What can you see from this picture?














or from these one?


Perhaps you come up to think in your mind about many stuff, predicting from what you have seen, and the fact is that we everybody are in a way curios, perhaps too curious about something that, we can be callled "chismosos." The thing is that looking through any appearence is hard to not be curious, or a chismoso of what is happening.

Sometimes we have to be careful of what we see, for it can makes us ends  like this folk:

BEING PART OF BAYAN COMMUNITY

WHAT IS BAYAN? Well it is to me is a way to express our self from the hearth towards Filipino American Society.





WHAT IS BAYAN? Bayan To me is a way to express my self from the hearth towards Filipino American Society.  Being part of this community taught me so much about my own life as the same time I got to know my now many Filipino Barkadas  an amazing two wonderful class. The beginning of this great time in my linked class at South Western College was a little confused, thinking that I could be confused to be a Filipino, which I was totally wrong; however, I could think that I could have one ancestor that can give my grandmother, mom, may be I a Filipino look. Being part of Personal Development class, directed or instructed by Maria Abuan, who is also a Nice and beautiful counselor at SWC, has really caught my attention at this edge of the semester as in October the thirty of two thousand and twelve, for amazingly my three quarter of my education life has been influenced by four Filipino Americans Barkadas since I started High School.



I had a great time at Hilltop High School with my Counselor, Nancy Yamada. Who directed my classes schedules, in order to me to approach to my fist in mind major as a Architect; however, my mind was honestly defocused for the reason that in mind there was a thinking of making great money, Idea that later on I will let you know how I changed my mind.  After my freshmen year in High school, I had a new teacher called Alden Turiano, who have formed my second Filipino Barkada. Mr. Turiano when I first met him, he just began his career no so long time age, he was about 24 years old. Some change took place through the English program I was rolled in called, ELD which means English Learners Development. Due to some certain change in the program, we had a teacher change, so Mr. T had to teach a different class, although he seemed excited of being our teacher. this change took all my sophomore year. Just when I started my Jr year in high school, I had that privilege of being taught by a great Master, I can tell, because with Mr. Turiano, I’d learned not just English, but also I have learned to expose a quote presentation, which was an exercise to explain the meaning of it. Furthermore, Alden Turiano, prepared me and many of my classmates to an Interview, and in addition to develop a Resumé, which is a formal sheet with my personal Information with an objective, plus any skills, with job experiences. i learned to dress properly prior to attend an interview. That was just the beginning of my self being develop by this awesomest Filipinos Barkadas.

Six years later, now in time I can tell the experience I am taking with me home and to the next level in my college continuing education.  To be a part of this Bayan community in college, really takes my heart in place. Even though I have to work with my current job as floor polisher in an overnight shift, and part of a church community Victory Outreach, and now at Southwestern College, I am being grateful with my Instructors, who are two great folks, Professors Aronson, and Maria Abuan, really are helping me and many of my classmates, to be freely involved with each other.  They are honestly developing us as humans, by letting us know them, and helping us to get to know ourselves even more from what we know.  Through history I could learned what my home country and Filipinos’ Country’ was related to the Spain colonisation. this gave me a knowledge of how related we are, in the way of many names and words that we are sharing like in food. In fact my personal development, has gone into my self, my identity, gone into the real Me. Now I understand through all the learning community, that the focus cannot be money that a career represents, yes money is good, but the importance of our satisfaction to get the good feeling of what we  like to do is better. Thats is the one self we all should approach to, to obtain the total satisfaction from ourselves.

I am proud to be part of Bayan Community :)

The Importance of Reading


MEATING AN AUTHOR OF A BOOK CAN MAKE READLESS PERSONS LIKE ME, TO  READ!!


Having a personal experience with an author of a book can wake up an interest to read from their book and some of the reasons can be because, we must think reading is boring, or sometimes we consider ourselves  weak or lazy readers that we prefer someone else to read for us. However, who is going to be there to read to as on all times?


I believe reading is important to the learning, as a matter of fact my grand mother eventhough she didn't had a great school preparation, or that she didn't went to high school and not even finished elementary school, she knows lots of information just by reading such as healingh preceedures, cooking, history, science, foreign cultures, and all of this just by reading books. My grand mother is an actual active reader, as a consecuence that she has an intellingence that  I believe reading books has made her be. She has gromn plants by following examples in reading, also in cooking tips. She will not forget were she leaves stuff. The richness of reading builts the knowledge  of a person in life. I think reading has power in life.

Harry Potter Hardcover Boxed Set, Books 1-7
Sometimes I can't feel or tell why many good readers feels about reading a lecture, or a book. When I use to see people reading huge books like the harry potter book. I just don't know how much time I could spent trying to read the hole book. Recently as I have experienced a couple of book presentations, my mind showed up  an interest on the lecture to the poin of acquire both books I had read in the book "Filipinos in San Diego," which is about history of the first colonists or migrants in the State of California. When this book was presented I just wanted to have the money avaliable to purchase it right away to have a special signature from the authors.

Not long time after, I had an other experience with Ella deCastro's books presentation. As I was hearing from her reading, as a result I just found out how her book is so funny in the way she writes and defines every moment in the lecture. I felt so good and with a great priviledge to hear from the author's reading, for Ella deCastro is the author, I've noticed how easy she could disfocuse her eyes from the book and just continuing the narration of the story, that was to me a surprise, "well she knows what she wrote then I said."  A four or five year book preparation work, that is just the best book to read as it is not just any book, it is a book detailed to collect and remember and re-read it in the elderly future to our teenagers.

Looking at myself, I have noticed that I do like reading, however; it must be read by someone first so I can feel the desire to read more, or know more. Most of the time i could lose the focuse on the reding, when i get to other activities. But i know If i want to succeed I must read because
Reading is Important!!
