the one with 32 lessons

30 09 2007

Change of Plans.

Instead of my English12 term paper be about various criticisms on C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia (which I haven’t read by the way), my paper would instead be about the life lessons I’ve learned form the pieces discussed in English12.

I know it’s kind of emotional and mushy, but at least I wouldn’t have a hard time doing this paper. Besides, I’ve really learned a lot of stuff and lessons from the pieces that we discussed that could be very well applied in our daily lives. Also, my professor also prefers this topic over the previous one. Weird.

Anyways, since there are a lot of lessons I’ve learned, or rather quotable quotes, here’s a long list of the lessons we, or I, have encountered.

  1. Pride goeth before Downfall.
  2. Whom the Gods wish to destroy first makes them Angry.
  3. The Law is not a tyrant. We must only aline ourselves to it so that we could Benefit from it. Break it and we will punish ourselves.
  4. There is no sin. There is only Ignorance.
  5. Absolute Right and Aboslute Wrong exist.
  6. No one has the Right to Kill.
  7. Fools learn by Their Mistakes. The Wise learn by the Mistakes of Others.
  8. A Great Man shows his Greatness through his Gentleness.
  9. To commit Sin is Easy. To do Good is Difficult.
  10. The inevitable fate of all humans – Death.
  11. It is not the Length of Life that matters. It is the Impact.
  12. Evil is a Reality we have to contend with.
  13. Sinners bring destruction to those whom they love.
  14. If the Dao can be the Dao, then that is not The Dao.
  15. Each one has his own Perception of God.
  16. The Divine is One, but has many Names and Forms.
  17. Religion is just a Means to get to God.
  18. The Form or Ceremonies of God are not important. What is important is the understanding that God is Truth.
  19. Your loyalty does not belong to the tribe. It belongs to God.
  20. Absolute Good is at War with Absolute Evil.
  21. Be True to Yourself, and search for Your Soul.
  22. The Only Thing I Know is I Don’t Know Anything.
  23. Doing Unto Others as You would have them Do Unto You.
  24. You Can Change Your Destiny.
  25. Every Cause will generate an Effect.
  26. Everything that happiness to us is a Consequence of what we have Intentionally thought, said, or done in the past.
  27. Nobody punishes you and Nobody rewards you but you.
  28. One with Faults should not fear to Correct Them.
  29. An Ordinary Man fears Consequences. A Wise Man fears Causes.
  30. Money is Not Everything. But Without Money, you can’t do Anything.
  31. You were Born Alone. You would Die Alone.
  32. Doing Good is the Best Guarantee to have a Good Death.

Some people might not agree with the lessons stated above. Even I don’t agree with some of the lessons above. But still, some people might. It really depends on your perception of things.

And besides, they really look, or sound, like quotable quotes or words of wisdom. Haha.

Go Term Paper Go!





the one being simple

29 09 2007

Matagal ko nang gustong baguhin yung layout ng blog ko. Ewan ko kung bakit. Para kasing nakakasawang tignan yung mga pagmumukha ng mga tao sa background eh. Nakakasawa na rin na pag nasa internet shop ako at firefox ang gamit, nagkakaewan-ewan yung layout at blog. Kaya eto. Eh since wala naman akong oras para mag-photoshop at mag-ayos ng code, yung nasa blogger na lang na template. Haha.

Simple. Hindi maingay. Something new. Para naman maiba. Haha.

Kaya ganyan. Hayaan niyo. Pagdating ng sembreak, baka magkaroon ako ng oras para sa mga ganyan. Ang dami kasing kelangang gawin. Oh well.





the one about next week

28 09 2007

For a very weird reason, the background doesn’t seem to show itself in this computer. Is it just this one? Or all of you guys reading this entry is experiencing it too? Haha. I’ll guess I’ll see for myself later when I get home… or tomorrow if my body doesn’t permit me.

Just took the final exam for my Kas1 subject. Not hard. Not easy as well. But I guess I’ll have a good grade at that test. Wait, I SHOULD get a high score from that exam bexuase that’s 20% of our final grade. Dun dun dun dun… x_X.

But, looking at the bright side of life, no more 7:00 subject next week. And if I get lucky, there would also be no more 9:00 classes next week because (i think) today’s our last day for PE. Hooray! That would only mean that next week, my classes during Tuesdays and Fridays would start from 11:30. What joy!





the one about term papers

26 09 2007

Dahil punong-puno ng mga submissions, long tests, at kung ano-ano pang requirements, minabuti ko nang simulan ang dalawang huling pape na aking isusumite sa ika-5 ng Oktubre 2007. Oo, dalawang magkaibang subject, isang araw ang deadline.

Mahirap pala gumawa ng huling papel, lalo na sa Kas1. Sa Kas1 kasi (at least yung mga under kay Mam Wani), kelangan naming gumawa ng papel tungkol sa isang lokal na kasaysayan. Napili ko ay tungkol sa simbahan sa Los Banos, ang Immaculada Concepcion.

Konti pa lang ang aking nasasaliksik.

Konti pa lang ang nagagawa ko.

Konting oras na lang ang natitira.

Wah!

at 15% (ata) siya ng grade.

May Eng12 pa pala. Pero eto mas konti ang pressure. Pag nagustuhan ng prof ang papel mo, tataas yung final grade mo by 1 step. Pag ayaw niya, walang magbabago sa grade mo. Napili ko ay yung mga kritisismo sa libro ni C.S. Lewis na pinamagatang “The Chronicles of Narnia”. Konti pa rin lang ang nagagawa ko dito. Wah!

Andami kong dapat gawin…

Pero gumagawa pa rin ako ng blog entry…

magaling magaling magaling!





the one about the internet connection

23 09 2007

Kelangan kong magmadali.

Nakakainis ang Internet Connection sa bahay. Lagi na lang na-didisconnect.

Hindi ko tuloy naupload ng sabay-sabay lahat nga alumni homecoming pics dahil sa pa-on-and-off ng net. Grrrr…

Nabura tuloy yun mahaba kong entry na kanina ko lang ginawa.

Hindi ako makapag-YM ng matino.

Hindi ako makapa-research sa buhay ni C.S. Lewis.

Hindi rin ako makagawa ng matinong e-mail para sa mga term papers ko.

Grrrrrr…

Be steady. Must publish….

NOW!





the one about the new laptop

22 09 2007

Wahahahahaha!

May bagong laptop ang bahay! Haha.

Dahil nasira yung laptop nung isang linggo, bumili si dad ng bagong laptop. Haha. Kasi ba naman, 30k ang kelangan para mapaayos lang yung laptop na yun. Kaya eto, bumili na lang si Dad ng bago. Hehe.

Acer na siya. Aspire 4720. Hanapin niyo na lang sa net kung anon hitsura niya. Hehe. 1GB DDR2. Intel Core2 Duo. 120GB HDD. Bluetooth. Vista. etc. (nakalagay kasi sa laptop yung features kaya nalagay ko. haha.)

Haha. Syempre, sa bahay lang tong laptop na to. Asa pa akong pwede ko tong madala kung saan saan. Sayang. Ang gaan pa naman niya. Oh well. Kaya nga may USB sa mundo eh. Haha.

Nakakatuwa ang bagong laptop.

Nakakatakot din kasi baka mamaya masira ko. Wah!

Haha. Destructive pa naman ako pagdating sa mga ganitong bagay. Naka lima o anim na cell phone, nakawala ng CD player, at kung ano-ano pa. Haha. Sana hindi ko to masira. Sana hindi to masira.

Mamaya na lang ako magiinstall ng YM.

Ewan ko kung magiinstall pa ko ng limewire. Ano yung program/webpage na pwede din pagdownloadan ng mga bagay bagay pero by album ng lang? Torrent ba? Or kung ano man yun? Andrew? Alam mo to. Haha.

Hindi na ko pupunta sa mga internet shop dito sa LB. Haha. Pwede ko na rin masimulan ang aking mahihiwagang term paper! Yeah!

Deadlines to meet:
Sept28: KAS1 FINALS
Oct2: KAS2 MAP EXAM; ENG12 FINALS
Oct3: CHEM16 4TH LONG EXAM; MATH17 3RD LONG EXAM
Oct5: KAS1 FINAL PAPER; ENG12 FINAL PAPER

O diba? Saya ng hell week ko! Woohoo!
