Third Wave

I am a dreamer. Last night I dream my most elusive dreams.

I can’t reveal when was my last casual sexual encounter. It was gruesome yet pleasantly and superficially exciting. Until now, the casual encounter with a horny user tickle my lower extremities. I entertain the idea of casual sexual encounters but never love it the way I love the sexual encounter I had with the most beautiful creature whom I think I love.

My sexual encounter with the one I think I love just exist in my imagination.

From deep slumber, I was awakened wet. I switched on the light and scribble to my journal a night’s dream that keep on flashing even after the cold yet erotic dawning of February. I can share here a part of it but not the entire transcript of glaringly vivid and graphic details of another very elusive sexual encounter (but this time, only as a dream).

I saw her smiling - a smile that captivated rugged spirit of masculinity. Her eyes were tempting and silently trasmitting electrostatic message only both of us can decipher. I kissed her - a passionate kiss of newly weds. And there I stood before her - both of us revealing the innocence of the newborn; nothing on, nothing to hide on. I had shaky knees as I stared her curves and goddess stature.

I was gazing her perfection like the way I should when I buy a fertile tract where I could plant my fruit. A minute or two of gazing before I claimed ownership of her. I could not wait for another second to possess her. In turn, she could not even wait longer to submit her softness to the robust force I had.

Both of us were panting as God’s air was not enough for us to breath. We made our own world - a world like no other.

No one can tell how long the Earth’s most pleasurable bath could be. Neither I can tell you how long I sip the sweetest nectar on Earth. As far as I knew, I had lost myself. I lost the world where I live because I migrated to the highest form of pleasure and happiness.

As much as I never knew how long I left this world, I likewise never knew how I lost her. I lost my position as I lost my treasured posessions. I am then awakened and goes back to walls of realism.

But I was there, I insist. I’m wet - my sole evidence. I’m sure I was with her. I opened my eyes. Said my prayer:

St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for me.
St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us. Live Jesus in our hearts, forever.

It was a cold dawn of February. When, I opened the window facing south, I saw the little drops from above - morning blessing!

Now, I’m awake but still dream because I still ponder on why I was wet. Does dream come true?

Technie
This blog was first known as Technie - a little twist of techie. Though I don’t see myself as real techie, I intended Technie to focus on technology. My posts were limited to such topics.

Serenity
When I decided to close my personal blog (in English), I posted to Technie essays of various theme and topics such as politics, emotions, and personal experiences. Technie, as a blog title, then became unfitted to blog content. I personally picked Serenity - a favorite word since I first experience inner peace. This blog had been known Serenity.

third wave
Today, I name this blog as “third wave” (all letters in lowercase). The blog title, third wave, is most appropriate as this is the third name “I install” (sounds techie) or I say, “I baptize” (sounds angelic) to my blog. As I personally see, I now emerge into third stage of blogging.
This is third wave, a third force!

I decided to re-engineer this blog as part of my blog enhancement efforts. My apologies to Alvin Toffler whose work, Third Wave continue to inspire me and continue to drive me to aspire.

This is not a blog patch nor an update. I hate to call this as upgrade. I just implement blog re-engineering. May the spirit of blogging dwell upon us.

Australian business consultant, Peter Wallace said that the Philippines could be a major player in information technology, in the call center industry, and even in health care services and tourism.

“But only if it speaks English,” Mr. Wallace said as quoted by Carlos Conde in his article, Erosion of English Skills Threatens Growth in the Philippines [1].

In the same article, Conde mentioned the study conducted by the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines. According to the study, 75 percent of the more than 400,000 Filipino students that graduate from college each year have ’substandard English skills.

A survey by Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) supported the observation on “erosion” of English skills in the country. The BPAP survey indicated that most call center companies hired only 5 percent to 10 percent of the job applicants they interviewed, mainly because of inadequate English proficiency.

Furthermore, the U.S. State Department, in its “2007 Investment Climate Statement,” observes, “English-language proficiency, while still better than in other Southeast Asian nations, is declining in the Philippines.” [2]

The “Patch”

The Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council certified House Bill 305 or the Proposed Act to Strengthen and Enhance the Use of English as the Medium of Instruction in Philippine Schools, filed by Rep. Eduardo R. Gullas, as a priority bill, says SunStar [3]. The bill revives English as the mandatory language for teaching in all school levels.

Under the Gullas bill:

- English, Filipino or the regional language shall be the medium of instruction in all subjects from pre-school to Grade 2;

- English and Filipino shall be taught as separate subjects in all levels of elementary and high school;

- English shall be the medium of instruction in all academic subjects from Grade 3 to Grade 6, and in all levels of high school;

- In the tertiary level, the current language policy as prescribed by the Commission on Higher Education shall be maintained;

- In addition to formal instruction, the use of English shall be encouraged as a language of interaction in school.

The organization of English clubs such as book, oratorical, debating, writing and related associations shall be encouraged.

HB 305 also proposes the use of English as the language of assessment in all government examinations and entrance tests in all public schools and state universities and colleges.

This is a good start, Honorable Gullas!
