Reality bites

"How does it feel to live in a 3rd world country?" an ex-filipino asked with a smile. i said, "well, Philippines a very good country. Welcome to the third world country. Welcome to world's Pearl of the Orient. With all the poverty crisis, we were still able to cope up with the so called "globalization". Yeah most of the time it's hard to live and just to stand by and that crimes are easily found in the city. but Filipinos have a very good heart. we are poor but we still love one another. we don't want want anyone of us to get hurt. We don't have big fonds to just spend for something unncessary. Because of war in Lebanon, many Filipinos have to suffer the consequences, anyone may die without any of their relatives knowing. But the goverment didn't let that thing happen. they evacuated a lot of Filipinos there. We Filipinos know how to prioritize. We know what to do forst. Because of poverty, because of being in a 3rd world country, we are determined to get over it. We are rich in love. We are determined to be a totally different country. We are rich in natural resources but because of love to our motherland, we decided to conserve and preserve it. but what did you do first world countries? the so called upper class? How does it feel to destroy and to own something that is not yours? " He stopped. have i annoyed him with my answer? or have i just made a good stand?

i believe.. optimism is a light in the dark room. with optimistic people around, we get a bigger chance of coping up.

This article wasn't my idea actually. Here are just realizations of what's the best way to get good grades and how to have a full long-term memory rather than having a sensory motor or short-term memory. Advices are made by our very own writer from the Philippines, Ms. Jessica Zafra. Ewan ko ba kung natagpuan nya na ang tinitibok ng puso nya. haha. what i know is that matalino siya. start na tayo? Ok, ganito yan, to others, nagsisimula na ang kalbaryo ng buhay eskwela, to others sa june 13 pa. sa iba naman ewan ko.

I can't stand you anymore!!!" In that case you will all need this good tips given by her. UNCUT VERSION (no add-ons) "How to get ridicoulously good grades in school and move on to a glorious

God wants to take to you. It's a magic that every 4.30am someone tries to wake me up. so surprised to find out that there is this "Christian" group who pray the rosary during that time. that thing is a prayer for world peace. but last tuesday, something weird happened. something made me wake up even when i have just slept for less than an hour. i was able to start the praying of the rosary. the Apostles Creed, one Our Father, 3 Hail Mary's, one Glory be, etc. i reached up to the 2nd mystery then unconsciously i have fallen asleep. I got a nightmare. the scene happened in front of t

Random 101

Inspired. No. I am not in love. Let's just say that I got inspired with what my mother told me. They are actually creepy stories and I can't believe that my father will be able to do such thing when I was a child. Even though our set of businesses are starting to fall one by one, he still managed to provide everything that i want. If only I know what is happening that time, I should've not tolerated him. The story my mother told me made me cry and it gave me the determination to push even harder. I know they expected a lot from me about taking up a business-related course and i failed them. But i'll prove them wrong. I reserved something better for them. And won't fail them this time. Not even a little. I won't tell what that creepy story was. I just want to remember that i got inspired with what my mother told me. When I look at this entry after some long years, still, I will remember what that creepy story was. Love. In relation to the first part, I just real
