Ang BUHAY at PAG_AARAL ayon kay Bob Ong…

Ang BUHAY at PAG_AARAL ayon kay Bob Ong…

“Nalaman kong hindi final exam ang passing rate ng buhay. Hindi ito multiple choice, identification, true or false, enumeration or fill-in-the- blanks na sinasagutan kundi essay na isinusulat araw-araw. Huhusgahan ito hindi base sa kung tama o mali ang sagot, kundi base sa kung may kabuluhan ang mga isinulat o wala. Allowed ang erasures.”

“Kumain ka na ng siopao na may palamang pusa o maglakad sa bubog nang nakayapak, pero wag na wag kang susubok mag-drugs. Kung hindi mo kayang umiwas, humingi ka ng tulong sa mga magulang mo dahil alam nila kung saan ang mga murang supplier at hindi ka nila iisahan.”

Mangarap ka at abutin mo. Wag mong sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta, o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa’yo mga magulang mo, pwde kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka, mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa banding huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at bait sa sarili.”

Tuparin ang mga pangarap. Obligasyon mo yan sa sarili mo. Kung gusto mo mang kumain ng balde-baldeng lupa para malagay ka sa Guinness Book of World Records at maipagmalaki ng bansa natin, sige lang. Nosi balasi. wag mong pansinin ang sasabihin ng mga taong susubok humarang sa’yo. Kung hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon, hindi pa rin tayo dapat nakatira sa jupiter ngayon. Pero hindi pa rin naman talaga tayo nakatira sa jupiter dahil nga hindi nagsumikap ang mga scientist noon. Kita mo yung moral lesson?”

“Nalaman kong habang lumalaki ka, maraming beses kang madadapa. Bumangon ka man ulit o hindi, magpapatuloy ang buhay, iikot ang mundo, at mauubos ang oras.

Ang pasikot-sikot ng PAG-AARAL ayon kay Bob Ong…

“Mag-aral maigi. Kung titigil ka sa pag-aaral, manghihinayang ka pagtanda mo dahil hindi mo naranasan ang kakaibang ligayang dulot ng mga araw na walang pasok o suspendido ang klase o absent ang teacher. (Haaay, sarap!).”

Nalaman kong marami palang libreng lecture sa mundo, ikaw ang gagawa ng syllabus. Maraming teacher sa labas ng eskuwelahan, desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo. Lahat tayo enrolled ngayon sa isang university, maraming subject na mahirap, pero dahil libre, ikaw ang talo kung nag-drop ka. Isa-isa tayong ga-graduate, iba’t-ibang paraan. Tanging diploma ay ang mga alaala ng kung ano mang tulong o pagmamahal ang iniwan natin sa mundong pinangarap nating baguhin minsan…”

“Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buhay nila. Dahil wala nang mas kawawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa.

Dalawang dekada ka lang mag-aaral. kung ‘di mo pagtityagaan, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang kapalit. sobrang lugi. kung alam lang ‘yan ng mga kabataan, sa pananaw ko ehh walang gugustuhing umiwas sa eskwela.”

Gavin DeGraw

 
 
Gavin DeGraw - the man behind the One Tree Hill's soundtrack "I Don't Want to Be".  The 26 year old singer/songwriter/pianist/guitarist stands out in a market now flooded by the likes of John Mayer, Maroon 5, and Jason Mraz, by his voice alone. Gavin’s piano-driven blues-rock melodies are packed with lyrics displaying true emotions ranging from love, heartache, finding oneself, and just being young.
 
The album’s current single “I Don’t Want to Be” has received outstanding airplay on both MTV and pop radio.  The catchy refrain “I don’t want to be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately” is a great declaration of being content with yourself and what you want to do with your life.

However, while “I Don’t Want to Be” is very catchy and has done very well in the popular music scene, it is not the best track on this album in my opinion. “Follow Through” <yeah!> has a very addicting melody and sound that is hard to get out of your head. Other songs present the type of affectionate words of love DeGraw uses throughout the album such as these lines from “Meaning”: "Hail to the light that my baby watches me / In the darkness of the window / I can hardly get to sleep / Wish for the hour that / The night time soon shall pass / And the morning dew will bring us / To a day our souls can last / Love has a reason". Other representations of these romantic expressions are the slower ballad, “More than Anyone”, and “Crush” where Gavin’s soulful voice carries real emotion.

Gavin’s strong emotional sound and great enthusiasm, combined with his talents at guitar and piano allow him to stand out in the music world.
 
If you're not familiar with this man, you better watch One Tree Hill.
 
And oh! Check out his website wherein you can hear his songs for free, but you can't download it.  Not sure 'bout this thou, but I tried... many times.

Turkish Grand Prix

Looking forward to watch Turkish Grand Prix on Aug. 27, 2006.  Can't wait to see who will win this time. Will it be Schumi <Jon's idol! yeah!> or the Hungarian Grand Prix winner Button <what a luck?!>? or will it be the previous winner Raikonnen? or Alonso <most hated ni Jon>?
 
My bet? Schumi or Raikonnen... hehhe

Different Seasons

Funny, but this Johnny Hates Jazz hit song keeps playing in my mind for the past few days.  I used to like it when i was in... gradeschool??? yeah... gradeschool... hahaha... I remember my suitor once told me<hey! college days na ito!> that the lyricswas made just for me... huh?! I dunno! Can y'all tell me if my Mr. Bean look a like suitor is telling the truth? 


Different Seasons

There is a face deep in your mind
One that your heart won’t leave behind
Memories are cold-empty of laughs
And all that remains are photographs

(chorus)
When she’s gone there are no reasons
Nature’s cruel - it’s just different seasons
Going on and on

There is a voice deep in your soul
Telling your not to lose control
And day after day you hold back the tears
’cos pain is the greatest of your fears

(chorus)

There are no reasons
Say it’s only different seasons

What a day!

God! I miss my space sooo much... I haven't visited this since... I forgot!
 
Anyways, I've so much to post sana...but I never had a chance coz i ended up rushing my SRs to get the metrics that the geniuses want from their indio.
 
Well, this is just another bad day for me < hey! is there such thing as good day? coz I hardly remember the last time I had one...too bad for me isn't it?>
 
This morning, I had a huge fight with someone i'm sure you don't know <that loud mouthed neanderthal!>.  Then, I left our house as early as possible so I could have more time to sleep in the office<we have sleeping room there, in case you don't know>...On my way to the office, the gurl beside me puked! Damn! I hate it coz it made me want to blow too.
 
Then, as I was walking through our hallway on the way to my locker....great! I left my favorite adidas jacket in the van that I rode in to. 
 
I went outside the office to smoke and buy food for dinner only to find out that the food chains are all closed! It's sunday today, by the way!
 
I ended up buying a stuffed pandesal and my never ending gatorade<tropical flavor> at 7-11.... sigh!

I'm not where ur at...

 

I just got back from a 4 day vacation and as I entered in to the office... whoooaaa... can somebody tell me what are those slim pcs doing in the middle of our workstations? Those were supposed to occupy 2 computers, how come they put each in the middle?  

Oh, I know now! Other Reach accounts are moving... The geniuses came up with this whole damn thing again! And again!

Rubbing elbows? Not really, coz if they do, I sure want to poke at my seatmate's elbow as soon as it touches mine!   

But, look at the brightside of all these... I can again use the line "still adjusting to sudden turn of events” for my unfinished SRs. Got more and more excuses for not reaching our metrics! But hey! What about my PMP? What about my yearly increase? And the geniuses outwit me again.

 What’s next?  LIFO? Haha… after 4 years and 4 months of my stay in this company, I personally want to take care of my baby and be a full time mom.  And maybe find my fortune in other company after 1 year.  Got some plans, I just couldn’t leave my friends behind.

Abs Mode

 

Don’t ask me why.  I don’t exactly know the reason.  All I know is that some things are not meant to happen and you have to deal with it, coz u cant do anything about it.  Ganun talaga.  We sometimes do things not because we want to, but we have to.
