Guilty or not?

What could have been if Angelo Reyes "Angie" is still alive?

Is suicidal the only solution for the controversy he had faced? We heard left and right documentaries about his life and how he lived as a family man and how he succeeded to be the Chief. Since everyday we have fresh news most of the important issues in our beloved country has left behind.

Some says that Angie's act was wise. In this matter his case was closed without jeopardizing his family's dignity that they kept for long.

So near yet so far

A day away. Dawn before valentine's day. I felt weird because that was the first time I didn't feel my breakdance boy play around my womb. I already prayed my heart out to the Lord. I fell fast asleep on that night, I felt that somebody sung a lullabye on my ear softly and I felt someone soothe tapped my bottom for me to have that deep sleep. When I woke up 2pm on the 13th of february which was my second to the eldest nephew's birthday. Just like my ordinary day. I ate, swam before my eyes on my lappy and one thing is not right I told myself because since I slept, I haven't felt my baby moved yet. And it is the first time I experienced it. I'm still praying from my heart of hearts. As soon as I stepped on my 2nd semester of my pregnancy he never failed to kick and roll around my tummy. That's why it bothers me at that moment why is he not making any movement. I surfed the net and I learned that some babies mostly if it's the mother's due date they usually gather energy for the big day so they just hibernate. I texted his father to come along right after office. And so did he. After dinner we went to OB's clinic to know if I could be admitted that time and the rest is history. It was around 10pm then. We also got second opinion on a midwife at emergency Taytay. On valetine's eve we rushed at the hospital then since it's already my due date. I saw my previous room mate when I was in high school and so happenned to be one of the doctors that would be there on the process of the operation. I felt relieved that someone I know would be there for me in the OR since my big baby is not allowed inside. I also asked her hints and she just said we'll see after your ceasarian section operation. So I patiently waited. At 2am they put me to OR and do their job. Te Ross my former room mate showed Wan and I barely saw him since I was high because of the anesthesia and injectable sleeping drug. She just said 3 rounds of umbilical cord wrapped his neck and he already pooped inside my womb. The only thing I remember I said was please revive him. Everytime I woke up a number of times from sleep and I heard a baby crying. I will ask the attending nurse 'Is that my little one?' and she would just say "mommy wag ka magsalita makakasama sayo". Next thing I know I was already at the surgical ward and my family was there and I asked them where's Wan. They just said he's already an angel. Yeah you got it right. All I could do is cry my heart out and asked myself again 'why'. And I heard the same reason once more. It is God's will. Just a day away, me and my big baby suppose to see our Wan and only. So near yet so far.

Second Chance

During the ancient times heinous punishment is rampant to avoid crimes. Crucifixion, stone to death, garrote, castration, thrown to a lion's pit, beheaded with a sword or decapitation and execution by a firing squad are some sort of ancient punishment. The word capital means head. So whenever you hear capital punishment it will always something to do with the head. Nowadays, we call it death penalty because government don't use criminal's head to punish them, instead they come up to a lot of ideas like gas chamber, electrocution by a chair , and lethal injection. Here in the Philippines, death penalty is not stationary for the president.

Jose Rizal was executed by a firing squad, alot of people were decapitated, some were thrown to lion's pit, adulterers were castrated, GOMBURZA were garroted, Stephen from the Bible was stoned to death, and Jesus Christ was crucified that leads to his death and after three days He rose up and saves. If you will observe most of the people mentioned above were innocent most especially Lord Jesus. They died because of wrong accusation. Though Mary Magdalene is really a sinner Jesus didn't allow people to stone her to death instead He wrote on the ground people's transgression so that it will serve as a reminder that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and no one can come to the Father except Jesus. One by one they dropped the stone on their hands. And the rest is history.

Why do we put criminals to death to show that what they did was wrong? If it is, killing those people on a death row is not a crime then? On my perspective, it would not make us lesser evil if we do that because sin will always be a sin regardless of how big or small it is. Like lies, there's no such thing as white lies, it is still a lie. God is a god of second chances, if you follow your father, then why don't we follow our Father in heaven who is in your heart.

crowning glory

Hair is our crowning glory. We wear different do. Before only women have long hair but now no matter what your gender is you can wear long black hair. I know people have fetish on hair. Some wants it short, some wants it long, and some wants it bald. We Filipinos have the so-called HIV to term those men which hair is vanishing. Some people pre judge people by their hair cut, most especially when it is not normal in the eyes of common people. It could also be a channel of our emotions, some would cut their hair after break ups. Some would have it straight, curled, waved, dyed, keep it long till they can, depending on what they want; or they might be hiding their identities. Before companies and schools are strict with hair dos. There's also a religion that women should keep their hair long. Confidence is the key to wear your hair flamboyantly.

If you feel good in the inside it will come out naturally regardless of what your hair looks like.
