FIVE MINUTES: If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

NOTHING: This is the calm before the storm. This means “something,” and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with ‘Nothing’ usually end in “Fine”

GO AHEAD: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t do it.

LOUD SIGH: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A “Loud Sigh” means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over “Nothing”

THAT’S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. “That’s Okay” means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

THANKS: A woman is thanking you. Do not question it. Just say you’re welcome. better learn something about women from women’s point of view coz we know ourselves better.

hehehehe^^

Great changes have taken place in the nature of our social life during the last forty years. The contact with Americans and their civilization as modified many of our old social customs, traditions, and practices, some for the worse and many for the better. The means of communication have improved and therefore, better understanding exists among the different sections of our country. Religious freedom has developed religious tolerance in our people. The growth of public schools and the establishment of democratic institutions have developed our national consciousness both in strength and solidarity.

With this growth in national consciousness and national spirit among our people, we witness the corresponding rise of a new conception of education-the training of the individual for the duties and privileges of citizenship, not only for his own happiness and efficiency but also for national service and welfare. In the old days, education was a private concern; now it is a public function, and the state not only has a duty but it has the right as well to educate every member of the community–the old as well as the young, women as well as men–not only for the good of the individual but also for the self-prevention and self-protection of the state itself. Our modern public school system has been established as a safeguard against the shortcomings and dangers of a democratic government and democratic institutions.

In the light of social changes, we come again to the question: What qualities should distinguish the educated Filipino of today? I venture to suggest that the educated Filipino should, first, be distinguished by the power to do. The Filipino of today needs more of is power to do. The Filipino of today needs more of his power to translate his reflection into action. I believe we are coming more and more to the conviction that no Filipino has the right to be considered educated unless he is prepared and ready to take an active and useful part in work, life and progress of our country as well as in the progress of the rest of the world.

The power to do embraces the ability to produce enough to support oneself and to contribute to the economic development of the Philippines. Undoubtedly, a man may be, and often is, an efficient producer of economic goods and at the same time he may not be educated. But should we consider a man who is utterly unable to support himself and is an economic burden to the society in which he lives; that he is educated merely because he possesses the superficial graces of culture? The sign of economic efficiency is not only the ability to produce material goods. Useful social participation may take the form of any of the valuable services rendered to society through such institution as the home, the church, and the government. The mother, for example, who prepares wholesome meals, takes good care of her children and trains them in morals and right conduct at ome, renders efficient service to the country as well as the statesman or captain of industry.

The educated Filipino , in the second place, should be distinguished not only by his knowledge of his race, his people and his country, but by his love of the truth and ideals that are people have learned to cherish. Our character, our culture, and our national history are the core of our national life, and, consequently, of our education. I would not have the educated Filipino ignore the history and culture of his own country and yet call himself educated?

The educated Filipino, in the third place, must have ingrained in his speech and conduct those elements that are everywhere recognized as accompaniments of culture and morality; so that, possessing the capacity for self-entertainment and study, he may not be at the mercy of the pleasure of the senses only or a burden to himself when alone.

There are, then, at least three characteristics which i believe to the evidence of the educated Filipino– the power to do, to support himself and to contribute to the wealth of our people; acquaintance with the world’s progress, especially with that of his race, people and community, together with love of our best ideals and traditions; and refined manners and moral conduct as well as the power of growth.[^^]

What do people say about this!!!

1. If you truly loved that person, you will never ever forget them. To keep your mind off of it you need to move on. Find somebody else that you could love.
2. You never forget someone that you love, you move on sometime, but never forget!
3. If you really “LOVE” why you want to Forget???
4. Impossible
5.Keep them in your heart, and move on!

Do you agree with this?

So, what’s my point? A big project could be a very terrifying work to finish, let’s say there’s no way you can finish it all day with one sit. And if that’s the case, the thing is that you should start early ahead of submission and work on it every time you can! Take it as a daily task-working on it.

This is a simple but a really helpful advice, so, just do it whenever your prof gave you a hard project. Any way your prof will never give you anything he\she knows you can’t do.

Being on time is a very critical value in life. Being on time builds up strong credibility on people around you and in large companies, the word ” being late” simply means “being fired”.

So, the next time you plan to be late, well, just think twice.

When i was a collage freshmen(1st semester), my parents were always fond of saying, “The only legacy we can give you is a good and proper education. So study hard.” Study hard? I exclaimed. Wasn’t I studying hard enough? Every day, I had to get up at 5:30 in the morning to get ready to school. I spent nine hours a day studying in school and another three hours doing my assignments and projects at home. On Saturdays, I would sometimes meet my classmates for group reports. I was convinced that Sunday was my only real rest day. My whole life revolved around studying, studying, and more studying! But come to think of it, that wasn’t so bad at all. True, I sometimes blamed my school requirements for getting in the way of having fun. I couldn’t go out with my old friends or family because i had to do homework or project. But i had so much more to be thankful for.

For one thing, it gave me the opportunity to meet new friends and other people who shared my interests. collage not only gave me a chance to get a good education, it is taught me how to form positive social relationships. I also didn’t have to deal with “grown-up” problems yet. Although i did some chores at home, I didn’t have to worry about planning meals or making the family budget. I didn’t have to go to work and earn a living. I wasn’t bothered by having to pay the bills or taxes.My parents were responsible for all of that. I realized that the only thing that was left for me was to study. Studying was my responsibility. And no one else was going to benefit more from it than myself. So I started devising ways on how I could be better at it.

First, I had to learn how to be responsible for my own time. If i wanted to spend my weekends for fun activities, I knew that i would have to give some extra hours on weeknights to finish my requirements. I made a game of resisting my favorite TV programs during my study hours.Next, I learned how to motivate myself into liking studying. It wasn’t easy at first especially If I didn’t like my teacher or if I wasn’t good in that subject. But I knew that i wanted to learn something and i used that to drive me to study. So the more difficult the subject got, the more I persisted in trying to understand it. I didn’t always succeed, but at least I could say that I gave my best shot.

I had some help from friends who wanted to study seriously, too. We formed study groups to help each other. For example, those who were good in Math or English or Programming would teach the rest of us who weren’t. We learn more from sharing our knowledge.

With all these measures, You probably think that i finished my 1st sem at the top of my collage class. I didn’t. I got regular grades like most of my classmates. But they made me understand the importance of studying. I also appreciate the fact that I had the chance to get a good education, which many Filipino’s can’t even afford. Besides, studying was my responsibility. And If i wanted to prove to my parents that I could be a responsible teenager, I would have to be a good student first…..^^

One of the worst scenarios is when you’ve made a perfect project but then, you’ve went beyond the deadline. Initially many would be demoralized that the very project they died to make would be of no use.

I have a tip for this one, even if you’ve failed to pass it on the deadline, you should still take a chance and pass it! Even if your profstated clearly that he-she will not accept such late submissions, he-she might just change his-her mind when he-she sees how great your output was.

Besides, taking chances won’t hurt.

Do you find yourself running to check your Facebook profile everyday? Maybe more than once a day?

Have you ever IM’d someone who was sitting right in the next room, or at least close enough to pick up the phone and call?

Do you communicate with your friends and family more on Facebook than you do in person or by phone?

Do you look to see how many new friends you have everyday?

Do you take random quizzes, like “Which celebrity actor/actress should you marry?” and forward the results to 20 of your friends, only to be so embarrassed by the results that you delete it from your profile so that no one will see?

Do you join causes and then do nothing with them but post them on your profile?

Do you spend untold amounts of time paging through screen upon screen of clever Flairs, arranging them on your corkboard, only to have no one ever really look at them?

Have you found yourself hunting for Easter Eggs and Peeps that friends have thoughtfully sent you and not been able to figure out how to find them?

Do you spend hours looking at your friends’ photos, only to realize that you’ve spent half your Saturday on the computer doing nothing productive?

Don’t get me wrong — I LOVE FACEBOOK!!! In fact, after resisting the temptation to join for a very long time for some of the very reasons listed above, I did recently join and I’m having a ton of fun with it. I am truly a Facebook junkie now, and I can’t stop!!!!

Do you find yourself in the same situation? If so, join me. I know I’m not the only one. Let’s see how many people feel the same way we do. Send this out to your friends, and let them send it out to their friends, etc., etc. We love Facebook, but life away from the computer DOES exist! I need to get back to it! Laundry needs to be done. Groceries need to be purchased. Homework needs to be studied. Friends need to be visited — IN PERSON. Life needs to be lived! Cuz, ya know….we need to take more pictures of our fun experiences in life to share, of course, right here — with our friends on Facebook! Sign up and invite your friends
