State of the Nation Address 2011

What about the S.O.N.A. 2011 ?

Hmmmmm....

I think it still has the same story as before. While Mr. Aquino, our president, delivers good news of developments regarding with our country, outside the Batasang Pambansa Hall were the people who decided not to listen to Aquino's speech and preferred to deliver their own speech and sentiments. For me that never help even a little. This people who only knows to rally here, rally there, blame this to him, blame this to there, you see, why not make a wiser move for the development of the country. Why not support the project and discuss the conflict matters in a nice way? If I were also the president I will not listen to those people who doesn't even care to respect or show a proper manner of communicating. They're reacting very angrily, it's like it's all the president's fault why Philippines is like this? Hello? He's not the only one in the government! See that caricature they made? They spent money for that just to burn it. I'm not pro- Noynoy, but for me, it's illogical move. If we want to solve a problem, there's a solution. All could be consider especially now, the president is open for any of that. Just be guided accordingly.

Well with regards of the very fashionable wears of the attendees last S.O.N.A., it was never new because they need to be presentable for once in a year event of the country. It's just, I wish that they could spend money also for charity works as big as they spend money for a one time gown.

And now for the president, I hope that the Lord will guide him. I'm seeing him now as a dedicated person unlike the past president. For the things he must improve I think, may he progress in terms of being firmed and well focus especially in times of unexpected scenarios. It's easy to say what to do in case of this or that but the  execution in actual is very different. May he have the best decisions for the country.   :)

The Filipino Values

Hey guys ! Did you know that it took me more than one day to finish this post? Honestly, I find it quite hard to express my thoughts about this topic. It was quite tough finding the right words about how I feel being one of the Filipinos. I just realize that we're really in deed rich in unique ideas, ethical practice, culture, and values. It is only in the Philippines you can find this things that make us different among other nations!

Let's concentrate discussing some Filipino Values:

                                               THE FILIPINO HOSPITALITY.

I think it's on our blood already. Wherever you go in the world there are also hospitable people you may find but ours is exceptional. We have this unique approach and treatment towards our visitors even to strangers. To the extent that we became food in the plate for the invaders hundreds of years ago and yet that value was never erase to our culture. I remember when I was small whenever we have a visitor, I am very happy! Because that is always the time my parents buy Jollibee or Mcdonalds for our guest! And that makes my day! :)

                                                     CLOSE FAMILY TIES

The family is very important to Filipinos. To the extent they only eat once a day, what matter is they were living together. Filipinos get strength to their families and this serves as an inspiration for them to work hard. And for the families' elders, many Filipinos avoid sending there elders to orphanages and just live them alone to the nurses. Here in Philippines, we have this payback time to our dear elders on all there sacrifice, love and care to us.

                                                           POLITENESS

Filipinos are in deed respectful individuals. Children were taught from their young age to respect elders by using "po" and "opo" when talking to elders. We are also taught of doing "mano po" to the elders to show respect. On other countries, they used to kiss their elders' hand or kiss them on their cheek. 

A lot of more values to discuss and these are only some of the things we always been proud of to everybody in wherever we may go. There are many negative critics against our race but if I will be given a chance to choose what nationality would I want to be, I will honestly still choose to be a Filipino because this is the best I can be and nowhere else. For me, NO ONE BEATS "PINOY".

"Regrets"

       As human, I believe that we are prone to mistakes and errors and that is because we all have limitations. Therefore for me, it’s normal to feel sorry or disappointed when we fail for something.  Well of course a normal person desires to be successful always right? But the thing is, many were having a problem on moving on from their regrets. Sometimes, I cannot blame them especially if they are regretting from committing a bigger mistake in their life. Because I know how that feels too. It’s more than missing “the half of your life”. Sometimes it feels like your life was taken by that mistake.  This is exactly why they feel sorry for it. They know the fact that they cannot bring back the time and change what just happened. And that’s the point!  The fact that we cannot bring back the time should be our lead why we have to move on. We could not change what just happened but we could change the future. We could do the right one, we could do the greater one and we could do the better one; the better you.  

I just realize now how great life is... It's really full of adventure. It's very challenging to me to face and conquer the hindrances along our way. I believe that everything happens for a reason. That's why for me, we could learn from our mistakes to achieve our goal. :)

Pet peeves :)

#1 on my list, I call it “The frustrated clown”.

I don’t get it why many girls especially the young ones need to put on too much make-up? So I wonder if they have mirrors with them, coz if they do, didn’t they saw their faces clearly? It’s so irritating to me to see those girls who use make-up badly but for them they look very beautiful by that. Ha! Ha! Too bad for them they don’t realize that they look like a frustrated clown. But you know guys you don’t really need to put on make-up just to be beautiful. It doesn’t help at all. Being simple is enough and that is the real beauty for me.

#2 “The living smoke belcher"

I had been for some scenarios that I insist my right as human being against with those people who seems to be almost a vehicle muffler for taking cigarettes on public places. There is one day while on my way home I was riding on a bus, sitting just before the driver. Then suddenly he took out his lighter and fired up his one stick of cigarette.  Ironically, somewhere on the upper right of his windshield, there was a sticker saying “NO SMOKING” then a sited law under the warning. Because he has a sticker, I decided to speak up and I told him to “please drop it sir, that’s now prohibited on this kind of place”. Will you believe what he just answered me? He said, “Well, sorry for you, I’m hungry!” Can you just imagine that? What’s the connection if you’re hungry then you smoke? You could even eat biscuits if you’re hungry while driving right? But to smoke?! What the- ?!  So I argue with him! Luckily there is another passenger who conformed on my side so he was obliged to drop his cigarette. HA! HA! HA! I won there!

The second time I encountered a muffler was on the jeep. I pretend to be one of the law enforcer of banning the smoking in the city. Well incidentally I was from a client meeting so I was dressed up like an official. I took pictures of the smoking driver and I made it sure that he is aware by using my cam’s flash so that he will know. Then I speak out, “Please drop that cigarette, its prohibited sir”.  So I guess you know already what the guy did. HA! HA! HA!

 They don’t care to others at all! There must be no issue at all if we are not affected by their vice, but too bad for us because base on some studies, it has worst effect on our side compared to them.

And my last one for now, “The PDA stars” (Public Display of Affection).

May I say excuse me to those lovers who will find to read my blog, I have no against with anyone of you guys. I honestly respect the way you want to express your love and affection to each others. What only annoys’ me are the things that some people can’t hide from others eyes. I mean, there’s no wrong to be in love. But what is wrong is the no limit of affection especially when you lovers were dating outside. Considering that you were still in a public place for instance, I think we should consider that it is a PUBLIC’S place. It consists of different people from the old ones especially to the children who could be affected or be curious on what you guys were doing! I think freewill is not given to us because its sense is to do whatever you want but its sense is for everyone to feel free to do what is good. That’s the logical thing for me. Please don’t get me wrong, I do know how it feels to be with your especial someone. But don’t be a PDA star please! Or else... grrrrrr...

That’s all for now! Thanks for reading!  Peace out! J
