Stealing Credits

-
I observe especially now that stealing credits become as easy to most people as picking daisies in the open garden. They drool right away once they spotted a good work and just like wolves they snarl and devour everything to nourish their ego. The hardwork, the sweat and tears invested by the creator/thinker/worker are disregarded and overshadowed by the wicked pride of the opportunists. I guess the overshadowing is too much when it is trying to redefine the moral value as if the commandment "Thou shall not steal" does not exist.  Or maybe they do not categorize it as such. Or maybe they just ignore. No. It's not picking daisies. It is taking  part of the soul of someone who puts passion on the work.  The seriousness of taking may not be severe in the eyes of the taker but it may be  as severe as taking ones life in the eyes of the owner. The movie Flash of Genious has a man who defies everything just to get what is rightfully his. Despite that he had been told a number of times that it was not worth fighting for, he carried on trying to reclaim. He won the battle at the age of over 60. It is worth fighting for more than half of his life. Who says that it's just picking daisies?




If you plagiarize others' techniques you steal their emotions and tell you spectators a lie with your work. Works as such equal zero. ( Wu Guan-Zhong)

STAGE DIRECTOR

-
I am fascinated when I get to watch shows like X-factor and the Voice where the professionals get to guide the talent. The way the relationship goes well between the talent and the mentor is when the talent gives complete trust with the mentor and just accepts that the mentor has a better view of how the talent can emanate the stuff effectively and well. It’s just like a director who has the best view on what’s going on outside the stage. I remember there was this hip guy who was part of the cast in the stage play. During the rehearsal the director directed him to exaggerate his movement. But the guy being cool but a newbie thought that the movement is awkward and not cool. And so he did not follow the director’s direction when the rest of the cast exaggerated their movements during the performance. During the performance it turned out that the audience viewed that the cool guy was awkward on stage and the rest of the cast were outstanding. What is deemed awkward in real life is normal

Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti

-
This morning, I craved for a Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti. And so I told Claire that I was gonna go to the Asian Store in Cashel to buy that Del Monte Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti sauce. She told me that she wanted to come along so she would see what else she could buy in the store. Then JC has to come along with us. . There is one store that might become popular soon for the pinoys in Lincoln called Filipino Mart. However, since I was in hurry to cook and to satisfy my craving, we settled to visit the nearer store. And so we shopped and shopped in the popular Asian Store in Cashel. Along with the sauce and spaghetti, I prepared grinded meat, Kransky (substitute for the Purefoods hotdog which we do not have here), onions, green pepper, carrots, and garlic. And so I cooked. I was sure I could never go wrong as long as I have the Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce. It was almost like I thought that I could do with more or less ingredients and still I could come up with del

UST Class 5 CE

What is good about having a Facebook Account is that you get the probability to touch base with your long lost classmates. It all started when a certain guy which I did not recognize in his profile picture by the name of Alex commenting “ If I am not mistaken, you were UST Batch (Bleep) 5 CE. Right?” And then he produced a class picture which included me 60 pounds ago. “O yeah, he is Alex from Class 5 CE. And then a few days after, several of my classmates from 5 CE sprouted and asking to add them in my Facebook Contact List. Amazing! It’s like I feel young again. There is also a feeling that you want to catch up with them and see how they are after all the decades. Ooops! Years. What do you know? Most of us haven’t been in touch after graduation and after the Besavilla Crash Course for CE Board Exam.
