Mahirap Maging Mahirap (Part II) - Education? A right or a Priviledge?

Nakaupo ako ngayon sa harap ng computer dito sa San Marcelino, Manila.
Gumagawa ako ng Lesson Plan at magpapaprint ng visual aids na gagamitin ko sa pagtuturo bukas sa lima kong klase, maya maya lang ay mamimili ako ng ilang mga kagamitang makakatulong sa akin para sa pagtalakay sa klase.

Nag-oojt na kasi ako ngayon sa Makati High School. Kahit papano ay ramdam ko na ang sarap ng pagiging isang guro... masaya, masakit sa ulo pero talagang nakakataba ng puso lalo na kapag nakikita mo ang mga estudyante mong natututo sa mga talakayan. Masarap ding malaman na kadalasan ay hindi ikaw ang nagtuturo sa mga bata, bagkos sila ang nagtututo sayo ng mga bagay na inaakala mong alam mo na. Ipinapakita ng mga batang ito ang tunay na reyalidad ng buhay.

Mahirap maging mahirap talaga... sabi nga ng isang estudyante, "buti pa ang pera may tao, ang tao wala namang pera"... Nakakatawang isipin pero totoo nga naman. Karamihan sa mga estudyante lalo na sa public school ay kapos sa pera at tipid na tipid pagpumapasok.

Meron akong nakapanayam na estudyante, repeater sya at medyo nahihiya na siyang pumasok kasi daw sya lang ang repeater sa klase. Tinanong ko kung ano ang dahilan kung bakit siya nagrepeat, "Family at financial problem", mabilis nyang isinagot sa akin. Dalawang beses na sya sa parehong taon at sa parehong dahilan din. Nakakalungkot lang isipin na ang pag nanais ng bata na makapag-aral ay nahahadlangan ng mismong pamilya at ng problema sa pera.

Noong nakaraang araw naman ay nagkaron ako ng meeting kasama ang mga miyembro ng isang organisasyon sa Sikolohiya. Nilalaman ng limang iba't ibang unibersidad ang nasabing pulong. Bilang batikang miyembro ng organisasyon, ako ang nanguna sa pagpupulong... madaming napagusapan, napag kwentuhan hanggang sa umabot sa pagsasabi ng tuition fee ng bawat university.

Iyong isa 2000+ per UNIT.
Ito namang isa 1600 per UNIT.
Iyong isa around 1500 per UNIT daw.
Iyong isa 1000+ per UNIT.
At itong isa, kung saan ako nanggaling 1500 per SEMESTER.

Kung merong 24 units kada sem ang nag-aaral doon sa ikatlong school ay makakapag paaral na sya ng 24 students sa eskwelahan kung saan ako nag-aaral. :) Ibang iba ang layo ng presyo ng matrikula sa mga pribadong paaralan at sa pampubliko.. at ang masama pa kahit mura na ang binabayad sa pampublikong paaralan ay dito padin makakatagpo ng madaming naghihikahos sa pera.

TARA TULONG TAYO!!

Sabi ng kaibigan ng tatay ko tatlong bagay lang daw para maging mayaman ka sa mundo...

Una, PINANGANAK kang mayaman. Madaming oppurtunities para sayo, may mga pamana at kung ano ano pa.

Ikalawa, MAKAPAGASAWA ng mayaman. Kaso matatanggap kaya ng isang mayamang pamilya ang isang lalaking katulad ko na ubod ng hirap at hikahos sa materyal na yaman sa mundo. Baka isipin pa ng taong mahal mo e pera lang ang habol sa kanya... whew!

Ikatlo, PAGSUSUMIKAP. Ito na lamang siguro ang malinaw linaw na pwede kong magawa. Nais kong pag aralin ang magiging anak ko sa nais nyang paaralan kahit magkano pa ang bayad dito. Makakaraos din sa hirap. Tiwala lang sa sarili.

And edukasyon ay nananatiling karapatan ng isang tao kaya bilang mga nakakaalam nito, magsumikap tayo na maghandog ng opurtunidad upang lahat ay magkaroon ng pagkakataon upang maka pag-aral.



Nais kong pasalamatan lahat ng nagpapautang sa akin... kilala nyo na kung sino kayo. Makakabayad din ako. :)

Age Doesn't Matter

I saw pictures of my long lost friend back in my third year high school. I noticed that this friend is with some adult person. The shine in my friend's eyes is telling me that my friend is really in love with this person.

This only proves that age doesn't matter when it comes to love or being in a relationship. We really have our own choice and sometimes, we go along the way with the track of our destiny.

I never had a relationship with a girl who is younger than me... all them is older than me.

I expected them to be more mature than I am in handling our relationships, but my expectations do nothing except to hurt me. :) They are mature, yes they are but not in all things. Same goes for me, I know I intend to be very childish at some stuff but I know my limitations.

We all tend to become a child when we got hurt and cry. I am like a child now, amazed with every love story of other people I know because I was hurt with my own.

People may come to think that age defines MATURITY, but I tell you, it is LEARNING from our experiences that is actually makes our maturity reach the top. UNDERSTANDING can't be based from age, it is based from the openness of the mind. TRUST doesn't develop as age grows older, in fact it is developed from the time we were born up to at a certain level in our babyhood (Trust vs. MisTrust) :) HOPE is not gone when people are old, until the end of our very own breath, we are hoping that we are able to leave a legacy for the next generation. FAITH is develop through out the years, some may have it at a very young age and lost it as that person grew up, some may gain faith at a very "late" age, well nothing is late when it comes to having one's faith.

LOVE is available to everyone who believes in it. If you don't believe in it (hmm.. like me??) LOVE is still there no matter how young or old are you. ♥ Spread LOVE. ♥

Handog Ka ng Panginoon

Sa lahat ng panahong naramdaman kong ako'y napaglaruan, ako'y nagreklamo
Ang hilig ko sa pagrereklamo ay alam mo
Sa lahat ng pagkakamaling paulit ulit kong ginagawa, kahit na ako dapat ang sisihin
Ay tinututo ko pa rin sa bawat patak ng ulan

Hindi ko man ipinalangin, walang senyales
At sa gitna ng kalungkutan

Inihandog ka ng Panginoon upang ipakita ang Katotohanan
May higit pa sa buhay bukod sa aking nadarama
Lahat ng aking tumbas ay nasa harap ko lamang
At kung bakit ako nabuhay, noon ay di ko alam
Ngaun alam ko na, dahil inihandog ka ng Panginoon

Sa mga panahong suot ko ang awa sa aking sarili
Binabalot ng sakit
Sa lahat ng basongh nakita ko, laging kalahating puno
Ngayo'y umaapaw na tila isang ilog na nagpapalaya ng aking kaluluwa
Sa lahat ng pag-aalinlangan ko sa buhay, ako'y lumaya na

Ako'y lubusang naniniwala

Inihandog ka ng Panginoon upang ipakita ang katotohan
May higit pa sa buhay bukod sa mga sakit sa pagkawasak ng tahanan
Lahat ng aking silbi'y ngayon alam ko na
Kung bakit ako nabuhay dahil pinili ako ng buhay
Ngayon alam ko na, inihandoh ka ng Panginoon

Sa iyong piling ako ay bago
Sa bawat haplos ako'y ganado
Kailangan kong aminin
Ako'y pinagpapala rin

Inihandog ka ng Panginoon!

Simula na

Nang lisanin ako ng pag-ibig sa buhay ko... doon nagsimula...

Mahirap mabuhay mag-isa, kagaya nga ng sabi sa kasabihan, no man is an island. Isa't kalahating tanga ka pala e man is a man kaya diba? Anyways, totoo naman na mahirap mabuhay ng mag-isa, mas makakabuti kung may makakatuwang ka sa pagharap sa buhay ng may kasama. Makakasama mo sa mga problemang kahaharapin, sa masasayang sandali na pinagdadaanan mo.

Ako ay MAG-ISA! Masaya pero mahirap.

tinatamad na ako mag-isip.

Basta ang masasabi ko lang, nang lisanin ako ng pag-ibig sa buhay ko... doon nagsimula... ang pagpasok ng konseptong "pag-asa"..

Mag-Isa

Masarap sa pakiramdam na hindi ka nakatali sa isang relasyon... walang iyakan, walang mga paulit ulit na away, walang dapat alalahanin kundi ang sarili lamang. Pero mas masarap sa pakiramdam kung may isang taong andyan, laging handang mag-alaga sayo, nag-iisip sayo, handang dumamay sa tuwing kailangan mo. Masaya na may nagmamahal sayo ng sigurado, nag aalay ng matamis na pag-ibig, tapat at totoo. Mahal ka dahil mahal ka.

Masarap maging single. Masaya magkaroon ng buhay pag-ibig.

Nagkamali ako sa mga naging hakbang sa kahapon.

Nagbitaw ng mga maling salita. Sumuong sa maling daan, nagmahal at nasaktan. Nagbigay ng maling reaksyon sa naging sitwasyon. Nagsalita nung mga panahong dapat nakikinig, umalis noong panahong dapat nagantay, nanghusga noong panahong dapat akong nagtiwala, at nagpakatanga noong panahong dapat umunawa.

Nagkamali ako sa mga naging hakbang sa kahapon.

Ngunit naisip ko na mas magkakamali ako sa kasalukuyan kung hahayaan kong ang mga pagkakamaling ito ang humadlang sa aking paglago bilang nilalang, bilang taong hindi tumitigil ang pagtibok ng puso para sa Maykapal. Ngayon ay bagong araw. Mamuhay ng Masaya kahit na alam kong ako’y mag-isa.

~~~

Naglalakad ako kanina at nakakita ako ng nag-iibigan,pagsakay ko sa jeep nakakita ako ng nagiibigan, naglakad ako sa parke nakakita ako ng nagmamahalan at nagroromansang itik. :)

Naniniwala akong di magtatagal at darating din ang pag-ibig sa akin. Nagkahiwalay ng dating naging pag-ibig kasabay ng paglisan ng pag-ibig sa buhay ko.


Iniwan ng pag-ibig, dumating ang bagong pag-iisip.

Do You Two Have Chemistry?

Sweaty palms? Sort of. A pounding heart? A bit. Even so, you’re still not completely sure there are sparks between you. Understandable: While it’d be nice to think that the earth moves and the angels sing when you’ve found The One, sometimes the signals that you two are truly meant for each other are much more subtle than that. Here are seven dead giveaways that singles often miss — know that if you spot one or more of them on your next date, that’s good news.

Subtle sign #1: You turn into a total klutz
So far, you’ve dropped your fork and knocked over your water glass…and that’s before the entrées have arrived. While embarrassing, these gaffes are actually a good sign. “When you have serious chemistry, your body produces elevated levels of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine,” says Helen Fisher, Ph.D., research professor of anthropology at Rutgers University. This, in turn, can make you jittery, uncoordinated, and a little accident-prone. And if you’re embarrassed by your klutziness, that’s a good sign too! Because if you don’t care what your date thinks of you, you probably don’t think much of your date.

Subtle sign #2: You notice a tiny dent in your date’s pinkie nail
Or that your date’s hair flips up on the left but under on the right. You’ve never noticed something like that about a person before, so why now? Because when there’s true chemistry, the body’s levels of the chemical dopamine rise and lead to “imprinting,” a theory of attachment discovered by German ethologist and Nobel Prize winner Niko Tinbergen. This imprinting makes you focus on this one person more clearly and notice the tiniest, most insignificant details about a person — including possessions. Says Dr. Fisher, “Your date’s car in the parking lot looks different. His or her backpack looks different. That person’s coat on the coat rack stands out. Everything is special, novel, unique.”

Subtle sign #3: You agree to split the spinach dip appetizer — and you don’t even like spinach dip!
True chemistry makes us more mellow than usual — so don’t be surprised if you find yourself being agreeable with your date in ways you might not with anyone else: You don’t mind walking 10 blocks with your date from your parking spot. You’re suddenly up for seeing a Rob Schneider movie. And even though you’re not a fan of Indian food, what the heck, you’ll give it another shot. “When you’re falling in love, you more easily surrender your boundaries because of a strong desire to merge with that person,” explains Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., author of Keeping the Love You Find.

Subtle sign #4: The room you’re in seems brighter than usual
Did someone nudge up the dimmer switch? Perhaps. But it could also mean you’re smitten, thanks to a physiological reaction discovered by University of Chicago biopsychologist Eckhard Hess, a pioneer in the area of “pupillometrics.” In short, Hess found that when people look at something or someone that causes positive feelings or sparks interest, their pupils dilate in an attempt to take in more of it, also letting in more light as well.

Subtle sign #5: You’re more fidgety during the date
If you find yourself stroking your own arm, tapping your leg, or otherwise fidgeting during the date, rest assured: Whether you fully know it or not, you like this person. “These are ‘displacement gestures’ — what you do when you’re trying to decide what to do with yourself,” explains Dr. Fisher. “If someone is smiling at you and you can’t decide if you should smile back or look away, you play with your hair. Or you run your tongue along your teeth.” This happens because your brain is over-stimulated, leading you to vent the extra energy with a little self-grooming. Some experts even argue that stroking your own arm or leg indicates a subconscious desire to reach out and touch the person you’re with.

Subtle sign #6: You keep forgetting there’s food on the table
When you’re out with someone who doesn’t float your boat, boy, do those garlic mashed potatoes taste good. But if you’re feeling a chemical attraction to someone, the food being served is the last thing on your mind — and not just because you’re nervous. Blame this on elevated levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine, which fuels feelings of desire. Higher levels of dopamine, according to Dr. Fisher, “give you a feeling of lightness, increased energy and a feeling of minor ecstasy. And you’re definitely not hungry!” So if your date seems disappointed that you only ate four bites of your steak, you can clear it up later by explaining what a five-star sign it really is.

Subtle sign #7: You feel more “familiar” with your date than “lusty”
Sure, most people think it’s a good sign when they want to jump over the table and rip their date’s clothes off. But let’s be honest—there are plenty of acquaintances you’ve wanted to do that to, and there was no deeper, underlying chemistry there. A stronger sign is that instead of feeling lust for your date, you’re overwhelmed by a feeling of familiarity — a sense of, “Gosh, I feel like I’ve known you before.” The chemistry at work, says Dr. Hendrix, “is due to the emotional center in your brain’s limbic system recognizing qualities in the person that resemble qualities about the caretakers we had during childhood.” For example, a man might recognize a feeling of being at ease and nurtured the way his mother made him feel. A woman might feel comfortable with the dry humor of her date, similar to the way her father interacted with her. “This intense familiarity triggers the release of dopamine, which can lead to that ‘Wow’ feeling,” explains Dr. Hendrix. Oh, and by this point, it’s also definitely OK to want to jump over the table and rip your date’s clothes off!
