I have one thing that’s been always in my mind after having settled in life; having a good job. Of course, so that I may have the money to make it happened. Having an ultimate dream vacation made into reality is a great accomplishment in the life of anybody. To me, my dream vacation is being with my family; my wife, mom and dad, and my sister, in the white beaches of Puerto Galera. I want to surf the waves from end to end with my wife clinging on me and after I want to have my wife on a date. I want that, whenever we fall, I want to laugh with her and help each other get back into surfing. Another is that, I wanted to have coconut juice with them all after doing all the surfs. I want to be replenished by the sweet taste of it to continue doing the others. Also, I wanted to sit with my parents and sister on a Jacuzzi reminiscing the past. I want it like remembering the past, how we were before and that by then, how long we have become. Another is that, I wanted to walk with my father on his brand new automatic-operated wheelchair through the white, fine sand. I want him, even though he can’t really walk with me, to see the real beauty of the outside world. I want him to be happy since he hasn’t been with his family on a vacation before. Also, I want to treat my mother with her favorite sea dishes. I want her to eat what she wants by that time, because I know, she’s been longing for delicious sea foods for years. I wanted to also have my sister a good drink. I like to have a wine of glass with her and sparing time talking while sitting on the sand, looking at the old sun. Lastly, before the day ends, I wanted to have a very delicious dinner with them all celebrating everything that’s been pursued all throughout our lives! Seeing through the night on the lighted white sand reflected by the lights all around and the cold breeze of the sea. 1…2…3… I want my dream vacation as delight as it can be!

Bolg 11: Me Amor
Seeing myself ten years from now, will I be having an ideal job, having helped my family and relatives, and have had pursued my goals. By then, for me to continue completing the rest of my life, it is my time to look for myself a good gift for the things I’ve done; a gift that’s forever, a gift that’s precious, a future wife of mine. I am a person who’s kind of a little complicated to understand, that’s why I have to look for a woman who can understand me whenever I am to be understood and that she won’t leave me in times of my incapability. I want a wife whom I can share my problems with, and even the secrets. Second, my future wife has to be loving and caring, not only to me as her husband but so to our future kids. She has to be good to my children like my mother did to us; supporting and taking the responsibility as a mother. I also wanted to taste the goodness of life, so my future wife has to be a good kisser. Of course, like what they say, whenever you kiss with someone and that you taste the feeling of heaven, he/she could be the one you’ve been waiting for. Anyway, it may be as good a kissing hundreds rather than kissing one whom you can’t love with all your heart. My future wife doesn’t need to be so gorgeous and beautiful. She may be has to be pretty outside, but I am looking forward of her to be having it inside as well. She has to be good to not for the all times, but should know how to handle things well with a good heart. Above all, my future wife has to be that someone whom I can taste, journey, and love with. That, I hope, she could be the one I’ve been searching for and that we’ll be together even until death do us part!

Blog 10: Before, Today and... Communication? (Point by point)
1. Apology
Before: Sensitive
After: Inadequate
2. Values
Before: full of sense
After: senseless
3. Information
Before: concise
After: shortcut
4. Saying “I love you”
Before: not a text template
After: a text template
By the time communication technology has emerged, things made to be enacted were meant to be changed. Before, saying an apology is sensitive. Someone to apologize must be taking some efforts and by then he’s get more possibilities of being forgiven. Not like today, saying sorry seemed to be inadequate. People just usually say sorry through texts and chats which made people disrespect the value of apology. Speaking of values, before, values are full of sense. People really try to make values valuable and that they respect not only it but also the feelings of the people. But it’s different now; values are getting senseless. People are trying to get things through shortcuts and that sometimes, information disseminated is getting hard to understand. Another is that, information before is concise and accurate. People disseminate messages and information through efforts and sweat, and even with their dignity in it. But today, it has changed. People just send information and messages just by one click on their phones and keyboards. Above all, before, people say “I Love You” very sincerely; that they really approach the person they love and make them feel they are. But it has changed a lot. Today, people send those difficult-meant words as text templates and like the feelings not in there anymore. How sad it had been. Is it really meant to be like this? Or just people are getting too tired of showing and letting know they love? Or not…
Blog 10: Communication: Before and Today (One-side-at-a-time)
Before:
1. Apology (sensitive; tact; compassionate)
2. Values (full of sense)
3. Information (concise)
4. I love you (not a text template)
Today:
1. Apology (inadequate)
2. Values (senseless)
3. Information (shortcut)
4. I love you (text template)
Nowadays, communication has been out from its real meaning. Before, saying an apology had been very sensitive, intact and compassionate. Someone to say an apology has to really meet the person whom he/she had sinned. There he/she explains more about the mistakes done and getting a greater possibility of being forgiven. Also, values and feelings are full of sense. When you say some things to someone, it’s very pleasing, more convincing and appealing. Another is that, information before is concise. It is accurate and that it is taken time to be delivered; by then, it is being understood more by most of the people since it is very detailed. Saying “I Love You” has never been easy. It takes time for a person to confess and say to the other whom his/her heart’s beating for that he/she’s in love. However, things have changed. Today, saying an apology is inadequate. Through texting, chatting and other means of communication technologies, saying sorry is done by just one click. Another is that, values have been senseless; well, maybe having sense but it’s just in the “office”. Everything that we wanted to say, do and express is all by shortcuts; even the spelling. Speaking of shortcuts, information is so. Nowadays, information is just very short that it makes the people’s thinking hanging. Lastly, saying the most important and difficult words has been easy. It’s sent, not relayed. And why in a world would someone put that on text templates?

Blog 9: My Family with the Internet
There had been a lot of changes in my family that I can name when the internet came into our lives. For one thing, it keeps me arguing with my sister. Every time she has something to check on her web things, she wants me to get off it and get my work done. Also, my mom tells me to hold the game on. She wants me to help them in preparing the dinner. What in a world? That online game can’t be paused! Another is that, I myself lacked diligence to my studies. I always stay late at night and it has caused me lower grades, black, fat eyes and worse, caused me asthma often. In addition, my father stays too late on the computer than before. He always does his internet things and doesn’t even mind the clock turning. On the other hand, it made each of us knowledgeable about the internet. It made us into joining of social networks connecting with other people. Also, we learn how to manage our time better, now that we have to use the computer once in a while. In addition, it also helps us to live easier. The internet provides what we need; you say meanings, images and even money. Consequently, it had really affected our family, both bad ands good effects.
