we all take differents paths in life,
but no matter where we go,
we always take a little of each other everywhere....

On my way home last Thursday night (which by the way was Tina's birthday), I encountered an untimely stranger who had me pondering on the truth that life isn't really fair. It never was, to begin with anyway.
I was looking out the window when the traffic light went red. all vehicles came to a halt. my eyes scanned the area when a glare caught my attention, so i turned to that direction. There my eyes met the blunt stare of a man, who was a deadpan for the record, sitting at the far edge of a jeepney and he was holding this placard that says, "media censored news. the globally round earth suddenly became locally flat." I won't be a hypocrite and tell you that it immediately made an imprint on my pea brain. i had to re-read the text to get an inkling of what his message is. i looked up to him and he just nodded at me so i nodded back. and that was all it took, the green light was on and the vehicles went their own ways. i lost sight of him but the message started to kick off.
he's no hobo of some sort. he looks like a philantrophist and it seems that he has with him an untold story that he deems necessary for the public to know.although i have no idea what is his real story. reminds me of the Nestle issue?? doesn't it? may be he found the media unfair because it restricted a certain information? thus he says that the globally round earth suddenly became locally flat because it prohibited us from seeing 360 degress and limited the view to a flat surface that they have presented thinking we should only take things as it is, or rather how they present it the way they want us to see it.
what scares me is that I am to step into that kind of world. people will see your job as a medium but you might disappont them when you fail to do your part for people like them because the system whether you like it or not might suck you in. which i don't want to happen to me but i don't really know what lies ahead. I'm too young to even know shit.
this media driven world today... can be really scary.
think happy thoughts!

“Mangarap ka at abutin mo ito. Huwag mo sisihin ang sira mong pamilya,
palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa iyo ang
magulang mo, pwede kang manisi at magrebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, magdrugs ka, magpakulay
ng buhok sa kili-kili. Sa bandang huli, ikaw din ang biktima. Rebeldeng walang napatunayan at
bait sa sarili. Kaya … enjoy life. Learn how to play the game.” — Bob Ong from Stainless
