| UPCAT Exams, admission tests at UST, Ateneo, La Salle, San Sebastian College etc.... they are nerve-wrecking, 'nose bleed', jaw breaking procedures that cause every aspirant to stress themselves weeks before the exam dates just to pass and finally find a place to flourish as a college student. But the thing is do they really measure your ability and aptitude as a unique individual? Does it mean therefore that if you fail to pass in these admission tests then it follows that you are all bunch of morons and retards!!??? Fate has something to do with this I believe so.I can prove that myself. I was an average graduate (with a consistent weighted average of 83) from UST Education High School, my father pushed me to take the UPCAT at Diliman, QC. I never wanted to pass in the first place as I really desired to pursue college at UST (My alma mater from pre school). Alas! fate has its own decision....I passed the UPCAT with a course beyond basic human understanding....BS Applied Physics....wooooh! Was it fate? Don't really know! |

Passing College Admission Tests
EDSA BOMBING 2011!
| Initial findings of investigating teams in the EDSA bus blast point to terrorism as the strongest possible angle.This was tackled in Wednesday's emergency meeting of the mini-Cabinet cluster on security at the National Police Commission (Napolcom) office in Makati. De Lima asserted that, "It was an 81-millimeter mortar activated by cell phone, signature of some terrorist groups in Mindanao. But that's not conclusive. It may be the signature but that does not necessarily mean sila 'yun. Right now sa mga various angles, ang pinakamalakas na anggulo, but of course not yet conclusive, is this could be an act of terrorism.(ABS-CBN News) Insight: Life is indeed shorter now. You get out of your home, you open your helpless self to the atrocities caused and inflicted by not-so-human individuals. Their brains corrupted by frequent bouts with disappointments and frustrations, the reason why they want others to feel the same....LOSERS indeed! |
Spread your wings and FLY!
| There was this insight that sometimes God pushes us out of our comfort zones and gives us inconveniences so that we realize that there is more that is in store for us. We should never give up and instead channel our energy to those things that we can do to be productive. Never delve onto your hurts and pains...move on with your life.....spread your wings and FLY! |

LIVE LIFE!
| Humans, much as they are educated sometimes fail to recognize and thus appreciate the value of living life.We channel much of our energy and skills on our daily struggle to amass wealth so as to gain approval, recognition, influence and respect from others. Indeed it is true that living a good life is the best revenge, still it does not gratify our desire to find meaning and happiness in our life.I can remember well a story I've read...that simple story was about a boatman who had a foreign passenger. The foreigner asserted that the boatman should go back to school and earn his degree. The boatman asked "why? and what for?" The foreign national replied "so you can travel like me and be happy!" and the boatman with a wide grin on his face said " but I am happy with what I'm doing being a boatman!". Hope you learned a bit here. |
