Not Only to UPHOLD..But also INFECT!

This was a note in my facebook page. I wrote it first there.

HONOR. EXCELLENCE. LEADERSHIP. SERVICE. These are the four qualities that a UP Graduate, even a student, should uphold. We need to possess integrity, and we need to be honorable at all times- not only by our works that are honorable, but we should live to honor people as well. We need to be excellent at all times. We need to lead, and most importantly, we need to SERVE THE NATION.

What we do, even though unintentional, reflects what the University of the Philippines taught and instilled to us. What we say, reflects our knowledge, and it will still, in one way or another, reflects UP.

We now have a ticket to initiate changes in our community. We have now the power to influence the workplace, and the societal structures outside the academe. We are now part of the nation's workforce. Ang mga gagawin natin sa mga susunod na panahon, ay hindi na lamang makakaapekto sa maliit na mundong ginalawan natin noong tayo ay nag-aaral pa lamang, kundi aapektuhan na nito ang bansa, maging ang takbo ng mundo.

I believe that the four qualities mentioned above should not only be upheld by us. The number of graduates, compared to our population is somehow, for me, small and for this reason, our number can be insignificant in my perspective. However, I believe that we can influence people to uphold this qualities by setting an example. If everyone of us, tries to show people how to be honorable, how to be excellent, how to lead properly, and how to be a person with a servant attitude, and encourage them to do the same, we can cause a big wave of paradigm shift, and can cause a big change in the nation.

People, there are a lot of creative ways to be a good iskolar para sa bayan. We can influence thinking. Life is hard in the Philippines but it should not be a reason for us to leave it permanently in search for a better life because we can be an instrument to create a better nation.

Madami na tayong nakita, narinig, at napagtantong mali sa paligid natin. Ngayong may kakayahan na tayong sumali sa mga usapin, sa mga pangyayari, huwag tayong padala sa kung ano ang ginawa ng nakakarami- gumawa tayo ng isang pagbabago.

Kung sa tingin niyo ang aking kaisipan ay imposible, marahil tama kayo kung kung wala na kayong nakikitang pag-asa sa bayang ito. There is still hope, as long as, we the citizens of this country believes that there is still hope, and we are willing to be agents of good changes.

I am not good in writing. I am 18. My thinking might be too much idealistic. I, however believe, that everything is possible.

15 hrs of sleep.. OMG

I never realized how exhausted I was until I tried to sleep without anything to think about yesterday.
I was about to go home, at Nueva Vizcaya, just to have rest at home and eat up to my hearts desire (because food is overflowing at home whenever I decided to go home) , and meet my friends in high school because today is our Alumni Homecoming.  However, most of the people around me- friends, teachers- advised me not to go home since it is already exhausting and I deserve some rest here at LB- the travel is still exhausting, and that should just be allotted to rest.
So, I called my parents and told them I won't be going home, and I was so touched that they understood and just told me that they went  to the market the day before yesterday to buy ingredients of my favorite foods (ahh, the thought made me cry).
So back to how did I realize I was exhausted.. simple.. after taking a bath, and getting to bed at 4 PM, after praying, I was able to sleep straight, (interrupted only by my mother's call, and some intermittent short-time of waking up because of my phone vibrating),  and woke up 7:30 AM today.
I was so shocked. That was my first time of sleeping very long.

Busy.. Defense.. Grace

I've been very busy these past few days because of my thesis. For the past few days, I was not able to sleep fully, and just steal some time for naps.


I was very nervous yesterday because it was my defense and before that particular moment, I was really praying to God for wisdom, guidance, and affirmation that my plan are in line with His plans.


I am done with the defense and I am thankful to God for providing me everything that I need- favorable environment, sound answers, sound mind, etc. I am still being busy with my manus though, and it's a day late already. I hope I can pass this later.


I am still praying that i'll graduate this year so that I can already work or enter gradschool this coming term.


I hope, i'll still be in elbi because I want to serve my church in any way possible. :D


I have to go back to work.


I just want to remind you guys that if you are in trouble, or in times of need, God is always there with you. Just do what you can do, and allow Him to do the things the HE only can do.


You take care!

So I tried to create a new blog today using this platform. I think that it would be fun to upgrade from just tumblogging. I have noticed recently that I have been posting long posts in my other address which could be conceived by my followers as uninteresting.

It is my first time here and I still do not have the idea of what to do and how to do things here. I hope I can update this always so that I can train myself using this page as platform.

I am Alxis John Movida by the way. 18. BS Biology Student in UPLB. Senior Student. A Baby Christian. :D
