Bwahahaha. Sinabihan din ako ng tatay ko na wag akong galit sa mundo. LOL. Lokohan nga naming magkakaibigan, naku bigyan mo ng US Visa yang mga tibak. Aalis kaagad sa Pinas yan. Hehe.

Kaya galit sa US, na-deny kasi ang Visa.

Dito kasi sa pinas asawahan kasi ng asawahan....Tapos mag-aanak pa. Hindi ko talaga magets pag dating ng 25years old bakit ang tanong kelan ka mag-aasawa. Pag 30years old bakit wala ka pa asawa.

Sabi nga nung tindera sa tindahin: "Dati nung single pa ako pag tapos work punta lang ako jollibee kakain magpapakasarap pero ngayon may anak ang problema ko kung magkano ipapadala sa anak ko."

Married life is seriously not a bed of roses, no matter how much you try to mask it all.

Sorry boys, tamad magtype (kakaLASIK surgery ko lang at the morning) but here are some additional points I was arguing sa FB:

Argument 1: ang prob dun is yung process sa UP diliman hindi ganun. kaya nga na labeled ang UP manila as para sa mga posh

I don't see why people complicate the scenario. Mabilis lang naman yun solution eh: take a leave of absence, work, pay your unpaid tuition, work some more, pay your future tuition. Whether the girl's having family financial problems or her own academic problems, this solution is far more logical than simply throwing in the towel.

Argument 2: I can't take this seriously from someone who was never poor. The mind is more powerful than you can ever think. This is someone intelligent enough to know that there are other ways to earn more, but when something snaps, there's no going back. She's not crazy per se, but her limits have definitely reached its limit. Some may be able to bounce back from a huge crisis, some may not.

Truth be told, suicide is a gray area. Some supports it, some are against it. But let's face it, the kid isn't even suffering from extreme problems. It's not like her dad raped somebody and got branded a pedophile and it's not like she got convicted for killing another person. There are people there who scammed people, tarnished their reputation, then took a pill - that I can understand if the entire thing you worked for 40 years gone! poof! but in this case the kid's 16 years old.

In other words, this is like a minor speed hump on her life and she calls it quits with the result being the whole nation raves about the loss of a "promising bright student". If that's the limits of a so-called "Scholar ng Bayan", I will truly be sad on the state of our education. Life will always throw bricks in your face. That's the reality of it. If you can't take it, you don't deserve anything.

The correlation between wealth and happiness is over-rated. Truthfully, wealth can buy a bit of happiness as wealth brings in other benefits such as being financially independent. But if wealth truly is a measure of absolute happiness, then if our GDP increases by 7%, everybody on the national level should be more happy. Alas it is not nor are the rich-Saudi nations with ten times more capita per income happier than Filipinos.

Argument 3: OPINION | Dear UP... (A letter from a grown-up, disappointed, loving daughter) - InterAksyon.com

I support a higher GDP allocated to education however I am pointing out that attending a university isn't a need or a must. Going to school while hungry? No money sent from home? This is why I hate the school culture of the Philippines. People think they're privileged to be getting money from their parents after high school.

Wake up please. In the US, the moment you go to college, you start paying out that tuition on your own. Millions of students have student loans and yet none of them get this kind of controversy if somebody decides throws down the towel. Life's unfair? It always has been. I mean, 15 million kids die of hunger annually. How unfair is that?

I've met a lot of people who haven't even considered going to a university or college because of their financial situation and I could say that I can give you at least 80 young people who didn't go to college just by raiding our employee file drawers. You go to where you can afford to go - it's called living within your means. Unsurprisingly, a lot of people don't do it. That's why many are fond of cash advances and why people needs to quit this attitude to be successful.

The government has a mandate to provide affordable post secondary education. Not free ones unless you're part of the more fortunate ones who have a 100% scholarship grant. Sure, the STFAP criteria may be flawed. But I'm not the one who chartered it. But from a 3rd party perspective, there's a huge amount of economics going on if one would be to evaluate the STFAP criteria -- how many scholarships requests do they process annually? how many employees are tasked with screening? how certain are we that the data are verified and authentic? Do we drive up all the way to Bicol to see the "land"?

You should also consider that most scholarships is zero-sum. In other words, if somebody didn't get a 100% scholarship grant, somebody else of equally deserving status would get it. But nobody would find comfort in that. Sasabihin nila "tangina, akin dapat yun scholarship na yan" without much regard for the other party. Most people are downright selfish and I believe everybody knows that. I'm not in a position to say otherwise because it's like the pot calling the kettle black. It's irony.

Affordable... never free

Tapos ito na paborito ko ng status message na madaming nainis :naughty2:

Re: UP Student suicide thanks to tuition problems

And the funny thing about here is that UP Student Regent Cleve Arguelles called the case, "The case of Kristel Tejada was not a suicide. She was killed by the system--a system that refuses to recognize that education is a right, because life is measured in your capacity to pay."

Life is not measured in your capacity to pay. It is measured on your ability to enrich other people's lives while you're still trotting the ground. For simplicity sake, I measure life in terms of productiveness.

Denying that she committed suicide as an "easy way out" reminds me on how politicians bicker and shout sugar coated words. This is why I hate school politics. All they do is shout, rally, and sugarcoat but when a crisis begins, they simply point their fingers at the "system". Lagi nalang yun systema. Tangina, pati mga ibang tao dyan inom, tambay, yosi, tapos mumurahin ang systema kaya wala silang trabaho o pera... o healthcare.

From my point of view, suicide is simply a slap in the face for the years of hard work your parents has invested in you. No amount of sugarcoating can change that.

There are different ways to be educated and sometimes, what you need doesn't come from a proper educational system. People such as Sam Walton has never gotten a formal education and he damn created Wal-Mart which employs more people than 2.2 million people (for reference, the entire Quezon City population is 2.7 million in 2010). So pardon my jab at the UP politics scene but the guy would make a great politician in the future. All talk - no show. That's why I love people like Gokongwei (DLSU) and Manny Pangilinan (ADMU) who actually invests in education by erecting new buildings and funding scholarships -- no talk but all show. Which is better? I think it's pretty obvious.

This year's Philippine Military Academy top cadet had to climb coconut trees to help his father, a tuba gatherer, earn a living.

"The biggest problem for me to face was how I will surpass the inferiority... It is my burden how I will prove to them that [success] it is not about wealth... rather it is all about discipline, intellect, right attitude and faith in God," Cadet First Class Jestony Lanaja said.
