'After X Years'

 

     It is an irrefutable fact that all of us wanted to be a successful person in the future, specifically after X years. Indeed, success sounds good to the ear - an achievement we can be proud of, something that everyone wanted to earn but only few obtains. It is the ultimate goal of everyone even though what life status they are in as long as they have the drive to do it, the race for success will surely come in their way...

     ...Accountant, Engineer, Doctor, Teacher, Architect are only some of the so many professions we wanted to be. But for me, I went on with my strength, I chose an accounting profession. I studied harder, I worked overnight, I brought out the best in myself to a steeper uphill hike towards my dream. And after the pain-staking journey, I finally reaped the fruit of success - being an accountant. Later, out of the blue, I just woke up one sunday morning, a somewhat idea just rushed on my psyche: What if I add another title on my name? It's like I'm not yet contented on what I am now. Then right after that, I decided to take...Engineering. Like the tasks and schedule I usually do in my accounting-course years, I also used this kind of style in studying to cope up with my Engineering class. Before we jump to conclusions, I also found in this years, my love - my life. So here I am now, proud to say: I am Acct.,Engr. Edrian M. Alonzo.

     Honestly, it's not really coincidence or luck that brought me here. It's just I didn't stopped believing, it's just pure hardwork. So lucky am I, I was now savoring this happy and successful life because I really exerted much effort on. I have a strong determination, understanding, proper guidance, always carrying the quote from Paulo Coelho," If You Want Something All The Universe Conspires In Helping You To Achieve It." and to topped them all, I still centered my vision to God.

     "Life is like a race and you are racing against time - to achieve everything you wanted to before your time runs out..."

'Status Upgrade'

     The shadow of 2013 was finally out of sight. Against its back looms  another new year - 2014:the wooden horse. It is therefore, most of us had already started relentlessly seek and build better lives or what they called "New Year's resolution". Diving in this globally competitive and fast changing world needs an attitude that seems to carry the weights of all challenges that we will be facing. So as early as now, think of it.

     By the way, If we talk about new year, what will your mind give off? Is it the idea of changing or improving your life into betterment? Or just staying still with your old character complexion? Or beautify your outer image and be in with the 3rd world fashion? Whatever might be your response to this question depends now on your hands. The time that was laid upon us was recently reset thus, signifies a start of new chapter of our life...

     For me, as my new 365-paged book was again published, I believed and hoped I had nothing to change...I will just go on with my old me. All I can do now for sure is to IMPROVE and IMPROVE them one-by-one. Basically, I will start from the very effortless actions to the deeds that needed a high patience and superfluous effort.

     Strength Upgrade: Hoping this year, I will gain extra, extra weight. I will try my very best to eat a lot even though the platter of foods that will be serve on me is quite distasteful and unsavory. Nevertheless, I have a trust that this food is healthy means it will give nutrients that essential to my body that will lead to a good body physique. And lastly, I will not escape anymore any fixed time meals because I heard on the lifestyle news before that eating on the right time proves a greater and beneficial effects.

     Dexterity Upgrade: Amidst the full blast schedule I entered in, all I need is fast and instant action. In order for me to follow and not be  left and drown on the raging stream of tasks, I will be more productive and used the time properly to the point that not a single hour will be wasted. I will try to shook off the ma?ana habit I was doing before and I wished it will never come back again.

     Stamina Upgrade: It is ordinary that everyone of us notified anytime. Thus, did you encountered in your point of life wherein you cannot withstand anymore the challenges that was thrown on you? If yes, we are in the same condition. So, for now and then, I will exert to endure more time in the different activities I am working such as I will do advance studying and reviewing of notes with long duration and I will be alert on my time so that I will be getting an eight-to-ten hour long sleep.

     Control Upgrade: It is obvious that some of us cannot control in spending our money if we were given. We always tend to spend a fraction of our it even though it is not necessary and worth it. This was the overall concern that I want to change. The consequences rather of changing so is that, if in times of financial crisis, I had my means of survival. Also, it is a great way or precautionary capital in facing what the future holds.

     If this happens then, I will consider it as pinnacle of success. But if not, better luck next year. As the quote sa's "Try And Try Until You Succeed", if not today "Seek and Ye Shall Find" tomorrow. That's all I want to say...I'm out of wo.r..d...s.

Reminiscence 3.exe

    

     3rd grading so far so good. Even though this period was considered to be the most pain-staking period so far, hopefully, I can still managed to surpassed it with the aid of the bunch of ideas that still remained in my storage or the so called "empathy of the past." Lets turn tables, if these interlinking neurons quarantined in my brain happen to be impaired, it would rather be the most epic grading for me.
     By the way, I considered this period as the most arduous because it happened to be the stream of outside-the-school activities and inter-campus as well such as the RYLA, DSPC, RSPC and others. The consequences of joining the aforementioned was that I was stocked up with mountains of requirements in different subjects. Like a stiff puppet and as if I can divide myself to hasten in garnering the outputs, I forced my body to continuously work on it. I have no choice but to do the activities thrown on me. I just abiding the laws of being in the Special Classes and one of the candidates in honor roll.
     Next opponent: Periodical Test. Frankly speaking, I don't have the notes - the only thing I considered to be my weapons on the test. So, without anymore hesitations, I just photocopied all the notes of my friendly friends. Two days later of prolonging the agony, the results of the tests finally came along the way and it ended on an nice way.
     With the recently concluded grading period, luckily, I absorbed some golden lessons and here are they: I learned to be patient always, be alert and industrious enough in taking down notes and regularly reminisce the famous quote from Anonymous, "Time is Gold." You know, not using time to its fullest causes great troubles that is so hard to dwell.

Quintessence

  Christmas is an all-out-fun season thus, it is considered the most wonderful time of the year. Certainly, Christmas is fast approaching. We are already almost two weeks away from the most awaited and beautiful time of the year.

408 hours before we put those mouthful graham cakes that we are usually craving for.

24480 minutes before we summon in the single table of bliss and glee that we are usually dreaming for.

1468800 seconds before we worship the birth of our dear Jesus Christ that we are usually devoting for.

There is very minuscule time left on the clock before we again see the famous Santa Claus. 

     As we all know, it is an annual commemoration of the birth of our dear creator, Jesus Christ. It is generally celebrated by Christians around the globe. In accordance to Christmas, people tend to observe "exchange gift" as a sign of gratitude for each individual’s help or love to another person, some also do church services such as "Simbang Gabi" as we call it, as praise for our dear Jesus Christ. Some families, even though they are away, convene in a single vicinity for gatherings. In school and in working place, we had a habit to make a Christmas Parties but the most common of all traditions, people place ornamented and bright decorations around their houses like Christmas lights, Christmas trees, lanterns, etc.

     We also thought of Christmas as the best day to forgive all the people who have sinned you and also the best day to stop thinking about all the things that must be forgotten. It is a time to for us to be in our happiest mode and we should not think of the problems in the past. If you do, this will ruin your Christmas time so get rid of it. 

     Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, take Christmas as the best day ever...fun, grandeur, laughter, sparkling, bright, glee. Ryzza Dizon once said,  "Bawal ang sad dapat happy" Merry Christmas everyone! Spread the love coz this is the quintessence of Christmas.

       

     

     

       

Equivalence

           It cannot be denied that we are now living in a world where rivalry has already arose. It is obvious from all walks of life that inequity continue living. Therefore, stepping to the rights of others still divulging from every corners, opportunities can't be grab by a single grasp of an ordinary inhabitants and the discrimination among men and women, which is hot-issue in our society, is still occurring.

         It is really awful to live in a discrimination-contaminated realm because we are not given equal chances for everything. Moreover, there is a great tendency that the rights which everybody craves for will not be given fairly and so with various opportunities that everyone should be enjoying by now. It's a total iniquitous.

           

         "Anti-Discrimination" should be the chief concerns of our bureaucrats from the very start of their presiding. Nevertheless, it not yet too late to bring back the olden times right? Nothing is impossible in the eyes of everyone especially with the supervision of God . "Impossible is not an option."

          Perhaps, you've already imagined an injustice-free world and where equality reigns. You will surely 

foresight a better way of living and a greatly progressive nation. Provided that everyone act and lend a hand, quests will surely completed. We are equal but then again, they still say that men are stronger than women. Examine your surroundings. In this modernity, women act as men. They are the one who earn their living in their family; they do the jobs that are intended for males. With that, gender not speak anymore because gender equality was already brought out. Every individual should be given appropriate rights he or she truly possesses regardless of gender.

          Equal rights should be observed and so with equal opportunities. Execute this and evolution will clasp our environs and the human race.

Bridge of Communication

      Planet Earth has subdivided into countries. The local of each place have their own cultures, traditions, beliefs and of course, languages. Therefore, in order to have superior and better communication we should learn and master the "Universal Language", the English.
      The English language cannot be denied is at present considered the leading language in the world since it is the common language spoken everywhere. And in my general opinion, English has generally been adopted as a second language especially in Southeast Asian Countries like the Philippines.
      English has been playing a major role in many sectors including medicine, engineering, and education, which, in my opinion, is the most important arena where English is needed. Over the years, the nation received compliments regarding our fluency in English speaking. Since we start schooling, the English language is widely used standard in teaching. Honestly, this practice is beneficial to us since we can easily get a job as long as we can speak and understand English.
       If you can communicate in English, you can contact people from all over the world, talk about your ideas and opinions. Secondly, you can travel more easily by communicating with people wherever you go. Ask directions, have a conversation, or ask for help. As you know that English is an international language, which is spoken by a majority of population in the world. So you do not have to worry about being totally misunderstood when you visit a new place or country. Other powerful influences of English can be seen or heard on television, radio and motion pictures because they used the standard English of today.
        Indeed, the English language will keep anyone abreast of the times. It will enable him to join the stream of the world culture and to take part in the discoveries and inventions. It will make him more completely a citizen of the world. To consummate everything, English language is a bridge of communication.

   

Why Climate Change?

      Mark Twain once said,"Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." Now, however, scientists can do something about the weather. Perhaps, you've heard about the PAGASA forecasting weather reports. They are the one in-charge of disseminating information to everybody and they called themselves meteorologist.
      If we lend our ears to them, we might be heard the word "climate change". First things first, what this term means to you? Most people knew something about the climate change and it is sometimes linked to greenhouse effect or global warming. It is the unexpected rise or fall of temperature in a region. Sad to say, it was caused by our unfavorable actions towards the environment. From cutting down trees, igniting so much oil and gases and strewing trash everywhere you would like to. Consequently, these actions forces to emerge more heart-breaker problems. By this, we are now experiencing intense flood and drought, health breakdown and abnormal rise of temperature. In other words, this is terrible for the environment.
      Fortunately, we can still alter this condition. Change can happen in a blink of an eye or a single click of finger if we set ourselves in only one intention or goal - stop climate change.
      So what can we do about this? First, instead of trimming a lot of trees, we should plant more trees. Did you know that a tree can absorb a pound of carbon dioxide that will be needed in their photosynthesis? Second, instead of burning so much oil and gases, we should burn fats. Double purpose right?! We are extending our life by doing exercise and at the same time we are part of the "Green Team" (Eco-Lover). Third, instead of throwing the rubbish everywhere and you seems not to care to, we should disposed it properly. Are you aware that the air we are breathing in was contaminated with dirt and germs coming from the undisposed trashes. Lastly, we should always bear in mind the three R's, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

       And when this happen, when we make real the aforementioned, the beautiful, fresh and clean Mother Earth will return in our hands.
