An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?

There is never a night that i just cannot end when i could not get to watch this tv Filipino drama anthology series entitled "Maging Sino Ka Man". I get hooked into the story that i cant wait to see its final episode. The theme of the story is all about love, family and revenge. I could say that from day one up to this point in time, this "teleserye" is intellectually scripted. What a wonderful story about characters whose lives truly evolve in love but because of the conflicting situations where family is involved, one is willing to sacrifice his love only to avenge his family.

The story has a very good lesson if viewers try to dig what this series is actually trying to teach. It's a kind of story that will move you and make you an intelligent viewer (well to my own assessment). Well i must say, congratulations to the writers and directors of this teleserye. It's not just an ordinarily made plot and conflict but very well-done work of art...aside from the fact that the actors are all doing a great part and portrayal of roles.

We all go back to being human when hurt...our natural reaction is to avenge ourselves and loved ones. But as I watched closely to the ends of it all, while i was so immersed last night watching "Maging sino ka Man"..there is still greater realization at the end of all hatred...a mistake will always be a mistake if what one has all in mind is but revenge.

Sabi naman nila, di na uso ang martyr ngayon,wala nang binabaril sa Luneta... kasi ang park ngayon lovers' nest na!;0

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?" or "If someone slap you on the right cheek, turn your left cheek too and have it slapped?". O di kayay, kapag binato ka nang bato, batuhin mo ng tinapay pero kasama ang boteng lalagyan nito!harhar!;0) Ang hirap din ano?kasi galit ka eh!sigh!;(

Which way are you?

Re: Am setting you free..

Well this sharing is a long one...

One time, i received an email from a guy in the states ,whom i met online almost two years ago. He's in his early 40's,single but in a relationship, a filipino but already a U.S citizen,living in the States since his childhood. The subject of his email goes like this: Re: Am setting you free.
.
I got curious with it and thought of the possibility that this might mean something very important to part of the sender. My intuition was right. While reading the entire thought of the email, i realized that the email comes from a filipina woman whom he so fell in love with.It's a break-up letter addressed to him.

Memories of my past, the first time i knew him online, flashed back on me. The lady's name was the same woman he once told me that he's so deeply in love with for a very long time. But the break-up letter I noticed was just recently made the moment he forwarded it on me and to all the ladies he knows or communicates with in the internet. Take note: forwarding the break-up letter of a woman so innocent, so hurt, that the guy (on the other hand),while adding insult to injury, sharing such personal letter to everybody!!!

And I was like..whoaaa!what's this?? And so without ado, i emailed him back and asked what was going on. The reply was brief but precise: "just want the world to know that i am open now to market". I got pissed off with his response...he was forwarding the email to all the girls in the net, at the expense of the this woman's feeling, only to simply tell the entire cyberspace that he's available again?!;0

I was trying to analyze the possibilities of their break-up based from the woman's email, and the reason is clear.. the guy doesn't trust the woman. YOu'd be moved if you get to read the woman's email. But i recall how I ended my friendship with this man. The lady who wrote the break-up letter shares the same dilemma with me. My communication with him ended too about a year ago because he just couldn't believe that I am real...he simply thought that i'm just a scam.

After all those times when I was his shock absorber, outlet and adviser...finding him too insecure and full of doubts...while I was there to at least boost his ego,to let him go out of his shell,to learn to trust and to just continue wooing this filipina woman...he remained doubtful of my intention. He even got my number only to find out that his real motive of calling was simply to verify if my voice sounds like the other women he was wooing in cyberspace. I laughed at his idea but my God! i was sooo upset!!After all, my friendship with him went wasted and I was even wasting my time of responding his email only to find out that he never believed in my existence in the first place. And so in response i asked him to drop our friendship and stop communicating with me. I wouldn't care to explain for my side or for the things i am never guilty of. From then on, we stop hearing from each other.

Out of my concern to the lady i forwarded back to her the break-up letter. I don't know if I made the right move. I never meddled anyone else's personal experience in all my life, unless my advise is needed. The fact that these two people involved are after all, still total strangers to me. But the following day, i received a very long email from the woman,telling me how even hurt she is with what the guy did to her. There from her email, the filipina woman narrated all the things she did only to let the guy believe that she's honest and real. I found out too that she's a girl from Makati, Metro Manila, working in a logistic company, a professional, and most of all so young and pretty. I realized how much she so love this man but to just end her struggle, she finally decided to end their relationship.


I've heard a lot of stories in the internet..in the chat room..in this cyberspace about filipina women, if not opportunists, are the ones' being played around by men in the other end of the line. But the lesson here is simple and clear: In an instance one will know and find out that everything is just a game between them if along with their conversation or even trading emails that something is actually missing...go surf and see the in depth of your sharing...and if one still think that still it's not real i advise either party to drop everything to make the story short before you both lose respect with each other. Move on in life, and settle for something that will fill you with purpose. We all fall in love..and trust is very important no matter how distance separates you both...very risky...so clueless for both people involve...life is a game of chance. You get hurt now but later on, in time, you'll learn to trust again, and for sure it will be for the right reason..for the right person.

Life is like that...we all get hurt in order to learn.

How I started this journey...

Remembering the first time gladys, my very good friend, introduced the blogger to me.I was perplexed. And then I asked her,"What will I write?". If it's about putting my thoughts into journal while anybody can get on it and have some feast 'bout it...nah!I dont see myself too open 'bout my feelings and personal experiences especially to the public!Besides,I've only got a typical and stereotype way of living. But Glad said, I could give it a try.

Well I admit to be a very low profile person. At first, I thought of how poor my vocabularies might appear to be..all that's in between. But when I got to invade the sites of TK,lojik,razzy and ghee.. and how they speak their minds in their blogs,one light for me was switched on...and then i realized that blogging is not actually about how orderly my grammar would appear to be(though it matters still of course!) ...but it's simply putting down my emotion and let the thoughts flow....who knows i could make a difference in my life here? I don't know,maybe Gladys was right...i find the other side of me in this "journey".

I've learned to open up here and it helps especially the comments...I've learned a lot about myself....the things that keep me going....my passion....and the people I've come to know. Thanks everyone!Salamat sa mga nagtiyaga sa mga kakornehan, nakiramdam at nakibasa...lalo na sa mga taong ni-link ako..it's overwhelming that inspite of life's circumstances as being antagonistic sometimes...i know i am living in beautiful world still. Your advices, comments, suggestions and most of all your FRIENDSHIP here... all for free! What else can I say BUt isang taos-pusong "SALAMAT!

Campaign me!

I couldn't help but laugh watching over national television, politicians doing their own strategic ways of campaigning. It looks awkward actually, seeing some candidates dancing or interacting with the unconventional( it's a mismatch!hehe!).Have you noticed that in their ads? Images of poor ones are visibly used....even that of priest, nuns and poor teachers dancing to the tune of their own jingle. This time, politicians need the poors' facade. Just their facade. Witnessing these politicians mingling with the masses while expressing their platforms...And then after the election...they're nowhere to be found. Minsan nakakalungkot isipin. Politics in the Philippines has grown to be a big joke at all. Eleksyon na naman. At Isang malaking lokohan na naman ito. Seeing the people of the Philippines so undecided whom to believe..when to believe. Might be a new challenge for us voters. Good luck people of the RP!

How do I love thee...



If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Love never ends.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is LOVE.

The three languages of LOVE

They say that love comes in different languages. No, Don't take it literally, it's not the spoken one per se...but it's how people express their love in different ways. Here's my own ideology...(assumption ko lang..hehe!)

1. The romantic or sentimental ones...express love thru words and flowers, chocolates or letters and even objects...they're the most outspoken kind of lovers.

2. The silent ones...they're not much mushy, maybe just too shy to express their feelings into words, but as a partner, you'll know eventually that there's more to words and flowers or chocolates..you'll just read feelings in their eyes and their actions...and you know that it's still something tangible or real.

3.The non-expressive at all..oh no!they're not the ones with a heart as hard as rock..they can be misinterpreted most of the times for they even forget to greet you on special events or occasions, but you know that he/she is just there in one corner, always with you thru the happiest and the saddest times of your life. They may be non-expressive at all, but by just being there for you means more than the expressions of love.

Which one are you?;0)

imagine...



sometimes we wish that life is just plain and simple....
and then imagine...
...a world.. without terrorism that kills innocents and dreams.
...a government without corruption or greediness.
....a religion or race without criticism.
..and all the things beyond.

sometimes we wish...i wish..and then i imagine...
...while half asleep...
the serenity of hearts and minds..
...for you and me
.. for our people...
..our children...
and our children's children.
