FreeThink: Reflections, Criticisms and Emotion

What happened today? I woke up the usual time. I think that was 9 or 10 Am. I don't care. I am enjoying my self. Once I get my job order, my life will be different. I could compare it to be closer in hell. I was once a college instructor, I see this one a new challenge. I like challenge though. My enthusiasm for it is similar to an atheist studying the basic doctrines of the Bible. After lunch, I went to a mill to process a 99 kg rice. I got home of course. I went to sea-back played basketball with the Pong-pong and some sea-back boys.  Before I left played one on one with Jun jun that was a game. I could tell it by the body pains that I have now. After I am contented with my body pains, I went to plaza and played another game. Went home because of some good news. Brownout again. The electricity came back. I'm happy now. As of now, I'll be back writing lies.

A thought came into my mind earlier this evening, as I am pondering about a thing called success. A thing that is being chased by everyone, including me of course. I Just realized that success is not an end. It's not like a coffee bean that is packed and sold on supermarkets. And when it happens, it marks the end of it. Success is A process, its a journey. success is the act of being happy while doing what you do. Doing your passion with a little regard for what you can get from it. Success is about happiness. One of the greatest thing that happened to me this day, or should I say, last day, because technically as I am writing this post, it's already 1:00 in the morning is @Sthompsonauthor #Scott Thompson followed me on twitter. 'm not the kind of fanatic guy but for me having a connection with this kind of person is a great help for greatest fantasy. I would never forget his tweet to me.  @ jcans_13 Start writing short stories. Be sure to read and write every day.  Ba...

JERONE AVEL S. CANSINO A life, a name, identity, pain Glory, power, wealth a bane Dream, pursue, and act with faith Unleash yourself, your fate you make Sorrow might be, on your way But, likewise joy, in you will stay Higher, further, push your way And lower, lower that head I say From white to black, the hue, does change Smile comes in, as sorrow fade Toils and labor, is deemed to end As life draws nearing final stage Rejoice! In victory shout and sing! Mourn on defeat, and rise again. The end will come it surely will. Prepare for it, but be still, still.

I just watched interviews of JK Rowling, Dan Brown and David Baldacci. I did it because of a reason. I want to know their stories. Not the stories of their life, but the story of their success. How they did their stuff. I’m really moved by what happened to JK Rowling in her early life. It gave me hope that, she was 25 when she started writing Harry Potter. Well for now, my success is like the Yamashita treasures. I think it is still mythical. But I would like to continue though. I might not be a fulltime writer but I will write. I will write my examinations, my master’s thesis and Ph.D. dissertations. I will write some stupid things, such as solution for the deeply rooted corruption. I would also write about more important things such as, whether I will buy a new motorcycle or settle with my old sagging one. Definitely there is so much to write. One I learned of David Baldacci, it is easier to create truth than of searching for one. Then my plan is write the truth. Well for me everyth...

What happens if you want to something but you just can't do it. What happens when you tried and tried but every effort you have exerted seems to be worthless? What happens when the only thing you recognize is frustration?  Sometimes, what I hate in setting a goal is frustration which I think is common to everyone who dreams. It's just hard accepting the fact that you are being defeated? Why is it that we are chasing success? Why not let success choose you? It it ever possible? Why am I asking myself these questions? Why the hell am I doing this blog? Why do I like to be a writer? Why torture my mind doing such things? I'm a teacher, it so happened that I passed the Licensure Examination in a score that is somewhat, I prefer to call promising. I took oath, the first day of July this year for a plantilla position. Should I be proud of it?  I am a person who is easily contented, I would take teaching as my career. But not, teaching is my job and writing is my calling. ...

The difference between a story and a reality is the fact that a story ends in a point that is decided by the author. He can end it after the resolution of conflicts. For an instance, when the boy decides to condemn himself in a curse that is commonly called a wedding so that they can live happily ever after, before they rest in peace. In a typical Filipino plot for example that has been around for decades, you can know that the story is ending when the hero has killed the villain and the police arrived so that the leading lady can kiss his man. When all the monsters are killed, when the protagonist survives and the favorite line of fairy tale fans “And they lived happily ever after” appear or heard. All of the previous examples are happy endings as we call today. It is a typical behavior that are not amused when the main character dies. We hate tragedies. Tragedy is characterized by one thing. According to my English teacher, tragedy does not have a happy ending. The death of tit...
