At the Parade

It's a very long walk joining the Gregorio Del Pilar Baile La Calle
It's sad we were not allowed our students to participate in the street dancing ( which we usually do every year, even bringing home an award to make the school
proud).

It's amazing nobody in my staff got aching feet.

I took some pictures which can be seen in our school's friendster account. The Baile La Calle is the most enjoyable and awaited event in our town because of the informality and the challenge to dance in the street bringing out the creativity in every participant.

In my years of teaching Makabayan, I admired this hero Gregorio Del Pilar because of his loyalty to his profession. This hero who became the shield of Emilio Aguinaldo, the hero I do not like because of his envious ambition that caused the death of Andres (Andres Bonifacio) and Goyo (Gregorio del Pilar). And I appreciate our town for recognizing Goyo as hero of the present youth and have this annual Baile La Calle in his name.


I happened to see some of my coleagues in this parade. All have different reasons for joining in.
1. get a tan
2. get exercise to slim down.
3. it's a higher up order.
4. to enjoy.
5. to dance
6. to promote & advertise
7. no reason at all.

Doors

The doors that I thought are open are not yet open after all. They're still images. Images of doors.

Shall I open them? Or do I need to beg God to open them for me? Or shall I wait, do nothing, just allowing the time to ripen and open those doors for me?

Those are the questions hanging in my mind.

Doors are opportunities. Doors are chances to a lot of new horizons.

Sometimes, I can't help ask my Creator but later on say sorry for asking questions.
But I can't help it. It's tough nowadays.

I rode the bus and the jeepney "unendlessly" today. Met a friend and then ride again.
I can't help thinking, what must I do?
What scares me?
To make a mistake.
It's but a normal thing to commit a mistake.
A failure might lead to success.
What really scares me?
What shakes my knees?
Because I will do them alone.
Take the chance. Maybe it will work.
No fallback?
It's a whirlwind!

An invitation came: Free bus ride from Manila to Cagayan! What a nice invitation for someone who's not yet done thinking.

I just came back from the South. The rain and the traffic was so heavy on the way here. I was surprised by ...bills!

But am at peace. As usual, I did my ways to make ends meet... to keep us going.

I found:

1. my old friends. they're still my friends!
2. new friends
3. new opportunities
4. open heaven for me
