NSTP camping...

normally this blog entry is about the recent happenings in our NSTP class. i never thought that camping can be a lot of fun. ha ha ha. i guess, i never experienced the things that happened in our camping. by the way, a lot of things happened. a lot that none of you may know. he he he.

a lot of things changed. i think one of the changes would be the 'opening' of my third eye, so to say. you want to know what happened? well, sorry for you, but until the moon turns to cheese, I'm not gonna tell. just that the opening of my third eye was a blast. who would've thought that a lot of things where happening under our noses and we don't even know what they are.

as i told in my earlier paragraphs, a lot happened during camp. i was told by a friend of mine that what i am doing was wrong, so i started to change the way i think about things in life. do unto others what you want others to do unto you. this statement used to be nothing to me. i always think that, i do things for others because i want to, and not because i wanted them to do it to me too. i just found out that my friends treat me the way i treat them, and, sad to say, i have been very neglectful about that. SORRY! i am sorry for my Friends who never fail to help me with my problems. Bosconians, i love you all. and for my friends in La Salle now, thank you very much.. and, i love you as much as i love my bosconian friends. (cheesy, but it is true). Nicol, Zyrille, Myco, thanks for everything you have done for me.

i learned a lot of things too in this camp. little about saint La Salle but a lot about my perspective in life. friends can become best friends in a matter of minutes, friends can become enemies, people can act like a fool in front of other people, people try and pretend that they are your friend but in reality, they are not.


bitin, my Saturday night was completely ruined by a person who i think has never been loved before. poor man, but what are we to do but follow the people in charge of our 'well-being'. funny how other people think you are doing something when you are not doing anything at all. accusation is never a good thing. i try to laugh about a lot of things in life, and i think that i would just want to laugh about this, too. even though i really am taking it seriously.

amazing, isn't it, that even how much tired you are, you still find time with your friends to laugh about something in the past. like what we did last Saturday night, before it was cut short.

all in all, the camping of NSTP was great. especially the river trekking. that was fun. plus the 'ghost-hunting', even though it was never part of the real camp agenda. ha ha. that is the reason why i feel so tired and sleepy. but, even though it was tiring, staying up and all that, i wont regret the things i did in camp.

this is already a long blog entry so maybe I'll stop, or maybe not. he he he. stopping..


*resisting the urge to type more things*:)

comments please...

taking it off...(masks)

'nothing is the matter with me.' he said giving out a faint sigh.'

'are you sure that nothing is bothering you?'

'yes! honestly, i am not sad. i am happy!'

this is an example of two friends talking over lunch or drinking soft drinks in the cafeteria. what else would you ask for when your friend says 'honestly...'. nobody in the world would know if he/she is saying the truth or the person is just lying to you to mislead you.except maybe if that friend of yours already knows you well enough to know that he/she is just pretending.

if everybody just told the truth about their real status in life, if they are truly happy or just pretending to be, their would be no web of lies. am i right if i say that almost everyone has lied at least ten times in their whole existence in this world. be it a white lie or not. in case you don't know, a white lie is a lie that you say to a friend when you don't want to hurt his/her feelings. it may seem like it isn't a lie but still, it is a lie.

if nobody told lies, nobody would have misunderstandings. don't get me wrong, i have told my share of lies. more than a lot of you. but, enough about me, i want you to know that no matter how much you lie, the truth will still come out. however deep you have kept it. if you don't believe me, think of the past things you have done, what you have told your friends. the stuff you boast about, are they all true? nonetheless no one can say that you are lying or not. we discussed that in our intro com subject. unless you perform 'leakages'. at least now i know that i am truly learning something.

now, about the masks earlier in this blog entry, i mentioned it because masks is very common nowadays to young people. you wear different kinds of masks. when you are with friends, you wear a mask, when your with relatives you also wear a mask. nowadays, masks are becoming our faces. sad to say, but nobody is being true to himself or herself.

now, masks are very helpful when pretending. let me use my earlier example for closing my blog entry.

'something is the matter with me. but i cant quite point my finger to it.' accompanied by a big sigh.

'you should talk to a friend, if you don't want to talk to me. at least you trust me as a friend to tell me the truth.'

'anyway, thanks.'

*after some weeks*

'hi there. thanks for your advice the other week. i appreciated it a lot'

'oh, your welcome, my pleasure to help you. did you get to solve your problem?'

'actually, i did talk to a friend, and she told me to just be true to my feelings.'

'ow, it was a love problem, i see.'

'and now, being true to myself, and not wanting to mislead you to the wrong thing, here i am saying i love you to you.'

relationship..reason..

i love.. they love.. we love.. everybody loves..

he he he.. nothing, just popped into my head that what if nobody told anybody how they felt about them? this would be a very very sad place. that is why, i think, love shouldn't be kept from the person that you love.

who would agree to me that everybody, even the priests, at some point in time, loved somebody? i believe that no one is capable of not loving. nobody here can tell me that they have never loved before, even the people who say that they never had a boyfriend or a girlfriend. maybe, those people who are saying that is very secretive. i admit loving is full of heartaches and hardships but the thought of someone liking you for what you are is what love is all about, isn't it?

hardships, heartaches and problems occur when you love, nobody can have the perfect relationship. arguing with your boyfriend/girlfriend would be the way for your relationship to get stronger and even better. nobody can have a relationship without hardships and troubles.

i say to you now, whatever happens in life, happens for a reason. for example, there is a reason why you are reading this blog entry of mine, which sucks by the way, and a reason why later, after reading this, you would give a comment for this blog. the same goes with love, love has different ways of revealing itself. for example, there is a person that you met through text, you think it is just fun and games when suddenly he/she texts you saying 'i love you'. you think for about a day or two and you realize, just for fun, to pretend to love that person back. and after several days, weeks, months, you forget why you even agreed to being his/her lover. then, you tend to break up with the person and you end up hurting that person more and more with each passing day. this happens to you, having the thought of his/her condition, because you are the person to teach him/her how to let go. it is hard, yes, but God works in mysterious ways. nobody knows what He has planned for us.

a lot of people would say that they are the master of their lives and that no one can tell them otherwise. i tell those people now, when you begin to love someone, you tend to forget that you are master of your life. you will be like being hypnotized and sooner or later will fall so hard for the wrong person and, may i add, get hurt in the process.

again, this are just random thoughts inside my head. letting them out little by little. ha ha ha... fun for me...

never again

never again.. strong words.. even stronger if kept. i never thought that i would say this but i guess i am fed up with all the shit that is happening in my life. he he. never again will i be looking for someone to be mine. if they want, they will come. that is what i am sure of. you may call me what you want. call me boastful, but i believe that whoever is meant for you will come to you, no matter what happens.

the other day, when i was sitting alone on my bed, i realized that a lot can happen during my time here on earth. so, to make my dreams-to find my soul mate or whatever-a reality i asked for a sign from God. that sign was for someone to tell me the words i wanted to hear. nobody knows what that is so, whoever says that to me, will be the right one for me.

i will no longer be in a hurry in search for the right person for me. i would take my friend's advice. to not be in a hurry falling in love, it will come. that was what she said. it made me think, what if nobody ever said that? what if, the right person for me, is with another guy? what if..

what can really happen in the next years to come? i could die tomorrow or the day after that. i could be taken by aliens. (exaggerated :p). but it is true, nobody knows what can happen in the future. life is about making decisions and if you knew what your life is going to be, that isn't what you call a life. that is called being controlled. being controlled by your own self interest. he he. okay okay, i know i am not making any sense here but i hope you get my idea. he he.

blogging blogging blogging.. i got out of my topic.. didn't i? anyway, i just love writing about anything i can think of. he he.

P.S. nget, thanks.. :p

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.

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.

..why am i in school..

i am in school because i like to learn new things and meet new friends while i'm at it. in school i am also being prepared to become a responsible human being. i go to school for my parents who love me so much and i go because they want me to have a good future. but, i tell you now, even if they do not ask me to go to school i will surely insist them to enrol me for school. i dont know why but i like learning new things.

i am studying, like what i said earlier, to be prepared of what is ahead of me in the near future. i also have the task to handle our family business when everyone else is too old and cranky to continue handling it. i take studying as a burden for me, but i shouldnt be taking it for granted, should i? i know a lot of kids in the world doesnt have the privelage to go to school like i do and now that i realize it, i wouldnt like to have some hindrance from me and my school. this is because, i like my school very muh. here, i can talk to my friends and ask for there help in some things i do not know about.

i also like DLSU-canlubang because it is surrounded by trees and green stuff which is calming and a very nice studying place.

this is why i go to school. although not all my answers are direct to the point, i guess you could understand.

philosophy

...philosophy...

philosophy is a revolutionary and vitally important for a good life.

philosophy comes from two Greek words namely, 'philos' meaning love and 'sophia' meaning wisdom. in short it means love of wisdom. but it is wisdom that results from the pursuit of knowledge of the most important parts of reality.

philosophy has 10 commandments,, which are the following:

1. allow the spirit of wonder to flourish in your breast.
2. doubt every claim you encounter until the evidence convinces you of its truth.
3. love the truth
4. divide and conquer
5. collect and construct
6. conjecture and refute
7. revise and rebuild
8. seek simplicity
9. live the truth
10. live the good

Plato is one of the important philosophers who ever lived. he was the first one to write systematically on the philosophical subjects

Socrates is one of the most impressive human beings to have lived, and a paradigm of a philosopher.
