Kids This Day & The Internet --& The Freedom Their Parents Know Nothing About

Let me put it so simply. Simply Because.



I wonder why "kids" today would use the internet for stupid purposes. And by "kids" I meant those whose age range from 12 up to the age they aren't so responsible enough with their lives... and the internet.

Until this moment my patience still lingers to an account of some kid's account. And it's gonna burst any time this moment. It says there in her blog. ( I'm really making this very vague to prevent any assumptions of whom I'm throwing the stone to and eventually make ahater-post of me... Really. ) So here's the statement that has gotten on my nerve:

i own my life and you own yours so dont **** with mine !

Why? Why?? 

Why is she in the social-networking site?? And why the use of such word?? Does that make it any more cooler?? Do you get reputation through cussing? If that so, well, people in the hierarchy must use it. But thank God it isn't. How much worse can happen to the humanity?

"Kids" this day. They are fighting for "freedom" they call it. But what exactly that "freedom" is? Could they define? Is it a tattoo on the back? A pierce on the navel? A boyfriend/girlfriend in one's room? 

If that's freedom then let there be a petition for all kids who wants "freedom" to go to juvy. Not one can be granted a bail. ( No, actually this is out of anger. You could just forget this one though. )

Sex. Drugs. The F word. The B word ( that you wanna call yourself & that of which is written on your shirt ) Depression. ( YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YOU DO NOT KNOW DEPRESSION. ) Suicide. ( Then why are you still here??? Want me to help you??? ) Posting something from the conversation that you and your mom had. 

You think you know it all. Parents, they "misunderstood" you. Parents and their agedknowledge, they know no better. 

If they don't know better, why don't you show everything to them then?

If that "freedom" you fight for will make you even better then why do you still cry for something? Why is your heart still aching from a break-up? And why are you still breaking-up? I thought that person's your life? 

If everything's okay then why do you have to hide? Why do you plea for the legalization of Marijuana and then can't use it in public? And if you can, then why do you run from authority? 

You say it makes no harm to your studies. But until when? 

Until when is birth-control effective? Until when is your partner be with you? Until when he'll not be attracted to another? He's found you after the other before, anyway. He is committed, but until when would he keep the relationship? Until when do your parents will not know what youdo?

There are so many hidden things. And until you get that freedom, there'll be more of those hidden things. It will pull you down. It's gonna be a cold, thick chains wrapped around your neck, your wrist, your ankle... It's gonna imprison you. And in prison, yes, there is more of you and what you would be needing, but deprived of what you be wanting. There is no life in prison. Only existence. 


22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins;

      they are ropes that catch and hold him.
 23 He will die for lack of self-control;
      he will be lost because of his great foolishness.

Proverbs 5:22-23

"I Can't Believe It's Over." A Break-Up Story

Image
It was on a Monday night shift that my co-worker and I was left cleaning the whole line (if you've been to the place where I work, the line I was talking about is the one on the inner side of the sneeze guard). We are about to brush the floor clean and to remove the dirt of the most busy place of the store we needed an extra-strong chemical to do the magic. And when I say extra-strong I mean skin-burning extra-strong type of chemical. That is, Diversey's Suma Break-Up. (I should get paid for this advertisement) (There, so you'd imagine my description better.) Cutting to the chase, Wayne (the pretty co-worker in the story) and I are moving chillers and all those stuff around and started cleaning. Until she said, "Ah.. By portion natin ipu- push brush ?" The #hugot lines started. "Yup. Kasi ang break-up dapat dinadahan-dahan, dahil kapag hindi, masakit, madali tayong mapapagod," I answered. And so it goes. The incident is not really the ma

Steve Jobs & Me

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.   - Steve Jobs , CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005 FRIDAY IT'S JUST MY EMOTION feeling bad about everything. But I have the conviction that Someone loves me and suffered for me, and has taken every awful things one could experience just so I could have a choice not having them now. The conviction that makes me confident of everything that I have and getting those that I do not have... yet. THURSDAY I have all the intention and I fall short with my action. Unless I make Christ as my life's (and the desires, plans and ambitions that go with it) Chief Cornerstone. It has been a fulfillment having se

The Story of the Nativity and The Relativity

It was two months before I graduate from high school when I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.  College applications, entrance examinations, trendy clothes, hair colors, lovers and friends, and teenage angst were the things this college novice have in mind. Together with the incredulous plans I have in my life. As if those things seem to be easy putting into its rightful place. Things I have for my  self  in which probably what Jesus have seen when He came knocking at the door of my heart which I have humbly opened on the month of February, 2008.  image source:  http://celebritywonder.ugo.com/wp/Oscar_Isaac_in_The_Nativity_Story_Wallpaper_2_800.jpg    It could also be what Joseph have for his life when God knocked him off with a thought that his fiance was pregnant. He's got plans. To where the wedding will be held, who the guest will be; family, relatives, and a couple of friends maybe. To where they will raise their children. Or maybe just a
