Things You Can Do To Have a Better Brain

2011-12-10T11:00:00.001+08:00

Get Eight Hours’ Sleep Every Night

If you want to function at your mental andphysical peak, make sure you get seven to eight hours of sleep on most nights.(On average, we sleep 20 percent less than we did a hundred years ago when nineand a half hours of sleep a night was the norm.) Constant sleep deprivation isvery bad for your brain, for both the short term and the long term. Even a mildsleep deficit—getting six hours of sleep for a few nights in a row instead ofeight hours—will slow you down and cause notable decline in performance onstandard mental function tests. Moreover, when you’re tired, you’re more likelyto be irritable and have less mental and emotional stamina. Tired peoplemisplace things more often, have more trouble recalling information, and ingeneral are not as sharp as those who get enough sleep.

Sleep serves an important purpose for your brain.Sleep is a time when our cells can do vital repair work, “cleaning up” toxinsthat accumulate in the brain and keeping brain cells in optimal condition. Ifyou don’t allow your brain to do this essential housekeeping, toxins willaccumulate in your brain over time and accelerate brain aging. Sleep is also atime when your brain processes new information. A good night’s sleep can enhanceyour ability to learn and understand new concepts. In sum, if you don’t getenough sleep, your brain will pay the price.

Think Twice Before Taking a Drug

If you are routinely taking a prescription orover-the-counter medicine (three times a week or more) be sure that it is notdepleting your brain of important nutrients. Hundreds of drugs sap the brain ofB vitamins and antioxidants (like Co-Q10 and glutathione) that are essentialfor brain health. If you are taking a drug that depletes your brain ofimportant nutrients, it is critical to replenish that nutrient by taking the appropriatesupplements. If you are, follow the correct supplement program designed torestore those nutrients. This way you’ll be sure that you are not inadvertentlystarving your brain of important nutrients that keep it running smoothly andprotect it against premature aging. (Buy the book to know if you are taking anutrient depleting drug. HEHEHE. Title of the book is BETTER BRAIN BOOK by DR.DAVID PERLMUTTER.)

Take These Three Supplements

If you can’t bear the thought of taking severalpills daily, start off by taking three brain-essential supplements. That’sthree pills, once a day, with food. Really simple. It requires very littlecommitment, yet the three supplements that I recommend here can help to keepyour brain running well right now and protect against brain degeneration downthe road.

DHA: 300 mg daily

Vitamin E: 200 IU daily (d-alpha, not dl-alpha form)

B-complex vitamin: one capsule daily

A basic vitamin B complex supplement should includethe following.

B1 (thiamine): 50 mg

B3 (niacin as niacinamide): 50 mg

B6 (pyridoxine): 50 mg

Folic acid: 400 mcg

B12 (cobalamin): 500 mcg

There are several brands of B complex that offerthese supplements in one capsule.

Why DHA? About 25 percent of the total human brainfat is composed of DHA; it provides brain cell membranes with the flexibility necessary for efficient communication so that you can thinkbetter and faster. This substance is not produced by the body and must beobtained through food or supplements. It’s difficult to get enough DHA from foodalone, and therefore I recommend that everyone take a DHA supplement.

Why vitamin E? The fat in your brain is especially vulnerableto free radical attack, which is why everyone should take vitamin E daily.Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, which means that it can get into parts of thecell—notably the cell membrane—that are not accessible to other antioxidants.It’s important to remember that when free radicals are allowed to run amok inyour brain, they prevent your brain cells from doing their job properly, whichis why you become forgetful or have difficulty learning new information orstaying focused. The long-term effect of free radicals gone wild can becatastrophic and is linked to Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, andstroke, among other neurological ailments. Simply taking vitamin E daily canhelp reduce the lethal effects of free radicals.

Why B complex? If you want to stay in a good mood, you needyour B vitamins. If you want to avoid premature brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease,you also need your B vitamins. What happens if you don’t get

enough B vitamins? You are vulnerable to depression, memoryproblems, and dementia. B vitamins are critical for brain health primarilybecause they control homocysteine, the amino acid naturally produced by thebody. High levels of homocysteine can promote inflammation, damage bloodvessels that deliver blood to the brain, and kill brain cells. In most cases,homocysteine is easily controlled by taking B vitamins.

Get the Trans-Fatty Acids Off Your Plate

Stop eating foods that contain trans-fatty acids.You don’t need them, and you will be far better off without them. As you knowby now, many brands of margarine and polyunsaturated oils undergo a chemicalmodification to extend their shelf life and make them easier to use in bakingthat in the process creates trans-fatty acids. Trans-fatty acids are theprimary fats found in packaged baked goods (cookies, cakes, chips) and friedfoods. Like any other dietary fat, trans-fatty acids become incorporated intoyour cell membranes. Unlike healthier fats, trans-fatty acids can make yourcell membranes hard and rigid, and will make your brain sluggish. Your abilityto remember, learn new things, and maintain a good mood are all dependent onhaving healthy, flexible cell membranes. Trans-fatty acids will slow your brainresponse time down while wildly accelerating the aging process.

How do you know if a food contains trans-fattyacids? Read the ingredient labels. Don’t buy foods that contain hydrogenatedoils or partially hydrogenated oils. Don’t eat fried foods—this includes Frenchfries, donuts, and most chips (corn, cheese, and potato). (Baked chips may alsocontain hydrogenated oils, so read the labels before eating these foods.) Yourbrain will thank you.

Have Some Fun

Make recreational activity a part of your life. Itwill make you smarter and happier and keep your brain going longer. My onlyrequirement is that you choose an activity that you don’t normally do every dayas part of your job. Play an instrument. Play bridge. Join a book club. Makepottery. Whatever you choose to do, recreational activity is good for your brainfor several reasons. First, it’s a great way to relieve stress. When you’reconcentrating on an activity that you enjoy, it’s possible to shut out all theirritants that tie you up in knots and send potentially damaging stresshormones soaring. Second, when you stimulate brain cells with a new challenge,you make new dendrites, the connections between neurons that are essential forthe assimilation and processing of information. The more dendrites you have,the better your brain cells can communicate, and the “smarter” you will be. Anadded bonus: Studies show that people who do some activity beyond work are atlower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people who don’t. So go outand have some fun. Doctor’s orders!

TOP 10 Reasons Bakit Di Na Kailangang Mag-aral!!! (Version 2.00)

2011-12-02T20:44:00.001+08:00

(Kung pareho lang kayo ng IQ ng doorknob, wag mo na basahin. Di morin lang magets na kalokohan to at katuwaan lang. Kung narinig niyo na yungsalitang joke, parang ganun ito lol. Kung may pagkakapareho man sa totoongbuhay, baka dun nga nanggaling yung kwento. Hahahaha..)

REASON 1: PWEDE BUMILI NG DIPLOMA SA RECTO

Dalawa lang naman main purpose bakit may diploma. Una, paramagamit sa paghahanap ng trabaho at para may mai-display mga magulang mo sadingding niyo.

So kailangan mo ng trabaho? Punta lang sa Recto at wala pang 24hours may diploma ka na! Pwede ka na mag-apply sa trabahong pinapangarap mo!Madami na nakapag-abroad dahil sa mga pekeng dokumento galing sa Recto. So wagna magpahuli!

REASON 2: WALANG SILBI ANG MATH SA LAWYER AT PANG-BILYARLANG NAMAN ANG GEOMETRY SABI NI FRANCIS CHIZ ESCUDERO NOONG 2006

O di ba? Ang idol niyong si Chiz eh di naman nagamit ang Algebra,Trigonometry at Calculus sa pagiging abugado at politician niya!

So bakit mag-aral ng math eh kailangan mo lang naman i-empress mgaPilipino sa pagsasalita ng tagalog. Nevermind kung contradicting o redundantmga sinasabi mo kasi di naman nila yun mapapasin. Kung mapansin man nila, sansila magrereklamo?

Tsaka, kung gusto ng batang nag-aaral ng elementarya/high schoolmatuto ng Algebra Trigonometry at Calculus, bahala siya sa buhay niya,magdesisyon na siya para sa kanyang sarili. Matanda na siya para malaman ifgusto niya mag-engineer o kumuha ng kursong madaming math.

So kung gusto mong maging sikat na politician, laway lang puhunanmo. Magdasal ka lang na walang mandaraya sayo sa posiyentuhan sa mga kickbacksa mga proyekto ng gobyerno, at magpanggap na lang na masakit ang ulo kung maymagpresent sa iyo ng mga economic reports or proposals na may numbers natungkol sa ekomiya na nakabase sa mathematical computations. ;)

Tsaka bakit pa mag-aaral ng History eh nakaraan na nga. Dapat namag-move on na sa past!

Bakit mag-aaral ng Chemistry? Toyo patis at suka lang namanpaghahaluin mo pag kakain ka. Bakit kelangan mo bang alamin kung acid o baseang ang pagkain para mabusog ka? Basta may pagkain ka sa harap mo, mabubuhay kana!

Bakit pa may Values Education? Eh yung mga pulitiko nga natin silamismo nanloloko sa atin! Sila ang mas may kailangan nun hindi ang mgaordinaryong Pinoy! Kung minsan nga mga nagtuturo mismo walang values. :p

Bakit pa mag-aaral ng Science eh mamamatay din lang naman tayonglahat. So wag na pag-aralan mga living at non-living things kasi darating angpanahon na magiging non-living things na rin lang lahat. Kapag abo na tayo,wala na bearing kung ano man grade mo sa mga subjects mo.

Bakit pa merong PE? Pagod ka na nga kakalakad sa buong campus,pagtetext, facebook, pag copy-paste ng project sa internet at pangongopya ngassignments tapos papagurin ka pa pagtakbo takbo sa basketbol court? Makatao bayun?!!

Buti pa yung ROTC may silbi. Nakakapraktis ka kumanta kapag lateka dumating. Sing and dance pa ipapagawa sa iyo depende sa topak ni Officer.Siyempre tuwang tuwa ka naman kasi yun naman pangarap mo sa buhay mo, angmakapagperform sa harap ng mga tao! Stepping stone para sa Talentadong Pinoy atPilipinas Got Untalented Judge.

REASON 3: KAWAWA ANG MGA BUSINESSMEN AT MEDIA PAG MATALINO NA ANGMGA PINOY

Imagine mo na lang kung lalawak ang pang-unawa ng mga Pinoy sapagdedesisyon. Di na sila basta basta maloloko ng mga advertisement sa TV.Mahihirapan sila magbenta ng mga walang kwentang produkto nila. So paano nasila makakabakasyon sa Boracay?

Paano na ang pagbili nila ng mga malalawak na bukirin napapatayuan nila ng mga mansiyon nila kapag na-realize ng mga Pinoy na masmabisa pa rin ang ampalaya, malunggay, atbp. sa palengke kesa sa mga pinatuyoat giniling na gulay na nasa loob ng kapsula?

Kawawa si businessman. Paano na ang mga electric bills, waterbills, phone bills, allowance ng mga anak, allowance ng mga anak sa labas,panggastos ng pamilya, panggastos ng pamilya sa kabit , atbp., kung marealizeng mga Pinoy na di naman ibig sabihin na pag mas mahal eh mas matibay, masmahal mas maganda, na pag mas mura mas lowtech...

Kawawa din ang mga reporter kasi mawawalan na sila ng kredibilidadpag malaman nila na madali lang pala balubaluktutin ang mga impormasyon paramaging pabor sa sino mang gustong magbayad.

REASON 4: DI NAMAN KAILANGAN MAG-ARAL PARA UMASENSO SA BUHAY

Sa tingin mo, lahat ba ng nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral ehmaganda ang trabaho at malaki ang sweldo?

Pwede ka naman tumaya sa lotto. Pag manalo ka, di mo nakailangan magtrabaho!

Pwede ka naman magshowbiz. Natural naman sa mga Pilipino angmag-acting . Konting praktis lang sa harap ng salamin at ilang kanta lang savideoke pwede na! Di naman kailangan na sobrang galing ka para makapasok sashowbiz. Nood ka ng ASAP at SOP tuwing linggo at pakinggan mga mag-labtim nakumakanta. Mas maganda pa pagkanta ng kabitbahay niyong kinaiinisan mo kasi anglakas pag magvideoke sila.

Kung pangit ka naman, pwede ka magpabatok batok atmagpainsulto. Instant komedyante ka na!

Kung guwapo at maganda ka, magpa-cute ka lang pwede na! Wagmo na isipin acting mo. Mukha lang naman tinitingnan ng mga Pinoy. Basta guwapoat maganda, pwede na kahit gasgas na rin ang kwento ng pelikula o telenobela.

Kung anak ka ng sikat na tao, mas madali naman ang pagsikatmo!

Kahit di ka nakapag-aral, pwede ka rin magbusiness. Madalilang suhulan ang mga nasa gobyerno para makakuha ng kung anu-anung permit kahitdi ka mag-comply sa mga requirements.

Kung medyo walang koneksiyon o padrino, mag-squat ka sa lupang gobyerno. Magpatayo ng bahay na maraming kwarto. Iparenta ang mga bakantengkwarto para may income ka. Kung papaalisin na kayo sa lupa kung saan kayoillegal na nakatira, pwede kayo humingi ng relocation ayon sa batas. Taposibenta mo ang lupa at bahay na ibibigay sayo at mag-squat ulit sa bakantenglupa ng gobyerno.

Kung wala talaga swerte, mamalimos ka na lang. Hanap ka langng lugar na daanan ng tao, maglagay nglata sa harap mo, at maghintay na bumuhos ang pera. Pag medyo may asenso na ngkonti, pwede ka na mag-hire ng tagapalimos at magpatayo ng branch sa lahat ngsulok ng siyudad.

REASON 5: DI NAMAN IBIG SABIHIN NA KAPAG MATAAS GRADE MO,MAGALING KA NA

Sa quiz, kapag ba mas mataas ang nakuha ni Pedro kaysa kayJuan, ibig bang sabihin na mas matalino at mas magaling na si Pedro kesa kayJuan? Di ba pwedeng nangopya muna o may kodigo o tsamba lang sa multiple choiceat true or false?

Kapag ba sa UP, Ateneo, La Salle o Andres Bukid ElementarySchool na nagtapos mas magaling na siya kesa sa mga nagtapos ng STI, AMA,Pacman University (PAC-U), Harvard o Yale?

Di naman reliable yang mga grades na binibigay ng mgateacher. Porke ba di mo alam mga gusto niyang malaman mo, bobo ka na? Di bapwedeng mas gusto mo lang piliin mga maling sagot? Di ba pwedeng mali namanpiliin? Kasi nakakasawa na piliin mga tama. Tutal, mas ‘in’ naman ngayon mgamali. Mas pasaway ka, mas sikat ka sa barkada! Tingnan mo ngayon kung sino mgasikat, mga may kaso at criminal!

Tsaka mababasa mo naman sa internet mga tinuturo ngayon samga paaralan. So what’s the point na pumasok pa ng school?

REASON 6: LAHAT NAMAN PUMAPASA SA ELEMENTARY AT HIGH SCHOOLBASTA REGULAR KA LANG NA PUMASOK AT WAG GUMAWA NG KATARANTADUHAN

Pansinin mo, sa quiz or exam niyo noong elementary at highschool, kahit 1 out of 50, o kahit bokya man score, pasado pa rin!

So bakit pa papapasukin ang mga bata kung papasa din langnaman sila kahit may matutunan/malaman man sila o wala? Gastos lang sauniporme, books, raket na film showing ni teacher, panindang pulburon niteacher, at projects na halaman at parol tuwing pasko.

Madali ka rin lang makatuntong sa college kasi matrabahomagbagsak ng istudyante sa sa high school. Kailangan mo i-justify bakit siyabagsak. So para wala na paliwanagan, ipasa na lang. Pagdating mo naman ngcollege, pumili ka lang ng business oriented na school. Kasi wala naman silapakialam kung may matutunan man students nila. Importante, malaki population ngschool para mas madami kita sa tuition. Pag marami kayong binagsak ng Propesor,isumbong mo sa may-ari ng school at sabihin na di marunong magturo ang Prof. Papagalitanang Prof at kung suswertehin, papalitan ng pasado ang grade niyo. Malas mo nalang kung magresign si Prof kasi di niya masikmura pamamalakad ng school admin.

REASON 7: DI NAMAN TAYO AMERIKANO, HAPON, O TAGA EUROPA PARAMAG-ARAL NG MGA MATATAAS NA URI NG ARALIN

Wala rin lang naman tayong sapat na pasilidad para magamitang mga latest na discoveries sa sciences at technology so bakit papag-aaralan?

Tsaka kuntento na tayo sa mga scrap machines galing sa Japanat Korea. Konting repair lang, pintura at washing pwedeng na ipasada! Bahala naibang bansa mag-imbento ng kung anu-ano. Umasa na lang tayo sa mga basura nila.Tutal, high-tech naman mga yun dati. Magastos at walang kasiguruhan kungmagresearch. Nakakapagod pa sa utak. Kawawa lang mga scientists natin.

REASON 8: MAHIRAP MANGAMPANYA TUWING ELEKSIYON PAGMATATALINO O NAG-IISIP ANG MGA BOTANTE

Imagine na lang ang hirap na daranasin ng mga pulitiko natintuwing eleksiyon pag nag-iisip na ang mga botante! Di na sila madadaan sapasayaw sayaw at pagkanta kanta ng mga kandidato. Maghahanap na ang mga botanteng mga plataporma at magtatanong na kung paano maipapatupad ang mga plataporma.Hindi yung pangako ng kung anu-ano pero puro naman suntok sa buwan. Yung tipongkailangan mo superpowers nina Son Goku, Naruto, Gundam Wings, Panday, Barney atTeletubies para lang maipatupad ang mga pangako.

Marerealize na rin ng mga tao na ang mga pulitiko ay ‘publicservant’ at di ‘public master’. So mahirap na mang-uto at manggamit ng mga taopara sa pansariling kapakanan ng ating mga napakasipag at napaka-productive napulitiko.

REASON 9: PWEDENG SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT ANG KABOBOHAN

Ang boring kaya ng buhay pag matalino lahat ng tao.

Pag kambing ka at may narinig ka na nagsabi ng “may nakitaakong kambing na 3 ang paa”, wag ka magalit kasi di naman ibig sabihin nun nalahat ng kambing ay 3 lang ang paa!

Pag kamukha mo si Angel Locsin at may nakita kang pangit nasinabihan na kamukha siya ni Angel Locsin, wag ka mainsulto kasi di naman niyasinabi na pangit ka. Malamang nambobola lang yun o sumisipsip para sapromotion!

Ito true-to-lie story sa bario namin. Si Boy Tutpiksinabihan si Manang Paa na mukha daw siyang sapatos. Nakarating kay AlingSapatos ang kwento at nainsulto kasi ikinumpara daw siya kay Manang Paa. Kayadun nagsimula ang away. Pero kungiisipin mo, sinabi ni Boy Tutpik na si Manang Paa ay Mukhang Sapatos. Si namanniya sinabi na Si Aling Sapatos ay mukhang paa. Magkaiba yun! Kaya ngayon, pagnagbabangayan sila, andami nilang napapasayang kalyo, kuto at at buhok sakilikili.

Speaking of bangayan, nakakatuwa din ang ginagawangkabobohan ng media. May interview sila kay Senador Baliw at may nasabi siya na tungkol sa anak ni NanayPanget. Interview din nila si Nanay Panget para patas daw. Tapos magigingheadline na, SENADOR BALIW AT NANAY PANGIT, NAGBANGAYAN! Di ba media tagabalitalang? Bakit parang sila na nagdidikta ng takbo ng balita? Kasi magbabangayan basila kung di sila na-interview? Buti sana nakita o nadatnan na nila sila nanagbabangayan. Eh hindi eh. Ganun pa man, napasaya nila ang manonood. Wag na isipinang serbisyo publiko o responsible journalism. Mas importante ang RATINGS paramataas ang kita!

REASON 10: DI NA MAIISIP NG READERS NA PAMPAHABA LANG TONGHULING REASON

So TOP 9 Reasons na lang kung gusto tanggalin tong REASON10. Di na consistent sa title ng article. Lol

(NEXT WEEK NA LANG YUNG TOP 10 REASONS KUNG BAKIT NAMAN NATIN KAILANGAN MAG-ARAL)

Privilegespeech sa kongreso ng idol mong si Chiz noong July 25-26, 2006:

Here’sthe link: http://www.congress.gov.ph/legis/print_journal.php?congress=13&id=143

Mr. Speaker, ang isang dahilan kung bakit kada taon maramitayong classrooms na kinakailangan ay dahil napakaraming nasisira sa kakulanganng supisyenteng pondo para i-maintain at i-repair lang sana ang mga classroomsna ito.

Secondly, Mr. Speaker, we should and we propose that thecurriculum be restudied. Mr. Speaker, I know that this will generate a lot ofdebate but I hope that our colleagues will listen for awhile. Sa ngayon,umaabot sa nine to eleven ang subjects ng ating mga estudyante sa elementary athigh school. Nakukuba na ang ating mga estudyante sa kakabitbit ng napakaraminglibro. Subalit ang tanong ko ho: Ito ba ay angkop pa rin sa pangangailangan ngating bansa sa ngayon? Ang kanila po bang pinag-aralan ay nagagamit nila sakanilang buhay sa labas ng paaralan at magagamit kapagka sila ay naghanap ngtrabaho?
I can only cite myself as an example, Mr. Speaker, but mula po nung natapos akonung high school hindi ko pa nagamit ang Calculus, hindi ko pa ho nagamit andTrigonometry, hindi ko pa ho nagamit and Algebra, iyungGeometry, sa bilyar ko lang nagamit. At iyong mga ibangitinuturo ay marapat sigurong ituro sa kolehiyo kung nais maging inhinyero ngisang bata. Iyong mga ibang itinuturo, marapat sigurong ibigay na lamang natingsa kanila sa kolehiyo o bilang elective pagdating ng high school.

Minsan naisipan niya magpanggap na matalino...

Ano mangyayari?

Magiging matalino siya kasi magaling siya magpanggap?

O mas lilitaw pa rin pagiging bobo niya?

At ano kaya ginagawa niya ngaun?

Ayun sa report, kasalukuyan daw niya binabasa itong post ko ngaun! Hahaha... :p

Freedom of Expression..

2011-11-26T12:39:00.001+08:00

Opo, may freedom of expression tayo pero di po yan absolute. Kaya nga may libel..kasi dapat may RESPETO din..

On the other hand, yung exibit sa CCP na 'bastos' diumano ay para sa mga gustong makakita ng 'art', so para sa mga 'may sense of art'..

Naging magulo at napalaki lang ang gulo dahil sa exaggeration or pagiging insensitive or irresponsibility ng media.

Opinyon lang po...

Matulungin ka ba?

2011-11-26T12:37:00.001+08:00

may matanda kanina humihingi tulong para sa gastos sa ospital daw sa Bolingit.. Nung tatawagan na ng cofaculty ko yung hospital, biglang sinabi 'nilipat na sa Makati'..

TOINKS!!!

Di masama tumulong, pero kung di naman kapani paniwala humihingi ng tulong, tutulungan mo ba?

'ingats!', sabi nga ni John 'Lock' Lloyd.. :p

buhay na naman ang usapin kung English o Filipino ang dapat gamitin?

Kung aso lang namin tatanungin, malamang sagot niya kahit ano basta naiintindihan niya..

Btw, multilingual po aso namin. Naiintindihan niya ang 'sit' 'upo' at ' tugaw' (ilokano ng sit).. Di ko alam kung what language ang 'shooo'.. Ginagamit namin pag para ipaalam sa aso namin na bugawin manok sa gulayan..

Gowd murneeng and havablesseday!

CRAB MENTALITY

2011-11-26T12:21:00.001+08:00

Pag isipan mo to:

Huwag mong siraan o gumawa ng paraa para bumagsak ang TUMALO SA IYO..

Dapat mo pa siya tulungan umangat at magtagumpay sa anumang gagawin niya..

Kasi kung palpak siya sa mga ginagawa niya, ano na lang iisipin ng tao sa iyo na tinalo niya?

Kung bobo siya at loser, sino mas bobo at loser? Di ba ikaw na tinalo niya?

No to CRAB MENTALITY!

TEXT NI AMPATUNGAN KAY GLORIE

Madali nahuli si DESTISTIRADOR kasi walang kamag-anak na mayaman o may mataas na katungkulan..

REPLY NI GLORIE:

Moral lesson:

Mabilis kumilos ang hustisya sa mga small time crime kasi walang takip na pera sa mukha ng mga tagapagpatupad ng batas.. Wala rin kamag-anak na bigtime o padrino sa gobyerno kaya cased closed na anytime!

Old Balara Demolition

2011-11-26T12:17:00.001+08:00

moral lesson sa old balara demolition: wag mag squat sa private na lupa..wala ka makukuha pag paaalisin ka na ayon sa batas..

Pero pag lupa ng gobyerno, may karapatan kang humingi ng relocation..

pag di mo type ang relocation na ibibigay, pwede mo ibenta at mag squat ulit sa lupa ng gobyerno!

Ano pa hinihintay mo?! Mag squat na!

This message is brought to you by Shining Star Professional Squatters Association of Tondo..

Ano sa palagay mo? :p

Sagot ng gobyerno sa kakulangan ng chalk allowance..

GUMAMIT NG ULING!

P180 lang per sako ng uling.. Abot na siguro un isang taon!

Bakit mababa ang pasweldo sa Pilipinas?

2011-11-26T11:23:00.001+08:00

Bakit mababa ang pasweldo sa mga ordinaryong manggagawa dito sa Pilipinas?

Isa sa napakaming rason ay MALAKI ANG POPULATION NATIN.

Kahit gaano kababa ang sweldo, maraming mag-aaply na nangangailangan ng trabaho.

Kung konti lang ang tao, tataasan ng employer ang sweldo para lang may mag-apply...

NEW VERSION OF "AKO AY MAY LOBO"

Boy: Ok. I respect your decision.. Matanda ka na.. I believe that you have the right to commit your own mistakes!

Nyahaha..

Every town is celebrating and i am joining every town's parade! Ang saya saya!

Most of the town organized a parade for both lanes of the road to make sure that everyone will enjoy the pleasure and fun in the parade while travelling to Baguio or Manila...

So ano pa ginagawa niyo?! Magbiyahe na at subukang maexperience ang kakaibangTurism Adventure na naghihintay sa inyo!

IMPORTANCE OF NECKTIE

2011-11-22T22:09:00.001+08:00

narealize ko importance ng necktie sa school or office uniforms...

Ung blouse kasi ng girs ay bumubuka sa pagitan ng mga butones, kelangan ang necktie para di makita ang bra..

Sa boys naman, kelangan ng mahabang necktie, para pantakip if masira zipper ng pants..

Ano sa tingin niyo? Uy mga mata wag kung saan saan nakatingin! Hahaha

PROBLEM SOLVING IN MATHEMATICS

2011-11-22T22:00:00.001+08:00

Sa Algebra Night Class kanina:

Ako: (after solving the equation) S=25 and S=20.. But S is the speed of the slower runner.. Do you think both values are possible?

(silence...)

Ako: Of course possible.. 20 ft/s is the speed of the LEFT F00T and 25 ft/s is the speed of the RIGHT F00T!

Wahahaha...

BAKIT NAKAKAPAGOD MAGBIYAHE???

2011-11-22T21:55:00.001+08:00

Alam ko na kung bakit nakakapagod magbiyahe..

Kasi para ka rin sumasayaw.. Bawat liko, acceleration, at preno ng sasakyan, napapagalaw katawan mo..

Nag-eexert ka din ng effort para 'labanan' mga movements mo para mamaintain ang equilibrium ng position mo.. Example, pigilan mo katawan mo masubsob pag magreno..

So challenge sa mga engineers, magdesign ng mechanism sa upuan ng mga pasahero upang maminimize ang movement ng mga pasahero sa loob ng sasakyan habang umaandar ang sasakyan.. Ung tipong di mararamdaman ng mga pasahero na gumagalaw ang sasakyan..

Prisoner's Poem

2011-11-22T21:46:00.001+08:00

i am a prisoner
sentenced for fourteen years
my parents are happy

for I stay in my cell
the jailguards torture me
physically but more mentally
i searched for my freedom
but it is nowhere to be found

almost every day
i'm in front of a judge
watching me closely
evaluating my acts
physically i'm on the brink of burning out
and my brain anytime will burst out
one more year
and in this prison i'll be out

i'm praying to God
Lord give me enough patience
for i still have a year to finish my sentence
be my light in my cell
and illuminate the darkness in my brain
help me reach my goal
not to escape in the open door
for i am a prisoner
a prisoner of school.

OLD JOKE AND NEW VERSION

2011-11-22T21:35:00.001+08:00

OLD JOKE:Tatay: Anak, pag may bagsak kang grade this sem, kalimutan mo nang tatay mo ako..
Anak: Makakaasa po kayo..

Pagkakuha ng grades ni junior...

Tatay: Anak kamusta grades mo?
Anak: Who you?

NEW VERSION:

Tatay: Anak, pag may bagsak kang grade this sem, kalimutan mo nang tatay mo ako..
Anak: Makakaasa po kayo..

Sa araw na kuhanan ng grades, di umuwi si junior...

Makalipas ang 3 araw, di pa rin umuuwi si junior...

1 buwan na ang nakaraan di pa umuuwi si junior..

3 buwan na ang nagdaan di pa umuuwi si junior kaya nanawagan na sa TV ang Tatay..

"Anak, masyado mo naman dinibdib ang sinabi ko noon bago kuhanan ng grades. Alam mo naman na sa edukasyon mo lang tayo makakaahon sa kahirapan. Di ka naman gwapo at wala talent sa pagsayaw at pagkanta kaya wala ka pag-asa sa pag-aartista. Kahit pangit ka, di pa rin nakakatawa itsura mo kaya wala ka talaga future sa showbiz."

"Wala rin naman tayong dugong banyaga kaya di ka pwedemag-AZKAL. Magmumukha ka lang unggoy sa tabi ni James at Phil. Nakakahiya pag malaman nila na ako tatay mo."

"Lampa ka rin naman kaya wala rin pinatunguhan yung training natin sa pagboboksing mo. Baka bansagan ka lang na Pambansang Punching Bag..."

"Wala rin tayong kamag-anak sa gobyerno kaya wala tayong malalapitan na padrino para magpasok sa iyo sa trabaho kahit di ka nakatapos at mas marami deserving sa iyo sa pwesto."

"Sana maintindihan mo na sa diploma mo lang tayo umaasa. Gusto ko lang na matuto ka talaga at di yung pumapasok para lamang makapasa. Pumasa ka nga pero wala ka naman natutunan, di ba nakakahiya pag mag-apply ka na ng trabaho? Wag mo gayahin yung kapitbahay natin na nakatapos ng Engineering pero di naman marunong magconvert ng kilo to meters!!! Nakakahiya di ba?!!"
