we were all shy at first! and we didnt stop laughing! but what the heck! haha!
a guard even repremanded us, for we had no permit, what?! we need to have a permit?!
well... it was a exclusive village... so... we couldnt do anything...
anyway... we went on our way! hahaha!
would you believe?! we collected over 600 pesos! damn! that may not be a lot of money...
but that is incredibly something! haha!
we started thinking of were to spend the money, haha! feelin like we have so much...
we even have choices like spending it on a hotel overnyt or even saving it in the bank... haha!

this has really been an unfogettable experience for me... going caroling for the first time... and i did it we the best people in the world! i couldnt ask or anything more! haha!

3 words.

There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you:
let them walk.
I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you,
coming to see you, staying attached to you.
I mean hang up the phone.
When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.
The bible said that, they came out from us
that it might be made manifest
that they were not for us.
For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]
People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.
Let them go.
And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means
that their part in the story is over.
And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over
so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead.
You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over.
Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good-bye.
It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye.
It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!
If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you
and was never intended for your life, then you need to......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ......
LET IT GO!!!
If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth.....
LET IT GO!!!
If someone has angered you ........
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents
LET IT GO!!!
If you u have a bad attitude.......
LET IT GO!!!
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better......
LET IT GO!!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship.......
LET IT GO!!!
If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves......
LET IT GO!!!
If you're feeling depressed and stressed .........
LET IT GO!!!

im back!!!

ANIMO LA SALLE!

I got this email and I wish to share it with everyone, not just Lasallians but to EVERYONE. Para naman maintindihan niyo rin kami. Don't judge us if you don't even know us. Wag kayong magmarunong at magmalinis. You should've watched game 2 live. Mawawala talaga respeto mo para sa mga taga FEU dahil sa ginawa ng students nila after they won the game. Nanalo na nga sila, nanakit pa sila ng mga inocenteng tao. Imagine, they actually threw something at us na parang teargas na stinkbomb. Plus they started throwing other things pa. And they even said "You have money, we have manners." Nasan yung manners dun?! Tsaka they also said "Feu edukado...Eh kayo?!" What the heck. Ganun ba ang tinuturo nila dun?! Inaway nila pati high school boys ng GH. I understand na they have a right to be mad, but that doesn't justify everything that they did that day. In all honesty, mas malinis pa nga ang admu-dlsu games eh kasi may respect for each other pa rin kahit papano.
- lasalyano.

"hi guys...i'm forwarding the reaction of my friend Mick [Deles] (for non-UAAP fans, she's the courtside reporter of DLSU) on a particular column. I must say, I used to admire Arwind Santos, but I never will now...not in this lifetime! His popularity pulled his attitude down. I hope that you'll know the real issue first before you can say something about Lasallians."
- Cai Dangoy
---

from Micky Deles (courtside reporter of the de la salle green archers):

Green sees redSPY BIZ By S.A. MaguireThe Philippine Star 10/04/2005A lot of people have noticed that the Green Archers haven't beenhumble in victory and haven't been gracious in defeat either. In theirsecond game with Ateneo, Archer Ryan Arana's Jezebelic belly-dancingrubbed salt on the Blue Eagle's wounds. In whose harem did he learn togyrate like that anyway? In the third game, Coach Franz Pumarenunnecessarily called a time-out with just a few seconds left todisplay his winning team to the fans. And in the first finals gamelast Thursday, a nationwide audience saw La Salle assistant teammanager Manny Salgado's infamous "batok" on Arwind Santos. FEU coachBert Flores then chased Salgado who ran like a frightened cat. Our LaSalle Greenhills Spy-Ring disclosed that Salgado is from HS Class '78.In their drive to be champions again, the Green Archers and staff mayhave forgotten the basics of sportsmanship. Because of this, many havestarted to root for an FEU victory according to TV surveys taken overthe weekend. It's clearly a case of the greens seeing red then turningpurple. Naturally, this has made the Eagles fly high and away fromtheir blues enjoying every minute of their rival's biggest faux pas.MY REACTION (Micky Deles):


This is harsh but sadly is just one of the many articles being written about the DLSU Archers after the “incident” last Thursday. In yesterday's STAR (October 4), Dong Puno likewise gave his piece on the whole Salgado issue, implying that Sir Manny wasn't sincere with his apology and saying that Joseph Yeo was the only one seen trash talking on video. He based everything on the short video clip that was being played and replayed by the various news programs but if he was actually at the venue, watching the game, then he'd know that Arwind is not a saint..he was actually given a warning by the refs for taunting.

This is the moment that everyone has been waiting for, especially the Ateneans. They lost to us three times this season, a very painful loss for those from the blue side. They could not say anything about those games because we beat them bad, now this issue gives them a chance to get back at us. Sadly they are taking a very human error and blowing it up into monstrous proportions making it seem as if only someone from La Salle could commit such a mistake. What people are failing to realise is that by judging and condemning us they are no better, they are falling into the same trap. Our mistake was a physical action, their weapon of choice are words. “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone” - we acknowledged our mistake, we acknowledge our faults. We are only human but for some odd reason they are forgetting that so are they - human beings capable of making the same mistakes. The shame is now on them for casting stones with equally sinful hands.

P.S. The implication of such columns is that Coach Franz, being the head coach of the Archers is responsible for the "unethical" behaviour of the team...hmmm....

On Ryan’s dance: Boys will be boys! This is college basketball where emotions inevitably run high. We are forgetting that teams in this league are comprised of teenagers who are still at the prime of their lives trying to enjoy their youth. Many of these columnists and critics – be they alumni or not are parents with their own adolescent children, they of all people should understand teenagers who are at this stage of their lives. Sure it may have been wrong to some extent, but Ryan was just trying to enjoy the game. These guys work their butts off everyday, the least we can give them is enough space to be young men. Even coach said this after the game, boys will be boys although he knew that it wasn't the best thing to do but he acknowledged that this is the UAAP where antics like this are all a part of the emotional journey of a college league such as this. For those who are unaware, Arwind did a little dance too during Game 1 of the Finals, I don't see anyone making a big deal out of it. Sure, he was just "doing a ryan" to piss us off but do you see anyone whining about it from our side? No, because we let them be, they are just young boys after all.

On Coach Franz: I have the deepest respect for Coach Franz because despite what everyone says, in spite of all the nasty talk that goes on about him he never allows this to faze him. What many don't see or hear is what goes on during practices, in the dugout and even in the huddles when Coach is with his boys alone without the prying eyes of the media or nosey columnists. He is a doting father to these 14 young men and he teaches them to be tough because of people like Maguire who have nothing better to do but rejoice in the wrongs of others. Coach knows what everyone says about him and his team and he uses this as his fuel to deliver. In my two years as their courtside never have I heard him say anything to his team that would make them think that they are the best, never was there a time that I felt that he was making his team believe that they were invincible and therefore should boast when they win or appear bitter in defeat. He has done nothing but bring out the best in his boys year after year, game after game. He has trained them to play with heart. He has trained them to play with undying passion. All he has ever wanted from his boys is for them to play what they are capable of playing…he just wants them to shine as they should. Where is the crime in that? To all those out there who claim to know how the Archers are trained just shut-up because you know nothing.

"Naturally, this has made the Eagles fly high and away from their blues enjoying every minute of their rival's biggest faux pas" - Where is the honor in this? Where is the honor in savoring every minute of someone else's mistake? Where is the honor in basking in the satisfaction of knowing that your arch rivals are being laughed at, hated and condemned? What kind of sick person will forget his/her blues at the expense of someone else's misery? Who is being ungracious in defeat now??!!!

get the party started!

my HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY birthday!!!

La Salle vs. FEU (1st game - finals)

feu won... (they have an ostrich in their team!)

it was a nice game... as always... the green archers gave the tamaraws a really tough time...

of course, as a never ending thing in bball, trash talk.

if you can't beat him, distract him.

well, im not really surprised... but everything has its limits...

and the guy that hit santos... was unacceptable...

though, there was a part of me that said: "yes! he deserves it!"

i dont think it's proper to go down their level...

anyway, everything's been said and done...

maybe we'll just have to watch out for the last games...

and as a true blue (pun intended haha) lasallian... ANIMO LA SALLE!

my 17th birthday.

Ordinary day.

Stressful day.

My ENGLONE teacher asked me, “what have changed now that your 17?”.

Age is just a number… but it symbolizes everything of who I am now… hai…

I was suddenly stunned of the fact that I am really now in college… I am in an uncertain environment… so far away from the comforts of friends… school rules…

Things have changed drastically… I may not see it… but I feel it…

Enough senti mode.

Someone made my day just by greeting me…

Who is he?! TY TANG!

Hahaha…

After a really maddening loss yesterday (against FEU!)…

He was at school… he borrowed my chem. book (where by the way, I won’t be selling anymore, who cares for 700 bucks?! Haha!)…

Hmmmmm…

Feelin’ so tired and exhausted…

And as always I am hidin’ what I really feel…

Well…

Everything happens for a reason…

stress!

Gosh! 8 am class... 3 pm lunch… pages and pages of reading assignments… and with all that’s happenin’ in our country… all we could feel is stress…

Gone were the days of long breaks… free time… and sudden getaways…

Hehehe… funny… I think I can also blame to stress… our sudden urge to see a movie!

Hehehe… guess what we decided to see?! LOVESTRUCK!!! (dream, believe, fall in love… ) a total “jologs” movie…

Actually it was really funny… the people who we were watchin’ with were just annoying, for their sudden reactions, and stuff…

Of course the story, as expected wasn’t deep… but it sure was fun…

The naughtiness of the characters was harmless… hehehe…

We acted like we didn’t see the movie when we decide to go home… hehehe…

Anyway, it’s nice to do something extra-ordinary, once in a while…

Hehehe…

Hope to survive this week, with all my body parts together…

Gosh! I’m going to grow another year by the end of this week… and I still don’t want to leave my being 16! Hehehe…

Well… nothin’s permanent… so might as well accept it…

Age: 16 yrs. 11 months and 25 days! Argh!!!

Hehehe…

Well many are still older than me… so smile…. ; )

And there are people who didn’t live their 16 years like me!

So… it’s okie…

"sweet lemon"

i'm a goddess!
hehehe... taken this test recently...
this is the result...
hehehe...
boredom...

we won!

another archer - eagle fight took place last

September 15, 2005. at the big dome.

my first time to witness the unending rivalry...

the atenistas took over half of the dome...

but as always! the Green Archers manage to take an early lead...

and eventually ended the game with a 77-52 winning point.

everybody were cheering their hearts out...

waiting for the next point to be made...

2 mis before the game ended... some of the players even managed to fool

around and made the crowd woo louder...

a really fun experience...

of course because i spent it with my friends...

eloisa, abby, gab, migo (gab's bro), jacq, drich,

alec, win, chris, and angeli.

we even made an "arrow" by placing adhesive silver tapes

in our shirts... but unfortunately, we were not seen by the cameras! hehe!

anyway, better luck next time...

some of our blockmates were also there...

migs, garen, soci and cid, but they were int he different section.

"was it even a game" -my englone teacher.

the DLSU pep squad, were the last to perform for the Non-Stop Cheerdance Competition.

see the tank?! nice concept ayt??!

september 17, 2005
araneta coliseum...
non-stop cheerdance competition...
finalists:
Ateneo, Adamson, FEU, La Salle, UP, UE, UST and NU.

there were only a small crowd from La Salle, compared to the
huge number of people from UST.

UST, UP and FEU, brought home 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.
the UST pep squad really did a nice job. i myself wooed after their performance.

but of course i was proud of what La Salle showed, really nice concept...
military... it was obvious though that there were more guys than girls...
so their dance routines weren't really impressive... and the color was quiet balnk,
when you look at it...

juz hope we can bring home the bacon next time...

picture: abby, jacq, eloisa, me and malvin...
gab, cza and rickson were with us too... ; )

pahabol!

ordinary L82 day.

this is how we spend our days during the first sem.
telling stories... taking pictures...
but it's a different thing now...
our sched's kinda hectic now that we're in our second sem...
sad to know that our two blockmates...
angel and caloi, weren't able to join us this term...
hopefully we get to see them next term...
and to those who are shifting...
good luck... we'll miss you! 

first night!
everyone were ready for a drink or dare session!

i'm kooky.

after finishin' my routine of checkin mail and updatin' profiles in the web, i read two artices with the topic: WOMEN. i really found it interesting becuase i read these articles just today. ; )

The Husband Store

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Godfrey, IL, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch . . You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband . . .

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. T
he third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids, and are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" She exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor.
There are no men on this floor.
This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
Please watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

***a relief after all of today's actiuvities.

unexpectedly.

September 7 to 8, 2005.

A few days left of our semester break, while most of us were going someplace with friends or just hanging around the house, trying to enjoy of what is left of our “rest”, I was off to the Communication Foundation of Asia in Sta. Mesa. With 5 other peer facilitators (that got passed the screening and interviews, of course!) and 2 councilors, I was exited of what was in store for me in these two days…

* I made this equation to explain the FUN experience that I had.

PEER FACILITATOR TRAINING = Me + Kenneth + Krissel + Anne + Chai + Raffy + Ms. Owen + Ms. Day + Ms. Daryl + CFA (Sta. Mesa) + name game + statue game + feelings game + evolution + seven up + worthwhile activities + self awareness + communication basics + non-verbal cues + effective listening SKILLS! + role-play + our roles as facilitators + our responsibilities + non stop eating! + non stop realizations + non stop getting to know! + magic tricks + cards + IQ stuff + fool around + scary feelings + the POOL + the RAIN!!! + pictures! + handouts + non stop sharing! + saying JUST thank you after a praise + stories about the course + about classmates + about teachers + of course about ourselves!!! + onting asaran + a place made entirely of bricks * FUN FUN FUN! ; )

the lessons i took home with me from this experience is that, not everything is in your control. so you just have to let it go. sometimes it pays good to keep quiet and listen. and each person has his or her way of interpreting things... so we should learn to adapt.

PICTURES!!!

im happy to meet new people... especially this bunch (krissel, kenneth, anne, chai and raffy)...

they rock! im looking forward to working with them in the future... 

peer facilitators at work!
 
i wouldn't even call it work... cause it was so fun!!!
hehehe...
obviously... we did a lot of thinking...

our training wouldn't be succesful without our gorgeous councilors! (sipsiP!)
we are just pure o soo wacky!!!

block outing!

the games... (nice work toni! this is my fave...)
we played billiards... pusoy dos.... then watched green archers beat
those red warriors... hehehe...

tipsy... tipsy... tipsy...
we were foolin' around...
and havin a great time! ; ) 

top view... while waitin... 9:00 dinner... (pix from toni's blog)
just shows how fun and happy we were to be there...

TAAL CRSYTAL ESTATES
ALFONSO, BATANGAS.
unforgettable because it was incredible! 

sober.

TAGAYTAY OUTING: September 1 – 3, 2005. Taal Crystal Estates.
(trying to keep it short.)

JUMBO HOTDOGS. lot’s of it! As in!

KILIG MOMENTS. hehehe!

SHOCKING MOMENTS. sudden revelations, slip of the toungue…

SCARY FEELING. haha! Pasama… pls… hehe.

THE FLUSH. the toilet that gave us trouble… hehe.

HIRITAN. haha! Lots of these too!!!

DRINK OR DARE. ummm…

PUSOY DOS. is my spelling ryt?! to the MAX!

BILLIARDS. mumi cup, we discovered those awesome moves!

SPILL EVERYWHERE. the reason why we ran out of tissue!

LONGANISA. the only hot food we ate!, cid almost ate everything and erbin called these “sausage”

MCDO BREAKFAST. long drive to mcdo for those early birds

LA SALLE GAME. it was breathtaking! La Salle ALMOST lost

PICTURE PICTURE. via just loves to say this!

MAGIC SING. 100, 99, 98, 97… these were the scores that we got after belting those low notes with high voices! Hehehe!

SNORE. haha! An interesting topic to dwell on when we woke up, garen the tanker and cid the cow.

MISSING. Of course we missed those who were not able to come!
(alec, cza, flora, rickson, christian, billy, dean, caloi, win, angel)

BOOZE. the guys had lots of these!

EMPOY and CHASER. everyone just had to have one shot! me and aldrich’s new found friend!

Being with them in a different setting was a great idea to really understand and get to know, each unique individual. Although, we are not sure that we’ll be together until we graduate, I am pleased to know that I was there with these “creatures” (as what ms. orient will call us):

Aldrich. Jacq. Eloisa. Gab. Soci. Angeli. Erbin. Migs. Vic. Via. Garen. Mika. Cid. Toni. Anj. Chris.

tagay!

last august 27, saturday, when all of my high school is celebrating, the alumni homecoming, (elizabeth seton school is on it's 30th year!), i was with my family (father's side clan!) hehe, in quezon city, it was my uncle and cousin's birthday celebration, it was also like a reunion,for we weren't really seeing each other for some time now.

anyway, of course there were lots of food and booze! hehe...it was my first time to drink red horse, and so i became tipsy... good thing! there was a karaoke! (a good way to release those "amats!") and a band, composed of my cousin and some of his friends... i also met some new people (cousin's friends and classmates), so i might say it was a really fun party!!! hehe...
august 28 (late afternoon), we went to somewhere in quezon city (again!), different party though... there was a dance instructor, and everybody was dancing ballroom!hehe, thanx to p.e. class, it was okie for me to adjust, though their steps werefar more complex than what we have in p.e., but all in all it was lot of fun too!hehe... around 1, we decided to call it a night, of course, we had to sing some songs from the karaoke (again!), before we can go. everyone was surprised, even i myself, when i belt out a really high tone, in the "back at one" song, i was actually, helping outmy brother, but he left me, anyways, it was my shining moment! hehe! ; )

cont...

at last!
after two hours! we arrived at our destination!
we had lunch at Leslie's and then took a little walk to Taal Vista Hotel.
damn! it was soo hot! manila is much colder pa nga! and then we realized just how much we spent! hehe.

the food was alright, the gas, the toll, and even the parking (taal vista) was too much!
but it was ok, coz we had fun. and had time to tease everyone, especially vic and via. hehe.

then we went home, actually... some of us, (me, vic, via, mika, migs) went to erbin's place.
we watched shutter, a really scray movie. hehe! the guys can't even stop screaming! hehe.

gosh, a really fun but tiring day too!!!

Brainworks result:

RLYNN, you exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self-assessment quiz.
Note: quiet true! Coz the last time I answered this, (see june 14, 2005 input) got super balanced between the right and left hemisphere and the visual and auditory, hehe!

You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-oriented. Although a “thinking” individual, you “take in” entire situations readily and can act on intuition.
Note: nice… good stuff… and mostly true…

You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which part of yourself will be called on.
Note: ok… ok… cognitive stuff…

With a slight preference for visual processing you tend to be encompassing your perception, process along multidimensional patterns and be active in your attacking of situations.

Over all, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are perhaps a little too critical of yourself-and of others-while maintaining an “openness” which tempers that feeling.
Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more, immediate obvious and the more functional.
Note: so true!!! This results, for me, is the most valid, out of all the test I have taken. Hehe! ; )

karma

that's one word i have to say.

Whew! What a day! Well, what’s with today?! Damn. Yah. Ok. I lost my cell phone. So what?! Ok. I admit it. It hurts. I don’t want to retell what happened. There’s really nothing I can do about it, right?! Actually it’s not the phone. It’s the memories. I always say “everything happens for a reason. I just hope I see that reason soon. I just look at it as a detachment (term from Tuesdays with Morrie). Detachment from material things. Well. I’m still alive. I should be happy.

In school we watched the documentary film BUNSO (“the youngest”) by Ditsi Carolino, it was a very good movie. I began to appreciate what I have and of course, be thankful. I almost believed that people are really good they are just forced to do things for them to survive. But then, when “the event” happened, I really realized that this is a mean world. And you should prepare yourself for what may happen. For people may be good, but circumstances are not.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

a really nice film, especially for kids...

would really discourage bad values and emphasized the importance of family.

i remembered FREUD (so much for pysch classes!), and his view on how your past,

especially childhood affects who we are in the present, and that was highly evident in the film.

the visuals were really nice...

the oompaloompas, which were really funny (as in!), had nice suits!!! hehe!

gosh! who would not love to see all those chocolates! (yum!)

4 stars for the very imaginative writer and director (tim burton)...

of course, johnny depp! did a pretty good job too, and the kid who played charlie...

i wish my kids, someday, would see this film too!

; )

Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, the amazing chocolatier
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, everybody give a cheer
He's modest, clever, and so smart, he barely can explain it
With so much generosity, there is no way to contain it, to contain it, to contain.... to contain... to contain...
Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, he's a genius who just can't be beat
The magician and a chocolate wiz, he's the best darn guy you'll ever meet
Willy Wonka, here he is!

Willy Wonka: I feel terrible. What makes you feel better when you're feeling down?
Charlie Bucket: My family.
Willy Wonka: [shudders] Ew.

what's new?!

to a cofee-holic, like me.

The Salty Coffee

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he was so ordinary, nobody paid attention to him.
At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised but due to being polite, she promised.

They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, "Please, let me go home..."
Suddenly he asked the waiter, "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.
She asked him curiously, "Why you have this hobby?"
He replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the see, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. 

Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there."
While saying that, tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart.

A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home... Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.
That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful.
He was such a good person but she almost lost him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, and then they were living the happy life...
And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said, "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything... Now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth, I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste... But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life. Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, I still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again."Her tears made the letter totally wet.

Someday, someone asked her, "What's the taste of salty coffee?"
She replied, "It's sweet."

thoughts and feelings

Why does it hurt so much when you face failure ? 

Why is rejection so painful ? 

Why do you think so much before admitting you are wrong ? 

The answer to all these problems lie in our attachment to objects. It is because we identify ourselves with these objects or ideas. Pain is caused when we lose these objects or have to let go these ideas. As a student you may not come to terms with doing bad in the exam or worse yet with failing the exams because you identify yourself as a good student or you identify yourself with a good result. 

Doing bad or failing in the exams results in the loss of this familiar self identity. Loss of identity or loss of concept of the self is naturally painful. Rejection in love is also very painful. So I have learnt. This I think is because the person in love identifies himself with the concept of the couple, with the concept of falling in love. 

Rejection leads to loss of this identity thus leading to pain. Admitting that you are wrong is painful for a similar reason( more so for the male species. Trust me on this one.) We have too much at stake or so we believe when we lose our righteousness. Along with this we lose our self image. We lose along with it , some respect from others.

Thus all forms of pain and melancholy results from losing something we possess, or identify ourselves with. The solution to the problem or liberation from pain lies in not attaching ourselves with objects and concepts. This is the principle of detachment or dispassion.The practice of detachment is extremely simple if you realize one idea. 

The idea can be put in a single sentence. It is "You have a mind and body". Yes, you have a mind and body. If you still have not got the significance of this simple sentence, let me eloberate it for you. What I mean by the sentence is that You, the possessor , have the possession of the entities called the mind and the body. You, the possessor are not the mind and the body, the mind and the body are possessed by you. 

The relation between you and your mind is that of a rider and a horse, between a master and a slave. You cannot possibly control the mind unless you realize that you are distinct and separate from it. What I suggest is not that you are the spirit, the Atman, or Brahma or any such thing. What I suggest is that you, your identity is and should be highest function of the brain. Your identity should be the highest function and should operate at a level above all else.

You are separate from your body and your mind. Most importantly you are in control of your mind and body. Initially like a wild horse you mind will resist control, but if you persevere( I am still trying) , the mind like the horse calms down having found its true master.As you are reading this sentence I want you to observe yourself reading this sentence. I want you to continue this effort for a while. I want you to observe yourself trying to think as you are reading this paragraph. If you are successful in this effort, then I must have convinced you that you are distinct from your mind. You are the observer and the mind is the observed.

fascinating article... i read from the internet...

OMG!!!

i soo miss my friends!!!
shocks! never thought life would be this unexpected...

GO LA SALLE!!!

LA SALLE!

PUMP UP THE ANIMO!!!

i bleed green.

love ko lasalle.

lasallian.

id rather be green.

proud to be.

words you would commonly see around la salle. not a day would pass that you won't see two or three persons wearing shirts with such inscriptions. I wonder is it because they don't have any shirts left, maybe they have worn everything in their closet, almost twice or they didn't have time to do the laundry, but for whatsoever reason, i am happy to say, that when you are in la salle, there's no reason not to be proud of it! so keep it up! my co-lasallistas!

ANIMO!

where is the LOVE?!

funny. but its true. its the only question that should be

thought of right now. WHERE IS IT?!

[to my fellow PINOY: where are we going?!]

What's wrong with the world mama?

People living like aint got no mamas

I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama

Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma

Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism

But we still got terrorists here livin

In the USA the big CIA

the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK

But if you only have love for your own race

Then you only leave space to discriminate

And to discriminate only generates hate

And if you hatin you're bound to get irate

Yeah madness is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how anger works and operates

You gotta have love just to set it straight

Take control of your mind and meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying

Children hurtin you hear them crying

Can you practice what you preach

Would you turn the other cheek?

Father Father Father help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me got me questioning

Where is the love?

It just ain't the same all ways have changed

New days are strange is the world the insane?

If love and peace so strong

Why are there pieces of love that don't belong

Nations dropping bombs

Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones

With ongoing suffering

As the youth die young

So ask yourself is the loving really strong?

So I can ask myself really what is going wrong

With this world that we living in

People keep on giving in

Makin wrong decisions

Only visions of them livin and

Not respecting each other

Deny thy brother

The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover

The truth is kept secret

Swept under the rug

If you never know truth

Then you never know love

Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)

Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)

Where's the love y'all?

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder

As I'm getting older y'all people get colder

Most of us only care about money makin

Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria

Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema

Whatever happened to the values of humanity

Whatever happened to the fairness and equality

Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity

Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down

It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under

I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found.
