I would like to share one of my favorite poems. This one talks about life, personal behavior and maturity, how to be a real "man", and how to be a good someone. I draw a lot of inspiration from this and I hope you will too. Enjoy!

i’m kinda bored so i’ll just type whatever that comes to my mind…i do this quite often and it’s very relaxing…
ahhh…i’m full…[busog kaayo ko...]… when will i ever get started with CFPL, my PL project…and Expert Systems too!…and Software Eng’g too…hayyyyyyy! another late student tsk! tsk! i’m excited about sir elmer’s suggestion for my special problem…finally something i could be really interested…i need to do more research…it should be no problem if it’s something i wanna know…do significant bother and i have a future? i’m not in-love, that’s for sure…ngano mi-enter?! here i go again…can i really trust not-so-significant bother? when will i ever be in a "normal" relationship? whoa…my students are actually quiet, this is a milestone! i hope she’d text again, i’d really like a good text fight and win, of course…what to do with him? i miss my sisters…i need to finish my last gradesheet…oh-oh…i just had my fourth cup of coffee…not good…i think i’m being too dependent on coffee…i wanna talk to someone, but i can’t say it here…i’m so amnesiac! just a moment ago i was thinking of something, now i don’t what it is…ahhh…my head is aching again…i wish i could lie down and sleep right now…i hope payday is tomorrow, i badly need cash…weeeee…so far i’ve had 211 views on my friendster profile…hmmm…another resignation…i’m so sick about the issue that i refuse to comment on anything…what will happen in the next days? i wish i could read people’s minds…i gotta pee…but i’m so lazy to stand and go to the nearest comfort room…i hope bebs gets the scholarship…i’m 95% confident she will…ohhh…i’m having pimples…tsk! tsk! i reeeeeeeaaaaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyyy need to pee…
why would you ask a question that you know the answer of? why would you even ask a question without even thinking if it’s worth asking? if you are given a set of instructions, why would you ask what to do when every detail of what you have to do is clearly stated in the instructions? if you were just told to do something, why is your first instinct to ask it back? [does "get one-fourth sheet of paper" "one-fourth, ma'am?" sound familiar to you?] why would a question, in no time, lead to a conclusion without a word from those concerned? [what i mean is, "ma'am, mag quiz ta karon?" "ha? mag quiz ta?" "ma'am, ngano mag quiz man ta nga wala pa man nag discuss?" and all these were said even before the teacher could say a single word!] for me (as of the moment), the answer to all these questions is simply STUPIDITY. i know i’m being a bit harsh but that’s what i think.
actually, i’m just ranting about some of my students. i just don’t want to be asked "senseless questions" [questions that are released without having passed through the lowest form of mental quality control called common sense *perhaps commons sense is not so common afterall*]. i don’t want to be asked questions that are asked just for the sake of asking.
a word for my students out there: please, if you have to ask anything think about it first. maybe you know the answer all along, you just have to scatch deeper than the surface of your nut a little…and if you are asked to read the instructions carefully, please read the instructions carefully! and most importantly, please listen with you ears, not your mouth…

i got this somewhere and it really made me laugh…the story is not "laughable", it’s how "exact" it is [math is an exact science]…i couldn’t find the name of the author, sorry…
A Math Romance
They integrated from the very point of origin. Her curves were continuous, and even though he was odd, he was a real number. The day their lines first intersected, they became an ordered pair. From then on it was a continuous function. They were both in their prime, so in next to no time they were horizontal and parallel. She was awed by the magnitude of his perpendicular line, and he was amazed by her conical projections. "Bisect my angle!" she postulated each time she reached her local maximum. He taught her the chain rule as she implicitly defined the amplitude of his simple harmonic motion. They underwent multiple rotations of their axes, until at last they reached the vertex, the critical point, their finite limit. After that they slept like logs. Later she found him taking a right-handed limit, that was a problem, because it was an improper form. He meanwhile had realized that she was irrational, not to mention square. She approached her ex, so they diverged.
how am i? it’s difficult to explain but i feel like i’m kinda "at peace". [i'm not dead, ok!] i don’t know, there is just this relaxing, comforting, peaceful (?) feeling despite all the angsts, frustrations, stress(eseses) that i’ve been blogging about, not to mention physical exhaustion leading to near breakdown [which i haven't blogged about yet but we'll come to that later]…i don’t know, it almost feels like bliss…but why? how did that happen? i can’t think of anything significant that happened today…or maybe that’s the point…anywayz, i hope that whatever it is the feeling stays. i could get used to this…
yeah, i’m high right now hehehe coz the seminar this morning turned out so much better than i expected. i just conducted a seminar, yey! i came to school this morning confused, not knowing what to do…or maybe i was just nervous…i thought they won’t listen, i thought i can’t do it, i thought i’d choke…or maybe i was just freaking out…oh well, i didn’t turn out as i thought. i wasn’t good at it, i’m just a novice (in fairness to me, it was my first time) but i did it nonetheless…the sleepless nights that i spent on it definitely paid off. i don’t care if it wasn’t good for those who were there, basta it was good for me…hahay! i’d probably not do it again…tama na to…hehe
