ang walong sinag…
July 29, 2009
Ang walong sinag ng araw sa ating watawat ay sumasagisag sa walong probinsiyang ito: Batangas, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Maynila, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga at Tarlac. Sila ang unang walong lalawigang nag-aklas laban sa mga mananakop na Español. Elementarya pa lamang, alam na natin iyan. Pinapamemorize iyan sa mga mag-aaral.
PERO…
Unang walo… SO WHAT? What does it mean to be the first, the third, the sixth, or the eighth? What’s the big deal? May diperensya ba kung pang-9 o pan-10? Ang mahalaga naman ay kumilos ang lahat, lumaban, at nagtagumpay sa pagpapatalsik ng mga banyaga sa ating bansa. What’s with the ranking na sila ang nauna? So what? Lahat naman tayo ay lumaban?
ISA PA…
“YABANG-TAGALOG” ‘yan (lahat ay Tagalog, maliban sa Pampanga at Tarlac)! E, paano kung sabihan tayo ng mga taga-Cordillera at Muslim sa Mindanao: “Anong ek-ek niyo na kayo ang nauna? Kami nga, hindi nasakop!”
Totoo, hindi sila nasakop. Kung nasakop sila, e di sana, burado na ang kanilang mga tradisyon, paniniwala, kultura, relihiyon. Pero, hindi. Naprotektahan at napreserba nila ang mga ito.
Tapos, tayo, inaapi pa natin sila. Inaaway natin ang mga taga-Cordillera at ang mga Muslim - gayong kung tutuusin nga, sila itong hindi napasailalim sa kolonyal na kapangyarihan. At kung kultura ang pag-uusapan, sila nga ang natatangi at maipagmamalaki ng Pilipinas, sapagkat sila ang may katutubo o taal, may “angking sariling” kanila (dahil nga sa napanatili nila, di sila nasakop). Tayong mga Tagalog, may epiko ba tayo? May mga katutubong awit, sayaw at ritwal? Mga katutubong kasuotan? Sining ng paghahabi? Mga katutubong sandata, arkitektura, etc.?
TSK. Malaking kamalian iyang araw na iyan sa ating watawat. Pinagalitan pa ako ng titser ko noon at naibagsak ko pa ang quiz dahil hindi ko kabisado yung mga lalawigan - e mali naman pala. 10 taon akong bulag - ngayong college ko lang natutuhan ang tungkol sa mga katotohanan ng aking banwa. Utang ko ang mga kaalamang ito sa mga propesor ko sa Filipino at Kasaysayan. Daghang salamat po.

Hehe. Magandang ideya iyan. Bahaghari. Ahaha. Kaya lang, mukhang panget na maihanay sa mga watawat ng mundo na ang karaniwang kulay ay asul, dilaw, pula, puti lamang. Baka sabihin nilang kalokohan. Kung anu-ano ang ginagawa natin. Pero, bakit ba? Tunay naman na magandang sagisag itong bahaghari - gaya ng sabi niyo, makulay at masayahing lahi ang Pinoy. Ayus na mungkahi ‘yan…
Napakarami. Lubhang napakarami ng mga kamalian sa ating bayan. Ang dami nating mga pagtatama at pagbabagong dapat gawin… Hay…
Posted by xdalisayx at August 1, 2009, 4:07 pmPaano natin nasusukat ang tama sa mali?
Kung gayo’y minsan ang tama ay mali sa iba, at mali sa iba ay siyang tama.
Maihahambing din sa hindi lahat ng tama ay makapagpapasaya sayo.
Lumiliko, pasensya na po.
Posted by J.Kulisap at August 1, 2009, 5:40 pmMalaking impluwensya sa akin ang mga guro ko, ang mga prop ko. Ang dami nilang mga puna, mga batikos. Iminumulat nila kami sa mga kamalian sa ating lipunan, sa ating bayan. Katulad na lamang ng nandiyan sa itaas. Tapos, di raw dapat si Aguinaldo ang unang pangulo. Inaway niya si Bonifacio. Namatay ang supremo ng Katipunan sa kamay ng mga kalahi niya… Isa pa, hindi naman buong nasakop ang Pilipinas ng mga Español - di nasakop ang Cordillera at mga Muslim. Tapos, ang Camp Crame ay dapat pinapalitan ang ngalan. Si Crame raw - tinugis niya ang isa nating bayani, si Macario Sakay. Pinangalanan mo ang kampo mo ng pulis after ng kalaban ng isang bayani? Tapos, ang start daw ng colonial era - di raw dapat 1521 or 1565, kundi, 1588. Ah, sakit sa ulo…
Posted by xdalisayx at August 2, 2009, 12:31 amAng mga guro ay nagmumulat sa pikit na kaisipan, pero ang likas na dikta ng iyong pag-iisip ay mas makapangyarihan.
Taglayin mo ang sariling pagpapasiya sa mga bagay na inihahain sa iyo.
Gayong tama naman na makikinig at tatanggap ka ng paliwanag lalo na at sila ang may kasanayan pero mas mainam pa ring sundin ang nasa loob at isipan mo kung minsan.
Posted by J.Kulisap at August 2, 2009, 11:55 amTama kayo diyan… Napapansin ko nga, madali akong natatangay ng ibang tao, tulad na lamang ng mga prop ko, sa kanilang mga ideya. Pero tama naman kasi sila. Hmmm…
Posted by xdalisayx at August 2, 2009, 2:52 pmKilala mo si Nelson Turgo?
Posted by Paquita at August 7, 2009, 3:24 pmAyun, hinanap ko siya sa IntOrnet. Hindi ko po siya kilala. Pero, nabasa ko na pala yung artikulo niya - ahaha, yung nagmura siya ng putang ina.
Minsan, noong wala akong magawa, naghanap ako ng mga sanaysay ukol sa wikang Filipino sa IntOrnet. Napadpad ako sa artikulo niya. Ayos, astig yung lektsur niya. Tumatak sa isip ko…
Maliban sa artikulo niya, wala na po akong alam tungkol sa kanya. Di po ako pamilyar…
Posted by xdalisayx at August 7, 2009, 5:53 pmMaraming salamat sa iyong pagtugon. Mahusay na guro at manunulat si Mr. Turgo ,nagtuturo siya ng Literatura.
Si Jose Dalisay kilala mo?
Hehe. Naririnig ko po ang pangalan. Sa English Department po ata siya - propesor sa UP. Literatura rin po ata siya.
Hehehe. Bakit po ninyo naitatanong ang mga bagay na ito?
Sapagkat siya ay napanood ko sa telebisyon at aking naisip na bka siya ay iyong malapit na kamag-anak Dalisay? hehehe.
Posted by Paquita at August 13, 2009, 12:54 pmDi po. Wala po kaming kaugnayan sa isa't isa. Ni hindi ko siya naging guro. Kilala ko lang sa pangalan.
Yang "dalisay" ay gawa-gawa ko lamang. Online name, online identity. Ehehehe.

An outline, a gait, and the soles, which have become like two red signals. Several of my clients have told me that they’d never had so many pickup offers as they’d had since they started wearing shoes with red soles.”More fun than any other coffee-table book I’ve ever come across, Christian Louboutin Sale is not just for fashion editors or shoe designers aspiring to be the next Louboutin but for anyone who loves buying and wearing shoes, which, face it — if you’re human and have feet — is just about all of us.

Posted by Cheap Beats By Dre at March 24, 2012, 2:32 pmMy Top 10 Tips for Clutter-Free Living
Can you really ever be clutter-free? Well, probably not. shoulder bag I mean, who has time to obsess constantly about whether or not there is clutter somewhere in your house? We all have some clutter, after all, we are human! I have found there is a certain degree of “clutter” or mess that just doesn’t bother me. It’s more important to me to live than to make sure I’m tidy all the time. Things don’t interfere with my life unless they are in my way of using my space and getting important things done. Having containers full of memorabilia in my attic is not a nuisance unless I can’t walk around in my attic. The important thig is that I have strategies will keep things in balance and not let it get overwhelming.
According to Merriam-Webster, to clutter is:
“to fill or cover with scattered or disordered things
that impede movement or reduce effectiveness.”
If you have clutter that keeps getting in your way, high boots and significantly impedes your ability to be effective, or to have company in your home, it’s time to get serious about letting go. But doing it all at once is not always an option, nor is it recommended. There is a grieving process we go through as we let go of things…and letting go of too much too fast could be overwhelming. If we get overwhelmed, we’ll avoid letting go in the future, so better to do it chunks that we can feel good about, no?
So here are my Top 10 strategies and habits that much make it much easier to “maintain” a reasonable amount of clutter and prevent accumulating more. I hope you find them helpful!
1. Make an art form out of donating! I keep a DONATE bag in my bedroom and a DONATE bin in my basement. When I wear something and decide I no longer like it, in the bag it goes. When I go in a drawer and realize I have a shirt I haven’t cute hats worn in forever and never will again, in the bag it goes. When I buy a new shirt and need room to put it away, I pick one to go. Same type of strategy goes elsewhere in the house. I regularly scan for things to bring to the basement donate bin. To make the whole system work, I have a regularly scheduled pickup from the Vietnam Vets of America and my goal is to fill up at least one bag or box. Every 2 weeks during the summer and as needed in the winter, I put out our donations of clothing and household goods just like we put out our recycling. You might think I would eventually run out of stuff and my house would be empty. But trust me, that will never happen. This strategy helps us maintain a balance between incoming and outgoing so I don’t drown in clutter like I used to.
2. Purge the Fridge weekly. casual suit Every week before we grocery shop, we scan the fridge for what to get rid of so we can put everything away when we get back. The funny thing is, because we do this, we always know what we have and almost never have to throw anything away.
3. Don’t watch commercials on TV. fishtail dress Seriously, since we got our DVR, I never watch commercials, and so I save a lot of time, I’m less stressed and less tempted to impulse buy — or impulse eat for that matter. I can watch American Idol in about 20 minutes!
4. Don’t shop or look at catalogs unless you are looking for something specific. This was not easy to do at first, but it has gotten much easier to throw those I don’t need for work right into the recycle bin. I used to be quite the gadget junkie. Window shopping and looking through catalogs for the latest new stuff was “fun” for me. Not actively looking for stuff to buy has made a huge difference in my life. The money saved has helped me stay out of debt for over 10 years. beaded wedding dress The time saved is much better used doing stuff like writing this article. I got off the junk mail lists and when a catalog or sales ads come to my home I AUTOMATICALLY put them directly in the recycle bin. This used to be really difficult, but now I don’t even think twice. I love the freedom it gives me!
5. Don’t buy anything unless you know exactly what you plan to do with it and where it will live. Nothing comes into the house without a home to go to. computer case It’s amazing how this works. Whereas before we would get items home and then agonize about where to put it and end up regretting buying it when we can’t find a home, we now do all that agonizing in the store. And voila! The items we can’t think of homes for never make it out of the store and we don’t have to deal with the clutter!
6. NO more Freebies!!! Being a recovering “infomaniac” I used to go to events and make sure I got every freebie being given out. hotel amenities It was something I never questioned. Free? Of course I’ll take one! But no more. Once I finally let go of all that stuff that had accumulated around my house, I was determined not to let it pile up again. So I was very proud that at a NAPO Conference, I did not bring home the little votive candles and other little trinkets being handed out. I already have a drawer full of candles I don’t use often. I only brought home freebies I can really use. What a difference!
7. Put Paper Recycling bins on every floor. If your home has 2 or 3 floors, or even if your office is far from your kitchen, you need more than one bin for recycling. I keep a paper grocery bag under my desk. Now I never have an excuse to hold on to paper I don’t need. When going through the mail, I often get things that are “interesting.” I used to keep them and let them pile up. But now, I say to myself, “I was fine before this arrived in my hand. If they hadn’t gotten hold of my address I wouldn’t have it. I didn’t ask for it, therefore I can let it go. If I still remember it tomorrow or next week, I can dig it out of the recycling bin. If not, I didn’t need it anyway!”
8. Move anything you don’t use often to long term storage so it’s not in your way.Anything we don’t use often gets moved out of our living space to the attic, basement or garage. In our basement, we have a closet for linens that aren’t being used, like for blankets during the winter. If we don’t use them 2 years in a row, to the donation bin they go. Our garage is off the kitchen, so we moved quite a few of the appliances we only use occasionally like fondue pots and waffle irons, out to the garage.
9. Trust that you will always be able to get what you need somehow. In many ways trust is the opposite of fear. When you trust that you will be able to get what you need, you can let go of the fear of running out or of not having enough, then you won’t need to stockpile as much. If you trust that you will probably always have money for the things you really need and that you will be able to find things on sale again, you can more easily resist buying everything one-piece dress on sale just because you “might never see pri ces that low again.” Everything goes on sale on a regular basis. If you watch, you will see that just about ever 4-6 weeks paper towels are half price. So, buy a 12 pack if you know you will use them and you have plenty of space to store them, but don’t buy 5 12-paks. They will very likely go on sale again before you use up 60 rolls! At least I hope you aren’t using THAT many paper towels. If you are you can save a fortune investing in some great cotton kitchen towels!
