three for the road

hmmm...pano sisimulan? kailangan ko ihatid ang mga piyesa ng boxtype sa shop para masimulan na ang paggawa. nasakin yung "fender" pero yung "bumper" nasa dasma pa. next time na lang sana yung bumper pero naisip rin namin na kailangan ding asikasuhin yung "deed of sale" ng mirage. pati na rin yung kulang dun. kaya dumiretso kami dun ng tanghali kaso tumagal kami ng kinahapunan na. konting usap usap bago tumuloy ng indang...dumaan kami ng pala-pala. dun ko lang talaga naramdaman ang mga kalampag ng mirage. kaya habang nasa daan nagdesisyon na ko na kailangan ng ipalatero pagkalabas ng lancer.

nakita ko na yung ginawa sa lancer. panalo. di palang napipinturahan pero dahil sa nakita ko yung ginawang pag-buff ni mang bubot sa box ni dominic e napapangiti na lang ako..
pagkatapos sa indang, umakyat kami ng alfonso. bibisita sana sa lola ni misis kaso dahil gabi na ay hindi na rin kami tumuloy. habang papunta sa alfonso napadaan kami sa isang liblib na lugar. hindi naman kami bumalik sa pala-pala para mag-tagaytay na syang pinagsisisihan ko. sana dun na lang kami dumaan kahit malayo. grabe yung daan dun. sginagawa kasi. pero sobrang haba nung isang baku-bakong daan dun na sasayad ang pang ilalim mo. bigla ko tuloy naalala si BM(lancer) panigurado hindi nya sasantuhin yun. pero buti na lang nakayanan ni coda(mirage) yun. pagkatapos nun sinabi ko sa sarili ko hindi na dadaan dun kailan man. siguro abang ako ng 5 taon. baka gawa na yung kalsada dun. hahaha!

dinaanan na lang namin yung alfonso papuntang tagaytay at di man lang namalayan na lumagpas na pala kami sa bahay ni lola. pagdating sa tagaytay nakita rin namin yung bagong "supermarket" ng robinson's. medyo maliit lang yung tindahan pero malinis, maayos at kung ano man ang makikita mo sa bagong gawang gusali. meron din katabing "shakey's" at iba-ibang negosyo. mayroon ding "stall's". bilihan ng halaman, katutubong gamit, kakanin, baro't saya, at iba pa. pagkatapos mag-ikot-ikot kumain muna kami sa "shakey's". pareho din ng sa sta rosa kaso sobrang dami ng kumakain na nakalimutan ng "waitress" yung inorder naming "mushroom soup" na kailangan pang ipaalala. pagkatapos ay dumiretso na kami sa "grocery" dahil malalim na ang gabi.. di rin namin namalayan halos alas-9 na ng gabi ng dumatin kami sa bahay...hay! kapagod, pero masaya.

budgeting 101

to dig deep into envelope budgeting, i must simplify the term first. hence, i need to make sure i understand the word budgeting... budget. A budget (from old French bougette , purse) is a financial plan and a list of all planned expenses and revenues. It is a plan for saving, borrowing and spending -  wikipedia so, basing from the definition, it can be simplified as... (income - expense = 0) where income is defined(in my own words) as any monetary device labeled with currency which was received and/or is available to be consumed by the calculated expenses. while expense is a calculation of how the income will be used. some might ask where saving lies in the formula. since, i believe that it is one of the elements of expenses, let me extend the formula to: [income - (saving +other expenses) = 0] i still have doubts on this calculations, though. so, any comments and suggestions are encouraged for a healthy discussion.

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 21: No Theory of Everything

  The Most Seductive Dream There is a dream that haunts physics, philosophy, and the human imagination itself: one equation. One framework. One truth that explains everything. Einstein spent the last decades of his life searching for it, a unified field theory that would reconcile gravity with electromagnetism, that would show all forces as manifestations of a single underlying reality. He failed, but the dream didn't die. String theory arose promising eleven dimensions and one fundamental entity, vibrating strings from which all particles and forces emerge. Loop quantum gravity offered another path. M-theory suggested a framework encompassing all frameworks. The quest continues. Physicists still seek the Theory of Everything (TOE) the final equation that would subsume quantum mechanics and relativity, explain all particles and forces, predict all phenomena. The dream is powerful because it promises ultimate understanding. No more mysteries. No more competing frameworks. No more b...

Disguising as Equality: A Critique of the Societal Phenomenon We Call Empowerment

  Introduction What if the empowerment movements sweeping the globe aren’t about equality at all? What if they’re merely disguising a chaotic redistribution of power—one that leaves societies fractured, roles meaningless, and traditions discarded? Modern empowerment often dismantles meaningful roles under the pretense of equality, framing success as a zero-sum game: for one group to gain, another must lose. But societies like the Philippines show us an alternative: honoring roles through recognition, celebration, and ritual —without tearing down the structures that give life meaning. The Illusion of Empowerment as Equality Empowerment movements—feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice—often frame their goals as "equality." Yet, their methods frequently demand role reversals, erase traditions, and force conformity, creating new hierarchies rather than balance. For example, women encouraged to "lean in" to corporate roles often face burnout because the system wasn...
