Waiting To Fall


Anticipation

Bonifacio Day


Years after his struggle,
Do you think Andres Bonifacio
would be happy to see
what this country
has become?
I think not.

Will We Ever Learn?

Refreshed


After the Rain,
Refreshed,
Renewed,
Revitalized

What Lurks Beneath?


Be Careful.
You don't want to get surprised.
Keep your eyes open.

Embarrassment For Man

God could cause us the keenest embarrassment if He were to reveal to us all the secrets of nature. For boredom and lack of interest we wouldn't know what to do.

Potential

We cannot become what we need to be
by remaining what we are.

Contradiction

It is impossible to learn anything important about anyone until we get him or her to disagree with us; it is only in contradiction that character is disclosed. That is why autocratic employers usually remain so ignorant about the true nature of their subordinates.

Simple No More


Balloons, anyone?

Times has changed for balloons. When I a child, I remembered that balloons are only in round shapes or the long ones used for creating balloon animals. Nowadays, they are already shaped as cartoon characters.

Why is this so? Is is because of growing competition between balloon manufacturers? Has a child's taste changed? Do children prefer elaborately-designed balloons compared to the round one?

For me, I still prefer a bright red round balloon. Come to think of it, I missed holding the string of a balloon for myself. :)

I guess simple things have more meaning than complex ones. You're mind can create more illusions when seeing a bright red round balloon as supposed to a Sponge Bob-shaped balloon.

Smooth Operator


Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels.
The troublemakers. The round
pegs in the square holes - the
ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules and
they have no respect for
the status quo. You can praise
them, disagree with them,
quote them, disbelieve them,
glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing that you
can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.

Jack Kerouac
