Exploring Puerto Princesa. [Starfish Island + Pandan Island] [PhotoBlog]

Whole day island hopping at Honda Bay, and our first stop is what they call "Starfish Island" [though I didn't see even one starfish.. or 'seastar'..]

Then we had lunch at Pandan Island [and probably stayed there the longest.] and of course, 'photoshoot' with my friends. ♥♥♥

We just love the frame! ♥

Jai w/ the girls.

Candid shot. [Bits & Cha, while waiting for their set. Naks!]

Unfollowing.

Ilang buwan narin issue 'to sa ibang mga kaibigan ko. "Ang sama naman kasi kung i-unfollow mo diba?" Kung sabagay, mismong tayo nga, kapag may nag-unfollow satin, we can't help but wonder why, then medyo slight tampo, then unfollow back na agad kung sino yun. May mga iba nga, talagang 'tweeting-their-rage-out' dahil sa inis nila na may nag-unfollow sa kanila.

And since I'm bored, I Googled some stuff about blahs, including this Twitter unfollowing issue [Just for the sake of it. Haha! Nothing serious naman on my part.] and this is what I found.. [Yung may impact at least, and very objective/unbiased.]

"Seems like it would be easier to just unfollow them and if they wanted to know why, comment on it tell them why. I’m assuming they are doing something that annoys you, such as tweeting incessantly or talking about things that don’t interest you. Twitter is supposed to be a casual thing, without an implied obligation to follow people that don’t interest you. Unfollowing isn’t insulting in the way that refusing to accept their phone calls would be."

So there. Hindi naman pala insulting eh, casual lang dapat sa Twitter. Hahaha! Anu ba? Nag-blog pa ko dahil dito, lame! Yep, I am bored. That's why. :p

So guys, if you're annoyed/pissed off/irritated by my Twitter blahs/rants/raves/whines/etc. then feel free to unfollow me.. No offense will be taken.. Seriously. :) Because I'm warning you, I won't back down on my 'everything-must-be-tweeted' attitude. HAH! :p

Sa Kanya.

Namulat ako at ngayo'y nag-iisa

Pagkatapos ng ulan
Bagama't nakalipas na ang mga sandali
Ay nagmumuni kung ako'y nagwagi
Pinipilit mang sabihin na ito'y wala sa akin
Ngunit bakit hanggang ngayon, nagdurugo pa rin

Sa kanya pa rin babalik sigaw, ng damdamin
Sa kanya pa rin sasaya, bulong ng puso ko
Kung buhay pa ang alaala ng ating nakaraan
Ang pagmamahal at panahon alay pa rin sa kanya

At sa hatinggabi ay nag-iisa na lang
Ay minamasdan ang larawan mo
At ngayo'y bumalik nang siya'y kapiling pa
Alaala ng buong magdamag
Kung sakali mang isipin na ito'y wala sa akin
Sana'y dinggin ang tinig kong nag-iisa pa rin

Sa kanya pa rin babalik sigaw, ng damdamin
Sa kanya pa rin sasaya, bulong ng puso ko
Kung buhay pa ang alaala ng ating nakaraan
Ang pagmamahal at panahon alay pa rin sa kanya

Sa kanya..

Learned Helplessness.

Learned helplessness, as a technical term in animal psychology and related human psychology, means a condition of a human person or an animal in which it has learned to behave helplessly, even when the opportunity is restored for it to help itself by avoiding an unpleasant or harmful circumstance to which it has been subjected. Learned helplessness theory is the view that clinical depression and related mental illnesses may result from a perceived absence of control over the outcome of a situation.

Learned helplessness can contribute to poor health when people neglect diet, exercise, and medical treatment, falsely believing they have no power to change. The more people perceive events as uncontrollable and unpredictable, the more stress they experience, and the less hope they feel about making changes in their lives. Young adults and middle-aged parents with a pessimistic explanatory style are often more likely to suffer from depression. People with a pessimistic explanatory style tend to be poor at problem-solving and cognitive restructuring, and also tend to demonstrate poor job satisfaction and interpersonal relationships in the workplace. Those with a pessimistic explanatory style also tend to have weakened immune systems, and not only have increased vulnerability to minor ailments (e.g. cold, fever) and major illness (e.g. heart attack, cancers), but also have a less effective recovery from health problems.

Learned helplessness can also be a motivational problem. Individuals who have failed at tasks in the past conclude erroneously that they are incapable of improving their performance. This might set children behind in academic subjects and dampen their social skills. Children with learned helplessness typically fail academic subjects, and are less intrinsically motivated than others. They may use learned helplessness as an excuse or a shield to provide self-justification for school failure. Additionally, describing someone as having learned to be helpless can serve as a reason to avoid blaming him or her for the inconveniences experienced. In turn, the student will give up trying to gain respect or advancement through academic performance.
