What is an Educated Man?

If you accidentally opened this by any chance and expecting to read something story / poem like, then you might as well head back. This is just the exam I had earlier.

Yes, I still have minor subjects..

If you're still reading this, then thanks. Well, this is my idea of an Educated Man...

What is an Educated Man?

Ang Pinangarap kong Unibersidad

Etong linggong 'to, nagikot-ikot ako sa kalakhang Maynila. Pero sa totoo lang, dumalaw lang ako sa aking pinangarap na unibersidad. Hindi pa ako tapos sa kolehiyo dahil hanggang ngayon ay 4th Year Standing parin ako. Gaya noong una, akala ko matatapos narin ang lahat pagkatapos ng nakaraang taon. Na magiging isa narin ako sa matatawag na "propesyonal". Pero hindi parin ito nabigyang katuparan dahil hindi parin kami nakalulusot sa matitinik na mata ng aming pinakatatanging propesor.

Senyales

Sa ngayon, hindi pa umaagos ang ideya sa akin matapos tumugma ng ilang pagsasaliksik na nabibilang umano ako sa mga taong kasalukuyang “Depressed” kung kaya nama’y naisip kong magsulat na lamang ng kahit anong pumasok sa aking isipan. Tingin ko’y karugtong ito marahil ng aking isinulat noon na “Alab ngKasalanan.”

Kagabi, nabanggit sa’kin ng isang kakilala ang mga katagang marahil ay pamilyar na pamilyar na sa ating mga tenga.

“Nauulit ang isang beses na pagkakasala.”

Globally Competitive through DTS

If you’re not familiar with the term DTS, it means Dual Training System which put Filipino trainees to a school-industry environment and setup. As we all know, TESDA envisions itself as the leading partner in the development of the Filipino workforce and I myself am witnessing the effects they’ve brought to the community.

With the School-Industry Partnership, Filipinos were indeed globally competitive enough to bring glory not only for them but for the Filipino race as well. Being globally competitive is a dream that every nation desires and as an innovating country, this means a lot more than just work for our countrymen but this could also serve as bragging rights making a nation powerful enough to stand without the aid of other countries.

The School-Industry partnership helps on giving the trainees the experience and knowledge that they should learn before indulging on the trials and wickedness of the cold-hearted industries which doesn’t let their people grow in the process. Yes, industries need professionals who studied for many years and the fact couldn’t even deny that not everyone could gain access to that level and that’s where TESDA barges in. They have the power to lead the people to an outstanding level arming the people the wisdom and confidence to be competitive without minding the hindrances that might come their way. From basic information to the most important ones, from reliable equipments to reliable industry partnership, they guide and teach the needy to success.

DTS is not really new to the country. According to history, the German Model was first introduced in the Philippines during the 1980s. It has two training venues which clearly portrays the term “Dual Training System” and those are the school and the company/workshop. From there, the trainees will learn theories, work values and much more while letting them handle state of the art technologies that will provide them with great experience making them not only qualified but highly competitive as well when they graduate from the program.

As industries continue to grow and innovate, TESDA provides Filipinos with training programs that could help them throughout their lives. I’m not a product of the program but I sure do wish that I was. I’ve seen my friends finish their desired programs and to tell you honestly, wearing “I am a graduate from TESDA” helps them more than they’ve hoped for.

The Rich and The Poor

Nothing much to post since it’s currently our examination week and seriously having a hard time with piles of requirements to pass and things to review. I was just a bit fascinated about some quotations I’ve read in a forum which tackles about financial independence. The thread starter told us that it came from a book named “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. Then another came which was the “Matthew Effect” which makes me wonder and wonder about stuff. In wikipedia Matthew Effect was defined with a quote saying “The Rich get richer and the poor get poorer”.

Matthew Effect came from a verse in the Bible (Matthew 25:29) which says..

To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away.

More will be given… to those who use well what they are given..

Maybe I was guilty about doing nothing and that’s why this verse just pierce me fully. We all have dreams and we can’t reach them without grit, determination, hard work and others that comply with the saying. (Personally I think there’s a lot that affects a person’s success but the battle with the mind is where all of this dilemma began.)

By the way, here’s a song that cheers me up. Another one from Flyleaf.

Title: Arise
Album: Memento Mori

The message was clear… “Arise and be, all that you dreamed”

Don’t let any trials block your way.

I am a Reverie.. I am a Daydreamer.. Soon I’ll become real and my past will be my memories.. A tale that tells success.. A dream turned reality..

Alab ng Kasalanan

Kailan ba nagiging sapat ang pagbabago? Kailan ba dapat sumuko? Hindi ba dapat magpatawad?

Tunay nga bang hindi kayang limutin ng isang nilalang ang pagkakasala ng iba sa kanya? Kahit na ang taong ito ay lubos na ang pagsisisi at pagbabago?

Kailan ba nagiging sapat ang sapat?

Kailan ba nagiging tama ang tama?

Nakakatuwang isipin na kahit na marami ang nagbabago, marami ang hindi naniniwala.

Kaya ba marami narin ang sumuko? Nasan na nga ba sila ngayon?

Sila na ba yung katabi mo? Oh yung taong minsang niloko mo?

Baka naman sila na yung taong nanloloko na sayo ngayon?

Minsan, kahit hindi mo labanan ng apoy ang apoy.. Sadyang umaalab parin ito..

Sa dami ng tanong, gano ka kasigurado sa iyong mga sagot? Mali bang mag tiwala? O maling magbago para pagkatiwalaan? Mahirap bang magparaya? O wala lang gustong nalalamangan o naaagrabyado?

Paulit-ulit man ang mga tanong... Sadyang ganoon ang nagiging reyalidad ng buhay.. Nasaan ka na nga ba ngayon? Ikaw ba yung nasa hanay ng mga nagtitiwala? o yung hanay ng mapanghusga at hindi nagpapatawad?

Ito ay isa sa mga inalathala ko sa kinokonsidera kong tahanang "Forum" site. Nasa ilalim ito ng "Free Writing Thread" kung kaya medyo inayos at minodipika ko pa ito ng kaunti.

KM3: TINIG (Perlas ng Silangan)

Halo-halong dugo, halo-halong wika, matang iminulat ng nasisirang bansa. Sadya bang paninindigan nalang natin ang pagiging utak talangka? O pupwede pa nating pagkaisahin ang ating mga puso’t diwa? Sa rurok ng tagumpay ng isa man sa atin, isa-isa rin nating hinihila sila pababa. Hindi ba’t mas kaaya-aya kung ang pag-angat ng isa ay magiging ating inspirasyon? Pag angat na nagsisiwalat ng ating tibay at dedikasyon?

Yan ang mga tanong na sa aki’y madalas bumabagabag. Bakit nga ba? Sadya bang naiinggit tayo sa mga kapwa nating umaangat sa buhay at hindi natin matiis na magsumikap kaya’t nanaisin nalamang natin silang maisadlak muli sa lupa? Ang dami nating reklamo sa mga nangyayari sa ating paligid gaya ng mga demolisyon at korupsyon sa ating gobyerno ngunit naisip na ba nating hindi atin ang lupang tinitirikan ng ating pamamahay kung kaya’t ano mang oras ay maaari din nila itong bawiin? Na kahit kailan, hindi magagawa ng gobyernong solusyonan ang problema ng isang bansa sa loob lamang ng ilang araw ngunit agad parin tayong nagwewelga at gumagawa ng mga petisyon laban sa administrasyon ukol sa mga bagay na hindi naman talaga mareresolba sa isang kisap mata lamang.

Kung ating diringgin ang tinig ng bawat isa, hindi rin tayo magkakasundo. Dahil ang nais ng isa ay maaring hindi rin magustuhan ng isa. Kailangan matutunan nating magparaya para sa nais ng iba. Kailangang matuto tayong makontento sa kung ano mang kaloob na sa ati’y ipinagkatiwala upang magampanan natin ang nararapat nating posisyon, hindi lamang sa ating bansa ngunit maging sa ating mundo. Ang kapwa Pilipino ay iyong makakasalamuha saan mang sulok ng mundo. Kung ang pagkakaisa’y hindi natin mabibigyang katuparan, nawa’y matuto narin lamang tayong magpakumbaba para sa kapakanan ng karamihan o ng ating kapwa.

Ang pagbabago ay sadyang nagsisimula sa ating mga sarili. Mga pamumuna na hindi man lang natin nakita kung isa ba tayo sa mga nagkasala. Kaya’t ang mga dating pamana ay hindi nawawala, sa pagkat sa ating salamin hindi natin maiharap maging ang ating pagmumukha.
