Bakit ba kailangang may title? Ayaw ko e...


I was really kind of shocked to find out that this is 100% computer generated. Parang tunay na talaga sya...

Anyway... Kahapon umuwi ako sa Cavite after my classes, birthday kasi ni Mikolo e. Best friend ko yun sa dati kong skul... Kaya ayun, kahit may klase ulit sa Maynila, umuwi ako. May konting salu-salo kina Mikolo noon, tapos lumipat kami kasi si Diego, na kaklase nya ay kasabay pala niya ng Birthday. Dun kami tumambay buong hapon. Ang saya namin nun, grabe. May inuman pa... Tapos may nakilala ako kasi kasama ni Cheska (*dating kaklase) na "Krizzy" ata ang pangalan. Kursunada ko, pero di ko nakuha number... awww... iba talaga ang kabitenya hahahaha.... (oopss... dedz ako)

Ngayon, gumawa ako ng clay. Nakakatuwa paglaruan, kaya lang humahawa sa kamay yung kulay...

May isang palaisipan na nasa utak ng ko. Kung ikaw ay binato ng bato, at nilanghap mo ito, ano ka? Hilo? (*fck random nonsense)

Isa pang dapat kong ayusin, I must fix my state of mind. I've been quite confused lately... I need time off...

btw, nakapagtataka. Sa UPCAT reviewer ko, nung kinuha ko, 7/25 ako sa arithmetic, pero 19/20 ako sa Physics at Chem. Weird...

Pagpasensyahan na lang ako ng kung sino man na nagugulo ko. Magulo ako ngayon... Un p lng kc alam kong release activity...

Sa ibang balita,

Ayusin ko muna research namin... next post after i return from cavite.


Awit ni Maria Clara

Walang kasintamis ang mga sandali sa sariling bayan,
Doon sa ang lahat ay pinagpapala ng halik ng araw,
May buhay na dulot ang mahinhing simoy na galing sa parang.
Pagsinta'y matimyas, at napakatamis ng kamatayan man.

Maapoy na halik, ang idinarampi ng labi ng ina
Paggising ng sanggol sa kanyang kandungan na walang balisa,
Pagkawit sa leeg ng bisig na sabik pa-uumaga na,
Matang manininging ay nangakangiti't pupos ng ligaya.

Mamatay ay langit kung dahil sa ating lupang tinubuan,
Doon sa ang lahat ay pinagpapala ng halik ng araw,
Ang mahinhing simoy ns galing sa bukid ay lubhang mapanglaw
Sa wala nang ina, wala nang tahana't walang nagmamahal


Bigla ko lang yang nakita... Well, its so nice... Yung last two lines, ang translation:

Death is the breeze for him who has
no country, no mother, and no love!


Emo na pala ang mga tao noon...

Sige na. I need rest...

-I still believe that even if the darkest clouds come, even if Mount Pinatubo blackens the sky, the sun of progress and wisdom will still shine upon my country.

On "The Philippines A Century Hence" - Dr. Jose Rizal




This essay was written by our national hero about 100 years ago. So it is probably high time for us to find out how we fared and how close we were to this predictions, and how we can learn from it.


Dr. Rizal predicted two options for the Filipino People during his time.

First, Filipinas would be considered Spanish territory, but this would happen if and only if the Filipinos were treated with respect and equality under law, and only if liberalization happens.

Yes, it did not happen, so the second option, that the Filipinos would shake off the Spanish yoke, came true.

So this is what we are going to follow, and we will compare and contrast what Dr Rizal predicted and what actually happened.

Dr. Rizal predicted that the revolution would be bloody, and by bloody hell it was. Filipinos fought tenaciously, that is until the Americans came.

Dr. Rizal also predicted that the Americans would come, however he predicted that it would be unlikely since "this is contrary to her traditions." However, America did this through cunning and not through direct military conflict, and to hell with traditions! Americans had been hypocrites... And i hope they will no longer be.

This statement was once true.

"Very likely the Philippines will defend with inexpressible valor the liberty secured at the price of so much blood and sacrifice. With the new men that will spring from their soil and with the recollection of their past, they will perhaps strife to enter freely upon the wide road of progress, and all will labor together to strengthen their fatherland, both internally and externally, with the same enthusiasm, with which a youth falls again to tilling the land of his ancestors who long wasted and abandoned through the neglect of those who have withheld it from him. Then the mines will be made to give up their gold for relieving distress, iron for weapons, copper, lead, and coal. Perhaps the country will revive the maritime and mercantile life for which the islanders are fitted by their nature, ability and instincts, and once more free, like the bird that leaves its cage, like the flower that unfolds to the air, will recover the pristine virtues that are gradually dying out and will again become addicted to peace -- cheerful, happy, joyous, hospitable and daring."

However, can we see this in the Filipino of today? Are Filipinos laboring together to strengthen their fatherland? I do not think that this is being done. We are actually vivisecting the fatherland, in a sense. We take what we can from it and leave the cadaver for other scavengers to do their thing. Wala tayong utang na loob sa bansa.

Now, this struck me the most.

"Absence of any great preponderance of one race over the others will free their imagination from all mad ambitions of domination, and as they tendency of countries that have been tyrannized over, when they once shake off the yoke, is to adopt the freest government, like a boy leaving school, like the beat of the pendulum or by a law of reaction, the Islands will probably declare themselves a federal republic."


Yes, that law of reaction is currently on-going. There are calls in the provinces for a federalist form. yet, for the almost 50 years of our existence as a sovereign nation after the World Wars, nothing significant happened for federalism.

Is that a rejection of Dr. Rizal's words?

No, since it is the politicians in Imperial Manila who holds all power. The provinces are under-represented. So, that is the cause of the negative effects of regionalism. Federalism will make this regionalism into something positive, while not actually eviscerating the unity of the nation.

I do not know, but I advocate federalism. A treatise on that will come soon.

Dr Rizal proves prophetic, otherwise.

Naalala ko na naman ang Noli me Tangere. Pati na rin yung summary ng El Filibusterismo. Alam ko na halos 100 taon na mula ng ito'y isulat ni Gat Jose Rizal, pero bakit hindi pa rin nawawala ang kanser sa lipunang nais niyang ipakita noon pa man.

Oo nga at wala na ang mga Kastila, pero ang mga prayle ay napalitan na ng mga lehislador at ang mga Pilipino ay ganoon pa rin, walang pagkakaisa at may pansariling interes pa rin.

Bakit ba kasi walang halaga sa atin ang mga bagay na magpapabuti sa ating bansa?
Ewan.

Mamaya pupunta ako sa eskwela at mag-aayos nang ilang trabaho. Yun lang. Mamaya na ulit ako magpopost, pero para sa kaligayahan ninyo, may ilalagay akong isang video mula sa youtube. Enjoy!

Paradiso... and random mumblings



I went to Greenhills kanina, and grabe, it was like paradise for me... Maraming shops with computer-related goods, and maraming restaurants, kaya pede nyo na akong iwanan dun at magiging masaya ako. Hahaha. XD.

Ayun, so bale pag-iipunan ko yung original na Sim City 4 Deluxe para makarehistro ako sa Maxis. May plano kasi akong irecreate ang Mega Manila sa Sim City according sa kagustuhan ko. Grabe... Tapos subukan ko pang mag-aral ng 3d animation. Hell pala yun. Yung Sim City, 1995 lang naman at yung Autodesk 3dmax na hinahanap ko, 10,000 lang naman. Ang hirap magbuo ng pondo. Buti na lang may paraan ang mga Pilipino.

Pero hindi lang yun... May isa din akong pinag-iipunan, na kahit short-term e un pa rin ang focus ko, mas madali kasi e. At isa pa, may kadamay na unggoy na namamato ng mga casko ng alak. Hahahahaha XD

Ayun, so ito ang mga plano ko sa nalalabing 1.3333333... na buwan ng taon.

  1. Fix Research. TOP PRIORITY KO ITO NGAYONG BAKASYON
  2. MAg-aral ng isang programming language. Iimprove ko na lang siguro ang C ko.
  3. Mag-self review para sa UPCAT, pero sana sa ibang bansa ako ipatapon ng Diyos para mag-aral.
  4. Mag-aral ng techniques sa editing para sa negosyo ko.
Sa research kasi, palagay ko mas makakatulong ako sa bansa ko. Destino ko na siguro ito, maging isang chemist. Destino ko na ang pagiging isang taong nagpipilit magbigay ng gamot sa isang bansang hindi nagpapahalaga sa akin. Yun lang... Oh well... Hindi ako magpapaconvert sa relihiyong EMO, may Butasismo na ako e.

*Isususulat ko din pala yung doktrina ngayong summer... Tsk... tsk... tsk... (JKz)*

Nga pala, sana may berze dyan na nakakaalam kung ano na gagawin sa outing.

Ito ang isa sa mga nakita ko sa LRT, nakapost dun kasi mga tulang Espanyol, isulat ko na lang para kung sakali sana may makarinig dyan...

"Si alguna vez la vida te maltrata
acuerdate de mi,
que no consarse de esperar
aquel que no se canse de mirarte."

-Luis Garcia Montero


Bukas naman, Rockwell ang titirahin ko. Here I come!

May say din ako sa nangyayaring krisis sa pagkain. Hindi kasi natin pinapahalagahan ang ating magsasaka, kaya nauubos sila. Idedetalye ko ito, pero isusulat ko muna bilang isang essay para mas maging maayos ang pagkakapaliwanag ng mga idea at konsepto ko ukol sa isyu.

"Meus animus. perpetuus , Meus. animositas , semper libera.
Meus patria , umquam veneratio quod diligo
Ego fides ista ego mos servio et assero tibi
Ut permaneo spiritus quod ut permaneo occumbo of meus cruor
Dum fidelis libertas , imperium , progressio , et justicia
Fio vestri chalybs et vestri servus.
Ego fides qui omnis mea facina eris pro vestri bonus
Tanquam talis , ego animus certo illi quae sustineo vobis
Quae sustineo civitas futurus vestra civitas futurus tanquam a natio
Agricolum."
