Ang Tunay na Kaibigan

Kaibigang tunay ay laging matapat,

ang tulong ay laan sa lahat ng oras.

Siya ay mabait at saka marangal

sa lahat ng saglit ay maasahan.

Sa pangangailangan, siyaý laging handa

nang ang kaibigaý hindi mapahiya. 

Siya'y nakalaan kahit na magtiis 

upang mapagbigyan, katotong matalik.

Kaibigang lubos, kaibigang tapat

ay kayamana din ang nakakatulad.

Ginagamit ng manunulat ang kanyang akda bilang instrumentoong maaring paghanuan ng mga aral na gagabay sa pangaraw-araw na buhay at pagdedesisyon ng kanyang mambabasa. Kung gayon, maari niyang dalhin ang kanyang mambabasa sa mabuti o masamang landas. Namamayagoag ito sa panahon ng Kastila at Makabagong Panahon.

Sa kabuuan ng tulang ito inilalarawan ng may akda kung ano ang iba't ibang katangian ng isang tunay na kaibigan. Isinaad ng may akda na ang isang tunay na kaibigan ay matapat na laging na sa iyong tabi, laging maasahan at hinding- hindi ka iiwan. Lahat ay kayang gawin ng tunay na kaibigan para lamang sa iyo. Kaibigan ay dapat na pahalagahan at huwag abusuhin. Marapat lamang na suklian rin ng tunay at mabuting pakikitungo ang isang tunay na kaibigan upang balang araw ay hindi siya mawala sa iyo.

:) XOXO :)

A not so fun tour!

INTRAMUROS

A not so fun tour! Honestly, I didn't enjoy the place that much. Maybe it's because I was not in the mood to tour, I don't have enough money for Restaurant hopping and I expected too much about the place. Sadly, there were a lot of informal settlers around.(Whether I had fun or not I need to do this! LOL)

Belarmino Sports Complex sa Project 4, Quezon City; Enero 24, 2014- Giniba ang Belarmino Elementary School noong taong 2007 at ginawang Belarmino Sports Complex. Malaking pondo ang nilaan para sa proyektong ito ngunit kasalukuyan itong nakatiwangwang at sarado sa publiko.

Bagong taon, bagong bayarin!

       Bagong taon, bagong pag asa, at bagong bayarin? Ako at ang aking pamilya ay matagal ng residente ng lunsod ng Quezon. Simula sa aking ina hanggang sa bunso kong kapatid ay sa Quezon City pinanganak at lumaki. Hanggang ngayon ay dito pa rin kami naninirahan at umaasaang pang habang buhay na kami rito.

       Ang Quezon City o mas kilala bilang QC ay ang pinaka malaki at mayamang syudad sa Pilipinas. Halos lahat ng kailangan at gusto mo ay narito na. Nasa syudad na ito ang mga pinaka sikat na istasyon ng telebisyon at ibang istasyon ng radyo, mga pasyalan at malls, restaurants at bars, at iba't ibang uri ng negosyo maliit man o malaki. Sa mga nabanggit ko, halatang malaking tax at pondo ang natatangap ng lokal na pamahalaan ng Lungsod ng Quezon.

       Laking gulat ko nang mapanood ko sa balita na may bagong babayaran ang mga residente ng QC ngayong taon. Tataas na nga ng malaki ang singil sa kuryente, tataas ang singil sa pamasahe sa dyip at LRT/MRT pagkatpos magbabayad pa kami ng "GARBAGE COLLECTION FEE"?! Anong kalokohan iyan? Napaka laki ng perang nakukurakot este nakokolekta ng local government ng QC sa mga taong naninirahan at nag nenegosyo rito, pagkatapos sa amin pa sisingilin ang gastusing iyon? 

       Napakalungkot isipin na pagkatpos ng araw ng pasko ay ipinasa na ni Mayor Herbert Bautista bilang isang batas ang ordinansang naglalayong lahat ng residente ng QC ay kinakailangang mag- bayad ng Php100-Php500 para sa koleksyon ng basura. Ang pagka- intindi ko sa batas na ito na napanuod ko sa TV Patrol ay naka- depende ang babayaran ng isang residente sa kung gaano kalaki ang bahay o lupang pag- mamay- ari nila. Ngunit hindi na sisingilin ang mga "Informal settlers". Maganda na hindi nila sisingilin ang mga "informal settlers" pero yung nakadepende pa ang babayaran ng mga residente sa laki ng kanilang lupa, ay hindi patas iyo. Pano kung malaki nga ang lupa ng isang pamilya ngunit kaunti lamang ang basurang nailalabas nila dahil sa wastong waste management na sinusunod nila, samantalang yung mga residenteng maliit nga ang bahay ngunit masyadong maraming basura naman ang tinatapon. Patas ba iyon?

       Naiinis ako, sobrang nakakainis ang batas na ito. Pwede bang wag na ito matuloy? Pero kung wala na talagang pag- asang matigil at maibasura ito tatanggapin ko na lamang pero sana, mas maayos at bago ang pasilidad sa pangongolekta ng basura. Dapat bago lahat ang gamit, tulad ng trak at dapat ay bawat lansangan ay may tatlo hanggang apat na malaking "Garbage container" at doon lahat babagsak ang mga basura ng mga residente at doon na lamang kukunin ng mga kolektor ng basura ang aming itinapon.

     SA KARAGDAGANG PERANG IBABAYAD NAMIN SANA AY MAGAMIT NG TAMA AT MAAYOS. UTANG NA LOOB DI KAMI NAGSUSUKA O NAGTATAE NG PERA!

A very typical love story

Nikki, a simple young lady with pure heart. Like many girls, she fell in love and got hurt.
   
 One night, at the Araneta Collesium.
     
         While Nikki was sitting and waiting for the concert to start, a young man that sits right next to her caught her attention. She couldn't explain what she was feeling that time and just stared at the young man. Several minutes had past, the concert was still not starting. The young man got bored and started a "one-question-one-answer" conversation with Nikki. He introduced himself as Billy. The concert was about to start and they needed to end their conversation, but they did not fail to get the each's contact number. As expected they got close as friends and eventually they had a romantic relationship. Since from the start of their relationship, Nikki told Billy that even though they are in that kind of relationship they are not allowed and they do not need to have physical contact like sex, kissing etc. At first, Billy respected and accepted what Nikki wants. Without having sex they could say that their relationship is stable. But as time goes by, as a liberated man, he got tired and decided to left Nikki. Of course Nikki got hurt and disappointed with Billy. This was why she lost her love for him.

-------------------------End of the story---------------------------

This experience of Nikki in her romantic relationship with Billy can be related with the theory of Altman and Taylor, the Social Penetration. 

In simpler explanation of Social Penetration theory (HONORS: Communication Capstone Spring 2001 Theory Workbook(February 14, 2001))

The Social Penetration Theory states that as relationships develop, communication moves from relatively shallow, non intimate levels to deeper, to more personal ones. The more time we spend with others, the more likely we are to self-disclose more intimate thoughts and details of our life. Epistimologically, this theory makes the statement that if self disclosure is high, then the relationship will develop. This "if-then" statement makes this a scientific theory. It gives way to "free-will" because people can choose whether or not to self disclose (time and manner). Axiolgically, this theory indicates that this behavior will take place regardless of values.

According to Altman and Taylor (1973 and 1987), penetration goes through a number of stages.

Using the love story of Nikki and Billy here is the explanation of each stages:

1. Orientation stage. Here, Nikki and Billy play safe with small and simple talk. They just had a "one-question-one answer conversation."

2. Exploratory affective stage. Billy and Nikki started to reveal themselves, expressing personal views about moderate topics such as government and education. This may not be the whole truth as they were not yet comfortable to lay ourselves bare. This is the stage of casual friendship and many relationships do not go past this stage.

3. Affective stage. Now Nikki and Billy started to talk about private and personal matters. Criticism and arguments might arise. 

4. Stable stage. Their relationship now reached a plateau in which personal things are shared and each can predict the emotional reactions of the other person. Criticism and arguments might still arise. There could be intimate touching, kissing and having sex at this stage. But unlike Nikki and Billy they never had sex but their relationship at that time was stable.

5. Depenetration. When the relationship started to break down and costs exceed benefits, withdrawal of disclosure which leads to termination of the relationship could appear. At the end of the story they both lost their love for each other because of some reasons.

Comment:

Social Penetration theory is not just for romantic relationships. It includes all kinds of relationship. Altman and Taylor compared people to a multi-layered onion. As people get to know each other, the layers "shed away" to reveal the core of the person. And also the theory seems to pertain to real world experiences.  However, Altman and Taylor abandoned several main factors that influence self disclosure. Gender, race, and ethnic background could greatly influence findings and may contribute to the rate at which onion is "shed."
