When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

I found the above quote while wandering in the Internet. I really like it. I have the exact message of that quote only in the form of a poem at the back on one of my journals during high school. I hope that many people will reflect on that quote. Many of us are hoping for a good change but we often overlooked the things that have to be changed about ourselves. I myself is guilty as charged. Most of us complain over silly stuff, it may not really that silly but the point is have we taken the initiative to do something about it?! We made a habit of blaming others instead of working together for a solution. I know it’s kind of hard to do that but that’s what we should do.
Be the change you wish to see in the world
~Gandhi

I just finished making revisions on the e-cart system and as I close my eyes to get away from the intense brightness of the monitor, this silly thought cross my mind. I don't know why all of a sudden this notion came into my reverie. I hate it when I ponder on this thought but actually I've been mulling over this thought ever since I was in high school. I've talked about this with my high school friends and they told me that I'm being pathetic but you know what, I really can't help thinking that I'm gonna die soon. The very thought of death makes my skin crawl. I'm terrified of death, right now I've got so many wonderful plans and the though of death makes my aspirations and dreams blurry. I'm not prepared for it and I'm not saying that there's sort of preparation for death, I just don't want to die and I know that its not my time yet.
I've been having this spots or blemishes all over my body since December last year. I've seen three doctors already but still I'm not healed. They only give me a few spot-free weeks and after that the blotches are all over me again. Right now I even have spots on my face and sometimes I'm having a difficulty breathing. I don't know what's happening to me and this frightens me. I already stop taking medicines, they can't cure me. I do not usually believe in
albularyo but I've got nothing to lose. Right now what I'm taking are herbal medicines. Just last night my mom boiled these leaves, I don't know what they're called, and I bathed using them. This may sound ridiculous to you but I'm really hoping that this could cure me.

Well, it's been ages since the last time I updated my blog. What happened to me those days?? Well, let me recall..... I've been busy with work and school but I really can't study and work at the same time that's why I have to choose between the two... and what else would I choose..? Of course, I've chosen my studies...
I've got learnings at work... I've met wonderful people and learn something from them also... There's no regrets although I sacrificed my health....
After I quit work, I gained a lot of weight and that depress me... I used to weigh 103 lbs but now I weigh 120 lbs...
Right now, I'm having my OJT in Balanghai Study Center.... We're developing a system using PHP... I cannot say that my OJT is fun and easy since you have to study PHP but the experience is fulfilling.
I'm looking forward for this school year since this will be my last year in UST (hopefully this will be the last) This is the time to get serious with studies... We will be having our thesis this year so the best of luck to all of us... Hopefully, we'll make it...
By the way, I read this book (Eleven Minutes) by Paulo Coelho, it is different from the previous books by the author since Eleven Minutes is about a prostitute named Maria... (what a name for a prostitute)... But the book is really good, it is filled with profound and philosophical thoughts... And one more thing..., it has a very nice ending... Read on guys...
