How long will I love you?
I don't know but I don't want to end it.
I will love you as long as I am alive.
My personal blog of sudden thoughts, ideas, realizations, and some issues that I would like to share with anyone.

HOW LONG WILL I LOVE YOU?

SUKO NA
Hindi naman pagiging duwag ang pagsuko.
May mga laban lang na karapat-dapat.
Kaya suko na ako.
Ilang buwan na lang.
Minsan, pagiging matapang pa nga iyon eh.
Kasi susubukan mo sa simula.
Tatalon kang muli at kahit na may pinangako sa'yo
hindi ka pa rin naman makakasiguro.
Kaya suko na ako.
Ilang buwan na lang.
May panibagong laban na naman.

TAGPUAN
Kung mayroon man akong dahilan para mabuhay araw-araw...
Ito ay ang dahilan para sabihin ko sa 'yo na hindi ka nag-iisa sa laban mo.
Hindi mo alam kung paano ako nakarating sa lugar na ito at kung paano tayo pinagtagpo. Kung sakaling nadatnan mo ako at malungkot ka. Sabihin mo sa akin. Sabihin mo sa akin hindi dahil sa masaya ako kundi baka parehas tayo ng pinagmulan at dala-dala.
Masyado ng puno ang mundo ng mga mapapait na mga kwentong walang saysay, mga kwentong hindi ko na maunawaan, mga galit, hinanakit at lumbay. Masyado ng konti ang mga taong lumalaban o kung lumalaban man ay walang tinig na naririnig. Tinakpan ng takot o binaon na lang sa limot.
Tandaan mo, mahal, sa ano mang laban mo, magulo man ang mundo... nandito pa rin ako. Hindi kita iiwan tulad ng pagtalikod nila sa'yo. Tinalikuran rin naman ako pero wala naman akong pakialam. Sa ligaya ko lang naman sila nakakasama ngunit mag-isa lang sa lungkot at lumbay.
Kaya, sasamahan kita. Iintindihin kita. Hindi kita iiwan.
ANINO
Kilala mo ba ako? Kilala mo ba ang katulad ko kung saan ako nagmula?
Alam mo ba kung saan ako nagsimula? Kung gaano ako lumaban noon mula sa putikan at kung gaano akong nagtiis sa sakit para lang may maibatong ngiti sa kasalukuyan. Kaya nga ba't nabansot na rin ako dahil dala ng kahirapang dulot ng sa bulsa, kawalan ng pagkain sa hapag, at sa iniindang sakit sa dibdib dahil sira na ang sandalan.
Alam mo ba kung gaanong kapangit ng ugali ko, kung gaanong inayawan ko ang sarili ko sa salamin, kung gaano ko tinakbuhan ang sarili ko noon, at kung anong bumabagabag sa dibdib.
Palagay ko'y hindi. Maaaring walang nakakakilala sa akin. Kung ano ang tunay na ngiti, ligaya, luha, lungkot at takot. Huhusgahan ka ng mundo sa kung anong hitsura mo at palagay ko, nahusgahan na ako.
Pero wala akong pakialam.
Nanggaling ako sa kawalan. Kawalan ng kinapitan kundi iilang taong tumanggap sa akin...na tipong dumating rin ang panahong anino ko na lang ang yumakap sa akin mula sa madilim na nakaraan, anino ko na lang ang sumabay sa akin, at anino ko na lang ang tumanggap sa akin.

RESTLESS FEET
So I have been contemplating about my life and career lately. I have tried observing and weighing things...
Finally, I got the answer.
2016 is about the peak of my career, challenges, lectures and travel. I was able to travel for free in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. I was able to know myself such as limitations, strengths, reawakening of my skills and above all, I now know my heart's desire. I know where home is.
Last time, I felt like I do not belong to a circle of good people. I felt like I am chained and I couldn't give my best.
There's a lot of good people out there and I am deeply thankful for knowing them. But...
I don't want to be good.
I want to be great.
I want to transcend, develop my skills, and realize my potentials. I want to be appreciated and to be part of something big with people who share the same principles like what I have right now.
I am excited of what awaits me in 2017. Five months is just a blink of an eye. I am sure I will be going out of this country for a while, visit more places, lecture to spread the word of psychology, meet new people, and be more awesome.

HEART LESS
It is a case to case basis. Sometimes, I just have to use my heart less, care less. I have to use my brain first. Ironically, I am in a field where emotions are important. I have to empathize and to interact.
It is just a sad night. Other people cheered up because it is Friyey while I am in my solitude and thinking about a lot of things.
Indeed, a bad night but I will be fine...eventually.
I will keep this in mind:
Heart less and care less. These are the two ingredients for less disappointment and melancholia.

LIFE AS A TEACHER
Isn't it unfair for a teacher to be considered as villain when that person gave his or her time to encourage, teach, and execute some plans to students?
Isn't it unfair if you just allow them to pass the course without even screening them?
Then I'd rather be a villain than to please everyone. I spent my time studying all the lessons from college until now, I suffer from sleepless nights, writing some paperworks and preparing my lessons, throwing some jokes hoping they quickly get my point, and wear some smile though I am not perfectly fine at all times...yet I am still the villain, the terrorist.
Life will squeeze you hard to get something out of you. You have to crack your nuts and you need to be strong. And yes, I will understand if you curse me for making all of you cry but you will see its worth sooner or later.
Well, I guess this will be my life.

EDUKASYONG DOSE PESOS
Langya. Nanggaling ako sa school na edukasyong dose pesos per unit. Ito yung pamantasan na pila ulit pila. Ayos lang naman yun. Masaya nga ako nanggaling ako sa masa. Doon ako nagmula.
Ngayong graduate na ako, napaka-challenging lang ng idea na naiisip ko. Langya. Noong college pa ako, gusto ko baguhin ang educational system. Sabi ko ang boring naman kung puro libro lang. Maswerte naman ako kasi sa school ko hindi naman lahat spoon-feeding kaya natuto akong tumayo sa sarili kong mga paa kahit ang hirap hirap na.
Balik tayo, ayoko magkabisado kasi namamatay yung 'creativity' ko at pinangako ko sa sarili ko na balang araw kung maging teacher ako....ayoko ng memorization.
At humantong nga ako doon! Shemay na malagkit, ito na yung moment, bes. Sinubukan kong magturo. Mahirap rin pala. Individual differences. Mahirap ma-handle iyon. Totoo. Sinubukan kong maging masaya ang mga bagay para mas matuto sila at kung minsan hindi ko na masyadong pinagtutuunan ang libro lalo na kung hindi naman ito board subject o hindi naman magagamit sa real life. Pinagaan ko. Minsan comedy bar nga e sa kagustuhang lagyan ng saya pero nandoon ang substance. Pinapadali ko. Binigay ko ang slides at nagbibigay ako ng quizzes.
Alam mo kung anong napala ko? Disappointments. Maraming natutuwa sa ginagawa ko pero disappointed ako na hindi ko kayang isalba ang lahat ng students. Nakakalungkot.
Pak ganern the educational system! Hype yan!
Bago ka magsabi ng ganyan, subukan mo munang maging teacher kasi mula sa karanasan... mahirap talaga siya. Kailangan gawin mo ang lahat at dapat na subukan mong i-adjust ang sarili mo para sa kanila pero may ilan pa ring maiiwan...at masakit iyon sa part namin.
Kaya hindi ako naniniwala sa ilang motivational speakers eh. *although ganoon naman rin ako at nag-eencourage* Motivational speaker rin ako at the same time teacher. Alam mo kung bakit minsan hindi ganoon ka-effective ang pagiging motivational speaker? Kasi binabago mo ang attitude lang ng nakikinig sa'yo. Barnum statements at pangkuha ng kanilang emosyon lang talaga ang gamit nila sa'yo.
Kaya tignan mo ang mga nakinig na iyan pag-uwi nila sa mga bahay nila, ang ilan babalik agad sa nakagawian nila. Attitude is just a manifestation of their values. Tirahin mo ang values nila kung gusto mong may mabago sa behavior nila...pero mahirap iyon gawin dahil established na ito sa isang tao lalo na kapag adult.
Kaya yung magagaling magsabi ng hype na educational system na iyan, try niyo muna. Para mas maunawaan mo, subukan mo. Isa lang ang teacher at marami ang students. Marami dyan underpaid pa. Marami rin diyan ginawa na ang lahat ng makakaya nila kaso maraming students pa rin ang hindi naman ganoon ka-interesado sa course nila. Minsan students rin talaga.
Napakahabang issue nito pero interested akong makipagkwentuhan sa'yo kung paano ito maiiwasan.
One time lang. Magturo ka pagkatapos pakikinggan kita.

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY!
For those people who can't understand the comments from my fellow Filipinos, they are denying the fact that mental health issue is important. One of them emphasized that Filipinos are one of the happiest people in the world.
In the Philippines, the reckoned number of suicides in 2012 was 2,558 (550 female, 2009 male). It was reported in GMA Special report last year. In addition, World Health Organization and Department of Health reported that there are 7 Filipinos who commit suicide everyday. These numbers should not be ignored. Mental health problem is real.
One important observation of unawareness is when you suggest someone to visit a mental health expert or psychologist for that matter, and then you will be surprised by the response, “hindi ako baliw." (I am not insane)
It is evident that stigma exists in this country. Some people are afraid to visit mental health experts because of the stigma associated with it. Some also think that going to psychologists to talk out your problems is a sign of weakness because Filipinos are resilient and happy people.
"You are just sad. It will pass." This is just one of the lines that we often hear when we talk out our problems with other people.
We need to wake up and we need to accept its existence! We can save lives if we are just paying attention to this issue!
Just because
you cannot see it directly
means
it is not real.

MAMAHALIN MO PA BA?
Gugustuhin mo bang makasama ako kahit na mapaglipasan ako ng panahon?
Ngunit hanggang kailan?
[Kinaya naman namin sa loob ng siyam na taon. ]
