T.I.I.S. day today

i was inspired to blog when i read kevin's blog. it really makes a difference if your good friend is writing his own blog, you are forced to update your own. odd as it may seem, i am motivated by kevin's dedication to his blog. labo. parang laging blog nang blog si kevin. sa totoo lang, gusto ko lang talagang magblog ngayong valentine's day.

gaya sa topic ko, heto ang mahusay na araw ng T.I.I.S. club. yung Tang Ina I'm Single Club. hehehe. for my readers, i'm sorry if you're scandalized by this but this is how the loveless singles put it, especially those who are really in despair. yaks. parang wala nang pag-asa. hehe.

SINGLE BLESSEDNESS. come to think of it, there's nothing wrong with being single. in fact, marami pa rin sa mundo ang nananatiling walang kapares sa buhay. i don't think the word "nag-iisa" is appropriate for this setting. kaya pakiramdam ko malungkot ang connotation sa mga Pilipino ng pagiging single ay dahil sa Filipino literal counterpart niya, which is "nag-iisa." malungkot di ba? sino bang may gustong maging mag-isa? wala naman. pero ang magkaroon ng kapares, kahati, kasama, kayakap, kalabing-labing... at kung anu-ano pa, ibang kwento na 'yan.

ngunit, puna ko lang. natutuwa lang ako tuwing sasapit ang panahon ng valentine's dahil parang lalong dumarami ang naaawa sa kanilang sarili dahil sa pagiging mag-isa sa buhay. bukod sa pasko, ito ang okasyong, nako, sangkatutak ang naghahanap. parang last minute shopping o paghahabol sa last full show. tila ba mauubusan sila ng stock pag nananatili silang single sa pagsapit ng araw na ito. wala lang. just an observation. siguro, as humans, we want to belong and everytime we see a couple walking with their hands holding, or a couple that is sitting sweetly on a bench, we tend to be envious. "i want that also." then, loneliness sets in. sa kagustuhan nating kiligin kapag nakakakita ng ibang inlab, tayo mismong mga singgol ang naaapektuhan lalo na't kung titingnan natin ang ating sarili. "ako'y malungkot na naman..." hehe. ganito talaga. gusto natin lahat umibig eh.

pakalasing na lang tayo sa pag-ibig. oh well. by the way, got to spend the evening with the guys after a really jampacked day, especially during the afternoon. nakoh, lalo na sa LC meeting. lupet! wala lang, it's very much different sharing a day when couples are likely out dating, with people you're working with. wala lang...

yun na muna. pero hindi pa tapos ang valentine's fever and reflections galore. i will post some of the sent love articles sa egroups namin dito. hehe.

---

by the way, let us pray for the victims of the recent wave of bombings here in the philippines. Lord God, touch the hearts of the people who turned away from you. please pursue them and lead them to your heart. reach out for the good in them and make them stop hurting others. we offer you another day Lord and as the evening finally closes, i hope that everything would be better. amen.

panalo tayo mga kabarangay!

GINEBRA is the CHAMPION team for the all-filipino cup. woohoo. we won. kahit sabihin pa ng marami na jologs o pangmasa lang ang team na ito, the fact still remains that it is the most popular team in the league. kahit magpalit-palit pa sila ng players, the ginebra spirit lives on. do-or-die and never say die. of course, hindi lang sila sikat nang walang dahilan. in this season, ginebra has proven that it is a very talented and strong team.

GALING NG GINEBRA, kahit wala si jayjay na malaki ang contribution sa team. ang galing ng mga nagstep up, with special mention to sunday salvacion. hehe. sayang, i was not able to watch it since i had to watch my sister's concert. oh well. at least, panalo ginebra.

kaya sa mga bumabatikos sa aking pagsuporta sa team na ito, alam niyo naman siguro ang dahilan kung bakit sila ang paborito ko. magaling at malalaki ang puso.

MABUHAY mga taga-BARANGAY GINEBRA! the championship is ours. nagdiriwang na ang buong bayan. CONGRATULATIONS!

porqi po, taga-barangay GINEBRA.

another prayer session and oprah

we just had a very light prayer session. it's focused more on the sharing than the silencing and meditation. it was brief but it was as meaningful as any prayer session we had. kaya medyo masaya ako. magandang pagtatapos sa aking araw ito.

my reflection on oprah:
i've been watching oprah for the longest time and i can say i'm a fan of hers. her show features just about anything that any person can relate to -- from serious ones, like family issues, crimes and victims, to the lighter ones, like food, decorating, and celebrity interviews.

kanina, a portion of her show featured her book club. i saw women carrying her last book "anna karenina" and ran as if they were in a marathon to symbolize that they finished reading a very intimidating book. my impression of them is that they are oprah's followers, as if in a cult and oprah is their head minister or leader. they just follow what she does or says. nothing against that, though. in fact, i like her way of leading people.

after cheering and dancing around as they announced that they finished the book by tolstoy, oprah promoted her next book on her club. guess what? it's THE GOOD EARTH. my GOD! i had bad memories with that book and most books that i encountered in high school. hehe. i was not a fan of books being read for academic purposes. basta leisure reading masaya. ayoko talaga yung good earth. it's so boring for me. no offense meant!

the point is, however, oprah has influenced lives of many people. these people are just testaments to this fact. but oprah uses that influence in a good manner. i just admire her way of promoting reading and reading good and classic books. in this age of technology and easy access, with everything instant, it is nice to go back to the most primitive yet enriching form of gathering information and learning, which is through reading. galing lang talaga. siyempre, with booknotes and reading guides yan online. o ha? hehe. san ka pa?

wala lang... galing lang ni oprah. also, i love when she features all her good deeds, through my favorite things, angel network and use your life award. of course, i can't help but mention her south africa experience, where she celebrated christmas with the kids there. i could not stop my tears from falling. grabe. GO OPRAH!
