very nice blog where i can voice my opinion about the middle-east issues.

The Irony of Hierarchy

Dingdong! Dingdong!

What a pleasant sound after the three hours of sitting and listening to all the complexity of language!

Yeah, yeah.. Our classes were done for the week at last.

Since I had to read for my quiz this afternoon, I didn't get a chance to eat. By the time we finished our class, it was already time for dinner. Since we skept our lunch, we decided to treat ourselves. To the Pizzahut! Yeahey~ hahaha.

We ordered a ceasar salad and a supersupreme pan pizza. 'Twas more than enough for just the two of us. After the long hours of empty stomach, it was full now. The meal costed us about 300 which I thought was not much for a satisfactory meal. With all the talkings and good food, my mood was lighter than before.

After the meal, well, of course, we were on our way home. From afar, I saw a rugged boy coming toward us. I evaded the eye contact since it is far more appropriate than looking straight to his eyes, and refuse whatever he is going to ask from me. He came closer and closer until he was standing right in front of me. I saw that the boy was selling saging. I was full already, and didn't feel for it, so I just said no thank you. As we were passing, he added saying,

"Dalawa lang, te. Hungry ako."

Who wouldn't have stopped at this?? He sells the remaining two, and he'd be home having some food hopefully, and the sagings were just 10 each.

We gave the boy 20, and told him that he should have the two sagings since he's hungry.

"Thank you, te," said the boy repeatedly. "Uuwi na ako, te."

Considering the fact that he was hungry, I told him that he should eat the saging.

"No, te. para sa kapatid ko," the boy said to us.. OUCH.....................
then he ran... toward home i presumed. I felt weird... almost like guilt.

20 pesos... was not enough...

how much did i spend having a meal? 300... The boy has to sell 30 sagings to eat pizza...

sigh...

I felt sorry for him, and guilty about my little 20peso bill.

While these things were crossing my mind, the boy was also getting further and further from us.
I kept on thinking about it.

Maybe 100m away from home, I see this guy whom I used to see at an internet cafe near my place. Behind him was a white buck - Toyota Rav4, glimmering like a shining star.

Hello.

We greeted him, and went on.
...

Phew! What a day! I thought.

Was I supposed to feel sorry for myself this time? LOL.. hahaha..

So, today, I learned the irony of hierarchy, guys. hahaha...

it's been almost a month since we came to manila, but we still miss our parents, friends, and puppies back in davao.
life here is monotonous. maybe it's because the school hasn't started yet. can't wait for school. =) i hate sitting idle. well, i know i can use this free time to enrich my stock knowledge, but hey... im still human... i need motivation to whip me from my bed, to shun me off from the computers... right now, i have none of that.
sigh..
i know it's my fault. im too weak-minded. im not.. what do they say.. mmm... adament in persuing what is hard to do. sounds so tragic. i don't know why.. anyway.. it's time to stop wining about the monotonous style of living.. soon it's school again. hehe. im kinda excited. school is better than this chaos. hehe i wanna meet new people, nice people, well-mannered, intelligent people, you know... nins is turning into a complete jack ass... into a very thing i hate the most... a liar... dear... anyway, when school starts, i hope i could meet different people of different interests, and i hope they are God-fearing also..
whew... =0) about 15 days to school day.. =0) hehe... can't wait...
till the next time, ciao! ;0)

when they say "leave me alone"

내버려 두세요

내버려두진 마세요
관심과 사랑을 듬뿍 보여주세요
힘들고 지칠때..
혼자있고 싶을때..
옆에 있어 주세요
안아주세요
혼자 있고 싶다는말은
너무너무 외로워서 죽을꺼 같으니
옆에 있어 달라는 말이니까요

the bird and a Frankenstein

제목 : 새 그리고 프랑켄슈타인

작성자 : 정호철



비록,
지금은 공원에 살찐 비둘기들만이 득실대지만...

어렸을 적 공원을 걷다 보면
가끔 벤치주변에서 재잘대는 작은 새를 발견하곤 했어
너무나 이뻐서 다가갈라치면
새는 언제나 나를 몇발자국 남기고 날아가 다신 돌아오진 않았지

그 후로 난...
더욱 조심조심 다가가려 애썼지만
단 한번도 새를 내 손바닥 위에 올려놓을 수 없었어

그리고 깨달았어.

내가 바라보는 너는 작고 예쁜 새이지만
새가 바라보는 나는 크고 무서운 괴물일 뿐이라는 것을 말야

다가가려 애쓰는 것 보다
차라리 그저 멀리서 바라보는 것이
더 오랫동안.. 더 평화롭게.. 새를 바라볼수 있다는 것도...

그리고...

시간이 흘러... 난 너를 보았어...
어릴적 공원에서 내가 예쁜 새를 보았던 그때처럼...
