The Dirty Truth
People are mostly self-absorbed by the norms of what they believe in and what could save their face. Saying things only to glorify nothing but themselves. After trying to understand the difference of truth and lie. I realized that both are synonymous and could go hand in hand. While lying is supposedly to contradict the truth but then again, people say it to deny the truth that could possibly put them on the edge. So why is truth so special?
When someone tells you something you don't agree on. You tend to create your own truth to contradict what the other person said. It could go on and on just so you can defend yourself. Another example would be you told someone a lie and the lie was the truth to the other person. Confusing. Maybe we just have to get rid of looking closely to every details. The self-absorbed nature of a person only depends on their intention on why they said that but mostly to save their own butt.
There is no absolute truth. You justify your own truth and in the end, it doesn't really matter. Life is less complicated when you just let the words be and don't let it affect you cause it might be the truth or a lie. Who knows? While if you let it affect you, it will drain you eventually.
The truth is painful but it's better to be comforted by it than twisted words that will confuse your head.

My Course, My Pride
I was tired in doing my entrep31 project and decided to lay down and look at my cellphone for messages that is when I read a text that my essay was chosen as the winner of the said essay contest. I'm thrilled. The prize for the said contest is to feature the author with the essay into the next issue of TEC and a cash prize. Not bad for a beginner, ayt? hehe.
Here is my official essay entry:
Business for me can be viewed in two ways, based on “necessity” or by “passion”. I have been a witness of my parents’ dedication in putting and keeping up our business. Both of my parents were not business degree holders but they simply showed the ‘passion’ for doing the business without the knowledge of business theories but remained successful to give us our ‘necessities’. They refer this as “luck”. Before I finalized my decision to take up ‘Business Administration’ some people would say, ‘Business need not to be studied because the only teacher is through experience’ and I know for a fact that they have a point.
Business is a highly competitive industry. Every corner is a proof that in every advertisement there is a group of people wanting to make more profits. There is a sense of being ‘ambitious’ in taking up a business course that makes me want to learn where it all began and the first step is taking up a business related course.
Upon entering the classroom in a four cornered chamber room lays the future executives and movers of the industry. Like me, I wanted to learn about business in order to gain control over my financial fate and, more important, as the heir of the business that I will soon take over as I graduate. I want to make it clear that I was not forced to take up business, it is a personal choice. I realized I was going to embark on a journey with people who want to make it ‘big’ someday.
Businessmen need ‘connections’ which maybe their primary task in business and being good in public relations. I met people who are both ‘intellectual and emotionally intelligent’ those who are capable to learn to equip themselves with knowledge in preparation for the real battle outside the premises of the University.
In the rise of recession, I was enrolled in a business course. I soon acknowledge the fact that I could be an instrument for our country’s development. After all business is everywhere we just need another great concept to turn everything pleasant.
My professor once said, “Business is both a sport and war”. Eventually we will all be a competition on one another and I believe there no such term as “monopoly” in business right now. There is what we called “innovation”.
I did, however, know that Businessmen appeared to be taking over the world. All of which is bringing us the experience how they ran banks, businesses and, even countries with the prospect of economic enlightenment before us.
Lastly, I have no doubt that being a part of Business Administration is nothing but relevant to my future and that my real passion is Business.
We’ll get dirty, but you’ll see, we’ve learn.

loss of life
When we speak of death, it is the total and permanent cessation on all living organisms or simply, the person stopa breathing. Here's the thing, everybody dies because death is something that we can't hide from nor deny. The fact that we are still breathing today makes me think. "What are we here for?" this is the reason why Rick Warren wrote his book "The Purpose Driven Life". I read that book around 3 years ago and after reading the book I am still the same person before reading the book. Sadly, I was not moved by it maybe because my mindset 3 years ago does not reflect on what the book was trying to tell me.
"Death is inevitable" - we used that line in our radio commercial weeks ago and I can't help but not to forget that line because it was simple but very real. When I think about that line, I was thinking not to make anymore efforts in living since everyone is going to die in the end. But I was very foolish enough to think about that. A man is born hungry with what life has instore for him. He works hard. Conquer every fear. Make sins. But in the end, he can't carry his money in his grave nor his achievements. When he dies, he leaves. Family and friends mourn for the death making him the best human in the world. After all the attention, they slowly moved on thinking that they should live their life as well. All I know is that when you believe in God then life has a purpose. "People are people" a clothing line that talks nothing more about being mortal.
I guess, life is too short to be wasted. Benigno S. Aquino died for his belief that "Filipinos are worth dying for", Criminals die because of their faults, Suicide bombers die because he thinks that dying for his religion makes him a hero. While people who commit sucide makes it unfair for those who are terminally ill and fights for every air they can inhale. Life is unfair. So what's the point in living? You answer your own question.
After our finance class. My friends and I stayed in the classroom discussing about satanic acts, chips, and the end of the world. I was enlightened about our discussion because it makes sense that we understand that everything is temporary and that our life should be made up for God since he is the sole purpose of our existence.
As a Christian, we know that John 3:16 is the answer to our salvation. Fear not of death but to embrace it as a part of life. As one quotation says, "Don't take life too seriously, no one gets out from it alive".
So, have fun!

to unwine
My mom called and asked if I want to go to HK with them. Of course, I said "YES". We will have a break for a week (Intramurals Week) which means I can go with them and can't help it but to get excited even if this is the fourth time that i'll be on HK. Nevertheless, it's still a vacation and my mom insists to go there even if I told her to go to Beijing instead. So, i'm now in the preparation mode for Aug. 25.
This was a stressful week. I want to get away from this. Hong Kong might help. :)

room for tears
I could not help my tears and excuse myself in the crowd. Crying is supposed to be done in isolation. You want to see yourself in the mirror not holding back a tear and finding yourself almost hysterical. There are times that you want to reach out to others but we must accept the fact that you don't own their time.
But trust me with this. You want the pain to cleanse you, renew your thoughts and understanding. Crying alone is not that bad just don't grab a rope or a knife.
I know this is a weird post. I did cry a moment ago and decided to write something about crying.

scared.
In most instances, I usually go with the flow because I thought if I may not please everyone I might as well not give someone a headche over pride. My principle here is not to hurt anyone verbally, if I can. I still don't consider myself as a nice girl even if majority of the people I knew says so. People who don't know me would see me as someone intimidating than nice.
Enough is enough.
Some of my early realizations was "If you can't control others mouth, you can control yourself or at least don't lose your composure". Yes. That realization is confusing to others yet very clearly laid in my mind.
Never felt this scared. -that was my facebook status.
I am not giving up. I honestly need something like this to slap me in my face. People have unconsciously hurt me verbally and I want to change this. The sad part here is that I already did but I let go. So now I am holding on to this burden almost half a year now.
I just wanna say, "you will regret what you said". :)

smarter than grade one
I did repeat grade one and I met "criticizm" at an early age. One recess time, I was looking at the bulletin board because I was trying my best to learn and be knowledgable around the campus when a guy passed behing my back to whisper to me "You're so dumb!". I was shaking with anger and told myself that I won't let anyone belittle me again.
Things have changed, though I must confessed that I am no math wiz. I think I have proven myself that even if I am not academically smart, but I am knowledgable in areas that are more important than algrebra.
The lesson here is negative criticizm can be constructive but it barely depends on us.

a lonely battle
The control over oneself and how easily it fell off from my tongue. It's almost a year now and things aren't smooth though freedom dominates, my humanly behavior wins. I had always believe that money won't come short for me. My parents worked hard for our benefit and we can live for years without an empty wallet. All I have to do is to take care of myself, be responsible to my siblings and never fail them as a payment for years of luxurious living though I'd rather choose simplicity my decision doesn't matter because I need to live up for what I have and how to make it work.
I had a bad morning. I woke up feeling all the pain in my back and clogged with yesteday's excess of junk. I turned off my alarm clock and slept. I missed three of my subjects this morning respectively. Regret is not in my vocabulary right now because I had so much of it for the past months. I'd rather not care. I wrote something in my notebook because I want to list down my school attendance. Honestly, I can't be absent again and making a letter to our chairman for re-admission to class scares me. I am pretty sure that I should be making one but fate is being nice to me because I am spiritually present in class which makes me ecstatic. I can't afford to be absent again, I repeat.
I grabbed a pack of skyflakes, a bottle of fit n right and later a couple of crackers in my room eating it like forever. I ran towards my closet to prepare what to wear for sembreak, for my friend's arrival and for the coming days. I felt horrible looking at myself in the mirror. I just want to starve myself just to make things right at the moment. Today, I have 25 days to shrink. I can honestly say that I can't forgive myself if I look horrible in the pictures this coming September. There is no excuse now. I already have a game plan and my exercise is very light because I hate meeting my former trainer at the gym. All I have to do is execute things well in my plan. I have to endure looking at my friends eating all those heavenly fare while I seat down with them breathing air and keeping my compsure while people staring at me. Good thing I won't pay anything not even a corkage fee for breathing air. All I need now is be mindful of following my plans and be in control of myself. I want to be back to my old self that I worked hard for. I believe with determination I'll get there. I will do whatever I can for September 4 and beyond that.
Oh, I hate how my unform fits me.

a modern hero
"The Candle of my life"
Lit, Light, Melt, Mold to Light Again
This poem of Ninoy was part of an old newspaper that I have excavated from the shelf in the office. One of the collections of by previous boss who was diagnosed with bone and lung cancer but died through cardiac arrest after recuperating from his chemo.
So short, so simple, yet the thoughts piercing through the deepest nerve of our hearts and the bones of the tyrants.
Showcased patriotism, fight for freedom and liberty from oppression and tyranny.
The love, hope and aspirations. Not only because the a candle can light the darkest night but most of all after being melted the hope to be molded again to light the dark never perish.
I am burning the candle of my life
in the dark with no one to benefit
from its light,
The candle slowly melts away
soon its wick will be burned out,
and the light is gone!
If someone will only gather
the melted wax, reshape it,
give it a new wick
for another fleeting moment
my candle can once again
light the dark
be of service
one more time
and then
Good-bye

The real corpse of Michael Jackson

The Dance

"CONSCIOUSNESS EXPRESSES ITSELF THROUGH CREATION. THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN IS THE DANCE OF THE CREATOR. DANCERS COME AND GO IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, BUT THE DANCE LIVES ON. ON MANY OCCASSION WHEN I AM DANCING, I FELT TOUCHED BY SOMETHING SACRED. IN THOSE MOMENTS, I FELT MY SPIRIT SOAR AND BECOME ONE WITH EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS.
I BECOME THE STARS AND THE MOON. I BECOME THE LOVER AND THE BELOVED. I BECOME THE VICTOR AND THE VANQUISHED. I BECOME THE MASTER AND THE SLAVE. I BECOME THE SINGER AND THE SONG. I BECOME THE KNOWER AND THE KNOWN. I KEEP ON ANCING... THEN IT IS THE ETERNAL DANCE OF CREATION. THE CREATOR AND THE CREATION MERGE INTO ONE WHOLENESSOF JOY. I KEEP ON DANCING...AND DANCING...AND DANCING. UNTIL THERE IS ONLY... THE DANCE."

Michael Jackson still alive? *updated version

I have questions about his death.
Where are his dead pictures? so far I only saw one and it was said that it was someone who went into surgery to look like him and was terminally ill.
Where is Dr. Conrad Murray? He's with Michael until his death though he promised an interview there is no interview available yet.
Why does the second autopsy result takes several weeks to come out? There isno difference with the first autopsy and the toxicology result. He has several physical tests before his concert and he was fit to do the concert. Michael is very health conscious about his health and has a medical team. So why die all of a sudden?
When is his funeral? It seems like they don't have any plans of burying him.
Articles are sprawing but television news is not touching that news yet. In fact, say sources in a position to know, the superstar faked his death to escape the crushing pressures of life in a fishbowl -and he is now socked away in an undisclosed location in Eastern Europe – possibly Hungary – far from the clamor and commotion of paparazzi and reporters covering his “autopsy” and “funeral” in southern California.
Another says the singer has been planning this for a year-and-a-half and is now in hiding in eastern Europe. However, there is no proof to back these claims, reports the Sun. Another site has released a photo it claims is of Jackson, insisting that the man who died on Thursday was the singer's body double with a terminal illness whose family will be looked after in return and in the strangest twist of all, say the insiders, once he's rested and ready, Jackson, 50, will blow the lid off his own hoax - and embark on the most spectacularly lucrative concert tour in the history of rock 'n' roll.
"Michael is following in the footsteps of a man he greatly admired - another rock icon, Elvis Presley, who also faked his death and is still alive, and in hiding, today," William Stern, who has written extensively on Presley, told me exclusively."Unlike Elvis, however, Michael is withdrawing from his celebrity before it destroys him. And he also is planning, once he has rested and regrouped, to stage a comeback unlike anything in rock history. (Remember Michael married Elvis' daughter).
Stern’s sources say Jackson has been planning his escape for at least 16 months, but nobody, not even those who are closest to him, took him seriously, the expert said, “until now.”
“It’s unclear where he has gone – he mentioned South America, Canada, Russia, Kenya, Japan and Australia over the past year … all smokescreens, no doubt,” continued Stern.
“The best information I have suggests he is in Eastern Europe, in a medieval castle, possibly in Hungary. Right now, my sources are saying, ‘Leave him alone. Let him rest. Give him time.’ “They say that fans can help him recover by showing their love and respect for him. They say, ‘You better believe he is watching all the coverage.’ And they say fans can give Michael a boost by flashing peace signs to cameras – like he was famous for doing – and telling reporters they know he is alive.’”
"Make no mistake, Jackson is a genius, both as a performer and as and showman and marketer and promoter. Remember when he made an offer to buy the remains of The Elephant Man from a British museum just to get the publicity?
"Remember when he reputedly was trying to find a way to live forever by spending hours in a hyperbaric chamber? "If you look at his history, at some of the stunts he's pulled to keep himself in the public eye, to maintain a sense of mystery about who he is and what he's all about, the idea that he would fake his death makes sense.
"Let's face it - Michael has been vilified by many in the press and by people who just don't like him. He's been accused of pedophilia. He's been called 'Wacko Jacko' and a 'Pop Weirdo'.
"Yes, he's got billions of fans. Yes, he's sold perhaps a billion records and CDs. But for all the love he gets, there are those who have been and continue to be unkind, and mean-spirited. I'll make you a bet. If it takes six months, if it takes a year, if it takes two years, it doesn't matter: When he's rested and ready, and pulls the curtain up on his faked death, the world is going to stand
still.
"With all due respect to the President of United States, Michael on a 'Back from the Dead Tour' will make Barack Obama look like a B-List celebrity."

a response : to NY rep. salacious statement
My response:
Michael Jackson is a public figure. Everyone wants anything there is to know about him especially his sudden death. Although everyone has the right to freedom of speech, it is a very sensitive thing to judge a person you don't even know personally. He was free from those charges, and "money" is the main objective of his accusers.
He finds joy in children and helping many charities. He said that he never had a childhood and by seeing children having fun which he never experienced makes him happy. He was awarded the Guiness Book of Records Award of 'most charities supported by a Pop Star'. After all his concert proceeds donated to charities, I don't think he'll be that dumb to be sexual with those young boys.
I saw a Youtube video about Michael explaining to the public about his 1993 molestation charges. He was given a warrant to allow them to photograph his 'private parts' or else he will be charged as guilty. He allow them to take pictures and was not satisfied so they took more photos. He let them do this because on the child's statement the child said that he saw white blotches on his 'private parts'. (Michael Jackson had vitiligo, a skin disease) Even if it was very humiliating for him, he still did it just to prove the public that he is not guilty. Poor Michael, he don't deserve all those charges.

Michael Jackson: spotlight and fire
There was an auction of his things on 'Neverland' by Julie Auction House' but they were not pushed through because he filed for a law suit stating that those were "priceless and irreplacebale". He was right. 21 items were sold before his death but 'Julien Auction House' claimed that it was his friends collection but the friend denied allegations.

the desire
I had many realizations as usual, that whatever pain that is taking place right now is because of us. We are the one's who control of the pain and happiness that we feel. I just want to enjoy my 3rd year that no regrets will haunt my peaceful mind. I know I am capable of being a happy and contented person and that is what I am going to do.
Even if I am already in college I hate how I am still thinking about high school too much. Like the way I should have looked in high school, my mistakes, the things I should have done, the memories that will last, and lastly, the guy I have been missing so much..
While I am taking my time here in Manila I was looking at people thinking who his friends be and even who the girl he might like here. This sounds so insane. I know. But I can't help it.
He said, he's just a text away. So I did the most couragous thing I can do. But I failed.
I want to live right now, using the time that I have. My vision will take place.
For sure, I am not dying any soon.

A hate day.
Oh well. I had been staying in Gensan for 2 weeks already. Days are quite fast I wonder if there have been drastic changes. Goals are goals.
I already packed my things for my Manila trip today.
Anyway, I hate how people bother me with questions. I think that's why I am a girl because if I were a boy I would probably become a husband and most likely stabbed a nagging wife.
Some things you wish you never did to me:
1. Don't ask me questions like, "where are you?", "Where are you going?", "Have you eaten?", "What will you do later?".
This annoys me like big time.
2. Don't ever try to ask me who's my crush.
3. Don't force me to eat something.
4. Don't ask me, "tumaba ka lagi?" or same thing as "pumayat ka lagi?".
Oh well. trust your common sense. damn it!
5. Don't tell me to "take care of myself".
I am old enough to do it. Thank YOU!
A hate day special from me :)
I am nice, trust me.

love & lies.
It's already 3 am in the morning. I am at my sister's laptop typing while at the living room they are still discussing the 2 year-old issue about the"forbidden love".
Though, I will try my best to explain things in the most brief manner.
A relative (maternal side) is drop dead in love with a cousin of mine (paternal side)
see how things got complicated.
People are trying their best not to be involve in this matter. But the moral lesson here is you can't force yourself to love somone who currently has a boyfriend and that the girl's parents disapprove of you. While your sister can't handle the embarrassment it might bring.
If your really smart, OPEN your eyes to the reality.
my sister's are hurting.

Thinking positively.
I had a lazy day. as usual.
My summer vacation is getting bored and realized that plans change since I was planning to do speech and driving lessons. Though the driving lessons will push through with my uncle. My uncle insisted that I need not to learn how to drive manually because I know how to drive the automatic one since it's nothing like a toy car anyway.
Anyway, I am going to Manila this April 20.
My life will change from this moment. Speaking of law of attraction.
I can feel it :)

a long day.
For the first time, I went out from our house since I arrived in General Santos City. My dad and my siblings went to a drug test center as a requirment for my sis and bro's non-professional driving license. Next stop, LTO (Land Transportation Office) for our license. My license turned from a student permit to a non-profressional one. weee! I need to practice more or else my license is as good as nothing.
We went to the DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) for the renewal of our useless passport because I haven't travelled abroad since 2007. Anyway, I hope we won't go somewhere this December I really wanted to go to this year's Alumni Homecoming. I will trade anything for that reunion. I miss everyone. :)
After the drive thru @ Jolibee, we went home and saw my uncle since he arrived this morning.
Story telling:
We actually chatted last night for a very long time. I wonder if we'll see each other this summer. I need to preapare, and I need to suffer a bit.
I miss going to the gym. :( I think I will go to the gym as a commitment starting this May. I know a lot of my friends going back to the gym already.
Quote of the day:
"Success was never permanent, but failure was never the end".
I saw this quote while waiting for my turn in the DFA office from a guy at the back of this shirt. Well, Is God telling me something? I hope everything will be back to it's place soon. My sister said, "Chi, if I were you, ma-igo ko ana ba."
Well, I am. hehe
