FaMe with the letter 'K'


Fame, a state of being widely acclaimed and honored. It is a public reputation that is being recognized by many. Being famous is one of people’s want. They see it as power over other. Some use it well, some abuse it. Fame is seen in sports, pageants, TV, film, commercial, and politics; well basically, everywhere. Some are already famous even before they were born, those who are from the families which are so called the rich and famous. But how about those who were born to have fame, who lives just to be famous?

I’ve known many people in the past which I still know today. Some were just nobody that is now already that somebody who almost has it all. For me, fame is something someone should gain after all the hard work and hardships on his own craft. Lucky ones get it instantly; those are the type of fame which I can’t easily appreciate. Those lucky ones tend to act fake for some reasons. Maybe they act that way to maintain their fame? If that’s the case, then I guess it is really being a fake. Even I, like to be famous, many of us want to be famous in our own chosen field. But if fame has its twin word ‘fake’, then we better change our like. Still, there are some people who maintain their fame and their good reputation, not faking their acts like others.

It is hard to become famous, but it is harder to live with it not being misunderstood by others. I believe that being famous is more like not being aware that you are one; it is acting normal, acting just the same, and living the craft that was the reason of becoming famous. For some who are already faking some acts to maintain their status, then I am sure there are few people who can identify it, and those are their friends.

Maybe some will agree with this, and some guilty people won’t. Either way, one thing’s for sure, ‘fame’ has its twin word, ‘responsibility’. Famous ones should be responsible for their acts, regardless the field they are in, because they are the role models on their own field and craft. Famous ones are responsible for giving inspiration to those who also wants to be one of them someday.

It is okay to be famous, and to have fame, but never to be fake, and get faked.

YinYANG


One benefits too much because the other loves too much? Isn’t that just unfair? I don’t believe that happiness in a relationship can be earned by giving too much to a partner. It is not just a give and take process; it’s an EQUAL give and take process. How can one be happy if he/she is the only one who understands their complexities? In a relationship, if you give something, you must also get something in return, if he/she’ll always wait for that, then it’s about time to think twice. Some people enjoys being so pampered but never appreciates it, that’s why they don’t give it back. Efforts should never be taken for granted; it’s simple, “if your partner doesn’t appreciate it, then maybe someone better than your partner will do, someone better must see your worth that is being wasted by your current companion”. It’s good to love, but to be pathetic because of love is way too much. I don’t believe in martyrdom just because it should not exist in a relationship that has an equal great love.

Studies

9/25/10 (cinema class)
5:05pm

It's when I crossed the line,
from being bubbly to being fine.
Tons of paper works I have to face,
oh I wish I can just put them in a case.
I know this isn't me,
but hell, now this is the place where I should be.
I'll go through this hardship,
just to get that effin scholarship!

Bothered

One of the biggest corporations. Takbuhan ng mahilig mag-shopping. Takbuhan ng barkada. Tambayan. Kainan. Name it, halos lahat meron sila.

Pero, bakit ganon sa admin nila? parang ang layo sa panlabas nila.
Hindi ko lang lubos maisip na, nakakarinig ako ng mga reklamo about sa pamamalakad nila. Bakit naman kasi ganon? sadya bang kulang na sa orientation ang mga empleyado ngaun? lalo na sa mga may mas matataaas na katungkulan? hindi naman yata dapat ganon, kasi kasiraan nila yun eh.. Like ung mga newly grads na gusto at excited mag-work, nawawalan ng gana dahil sa mga ganung tao.. hindi naman kasi talaga tama yon.. kung may naging mali ang ibang empleyado, hindi naman kasi siguro tama na hiyain un sa ibang tao kasi ginagawa naman nila ung trabaho nila. Tsaka hello?! wala namang pakialaman ng gamit, lalo na ung mga personal na gamit, kasi hindi porket mas mataas ang katungkulan mo eh pwede mo na pakialaman lahat. hindi mo pag aari ang mga empleyado. AT FYI....... Hindi sayo ang SM, at kung sayo ang SM, mas lalong hindi ka dapat umasta ng ganyan. Okay?! Konting pang-unawa naman sa ibang tao, dahil sigurado ako na inuunawa ka nila sa abot ng makakaya nila.

Yun lang. Nga pala, hindi 'to para lang sa SM , para 'to sa lahat ng empleyado at sa may mga katungkulan sa trabaho.

Tandaan: Lahat ng kawalangyaan ay may kabayaran.


"Ngayon, takbuhan ng mahilig mag-shopping, takbuhan ng barkada, tambayan at kainan lang ba sila? O tinatakbuhan na ba sila dahil sa pamamalakad nila at sa pagkain nila ng tiwala sa sarili? Isip. Isip."

SM, sana lahat ng empleyado niyo ay nasa tamang lugar. Kasi Nasisira ang pangalan niyo. Sobrang nakaka-bother kasi if I was in those places(ng mga empleyadong nadamay), mawawalan din ako ng gana na magtrabaho. At hindi maganda yon, lalo na sa mga newly grads, Im afraid na 2yrs from now, pagkagraduate ko, maranasan ko din ung ganyan sa ibang company to think na sa SM mismo eh nararanasan ung mga ganyan. Tama ba?

*BOTHERED*

Friends? Backstabbers?

Trusting someone you think you've known so well, so deep and so true. Accepting someone who, once broke your trust. And now, hating both the one you trusted and the one you accepted. To trust someone is, I can say, one of the hardest things to do, but hating is just the same as it is.

I trusted tons of people already, back stabbed by plenty, but only now that I was really hurt so bad. I trusted a person who is so dear, so close, so true to me, I think it is just normal to do such thing. But days passed and things changed, and so I had things in mind that I could not share anymore to this person. By that time, I had a chance to trust AGAIN to another person, just the same, so dear, so close and so true to me. Things went okay and great within that friendship. To some point, I shared things to this person that I kept secretly from the person I trusted first, for the reason that that person should not know about those things anymore so I decided to share those to the second person. Everything's really going well, I never thought that my secrets and feelings that are shared to the second person will not be known by others, a ton of trust I must say.

Days passed and things changed again, the thing I never thought happened. CRAP! I really never thought about it. And what's worst about it was the things I kept away from sharing to the first person was shared by the second! I hate it. Back stabbed?? I think so. It can never be just okay or good! It's very hard to be back stabbed by the one you trusted so much.

Though things went so bad, I'm still with the both of them, pretending to be innocent of the bad things they've done behind me.


"It can never be a secret if you, yourself can't keep it for you"

On Writing

Writing is important to a 3-year old child; it is where people usually base that a person is already literate. To a 3-year old child, writing is just having a pen and doing some strokes on a sheet of paper. But what is really writing to a student or to a media practitioner?


As a student and future media practitioner, writing is very important. Writing is a tool for expressing our feelings, ideas and reactions. It is a powerful tool for a media practitioner for it may create great impact from the public. To a media practitioner, his writings identify or reflect his personality on how he sees things and also writings may be the things that would come back to him, often times are from critics. It is sad to know that what one write may not be all good enough for others. I remember I read a book where the author shared that, his writings sometimes are slapped off his face because of rejections slips or a manuscript with many things to be edited. It’s not the paper that is going to trash but his own ideas, the ideas that took him hours to think about. True that writing is important because it is the outcome of what your mind tells you in a particular time.


For me, to write is beyond just writing. If a thing pops out my mind, I definitely need to write it because it may be gone in a second. It is important for me because it is used to catch ideas and to express it the way we interpret it.

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is a game, a computer game, as introduced to me. Never thought that it was a book, and just recently, a movie. Sherlock Holmes was a hit to some of my friends, but many doesnt know it exists in movie houses, much more in book stands.

After I've watched the film, I was really amazed, though I believe that it is just an excerpt from that thick old book. I never thought it could be really possible to have a person who thinks VERY critical and a person who is a keen observer. At first I thought it would be boring to watch because it is all about cases, investigations, detectives and all those stuffs that are really not that enjoying and fun to watch.

With the help of his partner, Dr. Watson, the movie was a bit light for me to understand, maybe because they are both adventurous on how they think specially Holmes. It is great to watch a film which is informational and interesting in a light manner. the flow of story was great though it is obviously 'bitin', well I believe that they can't put Sherlock Holmes' cases in just a single film or two. But this one is a nice try in putting one of his stories in a movie.

Reading may be boring, watching is great but I think reading is more informational, so I'll try hard reading Sherlock Holmes because the film encouraged me to know more about him and his cases. One of my professors said "some of Sherlock Holmes strategies are used by the FBI", well, I'll see if it is really possible :)
