Photo Story

One story says if people are into drugs and vices and the criminal activities that go with it ... it is alright not to follow the trend and the majority.  You may be an apple in the basket of oranges but ...to hell with them ... for as long as you are on the right path.

However this photo also tells us another side of the story. "Kaya ka napariwara kasi ang tigas ng ulo mo. You always follow what your mind dictates, kahit anong paalaala sa iyo ... ikaw pa rin ang nasusunod. I know you need to decide for yourself ... pero piliin mo naman ang mga laban mo. You need to know which ones are right and which ones are wrong.

You always defy convention and you refuse to obey the norms and the law. You always have the disposition to resist and the willingness to contend or fight. While others choose the right path, you go your own way ... even if you are alone.  As long as you are happy ... you don't mind being criticized, isolated, and ridiculed.

See where that gets you now! And there's no other person to blame but you.

Places We Visited: Wat Pho

Wat Pho is a Buddhist Temple Complex in Phra Nakhon District in Bangkok Thailand. Sometimes people call it as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.

King Rama 1 rebuilt the temple complex and became the main temple where his ashes were enshrined. The temple was later expanded and extensively renovated by Rama III. The temple complex houses the largest collection of Buddha images including a 46-meter-long reclining Buddha.

Wat Pho covers an area of 60,000 square meters and is one of the largest and oldest wats in Bangkok. The complex consists of two walled compounds. The larger northern walled compound is called phuttawat and the southern compound is called sankhawat.

The perimeter wall of the main temple complex has sixteen gates, two of which serve as entrances for the public (one on Chetuphon Road, the other near the northwest corner).

Life Is So Unfair

Injustice is defined as, a "lack of fairness” and “an unjust act or occurrence.” Taking it a step further, what is the meaning of “unjust?” It is defined as, “not based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair.”

Marami nang mga naimbento na moisturizer at lotion para sa balat ... pero sa ugali wala.

Meron pang cleanser, exfoliator, toner, antiaging cream, serum at weakly mask ... pero sa ugali wala.

Marami doctor sa balat like dermatologist ... kung gusto mo magparetoke - cosmetic surgeons are sprouting like mushrooms. Sa ugali may narinig ka na bang ugali-enhancer or behavioral surgeons?

Is It Fair or Unfair?

We always say that life is not fair, but there is no way to evaluate whether the act is fair or not. Take Covid 19 ... are the scientist evil for recommending a booster dose that seemed to have worked at the time easing our apprehensions about the severity of Covid, and now that another set of studies reveal that booster doses seemed to be more of a liability than help ... without context it is impossible to appraise and assess if the act is good or bad.

Is the training officer of the Police Academy that evil because of his insensitive mishandling of new rookie soldiers ... when all he wants is to separate the boys from men ... so the training will prepare them for the rigorous tasks inbred in the police job?

Is the orthopedist that evil if he amputates the patient's leg (there was tissue destruction and infection) just to save the body from progressive gangrene due to diabetes?

Was the obstetrician evil when they performed fetal decapitation when the baby was in a transverse lie, there was prolonged labor and the impacted shoulder threatens the life of the mother?

How many small-town lotteries (STL) winners had their lives turned upside down by their unexpected flow of cash? We all have heard anecdotes of people who missed the early bus only to be shocked that the bus plunged into a deep ravine with nil survivors ... and how about the chance passenger who thought it was his lucky day when a seat became available ... and then the crash happened?

What seems good or bad in one moment can appear exactly the opposite the next.
