Mind over matter, I don’t mind and you don’t matter





While we often think of our bodies and minds as two distinct entities, it turns out they are much more entwined than we might assume. A change of mindset may help us a lot. Care to read my story?

I don’t socialize; I just want to be alone where I can be myself. I don’t mind if I have no friends, besides, they don’t matter. I used to be a happy-go-lucky, friendly, and viewed life as light as a feather. But everything changes, nothing lasts forever… scary right? I’ve been through a lot and it’s bugging me, but right now? I don’t mind at all. 

When I first encountered the subject Differential Calculus, I struggled so much; I became studious, and passed some exams. Releasing of grades came, I was confident that I’ll pass the subject but the only words that I uttered were “holy cow”. After that day, I locked myself in my room, I was so devastated, so angry but then, I realized grades are just numbers, it may change situations but I don’t mind because numbers can’t decide my future. 

When I was 4th year high school, I experienced so much love and because of love, I felt so much pain. He was my first boyfriend, I felt so happy, and everyday seems like a fairy tale. Whenever I looked, his face is the only thing that registers in my mind. Every time I think of him, my heart skips a beat. I asked myself, is it really possible? Am I really physically attracted to him? Or maybe I’m just fascinated by his charm? I don’t know, I really don’t know. But all strings went loose, he cheated. I cried, I was confused and just heaved a sigh. I can be in some of the happiest situations and my mind drifts off to him. It’s hard, it’s just been hard. I don’t know, I keep thinking I am going to get better and when that time comes, I will smile. Pain? I don’t mind, it’s just normal to feel pain. You’ll feel pain because you loved, so there’s no regret in feeling that way. 

I don’t mind being single. As long as I can find myself happy with my family, I’m sure that I’ll be fine. But then again… I just laugh out of frustration. It seems like God was angry then threw bad lucks and unfortunately, I embraced it all.
Okay, okay, I get it now. I’m done dealing with it. Okay, life? You win, you always win and you always have. I’m tired… everyone left me, when will you stop?
I’m tired pretending that I am fine, that everything’s okay, that I don’t mind… don’t you think it’s too much? I can handle the pain, the stress you’re always giving me, but, why?
I just stared at the corner of my room, everything is pitch black. I opened my cell phone and checked if I have a message received. Then I saw a picture… a picture that saved me from the darkness. “FEAR, there are two possible meanings. Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise” I chose the latter and smiled. Okay life? Whatever challenge you’ll throw, it doesn’t matter and you don’t matter. I’ve got a power in me and that is to be mature and always think, Mind Over Matter.

THE REIGNING GLORY OF PRES. DUTERTE!

President Rodrigo “Rody” Roa Duterte is the 16th president of the Philippines. He is a Filipino lawyer and he is the first Mindanaoan president of the country. He is “the Punisher”, an alleged vigilante group called Davao Death Squad has been tied to Duterte by human rights organizations and are responsible for the extrajudicial killings of suspected drug dealers. On May 9, 2016, Duterte won the Philippine presidential election. His domestic policy has focused on combating illegal drug trade by initiating a nationwide drug war.

Let us know more about our president. Did you know that he was expelled twice? Yes, that’s true. He was kicked out of Ateneo de Davao University due to misconduct. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science at the Lyceum of the Philippines in Manila. He also obtained a law degree from San Beda College of Law, still in Manila. Eventually, he took the bar exam and passed it. He also finds his term in the Congress as boring. He cares for indigenous and tribal people. He supports LGBT rights saying “Everyone deserves to be happy”. He’s so hands on to his work, he usually drive around Davao city twice a week to ensure things are well taken care of. He is persistent to every word that he say and actually mean them. He has a kind heart, in fact he was the first local government official to visit Tacloban city and arrived earlier than Pres. Aquino. He is a leader who wants delinquent people to be punished, a leader who is fearless, honest and confident. He is the strong leader with a soft heart, yet, an impatient man who wants high-impact results. Guess what? He is the best option we’ve got.

University of Mindanao
Date:                     Sept. 05, 2011
To:                          All librarians
From:                    A. Gotico, Dean of Accountancy
Subject:               Obeying the policies inside the library

Lately I have noticed that the students in the university often eat inside the library. This practice presents a problem: the nature of the library itself is slowly vanishing. Eating inside the library is prohibited and is obviously one of the rules and regulation of the university.

Hereinafter, would you please form an orientation and emphasize the rules and regulations of the university to every UMian for them to be guided? Thank you so much.
