finding bliss in the midst of economic meltdown




Dec 22, 2008
Ang nais ko sa bagong taon...
Isang bagay lang talaga.
Ang magkaroon ng silid para sa malalaking pangitain.
In times such as this I know I should not contemplate anymore on things that will eventually cause my life to get impatient on me.

Unlearning

Nitong nagdaang buwan ay kakaiba at hindi inaasahan.
Para akong naglakad sa isang pasilyo ng kalungkutan.
Maraming dahilan.
Pinilit kong tawirin ito at nagtagumpay naman ako.
But somehow the fragments of the past, although very weak and gradually dying seem to uninvitedly break in my head.
Kainis.
At one point I thought Im plunging myself one more time into a brink of rapids.
Pero tapos na yun.
The rest though is still unwritten.

Learning

Masaya ako at sa trabaho ay ganoon na lamang ang pasensya ng mga bata sa akin.
Totoo.
Sila ang nagtuturo sa akin.
Mga bagay na hindi mo matutuklasan sa isang iglap at wala sa kahit anong libro na nalikha ng tao.
Intelligence is overrated.
Dito walang routine.
The days are never the same.
Isn’t that a gift and a pure blessing in itself?
Bliss.
Every day im being taught what to value in life.
From them I learn about loyalty and love.
And altogether, we learn how to sow seeds of respect with an intense desire that we will grow to be truly caring and concerned people.
Naks!

Emergency Parking

bakit Emergency parking ang title nito?
Di ko rin alam.
Last Tuesday, I had a short but really panalo holiday visit to one of my favorite places up north. It’s a small, cutesy town in Tarlac called Camiling.
I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner na winner.
I played with Bennet who just turned one, the entire afternoon.
So ayun, sa byahe back to manila, napansin ko lang medyo maraming signage ng Emergency Parking.
Wala lang.

Re-learning
(to be continued...)
