Dealing with Problems by Lourenzo

  1.  What are the different ways on how people deal with life challenges?  People are not born the same, we are different and all of us faces problems and challenges that are unique and special to all of us. The short film reflects about LIfe and how people solve and deal with their problems in their own ways. Some may deal with their problems by going on headfirst, some may do to resolve their challenges on a rational way like planning and thinking before they act and others may simply let time and everything to pass. Different challenges comes with different solutions. But the universal answer in all of these challenges is that challenges will pass as long as do you an effort to accomplish the problems and struggles of your life. People have different challenges, and these trials are meant for people to learn and to become their better selves.  2.  Relate the short film to your own experience of dealing with challenges? I loved the video, and it really reflec...

"Think Before You Click!" | Lourenzo Manimtim

  “Think before you click” this is the concept I always keep in my mind whenever I post in social media. I know that whenever I post there will be people who will see, comment and like my posts. And in this scenario, people will build an imagination of who I am and create an identity to describe myself. You are what you post in social media, your actions and posts reflect who you are. People will judge based on what they see, watch, and observe. That is why in social media, I am reserved and disciplined in my posts. I only post what I want and what is needed to post. I keep my conduct online and post only good and respectful things about myself. Like the usual posts I do are my achievements, successful engagement and my family. I like attention and of course fame that is why I post in social media. But I am very selective and keep my posts benign and strictly observed so there will be no problems. I see social media as an art, and like art, art is the expression that immortalized a...

PLATO ABOUT THE SELF | By: Lourenzo Manimtim, Hannah Dollente & Jaycee Bartolome

  PLATO SELF   MEMBERS: Manimtim, Lourenzo Gabrielle O.                      Dollente, Hannah Camille A.                     Jaycee Aldrich B. Bartolome                         1.      Do you agree with what (Plato) has concluded about the self? Why ?   LOURENZO: One of the greatest ideas that I like in Plato’s Philosophy is the “World of Forms and Senses”, which argues that Forms, is the perfect ideal world. And senses, or reality, is simply but an imperfect copy of the perfect world. This idea implies the division of reality based on what we perceived that there is perfect world somewhere parallel on what our eyes see and body experience i...

A Letter From Odysseus

  To my one and only love, It is cold and a lonely night, but my heart never falters or fright, for my love is far stronger more than the roaring seas and the mightiest breeze. Though the wind may blow, in places far I know. My soul lingers your warmth, for my love’s loyalty lies only to the woman I truly heart. I will! I will come home! Time may have set us apart, but my love will never part. Penelope! My dearest heart, my journey is still far and long, none knows how it lasts! Wait for me! Till’ death do us part.

Communication Reflection (Purposive Communication Class) | Lourenzo Manimtim 1st Year AB Political Science

  I thought... I thought that communication is very simple, where it just takes place a sender and a receiver to make a communication successful. Whenever people engage in a transaction of information through words. I thought that I know many things about communication but there is a lot more to learn. I know the basics, but this subject just delves much deeper on what communication and its purpose. I also thought that communication is just all about talking. I thought that we only communicate when we talk. I thought that communication is always intended and never realize that communication can happen even when we are not looking. I thought that communication is only between me and you. I learned that... I learned that communication is complex process, more than just a relationship between a sender and a receiver. There are more things in the process such as channel, message, barriers, and the feedback. I learned that in communication there are many ...

Political Science: Standford Prison Experiment in Relation to Politics by: Lourenzo Manimtim

  (1)    How would you relate the Stanford Prison Experiment to our discussions regarding politics, power, and authority? If people are given power, naturally the person will feel powerful. He will have authority, an appointed power in which gives the capability to do what they want. And this natural reaction to power to people is what reflected the results of the Stanford Prison Experiment. The guards are given complete authority from small to the vilest actions and the prisoners are the ones being oppressed.   Then in the essence of the project the prison guards show what happens when people are given power to do things freely. A quotation from the experiment says that “If people are given power, then they have the capability to be evil” to overpower others and get the feeling they’re on top that they are higher and will have more authority. In relation to politics, power and authority is always at play. Afterall politics is the study of direction and contest of ...

Introduksiyon Ang akda ni Francisco Sionil Jose, isang National Artist , na pinamagatang Why are we shallow? Ay isa sa kanyang mga maimpluwensyang sulatin na pumapatungkol sa  mga tunay na pangyayari sa mga iba’t ibang mga kontemporaryong isyu na nararanasan dito sa ating bansa. Ibinunyag ng kanyang akda ang mga mga dahilan kung bakit ang mga Pilipino ay naging mababaw. At ang isa sa mga dahilan na kanyang mga nabanggit mula sa kaniyang sulatin ay ang kulang at mababang kalidad na Edukasyon, lalong lalo na sa larangan ng pagtuturo ng kultura at kasaysayan sa kabataan. Ang edukasyon ay isang responsibilidad at pribilehiyo para sa bawat isa. Ito ang nagsisilbing pundasyon at lakas ng isang tao sa kanyang pagsubok sa mga laban at hirap ng buhay. Napakahalaga at napakaimportante ng edukasyon lalong lalo na sa mga kabataan. Dahil ang edukasyon ay ang magsisilbing gabay sa mga kabataan hindi lamang sa pagtahak para sa laban ng buhay subalit pati na rin sa pag-alala at pagkilala ng ka...

What is Love? By: Lourenzo Manimtim

          Many ask what is love? Does love come at first sight? Is love a fateful encounter? or perhaps love is a fairy tale where your destiny is already settled. But what is love really? According to an article by PhiltSTAR Life, there are stages that people mistake for love and those stages are “Lust” and “Infatuation”. When you feel like your in a process of attraction with an sex like you are bringing up a desire to do something sensual with an opposite sex that is not love but rather it is called as Lust or your “Sex Drive”. And if you feel like the person you desire is the Mr or Mrs. Right, like they are the perfect embodiment of what you want and you feel like that person is definitely for you and imagining your life together as perfect and living happily ever after that is not love rather is called Infatuation or Romantic Attraction, the stage of attraction where you get intimate and always see the other person you desire in heart shaped lenses.

The Adventures of Eddie Maintenance: A Melancholy | By: L.G. Writings (POETRY)

    Snowy Mountains at its Peak, Eddie falls in its sheet, Though travels in this tundral plains, To find snow bears no cold,   Pain it throbs, Squeeze thine left-side knee, A painful realization, That heaven relieves thine decay,   Flickering lights down the narrow ridge, Landscape, in its beauty, Heaven it is described, As he travelled forth in this seeming place, A Diner called “EAT” come in display,       Approaching though with thine place, He found people that bears no face, Until fate calls and destiny – unfortunately it comes, A Dark memory, A Nostalgic tragedy,   In the last booth, on the right-hand corner, Sat his father long he hates, With fury and wrath, That dwells until today,   The damage of neglect, The damage of violence, Eddie’s Past, made him, What he is Today,
