"The greatest achievement one can have, was being able to do what other people think he could not do"

People have this natural mentality of underestimating a person in the aspect of physical and mental capacity.. especially the ones who feel superior to the others in the said field.

Most of the time the persons who become victims of this 'monstrous' judgmental people are the ones who are often quiet and who would prefer to follow than to lead.. who’d prefer to be passive than to be participative.. who'd prefer a time alone than with peers.. they are the ones who within themselves lack a shower of confidence to fill up their so called ‘lacking’ capabilities and/or features.

True enough in each of us lays this monstrous being, we may not even be conscious of its existence but it hides within all of us. At times we may feel superior to others when we have the propensity to become over confident in an issue we assume to have 'more' proficient knowledge to impart than the others. During this moment we have involuntarily trampled upon the confidence of another person within our immediate surrounding. They may be our peer, our classmates, our parents, our siblings *yeah most of the time* and above all ourselves *during moment of conflicting notions*.

But also there sets in the other side of the scenario, wherein there are also cases when we feel so left out, uninformed and the feeling that we 'don’t belong' linger in our heads. This arises when someone makes us feel this, voluntarily or involuntarily. We feel as if we are worthless beings wallowing in self pity because others are stepping on the littlest or gigantic part of our self confidence or should I say EGO and PRIDE.

Still no matter what instance we get engrossed to we should always bear in mind that each on of has their own GOD given talent that is only unique to each one of us.. throughout the moment that we feel superior to others in terms of knowledge and physical characteristics, we must always bear in mind that being proud about it is natural and of course it is acknowledged by people but being ‘overly proud’ would always result to irritable reactions.

When there comes a time when we feel inferior to others, this is no reason to brood over. Since it is just normal.. as they say that no man is perfect we should at least be able to recognize that no matter how super genius we think we are, there would still come a moment in our life to which we would feel unknowledgeable of and the need for someone’s help should be kindly entertained.

We are humans, which makes us not perfect beings, we would always need others in one way or another, to complement what we in ourselves lack and to aide us in being the person we wanted to be.

I just realized I’ve drawn away from my main topic here.,,ehehehe! What im trying to point out here, is that when people think that you are incapable of accomplishing such task,, try to think of them as impediments in your obstacle course to complete your task. They may be there to obstruct your focus towards your goal but still if you have all the perseverance and determination to achieve your goal,, no matter how hard they try to push you off track,, you would be sturdy enough not to let them to. Cause you know in yourself that you need to reach the finish line to be able to prove yourself and the others what you’re made of.. and that my friends is what you call---- confidence!

*Gattaca*
Im sorry if I misspelled it,eheheh! I forgot the spelling, kindly correct me!:) Sir Baccay made us watch this film,, at first I thought the title was some kind of outer space thingy.. more like of aliens gurgling some goo and space crafts being launch back and fort to save the human race.. but eventually I was wrong..

The movie was all about Jerome Morrowe/ Vincent, who was so determined to achieve his goal to fly to the outer space and to fulfill his dreams to visit planets. But then at the movie when a child was born their blood were tested as to determine what are the diseases of a child and up to what year would the child be expected to live.

Vincent being known to have this weak body was treated as if he can’t do anything.. not only in his family but also in their society.. for if one is identified to be weak he would be discriminated not to attain jobs of 'superior/strong' people.

And it so happened that vincent being inclined to the space was unfortunate enough to be one of the discriminated in the society through their genetic composition.

To cut the story short, he took the risk of having to change his identity by 'borrowing' an identity from a person who has the perfect qualification to fulfill vincent’s dream but unluckily he was crippled. Its like they shared their identities.. and he became Jerome Morrowe.

There came a time when his clandestine act was almost discovered when a director in gattaca was killed and his 'original' dna was found within the crime scene making his 'old self' be identified. And as an 'invalid' he was not expected to be in the vicinity of gattaca,..

And to sum it all up.. he was able to be proven uninvolved with the killing and was able to fulfill his dream of going to the outer space. But when he was again dna tested when he's about to board the space craft,, the doctor was able to discover that he was an invalid,, and being considerate enough cause his son idolizes vincent who was an also an invalid he permitted him to board the ship keeping within himself the true identity of vincent..

The movie was really inspiring,, it made me realize that no amount of machine can dictate what a person can do in his life,, what achievements he can fulfill in spite of his imperfection.. and to up to what extent would a man be able to conquer just to fulfill his dream.. for it is only us,, who are capable of driving the wheels of our lives to the path we choose to take.. :)


What happened?!
Actually our theo class was also occupied by the movie since we've been inclined to finish the movie due to its interesting story.. but about 20 min. before the time Sir agui went to class to listen to one report about Hiya..

This is one trait of filipinos which I often get goaded to,, cause it is often manifested in unlikely times when it is needed and not needed..

Shame in english is not really something negative we Filipinos tend to put it in wrong scenarios we have this tendency to become ashamed of something which we shouldn’t feel ashamed of.. and feel not ashamed of things we should be ashamed off..

Just like what Sir Agui emphasized,, youth nowadays are more likely to do this stuffs..tsk.. too bad!

During the Bio class the group report of the Respiratory system presented their report. It was pretty boring..ehehe! sorry guys,, Im just being true here.. cause it was so long and I think its complicated.. I was only empowered when it was scent's turn to report..

She really never fails to make the class smile with the way she talks and her gestures..eehehe!:)

When their report was done.. Sir Olivar told them that somehow their report was wrong..a and he also gave a tip to the upcoming reporters to focus mainly on the basics..

Hmm.. Im starting to wonder how does he define basic?! Knowing his complex way of teaching stuffs,, I dont think he would be satisfied with a very basic focused report.. for he might probably bombard your group with questions.. well as if that’s something new right?!

But there is this quotable quote that he said "The reporters should know that the attention span of your classmates was just like that of a mosquito.."
yeah!! I agree! I myself was doing a lot of stuffs when they are reporting.. I know that its bad and so inconsiderate of me.. cause I won't want not to be listened to when my turn to report occurs.. but its just that.. well.. its hard to focus! Right guys??!! Does anyone out there agree with me?! Hehehe!=p

An exam?! You're sure mam?!
Our second to the last PE came.. huhuhuhu! Too bad for us ponkanbabes cause we're starting to love the game.. and we are all surprised when Mam De Torres announced at the beginning of the class that she's gonna hold a base running exam.. and lucky us! Our group came first!ahahaha!

Actaully I think I never took the exam seriously,, who would ryt?! I was laughing at my groupmates while they were running cause I was on the last part of the roster.. and when my turn came.. i was laughing while running.. and I just don't know why!hahaha! they say i looked silly..wahahah! who cares about it anyways!hihihihi!

After the running exam,, we continued the uncompleted game we had last time against the yellow team.. I guess in that game we won!yippee!!

Then Mam assigned us to play against the lavender team.. whoah! their team was really good.. though I noticed that each one of us was able to contribute to the points of the team.. still our efforts are not enough to meet their great skills! Unexpectedly I never felt bad even though we lost against their team.. maybe because I myself saw how good they really are.. and how worthy opponent we also are!

Before the meeting ended Mam got mad to the blue team!hahaah! schadenfreude!eheheh! too bad madie and santy we're umpires of their game that’s why they also got included with mam’s ranting! nevertheless I think their not at fault with the game’s delay..

*exhausted mode*
