How far would you go to follow your heart?

This week, I was able to catch "A Love Story". Wasn't too keen on watching it, especially after finding out from my newly discovered dance diva friend (Hi, Jemelyn Grace!) that it was a 2-hour film! But then again, it featured an interesting personality, so I gave it a shot.I like the film, but I'm not one to go into reviewing it or analyzing it too much, but here I am writing about this film.

When I watched a movie like this, I wonder if marriage is actually a blessing for the women in general. Why suffer and misery? Are we to be masochistic in love? Isn't love supposed to be something wonderful and fun, and marriage and family a joy?

I suspect there are too many martyrs of their own making. I meet people in real world whose self-esteem and confidence are so low, expectations so non-existent that they are willing to put up with anything.

The young talk of romantic love as if they know it best! The old talk of pragmatic goal much like they have lost faith in love.

Women dream of a family in picture-perfect sense. Men look for sex in progressive tense!

Is there a purpose in marriage? Should there be one? Is unplanned marriage more romantic than planned? How much thinking should be involved in decision? The bottom line for me is:If one does not have the ability to love someone unselfishly enough to protect and cherish her/him, to look after her/his best interest - sometimes above his/her own- and to do so for a lifetime, I don't think the relationship will last.

En route to sky, foreign land.

As our plane begun its last descent towards the NAIA I judged it was going to rain that day. Later however I realized it wasn't going to rain after all. The clouds which I took for rain clouds were actually smog hanging over skyline.

Fr. Daniel Patrick Huang, S.J. reminded me of one thing - life does not only consist of dreaming, hoping and looking forward to our final destination. It is also about looking around and responding to the needs in the here and now.

We are aware now, for instance, that the smoke and the waste gases that we send into the atmosphere produce smog that contributes global warming. Many ills in our society are partly of our own making. Therefore, the solution to such problems lies not up there but very much here with us. Let us therefore get back to work and get involved in the daily social realities that call us to live according to the values of the catholic church.

Hahhaha!! ACET. Magbabantay ako Lolz.. :))

Surprisingly when I woke up this morning, I received a text message from the Director for admissions of Loyola Schools. The funniest of all he already talked with EAA, because the director want / request me to attend a meeting for tomorrow.

The Director said:

You know, that you have really been in touch with God a lot more since that incident. Being faced with someone does something to you. I guess that's the silver lining right there. :)

I am fascinated by the fact that you're part of the school has been bring you so much challenge. Just this day, Father B and I inviting you to be one of the proctors for ACET on September. I discussed the other details for tomorrow.

***

Haha, I know the Father director was serious he doesn't invite me, he forced me to join the team. I couldn't say no, especially when he talked with EAA.

On Monday

I am so excited for Monday. Bea and I are going to hear mass at the Gesu, and someone might actually come with us. Gesu is a beautiful church and how perfect the ambiance is for contemplating. I am so looking forward to it and I can't wait to see the social experimentation. Hehe.

A lesson learned today: Surviving an evil taxi driver

In case you've encountered this taxi, better be careful! I suggest you ride another cab.

The moment it happened this morning, I knew I had to write about it. The title of my entry would be "A lesson learned today: Surviving an evil taxi driver." You see, most of the times I ride a taxi in SM Makati, so I can reach my work in GT Tower on time. For some reason, the taxi that I took this morning, the driver didn't know the GT Tower.

Me: kuya sa GT Tower po ko near sa RCBC Bldg.
Driver: Anong street yung?
Me: Dito po sa ayala, ituturo ko na lang po daan
Driver: Ano ka ba pupunta ka isang lugar di mo alam ang street?
Me: Kuya along ayala nga po.
Driver: Bahala maligaw tayo

The moment I heard that and we were in the phil. stock exchange bldg. (makati), luckily the traffic light was stop, I decided to leave the taxi without paying him, and asked for the help of traffic enforcer there. Of course 2 traffic enforcer helped me immediately, they questioned the driver of the taxi that I took, then they found out that the driver was under by the influenced of illegal drugs. Of course I filed a complain against that person, and it was scary, to be honest I never experience holdup or whatsoever traumatic . Then when I arrived in the office, the daughter of my boss Miss Joanna Abrera-P. was there she known what happened to me. We got our usual talked and she gave me some tips on how could survive an evil taxi driver :

1. Before leaving the house on your way to the office , do the most important thing of all -pray. Use positive words when praying.

2. If you're taking your ride in an taxi terminal, (juts liked in sm makati) that's better since a yellow enforcer gave the passenger a info. which you could use in case you may encountered an evil taxi driver, just like what happened to me. ( see the picture above)

3. If you're not in too much of a hurry, make a quick scan of the taxi you're going to ride.

4. Trust your instincts.There will always be taxi driver who have boundless capacities to irritate their passengers. If you see the driver of the cab isn't okay, then don't ride. Take another taxi or use other form of transportations.

5. For safety, lock the door of the cab as it starts moving.

6. Try to bring a money that got smaller denomination.

7. Don't flaunt your cellphone.Put your phone in silent mode.

For sure , there are other way to make an taxi ride as safe as possible despite that many hassled involved. Whatever they are, there's one basic guideline for all taxi riders: Be alert always.
