I promised Ronin I would blog this for him, but the past few days of mine revolved around sleeping, eating, and getting soaked in the rain. The entry before this was my way of de-stressing. I had an exam 5 hours after I finished that article, and I was trying to see if I could apply what I learned to my daily and spiritual life.
HAHA.
On with the plug.
Most people think God is like the sun: fiery and fierce. So powerful that if we do the littlest of sin, He’ll scald us to death. Sometimes we even think that we can never look at God directly just like we can never look at the sun directly. Our eyes will hurt, our faces will hurt. We may think that if we approach Him, we’ll just get burned.
But, you know what I think?
It’s 4am, and I’m still up. Been doing some thinking. And it’s somekindofa extreme thinking, I tell you.
And I’m writing this in my public blog, because maybe, just maybe, you’re part of what I’m writing about.
I know I may not be the best baby,
But for me you were, you are, you will be the best Mommy.
You’ve been in my life, like, my whole life.
20 years and counting, and counting, and counting.
And counting.
And I know, you’ll still be there
As you always have been there.
(And I’ll always be here for you, too).
And as long as forever
My Mommy you’ll be.
I love you so much. :) Happy mother’s day!
EDIT: Mom wants all of you to know that she was pregnant with Vince when the picture was taken. Kaya daw malaki ang tiyan niya. hahahaha
Dahil gusto ko alalahanin ang aking kabataan, dinekwat ko ito kay Tina. HAHAHAHA. Panalo. Ang meme nasa ilalim ng jump.
It always bugs me how many religions in this world (yes, I believe that religions are from this world only), eternally condemn each other and non-believers. And it pains me to see how people tell each other their going to hell just because the other person does not have the same beliefs that they do.
MUST. STOP. OBSESSIVE. EMPTYING. OF. TRASH.
Two weeks ago, I started emptying the Trash in my PowerBook, when I noticed that it was deleting 100++ files. I found it weird that I was deleting a whole lotta files, I decided to cancel the operation and see what I was actually deleting.
Lo and behold, my Applications folder was in the trash. :p And I just tried to empty it!
Anyways, thinking that I haven’t deleted anything important, I resumed to regular programming. Until one day last week, I needed to open the Terminal to, you know, terminal something in, only to find out that IT WAS MISSING.
Because of all the stress and haggardness and all, I wasn’t able to tell you guys that I’ve reached my 900th entry mark in Bababa ba? with my entry about not being that present in the online world. Yes, that’s 900 entries of not having anything better to do.
Well, I guess it’s time for me to rant here because no-one from the real world is listening. Our land lords didn’t listen, our baranggay officials didn’t listen, people from our street don’t listen.
If you happen to be around Maginhawa Street one night, you might notice that there is this mini-dump site in the small parking space in front of Nanette’s Snackhaus near the first Ababu. Mini-dump site as in a place where most of the residential and commercial establishments throw ALL their trash.
Well, If it were just residents who threw their trash in our small cemented garbage box, it would be fine for me. BUT, even the darned COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS THROW THEIR EFFIN’ TRASH BESIDE OUR HOUSE. It’s ROTTEN FOOD GALORE, FOLKS.
AND YES, WE LIVE NEAR THERE YOU STUPID GARBAGE THROWING PEOPLE.
Every night, people from Maginhawa never fail to one by one walk towards our house, and THROW THEIR TRASH IN THE CEMENTED TRASH BOX BESIDE OUR GATE. AND THEY THROW THEIR TRASH EVEN IF I GIVE THEM THE MEAN I-WILL-KILL-YOU-IF-YOU-THROW-THAT-THERE STARE.
THE NERVE.
And also every night, HOMELESS AND DRUNK PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEX ON THE STREETS (YES, THEY DO IT IN MAGINHAWA STREET) GATHER IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE, SCAVENGING FROM THE MINI-DUMP SITE, WHILE THEY HAVE THEIR RUM AND GIN SESSIONS. And not only that, sometimes they continuously ask for money and change, they act as “watch your car people” even if we’re just parking our car IN OUR GATE or we’re bringing the car outside (yes, some of them have the nerve to ask for change while we drive away because they “helped us” bring our car out).
And yes, I’m ranting and typing in ALL CAPS because I’m fed up, and I’m angry. Because really, who wants to see tons of rotten trash and homeless drunk people in front of and beside your gate? I know this house we rent is one of the best houses in terms of access, but in terms of environment and the people? Argh. Yes, your house may be super accessible, but the trash and people are just unbearable.
Whatever happened to discipline?
I went to Brookside GK Village this morning, and their place was way more cleaner and more beaufitul than our area! Even if there were some houses which owners refused to be GK-fied, the place was spruced up. And I was in Marikina this afternoon, and all I can say is, wow. Just wow. Even if the traffic was hell and the jeeps had hip-hop Speed Racer clones as drivers, you can still see how beautiful and clean their city is.
BUT HOW ABOUT OUR STREET?
Totally the opposite!
Oh Baranggay Teacher’s Village, Baranggay UP Village, Officials of Quezon City, RESIDENTS OF MAGINHAWA, whatever happened to you?
UPDATE: Our land lady was here in the morning. She said they’ll do something about it, kasi naaasar na rin daw siya sa kalat.
I have been somewhat disconnected from the online world these past few days. Being not able to write much, I owe the bloggers at least 2 entries about the recent blogger happenings, SpotPh’s blogger food tour and iBlog4. Wait, make that three if I were to write about 88db.com’s party. Though I left that party for a while, hahaha. Being my Mother’s driver for that night, I had to stay away from alcohol. And skipping dinner (because I thought there was food in 88db.com’s party! Darn bitin pica-picas), I spent most of the time in Banapple where I bumped into Vernie and AJ, who were very very wonderful company. :)
But alas, I’m still stuck studying (or procrastinating) for my summer classes. Tch. Oh well.
Yes, this is me procrastinating.
Will be writing those entries sometime soon. I just have to get through my exam and presentation first.
Currently am in Five Cows, in Trinoma. It’s our last stop in SpotPh’s Blogger food tour.
Gosh. Konti na lang sasabog na tiyan ka! HAHAHAHA. Wala pang kalahati ng 19 restaurants, busug na busog na kami.
Full entry and photos to follow. :)
“Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you don’t understand it at all. The second time you go through it, you think you understand it, except for one or two small points. The third time you go through it, you know you don’t understand it, but by that time you are so used to it, it doesn’t bother you any more.”-Arnold Sommerfield
Ack. It’s the middle of summer vacation and I have exams! ANG HIRAP PA MAG-ARAL KASI ANG INIT! Potek.
Josie and I were in National Bookstore the other night, after our isaw adventure in the afternoon. We were in the children’s books section looking for a copy of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens” for her CWTS when we came across this children’s book by Robert Munsch.
We almost cried right there and then. We looked like bawling weirdos in the middle of National Bookstore. We were holding our tears back, while we both remembered our beloved mothers.
I almost bought the book, but it was waaaaaaaaay to expensive for a 20 page book. Well, children’s books are made that way: expensive, short, but with substance.
Enjoy.
I love you mom. :)
You know who you are. :)
