*sings* Sinong dakila? Sino ang tunay na baliw?...
I am crazy. Isn't it obvious? I seem normal, ordinary, but deep-down I have erratic desires known only to me. No, I won't tell you what they are. They are secrets destined for me to keep. Because if I tell you what I want, what I feel, what tickles my fantasy, you'll think that I am crazy.
But that is exactly what I am. Crazy. And I am proud of it.
What is ordinary? What is deviation from normality? What is accepted by the society? What if I don't want to be ordinary? How could anything be wrong if it feels so right? In the first place, what is wrong and what is right? What if I want to make love in the middle of a park in broad daylight? What if I choose to run away with a man I just met in a coffee shop? What if I want to strip naked in a cinema?
Does that qualify me as a normal being? Or does that make be categorized as insane?
Is being normal means we have to act and think like everybody else? Is that being sane? Where is happiness if we cannot achieve everything that our mind and body desire? Is happiness a state of mind or is it a choice? What price do we get from following the norms and the rules? Why do we unconsciously strive to be conventional just to please everyone when in fact we're not even pleased with ourselves?
Why care about decency and morality when it's suppressing our humanity? Why are priests given genitals when they're not supposed make use of it they way humans do? Why do we considered some things as taboo? Why do we pretend to be sane when crazy ideas won't stop flooding our minds? Why don't we give in?
Why am I asking all these questions? Am I making any sense at all? What do I really want?

freedom.. is...uh..er.. a word. hihih kurni tlaga ako forever. haha
actually, freedom (for me inay) is a matter of choice. we are free by nature. sabi pa nga ng mahal kong incubus: "the day you were born, you were born free.." i think it is really up to you to exercise it. freedom comes in many ways.. do what you want. yun lang.
magulo ata. wehehe jowk. :P labyu inay! for free un! hihih

Really?! Then I am freeeeeee..... NGEEEHEEEHEEEHEEE! Nasobra lang siguro ang intake mo ng katol ngayon kaya naisipan mong ipost yan. Tsk, why do we always have to follow the rules? The laws? The so-called peace and order dominates the so-called society.

ahh kasi if everyone did exactly whatever they wanted, think of the chaos this world would be in. kung ang mga magnanakaw at mamamatay tao ay malayang gumawa ng nanaisin nila kawawa ang mga inosente. kung ang mga adik ay hahayaan mag-drugs, sino ang magp-protect sa kanila mula sa self-destruction? somehow kelangan pa rin natin ng rules & laws para ma-protect ang mga tao sa paligid naten pati narin ang sarili natin.
wahhaha... ewan ko kung may sense ang sinabi ko :D

freedom? sa totoo lang di naman natin absolutely nae-exercise ang bagay na yan..bakit nga ba?dahil sa may deviation,because of races?life standards?etc....bsta hirap kumilos ng naaayon sa kung ano ang sasabihin ng iba...so go for ur desire and want knowing ur limitations and responsibilities...un lang -:)
Have a great thursday, meann!TC!

hmm...naalala ko yung "veronika decides to die" ni paolo coelho sa post mo. parang nasabi kasi dun maraming tao ang nalulungkot kapag tinatry nilang mag-conform sa society.
sa pagkakaalam ko, mas masasaya daw ang mga taong nagdi-drift away from the norm, kasi sila yung mga taong sinusunod talaga ang deepest darkest desires(yikes, pwede palang DDD yun!).
nice post ;)
