Meaning of my name

What Jared Means You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it togethe...

What I stand for?

              A lot of people especially the youth are trying to figure out what they really are as a person. Mainly because, this is the stage of their life that they question their identity according to Erik Erickson, a German psychologist who described life stage virtues into eight stages. Identity vs Role confusion is the fifth stage which among twelve to twenty years of age. I remember myself during that age as my worst years in my life and I believe that these confusions I had before affects what I am as a person today. This is nothing new for most of in the LGBT community because this is really what happen to us at this stage. What I had experienced affects the decision I make today and sometimes I will just assess first if it is really for my good or not. When I was 20 years old, I made a decision to myself that I will stand for what I feel and just live in peace with it- 'I'm gay' and should be proud of it I say to myself. I made a stand after...

Plagiarism

                               Since highschool, I know what is plagiarism is all about. According to the Webster dictionary, plagiarism is stealing and passing off ideas or words of another as one's own or use it without crediting the source. We're not only talking about copying word by word when we are describing plagiarism. I knew this even before because we studied it, I read something or related with plagiarism and I know the consequences if you will commit plagiarism. Stealing is something that I really condemn and whenever I remember the guy who were stealing from a drunk guy in the jeepney when I was commuting going to work, It really sucks because I cannot afford to see how desperate people to get money. They don't know how people work so hard to get that money and some bad, desperate and annoying people just want to steal. Stealing is never new for me, I am known in the family who always experienc...

Favorites

my ultimate favorite ....Cartoon Character is 'Tazmanian Devil'. I never really a fan of cartoon since young but i find him cool. ....Perfume is 'Davidoff Coolwater'. This is my first perfume bought by my mom and I hope someone will give me this as a gift. ....Toy is 'Lego'. Building homes, garden, community out of building bricks makes me creative. ....Movie is 'Lord of the Rings' Trilogy. I am not sure if this is really my favorite but I remember when I have to search in the Internet all day about the movie, reading reviews, reading plots all over, memorizing the names and characters and downloading pictures of the film. ....Chocolate is 'Cadbury Roast Almond'. I must admit I love all Chocolates but my favorite is Cadbury Roast Almond. I just love the taste of milk chocolate and it is not so sweet with smoothness in your mouth. It comfort me whenever I need an extra mood lifter. ....TV series is 'Smallville'. For some rea...

Trashpaper

It's been 5 years since I graduated. The situation where I am now is one of the reason some people get frustrated about themselves. Honestly, I am too. I need to lift my self now and push myself up to overcome my frustrations. Some of my friends are already abroad pursuing their dreams to work and get big a salary. Their careers are like skyrockets. Some have there own family already while some are enjoying their lives as if they have no problems at all. I've realized that it all depends on me and what I have accomplished so far . People became successful not by chance or luck but by their perseverance and good attitude. And to be honest, I can do that. But what's stopping me... Probably my fears and anxiety. Problems can never be like a trashpaper that when you have an error in your writing, you just simply crumpled the paper and throw it on the trashcan. No, it's not like that. Problems are meant to be solved, and I have to face the situation where I am right now. p...

Past

I've been trying hard to think of what can I post here in my blog. I know that there are lot of things that can write to and there are thousands of them in different websites. I do not read much of the blogs of others and that's one thing that I should try to do regularly. Not to get ideas on the topic that I should write but for me to be creative somehow in writing. I am hesitant to write personal information here because I am very private person and often isolated myself to others. Only few people really knew who I am and one thing that I'm afraid of is rejection. For me to overcome this, I made a lot of adjustments in my life. It is never too late for me to break free of the past and so i need to look back on the past and wonder how my experiences scarred me. Since I was a young boy, I am very insecure with myself. I notice my classmates playing basketball and I never even knew how to hold a ball or shoot it. I always end up playing on the slides at playgrounds, 'p...

A Thousand Years

                       After I watched the Breaking Dawn part 2 yesterday, I have played this song several times remembering the wonderful, exciting and romantic story of the 'twilight' movie. I had never read even a single one of the books written by Stephenie Meyer, but I watched them all in the cinema since it was began to show in December of 2008. It is a series of a vampire-wolf-human love triangle fantasy novel which became one of the highest gross film in series of all time. The lead actors became the highest paid actors in hollywood and their lives became open to public. My favorite part on the last sequel of the Twilight series would be the battle scene between the Cullens/Wolves and the Volturi (the most powerful coven of vampires). Alice' character has always been significant in the story but this time she became a hero through her power when she was touched by Aro, the Volturi leader, and through that touch ...

Destination: Heaven

Endtimes. This is the topic in our church for the past four weeks. I only attended 1 topic which everything talks about hell. I asked my friend leica on what is the message for today because I was not able to attend and told me that she's so bless and she learned a lot about heaven. Instead of being sad about it that i was not able to attend, i'd rather read about it on the bible and meditate and I know God is already please with that.  When I was still young, heaven was so vague for me. I really do not understand what it looks like. When I watched the movie of Donita Rose climbing the stairs going to heaven, it became a picture and believed that this is really going to happen to me when the time I will die. It is not so hard for me to understand heaven because my parents raised us attending Sunday masses and I even grew from a Catholic School. Reading Bible never been a habit for me and I can only hear heaven from my teachers, parents and environment. So my picture of he...

Unemployment

                  Unemployment here in the Philippines does not only happen here but across the world. In the last recession in United States, the most powerful nation in the world, even experience unemployment to many of their people. According to statistics shown by the government of United States and the Philippines , unemployment rate is decreasing and progress to both country is improving. There are millions of unfilled job vacancies now in the U.S. compared to the last four years. Here in the Philippines, if people just are patient in finding job, they can all have a stable job for themselves.                       Filipinos took up nursing for the past 10 years and became in demand course, but the promise of stable job abroad became impossible because of the recession and unstable economy of other countries. Now, I am unemployed together with thousands of nurses ...

"Ingat Ka" by Silent Sanctuary was the music background of the video that my friends in CHMC given to me when I leave them. I thought this was the perfect song because the message of the song was really meant for me and I gave this credit to my dearest friend Portia. It's her idea to make the video and this was one of the most memorable gift I have ever received. These are the pioneers of OR in CHMC. I miss them all. Lexis - He thought me to have patience, his dedication to work admired me. He's just so simple person the way he wear clothes and act. He's got a humor that I never really understand but Jhoanna always laughs with him. Lourdes - I remember when we had misunderstanding but despite of it, I know we build a friendship when I opened my life with her everytime we eat together. I miss her food because some of them were unusual for me because her foods were mostly visayan dishes and I got to taste them. She's smart and loves to read books that I r...
