 Billion members and 864 million daily active users on average as of September 2014. Well 30 million of these are no longer living including <a href="http://diskorner.blogspot.com/2010/09/remembering-my-sister.html" target="_blank">my lovely sister</a> and 8.7% of them a fake accounts. So these are just some of the facts about Facebook.<br />
<br />
I posted a Facebook tip awhile ago telling my friends to open their Other folder and I told them that they should check on it and they'll surely be surprised.<br />
<br />
What is an Other folder? Your Other folder is where you'll find messages that have been filtered out of your inbox. Messages from people you're not friends with on Facebook.<br />

For messages, what's the difference between Basic and Strict Filtering?</div>
<div class="_if" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.9939994812012px; margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<div class="_3p8" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
You can change your message filtering preferences right from your inbox. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/116215745206219" target="_blank">Learn how</a>.</div>
<div class="_3p8" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<b>Basic Filtering</b></div>
<div class="_3p8" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
If you select Basic Filtering, you'll see mostly messages from friends and people you may know (ex: friends of friends) in your inbox. Typically, messages from other people will go to your <a href="https://www.facebook.com/help/188872764494245" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3b5998;"><span style="cursor: pointer;">Other folder</span></span></a>, and you won't receive a notification about them.</div>
<div class="_3p8" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<b>Strict Filtering</b></div>
<div class="_3p8" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
If you select Strict Filtering, you'll see mostly messages from friends in your inbox. Some messages from people you want to hear from may go to your Other folder.</div>
<div class="_3p8" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Whichever filter you choose, you may sometimes get messages in your inbox from people you're not connected to. Some examples of when these messages may go to your inbox are:</div>
<ul class="uiList _341 _3p7 _4of _4kg" style="color: #3b5998; list-style-type: square; margin: 1.25em 2.4em; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border-width: 0px; padding: 0.35em 0px;"><div class="fcb" style="color: #333333;">
A friend of a friend includes you in a message along with some of your mutual friends</div>
</li>
<li style="border-width: 1px 0px 0px; padding: 0.35em 0px;"><div class="fcb" style="color: #333333;">
A member of a group you're in messages you or includes you in a message</div>
</li>
<li style="border-width: 1px 0px 0px; padding: 0.35em 0px;"><div class="fcb" style="color: #333333;">
A friend who isn't on Facebook uses your contact info to send you a message from the Messenger app</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="_3p8" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Additionally, someone you're not connected to on Facebook may pay to ensure their message is routed to your inbox instead of your Other folder.</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, aren't you curious of what you might see in your Other folder? Check it out now. Make sure that you are on a desktop or laptop because this isn't showing when you're on a mobile application. Good luck and enjoy!</span></div>

<b style="text-align: left;">So what is crab mentality?</b><span style="text-align: left;"> Wikipedia says:</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20.3636360168457px;">Crab mentality, sometimes referred to as crabs in the bucket, is a phrase that describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase "<b>If I can't have it, neither can you</b>." The metaphor refers to a pot of crabs. Individually, the crabs could easily escape from the pot, but instead, they grab at each other in a useless "king of the hill" competition which prevents any from escaping and ensures their collective demise. The analogy in human behavior is that members of a group will attempt to "pull down" (negate or diminish the importance of) any member who achieves success beyond the others, out of envy, conspiracy or competitive feelings.</span></blockquote>

Just recently I got into this situation again. I remember the first time I experienced this when I was working as radio disc jockey and the second when I was training in an <a href="http://diskorner.blogspot.com/2012/01/browbeat.html" target="_blank">audio post production company</a>. I am not going to retell everything about it here but if you want you can just click on the link.</div>

I think I am being followed by these crabs wherever I go hahaha!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am currently working as a freelancer and I am home-based. I am an audio editor (a podcast editor to be specific) and my clients are from UK, US, CAN, and AUS. To promote my business, I created a <a href="http://podcasteditor.weebly.com/" target="_blank">website</a> and posted some videos on Youtube to advertise my podcast editing and managing services. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just last night I discovered that two of my videos got eight dislikes (four dislikes each). So I got curious and decided to check the analytics of my videos. Guess what I have found, I found a crab! LOL </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I got more curious and dug some more 'cos the dislikes were made on the same date. I thought there were four crabs who hated me but I was wrong. Well probably I am wrong but it is very unlikely that four people would dislike two videos at the same time. Although that is not impossible because according to the data, on November 30, I got 14 views but to me that's very </span>improbable. Here's my theory: this crab has four Youtube accounts and he disliked my videos one at a time. <span style="text-align: justify;"> </span></div>

I never disliked a video and when I see video that I don't like I just click off. I can't see that somebody who would take the time to dislike a video and disliking a video FOUR times! This person probably has a psychological problem. LOL </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't really care if someone dislikes my video but disliking it just to attack my rating is crazy. Plus the one who disliked it was from my own country. Tsk tsk that's something not to be proud of. Whew! :) My father told me that it is common to Filipinos. So if you're a Filipino, beware of your countrymen. Better make friends with a foreigner especially when you work abroad. Traidor iba diyan! (Some of them are traitors!) </div>

Well anyway, that's fine with me because I am used to be envied. An article says that when you're being envied that means you're being noticed 'cos you're hot. Gees, so that means to say I am really hot! "Oh yeaahh!" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

It is really frustrating when you cannot find the right steps online. I know how it feels because I've been through that. Luckily, I was able to discover it myself. So this time, I would like to share these steps to anyone who's trying to verify his website using Bing webmaster tool. I am using iPage as my web host server and my website is <a href="http://www.licensureexaminationforteachers.com/" target="_blank">http://www.licensureexaminationforteachers.com </a><br />
<br />
This article only shows the steps for Option 1 of the webmaster tool. Please see the screenshots below. This article assumes that you already have submitted your URL (website) to Bing. Now here are the steps on how to verify it:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-f2LVNpXJzWbzqpZGTt7HfK-oSWpgimw6XS601Wmv8NE4soMpmuV9fuYJ97vIIWSdnVkxadJzYNA1Mvzdpo5uVormUo_9nfg3JuoBm9yIWUbCaqIy6_AljaC7qYO6IYxVJU4av6QsDO8/s1600/BING+verification1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-f2LVNpXJzWbzqpZGTt7HfK-oSWpgimw6XS601Wmv8NE4soMpmuV9fuYJ97vIIWSdnVkxadJzYNA1Mvzdpo5uVormUo_9nfg3JuoBm9yIWUbCaqIy6_AljaC7qYO6IYxVJU4av6QsDO8/s1600/BING+verification1.jpg" height="291" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
When you're done downloading the BingSiteAuth XML file, go to your downloads folder. Please make sure you know where you are downloading the file. Downloads folder is the default folder.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZExfTBr2nOP1hngNnvtMvCueKUFTylfxYu5Hw_5Ri62AiSu_8OhJ17iAxWF7XxUl_5pmxBBtta2F31SoBWuTpK1XqHbKCMpSSS9c08V4eMW-gLVzl22S6mjVGWb7Y16t_2xYwEJHkXaE/s1600/BING+verification2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZExfTBr2nOP1hngNnvtMvCueKUFTylfxYu5Hw_5Ri62AiSu_8OhJ17iAxWF7XxUl_5pmxBBtta2F31SoBWuTpK1XqHbKCMpSSS9c08V4eMW-gLVzl22S6mjVGWb7Y16t_2xYwEJHkXaE/s1600/BING+verification2.jpg" height="326" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, log-in to your iPage server (or whatever server you are using). Just make sure that you'll find the correct folder where you will upload the BingSiteAuth XML file.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Night time. I see the stars, night-time
lights, flowing river, flying owl and I hear snores, the sound of the crickets,
and passing trucks from afar.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Staying up all night is the best
thing for me. I love the calmness of it and the breath of fresh air is soothing. Why do
I love this moment? Well, I have been like this for almost a decade now. I started
working in a call center in 2005 and since then I became very captivated by the
night. As I always say, I am Asian but my body clock is Western. But this
actually started years back before I got involved in that industry. I remember
in 2002, I was handling a nightly show from nine until twelve midnight in a
radio station. So, staying awake late at night is not a new thing for me. My
family is always worried about my characteristic of being nocturnal and that
includes my ex-girlfriend a long time ago. And I believe that was the only reason
why she left because I always woke up at almost lunch time. She said that only
those people who are born tired do that kind of thing. She equated staying
active at night to tiredness in a very degrading way. Oh well, she just couldn't understand my body
clock. That’s fine with me and honestly I want a broad-minded girlfriend
anyway.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Graveyard shift is what we call
it. It’s 2:30 am and right at this moment half of the world is awake! So being
active at night in our time zone doesn’t mean that we cannot make a living.
I just recently considered being an entrepreneur (I have my own <a href="https://www.facebook.com/gotoron" target="_blank">gotohan</a>) and a freelancer.
Right now I have accounts in several sites that offer jobs to people like me. I
am referring to Odesk, Elance and the like.
I have friends in these sites working as virtual assistants and
they are all doing well. If you think you have the skills to offer, like me I am
offering my skill as an audio editor, all you need to do is to get a desktop or a
laptop and a <i>reliable</i> Internet
connection. I highlighted the word reliable because most of the internet
service providers now are very undependable. If you choose a wired connection
like Bayantel, better prepare yourself for a constant pain because they just
don’t do well. PLDT is still not available in our town so I have no choice. Just
always have yourself a backup connection like Smartbro or Globe Tattoo.
This is the kind of connection here in our country, so erratic and slow. Thanks
to Senator Bam Aquino for putting this case on the limelight. He said that
according to a survey the Philippines has the slowest and the most expensive
internet connection in South East Asia.</div>

Well, what would you expect
from a third world country like this. Only the Chinese capitalists are making
lots of money here. Of course we should not forget the crocs in the government
and politics like the Senate and the Congress. Plus the heads of some of the
religious groups who constantly deceive their followers and claim to be the right way to
heaven. I won’t mention their groups here because they might sue me and throw
me in the lake of fire. You see them on television anyway because they have
their own channels ;-) By the way I am not an atheist, I am a Christian.<o:p></o:p></div>

of patience since getting started as a freelancer is not easy. You need to prove to the clients your capability. Making a very good cover letter is the key here. Showcase
all your skills on your profile or better yet make a website that shows your
previous projects. Like what I did using Weebly, check it out <a href="http://lowcostaudioediting.weebly.com/clients.html" target="_blank">here</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>

I live in a third world country
and opportunities here are not sufficient. I have the skills but I am not
worried because there are people living in first class countries like the US, Canada, Australia, and UK who are willing to share their work and pay! Why? Probably because they're too occupied or maybe they are too tired or perhaps they can’t do it for themselves because they just cannot do it for some reasons or maybe they don’t know how to do it. I call it globalization for
share. Just imagine there are some students out there looking for someone to
prepare their homework for them and they are so willing to pay for five to ten
dollars. And most of their choices are from India and the Philippines. Why?
Because we are so brilliant and hardworking and the fact that we need something
to put on our table the next morning. Funny isn’t it? Outsourcing college
education? I am making a nice laugh right now. I am a college graduate and
who would have thought that education can be outsourced now. I am telling you making
money online is easy as long as you have the skills. Thanks to the Internet!<br />

Just wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for all your prayers and support. It's truly amazing how powerful prayer can be, and I've experienced a real miracle recently. I want to extend my thanks to those unexpected sources of generosity that helped my family and me through this challenging time – providing financial support for hospital bills and medications. Your kindness has left me truly delighted.<br /><br />So, here's a quick update on what's been happening. I was admitted to the hospital on Feb 12 because of some serious health issues, including blood in my stool. Little did I know that it would lead to a stay of more than 3 weeks! The journey has been emotionally draining, but I'm holding on. Prior to the hospitalization, I'd been grappling with abdominal pain, especially after meals and while lying down. My abdomen was swelling, prompting an ultrasound. This led to a catheter, a CT scan, and then a consultation with another expert. Eventually, I got the news that surgery was necessary, but my weakened immune system made it a concern.<br /><br />However, on Feb 22 at 11:30 pm, something incredible happened. The abscess that had been causing so much trouble found its way out through my navel. It was nerve-wracking at first, but I collected nearly 3 liters of it over a 5-hour period. My mom was understandably emotional, but I assured her that this was the answer to my prayers. "Ma, this is it," I told her, "this is what I've been asking for. He's already answered."<br /><br />Currently, my recovery continues. My tummy still gives me some discomfort, so I occasionally take Omeprazole and pain relievers. I'm cautious not to rely on them too much, using them only when the pain becomes unbearable. I'm now resting in my mother's room, mostly sleeping and waiting for the next check-up. I'm concerned about the abscess returning, and my last antibiotic dose was a couple of days ago. I'm eagerly waiting for my doctor's guidance on the necessary medication moving forward. On top of that, I've been dealing with lung issues and just finished a two-month medication regimen. The upcoming X-ray will tell us more about my lung's progress, as the previous results indicated some fluid build-up.<br /><br />I'd really appreciate your continued prayers for a positive outcome with my lung condition and overall health. It's been a challenging time for my family as well; my father recently underwent surgery due to intestinal obstruction, and there's talk of chemotherapy procedures in the next six months. Our financial situation is tight, and we're relying on faith to see us through.<br /><br />Thank you all again for your prayers and support. I truly believe that God's blessings overflow when we least expect it. Keep shining your light, my friends!

<div><br />Do you know the song by Cliff Richard called "Ocean Deep"? It perfectly describes our current situation – we're deeply in debt, deeper than the deepest sea.<br /><br />Wait, I want to sing some lines... ehem...<br /><br />"Ocean deep I'm so afraid to show my feelings I have sailed a million ceilings Solitary room Ocean deep"<br /><br />Oh well, since I believe that my GOD, Jesus Christ, is good, I just entrust all of these things to Him. Bahala ka po, Lord, sa amin. I know You will provide our needs.<br /><br />Thanks, everyone! And thank YOU, my dear Lord. Chillax lang. — feeling hopeful</div><div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took the LET and passed it on March 10, 2013. I prayed for 75% but God is so good that He gave me 83.6%! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Months before the examination, I took 21 units of Professional Education on June - October 2012 because I am not a BSED graduate. Since I took up Information Technology in college, the PRC said that my major should be Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE). There are ten different areas of TLE, these are: Drafting, Masonry, Plumbing, Carpentry, Electricity, Electronics, Food, Cosmetology, Business Mathematics, and Entrepreneurship. Honestly, at first I thought I wouldn't be able to pass the test. I remember I only had a little knowledge in Electronics since it was my elective subject in high school. So I really had to double time and study all of them. <br />
<br />
I am telling you, passing the TLE is not an easy task unlike other major subjects which only concentrate on one particular discipline. Just like what happened in our batch; most of the Biology takers passed because according to them, it was so elementary and their exam was a piece of cake! In fact, majority of the passers mentioned on the Top 10 list (national level) were from the Biology group. That is why, in my opinion, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) must rank the teachers according to their major subject. To be be fair, each major subject should have its own top ten list. I think the PRC should be reasonable when ranking the passers to be more credible and to avoid any doubt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I only had four months of review since we started reviewing in October and we finished it in February. It helps a lot when you enroll in a review center. We brushed up on General Education (Mathematics, English, Science, History, Government, Arts, etc) and Professional Education (Principles of Teaching, Theories of Learning, Philosophy of Education, Social Foundations of Education, and Principles and Methods of Assessment). In my case, since I am not really an expert in other areas of TLE, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jp.review">our review center</a> gave us a lot of materials to master. I also bought the Comprehensive LET Reviewer in Technology and Livelihood Education of Romeo Ebonite. As I was reading his biography, I was surprised that Mr. Ebonite and I went to the same elementary and high school in Polangui, Albay. So I considered it as a sign that I would pass the LET. That reviewer helped me a lot!<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To know more about the examination for secondary education, please analyze this distribution of items: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
General Education 150 items (20%)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Professional Education 150 items (40%)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Major 150 items (40%)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The passing rate is 75%, but you need to get 50% in all three areas. Meaning, you wont pass if you do not get at least half of the 150 items in every area mentioned above. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But please be reminded that <b>75 points WILL NOT MAKE YOU PASS</b>. Examine this example:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
General Education (20% or 0.2) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
75 out of 150 items is 0.5 or 50% </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Get the 20%, 50 * 0.2 = 10</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Professional Education (40% or 0.4) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
75 out of 150 is 0.5 or 50% </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Get the 40%, 50 * 0.4 = 20</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Major (40% or 0.4) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
75 out of 150 is 0.5 or 50% </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Get the 40%, 50 * 0.4 = 20</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Therefore, 10 + 20 + 20 = 50</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
General Weighted Average is 50% <b>FAILED</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now <b>to pass you need to get at least 113 out of 150 items</b>. Check this out:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
General Education (20%) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
113 out of 150 is 0.75 or 75% </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then 75 * 0.2 = 15</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Professional Education (40%) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
113 out of 150 is 0.75 or 75% </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then 75 * 0.4 = 30</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Major (40%) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
113 out of 150 is 0.75 or 75% </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then 75 * 0.4 = 30</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Therefore, 15 + 30 + 30 = 75</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
General Weighted Average is 75% <b>PASSED</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>It is a myth that you only need 75 points in each area to pass the LET.</b> Unless, you get at least 81% in Professional Education and Major.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
<div>
General Education (20%) </div>
<div>
<b>75</b> out of 150 is 0.50 or 50% </div>
<div>
Then 50 * 0.2 = 10</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Professional Education (40%) </div>
<div>
<b>122</b> out of 150 is 0.81 or 81% </div>
<div>
Then 82 * 0.4 = 32.5</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Major (40%) </div>
<div>
<div>
<b>122</b> out of 150 is 0.81 or 81% </div>
<div>
Then 82 * 0.4 = 32.5<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Therefore, 10 + 32.5 + 32.5 = 75</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
General Weighted Average is 75% <b>PASSED</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>So here is what I got: 84, 83, and 84.<br />
<br />
To compute,<br />
<br />
General Education (20%)<br />
126 out of 150 is 84 x 0.2 = 16.8<br />
<br />
Professional Education (40%)<br />
125 out of 150 is 83 x 0.4 = 33.2<br />
<br />
Major (40%)<br />
126 out of 150 is 84 x 0.4 = 33.6<br />
<br />
Gen. Weighted Average: 16.8 + 33.2 + 33.6 =<b> </b>83.6 <b>PASSED</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing you should consider when taking the LET is to never forget to take God with you in this journey. You know why? Because God gives wisdom to those who need it. I wish you all good luck. STUDY HARD and the good Lord will bless and keep you.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was working in Makati as a call boy (that's what we call ourselves in our team), I used to utilize my rest day to watch some movies in Glorietta or Greenbelt or Walter Mart. I can watch three movies from 1 pm to 12 midnight (it depends on the schedule of the film). Watching movies is the only thing I want to do when I am not at work. I don't drink and smoke so going to the bar or club is the last thing I want to do. I'd rather go to sleep when the movies are not appealing to me. This addiction started when I was young. I wanted to become a director since I had a lot of things running in my mind. My imagination was so big that I used to include myself in the story of the film. It's funny since I used to act in front of the mirror in the bathroom. Used to? Naah... we'll to tell you honestly, I still do it until this day. I realized I wanted to become an actor! Wow I have finally admitted it. Have you ever said to yourself that you can also do the thing the actor did on TV? "Kaya ko din yan!" Well, I always say that to myself silently. Not that I am good but we can sense what we truly feel inside right? So that's what always been happening ever since I was a little kid. I knew that it was not easy to get into this industry especially when you live 500 kilometers away from the movie world. But when I learned that two of my aunties were actors, man I tell you I felt so great! May lahi pala kaming artista! I really wanted to try it out at a young age but since my parents never learned about my hidden desires and they wanted me to finish my studies, my dream was put on hold. Hirap pala pigilan ang isang bagay na gusto mo talaga gawin. Did I ever had an attempt to confess it? Yes I did to my mom and she told me to stop dreaming and start studying. So I stopped and started paddling my way to graduation. I took up IT in college and just one semester before I graduated, I finally got a chance to work for Radio GMA in Legazpi, a national radio station where I was able to interview actors! I remember the first actor I interviewed was Cristine Reyes. Wow, she was... hot! That was the closest I could get from my ultimate dream. I said to myself, "At least you get to talk to them!" Oo nga naman.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dreaming to be in that industry is like attempting to open your eyes when you sneeze. I went to several jobs from radio to call center to university and finally to an audio production company. But that didn't take me to that place. Well sort of, I think, since I got to see actors almost everyday in the company I worked for last year. I trained there as an <a href="http://diskorner.blogspot.com/2011/07/hit-exposure.html">audio editor for TVCs</a>. I didn't stay there for long for some reasons but I learned a lot. My interest in the industry went so high since I already know what is happening behind the scenes. Enjoy din magtrabaho sa likod ng camera. Kahit nga dati PA gusto ko patulan... makalapit lang sa industriya. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Anyway, let's go back to the part where I finally learned about my two aunts. Their names are <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1723035/">Lui Manansala</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1077723/">Ama Quiambao</a> (married to actor <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0899430/">Gamaliel Viray</a>). I was young and so fresh then. I remember our town had three big cinemas
before. Thanks to the family of Maribeth Bichara since they put up a twin cinema that
time. That's where I used to watch my aunt's movies. Mura lang kasi bayad noon, I think it was only P7 without air-con. That movie house is no longer in operation because most of the households now have cable connections. Plus the selling of pirated CDs is rampant nowadays. I don't buy them since I love the industry, remember?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My aunts are so active in telenovelas and movies. But sadly just awhile ago, I received a bad news about aunt Ama. She already left to meet God at 8:09 pm tonight July 5, 2013. <span class="userContent">She had a cardiac arrest on stage last Friday
afternoon during a performance in </span><span class="userContent">Cultural Center of the Philippines. She was in coma and on a
respirator at Capitol Med's ICU for a week. This feels like the end of my dream. I remember she used to give me some advice regarding the industry. She wanted me to try theater to learn the ways of it. Now she's already gone. Paano na? Ewan ko nga ba. It feels like going to a place without a guide or map. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="userContent">Anyway, that's how life is here on earth. We are only passing this way, once. I wish I had a chance to work with her or with my other aunt. Losing someone is hard but if you know what the Lord has planned for us, you'll understand. I felt so bad <a href="http://diskorner.blogspot.com/2010/09/remembering-my-sister.html">when I lost my sister</a> so I cried almost every night for two years. But I tell you, I just let God control everything. I had a lot of frustrations but I know that He has a better plan for me. In Jeremiah 29:11 it says, <i>For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. That's what I am always holding on to</i>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="userContent"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="userContent">To my aunt, thank you for boosting my confidence when you were still here. Thanks for giving me some tips and thanks for being so nice and sweet. May you rest in peace and I know that I will still see you someday. In the right place at the right time. </span></div>

My name is Ron Banzagales and I
am <i>twenty one</i> ten years back. I
decided to enroll in PCC because my friend passed the LET examination last year
and he told me that I can also make it. At first I didn’t take it seriously
since I still had lots of things in mind like going back to Makati to accept
another job and going back to school was the last thing on my mind. But as I
went home from Manila, I started considering about what he has told me. As a
result, I asked my other friend who’s currently studying in that school to show
me his syllabus so I could have an idea on what to take.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I was given <i>twenty one </i>units by the registrar and I paid them in full to avoid
further trouble when getting a test permit and the clearance. I had to <i>burn
some eyebrows</i> for four months just to complete this course. I admit I was
really excited for this since the last time I entered a school was like a
decade ago. I was kind of feeling rusty but the excitement has taken over. I
thought I only had a few classmates but when I went to school on the first day
I got more excited by their numbers. We were almost fifty in class! Since I
belong to a few people having this letter ‘B’ in the surname, I was one of the
first persons who were called to introduce ourselves. <i>Hi! My name is Ron… and I am (still) single.</i><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div>

The professors were very much
accommodating and that added up to the bursting excitement. My first few
challenges were the list of reference books they gave us. Luckily, I had found
some of them in the bookstore and I got most of them from the photocopying
shop. How did I do it? Well, I saw some books being photocopied and I ask the
lady operator to make two copies of them, one for the owner and the other one
for me. Talking about piracy or plagiarism here but I had no choice but to do
whatever it takes. I am sorry but I honestly believe that the price of books should
be lowered down to fifty percent and education must be free! <i>Oh well… in a perfect country that is.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
June to October just went by so
fast. I had good memories and I gained some good friends too! Most importantly,
I learned a lot. I only hope that my classmates have the same feeling. I know I
still have more things to learn since this is just forty percent of what I must
acquire to pass the LET next year. But I am certain that these few remaining
months are enough for me to obtain them. There’s more time to study and review.
Of course with God’s help. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At first, I thought it would be hard
for me to think of what I should write when I first learned that we had to
state the philosophies we follow. I also
thought I was not into following certain rules when it comes to life but when I
revisited the past events in my life, I have learned that there are some
principles that I follow. Since I am usually not depending on my own self when
it comes to dealing with struggles in life, most of these are taken from the
Bible. The Bible says in Colossians 2:8 <i>“See to it that no one takes you
captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human
tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on
Christ.”</i> Therefore, I personally believe that we should only follow what the
Bible teaches. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
To start off with my first belief, we all
know that everyone has his/her own needs in life. We tend to find ways to get
those things for us to be happy and satisfied. But there are certain things we
must consider when aiming for what we want in life. Some would dare to do
everything even if it’s not right just to have the things they want. The Bible
says in Hebrews 13:5, <i>Keep your life free from love of money, and be content
with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”</i>
I went through a lot of conflicts in life and I have met different people
who played some roles in my life’s story, some were morally admirable while
some were really unlikable; and this verse alone keeps me strong. I know that
in every battle I had, I was always being guarded by the One.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We all have our plans but most of the
time we encountered some obstacles in the road and we often caught ourselves
worrying what to do to surpass those barriers. We think of so many ways to
tackle the problem but we frequently forget that the only solution to our
problem is the Lord Himself. In the Bible it says, <i>"Trust in the LORD with
all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways
acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths."</i> (Proverbs 3:5-6) Our
lives will be so much simpler and productive if we only know who to follow. In
Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NIV) <i>11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the
Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen
to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In life, we certainly meet two types
of people, one who walks with you and the one who walks behind you and pulls
you down. We all want to achieve our goals but we must realize that the road we
ought to take isn’t always easy. But don’t despair because help is always in
the way. We may not be always firm in our beliefs but God is true and He never
changes. The Lord is always faithful; he will strengthen and protect us from the
evil ones. Do you think we still have reasons to worry if we have God? All we
need to do is to trust and follow Him. Isn’t it wonderful?<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Two weeks ago when I was
working on my computer, my father was ranting about the way our garbage collectors
carried out their jobs. I asked him why? He said that they just left the sacks
in the middle of the street after collecting the garbage… and of course he had
to pick them up one by one. He even said that they would not want to gather if the
garbage is not arranged in a container. In other words, they won’t put them in
the truck unless the garbage is well prepared. Well that ‘<i><b>quite</b></i>’ makes sense so
I didn’t mind the rage and I just planned to document their next trip.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I am so busy in school that is
why I had to postpone my plan. So after more than a week, I got the same reaction
from my sixty-eight year old father. According to him the schedule of garbage
collection is set every Monday and Thursday, and today is a Monday (8AM Manila Time). A perfect time to set my camera and see for myself. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The title of this blog is derived from a 1992 movie of Joey de Leon and Vic Sotto: top two comedians of all time. But this issue is not funny at all. I tell you, I really didn’t
like what I saw. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I remember, when I was a little,
our garbage collectors had their own brooms and big dustpans. They swept the
street, gathered every single garbage and they appeared to be enjoying their
work. But this time, “<i>Ano ba ang
nangyayari?</i>” Is this what we are paying for? They get their salaries from
our taxes! “<i>Marumi nga ang basura pero
huwag naman pati ugali ay gawing kasing dumi nito</i>.” If you do not want your
job then better find something that you will enjoy. “<i>Madaming tao diyan na walang trabaho pero may magandang asal sa trabaho</i>.”
The government should never hire these people. I would never keep them if I were
the head of this place because they would only ruin my name as a true public
servant.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We have to change our ways and
stop acting like we don’t care. Even if you only hold the lowest position in a government,
you are still expected to perform well. Always keep in mind that the salary you
are receiving comes from the people. Public service is not about what you will obtain
but what you can give to the community. </div>

Katatapos ko lang manood ng Walang Hanggan na pinagbibidahan ng dalawa sa pinakamalaking artista sa ngayon, sina Coco Martin bilang Daniel at Julia Montes bilang Katerina. Ito na ang pangalawang linggo na pinapakita pa rin ang mga kuha sa Albay, Bicol na kinunan dalawang linggo na nakalipas dito sa aming lugar. Nakakatuwa na makita ang magagandang tanawiin dito sa amin, lalo na ang pinagmamalaking bulkan di lang dito kundi pati na rin ng buong bansa, ang bulkang Mayon. Sa dahilang ito'y nakabilang sa pinagpilian noong dalawang taon nang nakalipas sa The New Seven Wonders of Nature. Ang bulkang ito ay sumisimbolo sa kagandahan ng isang Bikolana at pati na rin ng lahat ng mga Filipina. Ito marahil ang isa sa dahilan kung bakit napili ng produksyon ang lugar para sa kanilang pelikula.<br />

Maganda ang tema ng kuwento at ayon sa balita ito ay nangunguna pa rin sa ngayon sa larangan ng paligsahan ng mga telenobela ng tatlong malalaking istasyon ng telebisyon sa bansa, ang TV5, GMA, at ABS-CBN ayon sa AGB Nielsen Mega Manila Household Ratings. Sa aking palagay ay wala talagang duda na ang Walang Hanggan ay mangunguna sa lahat. Dahil mas bigatin ang tambalan ng mga pangunahing tauhan sa kuwento at sa tulong na rin ng dalawang dating magkasintahan na sina Dawn Zulueta (<i>na aking crush kahit noong di pa siya kaputian</i>) at si Richard Gomez <i>(na di nagkakalayo sa aking hitsura... walang pong kokontra blog ko ito... lol Maari siguro noong may kakapalan pa ang aking buhok, kaya sige na nga... di kami nagkakalayo ni Goma sa tangkad and that is for sure. Please lang pagbigyan niyo na ako. Salamat po.)</i><br />
<br />
Madaming pang primera klaseng artista ang kasama sa kuwento, kabilang na ang dalawang reyna ng pelikulang Pilipino na sina Susan Roces at Helen Gamboa. Nariyan din ang magagaling na tauhan na ginampanan nina Rita Avila at Eula Valdez na di nagkakalayo ang kagandahan ng dalawa. Sadyang kaydami ng mga pinagsama-samang galing ng mga artista. At ako ay natutuwa dahil nakasama rin ang aking tiyahin sa kuwento. Di kahabaan ang kanyang paganap subalit siya ang minsang pinag-kaguluhan ng mga tagapanood. Dahil siya lamang ang may hawak ng susi sa katotohanan sa likod ng katauhan ni Daniel Guidotti. Siya si Lui Manansala na gumanap sa kumadronang si Laarni Peralta na minsang nagkaron ng patong sa ulo upang siya'y matagpuan. Simula't simula pa lang ay nakatutok na ako sa kuwento kaya wala akong pinalalampas na tagpo sa bawat gabing ito'y ipalabas. Habang tumatagal ay gumaganda ang kabuuan ng nobela.<br />

Sa nakalipas na halos dalawang linggo, sa Albay, Bicol na halos umiikot ang mga tagpo ng kuwento. Masaya ang mga kuha sa dalawang pangunahing tauhan. Makikita sa kuwento na sila'y natutuwa sa bagong lugar na kanilang napuntahan. Subalit aking napansin bilang isang taga rito sa lugar kung saan kasalukuyang binubuo ang kuwento, mukhang ganoon pa rin ang nakikitang konsepto ng isang "<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicolano_people">probinsyano</a></i>" sa loob ng kamera. Simula't noong bata pa ako, mahilig na akong manood ng mga pelikulang gawa man sa ibang bansa o dito sa atin. Naaalala ko pa rin ang konsepto ng mga taga probinsya noong dekada 80 sa pelikula ng namayapang asawa ni Susan Roces na si FPJ. Pinapakita na kapag ang isang taga Maynila ay mapunta sa anumang probinsya ay parang sadyang magbabago ang kanyang panlasa sa pananamit. Mula sa may kagarahang damit hanggang sa biglaang pagsuot ng palda at simpleng blouse o kaya naman ay t-shirt. Sa kaso ng tauhan na si Katerina, ay wala akong masasabi dahil maayos pa naman ang kanyang kasuotan. Mukha pa rin siyang taga Maynila na tila kusang pinapakita ang kaibahan sa mga nakapaligid sa kanya na mga taga rito. Sa tagpo kung saan mayroong "Pabeyli ni Mayor" o pasayaw ni Mayor, sa mga nakapanood ay maaalala niyo ito. Ito'y isang tagpo na may sayawan ng mga taga roon sa lugar na kanilang napuntahan. Makikita na ang hitsura ng "dance floor" ay tila bang may mga nakalambiting mga de kulay na papel. At sa aking pananaw, ang hitsura ng mga nakapaligid sa kanila na nagsasayawan ay di na nangyayari pa sa kasalukuyang panahon. Gusto ko lang po sana magbigay ng aking komento sa bagay na ito. Ayon sa tagpo, sila'y nagsasayawan na suot lamang ay tsinelas na tila bang galing lang sila sa bahay at di na nag-ayos. Naalala ko noong ako ay bata pa, halos dalawampung taon na nakalipas, kami ng nanay at mga kapatid at iba ko pang pinsan ay dumadalo rin sa ganitong okasyon. Ngunit wala akong maalala na pinapapasok sa sayawan na ganyan ang hitsura. To simplify what I mean, sa aking pagkaka-alam, kahit po mga taga probinsiya ay marunong na rin silang pumili at magsuot ng magagarang pananamit. Maaring sa mga ordinaryong araw nila sa bahay ay simpleng kasuotan lamang ang kanilang suot ngunit kapag ang mga ito ay dadalo sa anumang okasyon, I am telling you... dressed to kill ang mga yan.<br />

Ito lang naman ang aking napupuna di lang sa aking nakita kanina ngunit sa lahat ng ating mga pelikula. Kung inyo pong pag-aaralan, karamihan sa mga nakatira ngayon sa Maynila ay nanggaling din sa kani-kanilang mga probinsiya. Sila man ay nagtatrabaho bilang kasambahay hanggang sa mga taong nagtatrabaho sa call centers. May mga iilan pa ngang sinuwerteng nakapagtrabaho sa larangan ng paggawa ng pelikula, sa harap o likod man ng kamera. Halos sampung taon din akong tumira roon at masasabi ko na walang pinagkaiba na sa ngayon ang panlasa sa kasuotan ng mga taga luwas ng Maynila at sa mga taga siyudad. Kung ano ang tinitinda sa NCR ay nakakarating na rin dito sa tulong na rin ng mga malls at pati na rin ng teknolohiya. Ginagamit ang internet upang bumili ng damit o gamit di lang sa Maynila kundi pati na rin sa labas ng bansa. Kahit taga buhat ng palay dito sa amin ay may sarili na ring mobile phone na puwedeng ikontak o makontak ng kanyang kamag-anak na nasa Dubai o Hong Kong o minsan ay US pa para tanungin kung ano ang sukat ng kanyang sapatos o pantalon. Maaring maliit na porsyento lamang ito ngunit huwag pong makalimutan na nariyan na rin ang mga ukay-ukay na galing sa ibang bansa na pwedeng mabili sa halagang dalawampung piso lamang. Konting laba at babad lamang ay nagmumukha nang bago sa mga makakakita. Mura na lang ang damit ngayon kumpara noong mga panahon na matagal bago ito ay mapalitan. Naglipana ang murang damit sa palengke lalo na sa mga araw ng miyerkules at linggo kung kailan ito ay araw ng pamimili.<br />

Naalala ko minsan nang umuwi ako kasama ang ilan sa mga taga Maynila na nakatrabaho ko (<i>Maynila ang tawag kahit na taga QC o Makati</i>) na ang iba ay nag-pakita ng kawalan ng interes sa lugar. Maaring dahil sa kanilang pag-aakala na ang aming nayon ay binubuo lamang ng mga simpleng nilikha na walang panlasa na kagaya sa kanila. Subalit di nila batid na pare-parehas din naman ang kinakain natin at ang hitsura't amoy nito pagtapos. Kaibahan lamang ay sila'y namulat sa lugar ng maraming awto samantalang kami ay namulat lamang sa lugar ng maraming kalabaw at aso. Lahat tayo ay napapailalim sa iisang sistema lamang ng pagsasanay kaya walang dudang tayo ay sabay na namumulat sa laro ng buhay. Kadalasan pa nga ay mas matitibay ang mga tubong probinsya kagaya ng Albay. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.138615439574620.17797.129969250439239&type=3">Gusto mo ba ng patunay</a>?<br />
<br />
Sana lang po ay magbago na rin ang pananaw ng mga taga-sulat ng kuwento pati na rin ang mga taga-pili ng damit ng mga artista. Ito'y para na rin sa mas ikagaganda pa ng kuwento. Dapat din na hango sa tunay na nangyayari ang maipapakita sa mga tagapanood upang maiwasan ang negatibong epekto sa magandang kuwento.<br />

Sa huli, isa pa ring kaabang-abang ang Walang Hanggan. Isang pagbati sa lahat ng bumubuo ng produksyong ito, mabuhay kayo!<br />

We used to play riddles when I was in elementary and I remember one of the riddles I got was this: </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kung tawagin nila'y santo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Di naman milagroso? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The answer is Santol. Santol is known as wild mangosteen and it is a tropical tree that originates in southeast Asia. This is one of the most common fruit-bearing trees in the Philippines. Children love it due to its juicy pulps around two to five seeds depending on its size. The pulp is usually sour especially when it is not ripe. Ripe santol fruits have sweet pulpy seeds. We usually eat this juicy flesh with a little salt to enhance the taste. The santol fruit is round and it is as big as the apple. The locals only eat the inside of this fruit but since this is commonly being sold in the market or streets, the vendors usually peel the fruit for easy consumption. Filipinos enjoy eating sweet and sour food and we love this fruit since the inner layer of santol tastes sour while the pulps are usually sweet. Santols are also used for making marmalade because the combination of the two opposite tastes of this fruit makes it more marketable not just in the country but in all parts of Europe and US. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Processing the fruit can be the safest way to consume this tropical fruit. One thing that you should keep in mind is that the seeds of santol should not be swallowed as those could kill you. Eating a lot of santol seeds can puncture your intestine which could lead to bleeding and infection because the bowel wastes will surely mix with your blood stream. Intestinal obstruction can also be the case if you will swallow its seeds. If you have accidentally swallowed one or two seeds, well I believe it is not that fatal because I accidentally swallowed some of them before but then I am still alive. Probably I was just lucky to be one. I would still suggest that you consult your doctor if you feel pain in your stomach after this incident. </div>

One night I was watching the late night news and I almost fell off my bed laughing when the news anchor delivered the two news about santol. First, a man died after swallowing eleven seeds. And the second was about the possession of the demon living inside the santol tree. I was really laughing out loud and I even shut my mouth with a pillow because everyone was already asleep. That was the funniest news I have ever seen. I know that demons and death are not funny at all but the timing was full of humor. I don't know but this gave a me reason to explore deeply into the Net and I was so surprised that Santol has really its own mystery. </div>

I thought <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandara_Park">Sandara Park</a> was one of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Girls">Wonder Girls</a> when I first saw them on TV. Wonder Girls is the newest singing sensation who gave us the "Nobody nobody but you!" phrase. I just knew about the truth tonight when one of my girl-friends in Facebook who happened to be a Korean posted something about her favorite member of the Wonder Girls. She said she's sad because her idol is leaving the group to pursue her academic career.<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>Sandara's look alike is <a href="http://www.hancinema.net/korean_Ahn_So-hee.php">Ahn So Hee.</a><br />

Sandara also belongs to a similar group called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2NE1">2NE1</a> with a song called <a href="http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/0-9/2ne1/fire.html">Fire</a> which goes like, Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh 2NE1, Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh you gotta ring the alarm! <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-style: italic;">Hmm I wonder why these girls are so hot like fire.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">he-he </span>:)<br />

Anyway, I have noticed that one of the casts of my favorite historical South-Korean drama about the life of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Seon_Duk_%28TV_series%29" title="Queen Seondeok of Silla">Queen Seondeok of Silla</a> has a look alike. This Korean actor on the left looks like a Filipino actor comedian Roderick Paulate who is known for comic gay roles.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I turned on the news this morning and my parents were stunned when they learned that their "batch mate" <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Summer">Donna Summer</a>, the Queen of Disco died at the age of 63 due to lung cancer which she was diagnosed ten months ago. She is famous for her top 10 disco hits including <i>McArthur Park</i>, <i>Love to love you baby</i>,<i> I feel love</i>, <i>She works hard for the money</i>, <i>Last Dance</i>, <i>Hot Stuff</i>, <i>On the Radio</i>, <i>Bad Girls</i>, <i>This time I know it's for real</i>, and <i>Unconditional Love</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I heard about this news, I decided to look for the gift I got from a friend in Makati last year. Actually this guy isn't really a close friend of mine but he willingly gave me his vinyl collections. He said he no longer have a space for them and he believed that I have a place for these rare records. Honestly, I already forgot his name but he's the most trusting person I have ever met.<br />
<br />
My friend <a href="http://hitproductions.net/ramir-tiamzon/">Ramir Santos Tiamzon</a>, senior sound engineer of <a href="http://diskorner.blogspot.com/2011/07/hit-exposure.html">Hit Productions, Inc</a>. is a collector of these items too. Since I got three 12" vinyls (like Wham's Wake Me Up Before You Go) and I don't have a good player right now, I decided to give Ramir the other two different 12" albums 'cos I learned that he loves mixing music using his turntable.<br />
<br />
So here are the albums I have right now:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I don't want them to suffer the consequences of my mistakes.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; "> </span></p><p style="font-family: Georgia, serif; "></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; "><o:p><span> </span></o:p></p></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: justify; "><span style="font-size: 100%; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGYiruZhf3w6RUe-esgpYkTpGvrw-LlIKkwbK_3DoFKm1aCOrz1bYXQLYUtJWLsQkg9Y2i_Ow_0vHFQ_SaSSLYj5vaz9NA3RTdN7CwUnP-bzuSOf0rms9gD132ox8Pz6NK0S4sesfrLN8/s1600/riley.jpg" style="text-align: left; font-size: medium; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGYiruZhf3w6RUe-esgpYkTpGvrw-LlIKkwbK_3DoFKm1aCOrz1bYXQLYUtJWLsQkg9Y2i_Ow_0vHFQ_SaSSLYj5vaz9NA3RTdN7CwUnP-bzuSOf0rms9gD132ox8Pz6NK0S4sesfrLN8/s320/riley.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5718330239386730242" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 320px; " /></a><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: justify; "><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; "><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia, serif; text-align: justify; "><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; ">So if you are reading this article and think that you are now ready not just physically but financially then you have my blessing... go on and have some babies.

Creepy huh? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Everyone has to work to live but some people just wont let you survive. You know what I mean. Being friendly isn't really bad at all but always remember that not all of them will be true to you. As an old saying goes, "<i>It is hard to find a true friend.</i>" Some will act like they are on your side to deceive you. But don't despair since there are people who will be willing to help you along the way. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In an office environment, being good in the eyes of your boss is the best thing to do. Do your job properly and try to learn everyday to enhance your skills. When your boss sees your effort and potential, some of your senior co-employees will surely be jealous about it. Now this is when office bullies start to feel the fire in their bottoms. They usually feel threatened and think that you will be their rival when it comes to pleasing the clients. An office bully can be your supervisor or manager but most of the time the bullying is done by <b>coworkers </b>who are either attempting to advance in the ranks by any means possible.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here are the clues that you are being bullied:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">- You constantly feel disturbed and uneasy, that you would be in trouble anytime</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Bullies are more likely to spread half-truths, gossips and lies about you or your performance</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">- They may always criticize everything you do not to help you but to embarrass you</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you are a victim of a workplace bully, then your best option is to tell your boss. Just keep your cool when doing this because you are being professional here. However, if you think that you wont receive the support that you need from your company then it could be time to move on and find a healthier workplace. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><br /></div><div>“<i>Any one who claims to be in the light, but hates his brother is still in the darkness.</i>” 1 John 2:9</div><div><br /></div><div> “<i>Envy rots the bones</i>” Proverbs 14:30</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div>Ron Knight Banzagaleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05967347228557773767noreply@blogger.com1
