The [Whereabouts]

2nd part of the three parts What I Love and hate about the Philippines and its Countrymen i am typical not so young citizen of the Philippines. of my 19 years of living and staying here, I am proud of what the Philippines has. We are trich in natural resources, we have a lot of toursit spots, the location is good for agriculture and the same. in short, we don't need the help of other countries. of what we have, it is enough to provide employment among the Filipinos. We know how to conserve and protect the mother nature and uses it for good cause. Our land is also home of the champions. We always try to stand out in everything. Just hours ago, Manny Pacquiao won the main event in boxing held in Las Vegas, Nevada and has made the Philippines shine again. Days ago, the future Efren "Bata" Reyes won the World pool event and Gretchen Malalad got the gold medal in Karate held in Korea. Everyone can sing and can play the guitar and the piano without being taught how to in a spec...

First part November 13, 1987, at exactly 1.30am, a healthy good looking boy was born. that is when i become a member of the world. three days ago, i already turned nineteenand i really feel that i am really getting older. school is ending. a new career will start. my birthday gave me this overwhelming feeling that really lifted my spirit. i received a lot of letters, sms, calls, testimonials, tags, and also material things. my mother bought me a laptop while my dad changed the furtinure in my lil room. i told myself that i really have to study better now. no guts, no glory. with hardwork, there comes success. but it's not always how hard you work that leads you to a successful life. most of the time, it is how smart you work. my college friends sent sms greetings and letters. Msg to my dear friends: of course, i promise forever friendship. i love you all. and if ever you leave but feels like going back after a long time, go back where you left me. i am still there. you all know how...

yesterday, when i was about to go home, a lot of things came up and i really feel like sharing it. well, i really don't mind to be called, "hey, nurse Aaron!" or "oh, yes brother james!". it's kinda irritating but i just laugh at it. today, i wanna start sharing all i know. for maybe just a split of a second i will forget everything. i dunno. because yesterday when i came back to mensa to take another iq test, i got shocked with the result. just a year ago, my iq level is 143. yes, 143. it may seem like a joke but really, i am serious. now, it's only 116. i just realized that oh, i am starting to forget some theories. maybe some part of my life too. i really do not know what is happening to me. but since a year and a half, i will already get a degree from this health course that i am currently taking, i wanna start doing my job. not just as a nurse but as a consultant too. haha. when taking food supplements, don't take a drug that just contain one vi...

and i am back to school. yeah. and it's cool because i am still a nursing student. but how did i survuved the previous term break? i admit, what i had is the most boring of all. didn't go anywhere. boredom striked more than it can ever be. here's my thing: "Sometimes when you are used to being busy it's not a problem anymore. the only thing that you get irritated is how to budget the time. but, if you are enjoying what you are doing, time isn't a problem anymore. sleepless nights doesn't matter anymore. then if you got nothing to do all of a sudden, it's much more a big problem. how will you spend your whole day? your whole week? and the next weeks? sleeping till the sun set again? or watching TV not for enjoyment but just to spend the next hours with nothing to do? " yesterday was my last day to stay with boredom. I looked at my room and it's like a forest. i looked under the bed and it's like an ancient world. saw fossils. get a seed and ...

Conversation: i started to sleep at around 2 am i had some sensible talk with my high school friend. she still has class actually. haha. that is why we decided to end the conversation and then go to sleep. what have we talked about? it's some realization that we are already getting older. haha. yeah Emem: congrats ha, pumasa ka pala. galing ako sa blog mu kanina. Me: ha? haven't i told you i passed? huhu. naku, sorry if not ha. (...) Me: Grabe, 2 years from now pala gagraduate na tayo. napakabilis. haha. napakaimmature ko pa. Emem: yeah, grabe ako nga tampula pa rin ng tukso kasi isip bata pa ako Me: eh grabe, tapos mag-aapply na tayo ng trabaho. di ku pa nakikita sarili ko jan. haha Emem: parang napakadaling magdesisyon noh? ung cousin ko para kelan lang sabay kami nangarap then ngaun nagpakasal na sya. i can't imagine myself getting married at the age og 18 Me: naku, wag muna. kelangan lahat tayo successful na bago tayo gumawa ng pamilya. pero ang weird noh? the next thin...

"anu ka ba? ang tali-talino mo tapos natatakot ka na baka bumagsak ka. eh ano pa kaya kami?" this is what my classmates tell me whenever i told them that this might be my last semester as a student nurse. to tell, i am not intelligent. maybe i just know how to use the gift of gab to look a wise one. :) i am a bittered student at first but i do not stand for my right. i do certain things because i want people to be proud of me especially those who are close to my heart. i don't wanna meet failures. i hate to see them sad. worried. at least for some short span of time sana, mapakita ko sa kanila na i will have a pretty good life. the truth, i don't wanna live a life where i can almost have everything. --- last night, we had an overnight. that was right after our finals for community health nursing 1. this will be our last time to be together as a group. we had some picture taking and some studio shots before we go the resort of my classmate. we wore our school uniform i...

when do you know you are already in love? and when do you know that it's only friendship that the other side can offer? here are the questions of life i always ask to myself and perhaps you too keep on aking. A friend sent a GM (group msg) asking "pa'no mo sasabihin sa isang tao na mahal mo siya pero di siya iiwas sa iyo? (how can you tell to a person that you are inlove with him/her without that person moving away?). here is my answer: parting from you is a consequence of the reality game called love. there should be always timing. love can wait. there is always right time. you don't have to hurry so you dont have to worry. haha. corny one. in friendship especially in my situation, it is very easy for me to develop my feelings to a girl when we started to get close. then teasing follows. it aches ten times more that she is telling you about her boyfriend. i got this happy feeling when my friend told me the she and her boyfriend get separated. alas i can have my move. ...
