15 - Ecclesiology Formed our Christian Life.

Knowing Ecclesiology is very important to our Christian life. Ecclesiology is the study of Church, it also shows us the importance of the Church to our lives. Ecclesiology tells us the history of where did the Church came from, it also guides us about how we respect the Church and how we truly believe in Church. Ecclesiology teaches us about the verses of a certain someone, it gives us the courage and the will to read and understand the Holy Bible and lastly, it shows greatness to the Kingdom of God.

Ecclesiology, in my own understanding, is a study of how you distinguish the Church as the source of our faith in Christ. We define it in to 2 definitions: Theology - studying the Church in Faith; Science - Church from within. We use this 2 definitions because some Catholics are convinced that all is true even if concrete evidence are not presented and some Catholics believe that all is true if it is shown or let's you visualize it by concrete evidence. We as Catholics needs to evaluate the presence of faith within us, we are the ones who will decide if what kind of faith are we practicing for our life. We study Ecclesiology because there are some hindrances that cause arguments due to some misunderstandings and misconceptions. We as a believer, needs to apprehend that faith from different religion or same religion must be respected because their practices are somehow came from their ancestors that is passed form generations to generations, that's what you called culture. Our ancestors believed that the second coming of Christ will come soon. This second coming of Christ is called "Parousia". This belief has been passed for generations and until today, our current generation is still waiting for it. Some people are scared for this event and others think that this is the chance to see the true God and the creator of all things. In my opinion, this event will really happen because God created us to believe in him and this is just a circle of life: we are born, we live, and we die in the hands of God.

Never forget that this is the study of our faith, it professes our knowledge with the presences of our real faith to Christ. Ecclesiology, for me, is the best blog I published because it is the center of my belief about myself and my belief to God.

14 - Mortality: The Growth and Loss of Lives.

Readers! Be Attentive! I need you to read my blog. Today my blog would tell about the cycle of our life and how to live your life to the fullest while living in a limited time. As of now, everyone in this world are afraid of dying and myself too is afraid of dying.

Many people would think that death is just a bridge to stop all the worries, pain, and sufferings. Death is a experience that anyone or anything can also experience, but you still have to wait for that time to come. A single death means a new life or beginning that needs to be harvested and cherished, and it is called birth. Birth means something was renewed or something was created to do some obligations and make some changes in the assigned life. Birth is the most awaited event in a personal life. Birth is also the most frustrating event because no one could predict if it will be successful or not. Immortality is the most wanted thing for an individual who doesn't want to give an end to their lives. Immortality is really an excellent way to do something, that you really want, forever and ever without an ending. In my own opinion, I don't want immortality because immortality gives me an essence of being selfish or being a greedy person because, in my opinion again, death is a beginning of a new and holy life. This new life might do better things than the things I did in my life.

Remember that while your still alive, do beneficial things in your life and become a LEGEND in small things and in your own knowledge and personal initiative.

13 - Life as Garbage or Life as Instrument?

Good day readers! I will tell you my perspectives about the person named Sammy and how he evaluate himself as part of the current society, if he's really an important individual in our growing economy or just a person living in the happiness of others. By the way, that Sammy is me for your information and I strongly agree that I am important, but let us first elaborate why I chose this topic. I thought of this title because I want to evaluate myself if I'm just a rock in the community that doesn't do anything or am I a super hero, like superman, who is the helper and the savior of the society.

This title can also be used to other individual that are still confused if their just nothing or are they the ones who participated in forming our current state. Evaluating like this is very easy like counting 1,2,3, you just do thoughtful deeds everyday, be considerate to others, and always think positive. Society is like your home, full of love and happiness. It shapes your personality, like when you are irresponsible then the shape of the society is irresponsible too or when your new in the society and this society and this society contains friendly members, then this society will shape you to become friendly. As they say, society - people in general thought of as living together in organized communities with shared laws, traditions, and values. In my understanding about society is that, it is a group of people living together with a unique bond with each other, very simple right, but this simplicity means a lot to me. Knowing that society will change and form your personality, you should always practice and pray on how will you become a part of the family. Being a garbage in the society with nothing to do is strictly prohibited, and being instrument in the society in doing all that the can toe become part of the family is strictly needed.

Remember that all members in the society are not garbage because all of us has unique ability to improve the society's status and we form the society ourselves and without us, society can never be called society.

12 - Remembering My High School Life.

Hello Readers! Today I will share to you my own feelings, through blogging, for my batch mates at my previous school. This is my past emotion and I have now accepted that I am now a college student not a mere high school student, so try not to cry while reading my post about my beloved high school me.

Goodbye! Is the only thing I can sing to my fellow graduating batch mates that still can't face the fact that I and them are graduating sooner or later. I know some of us doesn't like to graduate because they are not mentally and emotionally ready for this because some can't or won't let their friends apart from each other and the memories that are found in our minds are our Band-Aid in closing that wound inside our heart while singing goodbye to our classmates. Yippee! Is the only word that our music teacher would say to his students that he dislike, but this hatred has inspired us to become a person that we didn't think we would become. I honor my educators that gave me the will to become a person that I want to be, I thank them for all their teachings that gave me and my batch mates a healthy knowledge and the force to keep us going for everyday life and I also thank them for their presence that provide me comfort and joy until my last day in school. I remember the time when I first saw all my teachers, I felt relieved and excitement because I saw how generous my teachers are and they showed me the happiness in their smiles and a warm goodbye to me, and this memory and this feeling won't be gone. My classmates are like notes in a music sheet because without them, the song will not be completed and the purpose of this song had vanished without their participation. "Exciting to say, graduation is near, but the moments left, will become memories". This is my created motto that will help me attain my hopes and dreams in life as I go to college.

Remember that high school graduation is an important event and a stepping stone towards our desired dreams in life. I know that graduating from the institution that you loved could be very sad because your time in staying in that school has come to an end. I know that to some, this is a normal goodbye post, but to me this means everything. Everything I felt, everything I discovered, and everything that I miss. I promise to myself that I will not emotionally post this, but looked what happen. As I write this post I still remember my previous school, my friends, and my classmates that shaped me to the person that I am today. Hope you enjoyed my post.

11 - Businessman that I Salute for Life.

A Great day for all readers! Today I will elaborate 4 Filipino businessman that are successful in terms of obviously, business. This individuals started in a small dream then after that, they did what they could to be successful and all their hard work has been predicted to be a fruitful result. I admire them because they all started from a low status, but look at them now, gentlemen wearing a suit. I salute them because even though they attained such goal, they have never forgotten where they came from and they still look back from the beginning and realizing what they've accomplish in life. 


Let us now know their names one-by-one starting from "Mr. Manuel V. Pangilinan". He was born on July 14,1946 in Manila, also known as MVP and a Filipino with a passion for business. He is the Chairman of the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company from 1998 until the present. He is also the Chairman of TV5, Philex Mining, and the Metro Pacific Investments Corporation(MPIC). He graduated as Cum Laude at Ateneo de Manila University with a degree of Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. In December 2012, he created a project for free access of communication service, electricity, and water supply from his company to be able to help the people of his province that was struck by the typhoon Pablo. After a year, he also participated in the relief in saving and helping the people that strucked by typhoon Yolanda. Next is "Mr. Lucio Tan", he was born on July 17, 1934 in Amoy, Fujian in China and lived here in the Philippines during his childhood. He graduated in a degree of BS in Chemical Engineering from Far Eastern University in Manila. Forbes Magazine had reported that he was a janitor in a factory of Tobacco and this is where he gets his expenses in his college, and later on preached the name Lucio Tan as the 2nd richest man in the Philippines. Tan is the owner of Asia Brewery, the 2nd largest factory that manufactures liquor in the Philippines and the Tanduay Holdings, one of the largest manufacturer of rum, and the Fortune Tobacco. In the year 1985, he bought the Central Park Hotel and created the Tan Yan Kee Foundation in 1986 to honor the Tan Family Patriarch. Third is "Mr. Bernie H. Liu". In 2000, he received an award entitled Agora Award because he became famous in the field of business from the Philippine Marketing Association and on 2001, he became one of the outstanding male in the Philippines. He also received the Entrepreneurship of the Year award from the Grand Chamber Awards of the Cebu Chamber of Commerce. He chose architect as his profession and a businessman with a heart and passion in reaching his dreams in life. In 1986, he created a store that is well-known as of today and I'm talking about Penshoppe. This store was first managed by his parents and later on grew and grew until it scattered all over the Philippines. Last is "Mr. Henry Sy". He was born on December 25, 1924 and businessman that loves retailing, interacting with other people, accountancy, and education in the field of medicine. The SM Malls, Shoemart Department Store, and Supermarkets are all the fruits of his hard work and was proclaimed as The Philippines' Retail King. He manages the SM Prime Holdings Incorporated, that controls all the interest rate in his business. In 2011, Forbes Magazine proclaimed that he was the richest man in the Philippines. He was born in a poor family in Xiamen, China and transferred to the Philippines to start their family business. They started their business in fixing shoes that are defective in Tondo, Manila and in 1958, he manages a small shoe shop in Quiapo, Manila and then became SM Quiapo in November 1972, and was the first SM in the Philippines. 

As what you have read, all this people started from nothing then because of determination, they became the people of what we know today and they emphasized a quote stating that "nothing is impossible".

10 - The Holy Trinity into Our Christian Life.

Good day readers! Today I will be discussing a mystery taken from the bible that you all commonly know about, and my topic today is the "Holy Trinity". Who introduced the Holy Trinity that became a mystery to us? What is the Holy Trinity's purpose of showing its presence to us? When did we learn the Holy Trinity as an important manner of understanding God? Where did we discover the Holy Trinity's hidden knowledge? How did the Holy Trinity became part of our Christian lives? This are my questions that I think may change the way I see this certain topic and the way I elaborated it.

According to my researches about this phenomena, the answer to the written questions are anonymous because I've read something stating that "We are not to be answering questions that are not entitled to be answered by us" this means that anything we answer using our human brain doesn't have the skill to apprehend questions that are far more complex than our current stability of the religious world. The Holy Trinity, according to what I've read, is divided in 3 persona: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost due to our believes about the characteristics or traits of God, but it is really considered as one true God. We only use these 3 persona as a strong individual trait of God and weak in terms with the two, it is the actions of God that made his character into 3 persons. Our intellectual knowledge doesn't have the capability to ensure that their answers are stated correctly and shared meaningfully.

We, as a person that contains many different kinds of thinking, are sometimes believing in his or her own perspectives and sometimes others believe in what everyone believes, and it is always associated with the confusion of what you might really consider and practicing on our daily basis of life. Remember that mastering your desired phenomena requires the eagerness to research for the information from other researchers and make it as your reference in truly understanding your topic.

9 - Musical Genre for a Lifetime Knowledge.

Hello again! Today my blog would be all about "Music of the 20th Century Era". I will now interpret 5 different kinds of music genre of the 20th century and I will state my own reflection about it, while providing some examples to all the given genre.

Impressionism, a genre for Claude Debussy and his composition is the Reverie. Reverie is a daydream, a dreamy state of mind, an instrumental composition of a diffuse and dreamy character. When I heard the introduction I felt free and relieved like I felt that I am dreaming, but the real thing is that I'm just sitting in a quiet place listening to this selection. It's like a feeling when the world is in peace meaning no unintelligible noise, no unnecessary sound, and no frequently repeated sound the may disturb my state of calmness. Expressionism, a genre for Igor Stravinsky and his composition is Petrushka. Petrushka is somewhat complicated, but all I know is that it changes its tone in a faster way that listeners would need to follow its flow in a much faster way. It gradually changes your mood because of its fast beats and it gives me the barbaric and exotic feeling when I heard the mid part of the selection. My overall experience for the selection is that it made feel heavy deep inside my emotions, it made me feel that I was in war and fighting for my survival and for my fellow comrades also. It gave me a drastic change in mood that made my emotions down and the feeling of being apart from the world. Serialism, a genre for Arnold Schoenberg and his composition is the Piano Concerto no .1 Op.42. It features the use of the twelve-tone technique and only one tone row. My reaction is that it gave me the feeling of being murdered, according to my psychological distress while watching some murderous movies in HBO. Avante Garde, a genre for John Cage and his composition is the Aria. Aria is dedicated to Cathy Berberian, one of the most talented voices in 20th century. However this composition has become an obligatory stage for singer who is interested in contemporary music. The experimentation that was used is how an individual preach the written notes correctly and harmoniously good without orchestral accompaniment. For me, you need some strong guts to sing this kind of solo music and with the help of your self-eagerness to sing this selection properly. Minimalism, a genre for Philip Glass and his composition Opening from Circles. Formally it consists of three groups of four measure phrases of three to four chords repeated four times each. This selection gave me the sense of being in a state of mind meaning my mind is empty with any thoughts that can distract me in a calm state.

Now that you've learn something new, try looking deeper inside the meaning of music and never assume that music is just a noise surrounding us. Music is an art where you proclaim your emotions, experiences, and expectations through audio and my topic is just a branch of the tree of music.

8 - Tree of Life.

Good day for all Filipino bloggers that will read my blog and also a pleasant day for whomever reads this blog. The title for my blog today is the tree of life and here in the Philippines, our tree of life is the "Coconut Tree".

You may be wondering why this tree is so important and why we don't recognize it as a simple tree standing anywhere. You should always look for the answer on why it is illuminated as the tree of life and you should be creative in reinforcing your hypothesis, so you would know the answer to your question. Based on my stock knowledge, the term tree of life was given to the coconut tree because the tree itself has the capability to support life in many various ways, whether its an animal or us human. For animals, the leaves of that tree are used, for example, by birds to build their nests and the height of the tree provides a security for baby birds resting in their nests high above the ground. For us humans, there are numerous ways to use the coconut tree for good, let us start with the leaves. The leaves can be used as a roof in what we call "bahay-kubo" that is made of wood and coconut leaves and the strong part of the leaf can be used as a broom. Next is the fruit, the fruit is very useful and delicious because the hard part is used as a "bunot" or a hard brush for hard surfaces, the core part is very delicious because it contains coconut food an coconut drink. The trunk can be used as a material for building structures and lastly the roots, the roots can be used as a decoration at home.

Coconut tree is really the tree of life because from top to bottom, all the parts can be used and there are endless possibilities that tree contains in terms to our survival.

7 - My First Anime had Changed My Life.

Some bloggers are otakus and some otakus are bloggers. By the way, the word "Otaku" is a term that categorized to all people who is an anime addict. If  you are this kind of person then you could really relate to my blog. Today I would share to you my experiences about an anime entitled "Sword Art Online". I know most of you have a little bit of knowledge about this anime and if you don't have, then try watching it yourself and comment your emotions below. I will give you a little trivia about this anime that I got from google.

Sword Art Online is a Japanese light novel series written by Reki Kawahara. The series takes place in the near-future and focuses on various virtual reality MMORPG world. An anime television series was aired in Japan between July and December 2012. Later on, an otaku blogged about it and the news spread all over the world like a wild forest fire. After that, producers of this anime received thousands of views and attached with millions of likes all around the world. My experience after watching this anime is worth-fighting for because in this anime, the main character relies on himself and only to himself without any help from others. After quite sometime, the burden is somehow very heavy to be handled by a single person, and one day a female character had entered in his life and helped him carry that heavy load along side with him sharing the weight of that burden. After a few days, they both realized that both of them has the same chemistry and same perspectives for each other. After the realization, the man had the courage to tell his feelings for her and when the moment arrived, he stated his feeling alongside is a kiss in the lips. The girl enjoyed it and she honestly told the main character that she loved me so much.

As you can see, a burden can be very heavy, so never rely only to yourself because all the people around you can help you carry that burden deep inside you. For those who couldn't relate, love was established despite of the problems that they are facing. I really love this anime because it pertains the true nature of love and the true image of trust.

6 - Life Inside a Book.

Hello to all readers that will read my blog for today! Today I would tell my thoughts and perspectives about a popular Filipino author known as "Bob Ong".

The term Bob Ong is just a pseudonym of that writer because he refuses to state his name in public. He was called by that name because of some misinterpretation and it happened in the  late 90's, when he created a website and naming it "Bobong Pinoy" during his spare time. Later on, a blog reader saw that website and contacted him and asking him: "you made an hilarious website, is Bob Ong your real name?" then the famous term Bob Ong was born. He published 10 books dating from 2001-2014 and successfully sold 500 thousand copies. Now for my thought, I think that Bob Ong has the potential to uplift our Filipino culture and introduce it to the world. He was successful most likely because of his first book and those that followed it and later on categorized as a true Pinoy classics by scholars and for me, he emphasized the word "Pinoy" with great pride and dignity for us Filipinos.

And now for my perspectives, even though his life is a mystery to us and also his citizenship, I still believe that he is the key to encourage our Filipino children to take part of in our literature and truthfully proclaim our culture with all their hearts. Before I end this, if you will read the books of Bob Ong, I strong encourage you to read his first book entitled "ABNKKBSNPLAko?!". This book is a true story referenced from his early years and in this book you could really feel the emotion of being in love to a certain person.
