People you should care for

August 22, 2009

Humans most often depend on each other at least in some case or event. Wise man or knowing man in Latin word, like most higher primates we are social by nature and we can adept to almost anything we encounter, we can adjust, apply, interact, exchange ideas as well our feelings.

But the way humans evolved has changed, we easily get familiar to almost anything even the new ones that we first encountered. Again as my number one guideline do not write to impress instead make use of it as a tool to help you develop yourself and know your boundaries so please don’t fall out. ‘Hey, I’m trying to be serious for at least here.

There are different types of person you will meet in your lifetime, some will just pop up then just go away, there are also some who will just remember you if they either need your help or just because it’s your special day. Well, there is only few people I know that I can count in my bare fingers who really do care whoever you are and what kind of a person you are to them. It’s true and I’m believing it that in this new world we should not easily give our trust every time we meet a new person.

Life is vague, life is just like burger thing, just this minute you are chewing a burger and in a moment later you’re a dead meat. Sounds familiar? actually I posted it as a quote in my Facebook feed a weak ago.

Choosing the people you should trust is quite tough, some may pretend just to be close to you for that you can be useful to them. You’ll never know when somebody is just using you to cover up their a**, trying to be friend with you when in fact they don’t really feel the atmosphere of friendship. To give you some nonetheless-people avoiding tips, here are two things I came up that could be useful for at least some case.

1. As a modern human living in mean world don’t give up your trust easily, especially to us guys. Never be fooled whatever sweet charming words you would hear from us. It’s just a word and it can not just easily prove to be true.
2. When someone approach you or anyone asking for your help just give them a try but never do it all again when he/she asked you the second time. You can easily see in a person if they are just trying to stick to you because they need your help. Observe them, usually they pleaded you so much then just disappears after they got want they need.

And to give back love to those person who are truly loyal whenever your day rained with problems or your day got brighten up. I think it is best to thank them a lot for being there all the time you needed them most and occasions they we’re there even if you don’t really need them. Those persons whom you call your friends, family, or special someone who always sticks at your side even if you encounter the darkest wall of life. Having them around can not be much more happier than having a mole at your back.

To give the love back there are just three things you should be all the time at least some of them.

1. Be useful
2. Be specific
3. Be nice

Being useful – I believe each of us is here to grow by learning how to share our unique gifts in a way that helps others. Even if you don’t believe that, one cold, hard look at the way people are wired tells you that when you can feed people’s core preservation self interests by being profoundly useful, they will love you. A Lot, probably. But you also get a charge out of it because doing it makes you feel better.

Being specific – As any actor will tell you, each of us can play anything. Only we can’t probably, and even if we can, presenting ourselves that way to the people looking to hire someone to fulfill a specific need is not useful. Actors do better when they present themselves as a type at least, initially. It helps casting directors and producers know where to put you now, or to file you in their mental filing cabinets for easy future retrieval.

Similarly, there is no such thing as a business that can solve every problem or a blog about everything staying within your areas of expertise when giving advice. Not to mention keep your head from exploding.

Being nice – nobody likes a meanie, it’s all too easy for things to get misinterpreted. Be ready careful about tone, and watch out for spreading mean gossip or even venting, unless you’re sure you’re in a secure space. Also, give what you have to offer with a kindly spirit. Consider finding a nice way of saying no.

.

We should not just be useful, specific and nice to payback all the great things our friends and families gave us during rough times. Consider giving them big show of gratitude, in that way they will feel that they are also important for all the things they had contributed for your good. Give them a motivation to keep going on, for sure they feel will that they are very important and you really care for them.

Blog ’till you drop

August 20, 2009

There are so many blogging platform we can use to share our thoughts, ideas or whatever you’d like to call it. Most of them are free and some came pre-bundled when you sign up at facebook, friendster, myspace, multiply and other social networking sites. But there are only few good services that can really provide you an ultimate blogging experience.

Ever wonder why friendster doesn’t have a friendly text editor and why facebook’s notes is not so friendly and some of them doesn’t even come with a built in spell checker and dictionary where supposedly should be included if we look in the web standards, well that’s because it is only considered as their side service which means that they(developers) doesn’t care or look on the end user expectation and comfortability as well experience while using the service which they offer.

To let you know there are so many blogging platform and services which offers more features than the traditional one you are stuck at. For this matter WordPress should be first introduced for its superb features, capabilities and the way it interact to the bloggers like us. There are three flavor of wordpress namely; WordPress.org where you can download the complete platform and install it on your own web hosting account, WordPressMu the multi-user equivalent of WordPress.org which allows you to host several blogs – multi user. And lastly WordPress.com offering free blogging account giving you the most features you need most.

Blogger or Blogspot should definitely be included in your list because of its simplicity and lightweight that you can truly access even if you’re in a limited bandwidth. It offers simple but powerful features like the ability to connect several blogs onto it.

Tumblr allows you to post not just text, but as well other media types with ease. It even come with the ability to repost all your latest blog post to twitter and other social networking sites. It comes with simplicity in design.

Having a dedicated blogging blogging platform can save you a lot of headaches specially if you’re a serious blogger with a hundreds of reader. Most of the Platform had the following features;

1. Your own domain-sub domain (eg. aronjay.com pointed to aronjay.wordpress.com or simply just aronjay.wordpress.com)

2. Rich text editor, dictionary and spell checker

3. Pre-bundled services like the ability to show your post in other sites (eg. facebook connect, google reader)

4. Live post preview, Save drafts, Scheduled posts

5. Comments reader, Tag reader(manage your tags), Polls, Ratings

6. Blogger directory, Dashboard, Fast responsive blog

7. Categories, Media, Links

8. Subscriptions (connect with other bloggers and have their latest post right ahead in your dashboard)

9. Chose from hundred of themes, Add users (two or more writers in one blog)

10. Customize site name, Privacy(who can view your blog), Statistics

Much more awaits and added every time a platform releases a new version. So if I we’re you, I mean if you are really interested on blogging and you really love to share it to the whole world and be known then its really the right time to leave your traditional, ancient pre-added blogging platform you are using.

I’m not a total hater of pre-added services I just don’t usually use them because I know there are better to tools that we can use if we can just be resourceful in everything we do.

P50 school snack per day

August 19, 2009

I came to this idea after reading a blog post at The Cheapskate Blog telling about the conversation of two friends who decided to minimize there daily spending after realizing the fact that there are so many people around the world who live in a one dollar food per day.

And of course many of us couldn’t follow it without rules so here is what they end up.

1. All food consumed each day must total $1 for each of us.
2. We could not accept free food or “donated” food unless it is available for everyone in our area (i.e. foraging, samples in stores, dumpster diving).
3. Any food we planted, we had to pay for.
4. We would do our best to cook a variety of meals; ramen noodles could only be prepared if there is no other way to stay under one dollar. (We had six packages and would buy no more.)
5. Should we decide to have guests over for dinner they must eat from our share; meaning they don’t get to eat their own dollar’s worth of food.

As you can see it’s a real challenge considering that it just started from a conversation which turns to a daily money saving technique. Anyway here’s mine.

1. All school snack consumed every break time should not exceed 50 pesos just for me.
2. I may accept free food but of course it should be from trusted people only, I don’t wanna end up in hospital.
3. I don’t plant.
4. I don’t cook either what I mean is I don’t usually bring prepared snacks, it’s uncomfortable and hard to manage when inside my bag.
5. Hey it’s my food. Buy your own!

Well I just wish I can follow all of them. But usually I don’t eat at school since most school snacks doesn’t meet my budget and if ever there is it’s usually just a burger, flakes, fries and coke float in combination. Anyway it’s not a big problem when I usually had a quick chow before going to school.

To let you know I’m currently trying to save money but up to now I don’t even have a cent on my wallet but I do have a hundred in my secret storage. So I’m going to give this a try and I’ll update you as soon as their are improvements, if there are.



Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just leave me the hell alone. If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

My path is clear, yours is just there waiting for you and don’t even need to work hard for it. I want to point this post to someone who was once a part of my life, someone who I always admire. I always used to look after her just to know if she’s doing okay but for now I will let you go, forget, and turn back and meet my new world.

Remember our high school days? the cream-o? the flowers? valentines and birthdays? We share to each other what he have. It’s a once in a single life time, Two years in just two weeks. How come that after almost two years of no communication, none as nothing at all, you’re still in my head and my heart. I can’t stop comparing you to other girls whom I admire and eventually love. But you are so different, I want to turn it back when I first meet you.

Once we accidentally meet at a PUV, you smiled at me but I just ignored you, how shame. I’m really such a stupid person.

Alumni Portal

March 28, 2009

I’m in a project called ahs web presence project manned by, ahemm.. ‘aron.

For those who are interested (who cares) here’s the preview of the current development of my work.

Features are:

  1. Dynamic home page – home page of the site contains several modules, modules represents all activities of the site.
  2. Facebook Style – I’m not a fan of facebook, but i like the way they represent profile pages, its so clean and very easy to navigate. So, if you’re a facebook user you might see some similarity when the site is up.
  3. Profiles – each members have their own profile, just like on friendster and facebook, the profile contains;
  • wire – where you can post your comments
  • activity stream – its just like an aggreagator it aggregates and collects everything you do in the site.
  • groups tab – your joined groups.
  • friends tab – most probably, your friends.
  • latest photos- your latest photots linked on flickr.
  • youtube videos – yes’ you read it right. i managed to crank up the site and connect it to youtube to fetch your videos, all you need to do is to put your youtube username and your all set.
  • loads more coming!

… will continue next week. :D

Flame on Flower

March 28, 2009

Howdy, the great me is back and now its time to tell something stupid again. After almost a countless month of absence here in my blog i think its time again to write something what i had in my mind.

Well, its not really something that i would write about the things or eveything i want to let others know, because now i will limit those things. You might read some or no things about my love affairs anymore because i’m definitely taking this very serious. And now, i promised to myself that i will always focus on my study and every little thing i do. okay, i think i’ve mentioned that before on my previous blog posts but i’m not sure which one.

Okay, here’s the plan. Run through the hallway from there you can find a cave like window – look through, climb for it then jump. Stupid!~ i will never do that. Weew, i know that was not funny but i’m just trying to entertain my readers “if there’s someone else” at my best.

Flame on flower – forgiveness, pride, honor, friendship… so many angles. First of all i don’t like someone else giving me a flower, that is a big ? for me. okay, its not that i hate flowers or trying to avoid being romantic. Its just that I’m not comfortable and it’s not even nice to see, specially if you’re a girl.

I’m not stoned – i can feel you, I’m just not that sweet anymore. I’m trying to avoid that cause i don’t want to get involved to any relationship for now.

I’m not freak – not totally, just somewhat in the middle.

Not even mad anymore – i already forgive you, its just that i hate the things you said during the open forum, its sounds like i did the most sinful thing when you are talking about the problem.

I’m not selfish – I’m not totally just thinking about myself, for what i feel and what are the things that made me think this way.

Kill Joy – not anymore! you may now fetch me anytime, call me when you want or when you need someone to talk to. I won’t walk away. “just watch your words”

This post doesn’t make any sense. :D

Life Postponed

November 1, 2008

From now on, I might not be able to write again. I’ll be focusing more on my study and every little thing I do. I really need to finish my study as soon the time does not restrict. 

Everything you might read in this blog starting tomorrow are not made by me. It might be different person or another Aron. I really have to say goodbye and goodbye doesn’t mean to an end.

Two Years Ago

October 21, 2008

Simply pretty, this is the word that describes her best. It was a very quiet afternoon when I decided to go with my friend in their house to help her with her computer project. I didn’t know that this is the time that I will meet the girl that I will love and adore. 

The place looks so plain without any vehicles roaming on the street and no bystanders can be seen on every block. I started to ask my friend about his project outline, when somebody suddenly caught our attention. There are three girls waiting for him just in front of their house, they were all still dressed on a school uniform. “Just on time” my friend whispered and told me that those are his group partners and they also need my help. 

When we are inside their house, I started to tackle the things that they need before we start on their project and everyone is so kind and please listening to me.

 

“Eerr.. where am I now? I’m lost in my own story. Lets take it straight because I really forgot the early part and everything you’ve read above are just some part that I still remember”

 

Before I leave them I noticed one of them and I said to myself “Cupid, you really got me hard”. She looks thru brown eyes, her face symbolize the beauty of nature. Maybe one of the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. I started to look her in different views before I finally say good bye to my friend and left for home. While I’m walking home, I said to myself again “Cupid, I think I’m in love and thanks for that”. Starting that day I keep on sending love letter to her everyday to express my feelings for her but using a pen name which is “your secret admirer” – the common one.  

Seconds and minutes had passed in everyday and every night until it  almost reached a one year and she finally answered me. That day she also told me every little thing that she loves about me,  the way I express my love. The thing she never felt before and the words she have never heard at her lifetime. I started to know everything about her, what she likes and what she don’t. The name of her parents, brothers and sisters, and even their birthdays. There were times that I would like to eat with her and take her home, but time was so fast until one day she sent me a letter telling me that its over for what reason that I never knew. 

And me being a dumb shit doesn’t even manage to ask the reason why it ends like that. For almost two weeks of our relationship i’ve never touch her and be with her during break time, take her home after school. Maybe this is the most stupid mistake I’ve ever made. I know I still love her and I still feel her, I want her to be with me and not just to any guy that doesn’t really love what she is. 

After that day, that unforgettable time that still knocking on my mind up to now. I promised to myself that I will back for her someday and I will do all my best to make her feel how much I still love her and how much I’m sorry for the things I haven’t done for her. And do all promises that I told her in every letter I sent to her. I really want to make her happy for the rest of her life and there are no other way but just to show what her world could be with me right at her side. 

I might not give her the greatest thing in this world, the most expensive jewelry that every women loves but I can assure her a lifetime of treasure. A treasure that have no equivalent value, a love of a lifetime. Hope she won’t change. I will keep the word that I told you once “FOREVER”

 

“You are my soul mate, my sweetheart, you are my dream come true, from now until the end of time I give my heart and soul to you” 

In the last 17 years of my life, there have been but few instances that I found myself surrounded by a group of people with the same ideas, talking, laughing, chatting, having a good time with each other. I wish these people could live longer in this world, bond a great memory with each other. I think I’m a loner, doesn’t have enough time to socialize with people whom I like and be friend with persons that have the same idea I had. 

I wish they knew what I’m really are, what are the things I like and dislike. But It’s definitely impossible since every person have their own characteristics and there are really no identical personalities. Most of all I hate when somebody touch my things specially those that I work hard for. I will hate you when you give a promise that you will never do. There were so many things I hate but this are the things that most matters to me. 

When I’m doing something, please don’t even try bothering me or asking something while I’m still on it. I’m not really a true good guy, but I can be. I don’t talk too much since there are really no important things to talk about. I love to travel and took some pictures, but this is too far possible right now since our family is still financially unstable. I love to help so if something you might need might come handy if you would tell me. I know I’m not that handsome guy that most girls prefer, but I would like to inform all women that there is really no perfect handsome, rich, smart, thoughtful, kind, sweet guy out there. There are only one personality in every man. And we being a guy doesn’t really prefer the most beautiful, pretty, smart, talented and kind woman out there because there are no really such a person that have those solid personalities. 

Just a note I do not write this just to impress somebody or be known because all I want is to express myself. Again I think I wrote a lot so it ends here. 

 

Might edit this post in the future.
