To Work or Not To Work- A Student’s Dilemma!

Although kids in developed world countries don’t have to work to earn their daily bread, it is sometimes advisable to gain some casual work experience in early years. If you ever see a kid peddling down to do his paper-rounds in hurry, just imagine the satisfaction after each day’s shift. Let’s outline some of the reasons why kids should work if they can-

• Gain Early Insights About the Professional World- Kids can learn how professionals operate. Most kids are only ever exposed to their family or school environment, but working atmosphere is very different from them.
• Pick Up new Skills- When you work as a kid you’ll surely pick up lots of new skills. You will learn to shoulder responsibility, you’ll know how to stick to deadlines, and you’ll learn to listen and communicate better.
• Identify Your Strengths And Weakness- This is great way to realise your strength areas. For example, if you work and excel in handy DIY kind of jobs you can safely figure out that you’ll be good with mechanical jobs.
• Learn the basics of finance- Doesn’t matter how much pocket-money you get to handle from your parents, working wages will teach you the absolute basics of money management. Best of you’ll learn to understand the value of money.

So go out and do whatever you can in your spare time. After all life’s lessons are gained from doing stuff not just watching someone else do it.

'Why do we shout in anger?'

'Why do we shout in anger?' A saint asked his disciples,
'Why do we shout in anger?
Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?'

His disciples thought for a while,
one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout for that.'

'But, why do you shout when the other person is just next to you?' asked the saint.
'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice?

Why do you shout at a person when you're angry?'
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint.

Finally he explained,
'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot.
To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other.
The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.'

Then the saint asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love?
They don't shout at each other but talk softly, why?
Because their hearts are very close.

The distance between them is very small...'
The saint continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens?
They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love.
Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all.

That is how close two people are when they love each other.

'MORAL' said the saint:
'When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other more, or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return!'

Philippine COMELEC should have warn every FILIPINO that election will be longer.

I had no idea that the "First Automated" Philippine national election would take this TOOOO LONGGG! I thought it will be more easier, faster and efficient if the election will be automated. But I was wrong! You can also call it Automated "counting" ONLY, because all the other processes, like verification of voters, queuing to get your ballot, still follows the traditional way of voting.

COMELEC should have warned every voter to bring packed LUNCH and DINNER instead of bottled of water with a biscuit as a result of the automation, in which they cluster the three hundred thousand plus (300,000+) precincts into seventy thousand plus (70,000+) precincts. As a result, long lines of voters waited patiently outside their precincts with 500+ more voters. The COMELEC should have anticipated this problem and re-clustered those precincts having many registered voters. Also they should have simulated the election and calculated the time it would take 50 million voters and know the exact needed CLUSTERED precinct and PCOS (Precinct count optical scan) machines.

In most cases, precincts with more than 500 voters, only around 120 had voted in the first 6 hours of the 12-hour election schedule. COMELEC should act immediately to resolve these issues.
Also, we must watched out and monitor the transmission and counting of votes. Be vigilant and guard your votes, your future.

Melai Cantiveros: A Fun, Fearless Female Awardee for 2010

PBB's Melai Cantiveros: The Confident Comedienne

A Fun, Fearless Female Awardee for 2010, PBB Double Up's Big Winner talks about the highs and lows of showbiz with her signature sense of humor.
Posted on May 4, 2010 10:00 am
by Regina Belmonte, Cosmo.ph Staff Writer


Pinoy Big Brother Double Up's final housemate, Melissa "Melai" Cantiveros, is famous for her 100-words-a-minute motormouth, infectious sense of humor, and no-nonsense attitude about her newfound fame and how fleeting it could be. Cosmo talks to the newly minted star and Fun, Fearless Female 2010 awardee about her new showbiz life and everything she loves and hates about it.


Ano 'yung feeling ng kilala ka na sa buong Pilipinas?

Ang feeling? Sobrang happy talaga ang feeling na sa buong Pilipinas kilala ako, kahit pumunta ako sa Baguio, kahit saan ako pumunta, kahit pumunta ako sa Batangas, parang, "Hoy, Melai!" 'Di ko in-expect na kilala ako. Parang ang tagal naming nagsama ng mga tao. Sobrang happy ng feeling at sobrang overwhelming.


What do you like most about being famous? Ano ang pinakagusto mo?

Ang gusto ko? Ang pinakagusto ko sa pagiging sikat is love na love ka ng lahat ng tao. Gusto ka nilang naka-smile na lang. Parang gusto nilang ibigay lahat sa 'yo. Ang mahirap talaga sa pagiging sikat is 'yung hindi ka na makapaglakad sa kalsada nang maayos. Sana makapaglakad ka naman kahit isang beses lang na walang "WAAAAH!" gumaganon. Doon ka na sa kwarto mo 'pag gusto mo ng tahimik.


You now have your own shows, right? What's the most difficult thing about being an artista?

Ang pinakamahirap sa akin 'yung acting. 'Yung mag-acting, mag-drama. Dapat daw natural. E hindi natural sa 'kin. Sobrang nahirapan ako mag-drama!


Is showbiz really what you've always wanted in life?

Showbiz? Hindi ko talaga gusto ang showbiz. Siguro dadaaan lang 'yan sa isip ko, na gusto ko talaga maging showbiz, pero ang gusto ko talaga is teacher. 50% teacher, 50% showbiz na lang, para patas ang laban, 'di ba?


Kung sakaling magsawa ka sa showbiz, do you still want to be a teacher?

Gusto kong ipagpatuloy ang pag-aaral, para kung magkaroon ako ng anak, hindi "Uy, si Mommy, walang pinag-graduweytan!" 'di ba? Gusto ko magtapos. 'Pag malaos na, mag-aaral na ako.


You're known for being frank. Where did you get that aspect of your personality?

Hindi ko alam. Ganyan po talaga kami sa bahay. Hindi naman siguro prangka, hindi ko sinasabi kung may kulangot ang kausap ko! (laughs)


You said you are part of a women's group in Gen San. What's your advocacy?

Advocacy? 'Yung kabataan, instead na mag-drugs o mag-rugby, mag-sports na lang tayo. Basketball. Walang masama sa
sports, healthy pa tayo. At saka doon din kami sa aming lugar nag-focus. Pagkatapos sa lugar namin, doon naman sa kabilang barangay

How do you think you serve as an inspiration for women and Pinoys in general?.

Siguro inspirasyon nila ako dahil galing ako sa Gen San. Joke lang! Hindi naman ako masyadong maganda pero dumating ako sa point na ganito. Parang, wow! Ang ganda-ganda ko na ngayon! Kaya siguro na-inspire sila sa 'kin kasi pwede rin sila gumanda. Okay? Pwede rin kayo gumanda katulad ko. Mag-makeup lang kayo!
