Before the advent of blogs, I have been keeping a journal since I was a youngster. I have not read it since because I kinda grew tired of reading them. But whenever I do, I just laugh at the fact that sometimes the wishes I make there suddenly comes true without me even realizing that I have wished for it in the first place.
Good thing though, I still have a spare notebook that I can use to write a daily journal. This time around I have reinvented my journal.
Instead of writing my day to day activities, and to avoid being redundant of saying the same old boring stuff over again, I have decided to use it as a tangible means of prayer.
I am not Christian, or have not been a Christian since 2004. That's approximately 6 years of not being affiliated with any religions and I know that prayer came from them. I am thinking of putting a name on it to guise that fact that it is a prayer book. The idea of it suddenly died because I will just be as hypocrite as them. Sorry for the strong words, but I am just being me. I am not even spared of being criticized anyway, so might as well fight back.
Currently, I am on the 2nd page already and one of them suddenly came true. Sweet!
Anyhow, this medium is a representation for me that even if I venture out of my comfort zone, I will still be taken care of by any sort.

The Catholic Church should mind their own god-damned businesses!
You know what, I am getting sick of the Church having to say about politics at all and making them public about it. This Supreme Court decision of allowing Ang Ladlad to join the roster of representative party-list is one they will not pass out! Out of nowhere, here they are with their mangled perception of what morality is, condemning the act of homosexuality an immoral act from god and it has to be banned yakkety yakkety!
Shut up, already!
I know that because a lot of Filipinos are Christians that gave them the power to have a say on a lot of issues being brought upon by, I don't know, radical idealists, social reformist and the likes, and actually influence people to stop the progress of the nation. Include the reproductive health bill in the scenario. They were against Reproductive Health bill because the bishops say that this tolerates the immoral act of copulating. What I am seeing actually is that they are hampering us indulging on the fact that we are humans. Take note on that. We are humans and part of our animal instincts is to have sex because we need to propagate our species (well, that responsibility has been given out to straight people). They are actually stopping us from being humans after all so that people will have the need for them.
Why can't they just stop their tracks right there and do as every other religion is doing? If it is for the progress of the nation, they why do they want to hamper it? Their perception of morality has already been redefined several times already. Your church is becoming old-fashioned. It's just stupid, I tell you, treating us as if we are children and they are the divine. I can name a lot of clergymen who is not as divine as you think they are based on your set guidelines. I can even name them as being homosexuals, mind you.
People are already feeling the need to change. A lot of the people I have talked to narrates on how they are still Christians but don't go to church regularly. I often tell them that you have no choice but to follow whatever your church is saying, one being going to church every Sunday. You don't have a say about it. That's why you are there, in the first place, proclaiming your faith in it. You don't generalize your own belief system out of what your church is proclaiming because you, if we are still in the 18th century, would have been charged with heresy and probably be burned to death! You are turning into pagans right before your mentors eyes. There are no excuses. If your church says that being a homosexual is an immoral act, then you ARE immoral. No questions about it. But what can you do? I see a lot of openly gay people serving the church, going to church as if they are not being castigated. I don't get it, honestly. The irony of it!
I don't blame everyone for turning another eye off their church. Because as far as I know, they know too well that if they follow the dogmas and teachings their church gives out to them, they'd be DEAD right now!

Oopps!
While I was drooling over the new IPad that was released some time ago (and mind you I am not an Apple User myself), I suddenly realized that I think I owe someone an explanation.
Really now, it is nothing that I should be bothered about. This is just something I would like to get off my chest for the longest run. It's becoming a bit of a bother now and I just want to have this person share that common responsibility of helping me with the burden. Or maybe not.
You see, while I was in a relationship, there was this guy in our circle of friends who I was very keen of. He was my absolute type. Straight to the point, intelligent and ambitious. Practical, sound and fun to be with. At some point, I knew I liked the guy a lot.
When my partner went overseas for a month or a few weeks I guess, this friend that we're talking about made some efforts to be comfortable with me. I thought this was just some of, you know, things friends do. We'd hang out at some place. Had dinner here and dinner there. I didn't bother getting all shook up about it. Besides, he was my partner's best friend! Everything suddenly changed until that time that he popped an interesting statement. He said that he liked me ever since we met. This came to a shock to me because he was my ultimate crush and I would love to ditch my partner then and be with him.
He went to his province leaving me behind to ponder on things that has happened between us. I know that I like the guy to death, but imagine the scandal it will make if my partner comes home from overseas just to find that I was with someone else! That's stupid and simply irrational that no one in their right minds will do. There is no question about it. There is nothing to ponder about, basically.
So as he called me in the bleak of day, he asked me if I liked him too. I said a big fat 'no.' And he said, that's okay. And then he moved on.
It's sad, you know, that if only people could wait a little longer, then they would have the person they have ever wanted. I was willing to wait until such time that we can be together, but I only said that to him because I don't want him pursuing me for the meantime. I know him too well. If I said I liked him, then he will not rest until he gets me. This is not how you play the game.
At one point, I am kinda thinking that I may be underestimating the intelligence of this friend. But it's really not my fault. He has underestimated me.

Another Day in the Shower.
What do we do in the shower makes us sometimes uncomfortable to even talk about. But not me! Well, you guys have no idea who the heck I am so here goes.
-- Before taking a bath, I often lie down on my back on my bed and stretch excessively almost profanely.
-- I take out any towel that my hands can grasp on. Normally, they would be in my chair. My thinking chair. I know when I'm thinking, I work up a sweat!
-- The towel will be placed on my shoulders.
-- Before I even go down to where the bathroom is, I would normally smoke a stick of cigarette first, or check my Facebook, or just do something wholesome with the computer.
-- When I am good to go, I go directly to my bathroom. No more pitstops for a drink or something.
-- I will normally place my towel on my towel rack and remove my clothes. T-shirt first, the shorts and undergarments together.
-- Back home, I don't have a shower so I would turn on the faucet to fill a bucket with a dipper in it. By the time I have done this, I am DEFINITELY looking myself in the mirror. Checking all the crevices on the teeth, any pimples, any irregularities in my face, in my hair and so and so. I will smile excessively just to check for any new wrinkles that comes smiling back at me.
-- If I need to sit on the throne, I have to read something. Anything.
-- SPLASH DIRECTION: It always starts on my feet. After 2 splashes, then my head... and I guess the rest will follow.
-- SOAPING: Unlike most leftist, I use lather my body first then my hair. I don't do it the other way around. Now that we're through with it, the first part of my body I lather is my belly and from there I work up to my chest and to my arms. When the soap reaches my hands, I'd lather it up real good and clean my neck, my ears and my face. (Although I'm thinking of changing to facial soap. My face is becoming terrible sensitive to it nowadays.) From the face, I work back to my belly, to my junk, my legs until I get to my foot. I have amazing balance.
--- I don't shampoo very long though. I guess, I just do it for like 5 seconds or so. Then I rinse it off.
---After the hullaballo, what follows next would be putting my contact lenses in (if called for), then brushing my teeth, then shave (if needed).
-- Oh yeah, while bathing, I sing. Any song.

So my Love Month has passed!
According to some stupid horoscope I was desperately reading during last month, it said that the previous month was the perfect opportunity for romance.
I wasn't even that close.
Oh well, moving on to another prospect, I guess. Why am I so desperate to be in a relationship after all? When it comes, it will. What the heck am I saying? Too much Sailormoon may be corroding my brain!
