BER
zzZZzzZzzzzzzzzzzzz.............
Boredom is a condition characterized by perception of one's environment as dull, tedious, and lacking in stimulation. This can result from leisure and a lack of aesthetic interests.

and because of that.. i will be updating this page!
ok. Start of the BER months once again. meaning..
- Christmas is fast approaching
- I'm going to add up 1 to my age once again
- The year will end soon
well anyway, i guess this post is a crap. I'm bored and got nothing to do here and I just would like to update this.
**an attempt to a good post which didn't turned out to be.
ciao!

the Big C
read this from another blog. worth sharing..
Today, my parents are celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary. It’s one of those days where it’s apt to ponder on a word that a number of people are afraid of– a big C that’s not cancer, but commitment.
Looking at my parents’ example, it’s so obvious that love is not a feeling. Sometimes, I wonder why they ever thought of getting married or why they’re still together after all these years. I guess they both know each other so well that they’re given more than enough reasons not to like each other. Yet, they’re still here. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I think they made the wrong choice! It’s just that seeing them is a testimony that love is a choice.
The choices we make
Given his type of career, Dad must have encountered many other women who are better than my mom– more beautiful, affectionate, and intelligent. The same goes to my mom. Yet, at the end of each day, they give their “yes” to the same person. In spite of everything (including their shortcomings and weaknesses) and because of everything.
They’ve had their share of bad times, too. Like all relationships, conflict comes into the picture. I’m not referring to trivial misunderstandings but deep arguments. In these days divorce and separation are almost normal, it’s a miracle that their marriage is surviving. A priest once hypothesized that what keeps people together is not the lack of conflict but the willingness to forgive each other one more time. Forgiveness can be a difficult choice, but it’s possible.
I’ve seen how their relationship lasted, not by holding on tightly, but by learning to let go. I can’t seem to describe what I mean to say in English, so I’ll use the Tagalog word for it– pagbibigayan. With this, there’s freedom and trust. There’s no dictatorship but partnership.
What’s scary about the Big C?
I bet that 26 years ago they were faced with compelling questions on commitment, the same ones that make a typical teenager hesitate to join YFC as a true blue member:
* Will I be able to do this?
* What if the Other will change?
* What if I change?
* What if this commitment changes me?
* What if I don’t have time for all the demands?
* What if the Other demands too much?
* What if I don’t meet all the demands?
* What happens when I don’t feel like it anymore?
What’s intimidating with commitment is that one becomes bound to the future while he or she only sees the present resources at hand. The future is indeed uncertain but that element of time is part and parcel of commitment. Even if there are marriages that end up in separation, I don’t think there’s any real marriage that’s NOT anchored on the hope for a partnership till death do them part. Yet people who commit take a leap of faith– faith in the Other, in the Self, and in Providence.
The inevitable
“For better or for worse…” Remember what Homer told Bart in the Simpsons movie, “the worst is yet to come.” As the relationship progresses, horizons are expanded: The good things get better while the bad things get worse. Life has a way of pushing people to the limits, and as these limits are opened up, one experiences growth.
My own parents example showed me that pag-ibig also consists of pagbibigayan, pagtiyaga, pagpakumbaba, pagmalasakit, pagpasensya, pagkakaibigan, paghihirap, pagpatawad, and pag-unawa. You know how it is: silver is refined by fire. Without these elements of fire there would be no pag-ibig but only a superficial type of pagmamahal.
I feel lucky that my parents have spent these last 26 years together. They’ve remained true to their word since August 15, 1981. They have continued to be committed by repeating their I do’s daily through their their words, deeds, and presence (surpassing moments of conflict and indifference). It wasn’t a fairy-tale-perfect “happily ever after” but a simple happily married after.
Cheers to more years of fidelity, friendship, and forgiveness!
