Ugly

There comes a point in our lives when no matter how confident we are of our well-being we suddenly find ourselves feeling worthless, unimportant or simply... ugly. And no matter how hard we try to pick ourselves up there are people who seem to pull us down for them to feel better about themselves. Well, let this song remind you that you're very special and that you don't have to be bothered.. because people are all the same :)




Ugly
by Sugababes

When I was 7
They said I was strange
I noticed that my eyes and hair weren't the same
I asked my parents if I was OK
They said you're more beautiful
And that's the way they show that they wish
They had your smile
So my confidence was up for a while
I got real comfortable with my own style
I knew that they were only jealous 'cause

*People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you


There was a time when I felt like I cared
That I was shorter than everyone there
People made me feel like life was unfair
And I did things that made me ashamed
Cos I didn't know my body would change
I grew taller than them in more ways
But there will always be the one who will say
Something bad to make them feel great

**

Everybody talks bad about somebody
And never realizes how it affects somebody
And you bet it won't be forgotten
Envy is the only thing it could be

What Could Have Happened to the Little Prince? -- a great story written by a friend. It's actually his own sequel to the Little Prince's story.

There are times when we are given the opportunity to relish wonderful moments, whether these be trying or joyful times, with other people. We sometimes wish that we can freeze that very exact moment and keep it in the depths of our marrows just to keep us alive. But life doesn't work that way... we are only given seasons, fleeting moments that we have to enjoy as they come our way, for a day may come when a certain season will end... and memories are only what we are left with. But never fear the vicissitude, for spring is coming with a lovelier sunshine.

The Price of Prizes


It was late night last friday when we passed along ULTRA in Ortigas. We were quite curious of the reason behind the flocking of a huge crowd. I thought it was one of those Pacquiao celebrations, or perhaps EDSA 4 since most of the people were of class C. I was shocked when I found out the next day that there was a stampede - the ULTRA Stampede.

The fact wouldn't sink in. I tried to recall the hopeful faces of those people the other night, they looked ecstatic for the coming event. Wowowee's (a noontime game/variety show) first year anniversary celebration was supposed to be a jolly event, but it turned out to be a creepy drama. At least 70 people died and hundreds were injured.

I've seen an interview where a sociologist explained that if not for the people's selfishness, none of it could have happened. She said that not only poor people were present in the said gathering, well-to-do individuals were also there. Imagine those people stepping or running over the corpses around them, not to escape from the tragic scene, but to continue haggling for tickets! Isn't that crazy?! Reminds me of zombies in Resident Evil :( . These people were desperate, they lined up for days, hungry and tired, persisting just to get that 'chance' to bring home the bacon.

I was teary-eyed when I saw a tribute video clip, I can't help but pity those kids and elderly victims. I remember my grandma when she took her last breath upon seeing some footages of people fighting for their lives in the hospitals. I watched a guy cry his apologies out saying that he shouldn't have gone there and wrangled for the chance to win if it was his mother's life, which is priceless, that he had to lose in return. I was deeply touched when I saw a macho guy cry for his four year old who passed away.

I don't think there's sense in pointing fingers at anyone. Technically speaking, it's the policemen's job to investigate who's at fault. Looking at it in a macro perspective, like what my fiddle teacher and a couple of friends said, it's clear to see that the system is a crap. I believe all of us have our share of fault, and each of us has his own role to play. Quoting my comment:

" ... Think about it, an uneducated worker tries to feed his family of five with 200 bucks a day which is only a portion of a socialite’s lunch spending. Its a fact - the system sucks, but we cannot just stand there and let the system eat us alive. We have to start with something. As the passage goes, “for unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” Luke 12:48. But this doesn’t mean that the rich should feed the poor all their lives ... “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Those who are being helped should also play their part by helping themselves ... bayanihan is the perfect term for it. It’s not a perfect world, I know, but with love, respect and faith it can be better... "

Like Pacquiao's triumph, let's take Wowowee's loss an opportunity for us to unite. I was glad to know that Eat Bulaga, the contending program, extended its sympathy instead of taking the issue against Wowowee. Maybe most of us are so jaded by these happennings but our past failures should never stop us from dreaming of a better world. Each of us can help by doing our part, and by keeping the faith. Let's continue praying for the souls of those who passed away and for the hearts of those they left behind.
