I know I'm not supposed to react on these things but this has gone farther than expected. It's about my brother and your lame comments about him. Shame on you people.
I may not be the most perfect sister in the world but this is what you people must remember. If any of you ever try to hurt my siblings, you're toast. I'm not violent so I think this would be the right way.
Calling my brother "eksena" or "mahangin" is somewhat a sign of your wrong breeding. My brother may sometimes be irritating or annoyingly longing for attention, but aren't most of us during that stage of life? He has his flaws. You have yours too. And they're even more than what my brother has. And if you try to call him that, please do it in a straightforward way. He wants to hear what you're saying. He won't cry in front of you, promise. My brother may be emotionally weak, but he doesn't cry in front of people. He cries in front of us because of your stupid insults. We tell him to not be what-you're-telling-him-that-he-is. We may not be with him in school but we know that he's trying hard to change. Trying hard to be accepted.
He may be immature and childish at times but look here dude, who's more immature now? You're actually corrupting him into being like this. Before he enrolled in that school, he wasn't like this. Dude, this may seem mean of me, but I think you're the reason why he became like this. He wouldn't be loud just because he wants to annoy us. He wasnt' public student-ish. He was respectful. He called me ATE. [Guessed it right, now he doesn't.] He was so nice. Everyone loved him. And he didn't think of what other people think about him. Now, he's this annoying kid who everyone thinks of as disrespectful and unkind.
We are the family, yes, and we must make sure he grows up in a right way. We are doing it with all our might. But most of his day is spent in school. How can we control that? Sheesh. Maybe some of it is our fault but hey, we tried pulling him away from the hell of an environment that is, but this you should remember: he cried and said, "No. I'm staying sa Mother Goose."
Ok. Let's go back to the 'mahangin' and 'eksena' parts.
My brother once mentioned in one of our heart-to-heart talks that he was called 'mahangin' a couple of times. It's his fault maybe if he's a brag, but dude, maybe it's your fault din for not being open-minded. Not to brag and this is for your information: In his former school, having a PS3 and a PSP is just normal. It's not his fault if he thought that it's the same there. Dude, he is young. And adjusting was too fast to carry on his own pace. So try to understand, dude. You're lucky you did not experience what he went through. Being pulled out from an international school in another country and being placed in an environment totally different and having no other choice but to accede? Dude, what you were asking him was too much. He can adjust, but give him time.
And 'eksena'. How would you call him 'eksena'? First, dude, get your grammar and word-construction right. 'EKSENA' refers to a scene. Without any further description. For me, if I'm totally naive in this mean surrounding, I would totally say that I'm flattered. Being called a 'scene' means you're eye-catching. Notable. Sheesh. You probably don't know. Call him 'papansin'. That'd be more appropriate. But longing for attention is natural when you're the youngest in the family. Agree? He's the bunso. But he doesn't get much attention here at home. Blame me. So stop saying that he's an 'eksena' or what 'cause you dudes probably are, too. You just don't see it 'cause you're too busy fault-finding.
I won't name the actual dudes who gave my brother much emotional and mental trauma because I may hate you to bones, but I have my manners well kept.
Mother Goose people. You're just proving that the gossip's true. That you're school's full of people who act like they're studying in a public institution. Say what you want to say, but please make sure that what you're saying is true. Ya'll have opinions on him but please, if you don't have anything good to say, keep those mouths shut. 'Cause honestly, he doesn't speak foul about you. So if you dudes at least have an ounce of good breeding, please follow the golden rule. That's all I have to say.
It'll be my pleasure if you read this. I'm not mean. I'm just being a good ate. Hate me if you must but don't hate my brother because of this. Okies, darlings?
God Bless na lang. ;]

A link to a blog and my reaction to it. Simple. Dude, read it if you want to.
Doctor? Think again. :>
My reaction:
As a kid, I’ve always pictured myself as the woman in the white coat, with an MD attached to the end of her name. Isn’t it nice? So perfect. :]
I never knew that the road to being that woman would be so rough. I saw this blog from a forum where all girls share the same reverie. Grabe. I was surprised by how hard it is to survive that you might consider giving up everything you’ve worked for.
But the blogger did not give up. For she saw that being a doctor was a passion, not a source of big bucks. That being a doctor was not a source of recognition but a source of endless sacrifices. I deeply thought about it. Twice. Thrice. But after all the thinking, I realized I still wanted to discover those on my own.
And what I need to instill in my mind now is focus. Concentration. I need to pay much attention to every single step of the way. I need to stop paying attention to things that don’t really need much of it.
Click the link above and think again.
But after I’ve read the whole article, this is what I’ve learned;
People who have “sour grapes” think that recognition every doctor gets isn’t enough for everything they’ve done the time they were studying or more often, they think otherwise. But passionate doctors think that there’s more to a white coat and an MD to their name. More to the universities they came from or the degrees they have. Every single second they have spent in Med School is paid off effortlessly by every single patient’s smile, for by that they know they have done their job well.
I want to be a doctor. No matter what. I want to be a BS Health Sciences Graduate hailing from the Ateneo De Manila University. I want to be a certified doctor from the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health. I want to graduate with honors. I want to pass the Board Examination. I want to have an MD at the end of my name and finally, wear a white coat.
If I were ever asked on why do I want to become one, the answers are typical, yet very true. Same as the blogger. To save humanity. And my own. Be an example to everyone who aspires to be one. I want to look up to the blogger the way I want to be looked up to. I hope and pray that all these will come true.
After ten years, I still want to see this blog alive. I hope after those ten long years, I want to see my name with an MD, then wearing a white coat.
Hope your dreams do come true too. ;]
God Bless. :]

Philippine National Elections 2010
1) Some of my bets lost. :[ Actually, the best ones of my bets lost.
2) Automated Elections were a success.
3) Wasn't able to vote due to my underaging. :]]
4) Hoping and praying for the success of the country under this new administration.
5) Not liking Antipolo's new government.
Antipolo
1) The Shell "gigantic" streamer was removed. Shame on them. :|
2) Posters of Leyble and Ynares were removed. Alright.
3) Love the sunset every single day.
4) Love the natural feel of the city.
5) Lores and Ever are becoming everyday family spots.
6) Won't mind seeing my former classmates. Never been any more comfortable.
7) Stuff in my head every time I see the sunset and the mountains. :]]
Trumpets
1) Just have learned the songs and their tunes.
2) 8 days before the showcase!
3) Love my friends. We are just one big happy family.
4) I have just discovered (from Raphy) that I every time I talk, I sound dead serious. :]]
Life and Spirituality
1) Leave everything to Him and it'll be alright.
2) Everything will happen in His will. No less and no more than what we need, not want.
3) If He gives you an opportunity, never let go of it just because you have to go with the wind. Go with His wind, and you'll achieve what you have been wanting and praying for. ;]
4) If something doesn't come your way now, maybe there's a better time later.
5) What or who you want might come or won't but He will always give you a chance to experience it before you call it 'done' yourself.
6) Take chances. Because if no one did, the world is still "cave-ish". Taking chances is never bad if you know your limitations and if you do it with discretion.
7) Never underestimate what He can do.
8) Learn to give what's not right for you. Because maybe the other person needs and deserves it more than you do.
9) Trust God. If he tells you to let go, do it with joy. Because it means that He is pretty sure it's not for you.
10) Be thankful for every morning you find yourself still alive.
11) Do not ever try to step on other people just to get what you want. 'Cause you'll turn out to be the enemy, not the protagonist of the story.
12) Before it's too late, just try to see if you 'click' as friends. Because that's what hurts the most. Regretting something you were never able to do.
----------
All for now. :]
God Bless.

I know I'm not old enough to vote yet and this article's relation to politics might seem peculiar to be written by a tactless 14-year old blogger but I know that I've never been this concerned to politics and I should share these thoughts with you, however pointless or nonsense they may sound.
Who should we vote? Really. It's not the question. "Who" is mainly a question pertaining to names. Thousands may flock containing different surnames or names of all kinds. It is NEVER wrong, in my opinion, that political dynasties are present in our country today. Why? 'Cause people's perceptions of these surnames, names, or blood relations of politicians should, of course, not depend on who their parents are or what their parents have done. It should depend on what they have done and are doing as individual people who are making the land a better place to live in.
It is either an advantage or a disadvantage for politicians. Know why? Advantage: Some kids of those parents who have served the country with good reputations and political standings. Very lucky of them. Disadvantage: Those kids of politicians who are thought of as "trapos" because of the negative rumors or proven crimes their parents have done. These are the most unfortunate of all. Even though they try to prove their good intentions, their reputations are still overshadowed by the names that they carry. It may seem harsh for the people but they could be taken advantage of too, so it's just quite fair.
How? For example, a politician''s parents have been very good servants of the people. But sometimes, people trust too much on good surnames and such that they forget to look at the achievements or milestones the politician has done through the course of his or her political career. See my point?
Final verdict: Political Dynasties are never a problem if taken wisely by voters. We must, as main instruments of the electoral process, choose in these political dynasties, not mainly by surname or legacy the parents have left, but by how these have helped in transforming the politician to be better [or worse] than the rest, may be by experience or the way they were raised by the parents.
In the end, it all depends on you, dear citizens of the Philippines [and Antipolo, perhaps] to decide and choose all those who are deserving. As a democratic country, we are free to decide. Vote Wisely!
Good Luck, tomorrow. May 10, 2010. A day that will definitely change the country.
God Bless.

This day was starting ordinarily. I haven't got much to tweet and that has only happened today. This morning.
So this one isn't really much about my day. It's about what happened which made me decide.
This very afternoon, God gave me a challenge. It's a very hard one. Very confusing and amusing as well.
I had to choose between two paths. One is crooked, the other straight. [Noynoy much? :))] But let's say the crooked one is the path I've taken before. I have been quite happy but more of it gave me sadness and a future that's unsure. The straight one is the one I'm taking now. I'm not sure if it's crooked [or even broken] in the end or the middle 'cause I'm just starting. It has a future that's well-ground, pretty sure, and happiness that could last forever. But I'm not really sure if it's 'for me'.
Ok. So I've been thinking. Lord, why would you give me this decision to make? I know inside, it's time na rin. I can never walk two paths at the same time. I know I'll be getting to the straight one sooner, and my legs aren't that flexible. So God made me decide. Am I ready to let the crooked path go and take the chance of walking on the straight path, although uncertain of what trials come with it?
I saw the crooked path again. But I thought, is it still worth it? Is it, if I have a better choice? Because what I did before with it, I tried to make it straight, but I guess time was against my will. And so is fate. It really wasn't meant to walk on. God gave this sign na, "Ano, bigay na?"
Kasi someone once told me, "You can never have something better, without completely and wholeheartedly giving up what you have now." And I think it's time.
I chose to take the straight path. No looking back. I know I'm not really sure of what's in store but I'm ready to take chances. This time, I'm ready to walk on it. This time, I mean it. This time, I'm letting go. And this time, I won't regret it.
In this fight, I have God as my guardian and my source of strength. I have decided. And He has helped me.
Fabilioh 'til the end!
