Eh, sa Thailand,

Sa Pinas, magsama-sama lang ang

mga ilang tao sa public place,

This is much worse than

LOOKING FO FREEDOM

I often encounter people who, at first, would talk to me,

yet, after sensing my stand would, stay out of contact

becoz I don't share their political color.

I don't give a damn, anyway....

*

But their actions make me realize how 'makitid'some minds could be!

I remember a friend from way, way back: Emy.

She, whose idol was marcos the dictator,

never ran out of praise for the fallen manipulator.

I always say what I feel,

even if I have to defend the minority or

the least popular sentiment at any given time.

OH yes!

we argued a lot,

but still manage to exchange ideas and pleasantries [not faked, ha?].

Those around us were always at awe and often commented:

'How can you both do that?'

You see, Emy and I share exactly the same ideas on everything, except politics!

And I have my deepest respect for her despite that one gap.

That didn't stop me from shunning her,

or condemning her when news came out that she was some General's mistress.

That, is her personal choice.

Over all, she is OK by me....

"What a person believes, and thinks, can never be a crime:

Otherwise our prisons would be filled with novelists and essayists

who express the darkest, the harshest and, often, the bloodiest, thoughts

concerning our society. Jose Rizal was thrown into prison

for revealing what he believed to be the country's "social cancer.""

......so writes my favorite columnist.

I wholeheartedly agree.

***

Curtailing one's speech and the way people think is not only a crime in a free country.

It's preposterous to do so!

Gone were the olden days when the word of the Monarch was Law

and everyone else MUST follow!

RAIDING The Daily Tribune, a newspaper office amidst the illegal 1017

patterned, no....lifted word-for-word from the dead dictator's 1081,

is a blunder ate glue made.

I refuse to call her Madam President

becoz there is a hanging sword of Damocles in her 'winning'the 2004 elections.

To me she is trying to GLUE herself by the Pasig,

despite the illegitimacy!

****

These days, despite the lifting of 1017, the offices of the PCIJ,an independent newsdesk

whose only fault was to make available online the 'Hello Garci' tapes

are threatened by the powers-that-be.

that befall journalists in this country.

"I DID IT WITH MY LITTLE HATCHET." -Abe Lincoln

I remember that from years past....when some Akela Leaders

would tell us stories as we gathered around the Campfire.

I remember those lines today as I encountered another unbelievable glimpse

into the heart of one compatriot

who denied she said what she said!

Goodness, goodness!

*

The meeting started at 5 with all five Trainees in attendance.

Napagalitan sila dahil sa hindi pagsunod sa oras.

They were also asked to sign their names for the BankAccount

to be opened by the Company for them.Yung savings nila[50%],

will automatically be deducted sa monthly pay and deposited into their accounts.

Para bang forced savings.....so that when they go back home after 3 years,

siguradong may ipon sila.OK, di ba?

Blah-blah-blah---et cetera...and we ended up past 6:30PM.

**

What shocked me most was the reaction of the leader, J.

She denied saying some lines when I quoted her....

Oh me goodness!

I seldom forget the idiosyncracies of my students

no matter how many they are in a class.

I can hardly believe that such a person exist!

I mean, really, really exist!

When she repeatedly denied it, I just smiled and said, "OK, Forget it!"

Unbelievable!

Later, after the meeting, she came to me and in front of everyone else, said,

"Sorry, Ma'am C.,I really forgot about that.

I don't remember that incident."

She hugged me and I tried to fend it off [as nicely as I could ]

coz I never want to be hugged by such dirty-hearted person!

Kadiri!

Oh well!

I said "I'll never talk to you anymore.Nakakatakot ka pala...

You easily forget everything thing you say!

I don't!"

Too late for me, but here's A Lesson in Life for Cory:

"NEVER TRUST ANYONE

TO OWN UP ANYTHING THEY SAY OR PROMISE!"

lest I be frustrated later on.....

Whewww!

***

TRUST

I still can't believe that a woman in her mid-thirties [35] can tell a lie!

How can that be?

Unbelievable!!!::::> in my own lil world.....

But I wanna thank her next time:

she made me take a glimpse inside the bowels of her being!

Para siyang SAYURI: isang isda na maganda at ka-aya-aya sa labas,

ngunit maitim sa loob.

**

Maybe it's because I've been lucky to have found incredibly good friends

that I forgot to see the "other side" of people.

***

Of course, people have different windows to show others.

There are windows we want others to see of us,

and there are true windows with which we see of ourselves.

Sometimes, people project differently from their true selves.

I wonder why they do that.

As for myself: WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!

*****

Was I a fool, then?

A fool becoz I believed what someone told me,

only to deny it later to make me look like someone who can't be trusted!

Sa harap pa ng Plant Manager?

******

ALL my life, I have followed rules set by my parents

because I believed and loved them.

I respect my parents so much that I am grateful even now,

for the values they have instilled in me.

In a sense, I have established a no-nonsense reputation

as someone to be trusted.

My friends say so, my kamag-anaks say so,

Lolo says so, everybody else say so....

except that Kababayan who denied what she said!

Maybe she was out to discredit mein front of the Boss.

Maybe she wanted me out of her way....

Possible!

HARU- ICHIBAN

Today,the calendar marks HARU-ICHIBAN

HARU-means Spring and ICHIBAN means numebr 1.

This means that the first gusts of wind

that heralds the entrance of Spring is here.

All over Japan, cold gusty winds were felt.

Rainshowers also were noted,

makin g the mercury drop to chilly temperature.

Although it is officially Spring,

thick jackets are still very much in use.

We can't send them yet to the cleaners....

Not yet, anyway...

*

I work for several companies here.

Three, to be exact.

My employers know that I have to keep my schedule open:

I have special classes to attend to, that's why.

Besides, I go home to Inang Bayan

several times a year.

I also join travel tours once in a while.

**

I hate being tied down at the workplace.

I can't work 8-5;

Hence, they consult via the celfone.

[They issued me one...]

On times when there is a need to be at meetings,

they inform me beforehand and I go attend them.

Otherwise, my sked stays.

I can even reaarange the sked to accomodate my 'bakasyon',

if ever I want to go into one.....

I am supposed to be with the Trainees to guide them on weekends,

or on days when they are off-work.

For me, it's great!

I don't get to be alone on weekends anymore.

The only problem is dividing my weekend among them.

***

Some say I get fantastic arrangements with the Companies I work with.

Hmm...maybe....

But the reason I accepted the job was obvious right from the start:

I will have to GUIDE Pinay workers on their first year here.....

For me, that is quite satisfying.

To be able to impart some good things to newcomers

and/or to be able to show them the way

is something no amount of money could ever equal.

As I told the trainees during their graduation from Training:

"Baguhin natin ang impresyon ng mga Hapon sa ating mga Pinay!"

****

Aside from that, I have three SHA-CHOs[Company Bosses]under my wing.

They are into EIKAIWA[EnglishConversation] lessons once a week.

Siyempre, IBA ang bayad dito, noh!

Added to that, the three Shizuoka-Daigaku [ShizuokaUniversity] students

who have been under my care for two years now,

have been getting better as the days go by....

plus those kids who come to my place for 45-minute-lessons......

*****

It is hard work, mind you...but worth it.

I have to be at one place one hour,

and another Company the next...

.while answering the calls made by a Company Owner who may be prantic

becoz one Trainee is sick!

The calls find their way till the wee hours of the night!

******

Perhaps, it is safe to say that I am enjoying my work

for the first time in two years...

::::not only does the paymake my bankbook growing....

it also makes my heart leap with joy

DOLL FESTIVAL

HINA MATSURI

HINA means DOLL;

It also pertains to YOUNG GIRLS.

While MATSURI means FESTIVAL.

Today, March 3, is just that: HINA MATSURI.

It's the day for young girls who receive dolls

dressed in typical Japanese garments.

*

This Matsuri takes its roots from China,

which celebrate the day for Girls several weeks after the Lunar New Year.

**

Grandparents and/or parents buy dolls

for their granddaughter/daughter.

The price range from several thousand Yen to

hundreds of thousand Yen,

depending on who made it,

or the type and size of the Dolls.

Usually, they come in pairs.

They come in glass casings and elegantly dressed.

**

I remember receiving my set from my parents a long time ago.

I still keep mine in MonteBello.

***

Young girls are brought to Temples since last Sunday.

Most families dine out and

celebrate having a girl in the family.

The Boys also have theirs in early May...

and has since been part

of what the Japanese call

the "Golden Week"....>>>>

but that, my dear, is for another day.

WORK

HI-HO! Hi-ho!........

so off to work I go....

*

Some people detest the very means which provide them their meals!

They just wait and wait and do nothing to while away time.

Some remain idle that they grow impatient

as they look at the wall clock slowly ticking....

THAT, is something I cannot fathom.

Maybe its becoz I enjoy what I do.

**

Being contented and satisfied with what we do

has a lot to do with our state of mind,

thus, our total well-being.

***

Some work may not pay us that much,

but its the satisfaction I get that matters most.

I enjoy sharing what I know,

no matter how minute it may be.

I love to see the kids' [& the Trainees'] eyes light up

every time learning takes place.

To be able to impart something to others

is one feeling that keeps my adrenalin surging....

It gives me an all-time high!

Much, much better than a body massage

or a reflex foot therapy session!

May TAKOT pa ba sa ML?

If people cower in fear, then it is the end.
This line of thought made ML last for 20 long years,

becoz everyone thought,mas maganda ang effect.

Noong UNA, oo...

pero habang tumatagal,

lumalabas ang bali-balitang pang-aabuso ng ML.

Inalagaan ni marcos ang militar noong panahon nya.

Lahat ng pang-aabuso, detention,

at pagpatay ng walang kapararakan eh ginawa nila.

Dumami ang mga DISPARECIDOS[The DISAPPEARED],

mga na-DETAINED

gaya nina Diokno, Ninoy, atbp. nang walang kaso.

Kung meron man, mga concocted cases

that was borne out of the disillusioned mind & paranoia of a dictator.

There can be no freedom

To quote Randy David in his column Sunday,26 Feb.

"The Day After"

[he, who was detained by ate glue's men

for marching towards EDSA to attend its celebration...]

>>>"At 9 a.m., on Feb. 24, 1986, 20 years ago, Marcos went live on Channel 4, surrounded by his generals, to announce a nationwide state of emergency. How uncanny that Ms Arroyo should choose the same date to announce the same draconian measure to suppress the same perceived conspiracy supposedly between the extreme Left and the extreme Right. Marx was indeed right: "Events and personages occur at least twice in history-the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce."<<<

Ate Glue is doing a marcosian tactic.....

And she says for the country?.....

or for 'other' interests?

You tell me!

After all, ate glue proves she's truly"small but horrible"!!

She reminds me of a 'wicked witch'

EDSA IN MY MIND

TODAY is the 20th Anniversary of EDSA 1,

that Peaceful People Power 'Revolution' that sent Marcos and his cohorts,

including Imelda of the three thousand shoes fame,

packing and huffing aboard a US helicopter away from it all.

*

I remember an old classmate-friend of my Father

who sent us a Telegram congratulating us for a wonderful bloodless revolution

that ousted a dictator.

Other friends and Companies where Tatay once

had business connections called us, too.

**

I remember that clearly now.....

my Father was in MManila at that time.

Crowds gathered at UP: old Professors and young students gathered.

Together they marched towards EDSA

and stayed there for the rest of

the day.

Helicopters hovered on the air,

and fear filled the air.

Some shouted that the crowds may be hit

from atop.

Some brought radios and

people listened.

Runners kept the crowd abreast of what's happening

at the other end.

Vans with sandwiches and drinks

were free and people became strangers no more.

The feeling of oneness was there.

It was atime when the BAYANIHAN Spirit

was working.

ALL for one purpose:

To OUST a dictator.

***

WHAT NOW, MY LOVE?

..... what do we have lately ?

Arrests justified as part of a 'coup-d-etat' plan

supposedly to oust Ate Glue from her entrenchment by the Pasig!

Even Randy David, an activist-lawyer and the

top brass of the Army and the PNP were nabbed.....

****

While I do not condone the part that some TraPos are 'using' the masses

for their own political end,

I abhor the use of force to intimidate the people from saying

what they feel is their right.

I detest the use of 'Law' to cover up their own lawlessness.

I have always supported the RIGHT, not the wrong;

I praise the GOOD, and shun the evil.

A LA CARTE

Take your pick: anything is free!

That is what one gets if you run for office and "win"

....provided you have the "machinery."

That, I believe is the fundamental tenet of every politician"elected"

or appointed by the hands of gods,

the colors of whom are as black as the pit from where they came.

They are::::::::::

>FREE to grant illegal logging permit, mining permit or even sanction illegal Jueteng, or anything illegal under their very noses!

>FREE to appropriate public funds to cover even the salaryof their 'Hardinero', Cook, or 'Labandera'....

>FREE to manipulate digits and numbers to accomodate their whims...

>FREE to do as they will, after all, "what are they in power for?"

I could go on and on and the list will stretch to eternity...

These will go unnoticed until a disaster comes a-visiting their areas,

and lo!....the public takes notice.

I am not complaining because of personalities or whachamaccalit....

I have been espousing this lines some ten or so years ago.

***

PINOY ako, and my Father whose death twenty-years ago proved

he loved PILIPINAS more than he loved his own,

because he chose to stay in Inang Bayan,

rather than seek treatment in his native Land.....

makes me think twice.

He always said ours is better than any other country

he had been to. I cannot understand that when I was young.

Now I do.

Like my Father before me, I LOVE this country more

than I do any other Land I have migrated to.

I sincerely hope and pray that all necessary Programs or Plans be implemented ASAP

to save our natural resources.

EVERYONE must GET INVOLVED and NOT ALLOW anyone

to desecrate our LAND.

STOP ILLEGALS: logging, mining, and anything that may ruin nature.

STOP even the so-called "authorities" who cut trees.....

or who allow them....

Let us all work together to PLANT MORE TREES

and PARTICIPATE in any COMMUNITY PROJECT

that may help the Country in any good endeavour.

PIECE OF MY MIND

I've been reeling and seething with something I can't place....

It started when the Trainees assigned to me did not follow the instructions.

*

IN JAPAN, one has to keep his words,

lest he be branded as unworthy, someone who cannot be trusted.

As in any other place, SHINYOU [TRUST/REPUTATION] is something we earn.

Here, it is EVERYTHING!

And one way is to keep our promise.

The leader and two others didn't.

They were supposed to meet me after lunch,

but they got back to their 'House' a few minutes before 6PM!

And they didn't even bother to call me via the Company mobile.....

When asked why, one of them, R, was defensive, and rattled:

...that she knows what to do,

and that they needed to go around....

et cetera....et cetera....blah-blah-blah!

She couldn't even look at me straight...

Here, that is tantamount to someone you can't trust!

**

So today, I called the Plant Manager

and asked that I be included in the next meeting with the Trainees.

He told me to report at 5.

I did!

***

They were all gathered at the Conference Table.

As I entered the Hall, I saw the Company Owner at his desk

at the far end of the Hall.

He looked my way and I nodded in greeting.

He nodded back.

****

As we were talking: the Manager,

the 6 trainees and myself,

the Owner came around and started to listen.

He began to sit down as he listened

and became interested in the discussion.

I reported on the happenings since the onset of February

and they were all ears.

No one countered my report

because I was just telling the truth....

*****

The Owner reminded them that once they break the rules,

they will be sent home PRONTO!

The words were strong,

so much so that I feel the warning must be heeded...or else...

The Manager told me to "teach them the proper way of living,

going around daily life in Japan".

..and that "whatever problem they have,

to please contact C-san...."

...daw!

******

I translated them all for everyone's ears...

When all of them went back to work,

we [the Company Owner, the Plant Managerand I discussed rules of operations and discussed each Trainee's personality.

SHACHO [Owner] knows each one of them:

it was he who interviewed them back in Cebu.

We compared notes on how we find the

SEIKAKU [CHARACTER/PERSONALITY]

of the Pinay Trainees......

He laid ways and means to follow:

expenditure notebook, shopping,

and the like.

He instructed the Manager to be strict next time,

and refrain from smiling as that can be misconstrued as being lenient and soft.

*******

Having said a piece of my mind

was a load off my back.

I just hope the Trainees

got the message loud and clear.

Kaya?
