When I was in high school, i was very fond of reading essays and there's one that has been my favorite it's entitled "A piece of something". Actually, it talks about love. It really widen my eyes of what love really is. I tried to ask for my friend "Google" for help about this essay but unfortunately it's been reposted a couple of times that I couldn't find the original one (honestly just too tired to open up the sites hehe). However, I did found one which is more similar to what I have read. Here it is and enjoy! :)
A Piece Of Something..
While I was walking, I stopped for a while and thought of the things I don’t have. Then I realize that the happiest moment of all the people don’t necessarily have the best of everything: they just make the most of everything that comes along the way.
It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lost it but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives. In the gateway of my heart I put a sign that says, “No trespassing” but love came laughing and said, “I enter everywhere” Love knows no reasons, love knows no lies, love defies all reasons, love has no eyes. But definitely love is not blind love sees but it doesn’t mind. Love is when you take away feeling. The passion, the romance and you find that you still care for the person.
Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes, the things that give you joy and strength can also hurt you in the end. It starts with a smile, develops with a kiss and ends with a tear.
When you love you must not expect anything in return. If you only accept happiness, you’re not loving but using. Don’t go for looks either, it can deceive. Don’t go for wealth even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because only a smile make a day seem bright.
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly on them and not to twist them to fit our own image otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. Never try to impress someone to make him/her fall in love with you because when you do you’ll have to keep those standards for the rest of your life.
A sad thing about life is that when we meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out that in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let him/her go. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person we should know to be grateful for the gift. We can’t often see the reason why we don’t always get what we want but in the end of it all we realize that what we wanted was not meant for us at all everything happens for a reason.
When you feel down because you didn’t get what you wanted just sit right and be happy because God’s thinking for something better for you. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return but what is the most painful is to love someone and never have the courage to let the person how you feel. It’s always better to have found the courage to love even if you lose in the end rather than never finding love because you were too afraid to face its challenge.
The greatest regrets in our lives are the risks we did not take. If you think something will make you happy, go for it. Love no matter how hard you find it. You won’t see it. No matter how hard you try, you won’t get it. But when you’re about to give up, it comes. Sometimes the love that we are looking for this right in front of us is too close for our eyes to see. So close your eyes to let your heart see itself.
There are things you love to hear but you can’t hear it from the person who says it with his heart just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want. There are many stars in the sky, only some are radiant to be noticed. God never closes the door without opening the window. He always gives us something better when He takes something away.
In relationships thank God when you’re hurting or crying, there you are given the chance to measure the importance of the relationship of the person and of yourself. When you grow you don’t become a better person because you experience suffering. We have no right to ask when sorrow comes. “Why does this happen to me?” unless we ask the same question or every moment of happiness that comes our way.
When God puts a tear in your eye it’s because He wants to put a rainbow in your heart. There are some things that we never want to let go of people we never want to leave behind but keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world. It’s the beginning of the new life.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can’t go on well in life when you can’t let go you’re past failures and heartaches. To let go is not to deny but to accept. To let go is not regret the past but to grow and to live for the future. To let go is to fear less and to love more. Don’t be afraid to break someone’s heart or leave your heart broken because that’s how relationships are when you’re young they are stepping-stones for the main one.
Follow your heart. It might not right but despite the pain you will have memories that will make you smile every once and rare while. It’s better to lose the person you love now and have him later than have him now and lose him forever. Love has its time, seasons and own reasons. You can’t ask it to stay. You can only embrace it comes and be glad that a moment of your life it was yours.
Each of us is what we will. But we can never go back a day. Don’t let each moment pass you by for within the twin ding eye that moment shall go and that feeling shall die. It might be too late when you open your eyes. Don’t be so busy, the life you’re going to have that you fall to appreciate that you’ve already given. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be cause you only have one life and one chance to do all the things that you want in life.
We are never given dreams without the power to make it come true. A heart in love never loses hope but always believes in the promises of love. No matter how long the time and how far the distance never say goodbye when you still want to try, never give up when you still can take it, never say you don’t love that person anymore when you can’t let go.
True love doesn’t have a happy ending. That’s because love doesn’t have an ending…
Hope it also widen your eyes when it comes to love. I'm glad that I can share this piece to you. Anyway this is where the piece come from :

It must be the true meaning of love...
Everyone is looking or searching for a true love or shall we say perfect mate and everyone seems to fail. They got hurt and even cry a river because of failing.
It made me remember a story that somehow widens my eyes.
There once a girl who feels that she could never find a guy that would treat her as a woman nor give her a complete meaning of love. Yes, she had lots of boyfriends but none of them even let her feel what love really is. They said they love her but they just let her cry. But having her heart broken again and again, she never gives up and still continues to search for love.
At last she found a guy that took really good care of her, made her feel loved all the time. She thought that “this is the guy the heaven gave to her” and she was so blessed to find that guy. Every day for her seems to be perfect until days, weeks, months… and year. She thought this dream would never come to an end. The guy really loves her and she feels it.
But do really love you dreamed for can come to an end?
She dreamed and prayed for it. But what happen? Why is her heart aching? Why does she feels that they guy she longed for is stepping backward? Is it the end?
NO. She will never give up, she never will.
The guy committed such a big mistake involving a third party. He cheated on her even he was saying that he loves her and only her. He says sorry and says that he was being teased and tempted by a girl to share a “love” that suppose to be shared by two in love married person. It’s an unforgivable mistake but she chooses to accept it knowing that he could never find another man that would care for her as he did.
But she was wrong very wrong. The guy still committed the same mistake again and again because she always forgives him. It is the same scenario until three years past that she can never take it but too afraid to let go because she’s so worried that he could never find like him.
She was so down. She’s not happy with her partner anymore making the same mistake until she saw him with her own eyes that her partner has been cheating on her with the same girl and they’ve been living together. That was the time that that she call it a quits. She can’t bear it anymore. She is now awakened of her foolishness.
Many of us are blinded by the “love” we are searching for when we find it. We thought it was it but we are wrong. We need to be hurt over and over again just to be awakened of the reality that what we’ve been feeling right now is not “love” after all. We are just merely blinded by the thought.The moral lesson is in the story itself.
Well, I’m not really good at advising but hope the story can make you awakened of your deep sleep. Wake up before it’s too late.:)

There are times when you think everything seems perfect, you have your wonderful partner, family, home and etc. But it seems you're not still happy because of it. It seems something's really missing.
Yeah, I got my college degree but it seems it looks to them that i'm too dumb to learn things and even doubted my capacity as a human. True, it really hurts but I guess that's how life should be. You need to encounter more hurtful things to be come stronger. But isn't it to harsh to feel this everyday?
But what hurts more is when you know your capacity but then some factors held you for it. It's just a simple task but you can't go for it because of that freaking obstacle. It's just a simple obstacle but too hard to kill and there's no choice but to give up although you know you don't want to....

In your own understanding, what's the difference between "METHOD" and "METHODOLOGY"?
Hmmn… Actually when I first read about this question, a lot of ideas are occurring in my mind. And somehow it made me think so deeply. Stop! I was really about to post the answer of this question when something unexpected happen. Would you believe that I accidentally deleted the words in the document and saved it? It was really annoying! It was better if I could have deleted the document itself because I can restore it from the recycle bin. But just imagine what I did? It’s really an OMG! So much for that, let’s go back to the question being asked (I was just telling my unfortunate experience).
So as I was saying, from my own point of view a method is a way of doing something. It could be also that it is carrying out something especially according to plan. For example in a math problem, we usually use “methods” in order to solve a problem or shall we say techniques and come up into a solution. So we can say – in other words – that methods are used to come up a solution to answer the problem being stated.
On other hand, I was thinking that a methodology is a study of methods or a study of a way of doing something or carrying out something, especially those according to plan (“ology” means study of, right?). So when I search about what a methodology is, I found a site (wikipedia.com) that stated that it is a systematic study of methods that can be applied within a discipline. It could also be an analysis of methods employed by a discipline (so I guess my thinking was right about the study thing). So to really visualize what a methodology is let’s have a concrete example. An example is a research paper; we all know that methodology is being used in research to define what methods will be used in developing. It can be a reference on how or where the data come from to attain successfully the objectives of the study.
I guess that would be all about method and methodology. Thanks for reading!

Identify and discuss key factors for publishing research in top-tier journals like CSP, ACM, i3E, etc.
ACM, CSP, i3E and many others are just examples of some top-tier journal that published research papers in a usual manner and through the internet.
There was this article from ACM that talks about how the publications are done when the researchers submitted their paper. It is not an obscure thing to us what a research is. The publication of all research paper has been the center of its notion. It has been the basic means to disseminate the results or the research paper itself.
Before a research paper being published, it will be first reviewed by 3 or 4 reviewers (each paper) which are experts on this field of study. After being reviewed, the best research papers among the submitted ones are then accepted for publication in the journal or even in the conference proceedings. Actually, publishing a paper is usually done in some conferences or journals.
Every year there are thousands of research papers that are being submitted but the acceptance rate are often 20% or lower. Not all papers that are being submitted make it to the publication.
As I have read from the same site (ACM), there are still flaws in reviewing a research paper. Since judging a paper is not an easy thing to do, the reviewers is having a hard time assessing the paper’s impact, how relevant it is and even look at the topic – if it is interesting or not. Sometimes a research is rejected because of some bad reviews it because sometimes an author gets reviews criticizing the paper and saying the opposite thing. Having a research paper is somewhat a matter of luck, if your research will be accepted. It is because some reviewers are positive thinker, some are not. Reviewing takes a lot of time, most especially to those meticulous reviewers. That is why most authors do not write in a manner where the audiences can understand the paper but write in a manner that the reviewer would be please in their paper. Some common reviewers accepts very detailed papers than the more innovative and creative one.
Having these flaws, they made a different aura in reviewing a research paper. They made a conference which different from the traditional one where the author can not reply on how the reviewers review the paper. In the new one, the reviewers should not be acquainted by the author for the fair judgment. In here, the authors have a few days to rely on the reviewer’s question. There was also a community review to avoid flaws. The community can vote on paper/ or abstract that they like. Aside from the two mentioned, there is also what they called “open” in which all the participants can go to the conference and made their own judgment on the presentation they heard. There was also an invitation type of conference where the reviewers are those persons who are invited in the conference as judges. The authors then are required to present their works.
So, I guess a successful publication of a research depends on how good a research is and of course it depends also on the reviewers.

How do you know if a piece of research work is good or not? How are they evaluated? (1500words)
There are a lot of researches conducted by different people. If it’s not for a cure for a certain virus, it’s about how to lessen the burden of the people by making things high-tech or we can also say that it helps the people as well as the environment like what green computing is up to. But how do we really know if a piece of research is good and when is it not? Can we say that it is good if it actually solve a man’s problem? And if it is not, is it a bad one? These questions are exactly what are playing in my mind right now and I’ll try to answer it my way (tongue out).
In my point of view, research is somewhat searching a certain thing “again” for it to be more effective or realistic it could also mean an organized study or shall we say a methodical investigation into a subject in order to discover facts, to establish or revise a theory, or to develop a plan of action based on the facts discovered (according to Encarta). Most of the research is made to lessen the burden of every individual. It is a means of making an answer to every human’s dilemma that walks on earth. And in fact, it is a solution to everyone’s problem.
I can say that a research is good if it actually address a certain group of people’s (or even not) problem. If it solves or lessens or even an advancement of a certain technology, then we can say that it is a good research (well, I’m not sure about this but let me continue…). A research will be nothing if it doesn’t address certain people for it to solve their dilemmas. Because if it is not, then what’s the use of research anyway? Is it for fun..? (Grinning) Well, I think not. It’s not a realistic to do – making a research for fun - to think that lots of money will be spent if you just do it that way. But who knows maybe there is someone who makes it for fun or shall we say it’s his/her hobby (having a hobby is also a means of having fun, right?). We can never tell. Hmmn, I hope it doesn’t look like I contradicted myself (laugh).
I was thinking if there was a judging portion to be able to identify if a research paper is a good one or not aside from the fact that it can solve someone’s problem (confused). I guess maybe that’s why there is an evaluation made in every research paper (enlighten). One thing also, I was a bit confused if all research paper published were evaluated (ahh maybe that explains why most of the researches found in the internet are prone to be false because they were not evaluated [enlighten again]). But how are they being evaluated? Do they have any criteria for basis? Hmmn… It seems I have to search some answers for it. Might as well as google it (laugh).
Evaluating a research paper is somewhat a process to determine how good the paper is. I think there were standards on evaluating a research paper and even in publishing it. Based on what I have read most of the research that being published in the internet are prone to be false (that’s what I stated a while ago). So basically, my first statement does not cater on publishing it on the internet (but I think not all since there are top-tier journals who published researches in the internet). If that’s the case then I think there’s no way a student can identify which research paper is true and which is false, or can they? Most of us know that majority of the published writings on the internet don’t come from reliable source and if it is, you have to do a lot of hard work to find one (well, it’s based on my experience. I don’t know if you guys have also encountered the same problem with mine when it comes to this.)
If we say “evaluate”, it could mean that we consider or examine a certain thing in order to judge its value, quality, importance, extent, or condition. So going back to a research paper, we can say that a research paper is good if it pass the evaluation. I mean, if all in all the research paper has a great impact on the current situation and it helps a lot of people then maybe – just maybe we can categorize it as a good one. As far as I remember about the article I read about research paper is that (I read this a long time ago when I was looking on how to wrote a research paper [tongue out] I just thought this reading could help), a research should have a great impact on the current situation or current thread. How will you know that the research you’re working will be a great help if you don’t know what’s new? As I have said in my recent posts, the formulated problem and the suggested solution may be available already. Then the research you’re currently working might be useless. So basically, it has a lot to do with the current situation or technology which can benefit the consumers. For us to be able to decide of what the topic will be proposing we’ll go in depth (tongue out). The content of the research should have reliable sources and should not be based on some hearsay. There are a lot of sources in the internet but take note that not all the information found there are true. And if you only find the sources only in the internet then you must find a reliable one. Well, that’s what sad thing about making a research in a technical way because there is only little information and sometimes do not have some that we found in the books. We all know that the most reliable source are came from the books and because sometimes the topic we’ve chosen is in current thread then it is hard for us to find some information in the books or magazines then we have no choice but to look for it in the internet. Although it is not hard to search a certain article that could support the research we have but the question of is it reliable enough to be a source is still a question to be asked.
So having all the explanation above about making or writing a research topic/ paper, we can say that it is a good research. If it follows the do’s of writing a paper then maybe we can categorize it as a good one (well, it’s just my own point of view feel free to correct me then). Actually, there a lot of published research papers in the internet. As a matter of fact, there a several of research paper found in the web sites that are reliable enough to become a basis for a new research. Although I have stated it (I think a lot of times) that most of the research found in the internet are prone to be false, there are still a lot of research which are reliable especially those research that are being published by the top – tier journals like ACM, CSP and etc. As I have said, most are prone to be false – but take note that not all. So basically, we can still find good one and make it as a basis of a new one, right (I hope I didn’t contradicted myself or didn’t explain it in a way that is so confusing. But I guess I made it so confusing. So please just bear with me guys [tongue out].)?
So, what else should I say or rather write? Is there something else I forgot to mention? Well, I guess it only me who can answer these questions of mine and nothing else (laugh).
There are a lot of researches conducted by different people. If it’s not for a cure for a certain virus, it’s about how to lessen the burden of the people by making things high-tech or we can also say that it helps the people as well as the environment like what green computing is up to. But how do we really know if a piece of research is good and when is it not? Can we say that it is good if it actually solve a man’s problem? And if it is not, is it a bad one? These questions are exactly what are playing in my mind right now and I’ll try to answer it my way (tongue out).
In my point of view, research is somewhat searching a certain thing “again” for it to be more effective or realistic it could also mean an organized study or shall we say a methodical investigation into a subject in order to discover facts, to establish or revise a theory, or to develop a plan of action based on the facts discovered (according to Encarta). Most of the research is made to lessen the burden of every individual. It is a means of making an answer to every human’s dilemma that walks on earth. And in fact, it is a solution to everyone’s problem.
I can say that a research is good if it actually address a certain group of people’s (or even not) problem. If it solves or lessens or even an advancement of a certain technology, then we can say that it is a good research (well, I’m not sure about this but let me continue…). A research will be nothing if it doesn’t address certain people for it to solve their dilemmas. Because if it is not, then what’s the use of research anyway? Is it for fun..? (Grinning) Well, I think not. It’s not a realistic to do – making a research for fun - to think that lots of money will be spent if you just do it that way. But who knows maybe there is someone who makes it for fun or shall we say it’s his/her hobby (having a hobby is also a means of having fun, right?). We can never tell. Hmmn, I hope it doesn’t look like I contradicted myself (laugh).
I was thinking if there was a judging portion to be able to identify if a research paper is a good one or not aside from the fact that it can solve someone’s problem (confused). I guess maybe that’s why there is an evaluation made in every research paper (enlighten). One thing also, I was a bit confused if all research paper published were evaluated (ahh maybe that explains why most of the researches found in the internet are prone to be false because they were not evaluated [enlighten again]). But how are they being evaluated? Do they have any criteria for basis? Hmmn… It seems I have to search some answers for it. Might as well as google it (laugh).
Evaluating a research paper is somewhat a process to determine how good the paper is. I think there were standards on evaluating a research paper and even in publishing it. Based on what I have read most of the research that being published in the internet are prone to be false (that’s what I stated a while ago). So basically, my first statement does not cater on publishing it on the internet (but I think not all since there are top-tier journals who published researches in the internet). If that’s the case then I think there’s no way a student can identify which research paper is true and which is false, or can they? Most of us know that majority of the published writings on the internet don’t come from reliable source and if it is, you have to do a lot of hard work to find one (well, it’s based on my experience. I don’t know if you guys have also encountered the same problem with mine when it comes to this.)
If we say “evaluate”, it could mean that we consider or examine a certain thing in order to judge its value, quality, importance, extent, or condition. So going back to a research paper, we can say that a research paper is good if it pass the evaluation. I mean, if all in all the research paper has a great impact on the current situation and it helps a lot of people then maybe – just maybe we can categorize it as a good one. As far as I remember about the article I read about research paper is that (I read this a long time ago when I was looking on how to wrote a research paper [tongue out] I just thought this reading could help), a research should have a great impact on the current situation or current thread. How will you know that the research you’re working will be a great help if you don’t know what’s new? As I have said in my recent posts, the formulated problem and the suggested solution may be available already. Then the research you’re currently working might be useless. So basically, it has a lot to do with the current situation or technology which can benefit the consumers. For us to be able to decide of what the topic will be proposing we’ll go in depth (tongue out). The content of the research should have reliable sources and should not be based on some hearsay. There are a lot of sources in the internet but take note that not all the information found there are true. And if you only find the sources only in the internet then you must find a reliable one. Well, that’s what sad thing about making a research in a technical way because there is only little information and sometimes do not have some that we found in the books. We all know that the most reliable source are came from the books and because sometimes the topic we’ve chosen is in current thread then it is hard for us to find some information in the books or magazines then we have no choice but to look for it in the internet. Although it is not hard to search a certain article that could support the research we have but the question of is it reliable enough to be a source is still a question to be asked.
So having all the explanation above about making or writing a research topic/ paper, we can say that it is a good research. If it follows the do’s of writing a paper then maybe we can categorize it as a good one (well, it’s just my own point of view feel free to correct me then).
