Don’t quote me on this

I like quotes specially the witty ones. These quotes make me ponder about life. I like quotes where there is a play with words. It amuses me. I myself have a few quotes of my own. Of course, they are not as witty, thought-provoking or amusing as the famous ones. But they came about because of my experiences in life.

• If what I'm doing is wrong then I don't wanna be right
• You already have my heart, you are not gonna take away my pride
• It's not really what you say but how you say it.
• Some things are not meant to be said, they are meant to be felt.
• Jesus died to save you. If you were to die at this very moment, can you honestly say the life you've lived was worth saving?

Damn if you will, damn if don’t

You are in a raft which could only accomodate 2 people. You see your aunt and uncle in the ocean drowning. Who would you save? That's a typical Catch 22 situation. By definition, Catch 22 is a problematic situation for which the only solution is denied by a circumstance inherent in the problem or by a rule. It is presenting two equally undesirable alternatives. A more realistic example is when you can't get hired for jobs because you have no experience, but you can't gain experience unless you get a job. Basically, Catch 22 is "heads I win, tails you lose." Stephen Covey preaches to have a win-win situation. But that is not probable for this scenario.

Paano magmahal ng tama kung ang pinili ng puso ay mali?

That’s the byline of one of the foreign telenovelas on a local channel. When I first heard it, it struck me. Why? Your guess is as good as your CSI skills. Seriously, this quote really made me think. It’s like deciding on how much to donate to charity when the money was acquired through ill-gotten gains. Taking a page out of the Numb3rs series, mathematically speaking, it is like solving for the average (X) of a group of numbers and your formula is 5 + 4 + 7/3 = X. X would never be the average of the numbers because of the wrong formula. So how did we go from something so intriguing to something so geeky? That’s just a glimpse of my train of thought.

A blogger. Me? Yeah, right

You see, I’m a very private person. I don’t wanna be “out there”. I  don’t even have a friendster account, much to the consternation of my friends. So why am I opening this blog account? I could say my friends nagged me into doing so. But that’s not the case. I created this account on a whim or impulse. No, I’m not changing spots. Who knows, this could be my first and last blog. But this could also serve as outlet for my inner musings. Only time will tell…..
