Realization: Look Back!

I was in Marikina Polytechnic College to assist my nephew for his enrollment. As we pass through the entrance, the first thought that came to my mind was, the population of the enrollees are minimal compared to Technological Institute of the Philippines in Quezon City, were I took my four years in higher level of education.

MPC is one of the public state here in Marikina that accepts student with a lesser tuition fees. Though it is patronize by different students from high school, the standard and education system of this college is really good. Back in May 2009, I was also one of those struggling teenagers who passed the college entrance exam. I was fortunate then, but I chose to left the opportunity and went to TIPQC.

I never regret in choosing TIPQC than other colleges. Though I have tons of complains about the school policies and its surroundings, I will always be glad to be part of it. The professors I've met in that school taught a lots of things that I still value and practice.

No matter what path you chooses and which stairs you're about to climb, just remember the importance of looking back to where you comes from. You're not what you are right now, If not because of those things and experiences.

Women's Issue: Messy Hairlaluu

As I woke up this morning and looked at the mirror, I can't help but frown. I looked like a shit. A messy hair all over my face, I remember I tied up it last night because of unbelievable heat due of summer season. Only to wake up with this!

But come to think of it, why some gals tries to very beauty for other people's eyes? I mean, you'll beautify yourself, thats awesome, but why not do it just for yourself? Some even uses heavy make up just to hide their fears of being dislike. They feel confident once they walk out wearing fitted and less cloth that shows too much skin. When in fact you don't have to do those just to call yourself beautiful.

Natural beauty is an amazing thing. Yeah, we all understand that you also want to look great, so am I. But why use excessive tools just to look pretty.

Be confident on what you have. Wear those oversized shirts, tied up your hair, walk out with no make up and just be damn beautiful. In your own ways.

Architecture: Wright's Falling Water

Are you an avid fan of Frank Llyod Wright, one of the greatest Architect in the history? Well, I am.

Frank Llyod Wright was an Organic Architect. He prioritize the existance of nature and bend to his design. One of his works that are very popular because of its flexibility in adapting the surroundings, is the Falling Water.






I am very fascinated about the design of this house, from exterior to interior. I found a certain site that shows the inside look of Falling Water house.

























It has very traditional design with a twist because of its natural materials. Falling Water is one of the visited place and I am also looking forward too see it personally.

Architecture: Nocturnal Life

I was in my freshmen when the senior Architecture student in our school, called ourselves, a 'Sleepless Heroes'. I was proud and feeling really great to claim that title.

As I grow older and I've experience lots of things in our field, I have realized that it is possible for us to have a normal sleep even we're in the field of Architecture.

In my early years in college, cramming was really my thing. I tried to stay awake and do my really best to enlighten my ideas in the middle of the night. There were also a times when you have to go to school, no sleep and feeling exhausted, just to pass or attend something.

Time management is the key. You can actually manage your schedule by prioritizing important things than other stuffs. Though it sounds difficult because of several distractions, you can still do it, with flying colors. Hoho.

Take down notes all the needed things to do, then cross out the task you finish. Proceed then to another task. Close all the distractions like Facebook, Twitter and others. Just focus focus focus and you don't have to be nocturnal anymore.

K? Goodnight.

Architecture: Be Different

Don't just be another brick in the wall.

In Design, be diffirent. Don't settle for just good. Have a goal. Aim high. Explore, play the lines and make some changes.

On The Way

"When someone leaves, its because someone else is about to arrive" -unknown

Before, I was feeling hopeless and really frustrated whenever I don't have any special someone. I would even ask myself, what is actually wrong with me. Now I've realized that being so 'atat' is the problem.

At the moment, I am enjoying my life as a single person. No romantic relationship. No stress. No pressure. No arguing. An awesome feeling. It seems that, I have all my control. But asider from that, I know that I have to stay single because I have to learn to love myself more.

Just like on my perspective in a friendship. I lost some of them, my friends who are really dear to me. It feels painful and I can't forget about it. Then somebody told me that, better people will come.

There's a reason behind those leaving and someone new will show up. A new friend or even new friends, and maybe a special someone too. I will just have to wait patiently. ♥

Houses Used for Korean Drama

Do Min Joon's Another Star

I just finish watching the My Love From Another Star, a Korean Drama starring Jun Jin Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun.

The story is about an Alien (a very handsome one), Do Min Joon, that stucked on earth for 400 years and fall in love with a Korean Celebrity, Cheon Song Yi.

I don't wanna spoil the fun for those people who still watching it via GMA 7, so I won't share all the details about it. Haha. I just can't help but laughed then cry then laughed again while staring at the screen.

If you are an avid fan of those Asian Novelas that has a Romantic Comedy genre, I recommend this one. Try it and love it just like what I did. ♥

Architecture: Skillful Hands

I start using Google Sketchup Pro in 2011. I was a bit scared to move the mouse to explore the software. Then step by step I learn to do simple model thru it.

I still remember how envy I am to my other classmates that can manipulate SU (Sketchup) greatly. They even applied VRAY to their model. They do those like a pro. In those I secretly practice at home, watched Youtube tutorials on how to do this and that perpectly. I aim to surpass the skills they have and proudly post it on my social media accounts, just like what they're doin.

I was obssessed on learning those stuffs until I was became a part of Matrix Design. I met the people there, they taught me different things and I've realized that those softwares are important in our field, yet it will be a waste If you focus yourself too much.
In Architecture, the most valuable thing is the design. It is the mother of all the arts so it should be the best among the rest. Then planning and conceptualizations follows. Our leader used to tell me that our skills in drawings and designing are the important key to our profession and being updated to technology is just a bonus.

I still want to learn more. I practice often, but both in computerized and manually. Sketch your ideas, do the drafts then encode it thru different softwares. Enchancing and maintaining your abilities in Architecture is a must.

The Evolution of Android Man! :)

The technology really hit the world. You see, there are so many gadgets that have been created than human and we gladly embrace all of them.

Android has been one of the popular thing today. We witness its fast evolution and its amazing transitions from one to another.

Cupcake 1.5

When I was young, I really love eating cupcakes that I could buy to any stores with our area, and I never ever imagine that one day, it will be seminal not because of its softest and sweetness, but because of its uses in our cellular phones. 

Donut 1.6

It is one of our favorite food that is circular and has a hole to the center, with different flavor of course! But just like Cupcake, Donuts entered our Techi lives. What about the hole in it?

Eclair 2.0-2.1

Whats with this? I seriously doesn't have any idea what Eclair was, until I typed it in Google and tadaaa! I have an answer! And according to it, it is a small, soft, log-shaped pastry filled with cream and typically topped with chocolate icing. When will I could have this one? :)

Gingerbread 2.3 -2.3.2 and 2.3.3-2.3.7 

Whenever I think of it, the first thing that comes to my mind is, the large Gingerbread in Shrek Movie. Haha. So we usually see this in holiday seasons, a cake with something on it (I dunno what is that) and a flavoring of ginger. Cool. Anyway, what is the relevance of it to Android Gadgets?

Honeycomb 3.0-3.2

A hexagonal cells of wax made by bees to stored their hones and eggs. Yea right, don't ever think of bothering it. You'll be dead. The bees and their King Jollibee will kill ya. Hoho.

Jellybean 4.1-4.3 

It might be one of the candies we use to see in our Candy Crush games. A jelly with the shaped of bean. My phone is a Jellybean Android. ;)

Kitkat 4.4

All of us loves Kitkat, and I know that we also love the Kitkat Android in the market. How it works and how fast it is. Yum! :)

Thanks for those sites for the images. :)

Spoiled Jane

December 28, 2013

Alright. I am a spoiled brat. Being a youngest child in the family made me to be like this, which is usually for some families. There are some of reasons why I consider myself as a spoiled one:

1. My parents give what I want. Oh well, not all things, of course. But they never fail to give me what they think would please me. I asked for a complete set of brand new desktop, they gave it. I asked for a laptop, which was owned by my brother-in-law before, they gave it. I asked for a brand new phone, they gave it. I ask for money, they give it.
2. They support me on what I think are my passions. When I told them that I wanna step up higher than normal people, they agreed. I took up BS Architecture, which are not an easy course and a very expensive one. From its tuition fees to its drafting tools that are needed. Being an Architecture Student is not an easy thing. You have to endure those sleepless nights, buy some extravagant materials for the projects, and bear all the sermons of my elder sister whenever I skip to do some house chores.
3. They always make keep safe. You see, I am not so healthy person. I was first confined at the age of one because I had joint injury near the thigh, then had my 50/50 dengue when I was in kinder, been in the hospital again in my first grade as had my joint injury again in my elbow, then was confined when I was 17 by my second time in dengue, was admitted again for my third time in dengue last 2012 and then the very recent and worst of all, I was diagnosed to have a Severe Major Depression Disorder last July 2013. They always do their best to keep me out of the danger zone, and because of those things, they've been very protective to me.

I will always be blessed for having them, though most of the times, I've hurt them. I mess around and they are the one who catch me from falling. I love them with all my heart. J

Panginoon, Patawarin Mo Ako

“You are my shield, my strength, my portion, deliverer, my shelter, strong tower, my very present help of need”

My Lord, please forgive me. I have been weak. I’ve been blind. I was lost.

Nag kamali ako. Marami akong nagawang di maganda sa buhay ko. Hindi ko alam kung paano ba ako babawi sa mga maling desisyon na nagawa ko, sa mga taong nasaktan ko, sa mga bagay na pinaka sinungalingan ko, sa mga taong kina inggitan ko, sa mga material na bagay na hinangad ko, sa pamilya at mga kaibigan ko, at lalo nap o Sainyo, Pangioon.

Marahil ito ang paraan mo para katukin ako at ipaalala sakin na nariyan Ka, na huwag akong makakalimot Saiyo. Panginoon, binigo ko Kayo sa napakaraming maling bagay na nagawa ko.

Ninais at ninanais ko paring bumitaw, kitilin ang sariling buhay, tapusin ang biyayang Ikaw ang nag handog. Duwag ako. Walang pag kakaila iyon. Naging mahina ako. Nawala sa isip ko na Ikaw lamang ang makaka tulong at hihilom sa matagal ng sugatan na puso ko. Panginoo, ano ang dapat kong gawin?

Nag tatampo ako Saiyo. Alam ito ng mga taong nasa paligid ko. Dahil alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi ako nag duda sa kakayahan Mo sa mga nakalipas na panahon ng buhay ko at ang tanging nais ko lamang ay kapayapaan ng aking isipan. Ngunit dahil hindi ko ito makamtan at maramdaman, mas pinili kong magalit, mag mukmok, at bumitaw sa pag kalinga Mo.

May mga iilang tao ang nag sasabi na sakin noon pa man na mahina ang pananampalataya ko. Madalas ko itong idepensa, paulit ulit sinasabi sakanila na mali sila, pagkat hindi nila nalalaman kung gaano ako nag dedepende Saiyong pag mamahal. Pero bakit nitong mga nakaraang lingo, iniisip ko kung tama nga ba sila at hindi na Ikaw ang mundo ko?

Ako ay nag kakasala Saiyo ng paulit ulit. Noon ako’y isang deboto ng Simbang Gabi, miyembro ng choir sa tahanan Mo, isa sa mga mang await ng banda at kumindad na nag lilingkod Saiyo, ngunit tinalikuran ko ang lahat ng ito. Natakot ako. Napagod akong umasa at maniwala na magagawa kong umahon mula sa pag kakalunog ko sa mga pag subok na ito. Nananatili ako sa kadiliman at pinipili ko na paniwalaang kinalimutan Mo na ako. Panginoon, magulo pa rin ang isip ko. Patawarin Mo ako.

“They don’t know that I came running home when I fall down. They don’t know who picks me up when no one is around. I drop my sword and look for His smile. Cause deep inside this armor is, the warrior is a child”

Sakabila ng mga maling gawain at paniniwalaang ito, alam ko sa aking puso na hindi Ka parin nawawala. Huwag po sanang husgahan ako ng ibang tao dahil lamang sa mga maling gawain na ito, bagkus, akayin nila ako sa tamang daan patungo Saiyo.

Walang hanggan ang aking pag sasalamat sa pag kakaloob mo sakin ng napaka mapag mahal at mapag unawang pamilya. Sila ang tanging kinakapitan ko sa ganitong panahon na nang hihina ako. Napaka mapalad ko at nag karoon ako ng pamilyang tulad nila.

Kanina, ang mga salita at payo mula sa aking mga magulang ang nag tulak sakin para gawin ito. Ipinaalala nila sa pamagitan ng pag mamahal nila na mapalad ako sa pag mamahal na ibinibigay Mo.

Sa aking Tatay at Nanay na hindi nag sasawang unawain ako at mahalin ako sakabila ng mga pag kakamali ko, maraming salamat.

Sa aking mga kapatid, Ate Phen, Ate Jho, Ate Yhong, Bebe, na hindi napapagod making sa mga hinaing ko sa buhay at patuloy na nag papaya sakin kahit madalas kong balewalain ang mga sinasabi nila, salamat.

Sa pamilya kong ito na naniniwala parin na magagawa kong umahon, kahit ako mismo sinukuan na ang sarili ko. Salamat.

At Saiyo Panginoon ko, na walang hanggan ang pag mamahal. Maraming salamat po at patawarin mo ako.
