the world's a stage: last saturday

It was total brown out and complete boredom. The whole day it was raining and the winds were very strong it even knocked out our plants. Poor plants. As I was saying, there was brown out from 7 am to 6 pm. Well, it would have been okay since it was cold and everything but there was one problem...no water. Which means that we can't take a bath. So we didn't take a bath. 4 pm and I was still in my pajamas.

So what we did was get water from the rain and took a bath. Pero, ang dulas ng tubig.

I should have waited for 2 more hours. But I didn't know naman that electricity would come back that day. We all thought it would come back the next day pa. haha Stupid.

kaya ng pinoy!

Kaya naman talaga ng Pinoy!

Congratulations to Leo Oracion and Pastor Emata for successfuly climbing Mt. Everest. Makes us proud to be Filipinos. Of course, my congratulations also to all the Filipino climbers who are still on their way to the summit.

This just tells us that we can do things which seem impossible if only we set our minds on it. Sino ang nagsabi na walang binatbat ang mga Pinoy? Well, this proves them wrong. We can do a lot of things if we are given the chance. I believe that Filipinos have a lot of potential in different things. There's a lot we can do. We are good at a lot of things. Music, sports, arts, name it, we could do it. We just have to know our capabilities and push ourselves to out limit. We wouldn't know how much we can give and how far we can go if we limit ourselves.

Sometimes, it is even we who put ourselves down. 'Yun din naman ang pagkakamali nating mga Pinoy. I saw a TV show where a person was asked what his job was. And he said, "Tricycle driver LANG po." And it was a good thing the host said that he shouldn't say lang, which is true. His job is clean so he doesn't need to be shy about it. In fact, he should be proud. There are a lot of cases like this. I don't know why but there are people who look down on themselves when they're not supposed to. Maybe it's also this reason why other people from other countries look down on us. It is because we are the first ones to look down on ourselves. And I think it is this attitude we need to change. Am I right? We need to believe in ourselves and other people will believe in us.

my hands

I've been thinking what to answer whem I would be asked which part of my body is my favorite. Well, I've thought about it and it would be my hands.

I just love my hands. There are a lot of things which I can do with them. I could write well, paint and play with colors well, play the piano well, cook well and so many other things. Minsan nga naiisip ko na baka nga 'yung kinulang sa tangkad ko eh nilagay ng Diyos sa mga kamay ko. And if I would be given the chance to exchange height with my hands. Well...I'll think about it.

Just kidding! No, of course I wouldn't. Why would I exchange my hands for something physical? Ano ba ang magagawa ng tangkad sakin? I may not be tall but I've got hands which can do a whole lot of things and I'm happy with it. I'm blessed with such hands and I won't exchange it with anything else.

I don't care if people would think I'm too small. So what? I've got talent. Kapag insip mo, ano bang mas gugustuhin mo, 'yung matangkad ka nga at wala ka namang nagagawa o 'yung maliit ka nga pero ang dami mong talento na maaaring ibahagi sa iba? For me, I would choose the latter one. Not everyone can do the things that I do. Some people would want to have more talent and things which they can do. But me, I already have them and I am so blessed to have these gifts. So why would I exchange it for some physical thing? And it's true, great gifts come in small packages. haha
