I consider myself as Filipino, a full blooded Filipino with hispanic tradition and influence and some oriental background. I am not saying I have a Spanish blood or whatsoever feature, because I don't see that in myself. My great grandparents are mestizos (Spanish looking) and would speak fluently and pray in Castilian, but it all wiped out from generations. Some of my relatives still have the

Separation Anxiety

Every time my students said goodbye I also wanted to say goodbye to the academy where I am working. (Sigh... I am again dramtic, sorry! hehe) At first I tried to be heartless and cold because I know they come and go. At times when I sat in my cubicle the voices, footsteps, and laughter of my former students phantoms me. I know this is called separation anxiety, in effect every time I have a new

One morning I was walking going to work. I felt disappointed with no clear reasons. I feel gloomy while the sun shining with excitement. Mesmerizing the past into a kaleidoscope of ambivalence. Randomly confused.After I graduate in College I passed all the licensure examinations not just in the Philippines but also in the United States. With no intention to brag but just a random thinking at this

Wrong Intelligence

There are people who easily stereotype things, places, and even people. What's wrong with stereotyping? If you stereotype, you usually judge or label anything without an actual and thorough research. Instead of arriving into a correct conclusion. Our decision has been affected by the misleading information, which eventually makes us a poor decision maker. It is so easy to stereotype, usually

Another hearts day had passed, another month of love, another year that cupid was missing. Valentines Day is the most exciting day for the lovers. The most cherished one by the growing lovers.

Ever since, I never believe in luck but I tried to appreciate it and try to use it, because maybe my friends wants to hear it. I believe that everything had a reason, and usually I equate phenomenas to the different laws I am familiar with; be it religion, philosophy, and even science. Take for example the most popular Law of Reciprocities, in the Bible it is stated this way: "Do good to others,

At some boring moment hanging on this MYSPACE I got elated to write these words whom I know few would open and read or even none at all. Since I realized that maybe I was the only one reading my blogs then probably I would enjoy it much for I can write some private thoughts that no one could possibly noticed. In such case I would love reading back these words in the future, and analize how stupid
