a city in metamorphosis

i bet very few people are aware that to "shanghai" someone is to take that person against his will into compulsory service. Well in a way the city of Shanghai in China is kind of like a city that is infusing economic prosperity and modernity into its veins and yet the place's will to preserve its faithfulness to their traditional roots continue to coagulate the domination of the red blood cells of modernization eventhough much of the city has become very Westernized...

There are many beautiful places in the most Westernized city of China so they say and yet there continues to be some areas that need improvement here...not that I'm saying that the Philippines is extremely perfect hahaha!!! For example some of the facilities of their restaurants and establishments are still a bit crude and perhaps maybe trespass many sanitary fences. For a modern city there is a pervading atmosphere to simply let things be as they are, even if it means risk of mediocrity or lack of sophistication...

Many young people in this city can speak very decent English, and most if not all stores have Western brands on their shelves now and yet probably close to a dozen to one is the ratio of poor-English speakers to those who can use the universal tongue. The Western brand products on a closer examination will bear frustratingly indecipherable hieroglyphic-esque Chinese letters which to my frustration do not indicate whether they are hypo-allergenic or 20% non-fat or 30%more calcium LOL. Again this is also a subtle sign of the pervading resistance to the adaptation of a new language (well in my view at least of which I may be wrong as some Chinese people may be simply lacking motivation to study English or the resources to go to good schools) ...

If there is a biologically symbolic description I can make of the city of Shanghai it is that of a caterpillar surging slowly with a wing, and an antennae half out of its cocoon and yet the remaining body parts left in the shapeless sac of its traditional existence. Some of its organs have embraced the total transformation afforded it by the economic processes governing the financial world these days. But not all of its physical systems have accepted the forces of change though . The rather weird reality may be that these remaining appendages and parts choose and want to remain in the fetal safety of their silk envelope instead of desiring to transfigure to complete the whole metamorphosis.

(Pictures to follow in the next entry.... Love you guys!!!! )

cavernous instances....

Sometimes i sink into an abyss of unhappy memories...sometimes all of them flooding me yet other times a particularly negative stimulus would hit me once....but no matter what the count, they seem to always engulf me with the pain I knew I felt during those circumstances...I do not know when these moments strike but they come and go as they like and they leave me feeling weak and listless....

Two classmates I had when i was entering secondary school are part of the darkness of the abyss I tried to describe earlier...

I will never forget their names and I even meet them occasionally when I am out with friends or out of town. But what they did punctured my soul so badly that I could never probably forgive them. There could never be a more classic circumstance of BULLYING than the scenario I played out with these two characters. I never understood why they would always try to make fun of me and then when i retorted with my smartass remarks they would become very offensive with me. I could not even count the times they became too physical with me. The experience could last from a few minutes a day to a whole day of agony for me. It had even come to a point where I wanted to change school and I had told my Mom about my desire to do so but she kept insisting that I should deal with them as humanely as possible and they will most likely stop doing what they were doing. I felt trapped during those years.

There would be moments of pure bliss when they would just leave me alone or one of them would be absent but those were rare occurrences. They were often there to torment me...They made me feel so unworthy, unattractive and unwanted. I knew I was smarter than most then but they almost often had a way of making me feel down during the rest of my day.

Many years have passed since I last met these people but the wounds they have inflicted are deep and indelible. I was never the same person because of both of them. Well you can always see the glamorous facade but you will never know the girl who was the unfortunate victime of bullying in her earlier years....Almost anything I do socially manifests the frightened young girl who felt vulnerable to their attacks...

I wanted to consider doing therapy for this but decided against it. I would not know what to say or do and I always wanted to tell myself that those were childhood wrongdoings and they probably did not mean it during that time but I knew more than that. I know that I would never be able to get over these negative thoughts if I did not voice them out to someone who I could scream, rave, shout, and cry with. This person has to understand that immersing myself emotionally in the debilitating experience of reliving those memories and dealing with them through therapy and counselling is the only course to saving the frightened girl and throwing a sparkle of light into the abyss which beckons during those unexpected moments....

repeat after me...

i shall sing the praises of the winklergirl....till the day I die....

a drink for two....

Once upon a time, in the not-so-distant past....two kids who were siblings, would enter a fastfood joint that was famous in their school once or twice a month. They would go there on a Friday afternoon on each occasion when there would be no classes the next day. No, it wasn't the gigantic food chain with a bee for a mascot in the Philippines but nevertheless, this place was pretty packed on Fridays. Most of the customers were kids from their school. The two would order one small-sized orange shake and sit on a table facing each other and would take turns sipping the whole drink until it lasted. Although they wanted to order the giant burger on the menu on the counter or the red-hot delicious spaghetti or the crispy-looking chicken or even a bigger orange shake or a mango shake for a change, they couldn't. Why? Because they could not afford it. They both had to save what little they could from their allowance in one week before they could buy that one orange shake hehehe....

This story is etched on my mind because i was one-half of that partnership hehehe....

It is sad! Hehe but it was the cards me and my sister were dealt with. The family was not too stable financially yet. The mother and dad were a young couple and they were just starting to establish their family...

So me and my sister worked our way around it. We did not spend too much, we never wasted money. We saved when we could and every Christmas we broke open our piggy bank which was not really a pig in our case LOL but just a used container for rubbing alcohol where we placed our coins inside until we could count them at the end of the year hehe...

I would never understand but it seemed to me that I was happy and never complained about a lot of things during that time. I guess when there isn't too much abundance in one aspect of one's life there tends to be an unrecognized appreciation of what is really important...I never could pinpoint what made me so at ease even with the tight financial situation but it must have been the companionship my sister offered and the simplicity of life too. We both made everything so easy for both of us.

When me thoughts go back to these particular events in my life, it makes me very appreciative of what I have today. Learning to cherish each and every little trinket I purchase has become innate in me. Giving a lot of thought as to whether I need that article has become second-nature. People might sometimes mistake me for being a female Ebenezer Scrooge but they would never understand that I give a lot of thought before I ever buy something or before I ever treat someone. When you've only just started being able to enjoy the money you earn, old habits die hard. But I will never discard those old habits because somehow in many circumstances they have turned out to have more positive than negative effects. I guess the short yet remarkable story I wrote above gives me direction in my business transactions and has even probably helped me make positive decisions.

God bless that tiny orange shake and my sister!!! :)

Hi!

I am your doctor-prescribed, medically-miraculous, over-the-counter, FDA-approved and Cash-on-Delivery babysitter....

May I come in?????

rediscovering the child....(myspace entry)

One of the best things about life is realizations can come to you in an instant...in a flash of a second...so quick and fast! You never expect something like that to happen but then it does and then after the moment, you start to contemplate about the moment...lessons learned, the past, what can be done to give significance to the moment...

Christmas Eve and I was late for the family dinner with uncles and aunts and cousins and nieces and nephews. I was eating all by myself at the dinner table and everyone was already enjoying themselves, talking and catching up on the latest news and updating themselves with the latest happenings in their lives and their current location and stuff like that...

I saw my favorite nephew and I asked him to approach me. I smothered him with kisses and on a very sudden impulse, asked him what he wanted as a Chrismas gift. He told me about a new wrist toy which he saw on one of his peers which made a bleeping sound when pressed. I had a feeling he was dying to have one of them and was green with envy at his pal. So I asked him to ask his mother how much the toy was. He said it was worth this and that and he already knew the price and need not ask his Mother. So i went back to my room to pick up some money and I had no idea he had followed me and was asking one of my house companions where I was. Haha...very precocious child...So i gave him some money and he asked my uncle, his grandfather to bring him to the store so he could buy the toy immediately! Haha see? I was right about him wanting so much to have that toy!

Then I thought, this is the probably best way to find your childhood again. To give back to the next generation what you received earlier in life. I mean as kids and even as adults we are all so preoccupied with what we can get out of something. What we can get out of a bond, out of a connection that we fail to see what we can give. As a kid I was always looking forward to these occasions because I would then be showered with gifts. It even came to a point where I wanted too much that I asked myself why I did not have that many godfathers or godmothers or uncles! It also came to a point where I thought it was obligatory for them to give me gifts on special occasions...Pathetic isn't it? But at that moment when I gave my young nephew a simple glimpse of momentary happiness, I was overwhelmed with emotions and I realized that feeling fulfilled does not only mean getting and winning it all but also making others feel happy at the thought that they received something from you. It is the very essence of sharing. To give back to others what you have received from other people....
