1st week of 2nd sem

Hey! It had been a while since the last post. Lots have happened last week because it’s the 1st week of my SBM life! Erensto B. Neri BSMAcc-1

Work/School: School is fine, even though I’m a squatter. Squatter actually means a person without any solid block. My home block is actually MNH (the only MAcc 1st year block) but we only meet in Filipino and PE (MWF). The blood bath of Accounting 1 has not yet begun but I assure you I will prepare my light saber. The thing is with my schedule is that im actually learning to be flexible. Flexible because per subject has a different composition of personalities and I must deal with it. Good thing that I know people from each block. Especially my RS 15 class because my classmates are my previous classmates last semester. Oh ya! I’m really busy with the SBMSC caroling contest but I’m managing it quite well. The project is on track and all systems are working. I’m even a candidate for an office appointment.

Others: Basically I’m still in the shift gear trying to adjust and explore my new domain. I really felt welcome in the MNH block. Thank God I knew some people and those people made me feel welcome. The hard thing is I’m having a dual citizenship. XA and MNH but I’m forcing myself not label anymore. I’m practicing to find the Golden mean in managing all the friendships of the world. Well as usual, I still have a hard time memorizing their names.

Self: My self hmmm…. Basically the same, but I really making a career out of this live the day to the fullest philosophy. How? I will make sure that in every moment I work at it to the fullest. If I will greet a person, I will greet him/her with more than a smile. When I would help a person, I would help extra…. If I study I study + extra. This practice really brightens up my day. It terms of exercise, Arc and Cha (my new friends) are inviting me to have badminton sessions so I’m a go for it.

Other stuff:

Last Saturday, we broke a school record! 10 people including myself had a road trip inside a small car from our new area work to XU! Grabe! The manifestation of a sardine can.

Ya! Section K CWTS will no longer meet every Saturday because it’s a weekday task for us as day care assistants.

stock matters

There is one way in earning money big and fast. It is more professional than gambling, it is the stock market. If you even bother to watch business news lately, the Philippine “macroeconomic” situation is positive resulting to the upsurge of the stock market. So what then? Well, I am a registered online member of a stock trading game of the PSE (Philippine Stock Exchange). It is for free and the best part is, you can actually experience how it is to ride the bull of the Market. You can improve your critical analysis of market news, wise decision making in buying and selling stocks, and most importantly familiarize with the best money making institution there is. Imagine, I earned around Php 18,000 in just a day of trading! Sayang lagi virtual money lang ni but the experience is great! Visit www.pse.org.ph and join!

project philosophy note 1

My philosophy quest resulted to a self-examining quest. Basically it is indeed in the self where we must begin. I asked to myself; what makes me tick? I discovered that 4 things make me tick. It is the belief of a divine being, belief in self, and the love for others and the channel of work. These four components are the pillars of my philosophy. Again it is God, Self, Others and Work. I wish to explain what the heck each one plays and how they actually interplay.

God: It is the ultimate source and end of self, others and work.
Self: My concept of self.
Others: My concept of people aside from myself
Work: Human faculties aimed to help self and others and act as a channel to serve God.

With these identified 4 components, I now have the backbone of my project and in the following posts; I wish I could expound further what each one entails such as self-development, magis, golden mean, friendship, community etc. So bottom line lets 1st examine ourselves and identify the pillars of our lives before we live the new day of the rest of our lives.

the making of a personal philosophy

Last summer, I invested days reading online texts and books about the philosophies of ancient thinkers like Socrates and Aristotle. I hope that I would strike at some nugget of wisdom that would somehow magically crystallize the age all question of: “What is the purpose of life”. For several weeks, I searched the internet, the modern day oracle but still not satisfied. I watched good movies hoping to look for philosophical connections in the plots but still not satisfied. I bought and read books but still not satisfied. I did almost everything in the Teenager’s Guide to Philosophy manual, but to no avail. Then I began to do something that I forgot to do in the whole duration of my quest; I forgot to think. After I exhausted almost every effort in this mind quest this is the thing that I forgot to do; to contemplate and to think deeply. I was so engrossed in reading the contexts of books that I forgot the main faculty that made them write those things. Socrates was right, Philosophy begins with the faculty of wonder and that wonder entails deep thinking and contemplation. So this is the spark where my project began. My project is to simply create my own philosophy based on my experiences of life fueled by my reflection and thinking. I really hope and pray that the people reading this post and up coming posts may also uncover and construct their own personal philosophy. It is really essential to life that we must construct a deep personal principle that would withstand the challenges of time, self and society. So here are the components of my philosophy.
