Guidance

I was reading Fickle Cattle's Trading Up and it reminded me of this...

"...sa totoo lang, sa buhay na ito, there will always be somebody better than your current partner. somebody more intelligent, sombebody more beautiful, somebody funnier, sexier, more huggable, more dependable, more responsible, more trustworthy, more patient, etc. etc. the list will go on. in short, there will always be somebody better. alam mo, natutunan ko lang din yan sa asawa ko. ngayon, naiintindhihan ko na. now, alama ko na na kung ang drama mo sa buhay ay laging to find somebody better, ay hello, kayabangan naman yata yun. sa akin lang, when you are in a relationship, you make things better everyday for each one. you make the other one better than he/she was a day before."

It was from my conversation with my academic adviser a month or so ago. While she's not exactly the favorite of my co-majors, I consider that I have a good relationship with her. One that transcends the boundaries of the university.

Okay. I dunno what to say really. I just wanted to share it with you guys.

Have a great week!

The Origin

"In the beginning, there were three sexes: man, woman, and an androgynous man/woman. Each of the sexes was round, like a sphere, with a face and two arms and legs on either side. They could walk forward or backward or tumble and roll on the ground. These three played and frolicked in the fields. But then, they foolishly challenged the powers of Zeus. For that, he punished them by splitting them in half, separating them, so there was two of each. What had been the double man (now two men), said Aristophanes, is the origin of gay male relationships…."

-Plato as quoted by Remoto, 2002

From Chocolat

I'm not sure what the theme of my homily ought to be. Do I want' to speak of the miracle of our Lord's divine transformation? Not really, no. I don't want to talk about His divinity. I'd rather talk about His humanity. I mean, you know, how he lived his life here on earth. His kindness. His tolerance. Listen. Here's what I think. I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do, by what we deny ourselves, what we resist and who we exclude. I think we got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create and who we include.

- Pere Henri (Hugh O'Conor)

Kayong mga kabataan wag kayong makokontento sa itinuturo ng libro at ng teacher. Magtatanong po kayo, hindi masama iyon.

Valid and sensible point.

Murahin mo teacher mo ha. Ako minura ko teacher nung hindi nya sinagot saken yan. Oo walang hiya yang mga teacher na yan eh. Hindi sinasabi totoo saten eh.

Ayun lang.
