MiXeD EmOtIoNs…
I could hardly identify what I’m feeling right now.
I am
…excited
…stressed
…angry
…fed up
…frustrated
…anxious
…longing
…overwhelmed
…etc., etc…
For now, all I want is simply silence.
Perhaps, I just miss SOMEONE…
So terribly!
A couple of days ago, someone conducted a random survey in school. The topic: SUPERHERO!
Among the questions included were the following:
- Who’s your favorite superhero?
- Who can be a real superhero in our history?
- Who’s your superhero (person in your life you admire most)?
Of course, at the end of each question, we were asked to justify and so we had to answer the BIG WHY??? by identifying a quality we admire most in these “superheroes.”
Now, should I reveal my answers?
For the first one, my favorite superhero is Superman. Well, it’s pretty obvious – it’s the latest superhero film I’ve watched. Without a doubt and so as to make it easy for me, I wrote it down immediately. If asked why, I admire his great concern for humanity. How I wished I had that kind of body too, hehehe! J
The second item got me thinking… Ian, my seatmate, answered Cory Aquino! Wow, I truly agree with him. While it was a simple question, it really made me reflect. Who do I consider a real superhero these days? Somehow, my attention was diverted to this topic and suddenly, I could hardly understand the lesson being discussed by my professor! Tsk, tsk, tsk… bad student! J What caught my attention was the fact that I had to be clear what a real superhero is. Is he/she someone with super powers and perhaps, even good looks? Is he/she someone out there who just comes to the scene when needed? Wait, what about the unrecognized people doing extraordinary things?
I had to settle for OFWs as an answer to the second question, though I had much more in mind. Well, I thought of the sacrifices and the difficult decisions they had to make – the act of leaving behind their families alone breaks so many hearts. What else? Look at the household helps around for example – the yayas, maids, drivers, etc., and those who, in one way or the other, are dying to themselves so as to make others’ lives comfortable. For sure, they are among the many people who are seldom given a face in the society and we know pretty well how hard they are working just to earn a decent living for their families. Oops, I also thought of mothers (and fathers) for this part. There are just a lot of unrecognized people around and I could barely name all of them. Yet they bring meaning to life!
Oh, I loved the last question. My answer? Well, it seemed it was just asking for ONE PERSON and if my interpretation was right, I had to be honest and simply name one person… Aside from God, that person is, of course, my DAD (of course, my MOM too for she’s integrated with him). Why? For their great concern for me and for our family… For their great love for me, for us… For everything…
Truly, they are my superheroes… And I love them so much!
So now, who’s (or who are) your superhero/es?
At last, i have a friendster account!!!
I really don’t know what we were talking about some hours ago while eating pizza. But when the blog-thing was raised, i suddenly felt excited to create my own.
So now, i have a friendster account…
I have just exposed myself to the public…
Welcome to my world!
