What If..

(Duterte is our president)

Lintek, minamalas si Miriam. hehe Kung mataas lang survey niya, sure na siya iboboto ko. Kaso ganun talaga. Mabuti na lang, may alternative na pwede iboto! Siyempre, hindi si Binay, Grace at Mar. Duterte na to pre! hahaha Natatawa ako dun sa isang news na may isang FB user na puro hate ang nakuha nung sinabi niya dapat wag si Rody ang iboto. Ayun, para siyang tupa na pinakain sa mga leon. Nilalapa siya ng buhay ng users. Mas marami ang gusto kay Duterte. hehe

Hmmmm I used to have, somewhat a couple of friends living near Davao. Totoo naman ang sinasabi nila, mas safe pa daw ang Davao kaysa sa NCR. Secured ka maglakad at night. Saka sa mga vids and pictures, kita mo naman parang mas maayos dun ha. Makapunta nga minsan. hehe Pero as data shows kahit medyo mataas pa din crime rate, eh para naman yun mga major crimes dun, halos nasolve agad, yun ibang criminal, malas, todas!

Well, isa lang naman ang problema niya sa kin. It's more of his hot temper. Ok yun pag nacocontrol niya, not in public display. Mabuti na lang, nun napamura niya nung pumunta si Pope Francis dito eh napatawad siya. Saka yun, improve PR sana, dapat may nagsasabi sa kanya na be civil you know.. Lalo na sa speeches, unless kung ang setting eh barrio lang or small venue, informal kung baga ok lang. Kaso pag may formal setting or may international press, dapat hinay hinay siya sa pananalita. hehe

Tatlong bagay lang naman ang nagustuhan ko sa kanya.. Una, eh transparent siya. Straight to the point, gaya na lang na inamin niya babaero siya.. Mahina siya sa ibang bagay. Nagkamali siya or kahit yun history niya na abused pala siya.. Aba daig pa niya ko sa blog. Siniwalat niya halos lahat. hahaha Simply honest and transparent. Pangalawa, matapang talaga.. Parang siya lang yun presidente kung papalarin, di niya uurungan lahat ng banta sa kanya. Di gaya na usual na president na isisi niya yun mali sa iba pero pag tama or may maganda siya nagawa, nasa kanya yun credit! Matindi! Kapal ng mukha. hahaha Pero siya, at least di niya swapang yun credit. Saka kahit ayoko yun ginawa niya urong sulong, eh at least, di siya umatras di ba? Hinamon siya, so matapang niya hinaharap!

Ang huli, gaya ni Miriam, may leadership! Aba, natawa ako sa isang nag comment na kalaban niya, nakalimutan ko sino pero kung bakit daw 20 years bago nya napababa yun crime rate ng Davao. Yun daw eh nakakabahala at di mangyayari sa atin. Gusto ko sanang sabihin dun sa ungas na yan, at least, nagawa niya. Saka di naman siguro it took like 20 years na ganun. Kahit sabihin na natin lahat na kasama niya eh kamag anak or barkada ni Duterte kaya niya nagawa yun, aba ibig sabihin, sinusunod siya na gusto niya mangyari. Ang hirap kasi sa mga pulitiko, marami nga tao, di naman siya sinusunod, di pa nagtatanggal! Ano mangyayari sa atin. Kaya leadership yun kailangan natin. At kaya pasunurin ni Duterte ang mga taong nasa paligid niya. I don't know paano niya nagawa yun dati, siguro tinatakot niya.. Pero anong paraan yan, basta importante sumunod at makita resulta agad. Di naman niya babaguhin kung nagwork di ba? 

Kaya yun honesty at tapang niya, good combination yan. Well, kung ako tatanungin, mahirap yun gagawin niya pero di ako magugulat na drastic measures ang gagawin nya. Martial Law, closing the government for true reforms, he will be damn creative to transform the government for the people. Not a government for other people or selected people. Yes, I can see a lot of blood or it will be messy.. But what other options we have? Tandaan niyo, halos lahat naman ng problema ng bansa, naguugat sa corruption. Maayos lang yan or kahit papano mabawasan ng malaki, uunlad na bansa natin na madali. Saka kung pwede charter change na din. hehe Malamang pag siya presidente, yun walang ka kwentang kwenta CHR eh magtratrabaho na para tignan siya lagi! hehe 

Sana si Lacson yun VP para yun 3-6 months time, talagang ubos ang mga criminal, nakasemento pa!!!! 

Dito sa D.Tuazon pero posters ni Digong nandito. Sabi ko baka may chance talaga, lalo na sa mga surveys na lumalabas. Although si Grace ang consistent, pero si Duterte, may mga alas pa yan. Lalo na may ugong na... Hahaha abangan sa eleksyon. Sana ituloy niya nga. 

Kaya sa presidente, Atin to Pre! Duterte! Naks... Libreng endorsement pa from a dork like me. Tunay na pagbabago! 

Ano kaya tawag sa squad niya pag presidente na? =)

What if..

(I'm gone)

One of the hard posts to write about... What if indeed I'm not here? It's hard to imagine even to myself.. The reason what I thought about this was as you grew older and many people around you seems to be distant. Loneliness creeps in then add in other pressures that came in a flash.. I just want to go away or gone altogether. 

I believe that a value of the person truly shows when that person is gone. Someway or somehow, even with great memories, it's easy to remember them. Even that person has somewhat gave not good memories.. I started to think, who will look after my family? Or do the errands even they are mounting? 

Who will deliver good messages even in reality they are bad? hehe who will be the negotiator  to bring agreement in both sides even sometimes, I end up hurt? What will happen in gatherings of friends, without me? Encouraging them to come even they don't want to or sometimes, which I did not realize, brings fun to the party. What if I'm not there for a friend who needs help or just want a conversation? Will that person be saved? 

I can't imagine not visiting or meeting a friend in a surprise time. Or what if I did not meet them at that surprise time.. What if my blog did not exists, will any reader miss it? hehe 

After writing those sentences, I felt weary and sad.. It's because its hard to imagine that I'm not there at those events or situations. It dawned on me, that life is enjoyed best when you have a lot of relationships. Good, healthy or bad ones.. Short, long or indirect.. As long you see the person on the other side of the fence, it looks bad if you don't see any. 

I know I might be too sentimental or sound morbid. But as time really finishes fast, you don't want to forget moments that you're there, whether it's great or worst. Whether with that someone or a group of people.. In a small space, or in a big venue.. 

Life indeed shouldn't be enjoyed alone. Even you are forever single or happily married, never forget one thing.. Even you felt everyone left you or you're left behind....

I'm not alone. Besides, I don't want to be gone yet. hahaha 

Sigh.. I don't want to think this again. 

Back to regular programming. =)

What if..

(I have my own car)

Oo nga pala, nasulat ko na dati na may lisensya ako pero di na ko marunong magdrive. Nakakatakot pa, yun huling nagturo sa kin na magdrive eh nasa langit na. Sumalangit nawa siya. 

Paano kaya, may kotse ako? Simple lang, pero siyempre yun less ang sira, at siguro diesel para mura gasolina. Besides, I'm not really going out much. Lalo na ngayon,  napakatrapik. Kung kailan tumanda ako, aba tumitindi ang trapik. Parang ok magkotse pag malapit or sobrang layo ng pupuntahan. Pero kung kaya iFX or kung alam mo lagi trapik, parang mas ok pa macommute. Lalo na sa mga panahon ngayon, dami pa inaayos na daan, at malas malas, walang kwenta MRT.

Magkotse ako, hmmmm gabi siguro para madali magdrive. hehe Or sobrang maaga. Pag may gimik siguro, malamang dala ako kotse gaya ng nood ng sine or pag outing. Maganda nga pag crosswind para marami makasakay. hehe Or kung pang date, BMW. hahaha Dahil di naman maganda mga kalsada, ok na yun mga di masyado mahal na kotse. Kasi pag mamahalin, grabe, masisira ang kotse mo dahil sa dami ng lubak. 

Paano kaya pag bad trip, malamang mang trip ako lumabas sandali nakakotse, going nowhere for a while tapos uwi. Kaso, naisip ko din di ko gawin kasi nakakatamad magdrive, unless maganda sound system. Kaso dahil mahal ang gas, kahit diesel pa, aba mahal lumabas. hehe Tipid tipid din. 

What kind of car I like? Hmmmm basta BMW or if I'm super rich, Porsche. haha Billionaire, hmmm Zonda or Bugatti. Pesteng top gear yun, kaya ako naddik sa dalawang kotseng yun. Actually may iba pa, kaso hahaba lang ang post na ito. hehe

Kahit sedan or second hand, as long it runs, less maintenance, or manageable at great sound system. Yun ang kotse idrive ko. I just don't know when in this lifetime. hahaha Ah yes, di naman harurot agad o full speed, defensive driving na lang. Safe and sound na lang, wala naman ako need for speed unlike others. Unless kung malalate na ko. hehe

Places to go.. Somewhere less or no buildiings. Para maiba scenery. Probinsya malamang pero wag naman malayo, yun mga tipong 8 oras ka magdrive. hahaha

If I have my first car, color black or blue. Important. hehe Napapahingal na lang ako pag naiisip ko yun, sana nga makadrive ako isa..

Even once.. Alone or with somebody.. 

what if..

Que horror! Anyway, meaning what if they still rule for another well almost a lifetime. I don't know, maybe there is a lot of possibilities can happen..

First, we'll speak fluent, or perfect spanish. Even I don't put as a first love other language, spanish is like almost chinese.. I mean a lot of countries speak spanish and it's a good language to learn or even to speak. Amor! 

Second, a chance perhaps visit Spain. Well, I don't know the great places in Spain but it's looks like Italy but it is lived by Spanish people. I don't know but with the films I watched about spain or just pictures, it looks rustic but with a classic touch. 

Third, I don't know how the Spanish people treat us or example ah foreigners. As much times changed, I don't know if they will be still tyrannical or discriminating if they still own us. For my opinion, it's 50/50. Unlike British who well treat their colony after some time, I don't know with Spanish. Unlikely maybe?

Fourth, ah! Of course, despite their government has somewhat parliamentary type, correct me if I'm wrong, but we are still under the King's power. Which made them, strong at first but in the new millenia including these past years, they kinda sunk financial due to their own beleaguered crisis. They were not stable and you may blame the government or the monarch alone, but you should blame them all perhaps. So, if that happens to them, easily we'll be affected. Just a hunch.

Another, our culture will be definitely gone. I mean, I like our culture except for that procrastination, but our food, even our language or even our provincial culture will be or sadly, not preserve. It depends with the government, or maybe they'll allow us to keep it but it's also 50/50. 

Despite what their government or their Monarch have failed today, come to think of it, if they are our rulers, we'll have better infrastructure, or yet, we are part of EU?! Yeah right.. 

I'm thinking a lot of possibilities but one factor will stand out, we'll be mixed with a very, utterly, beautiful race! hahahahaha Men and women, darn right! Spanish people, simply one of the great looking people in the world.  I'm thinking what if I look spanish. =)

Not only beautiful race but also physically, I mean we could have somebody to compete for olympics or football and yeah, basketball! Come to think of it, we'll have pinoy players in Euroleague, 

olympics and better yet NBA?!

No está nada mal , una ilusión

Kung Ako'y Isang..

(engineer)

Habang naglalakad ako papuntang work eh ang daming ginagawa sa kalsada. Road work, nilalagyan ng aspalto yun daan para kuminis. Sa isip isip ko, nagtitipid lang ang gobyerno. Short term solution but it won't last. hehe Thanks to Dad na hindi lang Architect, kung hindi Engineer pa, tapos mechanic, carpentero and lahat na, alam na. Kaw na po Dad! hehe

Kahit mga buildings sa Makati or any high rise lalo na condos, the reason maganda ang building eh di dahil sa design or materials or even nice tiles or flooring, eh dahil na din sa engineering. Strength kung baga ng building using such design, lalo na wag naman po, earthquakes. 

Or kahit sa kotse, kahit anong ganda ng kotse eh kung sirain o ka karag agad sa kaunting mileage eh panget di ba. It lasts long kasi sa engineering ng car. 

Engineering also apply halos sa lahat ng bagay, furnitures, supplies, kahit appliances ata or even management!  

According sa Wiki, Engineering is defined as "The creative application of scientific principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes, or works utilizing them singly or in combination; or to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions; all as respects an intended function, economics of operation or safety to life and property"

Ibig sabihin it is an engineer's job to make sure that the design works under all conditions in a most safe and efficient way. Mahirap din pala work nila.

Naisip ko kung Engineer ako, anong field kaya?
Chemical pwede kaso may allergic reactions ako, sayang halo halo ng mga chemicals and check if it's safe, ok na! hehe

Mechanical, hmmm palpak ako sa physics eh. hehe Saka di ako nasanay magkalikot ng mga gamit, so ibig sabihin pati Electrical, malabo din. 

Geo/Gas is good! Wala naman masyado ata iisipin dun, kaso buhay mo naman ang alanganin lalo kung Mining? Geez, one step to death, all the time. Saka ayoko maassign sa Middle East or sa dagat pag Gas, grabe, kung hindi sa sobrang init at desolate places, mapipirata ka pa sa dagat! Kapapanood lang kasi ng Captain Phillips. hehe

Dalawa lang ang nakikita ko pwede ako. One is Civil Engineering which involves public works and roads, o kahit building. Malaking kita este matutulong sa lahat pag ok siyempre yun mga project kahit simpleng road project or drainage eh ok na yun ha. Lalo kung makakabawas baha o makakaayos ng trapik. Gusto ko kasi dito eh di ka naman gagawa ng malaking building, puro daan, flyover or even foot bridge. hehe Madali lang kung baga.

Lastly computer engineering, which for me suits me. I think it won't only deal sa software, kung hindi sa hardware din, yun strength ng every part of CPU or mobile computing. Lalo na sa mga panahon to, napakabilis magupdate ng software at lalo na ng hardware so it's an endless innovation and engineering to achieve the fastest, effective and smartest computing which we may end up making robots with AI in the future. It may come soon than what we think of.

Well, yun lang naiisip ko na bagay sa kin. Actually akala ko nung bata ako, pag engineer..

Siya yun may suot ng Yellow Hard Hat. hahaha

Kung Ako'y Isang..

(titser)

I thought of being one pero naisip ko matuto kaya ang mga students ko? hehe

I feel happy tuwing may nakikita ako na kahit anong subject or simply task from sa skul o kahit work eh nagagamit nila yun tinuro ko at naging helpful sa kanila. 

It's easy to teach one on one pero pag 30 plus students? I don't think I can handle that right away! 

As a student before, well I'm not really into having a close relationship with a teacher or prof. Pero may mga nag inspire sakin not to be one pero at least to do better in life. Lalo na recommendation or positive feed back or kahit mabait lang siya sa lahat ng students, I looked up to that titser. May iba na kahit di naman magaling or let's say di ko alam kung bakit siya naging teacher. hehe There were profs na masasabing ko kahit di naman masyado nagturo eh natuto naman ako sa experience nila. Parang goal kung baga. Marami akong prof na ganun lalo na sa commerce. 

Subject of teaching? Hmmmm As much gusto ko math pero di naman expert. hehe Ah pwede writing but I'm not Lit graduate. hehe Ah history! But it's hard to keep students perky.. As much I love history or social studies or anything about human interaction, it's really a boring subject. A lot of talking.. Talking and discussion. All in the same boring style. hehe I can make it lively maybe film showing or more activities siguro.

I will teach them in a more sharing way. Very technical eh nakakabore sa students so I'll make it personal and kinda strict. Lalo na sa mga pasaway na bata!! Marami pa naman these days. hehe But instead of punishing them dearly unless kung grave talaga offense, I still guide them, give them a chance to improve or change kasi di naman for me yun.. It's for them and their future.

Hmmm Ah!!!! I want to teach, not here or US.. Japanese High school!!! bwahahaha Manyak na to!!! Sensei, taskete!! Yosh!! hehe First choice. Second choice, hmmm private school here, please not all boys.. Kung walang no choice. hehe Coed sana. Third choice definitely in college, alma matter!! hehe 

Naisip ko nga, sa sobrang mahal ko sa UST, for example if I got really truly rich, I'll help their commerce dept or BA which now ha, improving at least. I want to see that college at par with the big universities here kasi lag talaga sila. Or even better than them. 

Sana mangyari yun, if God's will. hehe Unending grace. Indeed.

I have some look or routine siguro pagnagturo ako, hmmmm start an opening prayer or if non catholic or well basta siguro greeting na lang. Then start of updates, like review din tapos main topic of the day, o pag tinamad chikahan sa students.. hehe interaction perhaps. Then end ng session a prayer or simple good bye. Thank you for coming! hehe 

Alam ko risk ng being a teaher.. Open to not only bad or harsh criticism but the worst. Temptations, well lalo na sa HS.. then ehem.. Students well.. Oh well. hehehe Tapos power and authority figure, tempting din or it's for the good but minsan masama din sa sarili mo pag sumobra. You know.. 

Or sa lahat na nakikita ko or nakilala ko prof, common is either you marry late or remain single forever. Because yun mga teachers here or I mean any teacher has a heart or knack of mentoring kids, goes beyond mentoring.. Sometimes they became second family or parents kung baga. Mahirap maexplain pero most of them, ganun, they pour much effort to make sure kids will not only learn but to be..

A better person through sharing of experience, helping or guidance, motivation at higit sa lahat, making school fun! I know di lahat ng titser ganun pero may ilan they do that. More than their pay grade. 

At may ibang prof, bibigyan ka pa ng tips at ishare ko pa sa mga students ko pagnakataon lang. When it comes to choosing love or just looking for love.. 

"Pick and pick then you select!"

Nagbabasa pa din kaya siya ng dyaryo at inom ng kape ngayon habang nasa Klase? =)
