Medyo Magaan Na Nga

I've been reading Robert Fulghum's "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten". The author reminds me of Bob Ong, minus the unique Filipino humor. Sometimes it does help to read some books about the thoughts of others, especially when you think the world just stopped spinning because of some consequences for the choices you made(do I need a handkerchief? No thanks). I was 19 minutes late for my English class and my instructor just gave me a verbal spanking. She told me to look again at the student's manual, actually I was about to answer her; "well yeah I was late, parang di ka na nasanay". But thank God my sanity was present at that time, and it saved me from being thrown out of the room.

But back to the topic (by the way, I just found out that my instructor was 15 minutes late), listening (or reading) about the point of view of other people is healthy for the mind and soul. It gives you the space you needed to think and look back at the decisions you made in the past. Mr. Fulghum reminded me of the things I've been missing a lot lately. Reading his short essays made me feel good, "sane living" is what I wanted to call it. I'm a bit off track and good thing this book came by (PDF lang binasa ko wala akong pambili ng hard copy. 585php kasi sa National huhuhu).

It's quite handy to listen to other people's point-of-view, think of it as a helping hand when you're threading an uncharted place, a kind bystander when you're lost and couldn't find the Baliuag Transit Terminal in Cubao, a large neon sign that you saw when you are inside the MRT and it says "Ayala" then your wondering if Quezon Ave. station is close by.

You can never tell to yourself that you know it all and it would be suicidal to reject the knowledge of others. To cut it short, "wala kang mapapala kung nagmamarunong ka". Even at my age I still have a lot of lesson to learn.

Ok tama na drama, nagbawas lang ako ng bagahe (medyo magaan na sya). I'm pleading to those kind at heart to give me a hard copy of "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten", tutal malapit na berday ko...
