i'm here. the happiest place in the earth. where smiles areas free as the air and troubles as clouded as mist. well, still feeling uneasy. why? i'm supposed to be relaxed and having fun. then why?

started working. i LIKE my colleagues! kuya ron, ate daisy and ate jam. dun forget chief. mwahaha! this post serves as a banner of my respect for them. really fun! they're forgiving and patient and fun. i know there's little chance they can read this bacaues of inadequacies but still, to their honour! however, work is so tiring! argh! had to stand for eight hours. and damn boring too! gosh, my cousin told me that working at the store was going to be a stampede but not likely! it's so boring. maybe i'm just starting to learn and they won't let me handle the heavy stuff. but i'm getting the hang of it. yesterday, time seemed to crawl. today, it walked. hopefully tomorrow will be blessed. it's my first work ever in my life. i mean officially. well not really but this is the closest.

i'm currently reading the book the alchemist by paulo coelho. i've attempted to read other books like lemony snicket's a series of unfortunate events [ya i know it's childish, but i like] and judith mcnaught's someone to watch over me. well the last two were too morbid so i had to stop. i like the alchemist because it's a rich book filled with wisdom. i think it's a bit philosophical. it's an encouraging book. goals, dreams and passion in life or shall we say, personal legend. very good book. but of course. a the title itself projects an anti-christian theme. that's what blind church leaders will say. though the main character, a boy named santiago is a christian or catholic. and also, the message of the book says that we should strive for what we want and the universe, including God, is arranged in a way so as to enable us to achieve our dreams. so obviously the church will condemn this as they will say that people should dream god's will not our will. i don't really care what the church says though.

before i was flying off, my cell leader came to send me off. she saw my judith mcnaught book and asked me to throw it away. in my opinion, what the church is doing right now is trying to isolate themselves from sins. however, what they should do is try to insulate themselves instead of to isolate. jesus walked with the lame and ate with sinners. then why are we trying to push these 'sinful' elements away? the world is immersed in sin and we can't escape that by isolating ourselves. we should insulate ourselves. for example, the fish. the fish lives in sea water, it is saline. yet how come when we eat the fish, it is not salty? in fact it is tasteless. we need to sprinkle some salt before eating or cooking! this is because the fish is insulated from sea water. that way it keeps itself pure. i the same way should we keep ourselves holy. not by condemning but by understanding. after we understand then can we preach. not judge or correct.
