THE KIWI WHO SOARED THE SKIES...

            "There was an old, rich man living in an island, who decided to give his three sons a test to know who would inherit all of his riches. The test was to fill his very large, empty lot. The sons can wish for anything from their father for as long as they fill the said lot.

            The first son asked for a million. His father gave him the said amount without further ado. He cut all the trees present in their island and had put it in the lot. It didn't even fill 1/8 of the lot.

            The second son asked for 2 million and thus his father granted it. He hired all their men in the island and had told them to catch all the fishes they can catch. When they returned to fill the lot, it didn't even reached ¼ of it.

            The third on the other hand asked for Php. 10.00. The father was shocked at the amount his son asked but gave it to him nonetheless. The third went to a store and bumped into a mendicant and he decided to give him Php. 5.00. When he returned on their home, he asked his father and two elder brothers to join him in the lot. When they arrived at the lot, he pulled out a box of match in his pocket and handed a stick to each of them. He told them to light each of their sticks and thus, light filled the darkness of the lot."

            Okay, I haven't posted for a while. Many things happened during that time. Btw, before I begin to share all the misfortunes that happened in my life, I would like you to know that I got the story above from Atty. Antonio Oposa who was the guest speaker in the public lecture we were required to attend instead of our Kasaysayan 2 class.  

The first misfortune was that I failed the 2^nd and 3^rd long tests and my Midterm exam in Math 17. Life is just too ironic for me. I love math and everyone including myself believed it was my forte... but I keep on FAILING it for an unknown reason! Argh!

            Second, Ex-President Corazon Aquino has already joined her husband in his grave. We all felt the loss for she was the one who truly gave us democracy. I offer my condolences to the family she left like the rest of the world.

            Next, Brother Eraño G. Manalo has already been given by God his deserved rest. He truly lived a fruitful life, led every Iglesia Ni Cristo in the whole world into righteousness and gave hope to every one of us. Every one of us laments right now but we know that life must go on. We will never forget you, Brother Erdie.

            Aside from that, she's currently giving me a cold treatment for a reason I know not. I don't want to give her up (Yeah, I know I'm a martyr.) but it seems she wants me to. Guess I need a bit of rest from this tiresome longing for her comeback. (Don't get me wrong there; I still have no will to give her up. I love her this much.)

            Additional to the misfortunes that are currently happening in my life, I didn't get so lucky in my class in English 1. I usually am. Mr. A.G. doesn't usually have a class or doesn't call me whenever I'm not prepared for his class. However, last Thursday, he sent out two of my classmates because they haven't prepared three critical questions he required us to have for the specimen text he assigned us to read. (Just like me.) You know what happened next? I got called! GOD! My brain crammed to make a question and it was very annoying in my part because I have something I wanted to ask though I didn't succeed in putting it in a coherent sentence at that time. Good thing he seemed to think that I just can't make it in a coherent sentence and he decided to call someone else instead. I wasn't sent out. I was still lucky, but starting to get unlucky.
