Another Idiotic Moment
1:34 PM
Whew, just got home from church and I had another idiotic encounter. After the mass, I went straight to Mercury Drug Store to buy some food (canned goods and some junk foods) when I met this lady. She approached me and called me by some name (I really did not hear clearly). Honestly, I really could not remember her. I even looked if there was someone behind me lol. Anyway, she approached me and asked where my "mama" was. I wasn't sure what she meant by "mama" as I call my grandmother "mama" and my mom "mom". I immediately answered that she was home. My mom is currently at the province, and my grandmother is at home (intubated). I noticed the expression on her face as if the confidence of knowing me slowly subsided. She then asked if we didn't celebrate all souls' day at the province and I confidently answered a "no" and unintentionally had an expression of being surprised why she didn't know (If she was a relative, she'd know that my grandmother was at home and needed nursing and that there's no way of visiting the dead when there's someone at home catching her breath to live). I think that expression really had her. She left and I know from the look on her face that she had second thoughts if I was really the person she thought I was, which I am. These was all because of my automatic response of clumsiness when a somewhat stranger tries to converse with me. I always give out answers without thinking twice whether or not I understood clearly their question. I even pair it with expressions I don't really intend on showing but they do, which then give false impression on what I really mean (Now I'm confused with my words)
. Well, just wanted to share this experience. I think I got her to feel embarrassed more than I did.
The Devil's Advocate
7:42 AM
Yesterday, when I scanned through the television set, I was able to watch the Devil's Advocate (starring Keanu Reeves and Al Pachino). There was a line by the Devil (Al Pachino) saying that the 20th century was his (just before reaching the year 2000). It got me thinking. People before the millennium were too worried about the end of the world. Movies came out about comets hitting the Earth, or "the beast" appearing. Some religious leaders even talked their followers to go to their sacred place because only they can be saved (you might know who I'm talking about and I don't want to name names). Everyone was busy for the said event--the End of the World. Well, watching the movie for the second time got me into thinking: What if they had the right idea of the world belonging to Satan, but only got the date wrong? What if it were that only until the 20th century was the world able to resist him? People after the "expected End-of-the-World" I think got away with the pressure, and some I think felt quite free. Freedom to think, feel, and act. The feeling that the end may not come. Just look around, even the Catholic church tolerate scandals and have no power against it. Actions taken against immorality are taken as being judgemental. Conservative cultures are dying fast, and doing wrong is much preferred than doing right. Self-sacrifice is a thing of the past and all I care about is my future. Vanity is inveitable.
What if the 20th century wasn't his but was the last stand for humanity and faith to succeed? What if the 21st century onward is deemed under his ownership? Just a question though, what if?
Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din.
7:51 PM
I was amused by one of the posts made by my college classmate at her multiply site. Here it is:
Ayon kay Bob Ong,
1. "Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya.."
2. "Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba."
3. "Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang."
4. "Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."
5. "Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin."
6. "Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din."
7. "Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang."
8. "Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi
pagkukusa."
9. "Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang."
10. "Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una."
11. "Hindi porke't madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa."
12. "Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo,
13. "Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority."
14. "Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya."
15. "Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag
nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo."
16. "Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala"
17. "Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan"
18. "Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo,
19. "Pakawalan mo yung mga bagay na nakakasakit sa iyo kahit na pinasasaya ka nito. Wag mong hintayin ang araw na sakit na lang ang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo."
20. "Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang mga taong malalapit sa iyo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo."
