Cathedral of Space
The meaning of the title may not mean much and where I took it from, but just for informing people, it is a song by Wolfgang. Great band. Great lyricists.
Now, even though I may seem like a talkative person, I prefer to express my innermost thoughts by writing a letter or something, or through mediums such as blogs. It is through this medium that I learned (somewhat) my style of blogging that I am now able to apply to anything I write/blog/create.
At any rate, the main reason I wrote this was because of 2 things. First was, I saw a show last saturday night wherein they featured a soccer/football match between a team of kids from the infamous Smoky Mountain, against a group of kids from a distinguished boys school in Metro Manila. As I've said, they had a football match, and the kids from Smoky Mountain won. Afterwards, the camera overheard 2 kids talking, although I can only remember the 1st kid's words:
Kid 1: "Nakakahiya tayo, natalo tayo ng mga pulubi, eh mga wala namang pera yang mga yan. Mga patay-gutom."
Or something to that context.
Now, I know kids say the darndest things, and their word should only be taken in stride, but isn't it disturbing that these kids would say those words to their fellow kids? That these same kids are the future of this country? They are the most "swail" kids I ever heard of. These kids need to get out of their little world, around their PSPs or XBoxes or whatever it is kids today play. These damn kids don't know how good they have it, compared to those Smoky Mountain kids, whose future hinges solely on football. They play football not just to have fun, but to escape the situation that they're in. Hopefully, when these "rich" kids grow up, they would realize the gravity of what they said to those poor kids, and not just becoming wastes of space and oxygen in this planet.
Second. I know I said I think I express (andaming I) myself better in blogs. So, after realizing on the way home that what I said to a friend earlier this afternoon may have been a tad offensive, by calling her "swail na anak" or something to that extent, in the context of a joke, when I didn't really know the story, and all she was doing was helping out her folks through her hard-earned money, and she not really reacting much to what I said, for this lapse in judgment, I sincerely apologize to you, my friend, if I offended you in any way. I will try to filter my stupid mouth a lot more from now on. Even in jest. Sheesh, I am such a bad joker/joke-teller.
That's it for now. Signing off.
Peace.
