Me, by tears…

July 20th, 2005

I… I never cried whenever someone diedMaybe because of I have experienced many times losing my beloved ones.  Maybe you’ll say, don’t cry over the dead, because you’re next. Haha!  That’s not even funny.  That’s scary!

My parents’ two pet dogs died.  I even didn’t have the chance to see them.  Well, I was still a baby back then.  I lost pet rabbits, lots of rabbits, hamsters, lots of hamsters, birds, lots of birds, fishes, lots of fishes,two guinea pigs, named Genie and Piggie, and the recent death was of my Miniature Pinscher male dog, Cobie.  He has the shine of the darkest black, shyness of a child, energy of a kid.  He died.  When I text my mom that our dog, Cobie died, she was sad but somehow, thankful.  She thinks Cobie offered its life for the sake of passing her interview.  She was really crying when she went home.   I was a little surprised.  I didn’t cried.

Last, last (whatever) year, my grandmother in mother’s side died.  I didn’t feel sad nor joy.  I don’t know.  I just stared at her.  Her eyebrows were knitted.  She looks like in pain.  My mom cried, my cousin cried, almost everybody cried.  I never cried.  When I saw mom crying, I tried to cry.  Luckily, tears fell.  I only showed it to others so they may know I really care.  Maybe you’ll say that I’m cruel, evil, and heartless.  Maybe something is wrong in me.  What’s wrong with me? I don’t know.

Last month, while I was browsing over a manga, it talks about death.  A girl never cried in her mother’s burial.  Do you know why?  Because, according to her, if you cry, you acknowledged that the person died really did leave you.  She doesn’t want that to happen so she didn’t cry.  She believed that her mother is still with her.

Oh well, maybe that’s the reason!  I just didn’t realized it back then.  I don’t want those who died to truly leave us.  I don’t want to see them in ghostly apparitions!  Maybe I just want to feel their sweet presence, enveloping me with their motherly protection, whispering to me encouraging words whenever I may fail.  Maybe… that’s right.

WOW! I love this week!

July 15th, 2005

I never thought Fourth year high school life would be an exciting one.  This whole week, July 12-15, 2005, I spend my whole day in school refreshing myself in a room with aircon!  Can’t you believe it?  For 3 days, we were in our school’s auditorium listening to Career Talks.  Well, some are boring but I try not to show it.  But oh gosh!  Friday was a better one!  We spend our whole day inside the Audio-visual room 2!  Inside, there were I think 3 long sofas and one short.  It is colored green!  Then, there is a dining table with chairs, coffee sachets, hot water, and styro cups.  Then there is a tv.  It looks like a condominium!  we were 49 and we fitted in that small room!  We were actually waiting for our interview meeting.  Well, it’s kinda scary. 

But this is the best part.  In the morning, we watched Land Before Time… You know Littlefoot, Sarah and etc.  We had a great time!  Especially the boys!  Next in the Noon, we watched My Sassy Girl.  I kinda like to cry.  It’s a nice, no, great movie!  Can’t believe that was a true story!  Next is, I forgot.  But I know it’s a Korean movie. 

Oh the life!  Such a shame the Career Week is finished…

I’m thanking!

I’m thanking everyone who commented on my posts, especially Michael!  Thank you!  I promise to visit your blogs if I have a time.

Maybe, my next post will be the chapterized story of mine.  I created it from my imagination and with some help from the comics.  I’m doing "Hardly Escaping My Past".  The story revolves around a girl.  When her parents died because of business feud, she entered a life of a professional assassin of a company.  For almost a year or so, she lived a life full of blood (brutal, eh?  Nah!).  But she gained consiousness from her dark world and started to live a life and forgetting her past with her other three siblings.  Well, sometimes, you can’t escape your past.  That’s what happened to her.  I’ll be spoiling you so better not tell more!  I’ll appreciate it if you read it and give me comments on improving it.  It’s better to know other people’s opinions that having only my opinion.  It won’t be a great story to everyone without your help.  So please… watch out for it!

Me_for_passport_2004_3 Ei!  This is me!  Haha!  HAHAHAHA!  You know it’s bad to laugh at your own picture.  Whatever…

THE OMPHALUS HYPOTHESIS

July 13th, 2005

This information really caught my attention.  Not only me but one of my classmates.  I remember second year, Filipino class under Sir Mheong, we had a game.  He asked this, "Pagdating mo sa langit, paano mo mahahanap ang pinaka-unang tao sa mundo, si Adan at si Eba  ( How will you recognize the first man and woman in heaven, Adam and Eve)?".  I… don’t know!  Luigi answered pusod (navel) and it’s correct!  Yehey!  We were exempted from a quiz!  Happy!

I took this article from Reader’s Digest HOW DID IT REALLY HAPPEN? page 30.

By the way, these are some words that you may come across:

  • staunch - firm, steadfast, or loyal in a principle
  • fend - to defend from something
  • vestige - a mark, trace, or visible evidence
  • speculation - a conclusion or opinion reached by such prospect or expectation
  • ruse - a trick, stratagem, or artifice
  • perpetrate - commit

The book Omphalos, by English naturalist Philip Gosse (the creator of the first institutional aquarium) appeared in 1857, providing food for thought for biologists and philosophers alike.  A staunch opponent of evolution, Gosse was nevertheless aware of the fossil and geological evidence in support of it.  To fend off critics, he came up with an answer to a question:  Did Adam and Eve have navels (Greek omphalos)?  Since the navel is a vestige of a birth - the cutting of the umbilical cord - Adam should have been created without one.  But if Adam and Eve were both the model of the human being, they should each have one.

Gosse concluded that Adam and Eve both had navels because they were created as if they had been born from a womb.  He even suggested that Adam may have been created with memories of a childhood that never happened so that he would be a "normal" human being.  This speculation raised the possibility that all the physical evidence for the earth’s antiquity found in the ground - fossil remains; geological formations; prehistoric habitation sites; and even dinosaur fossils - was created in 4004 BC so that the earth would appear to be millions of years old.

Why such a thorough and elaborate ruse would have been perpetrated by the Creator was never made clear - Gosse attributed it to a test of faith - and neither was Gosse ever able to respond to the simplest question critics asked:  How do we know that the entire universe wasn’t created five minutes ago with all of the human history, including the Biblical account of Creation, embedded in our memories as if it really happened?

Do you think it’s interesting?  I find it very interesting!  I’m open to comments!  Please comment to me!  Now you know how to find Adam and Eve in heaven.  ^_^

Happy 6th monthsary Tropang B!

July 12th, 2005

It is almost 6 months!  Hehe… so that means… uhm… we started in… January 13, 2005?  Am I right?  Well, that mischievous things we did to other people is fun!  Okay, not that fun…

My sister asked me why do we make such tropang tropang whatever.  She even boasted to me that they don’t make such tropang like that because of something.  She is one of the Anti-backstabbers, or whatever.  I, somehow, have three Tropa.  Tropang Noname, Tropang B, and Tropang QC (or Quake Cake).  Well, the reason why we make such this things is because there are unforgetable moments that happened between a group, I guess.  Am I right?  Wrong?  Well, it’s not bad to have so many tropa.  All I know, for me,  something exciting happened that’s why there came a creation of new tropa.

I wish Izel I answered your question!
