Filipinos should stop making excuses, admit their mistakes and try push themselves more to do better...

Try to read this blog post from Definitely Filipino
"Filipinos on News Events Part 2: Reaction to Daniel Wagner's "The Philippine Bus and Miss Universe"


I admit it myself that Filipinos are the ones being described at that post...
Me, myself, is guilty of that.. Whenever I fail an exam or quiz, I do make excuses to...
But since then, I learned to accept that it is really my fault why I failed...
I spend more of my time in front of the computer, visiting Facebook, playing online/offline games, or sleeping, when I can spend more of my time wisely by reading my books and studying...
Now, I'm trying to improve myself so that I wouldn't regret it again...
I promise myself to study harder than before...
seriously...

Another typical example are my friends...
They do mistakes in their college studies and I know that they regret that thing...
I won't tell what really happened to them, but for me, I would consider that mistake as a MAJOR MISTAKE COMMITTED BY A STUDENT WHO CAN DO MORE OF THEMSELVES...
Now, they promised to do more, study more, strive more..
But I notice that nothing have changed in the way they study...
They would typically doing everyday studies easily...
I don't see them pushing more than before...

Another example is one of my family member...
My father has no job right now...
He keeps on waiting for a job to come...
When I really felt bad and mad at him the last time...
He noticed that I wasn't treating him dearly for being my father...
I'm so angry that he don't made any move to improve our family...
He told me: Ano bang maggagawa ko, ganto ako, di naman ako nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral
Remembering those words makes me think that he don't want to change his own life...
I have seen many people like him but did make it to improve their living...

Another one is my brother...
He is really not good at school...
He admit it that he is not really good at studying yet he won't do anything to improve himself in school...


I just remembered another one...
I just met her through a facebook page that is dedicated to make condolences to the Hongkong people for the bus tragedy...
she's a Filipina...
I posted at that page's wall and said that I'm really sorry for what had happened to their fellow Hongkong citizens... I also wrote there that 'WE ADMIT IT THAT SOME OF OUR PEOPLE ARE AT FAULT...
she's to hot and harsh that she commented at me that I SHOULD ONLY ADMIT IT MYSELF... didn't I wrote the words SOME OF OUR PEOPLE?
and one more thing,
the first thing to forgiveness is to admit your mistake...
admitting your mistake is not the same as eating your pride...
for the sake of peace, I just removed my post and rephrase it by telling that I'm sorry for what had happened...

Enumerating those examples, I really did realized that it's typical among us, Filipinos...
We always commit mistakes, do excuses for our mistakes, and do nothing to improve ourselves...

I am just one among these Filipinos...
But I will strive to change that mentality...
I'll start it with myself and my family...

Hongkong Nationals WOULD be Discriminating to Take Personal Actions Againsts OFWs

I would understand if Hongkong Nationals feel the anger right now...
We would also feel the same if we are in your situation..
But to take it personally against the Filipino people is too discriminating...
You should not blame a whole nation for the action of one of its people...
Retired Police Mendoza is JUST ONE among the many Filipinos...
We admit it that our policemen are at fault..
BUT THEY ARE JUST FEW AMONG US...
Just take into consideration the service and care offered by Filipino Domestic Helpers there in Hongkong..
The way they treat your family as their own...
It would be really racially discriminating for them if you are to fire them just because of that hostage-taking event...
Let say this happened to Filipinos there in Hongkong...
OR
How 'bout the abuse and maltreatments suffered by OFWs there in Hongkong?
How would you feel if we are to do the same thing against your people?

I know and I understand that you are just agitated by the loose media coverage by the Filipino press..
We hear news about maltreatments suffered by SOME OFWs there in Hongkong but we remained calm and NOT discriminating...
We prefer to keep our silence and let the legal actions get justice for them...

In the end, I would say that
racism has no place in a civilized world

P-Pop featured in KMJS

P-pop feature in KMJS...
Here are they...

Xlr8...

They're more like a Korean-band...
sana more on Filipino touch naman...
yung tono pa ng kanta nila, ala-Korean talaga...



here's another one...


Pop Girls

from the same P-Pop records of Xlr8..
the way they dress, the way they dance is much more Korean..

sa totoo lang,
nakakarindi na marinig ung Korean-style music..
(sorry for k-pop lovers)

my classmate is a great addict of k-pops...
I can't barely understand kung bakit sila kaadik-adik...
sometimes I would even think that some k-pop songs are baduy!
minsan kasi nakakapalti na ng tenga yung mga kanta nila...
minsan nga, I would notice that some male korean stars do look feminine... something like that...

Yeah! I admit it that I have been once a j-pop fanatic...
but ever since there were less-aired anime shows on television,
my j-pop addiction just turned down...

Did you notice it?
Korean culture has been invading our own culture through television...

siguro, if Korean Dramas would be less aired here in the Philippines,
then it would be at OPM's advantage...
mababawasan yung pagka-adik ng mga Pinoy sa mga Koreans...

I hate to say this, pero Pinoys are really "kulang sa originality"
I know this, because when I hear some Asian music or songs...
I could tell if it's Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese or Chinese...
alam mo yon?
yung naririnig mo palang yung music accompaniments ng kanta...
kahit di pa kumakanta yung singers...
alam mo na...
yung may distinctive characteristic ba!
j-pops are more on rock...
k-pops are more on dance...
c-pops are more on ornamental music...
yung ganon ba?

I just remembered...
A Korean Drama series aired in GMA7...
Glass Shoes...
The ending song is a Korean version of Regine Velasquez's Pangako...

sana ganon man lang...
di ba?
sana magkaroon man lang novelty ang mga Filipino songs and the Filipino music...

By the way, this post is not intended to discriminate any race...
The author does intend to express her feeling regarding the Filipino people's addiction to other Asian music rather than their own...

Thesis Mode...

My groupmates went here at home for two days...
They decided to go here because I'm the only one who has computer and has internet connection...
Sometimes, I would like to tell them that I'm not really agreeing to that decision; making the thesis here at home...
I can't tell them that, we have some financial problems..
And one more thing...
When they go here, instead of making the thesis...
Some would even just play...
Nothing happens...

My suggestion is to divide the activities among ourselves...
Then everyone is pushed to do their task...
After that, they will present their finished work to the group for review...
You would not even use a computer...
Just write your work on a piece of paper...

Di ba mas mabuti un?
Marami nang maggagawa
Di pa masyadong magastos...

Hay!
Ang hirap naman kasi...

Piles of Problems

Piles of problems on my way...
I'm so worried with my taxation class...
I just know the lessons from Chapters 1-4..
The last quiz was all about Chapter 1-6..
And I got a not-so-good grade...
Because of the not-so-good grade, I was pushed to borrow paluwagan's fund...
I paid the book to avail the plus points...
It just add up to my stress...

I've been thinking how will I able to pay my debts...
Especially the payment for the books...
Right now, I have already paid three books...
Including the one paid through paluwagan's fund...
All in all, I need to pay P2000+ for the books...

I've been also thinking about my mom's debt on the paluwagan's fund...
It's really accumulating...
It's now P1,500+

I'm really so stressed...

The midterms would be on Wednesday...
I need to read 40 Sections in law..
And three Chapters in AIS...

The next Sunday would be the midterms for Management Consultancy...
I have already read 3 chapters and I need to read 17 more...

Actually, the midterms is not the big problem but MONEY!



Often, the secretary of the class would approach me for the payment of the books...
I would just say some alibi...
I don't know how will I able to pay that thing...

I just can't tell my mom about that
She's thinking 'bout money problems too...

I wish I could be as innocent as toddlers...
not thinking bout piles of many problems...
They're so innocent..
Just playing around..

After the Sunday Mass, I went to my room..
I cried silently so that no one would notice...
I can't help but cry...
All the problems piled up...

I feel like pinagsakluban ako ng langit at lupa...

I have no one to run after...
No one to share my problems but this blog...
Hey, blog! How would you react 'bout my problems?
How would you deal with it?
As if you would answer me back in return...
