Don’t worry, be happy!

5. Hindi ka makatitig sa taong GUSTO mo, pero hindi maalis ang mga mata mo sa taong MAHAL mo.
*** yan ang unang unang mapapansin mo, dahil sa totoo lang halos hindi mo kayang tignan ng matagal ang taong gusto mo pero tuwang-tuwa ka naman tuwing tititigan mo ang taong mahal mo.

4. Kapag umiiyak ang taong GUSTO mo, aaluhin mo siya pero kapag MAHAL mo ang umiiyak, hindi mo napapansin na maging ikaw sa sarili mo ay umiiyak din.
*** kadalasan kasi kapag nakikita nating down ang taong gusto natin we will do anything just to brighten their feelings pero pansinin ninyo na kapag yung’ taong napakahalaga at mahal natin ang nasasaktan ramdam na ramdam din natin.

3. Nahihiya ka sa harap ng GUSTO mo pero kapag nasa harap ka ng taong MAHAL mo natural lang lahat ng kilos mo.
***pansin na pansin din to’ kasi kapag gusto natin ang isang tao we give our best foot forward para magpa-impress pero kapag nasa tabi na tayo ng taong mahal natin kahit na magmukha tayong tanga parang ayos na ayos lang lalo na’t para sa kanila ang ginagawa natin [am I right?]

2. Kapag ikaw naman ang tinitignan at tinititigan ng taong GUSTO mo magba-blush ka pero kapag yung taong mahal mo ang makikita mong nakatitig ‘sayo mapapangiti ka sa sobrang kakiligan.
***aminin ninyo, pansin na pansin naman diba, na kapag ‘yung crush o ‘yung gusto natin ang nakatingin may blush pero kapag ‘yung taong mahal natin hindi lang blush, nandyan pa yung mapapangiti ka na lang ng hindi mo napapansin.

1. kapag nagyaya yung taong GUSTO mo papayag kang sumama pero kapag MAHAL mo ikaw mismo ang gagawa ng paraan para makasama siya.
***ang pinaka matinding pangitain kung mahal mo ang isang tao ay kung ikaw na mismo ang gumagawa at nagiisip ng paraan para maextend ang pagsasama niyo.

Now that it’s all said and done,
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should’ve started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I’d doubt you,
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I’m slowly getting closure.
I guess it’s really over.
I’m finally getting better.
And now I’m picking up the pieces.
I’m spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I’m putting my heart back together,
‘Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through,
I got over you.

What is an educated Filipino and what qualities should distinguish him today?

The conception of education and of what an educated man is varies in response to fundamental changes in the details and aims of society. In our country and during this transition stage in our national life, what are the qualities which an educated man should possess?

Great changes have taken place in the nature of our social life during the last forty years. The contact with Americans and their civilization has modified many of our own social customs, traditions, and practices, some for the worse and many for the better. The means of communication have improved and therefore better understanding exists among the different sections of our country. Religious freedom has developed religious tolerance in our people. The growth of public schools and the establishment of democratic institutions have developed our national consciousness both in strength and in solidarity.

With this growth in national consciousness and national spirit among our people, we witness the corresponding rise of a new conception of education – the training of the individual for the duties and privileges of citizenship, not only for his own happiness and efficiency but also for national service and welfare. In the old days, education was a matter of private concern; now it is a public function, and the state not only has the duty but it has the right as well to educate every member of the community – the old as well as the young, women as well as men – not only for the good of the individual but also for the self-preservation and protection of the State itself. Our modern public school system has been established as a safeguard against the shortcomings and dangers of a democratic government and democratic institutions.

In the light of social changes, we come again to the question: What qualities should distinguish the educated Filipino of today? I venture to suggest that the educated Filipino should first be distinguished by the power to do. The Oriental excels in reflective thinking; he is a philosopher. The Occidental is the doer; he manages things, men and affairs. The Filipino of today needs more of his power to translate reflection into action. I believe that we are coming more and more to the conviction that no Filipino has the right to be considered educated unless he is prepared and ready to take an active and useful part in the work, life, and progress of our country as well as in the progress of the world.

The power to do embraces the ability to produce enough to support oneself and to contribute to the economic development of the Philippines. Undoubtedly, a man may be, and often is, an efficient producer of economic goods and at the same time he may not be educated. But should we consider a man who is utterly unable to support himself and is an economic burden to the society in which he lives as educated merely because he possesses the superficial graces of culture? I hope that no one will understand me as saying that, the only sign of economic efficiency is the ability to produce material goods, for useful social participation may take the form of any of any of the valuable services rendered to society trough such institutions as the home, the school, the church and the government. The mother, for example, who prepares wholesome meals, takes good care of her children and trains them in morals and right conduct at home, renders efficient service to the country as well as the statesman or the captain of industry.

I would not make the power to do the final and only test of the educated Filipino; but I believe that in our present situation, it is fundamental and basic.

The educated Filipino, in the third place, must have ingrained in his speech and conduct those elements that are everywhere recognized as accompaniments of culture and morality; so that, possessing the capacity for self – entertainment and study, he may not be at the mercy of the pleasure of the senses only or a burden to himself when alone.

There are, then, at least three characteristics which I believe to be the evidence of the educated Filipino – the power to do, to support himself and contribute to the wealth of our people; acquaintance with the world’s progress, especially with that of his race, people, and the community, together with love of our best ideals and traditions; and refined manners and moral conduct as well as the power of growth.

We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine

Now you want to be free
So I’m letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No!

You’ll always be a part of me
I’m a part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby

I ain’t gonna cry no
And I won’t beg you to stay
If you’re determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably you’ll be back again
Cause ya know in your heart babe
Our love will never end no

You’ll always be a part of me
I’m part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby

I know that you’ll be back girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder oooohhh
I know that, you’ll be right back, babe
Ooooh! baby believe me it’s only a matter of time

You’ll always be apart of me
I’m part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my my baby….

You’ll always be apart of me (you will always be)
I’m part of you indefinitely
Girl don’t you know you can’t escape me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
And we’ll linger on (we will linger on….)
Time can’t erase a feeling this strong
No way you’re never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you’ll always be my baby
Always be my baby

The "parang kayo, pero hindi" stage…others call it MU or mutual understanding. Pseudo-boyfriend, pseudo-girlfriend, pseudo-relationships. Almost like a relationship, but not quite. It is a phase where the persons involved are more than friends, but not quite lovers. Pwedeng naay verbal agreement, pwede pud wala. One or both of you may have admitted your feelings, posible pud nga wala. You just let your gestures do the talking for you. Walang formal courtship na nangyari! Pero the way mo mag – act, sa inyong mga gina-sulti, parang kayo, pero hindi.

It was cold and the whole world was so silent. It was 2:44 in the morning and still, I couldn’t get any sleep. My mind seems to be boundless. What was I thinking? I told myself. A different personality, as most people who knew me would say. I am much aware of the people in judging my characters; they say that I am much different as compared to those of my age bracket or to those little years older than me.

Different or strange, I whispered. Could it be that I still let myself held captive by my past? If that’s the case, then I’d kneel in front of my oppressors rather than having my font of hope to be demolished. But I won’t allow them to do so. I took my blanket off me, and walked towards the comfort room. I washed my face, and look at the mirror asking myself, “Do you really know who you are?”

Foolish as it seemed to be, I regret what I’ve said; after all, we knew ourselves better among others. I went back to bed. Looking at the ceiling, I wonder what my life would be in the near future. I really want to graduate and become a successful person. I kept thinking of the careers which I will have to pursue. I want to become an Information Technology specialist, a Web Developer, and a teacher; however, I’ve been always keeping in mind that formal education is essential in achieving my goals.

Time slipped by so fast. The night seemed to be endless as I checked the time from my cell phone. It’s 3:26 in the morning. I said to myself; my neighbors are asleep while I’m still awake—not because I work at an office just like my mother, but rather my mind was restless. Ever since, it was my mama who raised me alone. I haven’t seen my father. I think the last time that we’re together is when I’m still an infant. My father died early, when I was 1 year old. My mama said he died because of a colon cancer. I really can’t remember his face, the only memory he left was this picture I am holding now. It was me when I was still a baby, my papa and my mama; it was our family picture indeed! Long after my father died, my mother married another man, and now I have a step father and a step brother. I never regret anything in my life; after all I know all of this has its own purpose. Leaning my back against the frigid wall, I imagined and asked myself, if my papa was still here with us now; would I still be the same person as I am today?

As an only child, grown up without the presence of a father; I don’t consider my state as a nuisance. Though its quiet sad, but I admit, this is my fate. This is what GOD wants me to be, I know He has a good reason why is this all happens, and I know that He has a better plan for me. Even if I wasn’t given the opportunity to be nurtured by my father, God gave me my treasured friends and relatives who gives their comforts whenever I needed it; He has given me the best Mother in the whole wide world who’s willing to give her unconditional love and support, willing to give everything for me; He has given me the knowledge and talents that I must be proud of. And it was then that I’ve closed my eyes. Before I completely fall asleep, I come up with my realization – life is still worth living! With a smile on my face, I went back to bed and sleep.
