My first post in a year!
Parang kailan lang nung huli akong nag-post, isang sentence lang yun tapos di na nasundan.
Technologically, blogs are slowly being gulped up by micro-blogging sites, well as they say this is a fast-paced world, everything is at the beck and call of our need for instant gratification.
Ang point ko lang ito, sa isang taon na lumipas, nawalan na ng halaga ang pagblablog. It’s not that it’s a thing of the past, it’s more like less and less people find it useful. Pero just a quick note, benta yung ‘Alamat ng cellphone’ ko ha! Andaming nagcomment!
But again back to the point, kagaya ng need ng tao sa blog na pabago bago, pati mga tao nag-iiba din ang needs sa kapwa nila tao. To put it succinctly everyone changes.
I’ll speak here kasi kahit papaano, walang magbabasa nito, at least I’ll have the opportunity to write it all down baka maintindihan ko.
I am the class president. I know people respect my opinion, I know I try harder and exert more effort to accommodate everyone’s different beliefs, different idiosyncrasies and different temperaments. Again I TRY. I try to understand each and every side then calculate the best move to go about with a situation. I try to balance the interest of many against my interests. I TRY.
Pag may gulo, makikisali ako, pero pag nakapaagisip na ako, sinusubukan kong ayusin, kasi alam ko may makikinig pag nagsalita ako. SINUSUBUKAN KO. Pag may hindi nagkakaintindihan sinusubukan kong makialam, bakit? Sadyang epal ako, oo, pero I try to keep the peace. I like things when the status quo is upheld. Pag wala yun nagugulo buhay ko, nadidiskaril.
Pag may tumitira sa mga kaklase, ko sinusubukan kong salagin, kasi hindi lahat sa amin marunong dumepensa ng maayos, minsan iyiniyayang-yang lang nila lalo ang sarili nila.
I like to speak for the consensus. I don’t assume that I speak for everybody, but I try to make sure that I speak for the majority. Is there anything wrong with that? I dunno! I speak in behalf of them because too many opinions is just clouding the basin, I speak so that nobody else needs to. It’s selfish I know, but it’s also for the good of the many.
But some would ask, who are you to determine what would be good or bad for the majority? To tell you frankly I don’t have the smart-ass answer to this question, what I know is I have a good pulse on people, I know what they feel and how they are going to react. I am good at encapsulating diverse ideas and delivering it to a larger audience. I am good at explaining things to people, I am good at explaining one side to the other. I’m good at this. I know my strength.
I know people get pissed with me, I know that, I may look gullible but believe me I can read people. Actually it doesn’t really need a rocket scientist. All you need is a strong gut-feel. Right now I know people are pissed because of something I said. Would I say sorry? I believe I won’t. That’s a period not an exclamation mark so it’s not declarative in any way.
I would just like to explain myself.
I could almost hear people saying “Pasty bakit defensive ka?”
Ewan ko, malungkot ako, siguro yun yon! Kasi mga kaibigan ko ang inaasahan kong unang magtatanong, ‘Pasty bakit mo kailangang sabihin yun?’ In fact ang inaasahan ko nga hindi ko na kailangang mag-explain e. Kasi sa tatlong taon nating magkakasama, you ought to know by now.
But then again, nag-aasume ako. I have changed. I can’t expect that they won’t. Siguro nga mas may bigat na ang salita ng ibang tao na nasa paligid nila kaysa sa salita ko? Who knows?
Kasi I don’t.
