The Brief

Yeah, whatever. Sorry, but I feel like I would like to give the best title for my entry. Today, I will talking about the “KID NATION”. The wonder of being a kid, the unfathomable desire to know the meaning of faith, and the endless search for the truth. Yeah, whatever, these points alone are overwhelming to discuss, so I will just dwell on the basic – KIDS.

Yesterday, Sunday, my attempt to go to church after one-month, thank you God, I was able to renew my faith. I went to the spa, had a one-hour worth of relaxation and temporal relief from body pains. The story is about these two kids who behave like they are adults.

The love is in the air. The two love birds met like they were destined to be in the near future. It was an instant chemistry, the boy is gifted with beautiful face and the girl is undeniably a sweetheart at such an early age. They were unknown to each other until they met in front of me, while I am busy singing the church hymn. Oh, the early signs of childhood love. Such a sight to behold. Imagine the two kids running like wild birds in the forest, giggling at each other’s stupidity, laughing while running, staring at each other’s eye for a long time, that kind of stare that you only do when you are absolutely in love with a person (oh, as if I know). They are so cute, I have no idea I am no longer paying attention to the gospel.

They say that Kid Nation is a controversial TV show in America.

And what else could make it more controversial? CBS’ statement (well, it is stipulated in the contract that “they are not responsible if their kids die”.

Amazing. Unbelibabol. Imagine, parents signing this agreement. It’s like saying, “no problem, I don’t care if my son dies of starvation or dehydration” or “no worries, my daughter has been bitten by lots of mosquitoes, she won’t bother being eaten by a wolf”. I have no intention to malign the show, I think the show has some good stuff to offer, but this statement appears to be more one-sided and in favor of CBS.

Still going to watch the show anyway. I have fun watching those kids acting like some careless adults.

Philippines. Filipino, Pinoy, Pinays, words are all over the world now. Thanks to Desperate Housewives, Daily Show, Jay Leno, Kimmel, oh their racy slurs has blown out of proportions, and because of Filipinos hyper-sensitivity it became a national crisis.

And hey, Britney Spears song has mentioned Philippines. Lol, cool though, but I doubt if she has any idea about what she’s singing.

I’m Miss American Dream since I was 17
Don’t matter if I step on the scene
Or sneak away to the Philippines
They still gonna put pictures of my derrière in the magazine
You want a piece of me?
You want a piece of me…

My opinion, so what! Who cares? It hurts, yes indeed, but we are so busy to minding these things. So sick of watching news treating it like a breaking news. Let us just show the foreign community that we are not we think we are. Let’s move on, it’s not worth our time.
