Ricky Rivero on Forgiveness

Recently I watched an interview of Boy Abundo on Ricky Rivero, the gay survivor of an attempted murder and robbery. Asked whether he has already forgiven the criminal, he replied: "In my heart I believe I have already forgiven him, but I believe that justice has to be served.". Very well said. Justice first comes before forgiveness. This is probably the reason why I can't seem to forgive my mother now. I haven't had any justice from all the wicked things she did to me. Justice is mandatory and is everyone's right to have it. Forgiveness is optional and a privilege given to others. Be thankful if you have been granted that privilege, otherwise, don't demand forgiveness from others just because your Church says so. Forgiveness is not mandatory. Justice is.

My Cell Phone got Snatched in the MRT yesterday

I am just so depressed today. My Samsung Galaxy S which I bought at 36K 7 months ago got snatched in the MRT Ayala Station around 7:00-7:20pm. The phone was just sitting in my pocket with an earphone attached an connected to my ears. When I was about to board the train, I noticed two men were violently pushing me inwards to the train. It was strange that they were pushing me since there were not so many passengers that moment. When I turned to look at them, I suddenly felt a hand brush into my pocket. And then I just saw my earphones dangling with my phone gone. Out of panic, I shouted, "Yung phone ko nawala". A man beside me told me that he saw the snatcher ran outside. I dont know why but I belived him so I ran outside. But as soon as I saw the door closed, that man laughed. He was one of the snatchers. This is so depressing.

Steel Trains for Robots

I don't know why this phrase keeps repeating in my dreams these past few days...

3 examples of insincere apologies

1. Kapag may sinabi along these lines: "Sorry na. Masaya ka na?"
2. Kapag nagsorry pero nageexplain pa na sya pa ung kawawa sa inyung dalawa.
3. Kapag may sinabi that goes something like: "Sorry kung feeling mo mali ako."
