How you will handle the current relationship without this? Negative ba talaga ang salita na ito o it is necessary sa relasyon? How you will secure your partner if he or she is to strong? Maybe your importance is not enough to secure her or him or even to demand for his or her time.

Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP) 2 March 2018 This statement is issued by the Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP) to inform the public regarding the ethical and valid use of psychological assessments, in response to the recent legislative proceedings that highlight the alleged mental/psychological condition of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno. The PAP maintains that in giving this statement, the organization is neither supporting nor opposing any position regarding the issues involving Chief Justice Sereno. It only seeks to clarify the function of psychological assessments and the diagnosis of psychological conditions. First, the purpose of psychological assessment is to help understand a person’s functioning in various aspects of life for informed decision making (for example, for job positions) or for treatment planning. Psychological tests are developed and applied via scientific methods, but they are not perfectly accurate. Actual behaviors and performance are more valid than what psychological assessments may predict. Second, a psychological assessment is often conducted for a specific purpose, and should only be used for that purpose. To use a psychological assessment conducted in 2012 (which was for the purpose of Chief Justice Sereno’s appointment) for the current legislative proceedings is a misuse of those results. Third, statements that the Chief Justice “failed” the psychological evaluation are misleading, as no one “passes” or “fails” a psychological assessment. Instead, a psychologist recommends a person to a position after the assessment indicates that he/she possesses the characteristics that fit the demands of the given position. Fourth, decisions and recommendations are derived from psychological assessments that use a combination of methods, such as interview, observation, standardized norm-referenced tests, and relevant informal tools. Good practices entail the application of all these methods, and using only one or two of these methods is inadequate. If a psychologist bases his/her assessment on only one of these methods, or from second-hand reports, then conclusions about “mental disturbance” based on alleged symptoms that indicate such a condition are misleading, if not inaccurate. The PAP upholds the dignity of every human being and we reject recent narratives that directly or indirectly use psychological assessments to stigmatize those with mental or psychological conditions. We condemn the unethical practice of using confidential psychological information for purposes of discrediting or damaging a person’s character. Even if psychological test results become public documents, this does not grant permission for anybody to use it for any purpose other than its original intent. The PAP Code of Ethics (PAP, 2009) lists as its guiding principle our “professional and scientific responsibility to society.” The PAP upholds the Psychology community’s responsibility to conduct its affairs in accordance with the highest ethical standards, and to contribute “to the knowledge about human behavior and to the persons’ understanding of themselves and others”. It is our obligation to use our expertise in educating the members of our discipline and the public about our profession and practice.

Papalipasin na lang ba natin ulit at magpapatawad? Gaano kadalas? Tuwing kailan tama na ang magalit? Alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi ito mabuti? Alam ko na kahit ikubli ko ito lalabas din ito. Alam ko masama pakiramdam ko and it will not help mo soon. I hope that writing this will help me to release this tension.

God' answers me...

Di ko alam kung maipapasa ko ito o maibabagsak ko. Pero sana sa panahon na andun ako sa baba, samahan nyo ako kahit alam kong sa taas nyo ako hinihintay.

Hindi ako yung taong mahilig sa kumuha ng larawan at mayroong magandang camera... Hindi ako yung mahilig sa sport kaya siguro ang taba taba ko... Siguro kakaiba din kasi ako magisip... Wala akong bike, motor o magarang sasakyan... Hindi din ako ganoon kagaling sa technology gaya ng iba... Siguro may nais kang iparating... Sabihin mo na lang dahil hindi ako manghuhula... Siguro ngayon naguguluhan ako... At ngayon pa ako nahirapan makisama at natututong bumigat ang loob... Unti unti nakikita ko ang mga bagay na nagpapalayo sayo... Unti unti napapadama mo na ang layo mo na... Hindi ko alam kung ano ang plano mo ngayon. Kung ano man yan ginagalang ko... Pero sana galangin mo ang desisyun ko bilang ako at hindi dahil imature ako...
