Magnificent Purpose

Now here I am, pondering on what to write again in my blog. I always wanna write but when I start staring on my screen, I get puzzled. Though there are lots of things in my mind but I can't seem to sort out on what should I write first. Needless to say, I am on the verge of a.. meltdown?

There are things I wanna do but I am losing the will power to do it. Just because of the hindrances I bear in my mind. like,

can I do it?


Can I handle it?

Will my parents approve it?

as I go on being twenty years old, i learned that my parents can't let me go on my own way. Biologically, I am the only child. and no matter how I long to do things on my own, or even start to look for my passion and career, they disapprove it. they don't even want to let me work yet.

Everyday, from the time I graduated, all I could do is sit back and relax at home. the same old routines day by day. I just wanna work and learn more in a workplace. I am an outgoing person but it seemed like I don't get to enjoy my personality development having faced this four corners of my room. Even though I have what I needed in my room, (tv-w/cable channels, sound system, computer with internet connection, refrigerator stuffed with goodies and chocolates) I still wanna work. Do more productive things. And most especially, STEP OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE.

But nothing seems to work out if I don't wait. I remembered the line our pastor have said, "Lord please give me patience! Now na! " How could we ask this virtue of even in asking we don't even have patience---- funny right? but without us knowing, we often do it subconsciously.

I have desired more in life, but I bear in mind that God has prepared something bigger than what I desire. I just need to learn this common-but-usually-unattainable-virtue : PATIENCE.

but you know guys, you have to work hard for it too.. :)

" Whatever you desire in life, LEARN God's perfect timing so that you may discover that all the PAIN found in WAITING has a MAGNIFICENT and AWESOME PURPOSE "

Gender-Sex reDEFINED

Last August 8,2009 we had our Gender Sensitivity Seminar with the resource speakers from the Development Academy of the Philippines.

I was very expectant to them handling the entire seminar from 9:00am in the morning up to 5:00pm in twilight peak in the afternoon. It was NOT fun. It was very boring. So, that was my assessment regarding to the way the speakers handled the seminar. I just wrote down notes and as usual updated my twitter and plurk for that day.

So here are some notes that I jotted down: ( I learned it too because I patiently listened to the discussion, trying not to mind the boredom going on)

1. Gender - is culturally ascribed. The meaning of the roles of a man and a woman are being taught to us, as we grow mature. STEREOTYPING of Gender roles is one main factor that we separate the roles of boys and girls and in which we neglect to respect the ability of oneself irregardless of the gender that we have. MAINSTREAMING is another solution that societies are trying to convey to each of us, to avoid discrimination. Just like as what we have observed in our society today, that women empowerment is often justified through the administrative tasks being acquired by woman irregardless of the thought that men should be the decision maker.

2. Sex - is a natural distinguishing variable based on biological attributes.
- it is usually categorized in the physical aspect and genetic aspect. What the heck are these? In the Physical aspect, these are determined by the reproductive organs. And in the Genetic Aspect, these are determined by the chromosomes and the hormones.

Chromosomes:

Male : xy
Female: xx
