2 years ago, when I enrolled for an online course at UP Open University. This was an assignment. My Understanding of the Environment 08 July 2013 by Lyndsy Bartolome As a child when I was only starting to learn about things that surround us, I basically understood that what surrounded me was “the environment”, the physical setting – what I see, hear, taste, smell and touch. I have little

random thoughts: on responding

2013-01-28T20:56:00.001+08:00

"Huwag mong hanapin ang sarili mo sa iba..." heard it from a man who must have been through a lot in his life. It makes sense. Sometimes I get so frustrated with the expectations I set for myself, and for others as to how they should be. I tend to think that maybe others will be thinking the same way as I should. I'm expecting some kind of initiative from people, but it's just making me more

A story to inspire you all... Buddha was well known for his ability to respond to evil with good. There was a man who knew about his reputation and he traveled miles and miles and miles to test Buddha. When he arrived and stood before Buddha, he verbally abused him constantly; he insulted him; he challenged him; he did everything he could to offend Buddha. Buddha was unmoved, he

I know there are many of you out there - the 30-ish ones, who have been asked for the nth time. "why are you still single?"... Include me in that club! Sometimes, I really don't know how to react to that question, and if I should even answer. and sometimes I just tell them with a smile, "It's just that way." - teka, E BAKIT NGA BA? (next question please)Eto pa ang isa: "you're not getting

everyday, there are conflicts everywhere. it's the reality of life. one aspect that you cannot get out of. how would you know calmness without chaos? light without darkness? life without death?i have had my share of conflicts within myself. i find myself in the state of confusion every now & then. with so many theories, beliefs, facts, statements, or whatever you call them, i end up

i have this weird popping thingy on my right shoulder whenever i move it for months now, sometimes it hurts, but most of the time it's just there, popping. hehe! im not sure if this is due to my badminton playing. it hasnt given me problems anyway but i fear it will sooner or later. i have yet to see a doctor, but i also fear that... i fear that the doctor will advise me to stop playing! waaaah!

im just re-posting this Nov. 13 blog entry from my other account...just this morning… amazed by a trivia that a certain superstar owns a 3M pesos worth of bag, my boss is enjoying telling us stories about being rich, being poor. he told us a friend of his owns an expensive Bally bag which he carries around casually, and one day he asked his friend if he is not bothered owning such… this is when

"I'd rather be a COULD-BE if I cannot be an ARE because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a HAS-BEEN than a MIGHT-HAVE-BEEN, for a might have-been has never been, but a has-been was once an are." - Milton Berle...i have so many might-have-beens in mind. i'll get to them soon, hope time wont run out on me. if i cant get to them, then maybe it's not my fate to be

for the longest time, i've dated again... and it was good at first, then it turned out bad. blame it on my naivete. i've been out of this kinda thing. i usually just hang out with friends, no emotions involved, just pure hangout time.the guy was ok, he's a gentleman, he's sweet (or at least that's what he let me think he is err was.. i dunno). after the so-called date, he just disappeared, no

yesterday, while i was encoding a survey form (a side-line job, thanks to friends), i just came to a thought, a question without an answer: how come there's poverty?richness? i know i will never get an answer to this question, nor can i do something about it. has it something to do with luck? with chance? with destiny? are we all fated to whatever we've become?another realization... i somehow

i just wanted to post some reports that i did for the office... i got some data and other info from the monthly reports sent by our field personnel... i find it hard to write something which i wasn't able to experience and see, but somehow i got to finish writing them, maybe that's what they call "talent". hahahaha! talk about being confident errr... over-confident! here are two samples:-----

live with it!

2009-02-16T13:52:00.000+08:00

Everyday, when I pray to God, I tell him "Thy will be done unto me"... but sometimes, i cant help but ask WHY things happen to my life that way. I often tell myself to "Let Go, Let God", but there's this constant aching feeling in me that I cant get away from, that i cant get rid of. (hindi kaya bi-polar ako? wehehehe!) Siguro meron talagang mga tao na pinanganak na medyo may kamalasan... I hate

Every now and then, you may have read from my posts about my "quest", my searching for answers, directions, etc... that I may be getting nowhere, that life has not been that much good for me. Well, enough of that. I heard from an elder that two of the most important things that God has given us are TIME and CHOICE. I pondered on this thought for a while and made me realize that we should really

did any of you notice that playlists i've been posting lately are OSTs from Korean drama? hehehe! ok, i admit, i have been bitten by the korean wave/craze over their drama series. when everyone else was into it 5 yrs ago, i only got to watch a full series on DVD last year.it started when i heard a song from a korean drama (tagalized version), Autumn in My Heart. searched for it over the net and

question marks and my weird imagination

2008-03-17T07:56:00.000+08:00

i may have told few friends, one time or another, that i think im a big "question mark"... seems like i have no idea where my life leads to... always on the run but not getting anywhere. eto na naman ako... trying to find purpose again... haaay! ano ba! until now confused ako.. walang direction... although i try to live my life as decently as possible pero parang lagi may kulang. lagi akong may
