Is Love Really A Fallacy???... My Reaction

Fallacy is a wrong statement.At first I thought that the story was boring. At first I did not understand the idea of the story but as I went on reading. I found it interesting especially about the love triangle emerging between Petey Bellows, Polly Espy and the narrator or the author. Not only because the topic was about love, but also because of the question “How come love became a wrong word?”

I really admire him (Max Schulman) for making this.I think this story tells us not just a funny situation,what the different fallacies are,but it gives us morals as well.This story is gripping and definitely amazing.It speaks to the heart than to the head.

I thought it was a good ending, imagine after the all the sacrifices of the author Polly didn't care about it. I disliked the ending. It's such a sad ending, I thought at first hat they were meant to be (author and Polly) but they were'nt. I didn't thought that Polly was that hmmm... Dumb?!! She just chose Petey becaus he's got a raccoon coat. She never knew that the raccoon coat which Petey had came from the author.

It was as though she never cared about someone's feelings, she wants was to have what she wants. Love is really a fallacy in the story. She don't love a man for who he was but for what he have. The girl didn't care about the love the author was giving to her...

KYSD

I still remember the day when we had our KYSD (Know your school day). Every year we are celebrating this event so that the students can experienced the life of being a teacher for three days.

I had never experienced teaching students which were my own classmates. Based on my experience , you can understand the lesson from your classmates than from your teacher because you won't be shy in asking questions.

My classmates who were the teachers for that day, were really prepared because they were excited to teach us but at the same time they also felt nervous.

LOVE

If you find yourself in LOVE with someone who does not LOVE you, be gentle with yourself .There is nothing wrong with u. LOVE just didn’t choose to rest in the other person’s heart...

If u find someone else in LOVE with u and u don’t LOVE him/her, feel honored that LOVE came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift u cannot return, do not take advantage, do not cause pain, because it hurts to be taken for granted...

If u fall in LOVE with another, and she/he falls in LOVE with u, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame, let it go. There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know in time…

Remember that u don’t choose LOVE, LOVE chooses u. All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills u to overflowing, then reach out and give it away…

How u deal with LOVE is how u deal with yourself…and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys as u, even if our lives and ways are different...

The first blush of new LOVE is filled to overflowing, but as their LOVE cools, they revert to seeing their LOVE as need. They cease to be some one who generates LOVE & instead become someone who seeks LOVE...

what a UP Student Is Not

University of the philippines is one of the prestigious school here in the Philippines. For us studying in UP is such a great challenge and a great opportunity. I was very amazed by the things that people say about UP students.
They think that we are rude, we are irresponsible, and we hate studying our lessons..

We are irresponsible..... If you have just visited our campus you'll see how irresponsible we are. Even in making assignments! We still copy each othr's answers... We don't make our assignments at home, we make our assignments the time that we arrive in school.

We hate studying our lessons.... We don't like studying our lessons. We don't listen to our teacher's discussions. We talk with each other even if our teacher is discussing something in front. If you only knew our grades that we had very low grades especially in Math.

We don't respect other's things...... we don't asked permission when we want to borrow things from our classmates. We had thieves in our batch, some of my classmate's money were stolen.
Publish
That' s the negative side of the UP students.

the best part of believe is the lie

I just stole that line title from a Fall Out Boy track. Hehe! Not that sensible, but very catchy. I just have to say this, okay. I know all those crazy comments should never have bothered me, but I just wasn't my regular self that day. I was feeling very vulnerable and depressed because of some silly incident that happened between me and the school administration (which I won't even bother to discuss here just cause...), and all those comments just fanned the flame and made me feel even worse, and blah blah blah... (you know the rest) In short, I just wasn't feeling very happy.

Nah... 'Nuf of that sappy crap. Let's move on to something more dismal. (as if we needed more) Wohohoho! Jilary is rumored to be no more.For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, backtrack a little, you'll find something on my previous posts. Can't say I was shocked, all those Hollywood breakups might have desensitized me, but it really is sad. More than two years into the relationship. Apparently, the eight year gap was proving too unbearable for Hilary the couple. I'm sure it'll all work out for the best. (But I'm still hoping they'd get back together)

Moving on. Remember that entry when I said I can't wait to see Happy Feet? Well, can't say my anticipation didn't lead to disappointment.Sure it was visually stimulating, gave me a few laughs, but the story just didn't cut it. I don't know, maybe I'm just slow, dis me if you want, but that ending just didn't make any sense! AT ALL! I'd recommend that you all just wait for it to come out on DVD. Can't say it was a complete disaster, but it would seem that every animation studio have been attempting to top the sensation that was "Finding Nemo". Go see it in theaters if you're only after the graphic side of things, you won't be disappointed, but don't say I didn't warn you about the plot.

I guess that's it for now. Play nice now you kids. Don't want any nasties now do we? (Man, I miss cussing on this blog! If only those dang kids don't read this $hit. Oopsie! HEHEHE! WOW! This entry sucks egg BIG TIME! Nyahaha! I'm just gonna trash myself for you now.)

What Is Success?

What is success? The triumph of good over evil? The triumph of one's security over insecurity? Car ownership? Home ownership? Marriage?! Powerful corporate position? Donald Trump? Our parents?!

See, day in and out, we go through the daily grind trying to make every dollar of the income that we take home a well-justified one. At the same time, we make sure that we do not, in our pursuit for the 'illusive happiness',reach a selling-out point. In other words, we do what we have to do (as vocation, passion, interest etc) because there is a sense of purpose; a higher order meaning that helps define us as an individual and a human being.


The last months of being away from the computer found me re-connecting myself with people who are dear to me. People who know what my horoscope reading for the day is or what I had dreamt about the night before. People whom I could call at odd hours of the day to share with them my insecurities or my inspirations. People who are patient enough to entertain my whims, fancies and repeated unflattering attempts at cracking jokes. Naturally, I have to reiterate that the process is reciprocal.

A dream that was born out of sheer tiredness from having to work rather long hours (not that I'm complaining - another one of those 'no-yes' situation ;-s) and that very strange vibes that one sometimes get when one has to do work with people. Needless to say, life goes on and I had found myself chalking up some odd hours at home trying to tidy up the loose end at work or sort out some thoughts to ensure clarity.

I managed to squeeze out of him the names of people who make such remarks aout me but I know I do not owe these people anything. I don't need to prove to them my worth. For a start, I can neither comprehend nor understand the logic between being under-estimated with being intimidating. Maybe I look dumb or something!

Regardless, I will be at peace with the reality and most importantly, myself. Sure, I had moments of self-doubt (particularly last year), of wondering and questioning, but I'd like to know that it is part of the package of being a human being. Simply put, a transitory stage of existence. If anyone were to feel 'territorial' towards me, or fearful for whatever groundless reasons, then it will be something that I really have no control over. We cannot control anyone's mind. Moreover, to do so will tantamount to making one a psychotic, mind-control freak! I'm no psycho!

To me, sincerity is key and if it is not reciprocated the way sincerity should be reciprocrated, then sincerely speaking, it is nobody's fault. After all, who's to demand what things should or ought to be? Particularly on the ideological level. However, truth be known, it really is an unpleasant feeling to know people are gossiping and waiting for you to fall flat on the face. That's a curse. It's mean to curse! If doing so does elevate one sense of self-worth, then it'll be really a sorry state. Then again, if it makes a person happy, there's nothing much others can do.

Over the last few months, I've also learnt the real meaning of empowerment. While victims resist change or succumb to temptation (some continuously wallow in self-pity and constantly blame others, along the way disrespecting different ideas and scoring points through unhealthy means), survivors on the other hand embrace change, undo the negative effects of having succumbed to temptations and realise the powerful effect of team-playing and honouring originality of ideas and effort. So, it does not matter if one is a prostitute, a beggar or a Donald Trump. The bottom line is, what makes one successful is the ability to embrace one's weaknesses and higher existence.

Only then will the gateway of freedom open up as possibilities line itself up towards and along the horizon. After all, there's no harm in chasing after the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Just don't knock others down along the way. I believe the mighty Creator has alloted enough pots of gold for each individual to handle, beyond which insanity might beckon, perhaps?!

And oh, let mother nature and the cosmic vibration do their work too. They'll come to our lives someday - as angels, soulmates, friends, GOD, drinking mate, cats, dogs, friendsters email (thanks loads guys!

March 8 - the presentation of florante at laura

Today I woke up early and went to school before 7:30. I need to be early so that I could help in finishing the props for our presentation of Florante at Laura. When I arrived at the school, I remembered that we will have a test on our first subject-Biology. So I studied and I have only five minutes left to study. When our teacher gave the questions, I felt that all the thing that I have studied was gone. I am the last one who passed the paper. After the test our teacher gave up her subject to give us time to practice. It seems s busy day. All our subjects except for Math A were given up. We were busy practicing and preparing things for the stage play.

We were practicing all day and when the bell rang for the Grand Rally to start, everybody gathered at the open stage. The first party was the Alliance of Concerned and Transformed Students, their campaign managers introduced their candidates and the candidates were given time to introduce their selves. After the ACTS , the next party is the Leaders In Full Energy or LIFE party, the same with the ACTS they also introduced their selves. When the two parties started to discussed their platforms, our section went back to the room to change.

The program started a few minutes after the grand rally. We were nervous. The presentation would be our section vs. the other section. Before we went outside our room, we gathered and prayed. And so the program started, the other section was the first one to present. Their presentation was very nice. We were getting nervous when their presentation ended. It is our time to present. I like our presentation.

we won six out of nine awards..
