Smile

June 16, 2010

Ngiti. Ito raw ang isa sa pinaka-madaling paraan para maipakita ang kasiyahan ng isang tao. Napakadaling gawin, kaya nga minsan ginagamit ito ng mga tao para maitago ang kanilang tunay na nararamdaman; kalungkutan, takot, pangamba, at kung ano-ano pa.

Pero may kakilala akong kahit gaano kabigat ang kanyang dinadala, tunay parin ang kanyang mga ngiti. Ang kanyang nakakahawang ngiti. Siya si Ate Henzel.

Sa isang blog-site (Tumblr) ko lang siya nakilala, at sa totoo lang, hindi nga niya ako kilala. Baka nga hindi niya alam na may nage-exist palang ako. Noong una, hindi ko lang pinapansin ang kanyang blog, dahil akala ko ay isa lang siya sa mga bloggers na nagpo-post ng mga larawan ng masasarap na pagkain, pero higit pa pala siya doon. Kelan ko lamang nakita ang kanyang mga personal posts. At ako’y nalungkot. Para bang gusto ko siya yakapin ng mahigpit. Tuluyan kong binasa ang iba niya pang mga sinulat. Ako’y naiyak at namangha sa kanya.

Hindi ko alam ang partikular na karamdaman niya, ngunit kung ano man iyon, alam kong hindi iyon biro. Nagtataka lang ako kung bakit tila ba masaya parin siya kahit na ganoon ang karamdaman niya, hindi naman niya kailangang magkubli. Hindi nga, totoo ang galak niya.

Nalungkot ako. Hindi ko siya kilala sa totoong buhay pero nalungkot ako at napatanong.

Bakit siya? Bakit siyang mabait at matino ang nakakaranas ng ganito? She does not deserve this!

Bakit siya? Habang ako, nagrereklamo sa tuwing naiinitan at nagigising sa umaga, siya nagpapasalamat. Habang ako naririndi tuwing nakakarinig at nakakakita ng mga taong umiiyak, siya pinipilit niyang pasayahin ang mga ito. Habang ako’y nagrereklamo sa tuwing nahihirapan sa buhay, siya ay nagagalak at kinakaya pa niya.

If there’s any way that she can share her pain with me, I’ll insist that she do it. My mind and my heart tells me that she doesn’t deserve this. But I guess God has his own perfect plan, after all, we are living because of His grace. “To live is Christ and to die is gain.” - Philippians 1:21

But just as what the Bible told us, we can pray for our hearts desire because God is so gracious and He listens and responds. And starting today, let it be my prayer that may Ate Henzel’s health smile back to her. Smile.

The Middle-Class Dilemna

June 5, 2010

Hello everyone. How are you doing? Good?

All of us here at home just did a movie marathon yesterday night and if my memory serves me right, they stayed up until 3AM or maybe later, I watched one more movie (I hope they serve beer in Hell) after they decided that it’s already bedtime, so I stayed up until 5AM I think. In short, they’re still sleeping right now. Me, I don’t sleep for more than 5 hours.

It was 10:30AM when the phone rang. I knew that I was the only who’s awake so I had to answer that call. I don’t usually answer phone calls here at home; I don’t like it but the situation forced me to do so.

Well, this story of mine is not about ranting on how I hate to answer a phone calls but about the phone call itself.

So I answered the phone and to my surprise, it was a family friend who I didn’t hear the voice for years now but is still familiar to me. He used to be the one to fix our computer back when me and my sister were still young. (Hey I’m not old yet! I’m just 20 Kay?)

He called because a friend of his was looking for a Web Designer Developer. He then told me all the required skill and experience that his friend needs. He told me that the pay is very good (and when he says very good, it means veeeery good). At first I felt fortunate for the opportunity because it’s as if all the required skill and experience were copied from my resume. He then told me to call a certain employer (yes the employer himself) and tell that person that I’m the Developer he referred; I will be interviewed and if I pass the interview, I will be hired automatically. But here’s the catch.

If I pass, my office would be in Guam.

It’s not that I don’t like to be in Guam, it’s just that working abroad isn’t really a Joshy-thing to do. I studied and graduated in public schools and universities and I know that I must be working for my country first.

Being patriotic is hard when you’re in a middle-class family.

Should I tell my parents about the deal?
