Costumer is [ not ] Always Right

     I believe that the hardest jobs are those jobs included in the field which requires communicating or social skills. Those who need to talk to different types of people with diverse philosophies in life. All you need is to have dozens of patience. Some are wise enough but some are narrow minded, and in that case what you need to know is how to understand certain circumstances or how to deal with it.

     Costumer is always right? I don't think that's true. Setting an example.

     A lady with her little son holding his toy car went inside a fast food chain. Inside there is a janitor cleaning at the side on the floor where food spilled by other costumer unintentionally. After cleaning he put a caution saying "Wet Floor". The mother proceed on the counter to order food. She left her son on one of the table near the wet floor. While she order, her son drop his toy on the wet part of the floor. When the little boy try to get his toy, accidentally the boy slipped on the floor and fell. The boy then start crying because his of his hand fell hard he get mild fracture, which capture the attentions of other costumers and staffs. The mother went to her child and get him up. With her anger she tend to blame the janitor for being careless about their costumers. She then ask where is the manager to explain about the inconvenience. The manager explain the side of the janitor but instead of understanding she threaten the company that she will complain to the main branch of the said fast food chain. The argue last for minutes because the women denied that it is not their fault and insisted that she will only stop only when the manager fired the janitor. She believe the principle of the rule "Costumer is always right" therefore it makes her think that she is right and it is her right to be obeyed for whatever she wanted. At the end, the management banded the woman in that specific branch of food chain but before that for their care to their costumers they paid medical expenses of their son.

     In that case I believe that it is not right to accuse others for a mistake which they do not make knowing that you are the costumer doesn't give you the ticket be right. We can say that as much as possible we should understand the costumers as much as we can and consider their parts but not at all time. Their mistakes must not be tolerated. Yes they are the one who pay for the service of the staff but that will never erase the fact that the employee also had their rights because he/she is a human.

 "We are intended to be made unfinished". We still have the needs and wants that we continuously seek. We are cannot predict our fortune for we use to create it. God given us freewill which we could use to  choose our own decisions. Whether it is beneficial or could possibly harm. Those things are the proof that "nobody's perfect" which contradict the idea of "costumer is always right" because if costumer is always right, therefore from the word itself they don't commit any mistakes. They are pure and clean and holy. But there's no such thing as perfect in this world. If costumer is always right, then to be a costumer you must be perfect. We are not perfect so we cannot be considered as a costumer. Then who is the costumer?

 

Equality; Opposing Nature Functionalities

    I was raise in a generation wherein women are now given a chance to have access in different aspects of the society including the implemented laws which given them the opportunity to vote and at the same time to run in any position in the government. Women were now allowed to work in companies unlike before which they are only allowed in their house and be a wife to their husband. But on

My Weaknesses/Limitations and Strength/Possibilities

My Limitations/Weaknesses and Possibilities/Strengths
(Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Social, Intellectual)
What are my Limitations/Weaknesses?

     There's no such thing as perfect. All of us had our own limitations/weaknesses. And as a human person I do also have my limitations/weaknesses which i can use either to help or to harm myself depending on how i manage to cope with it. Maybe it can be a rock to block wrong ways or a stepping stones in reaching my dreams.

     Enumerating my limitations/weaknesses, in physical aspect I am not physically fit or healthy. I easily get tired and i'm not that confident with my physical appearance. Emotionally, I easily get angry over silly things such asking me questions again and again most especially when i'm busy or stressed. I also have hard time time forgiving others whenever they made mistakes which hurt me mainly because of my past experiences. Most especially I am afraid to perform in front of the crowd (Stage fright). I have low self-esteem/confidence. And the common weakness we have is being afraid of heights or cockroaches. In spiritual, due my laziness and short perseverance, it already affect my spiritual life wherein sometimes i didn't attend our church and forget to do my devotions which makes me mad at myself and feel guilty. But in my social aspect, I do not entertain strangers/persons who i didn't know and that makes other's impression to me turn to be a snobbier or introvert because I feel awkward whenever I met someone who I can't relate with. I also avoid people I hate. Lastly in terms of my intellectual limitations, I had struggles in memorizing things and I always lose my focus. Adding my laziness and "ningas cugon" personalty make it worst. I hate math the same way math math me.

     I also treat some of my strength as my weaknesses for example my family, my strength which I can depend on at the same time my weakness when the time come and they are gone.

What are my Possibilities/Strength?

On the other hand, I have my possibilities/strength which makes me stronger. In physical aspect, I don't have diseases or illnesses. I also don't have my disabilities which could have great impact on my possibilities and "cans". In terms of  emotional aspects, I always want to give back whenever someone help me. I don't want them to be disappointed. I am also a happy person and always try to find ways to be happy by choosing right decisions as much as possible. On my spiritual, I am God fearing person. It makes me incredibly happy whenever I attend church and when I feel God is watching and smiling. As much as I can I wanted to obey God's commandments. In social, i am friendly knowing that I have a lot of friends and whenever someone wanted me to be his/her friend that I know, I try to entertain. As what I said earlier I want to give back someone's help. I don't want disappointments either to me or to them. Last bur not the least in intellectual capabilities. I may not be that smart student ideally, but I know belong to the average and can able be cope up to our topics and lessons. I love trivia, logic, riddles and etc.

     But after all, I consider God as my ultimate strength because with Him, Nothing is impossible.

Aime Kuel

You're my living inspiration.

A wisdom beneath this labyrinth.
Still stand on this blue marble,
In perpetual state of flux.

How shattered am I!

This burden's too dark.

It's been aeon since I saw St. Elmo's Fire,

floats around but only outright Luna seen watching me.

I'm barely breathing,

Tick-tack but hands ain't never be blocked.

Can never be countered back.
Acceptance is a must.

But it's you!
Thee who rip the culture etched, withdraw my sanity.

Sans hair, but never hinder.

Shame is only base on standards.

Gold strings only are for stuff,
glitter on beholder's eye.
But bona fide luster reflect underneath surface,
radiance scatter, refracting through helping hands. 

Lots of thorns she'd encounter.
Around where she lies one by one cede life.

"No, that white coat won't made him a God.

Fortune never lay on a piece of paper."

"I am fine...indeed.

Good mind produce good foresight, seeing bio aesthetics.

Warrior of mine,

barricade against pinches on thy Feb."

"River run...once,
opened heart's faucet,
filled up my brain and leak upon the soul windows.
Drowned upon flood of former.

"Wrapped wrath cover,

but wisdom had unzipped.

Though vein's crimsons are infested.

My invictus spirit ain't."

"We  ain't tots no more,
Tears won't flush it. 

yet, rather seek ye first the Light,

It's He who challenge."

"Purpose is to strengthen,

Not to be bent. 

To develop me not to wreck.

What seems hurting is an armor fitting on my soul."

Therefore I realize,

that pebble i'd stumble make me fall'

is just a tip size of her rock.

I ain't pass all those blocks so no don't wept.

Brilliant is she!

With baldness, yet no regrets.

It is my will where it contingent

 Surpass everything for He is Love.

Scripture where she depends on,

Nirvana is her fate.

Only a voyage,

I won't quit.

Bad Decisions

     There is no best way to live. Every individual had their own ways on how to live their life to the fullest which depend on their varied perceptions in life. We only live once and it is too short to be wasted. Therefore we should seize it or what they're saying  "Carpe Diem!/Seize the Day." But we cannot escape the fact that we are imperfect, an unfinished being. We have our own strengths and weaknesses which either an advantage or limit our possibilities in life. One of this includes "Bad Decisions". Decisions we consider the right thing to do but unfortunately ended up regretting that it happened.

     As a typical teenager, I often had 

Republicans Vs. Federalists

     There are various ways in ruling a specific country. Different ways had their varieties of advantage and disadvantages depending on their strategies, rules/implemented policies, constitutional laws, and other which are dedicated on certain circumstances or national issues. Besides, how they manage their country also engrave on their culture and tradition. One of these examples is the Democracy/Republicans and Federalism. These two forms of Government had diverse tactics and perceptions which vary from each other marking their distinctiveness arguing what’s the best way in ruling the country but still might as well had characteristics compliment in some aspects.

     Let’s start with democracy. Democracy (Greek word “democratia”-rule of the people…(demos) “people” (kratus) ”power” or ”rule” is a form of government in which power rest with the people, who either create policies directly or elect leaders to do so on their behalf. The democracy describes a small number of related forms of government and also a political philosophy. Even though there is no specific, universally accepted definition of “Democracy”, there are two principles that any definitions of democracy includes; equality and freedom. These principles are reflected by all citizens being equal before the law and having equal access to power. Additionally, all citizens are able to enjoy legitimize freedom and liberties, which are usually protected by a constitution. (Ex. Philippines)

On the other hand, Federalism use to describe a system of government in which sovereignty is constitutionally divided between a central government authority and constituent political units (like states and provinces). Federalism is a system in which the power to govern is shared between national and central (states) government, creating what is often called federation. Proponents are often called federalist. (Ex. USA).

     Base on the definition given, at some points both government had their distinct advantage the same way as having their disadvantages which both of them either contradict or compliment.

Federalism Vs Democrats

     In democracy, the set of politicians may be composed of common people whoever pass qualifications which are elected through plurality process wherein the person who received majority of the votes in a set of either national or provincial election will be declared as the winner and voting system requires only low qualifications which enable common people to be legally registered as a voter which potentially may cause several inconveniences such as voting and electoral scams or vote buying, political dynasty due to their prominence, revolutions/rally (may also be considered advantage for human rights depending on the rate of violence it causes), corruption mainly cause by lack of transparency between government transactions and the people, high rate of illiteracy. Unlike in Federalism, only elite/rich people are allowed to be in politics, same as voters and the election takes place only between the cabinet party wherein officials tend to be the voters to elect which candidate they will place on a certain position such as prime minister or other either national which hold the entire country or central which only capable in ruling specific state. The constitution requires high qualifications which do not give opportunities to other common (specially poor) people to be either the voter or the politician itself.But behind those positive reflections of the Federalism, there were also disadvantages such as possibilities in biases against electing officials by the government authorities, inequality between rich and poor, competing states which results to a "raising to the bottom" situations. (Ex. Lower  Tax), the more the state propose beneficial offers, the more residents and entrepreneurs tend to invest and live on that particular state. (this may also considered as an advantage where qualities of specific state use to improve their how the manage their place in order to gain pleasurable feedback from their residents. And the same time favorable in residents and entrepreneur's side.). Conflicts between laws/policies or regulations implemented by the national government which opposite on what policies acting/implemented by constituent political units (province/states) are also one of its major trouble.


     A lot of their ideas are counterpart to one another mainly in terms of developing own countries. Arguments about it still unresolved. Oppositions between each other due to their diverse philosophy in life. Democracy focuses on human rights, uneducated/common people (what composes them) and believe that national debt is unhealthy in contradiction to what Federalism's stand. Believing that the more the national debt is, the healthier the country is, the same way as the national bank is a necessity for it plays a big role in supporting business, commercial industries and etc (federalism is merely composed of landowners, entrepreneurs, elite, and others are came from poor family). And unlike democracy which believe that high tariff is unfair to people, Federalists believe that it is the vice versa what's right.

     In-spite of their oppositions and contradictions, both parties still have in common which is "Liberty". Believing that after all, the most important thing is the liberty/freedom of the people.
