thanks for the memories

thanks for the memories by fall out boy.

i find this song very very amusing. not just because of the music video, also because of the message it relays to everyone. it is saying that no matter how bad your experience with one person is, you should learn to appreciate what that person has done for you. even though that person hurt you emotionally or physically, you should still thank him/her.

listen to the song's message closely and you would know what i mean. he he.

this is nothing. i just like the song. it relates to what happened to me recently.

listening

am i a good listener?
this is the question that pops into my mind every time i hear the word listen. i understand listening by understanding what you hear from the speaker. i am more likely correct because of the reason that we discussed it in English one class last Tuesday.

ms. Siriban explained that when you listen you should do at least 5 things. these things are: receiving, understanding, remembering, evaluating, and responding. with this being the basis of being a good listener, i think i can say that i am a good listener. i can say this now, because, i always listen to problems, be it my friends or politic problems. i try and find solutions inside my head. and now that i know that some girls doesn't always want answers for their problems, i would just keep it to myself. i learned that from my professor in English one.

thanks ma'am.. :)

anyway, i know now that i am a good listener to problems. but i think that i can still improve my being a good listener by trying to look at the topic in the speakers point of view. i think that by doing that, i can also be more of a good speaker. i can still improve my listening skills and that i am but another person who wants to improve his listening and speaking skills. so, i would do anything to improve them.

anime frenzy

anime anime anime. so cool, they are. happy, they make me. all, i like. none, i hate.

ha ha. that was just to see if i can still do the Yoda grammar. ha ha. happy. anyway it is all about anime, this blog is(Yoda possessing me again!). anime's are just cartoons, that is what adults think, except for the special few who create the anime and the people who haven't lost their inner child in them. ha ha. funny, but the anime is really awesome to watch. you can still learn a lot of things by watching them.

animes have philosophical meaning in them. i guess you should watch it again and try and get the meaning. for example, FMA(Full Metal Alchemist) has a philosophy in it and it is alchemy. if alchemy existed now, we would have no problem with a lot of things. for example, using alchemy could solve the hunger problem around the world. that is one, war can be stopped and because of it, no more people would die for the sake of the greed of anybody.

i challenge you to find the philosophical meaning in every anime you watch. ha ha.

i just wanted to share this. ha ha. because it just suddenly came to my attention that it is cartoons, but they are cartoons that you can learn a lot from. although it shows a lot of violence, you will still learn a lot from them.

comparison of high school to college

it seems just like yesterday that we were all in one classroom sitting and waiting for the teacher to come in. ha ha. but i guess that those days are now over. it is time for us to move from one classroom to the other to attend class. anyway, that being said, i would like to reiterate that college is very very much different than high school.

i can say this now because we were 'spoon-fed' during our high school days and that they said that they were preparing us for college life, they failed. that is for me, i guess all my other classmates are doing fine in college and that i am the only one to be failing algebra and PE. this is really embarrassing for me to say but PE is easy, that is what i thought, until i met the topic in PE that made me fail. ha ha. a lot of things can happen in college. it wouldn't be nice if the professor is absent. unlike in high school. in high school when the teacher is absent, they would be a substitute teacher. in college you wouldn't have one. the prof will just get your attendance and it is your time already.

high school was fun, i admit, but for me, college is much better. in college you cant go around making a fool of yourself and being the 'boss' or 'siga'. although it is fun, you have a lot more responsibilities than in high school. you might meet enemies along your way and a lot of friends.

a word of advice to the incoming freshmen college, be friendly. don't be a snob and think you can make it through college without friends, you cannot. you are lucky if you find friends who stand by your side in good times and bad times. like my friends. ha ha. i love my friends in la salle. they are cool!

anyway, that's that. ha ha. i hope a lot of people who read this can follow the advice. well, i don't know if it will work for you, but it did for me. so i say it. ha ha.
