The Fam and Pwends


In order from left to right; Xianne(cousin), Christopher(cousin), Marieta(mother), Cristeta(Aunt), Jacky(cousin's spouse), Shaun(godchild) and ME! A Family often chaotic but still, I love them with all of what is left of my heart hehe. 😡


Special mention to my fat, crazy, and especially fat sister. I love you too. πŸ˜‚


  This is me now and I look like a 30 year old mess. I'm really conscious about my apperance, don't know why. Enough about my appearance. Let's jump right into my highschool friends.

   
These guys made my last junior highschool year into paradise. The "Fam" or "Team Likod" made my life much more brighter. Filled with antics and other goofy stuff; pretty lucky to have met them.
They have been there in good and bad times and our bond did not falter. Especially for our mother; the one in the middle, stood for us when everyone thought of us as the bad guys of our classroom. 
I love those guys with all of my 'sort of' heart. πŸ˜πŸ˜»πŸ˜πŸ‘‘

Now that I'm studying at STI Sta. Rosa I had the chance to meet new friends.


Life in STI got easier when I met these beautiful ladies. Very kind and Intelligent too. They are a friendly bunch with outstanding personalities. Hate seeing them turn into someone like me HAHA.
Having a lot of friends is just a social status, having real friends even though few; is better.
I've been with them for only 3 months now but they surely left a mark in my 'sort of' heart. 😍

Special mention to my bestfriend, Sophia Arielle Escuadro Ong πŸ˜…


Thanks for being an angel to this demon. You will always be my best bro. πŸ’ͺ  We've been friends for 10 years and still going strong. She taught me how to be a normal human; kudos to that. Friends are key components to one's happiness. They are there to help in your bad times, also there when you achieve something. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on. 😭😭


HEHEHEHEHEHE


DÉCHIRURE RÉPUTATION



The "lucky to be born in the 90's" kid.


Don't mind the picture above. It's just there to be a reminder on how puberty works haha. πŸ˜‚ So as of 2017 i'm 17 years old but looks like a 30 year old. I live in Silang, Cavite. Specifically in Verona subd. I'm at my 1st senior highschool year at STI Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Taking the track STEM to pursue my interest in becoming a computer programmer. Okay, let's go way back to my elementary days. I studied at Infant Jesus Montessori Center(IJMC) when I was in elementary.


See these?  Does that kid look normal to you? Kids had cringey photos but this kid took it to a whole new level.  πŸ˜­When I was a kid, I spent all my time playing video games and watching youtubers. Which led me to acquire certain characteristics like mini outbursts and talking to myself in a creepy way. If I had the chance to go back in time, I would slap myself to keep this kid from turning into a lunatic. I also liked to dance when I was a kid. It was a way for me to cool my thoughts, because I was a living disaster; a catastrophe of a kid. Left ruins on places that I have been left to, unsupervised of course. But other than that I was just a pain in the buttocks for anyone who had the chance to take care of me. So that's a brief explanation of who I was and don't bother to ask what I am now. 😊








Being a Vending machine model and advertising floor level signs. May your reputation rest in peace. 😒

The Theory of Forms

The Theory of Forms
Plato
Biography
The purpose of my analysis paper is to evaluate and examine Plato’s meaningful existence. Let’s start with his origins. The date of birth is undetermined for sources show his birth could have been in the years 423-428 BC in Athens, Greece. He is a well-known philosopher in Classical Greece and also the founder of the Academy in Athens; the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. He is considered as one of the most vital figure in the advancement of philosophy. Remarkably his work has survived 2,400 years. One of his oldest manuscripts dates back to 895 AD which is 1,100 years after his death.

Philosophy
He has a lot of philosophies. The most common is the Theory of Forms. The Theory of Forms states that there are 2 two realms of existence; Material realm and Transcendent realm. A form could be an abstract property or quality. These realms have different principles. The Material realm is fixed and unable to change while the Transcendent realm is free from this restriction. This theory was meant to answer 2 problems; “How can human beings live happily if they live in a world that is always changing?” and “How can the world appear to be both permanent and changing?”. A form that you perceive or think about that could not exist in space and time thus it can be called Transcendent. Take a ball for an example, it is round and roundness can be called as form. Roundness is not meant to be for a ball only, but anything that is round. This means roundness is transcendent because it can be subjected to anything. Forms are also pure. This means properties separated are pure from all other properties. A material object, such as a basketball, has many properties: roundness, ballness, orangeness, elasticity, etc. These are all put together to make up this individual basketball. A form is just one of these properties. In virtue of the fact that all objects in this world are copies of the forms, this pure forms causes things to exist in the world. Forms are also systematically interconnected. They are connected to each other and to material objects in an intricate system that reflects both the way they flow from the form of the good and the process that we must go through in working our way up to knowledge of the forms.

Analysis
The theory imposes that form is an essence of something, a transcendent entity that is perfect, immutable, indivisible. The things of our everyday world are imperfect copies of the forms; they are multiple, but the forms themselves are one. Plato believed that Forms exist as essences in a transcendental, or ‘superlunar’ world. They are apprehensible rather than sensible, and constitute the objects of our knowledge. The main problem of this theory is that how can a form intertwine with its imperfect copy? It’s very hard to analyze how a particular could be incarnated with the form. Take for example the Form cat, how could it be infused in each individual cat while remaining indivisible and one?

Conclusion
I conclude that even though Plato thought of it very clearly, the theory still had loop holes. I understand the idea on how things came from a certain entity that would exhibit a certain likeness but if that was the case all things would always look alike. The original or transcendent form would always have a replica, one after another in a never ending cycle. Come to think of it if the Form would always be one and indivisible, anything that would come from its likeness would be itself making it divisible and a replica. Immersion of species, entities, object, etc. would be void if Forms were true. Take us humans as examples, if a form is used to make us we would end up looking like each other. Thus making this theory rejected through the eyes of his fellow philosophers.
