| Now,
of course you'd like to know the man behind this all. But
don't you worry people. we'll come to that. Sit back and
relax grab a beer, and chips and here we go. |
| I'm
not really good in telling stories about myself eh. So I
gonna make it short as to spare you with all the details
of how I was born. My mother said that I was stilborn. It's
a miracle that I live until now.Anyway, that was on the
25th of October in the year of our lord nineteen hundred
and seventy three. |
| Yes
folks, count the years, and you know that I'm not anymore
a kid at school, you see. |
| So,as
I grew up in a little town somewhere between the mountains
and seas, the island. Actually, I'm an islander and a small
town kiddo. I'm the youngest among five siblings and all
of my older sisters are married and have their own family.
Only my mother left since my father passed away when I was
9 years old. I basically grew up without my father. Mother
is also busy taking care of us five so we are not really
pampered. We are not spoiled brats. |
| I
attended primary school at our little town's elementary
school and got some kiddie recognitions too, which made
my mother extra happy and proud of her little son. |
| I
moved to the city of after finishing the sixth grade. Then
I attended high school in the city. I basically spent my
growing up years in my beloved Puerto Princesa and only
with my sisters around. Mother of course come to visit us
from time to time. The travel from the island with the boat
takes much time and uncomfortable. But that's how we lived
there. It took me four years before I was able to visit
my hometown and another four years after college. |
| High
school and college were the best times. Naturally because
it's when we became more aware about the meaning of our
existence. High school is when we build our dreams and growing
up, mentally, emotionally, physically. College is basically
the time when we try to make the dreams into reality. |
| I
joined quite a number of extra curricular activities during
college. I really enjoyed being around with people. I finished
college with a grant from the university due to my being
a member of our college choir; Fair enough, since I enjoyed
our singing stints and were always there at university events.
I joined several organizations giving voluntary services
to the remote communities in my province. There is much
to learn to as people from all walks of life esp. those
whom I have personally got in contact and affected my life
in one way or another. |
I
finished BS Biology in '95 at the Palawan
State University and work at the National Statistics
Office for some months. Then wrote for the local newspaper,
"The Palawan
Sun" for another couple of months and at the City
Tourism Office for another couple of months. |
Living
in (Cottbus)
Germany is not that easy. But after almost 8 years being
away from home, I have learned so much. Here, everyday is
a race for survival, who is not fit, is eliminated. Anyhow,
every experience counts and that what gives meaning to our
own existence. |
My
short sojourn (three months) in Italy proved to be a very
fruitful, exciting and interesting experience. Careerwise,
I think I've got a very profound knowledge there and that
would be useful for me in the future. Here is the link to
(ITC-ILO
/ University
of Turin and to my beloved (IFCD)
members. Viva Italia!!! |
Currently,
'm trying to write my dissertation for my Master
of Arts in World Heritage Studies, so hopefully, I'd
be able to finish this this summer. So, that's it for now.
See you around dear visitor. Be well and all the best. |
ISM
pronunciation:
'i-zm
function:
noun
etymology: -ism
date: 1680, a distinctive doctrine or theory. |
To
the great thinkers of the world, ism is simply;
their way of life. The link above provides good
information of all ism there is. |
I
am not a philosopher, but "I think, therefore,
I am". Why LwrdcbnISM? It's a new term coined
by your's truly to exemplify the tradition in
the way of thinking of no other than myself. Others
would only follow just what the others are conforming
to, but to those few who are following their own
-ism, they find it better and easier to be contented
with their lot. |
Happines
comes from the heart and how you make of it. Live
life, be yourself. |
