book worm

I must admit that I was a bit of a bookworm. oooohh Let me rephrase that I have been a book worm since I first started hoarding and hiding the Nancy Drew books in the school library. Or was it when my mother insisted that I buy books instead of toys or that i make sure that I have a balance of both. Needless to say that growing up, I often find my nose buried in a book. That was how my cousins saw me since every vacation I was always with some paperback on my hands. My classmates considered me well read. In reality, though, I believe there are a lot of people out there who read more than I do. But there are still others who think that reading is such a burden. I cannot imagine how life was for them not knowing the thrill of how a story unfolds or why the antagonist turned dark and how the protagonist overpowers the odds. I cannot think of how they do not know how books can get them anywhere or how it can make them understand things that have not been experienced yet.

There was a time my mother had to stop me from reading because my eyesight was so weak and my grade has been escallating, but books have never stopped beckoning for me. I used books to know things, I read when I am feeling low. I used books to pass the time. I do not know what my life would be like without readings books.And as I hear people who do not have any interest in reading at all, I feel sad for them and the possibilities that await them if they would only pick a book.

kiss and tell

i realized that nobody wants a kiss and tell...much more a show and tell which seems to be the case lately.....

how can that be a video diary? then it means this guy has videos of himself doing all sort of things in a day if this is indeed a diary. What a cool way to circumvent the truth....call it any other way.

Conflicted

The recent sex video scandals have left Filipinos buzzing with judgement, with interest, and everything else in between. It brings to the fore a lot of issues that is not about sex alone. It questions the way society sees women. It shows how promiscuity has been eating up our society. It makes us question privacy, perversity, and psychological problems. The one that would take the worst beating will have to be love.

Personally, I feel bad for the girls (involved) who were in love. Because the act that they thought was something intimate and sacred is now marred by a real scandal for all the world to see. Now, instead of a loving act between two people, it has become a spectacle and that one thing that would make them feel regretting ever loving that person ever. They probably hoped that person were never born.

Heck what am I talking about? Bottomline is- I think love is love and whatever it is that two people shared intimately should be between the two of them. Why do we cringed when couples are doing acts of public display of affection? Why do we not want to see even our friends making out in front of us? It is because something as intimate is something that is not for public consumption. It makes a mockery out of love. It makes a mockery out of trusting people we love.
