Mines

There has been a lot of thing that comes and go
Lives lost in an instant, dreams flew like a boat
Shivers are spent, burns are then kept
But what was it again? Is it to find one's self?

Loud and annoying are the ways I saw
A clear path, I kissed the ground from every plow
Treasure it is and surely it will
But it was never a spot that could be seen in this field

I gasp for air, and it was deep and stretched
A repetitive motion that has been lurking there in the mist
Could it be life knocking and trying to hit my senses?
Or it was death inviting my curiosity for it is I he misses?

There was light in each step
A silent breeze that's not too cold nor too hot
At the end of each side were dark and bright
Whispering the thoughts that I said that night

Hear ye! Hear ye! Says the announcer
Look at the mines and observe the diggers
Hear ye! Hear ye! Like from the newspapers
One dead, one stabbed and a family murdered

I tried hard and practiced to be a miner
But all I saw are trash from both ends of this land
Surely we could still find precious treasures
Before it's too late and the majority to end

Lost

Confused indeed I am.

Lingering the moment which I know nothing about. Kinda like Jon Snow.

Trying hard. Yes it's in the affirmative.

But every time I tried I end up failing.

It was like, Fuck I'm old,

But the misery won't end.

For every shit I told

I get more than a thousand fold.

I miss writing, I miss my co-writers as well.

As fast as we build, goes fast as we fell.

I tried writing so many times. Trying to get at least a portion of that old self

But it ends up unfinished, like the governments crap

I don't know where I'm going.

I'm not even sure if I'm aware of what I'm writing.

I'm just here, glaring with a blank stare

Save me. At least I say.

I'm tired with my burden

I'm even too tired to say I hate life.

I work, I play. Without anything to gain

What am I sitting here for?

Damn, I don't know where I am.

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.”

Kasalanan ko ba?

Masama ba loob mo kaibigan?

Wag ka mag-alala hindi ka nag-iisa

Dumaan din ako sa hirap..

Minsan ay mayroon din namang ginhawa

Nadidismaya ka ba sa paligid?

O di naman kaya'y sa mismong ginagalawan?

Naranasan ko rin yan

Ibang sitwasyon nga lang ang aking kinalagyan

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.

Blocks

Block...

Around the street, a few corners from here.

The block...

That keeps my head thinking and still got nothing to steer.

The block...

That serves as the stepping stone for those who has bigger plans.

The block...

Which created the home for the homeless and alone.

The block...

With different colors serves as an inspiration.

The block

That keeps this writing an obsession..

Sometimes, its just so hard to think of something to write about.

But it's the same driving force that keeps me writing...

All of us has something that we want to share.
But for some reason, we were unable to do it right away and then what?
The next thing you knew, you forgot about it already.

And no matter how hard you try to retrieve the thought you once have, it doesn't stay as it is.

In my case, it gets worse every day as I try to regroup the thought.

To the writers out there,

keep writing. You do have subscribers.. Believe me..

Free Writing

What is Free Writing?

Free writing is a prewriting technique in which a person writes continuously for a set period of time without regard to spelling, grammar, or topic. It produces raw, often unusable material, but helps writers overcome blocks of apathy and self-criticism. It is used mainly by prose writers and writing teachers. Some writers use the technique to collect initial thoughts and ideas on a topic, often as a preliminary to formal writing.

[ Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_writing ]

What I'm about to do now is what I considered as Free Writing. I was able to gain knowledge about this through www.symbianize.com. Ok, now I'd try to start...

Well, it's almost 1 am in my watch and I'm still trying to think of somehting.. I wasn't able to write for quite sssome time now. (Darn this keyboard, seems to have command that tripples the letter I press) Well, i wasn't quite sure if i coud or if i'd be able to post simething that could give me any idea around here. This is actually my first post in this blog.. (Newly created blog) .. oof mine. And it's such a shame that i'd start with something like this. No checckking of anything, just something that'll pop oout of my head.

I've been thinking about topics ,, themes or any concept and I do have some, though i don't know where to start. I want' to write, I sure do. I want to say something about anything that I want to. Free Writing... Funny.. I could still recall the movie "Freedom Writers". I really don't know the author or even the actors/actresses who play every role but still, one of the most insipirational movie I've watched for a long time.

Well, I gueess I'd let this one of now. Surerr hope this could bring me some thoughts iiin mind to help me create something.

God Bless!
