Email

My friend who is working abroad emailed to say that she is getting married in a couple of months and was asking me to come to her wedding. Yeah I'd go if I could. (If it would be held here in Manila yeah I'd go).

I wonder if I would ever decide to drop the anchor and stop sailing. Maybe it's because I've been so hardened by many worse experiences that tells me to be careful before ever doing something that will change your life (again).

I am so tired of all this, that sometimes that I wish girls would be able to give birth easily even when they're past 30 and that menopause would be 10 years more than what's known now, that would be the shit..

..and that the honest money you make is commensurate to your cost of living.

That's my scapegoat for this post.. I don't know what it is about it, but it seems that everything you say sounds like a scapegoat to some other person, even if it isn't..

Little things vol. 3

You make your own problems

My niece was asking me to give her this and that for christmas. Then I told her that I would if she had really good grades in school. After mentioning this, she said that school was hard because of this and that (accdg. to her she is weak in math). When I asked her what she does to prepare for tests, there it was -- she spends more time chatting with her friends on the phone than studying. I simply told her that if you want to ruin your life as early as highschool, be my guest. When you do the things when you're not supposed to do them, you cause your own problems.

I think this is the case with adults even at a bigger scale. I know of people having problems with monthly payments on stuff they couldn't really afford. They do so because they wanted to show off this and that to their friends. And if I thought stuff like this ended during childhood, I was so wrong. Well it's their money and they're budget is really fucked.

Is all life equal?

Let's say you were a professional doctor and you had two patients to operate on - both are babies with requiring the same medical surgery, the other is the baby of a poor family and the other baby is that from a rich family. The poor family's baby was rushed in the hospital first.

Who will you operate on?

Unnecessary

I know of people who are more or less my friends. (un)fortunately I know a lot who were in a relationship now and they're in splitsville. It's really funny when you stumble upon the testimonials they make, it's almost 100% sure that they're "nagpaparinig" (trans: sour-graping) to the one who left. It's amusing, if not pathetic, that people have become so attached to an imbalancing factor in life.. that is... making love the center of their life. I'm being careful when I say "the center" because a good life is a balance of everything.
