Me? I'm just, well, ME.
And, if you want to know me, PRY deeper.
I am not perfect. But, no one's perfect, after all.
And that's the beauty in humanity, that there's no perfection.
If there ever is perfection, then life would be dull.
I am fat. I am not handsome. But then, I'm human.
And not all humans are gifted with physical beauty.
But there is, in all humans, a potential to be beautiful spiritually.
And that's what I strive to be.
I am lazy, and I am not THAT studious.
But I am conscious of my grades. That, I would admit.
Yeah, I know it's a turn-off, but then, at least I know I am.
Not like other people out there.
I am a clumsy guy.
I'm not organized.
I'm not tidy.
But I'm working on it.
I believe in GOD, but I am not very religious.
I believe that it is our freedom to choose our beliefs and
that it is not for us to impose our own beliefs on others.
I do not want to be a bigot.
I understand that not all things would go my way.
And that I cannot please each and every person.
Knowledge may be well and good, but too much of it is not.
I am a lover of words, and through words, I can express myself.
I am a lover of talking, though I am not the best speaker out there.
I am one who has simple joys in life.
Texting. Surfing the net, eating...
Things like that.
It is not my desire to be talked about.
Much less, to be talked about in a degrading manner.
But then, when I think about it,
Don't we all talk about our fellow men and women?
I once loved to write.
I want to love writing again.
I have never been in love, but then I believe that love is the
most powerful emotion in the world.
I am a listener when it comes to love. I listen to the stories
of those people who have experienced love first-hand.
Only time, and God, can tell when I'd cease to be a listener,
and become a lover.
But love is not limited to that kind of love alone.
Of course, I love my family.
To them I owe my foundation.
And, I love my friends.
To them I owe part of who I am.
Above all, I love GOD.
To Him I owe my family and my friends.
To Him I owe everything.
There would always be someone greater than myself.
That I believe.
And I do believe that LIFE is made for living.
SO, NEVER attempt to throw it away.
My son's description of himself at Friendster. I felt touched. I feel proud to have a son like him. :-)
Wow! I like how he described himself...although beauty is subjective, and I think your son is handsome. And smart, if he's that expressive.
ReplyDeleteAnd you should be proud Bingskee. That was beautiful!
ReplyDeletebing, your son should be a blogger too.
ReplyDeletethank you, shoshana. he is very expressive. has a way with words, too. :-)
ReplyDeletethanks for appreciating, toe. :-)
he was once a blogger, lazarus. had a blog titled My Mind As It Is. you can go there by clicking his name on the icings on the cake page. he stopped and had not updated it for long.
Your son writes so beautifully. He should keep writing.

magiging higit pa siya kay daryl, nalen. gabayan mo lang. :-) a child needs his/her parent or his/her guardian always.
Hi Bingskee. You should send that to PDI's Youngblood. It may not warrant as an "article" but it is a nice insight on a different kind of Pinoy youth we have today. It might get published, who knows? :)
ReplyDeleteHis choice of words are very beautiful, thought-provoking and quite mature.
hi, mayo. :-) thank you very much. i'll tell him about what you said. will also tell him about PDI's youngblood.
