IT'S ALL A MATTER OF RESPECT

The news tonight featured a story about a child with special needs being asked to leave the aircraft of Cebu Pacific, a flight bound from Hong Kong to the Philippines. I was crying when I saw the news. Well, actually, I was already crying because of another misunderstanding that me and the sports dad were having and such misunderstanding was mainly focused on the little princess. So when I saw what the news was about, it broke my heart all the more.

Such Cebu Pacific crew should enroll herself in Special Education. If she can not afford to do so, she should at least learn the virtues of respect. Even children have rights and even children with special needs do... Such action and ill treatment can do more harm for the child and the crew or the airline can not even pay for such trauma... Bottom line is, ignorance excuses no one. If I am the mother of the said child, I would sue the said crew and the airline for damages...

NEW YEAR, NEW DINING ROOM FURNITURE

A new dinning room furniture is what we need. Yes, you read it right! Ours have served us for more than a decade already. It's made of Palo China, and it used to look great. Now, it simply looks awful.. What with the wear and tear that it had gone through over the years. And this year, it will simply accept its retirement like it is meant to rest for good. The decision was unanimous. The need is magnanimous... And the people desiring the change is more than willing to look for a replacement. Yes, you read it right again. We are still in the process of looking for the right furniture to replace the old. You see, we, as a family, are careful about what we take in and take out. Material or people deserve long term relationships.. So that explains why my father still keeps the old pick up though it is now parked in my garage here at the orange house. Why we keep friendships and special people close. We simply can not and do not throw away good relationships... And if our belongings could talk, they would agree with everything that I have written here.. Perhaps it's nostalgia. Perhaps it's respect. Perhaps, it's giving back the very meaningful service each has rendered, that with persons. But with each piece of furniture, perhaps it's the thought that without anyone of them, our lives would have been difficult... Ah.. They do not breathe, nor talk nor feel.. After all, they are non living things.. But still, we give them credit for what their purpose have done with each our lives.. Believe me.. This post will never be enough to explain everything...

I am just glad that we will soon have a new dining room furniture...
