Another coffee lesson
This is totally true...
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups."
"Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change." "Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."
"What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God."

nakakapagod na ang kaguluhan sa pinas. di ko lang maintindihan bakit nga ba sinisisi lahat kay gloria? walang trabaho? kasalanan ni gloria. walang makain? kasalanan ni gloria. eh iisang tao lang naman sya. eh kung yun bang ginugulgol nyo sa pagrarally eh ginagamit nyo nalang sa trabaho or sa paghahanap ng trabaho? eh di may naiuwi pa kayong pagkain sa bahay.
ay oo nga pala...may maiuuwi ka reng pagkain pag nagrally...bugbog ka nga lang.
hay...politiko tlga...kaya nasisira ulo ni miriam eh. di sa kinakampihan ko si gloria ha..dahil kung napatunayan na andaya sya eh poota sya...pero ang akin lang, who am i to judge her? andun ba ko? at tanong ko lang ha..kung natanggal si gloria..sinong papalit? si noli,,eh diba gusto na ren nila paalisin yun...eh wala ngang maiupo sa pwesto eh..lahat gusto isalpak sa upuan na yan..bakit ba, may taga masahe ba jan?
eh kesa ba magsiraan ng magsiraan ang mga politician, bat di nalang magtulong tulong para maayos yung bansa naten?who cares kung sino ang naka-upo. di ba dapat ang importante yung ikauunlad ng bansa? eh siguro naman kung maganda yung mungkahi mo kahit hindi pa ikaw ang presidente, papakinggan ka, diba? nawawalan na ko ng tiwala sa sistema eh, pero mas nawawalan ako ng tiwala sa tao. bakit kasi ganyan? ang mga pinagiinarte nyo, eh parepareho lang kayong may vested interest. sinungaling, mandaraya, gahaman, lahat naman kayo guilty jan eh.
sa mga nanggugulo sa administration, ilang taon nalang ba ang bubunuin ni gloria? kung paltan nyo man, di naman hahaba yun. eh kung yung mga pinapangako nyo eh gawin nyo nalang ng gawin kesa pa-rally rally lang kayo, wala naman nangyayari. diba? oo may posibilidad nga na nandaya sya non, o tapos?
kung iisipin mo nga, malaki laki naren naman ang ikinabuti ng pinas kahit papano. kung maabilidad ka, makakain ka ng 3 beses o mahigit pa isang araw, makakapag tapos ka sa pag-aaral...nasa tao naman yan e. di mo kaialngan maghanap ng sisisihin. oo may mga nangyayari sa paligid na wala kang magagawa, pero sa sarili mo, meron kang control dun. take things as a challenge rather than just whining about it all the time.
life's a battle. life's a game. but in the end...we're all going to die (oh diba ang layo ng timbre ko..just lightening things up..)

the recent scandal that involved my alma mater left me wanting to go back and stranggle Benitez to death. if stories were true, he purposely passed a fake DECS clearance to be able to be an archer. i know he's the not the only person who'd've wanted to be one badly but did he really have to do that? i know how varsity players are given extra attention and consideration with regards to their academics, that i can take somehow although i still think its quite unfair. but this caused us a championship, and moreover, im sure im not the only archer who's going through all the snide comments and offending trash talk from people around them. what he did caused every lasallian everywhere. it was as if we too cheated, that we all are just like him.
its just not fair.
give me some slack, i graduated, although with no academic excellence award whatsoever, but i did that like everyone else did. ive had the worst profs, drilled my mind for complex math problem solutions, presented in front of a panel from hell for so many times, i suffered through exams, spent sleepless nights making sure the storyboards are all polished and the powerpoint presentation has everything, ive carried huge lighting equipments not to mention heavy cameras and endured hours of editing for a weekly homework, i survived the trimestral system which some may think is a good thing, well believe me, it can be hell. we are expected to learn everything in a shorter span of time, and if you cant keep up, then buh-bye!
it just frustrates me how one person can affect a whole community. if you dont believe that one person can change the world then you must not be a lasallian. ive actually been trying so hard not to whine here about this but im on the brink of shoving a whole chair down the throat of the next person who'd talk to me as if it was my fault benitez did what he did or that we lasallians are all cheaters. i dont even effing like that gorilla!!!
he cant catch a ball, he cant bring it down, he's like a friggin volleyball spiker when he rebounds, HELLO...volleyball's at the other court dear! fine he does score, but he makes more mistakes than points if you analyze his game. if lasalle doesnt need bigman i dont even think he'd have a second of playing time. i swear its infuriating. if he was hell good, and if it was because of him that we won those games, i wouldve been less angry, at least he had something to do with the wins he had cost, but OH-NO..friggin gorilla..
anyone who reads this, spare me the comments, i may be smiling and laughing it off but believe me...i might just snap. and Benitez, if i were you id watch my friggin balls.

PINOY AKO PINOY TAYO!!
October 14, 2005
Recently, another beauty has graced our country, by winning the Miss International Pageant, Precious Lara Quigaman gave us Filipino a reason to feel proud of who we are, and quite at the most perfect timing. because of the current scandal that shook our administration, with rallies here and there, im sure many people are losing faith not only on our goverment but also to our people in general. the country is in chaos and the people who should be the peacemakers are actually the ones who's starting all this. how can you now say "taas noo kahit kanino" without having second thoughts..
then suddenly, she happened. out of the blue, im not sure if most people even saw her in the pageant. to be honest, it was only after she was coronated that i knew that there was a miss international pageant that day. see im not a big fan of beauty pageants, although i do try to watch miss universe just so i can join in and have my own bet, besides the Philippines of course.
anyway, it was just a news at first, then i saw her parading the streets of makati, and saw the people's reaction,,she was treated like a queen, well, she is if you think about it. anyway, that was when i first saw it. she was what we needed. it was the first time that a beauty queen being all over everything didnt bug me that much, or at least i did not just dismissed it with a "sus artista na yan oh" which im fond of saying, no offense.
and since i never got to watch her, im totally clueless how she won, im just proud she did..so you can just imagine how much more proud i was when i read this.
this was the Q&A portion..my gahd..what an answr!!
Q: "what do you say to the people of the world who
have typecasted filipinos as nannies?"
A: "i take no offence on being typecasted as a
nanny. But i do take offence that the educated people
of the world have somehow denegrated the true sense
and meaning of what a nanny is. let me tell you what
she is. she is someone who gives more than she takes.
She is someone you trust to look after the very people
most precious to you - your child, the elderly,
yourself. she is the one who has made a living out of
caring and loving other people. so to those who have
typecasted us as nannies, thank you. it is a testament to the loving
and caring culture of the Filipino people. and for
that, i am forever proud and grateful of my
roots and culture."
what's more perfect than that?? and to think that she thought of that in front of a live audience..id probably melt under the light..or freeze and they'd need to get men to carry me out. brilliant..heart-warming..perfect..she really deserves the crown and the respect she got from millions of Filipinos..me included.

You can never please everybody...a lesson I’ve always tried to live by, but find it harder than i thought to do so.
I’ve come to realize that I’m in constant scrutiny under prying eyes...and as much as i want to ignore it, my mind betrays me. i always tell myself, you are what you want yourself to be...and yet there are times when i look around and try to be what the people around me expects me to be, or at least what i think they expect. It’s tiring just to think about it. I find myself lost and torn, am i following my heart or someone elses? It’s been happening too often that I don’t even know the difference anymore.
i admit, i can be a pleaser...only because I’m trying, sometimes too hard, to rid myself of that label given to me...a disappointment. now i cant get how a word can do such damage to me, and why im letting it...like now...im aware of the things happening...I’m even blogging about it, but there are really just times when i ignore the things I shouldn’t and take those i need to ignore.
and then there are times when i think i was just being myself and people tell me to do otherwise...like doing something i like for example, of course when one is passionate about something, it is hard not to give more than 100%, then people tell you not to, the one time that i cease to please anyone else but myself and im deemed as trying too hard to please them..
In a perfect world, people would just let me be...and finally stop judging me.
