The Irony of Life: Win or Lose

We see the signs of poverty everywhere in Manila, especially when it is night and raining. We see the whole families pushing "karitons" carts of junk or camping out along the side of roads at night, with just a small fire to cook their rice. Some families sleeping over night near corridors of old and abandoned buildings, footbridges and sidewalks. There are little girls selling Sampaguita flowers in the traffic. In the rain, their faces float up to the windows of our cars as mermaids did long ago bewitching old sailors. (Are they safe from predators?)  Six or Nine-year old boys hang on to the back of racing jeepneys, so they can beg from passengers. (They are supposedly inside the classroom studying).

There are teenager prostitutes scattered along Metro Manila area waiting for customers each night. Old people begging on the street, some are scavenging to survive. The above situations are just snapshots of poverty.

This is the irony of life. When I was reading a broadsheet, what caught my attention was a former real estate broker who won the lotto jackpot price. People betting, gambling, and expecting that they will strike the correct number combination. Even if they have the last penny in their pockets still eagerness to win the jackpot price is their main reason.

 As I convey this news to others, they only say one thing. "Mayaman na lang ang nananalo at yumayaman" (Rich people become richer, they always win)

.

People were addicted in "Lotto" hoping that someday this kind of game/gamble will improve their way of living.

If only officials in Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) are dedicated in their vision/mission and other charity activities they have maybe someday no more poor and underprivileged people living in our country. No more squatters and hungry mouths to feed. Poor people will someday be treated equally

Barbaric deeds of Bandits

It was two weeks ago when a friend of mine, sent this video. He is a Policeman patrolling around Ortigas Center. As I clicked the play button, I was flabbergasted! I want to vomit,  and horrified as I watch every detail of this barbaric act. Still experiencing goose bumps as I finished to watch the video. 
I felt sympathy towards these civilians and marines abducted by these bandits in Mindanao. Is the government and military officials aware of this video?

If ever it is out for the public to watch, Is justice prevail? It is been so long time that Peace Talks agreement was implemented. But it seems these uncivilized people keep on doing such obscene act. Or maybe they don't understand peace talk means?

How many Presidents elected in the Philippines and keep tracking to the hidden agendas of these bandits. But still failed to do so. Are other officials behind this act? Or powerful people have their dual appearances, that the  security system in our country is in chaos?

As a concern citizen, I don't know when will these bandits stop in doing such cruel and mean thing. If only we can be 24 hours awake just to monitor our society against the attack of these thugs and scoundrels, probably it would be a ZERO crime rate.

Pain or Pleasure

Why do you want a tattoo on your body? What part of your body you want to put on tattoo? How does it feel then?

I consider "tattoo" as body art. It's your own choice what design or style you wanted. You can do what you want as long as you have these: disposable needles, pen, body ink and coil machine.

I was curious, what's the feeling if you are a model in such tattoo making. Posing in front of audiences, judges and other artists while these artists doing some experiment on your skin.

On my second encounter with this Tattoo Artist, I asked him what motivates him in entering Tattoo Industry.

He was fond of drawings, sketches and pictures in his younger age. He started as Face Painter during special occasions and events. Followed by practicing Henna Tattoo. Now,  on his 9th year in profession he achieved minor and major awards during Tattoo competition.

With keen determination, perseverance, and rigid training in Tattoo Industry from a Face Painter-Henna Tattoo-Permanent Tattoo Artist, now he was sought after clients/models/artists/foreigners in terms of unique tattoo style.

Aside from vying in a competition, he puts up his own Tattoo business  in one of the Mall in Metro Manila.

Goodbye Singlehood

In what point in your life, you asked "When will I be ready to settle down?

We have different perspective in handling a serious relationship. Some of us have been through a short engagement before getting married. Others experienced a long courtship before being engaged.

Do you really believe in destiny? Does love at first sight really exist?

I really believe in happily ever after per se. I am a dreamer, believer and idealistic person. Since young, I'm dreaming for a fairy tale love story with a happy ending. I want to share this article a love story of my dearest close friend.

Year 2002 when I enrolled in this university for my second degree course. It was a first day in school so we don't have much tasks to do. As a freshman in the class, we just introduced ourselves and mingled with one another. When the bell rang, we decided to spend our leisure time in the library.  I was in an international class so I met students in different subjects and department.

In the library, I was checking my pink form on what subject and room will I be. I,with my new classmates approached me regarding our next subject. Then I met this young, petite and smart girl. I don't know her by name. But she was my classmate in one of my minor subjects.

I read her pink form with a plastered smile on my face. She sat beside me while comparing our subjects and designated rooms. Both of us chuckle and talking loud, without noticing that we were inside the library.

The first thing I noticed is the province she came from and her birthday. (Lol!)

Yes! We have same birthday (never mind the year), and same roots where our ancestors lived. Till there and then, I found a true friend, sister, and confidante. Both of us built a good rapport, shared our secrets and lent a helping hand through our ups and downs.

It was 2004, my friend disclosed about this guy courting her. I teased her at last there someone out there who captured her untamed heart.

We both giggling, throwing pillow and humming with the beat of our hearts.

In the first place, she doesn't like the guy. I told her, "The more you hate, the more you love."

The guy who's studying in Ilocos, whenever he has time or during semetral break, goes to Baguio to visit my friend.

Our school is under trimestral scheme. If others have their semetral vacation, whereas classes still going on. By any chances, the guy persistently chasing my friend.

There was a time, when I stood as a chaperone to them.

We strolled at SM Baguio, Burnham Park, Minesview, Session Road and food trips.

We had a great fun. My friend, slowly knowing the character of this guy. He's such a gentleman, kind, and full of good character.

I was then a witnessed in their new relationship while we were in college.

We  parted ways in 2005 when we graduated. Even though long distance, our friendship still in smooth sailing. We have a constant communication. She visits me in my work and spends long hours talking, laughing out loud when she goes to Manila. Sometimes she sleeps in the boarding house for bonding and jamming.

Recently, she told me they decided to settle down. After seven long years of waiting as boyfriend/girlfriend, at last they will tie a knot early next year.

I was so excited as I heard the good news. I am looking forward to be a part of  this memorable event of  their lives. I am counting for more years for them as a lovely couple and kids to continue their everlasting love and care.

To you my dear friend, little sister, and my lucky charm wishing you all the best in life. I hold you in my heart forever.
