Welcome To My Blog

Hi! My name is Simon, your friendly cyberhood fellow. Welcome to my humble crib. Please write on my guest book, at the bottom this blog. If you have questions you can post and ask questions, suggestions, and other comments. Please don't hesitate and leave a comment.

For my beloved (Former) Korean students you are all very welcome here too, you can change the whole text of my blog to Hangul by pressing the Korean flag on the left column of this blog (it's a translator blog). This is for you to understand my entries here.

To my friends I hope this blog helps you to find some of your interest. Please feel at home.

FYI: The word "Spicusians" was made by my fellow online English tutor "John Rolex" as a sort of a nickname for us tutor he's also working for Spicus.Inc. It was inspired from the movie "300." But since that I am not working in Spicus Inc. anymore the name has no meaning.

Other definition, it means a person who always speak its mind. A person who can't express its feeling outside, but found a medium, a way to bring out its mind and feeling.

NOTICE
"Spicusian's Blog had nothing do to with Spicus Inc. or to any on-line phone English companies (ESL). This is a personal blog where I express my thoughts, opinions, feelings on certain issues, events, situations, etc. I also provide some tips for ESL students on how to hone their English Speaking skills."

People's Politician

Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions. A politician is an individual who is involved in influencing public decision making through the influence of politics or a person who influences the way a society is governed. Politics is a very complicated issue and politians are very complicated people. Why? Because they accounted to every decision and act that already they made, making and will make in the future. They all have different ideology to govern that lead to prosperity of their nation or to the destruction of their nation. Commonly politians think how to maintain their power? They develop selfishness and greed. They said they represent the people but it's only a front because majority of them are liars. But on the other hand there are some politicians who think to serve the people first than maintaining their power. No matter what political (corrupt) culture may break, they still stand on their principles and make the best decisions in every possible situations. With or without support of his/her colleagues he still do it for the benefit of his/her people. Unfortunately some of them live short, thats why our world is in jeopardy.



One good example is the former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun, before he enter politics he already serve people by defending their human rights. Most of his ideology are for ordinary South Koreans who cannot afford the high cost of living, attain proper high education and defend their vulnerability. He shown his honesty in his seat that leads to his opposition to withdrawn their support because they want to protect their hidden agenda and interest. He became controversial because he's doing his job. But his enemies cursed him and seeked revenge. After his term hewent to his home town and miggle to his townsfolk. He still serve them with all his means. Then a bribery scandal came, accused him for corruption. He knows it is not an ordinary scandal but its a revenge by his former oppositions and enemies to put him down and his family. Still he humble himself to the public and made a public apology. He didn't think of what his persecutors may think but he's concern on what his people will think of him after knowing the scandal. Then again, he made a controversial decision to end his life by committing suicide. He knows, his life is the cost of this trouble. It's really shocking and dissapointing, but Ordinary South Korean people still believes in him. I not a Korean but I know because I have a lot of Korean students who share their feeling about former president Roh Moo-hyun. He is the people's president, father of Korea and a true politician. This is not a bluff its true. almost 4 or 5 million South Koreans who gather in his funeral service, they mourn because they lose a great leader. May his soul rest in peace and for the people of South Korea, heal and move on.



I'm a voter too even though I don't respect politicians, because it's my right to vote. Therefore I have a right to criticize and disrespect them because they are all corrupt and liars. I feel stupid every time I vote because there are no good politians it leaves me to vote corrupt politicians. I hope that someday Philippine will have a People's politician who think people first not the position and power.

Two Temples

By: R. S. Presidency


A builder built a temple,


He wrought it with grace and skill,


Pillars and groins and arches


All fashioned to work his will,


And men said as they saw its beauty,


"It never shall know decay,


Great is thy skill,


O builder!Thy fame shall endure for age."


A mother built a temple


With infinite loving care,


Planning each arch with patience,


Laying each stone with prayer.


None praised her unceasing efforts,


None knew of her wondrous plan


For the temple the mother built


Was unseen by the eye of man.


Gone is the builder's temple


Crumbled into the dust,


Low lies each stately pillar


Food for the consuming rust.


But the temple the mother built


Will last while the ages roll,


For that beautiful unseen temple


Was a child's immortal soul.


HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!

THANK YOU

By: anonymous
Improved by: Dj A.


We hardly shared a glance, to greet, and know each other.
But now our time is up, our time is not enough.

We find another chance, to meet again together
And fill each other's cup, we feel like breaking up

It is this time that almost, makes me cry.
Before I say goodbye, I wanna let you know I love you.

Thank you for playing my music.
Thank you for singing my song. (our song)
Thank you for sparing a moment.
Because with you I feel where I really belong.
Thank you for keeping me company. (company)
Thank you for being my friend.
If our path should cross somewhere, some when.
I'd like to sing our song again.

May our Lord, our God, richly bless and keep you.
Together we will call, and thank Him most of all.

Somehow I'm feeling sad, I know I gonna miss you.
I'm sure I will recall, this warm and cozy hall.

But there's one more thing, before the day will pass.
Before the lights are gone, before the curtain closes

I will....

Thank you for playing my music.
Thank you for singing my song. (our song)
Thank you for sparing a moment.
Because with you I feel where I really belong.
Thank you for keeping me company. (company)
Thank you for being my friend.
If our path should cross somewhere, some when.

And if our path should cross one day....

Then I'd really be glad. (Yes, I'd really glad...)

So I can thank you once again.
