I'm here to update some things in my life now. Just recently, i noticed that weird things are happening in my life for the past few days. Well, i guess everything's not gonna get back to normal until next week. *sigh* but i just hope that everything will be fine soon.
well anyway, i decided to make a poll last night in my DeviantART page. The title of the poll is " I'm in a dilemma, problem, difficulty, disappointment, distress, and etc. "
many actually commented on that poll and i am so happy. I felt the love and care from my friends in Deviantart.com and it's really cool to always feel the same way.
maybe...
The best thing to do is pray (I found) - seriously...
or take a quiet walk...
or make a list of things you need to do, including people to talk to or not talk to...
yeh ths what I would do...
or if all else fails, eat chocolate! (that also works)
yes. i found her suggestions very interesting and i also noticed that yeah. i think i should follow her suggestions. well anyway, let's just keep 'em coming.
32 years ago, my parents asked for a healthy child again. And I was born. 31 years ago, I asked for happiness, He gave me a family. 29 years ago, I asked God for a good future. He gave me education. 25 years ago, I asked for experiences. He gave me leadership to work on. 20 years ago, I asked for inspirations then God gave me a bunch of crushes. Weird and funny but it helped me. :) 13 years ago, I asked God for a stable job. He then gave me a diploma. 10 years passed. 8 years. Then 7, 6,5,4,3,2--- all went well. Then just this morning, I asked God to have a talk with you, and then here it is. The letter that I wrote is with you now. Read this carefully and put everything I will tell you close to your heart.
All that I wished belongs to me. And this thing is the thing that I can promise you. That everything that I have belongs to you too. Because I am you- Just older.
I know that you will be so shocked when you will read the date present in this letter. Yes. I am really you. Only 32 years older. I'm from the future. And you have to believe me. I am here to help you and not to bring any harm in your imagination nor in your life. You want some proofs? I'll tell some secrets that only we know. And I am still keeping these things secret until now. And I hope that it will make you happier.
We use to have a twin that was born two days before we were born. Yes. I am still calling him Twin until now and he's still alive. So don't worry. Next, in your time, there are a couple of people that you don't really like much. I can still remember our feelings whenever we were being annoyed by them. With their silly attitudes, and stuffs like that and you can't still forgive someone for killing your animal for a laboratory exercise. I'm pretty sure that you had a hard time looking for a replacement with your partner. But nevertheless, you were so happy when you managed to have not just one but three replacements! You always put your time over the internet rather than studying. And when mama and papa is texting you and asking you if you're studying, you keep on telling them "yes!" even if you are not even bothering doing it. Well, I guess those are enough.
And this paragraph, will make you believe that you and me are just one. Can you still remember when your friend asked you on how to open a love letter? I also used the same format I gave her so that I can also open the my love letter for you.
And I hope that you believe me now. And you really have to believe me because I am really you. Again, I want to remind you that I am just 32 years older than the 18 you.
Before anything else, I have some good news for you. I am now living in the year 2042 as stated in the date in the letter. And for heaven's sake, I haven't able to meet the end of the world. You're still living in 2010 right? So don't be afraid. Because the 2012 prophecy is not really true. Another good news, your toe nails are still complete and well groomed! I know how you love your nails even if you sometimes fail to have it pedicured. Well, seeing my nails clean will always make mom happy right? She still loves our toenails. Teehee. I did not dye my hair. Not even once. So it's really amazing. Good thing that we were able to get dad's hair characteristics. Haha.
Paopao is big now. And he's doing really great in school. Our nephew's is continuing the Roxas' legacy of excellence. Of course, our sisters and brother are in the good mood always. This is the impact of being in a happy family perhaps.
Here's more good news from me to you! You will continue meeting great people in your life. Continue to blog. You will also meet many great people in the blogosphere. And yeah! Another great news. Fella is 41 years old now and you will also meet many deviants during the deviantmeets. Well, enough for this thing as I don't want to spoil your future. But remember, great adventures lie ahead, ;)
But of course, for you to experience the experiences I am experiencing now, please take the following notes from me. After all, its me who can give more advices for you because I had lived with it. In layman's point of view, let me just say that there's more to believe in the experienced person.
Spend more time with your family. As much as possible, if you have time during weekends, go back to the house where you can really experience home. There's more to see and experience with your family. Just imagine the food that mama will make. The company papa will give you. The playful moments with our kuya and Paopao and to call our ates while they are in their works. Just imagine being with them for at least 4 days in a month. Isn't that great? I can still remember when we were still in second year college that you did not even bothered going back home because we feel so tired and exhausted riding the bus. But then, after all the experiences I had, I learned that there's no such place like home.
Spend more time with our family please. I know that it's in ourselves already that we cry while we blog on how we miss our family so much. But those tears will eventually turn into smiles when you will experience their loving arms as they welcome you back into our home. Their warm kisses- so good to feel. And oh btw, did I mentioned that our home is still here? I am now encoding this letter in our bed while you are there in Zamboanga reading this letter. Haha.
Another thought: do whatever you can do to make mama and papa happy. I will not tell you when they will leave but surely, right after you read this, text them and call them and tell them how much you really love them. And thank them for everything that they have done for you. I am also crying when Im writing this letter for you. I can remember the happy moments with mama and papa. I am not doing this to make you cry. I just want you to feel that we are the luckiest son in the world for having such a wonderful parents and family. Remember, they are in their 50's while you are reading this thing. And I'm 54 now. Get the point?
Please help them save money for your future and do well in your studies. I will always remember everything that papa told us. That the only thing that he can give for us is our diploma. Yes! With our diploma, I am really sure that their support is there. All the support from Mama, Papa, Kuya and Ate are there journeying with us as we try to reach our goals in life. Isn't that the best gift we can receive?
Commit to your memory their laughters and happy moments. Their tender loving care. The way they look at you like a treasured gold. And their love will always be the source of love that rotates within the family.
Some piece of advice about your education, no matter how you hate a particular subject, learn to love them. It's just a matter of throwing a dice and you want to get a number one to be able to win the game then you got six. From that, you step to the winner's place then go back 4 steps back from there. But then, always remember that there are second chances and that you must burn the flame burning and to be determined to win no matter what without hurting anyone in the process. And those hated subjects will just play like darkness in your life. But remember too that making dreams come true is a long shot in the dark. And don't put too much pressure in hating some people. Remember, you will be with them in the rest of your college years. Just be good to them and they will also be good to you. Trust me. This has been proven by me.
Remember also that God will always love you even if you sometimes forget to go to Church and pray. But as long as you will ask for his love and forgiveness, you will always feel His healing power. And don't be too pressured when you have mistakes. Learn from it as many are saying, "We're just humans". We know how to make mistakes and the best part is that, we also know how to learn from it. So be proud! God will always be there for you. He will always be on guard no matter what. He wants you to have meaningful life.
Don't be afraid to let others know the real you. Be sure to open your life like an open book once in a while. In your life, you will experience pride, betrayal and judgments. But the best part is yet to come. That the persons who really love you will always stay with you no matter what.
Lastly, enjoy your youth. Do not be afraid to try new things. Make more friends, laugh till cry and be amazed in the perfect world that you deserve. Make everyone proud in every thing that you do for from that, you can have the real you.
Thanks to the great technologists who created this invention so that I can send this letter for you from the future. Haha. But yeah, let yourself write our good future. I'm just here to help you make it happen.
Hugs for you buddy and good luck as you write the best book in our life.
With much love and care,
Jude from the future

Don't rush into getting married. For true love will always wait <3
So hi guys, i was really busy this week looking for points. gosh. Since points came here in DA, i am really happy to see some transactions in my inbox
and another important note, hunting for points is killing my time. hahaha. but at least, im enjoying.
When I dont have anything to do, i usally end up sleeping early like 1 o'clock in the morning or sometimes 10 oclock in the exening. but when i doing some points hunting, i usually end up sleeping before 6 in the morning yep! then i sually wake up one hour after to prepare for the class.
Just last night, i was so busy answering the trivia of ^MyntKat and it took me over 6 hours to find at least a nibble of the answer. I had a short conversation with ^NikiVandermosten and had a very fun conversation with him as he also tries to get the 400 points.
thanks for the time buddy
I know im silly but im really trying my best to get as many points as i can so that i can purchase a DA lanyard or buy a painting from or from
Exams are already coming. But what i am doing is lurking over the internet to do many things like blogging in my blog [ofcourse], and watching some movies online.
Well, from that experience, i can say that i somewhat wasted my time. But im not blaming the points system here. because i love them!
but what i would like to stress here is that, instead of watching movies online, instead of bloghopping in blogger and wordpress, instead of taking a nap while buffering the movies, i should have studied too so that i can prepare myself for the exams
gosh. i sis not even saw that coming. Now, i'm cramming since i only have 1 day and some hourse to study. May the good Lord bless me for this one.
Now, i call that EPIC.
Now, the times i wasted, i call EPIC.
WHY?
Because from that experience, i learned many things. Even i wasted my time for some thing over the internet, it helped me think over the things i am doing and from that, i learned to re-examined my self once again.
So, who says that that time wasted is not that good? well, if this happens to you, try to meditate. well, at least, you can just think become optimistic in the things you are doing.
If i made it this time, well im sure that you can make it too! trust me! since i trust and love you all
it was just this afternoon after i arranged my room. [btw, i found out that as a student, i only need 2 black shoes, 1 pair rubber shoes, sneakers and slippers plus sandals] and after cleaning, i also found out my stack of shoes [rubber shoes, steel toe shoes and etc and sandals here. guess i need to return it home.]
going back to my story, it was when i went to the Church to join in the celebration of the mass. i just walk from my boarding house to the Cathedral. then i immediately took the best seat for me. then just minutes after the mass began, a family took their seats in fron of my pew where i am seated. everyone is there, mom, dad, brother, sister and grandma. they look so happy.
then i dont know what i felt that time. jealous? nah. envious? not really. lonely? gah.
i dont know what happened. but a tear flowed from my eye.
then i started saying, "I MISS MY FAMILY SO MUCH"
i am studying in a place where i need to adjust from the environment most of the time. if i want to go home, i still need ride a bus that will take me to a 3 hour trip back way home. im occupying a room now. and yes, i know i miss my family. my family's away to me physically but i know they are just right here in my heart. im sorry about that. i may sound to crappy but that is my feeling.
i need to go somewhere else to study. i guess it will just be in a form of sacrifice on our part because they are also doing their best to support me in my chosen want-to-have-career.
just this evening, i texted my mom to inform her that i miss everyone. and she replied that they miss me too. that made me feel better. im planning to call them after posting this thing.
well guys, im sorry for feeling this way. sometimes, i just need to take a break from being happy. no im not an emo. i just being true to myself. good thing you're here too! my DA and Blogger family. thanks for everything!

The short part of the documentary film presented to us by the reporters last Thursday reminded me again on the things I need to know within the frame of my rights as Filipino and as a person. Yes! I am aware of my rights as a person and I know that I am guided by the laws provided by the constitution of our land but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I know every right that was given to me by the land. Like me, other people do not also know all their rights as persons and I believe that some people are fully unaware that they have rights as well.
Considering this fact, there are points in the film which contradicts each perception of the two groups we have in our land, namely the lawmakers/law enforcers (generally referred to as the government) and the masses. Just like in the case of the sidewalk vendor, Aling Bing who represents the masses, always try her very best to catch the attention of the customers to buy something from her goods before the MMDA Officers, which represent the government, catch her and trying to jeopardize by running over her and to other sidewalk vendors as well.
On the side of the government, they know for a fact that the sidewalk vendors commit mistakes because they are not allowed to sell on the sidewalk while on the other hand, the sidewalk vendors believe that the MMDA Officers commit mistakes as well because, they really much believe that they are getting their rights to have a good income for at least a day in order for them to feed their families and to try in sufficing the needs of each of their love ones. Truly, we can see two sides of the coin. But who weighs more in terms of the exact basis? Well that is the question that plunge into my mind.
Another thought presented in the film is when the cartoon character in the clip gave us the idea that because we are persons, we do obtain rights so we must never make it complicated as possible since it is already in front of us, waiting for us to become aware that we have those rights to be enjoyed.
Let’s examine each of the sides of the coin. On the first side, we have the masses’ voice. They believe that their rights have been violated by the government. Their rights like what I have just written in the earlier part of this essay are the rights that I am talking about which, for them have been violated. In a way, they are right. As persons, we have the rights to make a living not just for ourselves but for the whole family too. We really have to make everything we need to do in order for us to fulfil it especially when we do not have any degree just like those professionals who were able to study in a school since nursery until they graduated from college. So getting their ‘little things’ they have would probably mean a violation on their part. If we are going to say this in Filipino, “Kakaunti na nga lang ang meron sila, kukunin pa ng gobyerno.” Before making a conclusion, let me first discuss in this essay the other side of this issue.
For the other half, the thoughts will focus more on the points coming from the side of our government. They believe that the sidewalk vendors violated the law because they were not allowed to sell on the sidewalk. Yes, it is true. The sidewalk vendors violated the law and therefore the government do not really violated their rights as persons. But we really have to consider this thing, that upon making laws for our land, the government leaders put into consideration the things that the masses will gain after imposing such laws. For me, imposing such law such as prohibiting vendors to sell their goods on the sidewalk is a good thing since:
ØThe government care for them and that as persons they really have to gain income in a place where they can be safe and to be not in a place where danger is vulnerable such as beside the road and specifically in the sidewalk area.
ØNext, when they are selling in the sidewalk area, chances of not paying their taxes can go high since they are just like squatting for a place where they earn for a living for free. We really have to remember that when people pay taxes, they can still get the amounts they are paying to the government through the services that the government is giving the people like in the development of the infrastructure, to public market stalls for vendors to have a safe area for their business while paying for a cheap price for the place’s rent or sometimes for free and etcetera.
ØLastly, government do not impose laws to hurt the people but rather, they are making those things to help us and therefore granting us more rights and sometimes upgrading those things and not degrading our rights as persons and as Filipinos.
These are just my opinions based on the short part of documentary film presented to us. And I am hoping that what I have written here sounds fair to every person who will read this.
yep! then i sually wake up one hour after to prepare for the class.
