research year-end message to pisayo and pisaya
Dear children of God,
Konnichiwa! Ogenki desu ka?
At 1 o’clock in the morning, I got a message from your Ma’am Erika and here how it went. I wish I had the courage to refuse but how can I if your Mam Erika was a very nice student to me in her Physics 2 and Physics 3 classes with me. She submits all outputs and tops most of my long tests
Erika (E): hi sir aris. r u busy?
Aris (A): Good morning Mam Erika! Anything I can be of help to you?
E: Sorry gd sir to inform you late, but the research year-end party will be tomorrow. Is it possible for you to leave a short message for the kids, bisan i-pm mo lang sakon on fb? kagina ko lang naremember kay the students said they miss u. hehe. no pressure sir, ok man if you don't have time.
A: What time?
E: 1:30 pm later today. wednesday 3/13/13 1:30 pm
A: Ok. Sure I will send a message later. Thanks for remembering.
E: Thanks sir. Good morning!
A: Please don't mention it.
E: :))
I exactly don’t know how to start this and I guess you remember the time when you first write your introduction. I know it was challenging (subtle way of saying it was hard) but look at what you have accomplished. Looking back at the time when you first heard and learned that there is a Research subject in Pisay, have you now realized what indeed Research is from all the urban legends and from your own experience? Some of you might say that your learning experiences are exactly the same or maybe completely opposite. What transpired in two years hopefully transformed you into a better scholar. This can be likened to falling in love. We fall in love and ended up happy or miserable depending on the outcomes of the relationship. This is also in the case of doing Research. It might have turned you into a lover or a hater of the subject. If you turned to be the former then I congratulate you for you found the treasure which is not easily earned. I challenge you to cherish and nurture it in your heart. For those who became bitter because of Research then I can only wish that you still have the hope in your heart to make it better the next time. Let not bitterness wallow in your body and learn to love again. If you turned out to be neither a lover or a hater then you deserve the hottest part of the hell. How can you not fall in any of the two categories if you “DID” your part as a researcher.
Therefore, I admonish you in claiming and bragging what you did and did not in the name of Research. A scholar is despicable for thinking it this way. Never in this world you can brag to other people especially mischievous actions that were not known. Bisan nakalusot pa kamo then whatever you claim will still reflect the kind of person that you are. Your emotional, physical and financial investments in Research resonate the joy in your heart and only you can claim it now.
So, for the lower year, I wish you to learn as much from your manong and manang. Let not this define however your experiences in Research in the future. Let their stories be your inspiration or your motivation. At the end of the day, you alone have the power to make any circumstances whether bad or good to always work for you. The truth is, this message is just an exercise of futility because a scholar is always capable of surviving all the odds that come his/her way.
Because you are dearest to me then you will be the one of the first people to know that I just passed my University entrance exam as a PhD student. I will attend my regular class starting next month and my status is no longer a Research Student because the Japan government extended my scholarship until I earn my degree. Please don’t take this as if I am bragging but something you can learn from.
Let me tell you how research helped me in where I am now. In order to earn my scholarship, I had to write a concept paper exactly what Juniors do. In order for me to earn a scholarship extension, I also had to write a concept paper and explain why I need to have the scholarship. I underwent research proposal defense in front of 12 professors. While the rest of applicants were nervous, I was excited to write and look forward to the interview. Indi gid sila magpati nga may mas maaram pa kananda *pause and insert siraris signature laugh here*. All the while they only know of Aris as a teacher. In Japan, learning quality Research is taken seriously. The more you can publish the higher is the salary and the perks. In my case I get to enjoy the perks that go with doing it. I have now 2 papers ready for an international conference that will allow me to travel for free. They cannot believe but there is more to what I have told them. Iw ould reply, “O come on, my research work is not as good. Better go to Philippine Science High School Western Visayas and you will understand what Research is all about.”
In a land which is stereotyped as technology advanced, it is unthinkable how we are capable of doing great despite our limitations. Most of them cannot fathom how smart high school kids can be when I show some of your Research and Investigatory works here plus how great George’s cosplay dresses are. If you ask yourself what cosplay has to do with this message then it is just a random thought.
One time, my Research adviser asked me why I am so hard on myself. I replied matter-of-factly that, “Sensei, I always look at my work as to how my students way back in the Philippines would toil in the name of Research.” Of course there are those who don’t care but in most cases majority of those I have worked with became my inspiration as I do my work now. It is for this reason that I have coined the term “Carlo-carlohan” which I would do to my sensei right now.
By the way, if you don’t know Carlo-carlohan then better ask your Research adviser. And please don’t simply ask. Take time to thank your Research teacher in whatever possible way to make them feel that their efforts and sacrifices were not in vain. I would like to conclude that we may be all different but a simple note or simple gestures will spell a lot of difference. Of course they won’t require or tell you but I know deep inside in a teacher’s heart a sincere thank you would mean a lot. By the way, be creative in conveying your message. I understand that you might have some disagreements, heartaches or bad feelings at times or maybe at all times but then again imbibe a lover’s heart. Let your relationship with your adviser be the foundation on how to do things better.
Lower years, take note that you are the only high school in the Philippines and the only campus with the Pfizer grant. This is a legacy of your manongs and manangs. You cannot fail them for making the best research that will pour more money for the school. If you don’t know, the Pfizer grants us this because they acknowledge how great the research program was and is. Now, the fate of Research Program WILL be what in your time?
Do I miss you? I do not. I repeat, I do not miss you. “Miss” is a word if I use to convey would be an understatement.
Research cannot be encapsulated in one message. It is like love but once you are into it then that is the only time you will understand. In love, you open your heart but in Research you open everything and all possibilities. To the graduating class, may you open more possibilities and to the lower years, may this excite you to keep on opening or embark on opening all possibilities.
Dyaamata which means “see you soon!”

Guess who I met in Tokyo..
Meeting Macho after almost 12 years since he left the Philippines is next to impossible due to the population density of Tokyo with more or less 10 million people, I don't have a cellular phone, we are not friends in any social network, he changed his email address, and he did not know I am here in Japan. But how in the world did we meet?
Call it destiny but a Nihonjin friend happened to meet him and Macho mentioned Iloilo. This Nihonjin prompted to ask him if he knows me as if I am a prominent figure in Iloilo City. Macho handed his calling card and we exchanged emails and agreed to meet today.
Well, we had a great time reminiscing the good old days in Regional Science Teaching Center at West Visayas State University where he used to work as Japan Overseas Volunteer and I worked as a student assistant.
This incident made me reflect on something unfathomable. When statistical probability cannot explain the matter of chance, we cannot help but think that it was meant to be. I believe God wants me to be happier today. Second, if two friends are destined to meet after long separation how much more lovers? Someday, someone will come along our way that God wants us to be with forever.

What scientists and politicians have to say after Villar's answer to Pagsubok and the brouhaha thereafter?
The following is
the interview transcript on GMANews "Pagsubok"
WINNIE MONSOD: Can you reconcile itong seeming disconnect between your desire to help the poor at pagpanig niyo sa mga may-ari ng education institution na gustong isara ng technical nursing committee at ng CHED?
CYNTHIA VILLAR: Hindi naman ganoong ang istorya noon. Ang nangyari noon ay binigyan nila ng permit 'yung mga schools to open ng CHED. Tapos gusto nilang ipasara. Nag-invest na 'yung mga may-ari ng schools sa kanilang facilities. And then, sinasabi nila na kaya nila gusto ipasara dahil walang tertiary hospital where they can train. Ang sabi naman namin noon na hindi kami kumukontra sa CHED. Ang sinasabi namin kasi tiningnan namin 'yung syllabus at courses na kukunin nila at nakita namin na after lang sa third year kailangan nila 'yung tertiary hospital so ni-request namin na hindi isara 'yung pre-nursing schools.
WINNIE MONSOD: Bakit bumaba pa ang nurses na na-employ sa abroad kasi hindi sila qualified? Bakit nag-resign ang Technical Education Committee after 7 months in office?
CYNTHIA VILLAR: ‘Yung pagre-resign po ni [Fr. Rolando V. De la Rosa] is a personal quarrel with the owner of the school. Medyo personal po iyon. Pero 'yung amin po, 'yung sinasabi po namin sa kanila na actually hindi naman kailangan ang nurse ay matapos ng BSN kasi itong ating mga nurses ay gusto lang nila maging room nurse, o sa Amerika o sa other countries, ay mag-aalaga lang sila. Hindi naman kailangan na ganoon sila kagaling.
After the brouhaha, Mrs Villar issued an apology saying..
CYNTHIA VILLAR: The 30-second limit for me to answer the question posed on the news program was too short to give the complete details surrounding the issue. I hope that this statement will clarify the issue. I am sorry if it has created confusion. Thank you.
STOP WATCH: So, is it my fault now? Why don't you own your shortcomings rather than put the blame on me?
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: Do not ruin an apology with an excuse.
CHARLES DARWIN: An American monkey, after getting drunk on brandy, would never touch it again, and thus is much wiser than most (wo)men. Do not ever touch or pick on nurses again.
EINSTEIN: Mrs. Villar, time dilation is only possible when your talking is approaching the speed of light.
NIELS BOHR: Learn from me. Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an affirmation, but as a question.
MARK TWAIN: Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.
CONG. GMA: Follow me, "I am sorry."
CORAZON AQUINO: Forgiveness without really being sorry is not forgiveness at all. It is simply tolerating a wrong doing.
NINOY: You, a Filipino, are not worth voting for.
NANAY: Indi na pagdugangi ang sala sang isa pa gid ka sala.

Has Daniel Padilla been kissed by the fangirl?
Before you read, make you have watched the video yourself. Yes, he was indeed kissed by the fangirl. At 1:12 you will notice that Daniel had to wipe his nose or maybe an upper part of his lips. I would like to assume that it was a smack because why he had to wipe it off. There must be a saliva left, right? There must be much because he wiped it off again.
Below is a video capture which made all Kathniel fans hate the fangirl.
However, Daniel also kissed her. Newton's third law of motion can justify that you cannot kiss without being kissed. By the way from 1:05 onward, have you noticed that he was no longer singing? It was a pre recorded song after all and we are all fooled by this. Besides, he allowed himself into this situation to put all the blame to the girl.

Hindi ba talaga kailangang ganoon kagaling ang mga nurse?
You can view how she said it by clicking the video below.
In other words, it boils down to mediocrity.
This is the response of Mrs. C. Villar after drawing a flak from mostly nurses.
“The 30-second limit for me to answer the question posed on the news program was too short to give the complete details surrounding the issue. I hope that this statement will clarify the issue. I am sorry if it has created confusion. Thank you.”
This is what benjamin Franklin has to say.
“Never ruin an apology with an excuse.”
