“CHILD-FRIENDLY Space” (????)

WHAT SAY YOU?

I strongly believe that main thoroughfares like EDSA- where traffic is always heavy,
should be maintained as a “child-friendly space”…

EDSA, Manila Philippines- Calling the attention of the proper authorities- PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THIS MAIN THOROUGHFARE IS SAFE FOR CHILDREN.

That, I think, is not the case in this picture-not when a small child is being taken for a motorcycle ride, and just being carried through the arms of a passenger  in this small vehicle while the driver keeps on trying to maneuver and to overtake all the big buses and trucks  in there.

The life of a child is more precious that catching up with time- with schedules and all.

“Equality” and “Fairness” :-)

The world certainly provides for some kind of "equalizers"...:-)

These  are two different means of transportation. And, these are certainly “not equal” in terms of speed. These are most common vehicles here in the Philippines.

One is motorized- the tricycle; the other is pulled by a horse- the carriage or what we call the “kalesa”.

Looking at the picture metaphorically-
What could you possibly think about?
What kind of understanding or reflection could you possibly think of?
Hope you won’t mind sharing your thoughts,

Human Trafficking..:-)

Here’s something for a humorous Wednesday,

Just another definition of "human trafficking" LOL!

Well, instead of getting annoyed and frustrated when trapped into “traffic jams” just like that photo above,  I strongly suggest that one has  to have some better things to do- like maybe, doing mental exercises and trying to come up with a doable solution to stop world hunger, etc. But for me, the best way to spent such time would be thinking happy thoughts. I tend to always find something funny even in irritating situations. There goes some kind of well spent “quality time” .

Okay- here are some “plus factors” that one may consider as “benefits  gained” by being a good sport and still remain as a charming piece of humanity when  caught up in similar kind of human entanglement a.k.a. human  traffic jams-

First, one would be spared for a sudden shot of blood pressure- your insurance agent won’t be a happy camper you know.

Second, it would save one a lot more time – which ironically, is everyone’s excuse for their unacceptable, selfish, inhumane displays of   behavior when caught into these human traffic jams (and I mean, some people  just cease to become “humans”- like they would be transformed into some kind of fidgeting, irritated, growling animals wearing fancy corporate get-ups/the professional look or whatever- with the usual bland excuse of meeting deadlines, that their very important, precious, schedules would be ruined!)

As if everybody conspired to create this human traffics just to annoy them, tsk tsk tsk… very important people eh?

Third, one won’t be needing a face lift too soon.

And- there goes my morning “reflections”…

Smile!!

Like Water…

I’m in my usual reflective mood and having coffee…

If Life is like water, does it mean that life takes many forms? Does it mean that the essence of life may not be magnified without external factors being thrown into it? Quite possibly- but am sure, others would look at it differently.

Blueberry Muffins

Okay- blueberry muffins and not so hot brewed benguet coffee for breakfast, great

no time for brooding and reflections-guessed that was blocked out when something popped up that was immediately filtered as…
i don’t know- just that people can be so selfish without them knowing it.

There. already finished checking my mails. Time to move now. have to go out early- errands, errands, errands.

Quotes to Think About:

“The chief problem of people in the middle decade of the twentieth century is emptiness.”

• Rollo May (1952)

That’s it for now. A cheerful Good night to you all from the peaceful city of “lights”.

Wisdom Tooth

And so i went- and there- once again, I fought my fears- the Dentist’s gadgets.

Question- when one’s wisdom tooth’s gone, would it mean that- one is no longer wise?

Kidding aside, what I realize today is that-when that “fear” surfaces, one’s resiliency comes into play as well. Mine seem to rests on being talkative when nervous- as always, hehe. Of course it was painful, when doc carol was pulling my tooth-but I know I have to feel that pain- because I want that tooth gone.

Just like Life- when we decide to let go of something, we have to brace our selves for a painful ride; but at least- we can’t point our fingers to anybody else-that would be nonsensical- it is simply a consequence of a choice we’ve made.

Lovely Day

Hmmm….
coffee cup almost empty.
Life’s a blur these days.

What to do in a sunny Monday?
The sun’s warmth is so seductive.
Makes me wanna sing.

Too bad-
my guitar’s broken.

Got to see my dentist later.
and find some lavender roses after.

*Is this a poem?
You tell me,

Always great to be awaken by

the chirping birds-
to open the window and
to be immediately greeted with such
magnificent view…
lovely.
