it's been a while :)

well to start off, i have been busy with my academics lately due to the fact that i have board exams to face after i graduate. i have realized that it will be very essential to put learning into heart rather than knowing only the principles. i have known many people who are very passionate and determined when it comes to the engineering sciences which also includes math as its backbone. i never wanted this feeling of mathematical and scientific alienation towards my classmates in engineering thus i have made very cautious acts when it comes to studying by squeezing the essence out of the books that i have been reading. to my surprise i have been very interested by studying by the roots which i myself was not expecting.

i have very competent classmates that are very brilliant towards their academics. as a student who only wants to get the relevant factors out of the different lessons ranging from various subjects, it was really not that easy to be caught in the bandwagon of math brilliance and engineering passion. it took a while for me to realize that i have spent too much time being idle on computer shops or wasting precious time on computer games. i also have come into realization that indeed with the absence of being hooked to the computers i have been able to have a better social connections with the people i hang out with.

it just goes to show that sacrifices must be made in order to make great changes and the concept that all of us have the same number of hours in a day which is also simply called as time is one of the greatest raw materials in the lives of human persons, doing much and doing less of the 24 hour time allocated for everybody will determine the 24 hours of the future thus doing more of what we have can always lead to success in the near future (delayed gratification)
- lessons that i learned in economics. :)

June 30, 2010

Time really goes fast especially in the political aspects here in the Philippines. Tomorrow, a new president will be inaugurated in front of the many people both local and international community. His main agenda is to purge the Philippines on the list of the top corrupt countries in the world pushing him to chase after the president that he will be replacing on the said day.

Noynoy Aquino, the presidential candidate of my family, possesses some qualities that my family has been looking for in a very long time. His landslide victory greatly represented the many Filipinos that have been tired of traditional politics. He believed that change can come from within and that there is no change if the system is not cleansed with anomalies. Believing in what he said, my family fully supports his political agendas as long as it is in the realm of morality and benefits the majority. This then leads us to having our June 30, 2010, a holiday, to be at our home and listen to the words that Noynoy will be promising and expecting in his term.

Leaving politics aside, there are also other things that I have to attend to on the same day. I will be blessed to have orthodontic braces on the said day. Many people might consider it minor but for me it has been a really big deal for in fact my family is situated in the middle class bracket with little to spend on luxury goods which includes braces. I feel very blessed and thankful to God, who has always been there for me and my parents that have allocated some money for some optional expenses.

June 30, 2010 is also the day wherein my Mechanical engineering block mates will be having their bonding activity in Guadalupe wherein they have to cross a river several times accompanied with prayer via station of the cross. I hope they have a fun trip that strengthens their bond not only socially but also religiously.

One rainy day.

well its been the second day of classes and some of my subject teachers are really not that persistent in showing up (yes they do this frequently and is considered by many as their tradition). I also observed some instructors who are not that effective in teaching a class composed of 45 students all in all many of which are male students in engineering and yes it has been one hell of a class the noise is mainly a collection of back biting, teasing and boasting - a scene wherein it is almost common in most other boring subjects.

What worries me more is that the said subject is one of my majors in engineering and learning little will really tell the difference in the near future especially in the board exams (this subject is about machine designing). My instructor back then was a very specialized Mechanical engineer that is really poor in terms of teaching. Even with his poise and voice, people cannot really tell the difference between him and another security guard XD. That being a side I still hope that things work out fine for this subject as it was one of the most sounding subjects that I have read in my prospectus "Machine Elements design" and I hope things will change for the better.

I arrived home wet and dead tired after forgetting that I have to buy a book that is required in my 8am class. I am still being hopeful though by not knowing the inevitable consequences for tomorrow. I opted not to watch the news for I am sure that it will surely make my day less happier due to the non-sense showbiz news and the traditional filipino bad news which are emphasized by most news stations.

The day was concluded with a sudden gush of rain. Overall the day turned out fine with some flaws but yet I am still thankful for it not being worse and that somehow made me classify it under "not so bad things happened/nothing much happened" type of day.

well that is all that mattered to me on june 21 2010 :)

Yay first post! :)

Hello everybody!
I finally made a personal blog for myself mainly to express my inner feelings and opinions about this ever changing world. I think it is about time to be able to express myself clearly through writing in these online blogs not only as a way of expressing myself but also to be able to know myself better. Eventually, I will be posting some articles that I have composed through my past years here in college :)
