Special Day

Being in relationship is not always fun, you both will go ups and down along the way. I can say as girlfriend, my character and attitude has been tested for how long and how much I can handle things. My patience and level of understanding on things and situations between me and HiM were shaken off because I and HiM are totally different two individuals... (^_~). Loving him, means accepting and embracing HiM as a whole.
It`s a day to celebrate, one year that we`re together not only as girlfriend and boyfriend but also best partners in everything. HiM for a year, become my best friend that cuddle me and gives me comfort. A lover that treat me like a princess and also the best enemy who brings out the best in me.
I`m so thankful that our love to each other made it for a year and I`m praying that we will make it last forever. We just have a simple dinner as we celebrate our anniversary, no banquet of flowers, sweet chocolate, or a bottle of wine. What matters to us is we`re together sharing same old stories, reminiscing the whole year that passed happy and in love. I won`t promise for anything but I`m always be thankful to God that I have you now.
Agave Mexican Cantina at Bonifacio High Street, give us a mouth watering food for dinner, that really satisfy our tummy's.  Very nice place for us celebrating our anniversary as well as to chill and relax for a night that we`re together.
Happy Anniversary Mahal Ko... I love you (^_~)

As Guest Speaker

Every student look forward to their graduation day, this will mark a day of victory after a long years of hard work at last this day had come. And to be invited and be chosen as a guest speaker in a Commencement exercises is really flattering. I`m thankful and overwhelmed  given the opportunity to speak before the gradating class, especially in my own Elementary Alma Matter, that in my own little way I could inspired them to do their best. As guest speaker, I know it`s a big responsibility I hope I can give justice. I`m really nervous having my speech, also I`m controlling myself not to cry for this is very nostalgic moment.
To Mr. Aldrin Estipona our principal, Barangay Captain, Mr. Jose Esteves and councilors, PTA President, Mr. Mario Pura and co- officers, Teachers, Parents, graduates at sa lahat ng naririto, Masaya at Magandang hapon po sa ating lahat.

Great feeling and so honored is in my heart, for you have invited and chosen me to be your guest speaker today, in this Commencement Exercises for school year 2012-2013. A very special and momentous occasion. For me it was a big responsibility to stand here and speak before you, and to be honest, sobra po akong kinakabahan and until know I`m still convincing myself...

More than a decade, tulad nyo isa rin ako sa batang nakaupo dyn sa baba, waiting for my name to be called to get my diploma and to be announced as graduate. I`m the one who lead the Pledge of Loyalty, and now I`m sharing with the same stage, and perhaps this is a blessing, given the privilege and opportunity to thank all my teachers, kung hnd po ako nagkakamali, lahat sila na-assign na sa ibang elementary school.

To my grade I and II teacher, ma`am Rosit Feratero
Ma`am Sylvia Fereras, my grade III and IV teacher
and to Ma`am Edna Figueras, for my Grade V and VI.
You have a big part of What I am today, Thank you very much.

My warm congratulation, to our dear graduates...I could feel the mixed emotion inside in you. Ang saya sa mukha ng bawat isa sainyo ay hindi maipagkakaila, as well as the excitement to go further. At last, 6 years has been finished, but let me remind you dear young ladies and gentlemen, it`s not yet over.

An equal warm congratulation to the parents and teachers. This is the perfect timing to say our deepest thank you, to them. To your parents for the unconditional love and undying support through all these years. And  to your teachers, for their uncountable perseverance and enthusiasm to teach and inspire you, more than as their profession but taking it as their mission in life.   A very noble work. May God bless you all in return.

Our theme for today is.
Building the Nations Future Leaders Through the K to 12 Basic Education Program(K-12 Basic Education Program-Tungo sa Paghuhubog ng mga Makabagong Lider ng Bansa)

I assumed  that everybody already heard or perhaps knows about this K-12 Basic Education Program. To be honest, I don`t have much knowledge about the technicality for this new curriculum, but I do a little research. Philippines is the last and only country worldwide with 10-year pre university cycle, the 12 years program for basic education, is the standard for recognition of students and or professionals abroad. I assumed that the government is doing this transformation, to enhance the process and quality of education here in the country. For us to be more competitive and skilled not only here locally but abroad, which is really good thing. But most, is to provide quality education that will build quality leaders and good citizens.

For generations, from our ancestors up to this point. We believe how important education is. Gasgas na po ito. Sabi ni Rizal, ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan and Most of our parents, mag-aral ka para makaahon tayo sa kahirapan at yan lng ang tanging mamaipapamana sayo kasi wala tayong lupa at ari-arian. Lahat yan ay totoo at napatunayan na.

Kids, I don`t want to pressure you, pero sa ayaw o sa gusto nyo, you are the future leaders of your generation... ako, sila Kap, sila teacher hindi babalik sa edad nyo para kami, o sila ulit sa susunod na henerasyon. Pwede lng namin bisitahin ang lugar na ito, pero hnd namin maibabalik ang panahon. Kaya as early as your age now, we are preparing you. Sakto lang ang edad nyo, to practice social awareness and social responsibility. Ang pakikipaglaro at pakikipagkaibigan ay parte nun. You play as a team, you win as a team. Pipapayagan tayo makilahok sa mga school activities, sa loob o labas ng campus and you have given a task or a role to play. And from that, you learn to be with people, to be responsible not only for yourselves but also to other people. You learn to show our concern to your group, and from then, to society you belong. And the leader act grows within. Your confidence has been built, Your curiosity, consciousness, and awareness to your surrounding have been more define. I do believe that there is no such a natural born leaders, Leadership is being learned, and leaders has been created thru influences from others.    

Mga magulang, alam ko na gagawin nyo ang lahat, para pag-aralin ang mga bata ito. At alam ko na hindi madali, mahirap, hnd pa man ako magulang, naranasan ko na yan, nag working student ako to finished my Engineering, and I say thank you to Mama dahil sinuportahan nya ang desisyon ko, to take it with my own, kahit alam ko gagawin nya ang lahat para mapagtapos ako. Marami akong tatutunan, magpahalaga at mahalin kung ano meron ako, at higit na yakapain at hawakan ang pangarap ko. Hindi biro ang isipin na enrollment na, o kaya may parject na kailangan ng bubget, my bagong libro na bibilhin at kung anu ano pa, tapos wala si sahod. Alam ko na ung 2 years na dagdag ay mabigat, naiitindihan ko because of the very limited resources that we have. Pero sana po hindi magmula sa atin ang kawalan ng pag-asa para bitiwan ang pangarap ang mga batang ito. Pwede po cguro madelay pero wag kalimutan balikan. Kung sila ang pag-asa at magmamana ng lahat ng meron tayo ngaun, at higit na magpapaulad at magpapayaman sa mga ito,  kailangan tayo nila, para gumabay at umalalay sa kanilang paghahanda sa pag halili at sa pag tanggap sa resposibilidad na iiwan natin sa kanila. Sa ngaun kayo pa ang kapitan ng barko, and this kids are your crews.Train and teach them to be the next captain, show and give them the best influence they can get.

 Gusto ko namnamin ninyo ang saya ng araw na ito. Remember this moment, put it in your heart and mind, for you to looked forward for this day to happened again. Na sa mga susunod na kabanata at maramdaman nyo ang hirap, pagod maisip nyo na sa bawat hirap at pagod nyo magbubunga ito ng higit na saya. I assumed na lahat kayo gusto magtapos ang ng pag-aaral, tama ba ako?... pwede ko bang malaman ang rason kung bakit gusto nyo makapagtapos?... nakakatuwa at nakainspired, na at your age now, ganyan na kalalim ang mga reasons ninyo.. kc ako at your age, ang gusto ko lang nun ay maisuot ang itim na toga.  Given the opportunity to go to school, make the most of it and enjoy. Have a balance and healthy high school life, have friends as much as you can, play your favorite sports, join clubs and organization, and most, be on time in every subject and lesson that you have. Alam ko na hindi madali maging studyante, mahirap mag-aral, mahirap intindihin ang numbers na may kasamang letters, laging nawawala si X and Y,...pero kaya, ang mahalaga `wag kang ibibitiw at susuko. Isang malungkot na katutuhanan we are living in society, that we need to comply with stardards. "The preferably", "must be" and etc. Pero magagawan mo ng paraan nyan para higitan ang standard na nyan. Dahil naniniwala ako ikaw bata, hindi nasusukat ang kakayahan mo bilang tao para gumawa ng isang makabuluhang bagay, sa kung saan ka nag-tapos, ano ang grades mo at kung ilan beses mo inulit ang mga subjects mo. Naging outstanding student ako, consistent honor student, scholar and also remedial baby and take two student. Bumagsak at take two ako sa Machine design major subject sa Mechanical, pero un ngaun ang trabaho ko, research and development, Design Group. Also, mag-aral kayo ng mabuti at taposin ninyo, hindi lang para sa matataas na sahod at malaking kita, but to learn and gain knowledge and intellect, to improve yourself to be better person, good citizen, and to have a fulfilled and happy life. Tandaan ntin, hindi lahat ng mataas ang sahod masaya. Dahil ang kakayahan mo at ang halaga mo bilang tao ay higit na mas mataas kaysa numero nakalagay sa magiging payslip mo.

Hindi ko na po pahahabain pa, Graduates, again congratulations,  I officially welcome you to your high school life. Good luck as you take off. Enjoy make the most of it. Be the best that you can be and make your own history.

Dios marhay na hapon... Salamatonon po :)

Eleven graduates, very promising future leaders! Kudos mga bata!!!

Inspired by NATURE

World of design in manufacturing and architectural has evolved far enough. Change of technology has a vivid role in the development in  response to the change of time. Early years of development, costumers is the one determining what to change and what to be design, but recently twist as been define in redesigning is not the clients that rules... but WE ( allow me I include myself ... ^_~)  Design Engineering fueling the change.
I`m lucky, I had the opportunity to attend the seminar workshop "PRODUCT DESIGN INSPIRED BY NATURE" organized by Vector Data held yesterday at Discovery Suites Hotel, Ortigas. Very informative and inspiring. Doing masterpiece out of what is available in nature. True, that there is nothing much appropriate to use as inspiration than nature in creating things much useful, where nature provides everything. Especially the biological forms, which already proven for being highly efficient and functional, and of course all of its unique characteristics that makes it more interesting. A spy plane inspired from bats and a car from a jaguar are just two examples how nature works in designs.

Aside from the inspirations that nature could give, of course we need also the best tools to make all things possible and visible before in our very naked eyes. Altair: Innovation and Intelligence is one of the top software provided for product design and simulation, they had mark a very dramatic change with Optimization that they have. Making the product better, lightweight, less costly and faster but not sacrificing the quality and efficiency.
Another day of learning and gain knowledge and of course my tummy is full of yummy foods :)
