If Theres a WILL There will Always be a WAY

The story that I am going to reveal is all about my own story, which I assume as inspirational in its very simple sense.We all have our own unique stories that contains inspiring thoughts and events which could nurture the lives of others.

In my 19 years of existence, I could strongly admit that I have been into so many problems and which I consider as a blessing in disguise, because I believe that on every problem, there is always a solution, we all have to view life as full of love and hope, so we could endure and cope up up with the world's challenges. My very inspirational story started when I first enroll in Central Mindanao University, way back two years ago.

I was only 16 when I enrolled as freshman in college, that was the time when, I was still fully supported by my parents, financially and morally as well, but everything has changed when the bread-winner of the family lost his job and it drastically affected the source of income and living of our family. These made them decide to send only one from us in college and then I willingly forsake my studies so my elder sister could pursue her own, until I suggested to come over here in Iligan City,to look for a job so that I could assist my elder sister in every little way that I can, I did not fail and was really able to help her.I have seen and felt the proud feeling of my parents for me, until now that I am studying again here in MSU-IIT ,pursuing BS PSYCHOLOGY in my own expense and perseverance, I work as a band vocalist at night and I am a student during day time, and it is not that easy to be in my shoes, but I believe that it is very typical for those who would like to finish their studies and earning a desired degree, despite of all the possible hindrances that may come

I am honestly proud of what I am now because of what I have experienced. We should all view problems as full of hope so success can easily be achieved, because every challenge is not a a problem nor a failure.

 

If There's a WILL There Will Always be a WAY

The story that I am going to reveal is all about my own story, which 

The Legend of Pineapple

Once upon a time, there lived a mother and a daughter in far away farm. Her daughter was named '"Minyang", she was a girl of atleast 12 years old, whose always fun of playing outdoor, doing unnecessary things and fixing herself infront  of the mirror and always beautifying herself. Everytime her mother will ask something from her, sahe always find difficulty on looking for them, it seems that she doesn't use her eyes properly or she was just really lazy on looking for those things, she was being asked for.

One day, her mother asked to hand the ladder for her, but then again, she could not find it, so consequently she was scolded by her mother, telling, how she have wished her to have many eyes so she can easily see those things that are asked from her. Minyang ran outside away from their house heading to nowhere and she was not able to come back right away, her mother worried a lot for her , days and weeks have passed, but she did not showed up until one day, her mother had noticed a plant growing in her frontyard and it bear a fruit with a very extraordinary appearance, its surface has an eye-liked structures, which her mother thought of as her daughter, it was Minyang turned into a fruit with many eyes, she named it as Minyang, and as time goes by, it was changed from "Pinyang" into what it is locally called today as "Pinya"

Two Grenades in the Middle of a Sunday Mass

On September 5,2010, I was horrified by the news I receive from my mother saying, that our Parish church in Kalilangan Bukidnon, was being thrown with two grenades in the middle of the solemn eucharist mass.The people immediately begun to panic, and everyone was trying to save their own lives by going out the church, incase the bomb will explode and would probably kill lives of innocent civilians in our town.Casualties were reported and most likely were the old ones, when they were trying to go out.

The chaos was said to be the result of the misunderstanding and a fight between christians and muslims in our place caused by the shooting of one of our muslim brothers by a christian and so the family of that person being killed just wanted to get even with those christians.As far as my knowledge is concern, there were actions made by the LGU and with the help also of the PNP, to settle this case, all we need to pray for is the resolution of this problem.

For me, it will never be right for us to held the law with our hands by having this so called revenges. It is still the law that will take the responsibility of giving the just punishment for this guilty individuals, because if we will stain our hands with the very blood of our enemy, then did not just sinned in the law, but most specially in the Divine Law of GOD.

Two Brothers and the Carpenter

           


                     
 The story was all about the two brothers who lived together in an adjoining farms and was farming side by side for 40 years already.Lately, they had only a small misunderstanding and turned into a really major difference between them until one day, a carpenter showed up on their farm and brought to them the reconciliation, they needed actually. 

                 Situations like that of the story, tells us about how simple conflicts can drift relationships apart, and so it does nothing good for us, that is why, I insist that we should get rid of it, specially when you've been taking good care of that relationship of yours for so long. I admit that I create or I became the source of the misunderstanding, but the good thing that I am proud to admit also, was that, I cant stand having a gap on that particular person, and in that sense, I am always the one who makes the first move so we will be reconciled, this explains that. I don't leave conflicts for long, I do try the best of what I can, in order  to put things on perspective, because I believe that it is so peaceful to live a life without that feeling of grudges to someone.

               When the carpenter built the bridge, instead of a fence, shows that, when you turn your back from your problems or conflicts, you are in, does'nt resolve anything, thus it only adds on the severity of the situation , but if you face it head on, just like building a bridge to connect you and that person agin, then you will surely achieve the point of forgiveness that you two, needed to give to one another, remember what I have mentioned earlier, " Its peaceful to live without the feeling of grudges to for someone".
                   
                                                                                     

Mount Apo-- A Sitting Mountain

The text which was entitled, "The Mysterious Mountain" By: Fr. Miguel, S.J., was all about the highest mountain of the Philippines-Mt. Apo,located in Davao.Physical characteristics of Apo were being elaborated, how and why it was being named as such, its sorrounding, the speculationsof geologist about it and, the reason why, it is cosidered as a sitting mountain.



According to the geologist, Mt.Apo is being located on top of another mountain that adds its height, and their term for this occurence was "Apo is like a rider on horseback", by the description itself, the horse was the Cordillera.Wen you are going to compare to someone elses life,it could be in a situation, wherein you are using someone,it could be his/her capacity and potentials for the achievement of your own interests. Its greatness, which can be seen physically by its height, fits its name- Apo which means both "LORD" and "ANCIENT ANCESTOR"- "the grandfather of the mountains".

No one lives near to Mt. Apo, and so it explains, that it is being sorrounded with jungle and virgin forest, meaning untouched nature. To preserve its beuty, we all need to do sort of things toward its goodness for it is a gift from GOD, bestowed upon us human and we ought to take the most of care on it.

GOOD and POOR Mannered People in One Society

      Activity 5 

      Having poor manners does not choose a particular gender, age or even profession, when you really are of no manners, then you really are, your status in life has nothing to do with your manners.The question is how can we build an ideal society, if we ourselves are poor mannered individual? I guess we must put an action to it.Here are some true observations of the author of the text entitled, "No One Stop's to Say "Thank You" Anymore".


     On a very typical situation in a busy street, when someone let somebody into his/her lane of traffic, men usually wave their hand to acknowledge to show their response of the courtesy, but women ,accordingly hardly ever do this stuff, though we are thought of as the "polite sex".But most of us women, hold doors open for someone who is behind us especially when they are older than us and as a proof teenage boys, do commit this manner very least, I assume that it should begin on how their parents are  instructing them, but it is not being given with importance by parents nowadays.There are also things called as evidences of inadequate parenting one is, being not thought to handle minor situations which particularly involves the showcase of good manners, second, have'nt schooled with social graces, meaning children were minimally being taught of good manners which are very essential on everyday dealings with other people, and the third one is an incident wherein an adult who prompted a kid to actually say thank you to a clown who gave her a balloon.Could you imagine that accepting rude language from someone shows your manners also, let us site the example on the text, when somebody called her a "chick". she actually did not do anything to that, for if she will fight back, she will be called as oversensitive than that man as "rude".

      We all wish for a society that treats everyone and everything as equal, and it starts with being a good mannered citizens, because what you do to others will be paid back to you, the same or even more than you did for them and that is exemplified by the golden rule ," DO NOT UNTO OTHERS, WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT OTHERS DO UNTO YOU". Let us all be good and be guided and become good mannered people. 
     

"The Difference Between the Impossible and the Possible lies in a Person's Determination" by: Tommy Lacorda

Activity 4

                        When can you say that a person is determined enough in his goals or even on the simple tasks that he is engaged with? The difference between the impossible and the possible, provides us an idea on the realization of impossible things on earth. I guess we are all bound in this world to do beyond the things, we thought of being not able to do or to become. It all  depends on  how you percieve thingsand concepts of life, if you see things as impossible, then you can actually leave it as is, but you have eventually missed the chance to experience that particular thing, in other words you have failed on making things possible.

                        Even the most physically impaired individual could still lavish all that they wanted to do,simply because they were driven by their determination to achieve such, in their lives. They hardly consider their disabilities, they were not intimidated by possible hindrances, and they always stood up and facing the whole wild world around them , head on.It is a bit sad on my part seeing this complete and healthy individuals, doing nothing about their lives, seems to be just sitting for the whole entire day, just witnessing when would the sun rises and sets. Thay are the kind of people who sees life as unchangeable,who never tried to risk on something impossible to make it possible, simply because they doesnt have that thing called DETERMINATION. I just want to impart these for us to seek within ourselves that certain determination to build a difference between impossible and possible. It greatly depends upon us all.    

SIMPLIFY life's COMPLEXITIES

Activity 3

                   Why things in life get so complicated no matter how we try to manage it righteously and perfectly.What drives us humans ,to do such peculiar things when there are in fact proper ways to deal something with? Why do we complicate things sometimes, and how do we endure to live with lies, when we can probably face and accept the realities.Why do we expect much on what life could give us, when we can do certain good things for life.Never expect life to be as simple as it could be, instead be ready for a lot more complexities which you can pretty manifest yourself if you only knew how to. 

Believe in your capacity on handling situations like being cornered with crossroads or in a point where you have to choose from something or someone,never take a single thing for granted you'll never know you have loosen a lot already.Listen to concern persons around, specially your family,friends,even teachers and mentors, for they provides us with advices essential for our maturity and improvement.Pray and tighten your faith towards our Heavenly Father,because in times of complexities. He will be the one who will lift us from being stumbled and he is the only one who can forgive our sins and shortcomings.

 








In simplifying life's complexities, we only need to stick to what is the most ideal thing to do when you are in a particular situation, but we are not perfect creations as we know, so we must have that vision of preventing complication of our lives before it could happen and that is why I am providing you with the ideas you could surely apply in battling with complexities, same as what we have in Mathematics, in every complex problem, there is always a formula for us to achieve its simplified form, so as in life , "THE WORLD MAY BRING COMPLICATIONS, BUT MEN ARE ARMORED TO LAID THE SIMPLIFICATIONS".

Artificial Intelligence "HIS LOVE IS REAL, BUT HE IS NOT"

Activity 2

Synopsis:  The film takes place in a world where  the greenhouse gasses have caused the polar icecaps to melt, flooding coastal cities. In the future, to combat over-population, people wishing to have children must apply for a license. The film starts in the offices of a company called Cybertronics, where it's owner, Professor Allen Hobby(William Hurt), wishes to push mecha(aka robotic)technology, to make a creation that can love. When his colleagues mention their "love units", Hobby corrects them: he is not talking physical love, but emotional love...such as the love of a child for it's mother. The narrative then shift's to the Swintons, whose son Martin(Jake Thomas)is currently in cryostasis until a cure can be found for a disease that he has. His mother Monica(Frances O'Connor)has not held up well under the conditions that have taken her son from her.Hoping to help her cope, her husband Henry(Sam Robards)takes part in a test  from Cybertronics, wherein they would be able to be a family to the company's newest mecha: David (Haley Joel Osment), the culmination of Hobby's research to make a robot that can "love".Things appear to be going well for Swintons, until one day, a cure brings Martin back to health. Martin then tries to get David into trouble in a number of ways.Henry decides that David is no longer safe, and convinces Monica to return David to Cybertronics to be destroyed.Later that evening, David concludes that his abandonment was because he is not real like Martin, and that if he were to find the Blue Fairy like in the story of Pinocchio, she could make him real.He met Johnson-Johnson(Brendan Gleeson),and taken to a place called 'Flesh Fair' where are destroyed for the amusement of anti-mecha fanatics.David is brought into the ring along with Gigolo Joe(Jude Law).They escaped end their journey takes them to a place where knowledgeable  computer representation of Einstein,called Dr. Know(Robin Williams), tells them that the Blue Fairy can be found at the end of the world where the lions weep. Joe explains to David that, Dr. Know must mean a place called 'Man-hatten', as many mecha have gone to the end of the world, and never came back.

                Their journey leads them to the flooded New York City,wherein they find the Cybertronics building, of which sit statues of lions,weeping water from their eyes.David enters into a room, where he finds another mecha that looks just like him.However,feeling this duplicate could be planing to take his mother away from him, David destroys it in a jealous rage.It is then that Allen Hobby reveals his presence, telling David that he used Dr. Know to lead him home, telling David that the Blue Fairy is only a myth.David makes his way outside the building, and then jumps off into the water, he suddenly sees something.But before he can move further, a claw  from the Amphibicopter snares him, dragging him out of the water. Above the water,David tells Joe that he saw the Blue Fairy, and that she is down below.However, before Joe can help David, another Amphibicopter appears and magnitize Joe to it.Before he is pulled skyward, Joe activates the Amphibicopter for David to go underwater.David guides the craft to an area based on fairytales, and within a Pinocchio-themed area, finds a statue of the Blue Fairy.However manuevering the craft causes a nearby ferris wheel to collapse, trapping the Amphibicopter near the statue.David is not all concerned, but is elated  that he has finally found the Blue Fairy.He then begins to pray to her, wishing to become a real boy. The narrative then shifts to 2,000 years into the future, in which the world has become blanketed in a new ice age, and humans have all but died out.Roaming the landscape are future mecha, trying to unearth and study the culture and species that created them.An excavation team comes across David and Teddy, frozen in the Amphibicopter.One of the mecha talks to David, concerning his wish to have Monica back to life, he explained that the resurrection of her mother will only last for a day.Even this revelation David still wishes to meet Monica again.The mecha grant him his wish,and the resurrected Monica and David along with Teddy spend an entire day together, doing all sorts of things. When it finally comes time for them to go to sleep. Monica tells David that she loves him.With this knowledge, David himself also goes to sleep content and happy at last.

Reaction:  

                        Our love for our parents is one of the most ideal form of love a person or a child must have.Imagine a couple with a robotic child? or a world where mechanical creature dominates.How can a robot love and seek for love--a child's love for his mother, which is supported by this statement "HIS LOVE IS REAL, BUT HE IS NOT"
                         The creation of a robot that can love which resulted to David was a great achievement for those persons who invented him, but when he was brought to a family which are humans, has started out the conflicts of the movie.These brought me a very sad feeling as it shows a tragedic mode.When David aspires to become real,so he could have the love of Monica, made ma realize, how some people took their mothers love for granted.David only shows the great love of a child to his mother, which we all should have too.

                         David's journey just to become a real boy, implies how a person  must strive to maintain the love between us and our mother. I guess the sad reality on the movie was that, he will never be real, no matter how he tried to, but what greatly count's was that, he was able to love and be loved by Monica which was a human, unlike him. 

Aim High And Take Flight Towards Thy Goal

Our existence is being driven by a particular purpose,by a main reason why we are here and by a mission which we are ought to play and accomplish. When I reached the stage of life,wherein there is already an occurence of curiousity about my purpose and mission here on earth,made ma establish and organizea certain mission,that would serve as my guiding light as I walk on through life's highway.

.

My personal mission is to become A PERSON, MY GOD AND MY FAMILY COULD BE PROUD OF, but I am saying it in a general manner. As a student, being consistent and delligent  with my studies are the keys for me to achieve my goal which is to earn a degree. Obeying my parent's orders and advices, would make them more than the word proud of could describe. As a child of GOD --our Heavenly Father, I will strive and do my best to follow and live according to his words, I believe that there will be inevitable mistakes and shortcomings and I'll surely repent and be sorry for it.

To have a personal mission, enables us to live according to one purpose that motivates us to optimistically face every trials that may hinder us from reaching our goals and actualizing our mission. "LET US DEPART TODAY, SO WE COULD ARRIVE EARLY FOR TOMORROW". Let us spread our wings and soar up high like an eagle.
