Letter to a friend

Dear ****, I will always say this to you. You inspire me and you make people happy just because of your charm that I know you already know (naks). But deep inside you, you are just a man with feelings and emotions. Life is just full of trials and obstacles. We are vulnerable and  sometimes we fall apart and we want to escape from reality. But for us to move on with our  lives, we need to face the situation and make a solution. In any problem there is a solution that  we need to make. We(I) may not know your problem (in details because you told us that your ok last night) but life should always be an adventure, if not, then it is nonsense. Life rewarded  courage. Always take a chance on someone, if you love her then pursue her if not always  remember that there is a rainbow after the rain. Someday, youll meet your other half and you'l  realize that it is the fruit of all your decisions in life. But if you dont do anything, you cannot und...

Birthday!

Today is my birthday. Yes!, I was born February 6, 1986. It means that I am 27 years old. But one thing I know, life is great at any age. I must admit that I feel what other people also feel when birthdays come in, the 'birthday anxiety attack'. I never felt this before because I always celebrate it with my friends and family and always busy preparing for party. But this year, I chose to celebrate it by preparing an intimate dinner with my family. Probably because I am jobless at this moment so I don't want to spend a lot even my parents insisted me to invite my friends. This is also good opportunity for me to just be with them and feel their presence on my birthday. After all, I was born because of them and I love them so much.  Another reason is a lot of things happened last year that I felt like I have nothing to celebrate about. So I am looking for another year of blessings and miracles so that I can celebrate it next year. Being single sucks!. I didn't receive spec...

Philosophy of Teaching and Learning

Philosophy of Teaching and Learning Introduction What is the significance of teaching? How can we learn best from our teachers? Do students have a responsibility inside the classroom or is it merely the teacher who is in charge of everything? Here I will outline my personal perspective in teaching and my perception about my teachers in the past and how they mold me as a person and as a nurse and become useful to me right now. I will talk about the important values and characteristics a teacher must have and how it can change a life of a student. Teaching started from the time we enter in this world when our mother teach us how to properly suck in their breast, teach us how to lace our shoes, how to wash our butt in the toilet and so on. Our brain has a significant role in acquiring this knowledge. Studies show that person vary whether left or a right person. Left person develops dominance toward one side of the brain and have a certain characteristics like they are said to be l...

Gifted Hands

Image
You can do anything you want to do, just believe in yourself and the power of prayer. That is one of the lesson that I learned from on of my favorite of all time "The Gifted Hands by Ben Carlson". This is an inspiring movie about a Neurosurgeon who was a dumb student when he was young and taught by her mother to believe in himself that he can be smart by reading and studying very well. I don't want to write about the plot but instead, I would just enumerate some of the lessons I've learned from watching this movie. The first lesson is the respect he had to his mother as well as the unconditional love of his mother to Ben and his brother. They were only 3 in the family because their father left them for another woman and so the mother raised her children alone. She secretly worked as a cleaner to provide for her family and her dreams for them is so powerful that she did everything to send them to a very good school just like my mom. When we transferred here in Manil...

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...
