My Poems Assemblage #1

Value Each Day

Good news is expected to come each day

Rub off the negative things everyday

Always think, God is here to save the day

Never think that He will leave you that day

Don't forget to love your love once everyday

Memories will never dissolve each day

Opportunity, not be faint that day

Together until the end of the day

Happiness not bought, but made everyday

Effort, important to grow love each day

Regrets, happened at the end of the day

I will never forget you everyday

Love, the best gift I could give everyday

You are the reason why I inspired each day

Let Yourself To Grow

Getting out in your comfort zone is an adventure

Because you will appreciate it like a treasure

In the real word, in life everything is a challenge

Every step, action and decision should have courage

Let yourself to grow, improve and be an achiever

In life, no pain no gain, you should be a believer

There's a problems and sacrifices, be a survivor

It is all for you, please do yourself a favor

There's NO FOREVER, everything is temporary

Every good vibes you face should put in a gallery

And look at it every time you feel weak, loss and tired

And when you succeed, tell yourself "I am glad I tried!"

----------

Internship Feels

Unfamiliar faces can be seen

A place, position you have never been

A works and task that you have never done

Family bonding has been short and gone

But now, I'm enjoying what I'm doing

Realized that I need to keep going

I encounter a lots of negative

But I turn it all into positive

None will happen if you put yourself down

Don't let folks laugh at you, you're not a clown

It is your time to stand and move forward

It is all for you to get your reward

The OJT is a great opportunity

Let yourself involved in DBP humanity

An organization with dignity

All the employees here, has unity

This is one of a kind experience

Letting ourselves to boost our confidence

It will remain to our hearts forever

Forgetting it will happen, "NO NEVER!"

Now, I think I'm ready after college

I'll not letting myself to discourage

Learn to accept rejections and failure

Move on and focus on our future

First Christmas and New Year without You!!

“Last year and this year, everything was different” I read this words on the news feed on my twitter account. And when I was reading it, I felt sadness. Maybe because this is the first time we will celebrate special occasion like Christmas and New Year without her.

I really miss her. I am saying this words to her, to the person that I didn’t show my love at all. And I regret it. To the person that passed away unexpectedly. To the person that keeps on praying for our sake. To the person that keeps on believing that everything will be fine someday. To the person that I ignored every time she wanted to talked to us. To the person I really wanted to be with us. To the person that I never expected that I will get hurt when she left the world. That person is the reason why I cried every night before I sleep. The person who loves on planting (especially flowers, vegetables and fruits) that person was really love cleaning the surroundings and helping people. That person who really admired God our savior. I just realized how perfect and good she is. But it’s too late. She’s now in heaven. I don’t know why I didn’t saw it when she’s alive. I really regret it. I just realized how important she is. I want to show my love to her. But it’s too late. I just hope she’s happy wherever she is. And I know that in the right time we will meet again. And in that time I will show my love to her and how proud I am to have her in my life.

We are now waiting for the year 2016. But it’s not complete. I feel very sad. I can’t celebrate it well. I’m not enjoying it. Instead I’m enjoying the rain outside while writing this for my blog. And also while reminiscing the memories of you when you’re alive. I miss your cooked. Especially the Suman. And I remember last year, its 12am of 2015 you come in front of us and kissed us. And that thing will never happen again now. I know you’re still there protecting and guiding us every day. And for sure you will kiss us when 12 am of 2016 come, but we will never feel it again or we are not aware.

We still doing the same thing we did last New Year like preparing round fruits and some other Pamahiin. We still cooked foods for Media Noche.

This New Year is really different. I don’t know why I can’t feel it. It’s not the same. It’s just like there’s no reason to celebrate.

My life is incomplete without you..

Special occasions can’t celebrate without you.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

ANNOUNCEMENT: Year End: Good Bye 2015 and Hello 2016

Life was never easy. There’s a lot of sacrifices, regrets, failures, and rejections. But still, to be able to success you must stand up after those trials that tests your capability in this world. And that’s capability makes you stronger. You must change the way you think. Erase the negatives and replaced it by the positive thoughts. Use your weakness as a weapon to survive. Fight your fear. You will be success someday if you change your mind set into positive. In this world everything is a test, a test with a twist. No one can direct your life but only you. It’s your choice on how you are going to use your life.

Year 2015 is not easy. There’s a lot of laughter’s and tears. There are also disappointments. There are times that you feels you cannot carry the burden anymore. There’s a lot of expectations that leads to disappointments. But to be able to overcome all of the challenges you are facing right now, you must seek for the guidance of our Lord.

Financial problem, family problem, school works, problem with the friends and professors, sickness accomplishment, failure and many more. All of this things happened in this year. But I’m proud to say that we overcome it. Why financial problem? It’s because I have two siblings that are still studying: two college and one high school. And it’s too hard to budget your daily income. My family income is divided into allowance, transportation, monthly bills (Electric, Water and Internet Bill) foods, tuition fees, savings and many more. How did I know? It’s because I always asked my mother regarding this things. Why family problem? It’s because my parents are having arguments sometimes (misunderstandings) but still in the end of the day they still love each other. Family problem is not only in my family, but also about our relatives in my father’s side. A problem that since then never be solve. But I’m hoping that one day, it will fix. School works? Well obviously I have done a lot of paper works last semester until now. A lot of exams and quizzes. And one of my subject was very near to failed. But now, I have time management to finish all of those task. Problem with friends and professors. Friends first, misunderstanding sometimes. Professors? One of my biggest problem, I hate terror professors. I hate recitations. I’m afraid to say a wrong answers. I always think every time I recite that “What if they laugh? What if I’m wrong? What if… What if’s???” (A lot of what ifs is not healthy). Professors always giving hard task to be submit very soon. (Within a short period of time). Why sickness? This year I was been sick. Cough and colds. It happens three times this year. Not only me but my entire family got sick. My father has a bad feeling with her right upper arm, but now it’s already cured. My youngest sister we thought that she was having a tuberculosis but it’s not true. Accomplishment? This year was the year were my sibling (youngest sister) graduated at high school, passed the entrance examination in the university and I have been passed the scholarship program in our place. This year we also buy Tablet and Android phone using my own money. And also we are now having Internet/Wi-Fi connection. On the way to progress. That was a great accomplish for us right now. But if there’s positive there’s are also negative. My uncle in my father side died (Bone Cancer) last May if I’m not mistaken. And also my Grand Mother in my Father’s side died. She died unexpectedly and losing her is one of the greatest regrets I have ever made in my entire life. I didn’t expected that she will passed away just like that. And I admit it, I can’t move on to her. I still remembering the moments with her. I always reminiscing the moments. Day by day I always remember her. Need to accept that she’s gone or else I’ll be crazy. I know she’s always at our side guiding us.

That was a summary of all the test we faced this year. And I am glad and proud that we overcome it together. I thanked God, my family, friends, and also those people who keep us down but still we can stand and managed the situation. Everything happens for a reason. God’s plan is still the best.

I hope this 2016 will be a nice year to all of us. More on good lucks than bad lucks. More on positives than negatives. More on love than anger. Leave the past behind and live in the present. Throw away the problem in the past and face the present. Life is too short to waste on crap. Hoping that 2016 will have peace. Good government. Election2016 elect the deserving candidates in the position. Graduated College and High school (Possible achievements next year). No more strong typhoons. Clean surroundings. And many more. Spread the love.

Now that 2015 is coming to an end, I want to thank 2015 for making me stronger and teaching me a lot of lessons that I can be apply next year. Good bye 2015, ‘til we see each other again. Hello/Welcome 2016 and I am now ready to face another test and lessons in life. I am ready to learn more and be stronger than before. I am ready to achieve and accomplish more. I am ready to reach my dreams very soon. Ready to fail, ignore, and reject (if ever) I am ready!

Dream! Believe! Survive!

Believe in the power of your dreams.

2015 NOW SIGNING OFF.

2016 NOW ON DUTY..

I Love My Friend Cheap

Is friends are important to you? Can you live without them? What qualities are you looking for a true friend should have? Which is most important? Quantity or quality? Are you proud on what you have right now? Did you regret it? Or you are so proud to have them? How can you assure that they are true to you? Are they always there when you need them? Are they always at your side in your up’s and downs?

“No man is an island”. It means that you can’t live alone. You need them to have a better and happy life. But sometimes some of them are just using you to make their life better and after that they will just leave you alone. Did you get what I mean? Actually I know some of them. How can you assure that your friends now are not using you for their own sake?

Who I am as a friend? For me, I am the type of friend that will do everything just to have a close relationship with my friends. I am the type of friend that always wants a surprise. I know how to payback. (Not in financial, well I admit it.) What I mean is I know how to pay back, like favor and other concerns. I always want my friends to be happy that’s why I always tell silly jokes, make funny faces, clumsiness, and singing out of the tune. I want my friends happy. Sometimes I treat them also if I have extra money. I want to make each moment perfect. Share laughter, tears, failure and success. In this way you can make your relationship much stronger.

I also have friends. (Of course) My group of my friends was not perfect. We also have problems and we also feels annoyed if we don’t like the way they talked or acted. I am the type of friend that once you have said something and I feel offended on the words or terms they use to describe me, that word/term will never leave my brain on thinking. I always did. Let me share you something. These are some of the problem we encounter (every other month/we argues infrequently).

One of the problem we encounter is that sometimes we didn’t understand each other. Like for example I’ll call my closest friend then we talk very fast to the point that we did not heard very well what we say to each other and later on we will have arguments about that. Another things is that when we are going to school we are always met in one particular place to go altogether to school. But the problem was when some of them come very late and we waited for so long. Another thing is that when we are having good times we did not recognized that some of us was hurt in the words or the way we deliver our words by that the whole time will be serious. Next is when they didn’t understand what’s happening in your life now. And lastly is when some of them asked for a favor and no one granted her favor. This is just a simple problem that easily to solve. So far we didn’t yet encounter too heavy problems in our group.

It’s good when the friends you have right now is easy going, knows how to have fun, can keep secrets, help you in your up’s and downs, honest, never break your trust, doesn’t judge you whether you are fat, thin, black or white (Or whatever they look likes) and the most important qualities I am looking for a friend is that: they will accept me. My real me. That I will never be shy to show the real me. It’s very nice to have a friends that are not easily offended, can ride on in joke time, and never leave you, always have communications when they are apart from you.

And now. I think I choose the right friends for me. All the qualities I want is in there. We have the same characteristics that’s why we are having a close relationships. “Birds that has the same feathers flocks together” We accept each other weaknesses and failures, strengths and success. Accept each other negative and positive attitudes. Sharing same ideas, topics and opinions. Sharing different facts and answers. Sharing moments. We’re not perfect, but we became perfect because we love each other more than a friend (just like siblings with different parents) we’re not rich but we accept each other. We love each other unconditionally. They are not bad influence (maybe in half way) but there are more good influence to me. They are God fearing, hard working in schools, does have respect to their parents, they does not using cigarettes or drinking alcohol. They are very perfect and it’s really hard to find again like them. That’s why I will never allow myself to lose them in my life.

I love my friend cheap because we don’t need money to buy expensive things to make us happy instead we need each other to share and make every moment perfect. Quality is more important than quantity. I don’t need a lot of friends because I know some of them are faked. I rather choose quality. A good quality that will last forever. A good quality with a cheapest price. 

Why Blog?

Why blogging? It’s because I love writing. And through writing I can share my own ideas and opinions in our daily life. When did I start blogging? It’s all start four months ago. I think it was August 2015.  I was just inspired by someone, that’s why I created this blog. But I start my writings when I was in high school until now. I have a note book that has my personal works that I have already done. And I was planning on posting it here but I need to edit some of it.

I just want to share something. Because her reasons why she start a blog is same as my reasons. And I can’t add more. We have the same idea on starting a blog. And it’s exactly on what I am thinking now. And yes, this person inspires me a lot. So much. Everything I want to say about blogging is in their:

Why Blog?

I started blogging back when I was a freshman college student in 2011. There was really no significant reason why I’ve decided to put up my own blog. I wasn’t (really) inspired by anyone or anything; bc as far as I can remember I wasn’t really fond of reading blogs or online articles back then.

I remember putting up this WordPress site at the crack of dawn sometime in August 2011, few hours before I get ready for school. I don’t know what exactly came up to my mind that made me start this blog. One thing for sure was, I made this because I want(ed) to let my feelings out through writing (since I am not really a vocal person when it comes to expressing my own thoughts and sentiments). Also, I wanted to share with people some things about my life; life updates, current interests/obsessions and some other random stuff. If you are a constant visitor of mainemendoza.com then you certainly know that my page contains various blog entries; and that is because I blog what I want to blog, for this is my so-called haven.

After spending almost 4 years here in WordPress, I still consider myself as a “beginner” to some extent. Apparently, I still need to acquire more knowledge about this whole blogging thing. I used to blog about entirely just my life, but after some time I thought that my blog would be better if I talk about other stuff as well; some things that people can somehow relate to.
I am starting to think of ways on how to make my blog worth-browsing to the public (I am slowly working on it!)

Anyway, If you are not so knowledgeable about the world of blogging, let me tell you some things about it.. Firstly, you must know that there are various types of blogs on the web; and they are mainly categorized on the basis of the genre they belong to such as personal blogs (like mine), fashion/lifestyle blogs, business blogs and so on. Some people get paid to blog; either through advertising a product or constructing an article about a particular topic. (Freelance blogger/writer) I actually do not have an idea on how that works but anyway.. people have their own reasons/objective as to why they started out their blogs, but I believe their main purpose is to share and express their own selves though the art of “blogging”.

So I came up with 5 reasons why you should start your own blog TODAY.. or tomorrow, soon, whatever.

1. Blogging is a fun and a nice way to express your thoughts/views about a certain topic. It is always fun to share your thoughts about something, especially if what you’re going to say is engaging and undoubtedly notable. Someone out there might find your topic interesting and share their ideas with you, as well. Connecting to people in the virtual world and exchanging thoughts and ideas with them are effective and convenient!

2. As I have mentioned above, your blog is your OWN (safe) haven. Your blog is something that you could (and should!) consider as your OWN, because it actually is. It could even act as your CONFIDANT sometimes; someone you could share your thoughts with, let your feelings out to, CONFIDE in, etc. Some kind of a tool that you could use to “escape from reality”, you know what I mean? Some people use the Power of Writing as an aid to relieve grief/pain (when they are emotionally hurt). In fact, there is a scientific research showing that expressing your innermost thoughts and feelings can reduce stress (I’m not even kidding). It might not work for you, but it does work for others.. including me, at times.

And as Olive Penderghast have said, what better way to share your private thoughts than to broadcast them on the internet? True enough.

3. You can express yourself FREELY. Your blog does not have to be a journal, but it could be if you want to! You don’t always have to think of something entrancing to talk about. You could just simply write about how bad or good your day has been, simple as that. You are free to express your feelings and thoughts about ANYTHING; a topic of interest, a person you admire, your random thoughts, or your personal experiences– there are really no rules at all.

4. Blogging is a nice way to document your life. One of the things I like to blog about is.. well, my life, of course. What else is there to write about? I, most of the time, blog about how my life is going or what am I up to at the present time. It is actually nice to blog about your experiences in life; it’s nice to share with others what you’ve gone through and what you’ve learned from that certain experience. Again, that “experience” does not have to be intriguing as climbing the highest mountain in the world, touring the jungle, how you survived WWII (..what?) and such. It could be as simple as how you spent your summer vacation, or your how you celebrated your birthday, things like that. Also, it is a great way to record the experiences (through writing and photos) that we can look back on to reminisce. 

5. Try new things! You might not be into writing or anything that links with blogging but there is nothing wrong with giving it a try! I know to myself that I suck at writing and that I struggle from conveying my thoughts into words at times but I don’t really see it as a problem; it even takes me a couple of days to finish a single blog post sometimes. My point is, it could really be a struggle for some but I guess that’s just how it is, you’ll have to figure out the best way for you to get the words out. You’ll get the hang of it eventually anyways.
But to tell you guys, blogging is a learning experience as well; you learn how to write, you learn how to express yourself in so many ways etc. More importantly through your own writing, you get to know yourself even more–and that (for me) is what blogging is all about.

Summing it all up, basically a blog is a place to say something. There is no wrong way to do it. So…. what are you waiting 

Love me like you do. Chos.

My Life Goals

All of us have their own life goal in life. And we want it to come true. But before we get it, we will encounter a lot of problems. Problems that makes you stronger or problems that makes you disappointed. People that will put you down. People that are against on your dreams. But whatever it is. You should aim high and dream big. Don’t mind those people that makes you down. Always think positive.

In reaching your dreams you must accept failure, rejections, and ignored. No one of us have been reached their dream without hard work. You must encounter challenges in life. It really feels good when you reach your dream in good way because you did your best. Reach your dreams in good way not in bad. Reach your dreams without hurting someone’s feeling. In life, everything is a test. God is the teacher and we are the student. Do good things and God will give your reward in the right time. Always remember: Prayer is not the last option when things failed to happened. Instead prayer is the first step before taking any action.

I have my own goals in life. And I want them so much. To prove that I can. For them to realize my value. So here’s mine:

• To Graduated College. To find job easily and to have knowledge. So, people will never discriminate you. People will never treat you bad.

• Find A Decent Job.  To help my family in the expenses and to help my siblings to finish their studies.

• To Pay My Parents Back For The Sacrifices They Made. I know that parents has obligations to take care of us and to have a better future. But still, we need to pay them back. We need to take care them also. To love them more.

• Save A Lot Of Money. To buy all your needs and wants. To support financial.

• Travel Around The World With Family and Friend. To enjoy life. To have happy moment with the people you love. To share happiness. To have experience. To challenge. Be adventurous.

• Help The Less Fortunate. Share your blessings to everyone. Make someone happy. You can donate to an orphanage and charity.

• Fix The Relationship Of Our Relatives. To have peace in the world. Share the love. Fix the fight. To be able to feel free. No to fight. No to arguments.

• Get Married. If it’s God plan. In the right time my “The One” will be mine.

• Retire Early. Invest money in the most trusted company. In that way, you can stop on working.

• I Want To Feel The Love Of My Grandmother And I  Want Her To Feel My Love To Her. I want to show my love to her. I want her in my life. But now, it will be impossible. She’s now in heaven. On the day she died I felt a lot of regrets.

• To Be A Writer/Author. This is my greatest dream since when I was kid. And I want this to happen. To be a famous writer and to publish a lot of books that everyone will like. I want it to happen. Someday..

For now, this is what I want right now. Time will pass I know some of them will be change, achieve or fail. But no matter what still God’s plan is the best. I’ll just stick to it. I can also add another goal in this list in the near future.

I know I can pursue all of this. I just need to be industrious, open-minded, think positive, grab opportunity, and have faith in God. Don’t mind negative comments of the people around you. Always remember: It’s your future NOT theirs. Don’t be affected of the people around you. Always follow what your hearts dictates. Always think of your inspirations in life.

How Are You Going To Market A Seminar?

How do I market a seminar? What things I should do to make it interesting with people. How can I convince them to watch and listened the seminar? How do I do it? How can I make it successful?

If I were the audience I want the seminar so good. I want to watch a perfect seminar. A perfect event that will make everyone to attend always. A seminar that will mark to everyone. A seminar that will be known and popular. Conducting a seminar is not easy. It takes a lot of preparation to make it successful. And as a marketing major students. The following are my ideas on how to attract people to attend seminar. I will put myself in the situation.

My first idea is to have a popular guest speaker. An extra ordinary speaker that will attract everyone to attend to. Second, to have a very interesting theme. That will make them relate on the discussion. Because if they got related in the theme they will listen more and they will focus on it. Third, have a free breakfast, lunch, snacks or dinners depending on the time of seminar. The food should not be low class, it should be interesting to everyone. Food from the famous restaurant or fast food chain will do. Fourth, give souvenirs to everyone, so they can keep it and everytime they look at it they will remember what they have learned in the seminar. Souvenirs can also the things that are useable. Fifth, during seminars, it will be fun if theirs an activities that are related to the seminar. To make it more enjoyable. Sixth, have a promos during seminars. Seventh, the place should be comfortable to the audience. There are ventilation, chairs and monitors for those people who are watching at the back. The place should have designed to attract the audience to watch. Eight, the sound system should be clear to everyone. Ninth, have an intermission number to lighten up again the spirits of audience. Tenth, event should not be delayed. The scheduled should follow all according to the schedule. Because some of the listeners got tired and irritated because of the delayed event. They will think that they are just wasting their time waiting. Because “Waiting is Time Wasted”. You should make every moment perfect and don’t let the listeners to think that they are just wasting their time. Eleventh, give certificates for the attendees of seminar and also to the speakers. Certificates can be used to their life in finding jobs. It can be include in the resume.

Conducting a seminar is not easy. You must exert time and effort to make it successful. To make it memorable. You must have huge amount of budget to make it successful. A lot of patience to make it organize and a heart for the consideration for those people who will attend the seminar. Do not take the chance to get money from the attendees. The money that will give by the people or the audience should be worth it.

             All of the preparation will be useless if the amount of money they paid didn’t get their satisfaction. In the end of the event, still the most important is the lessons learned of the audience from the speaker. The motivations and inspiring words they heard that they can apply to their life. The satisfactions. Attending seminars is fun. But you must remember that attending in this kind of event is not only for fun, but because of the lessons, inspirations and dreams that are ready to reach. Most used word in the seminar was. Believed! Don’t stop believing. You can do it. Follow your heart. Seminars can enlighten the path that you will take and also the vision for your future will be clearer than before. Trust yourself. No one can believe you but yourself.
