if you know your birthday but don't know how old you are (like, helllllo!)... or, you're curious how many months old you already are, or how many weeks, days, hours, minutes or seconds... or, you want to know when your (biological) parents probably had sex that led to your eventual conception, etc, then you may want to check out:

even crammers get the blues
i always wonder: why is it always so hard to just start working? no, not just "working," it's more like, writing?
based on my experience, it's always easy for me to start doing something--like, doing the laundry, or buying something, or paying the bills.
but with writing, it always takes me hours and hours just to muster enough courage to type the first letter. or being sure of the first word. or being confident that the first sentence makes sense.
and i always end up noticing how dusty the pc monitor is. so i clean it. then the work station will suddenly look too cluttered. and before i know it, i have already cleaned the whole house.
then, i will feel like writing finally. but then, i am already exhausted.
so i will have to rest and wait for the following day.
and, somehow, i have this weird notion that i already have a headstart since i am finished with all the dilly-dallying. then, lo and behold, another day comes, i sit in front of my pc, i find it difficult to press the first key, so my eyes wander to look for something new to clean.

(isang ipokritong sermon mula sa isang nagmamarunong)
ginagawa lang tao ang lahat ng magagawa n'ya upang manatiling buhay at maligaya.
kung ano ang ugali at maging desisyon ng isang taong nasa isang mahirap na sitwasyon, iyon ang totoong siya. ang prinsipyo at paninindigan ay hindi nasusukat sa kung ano ang inuugali ng isang tao kung kailan komportable ang bagay-bagay. bagkus, natitimbang ito sa panahong walang nakakakita at walang magagalit, o walang maaaring matakbuhan, at kapag buhay at kamatayan / dangal at kasiyahan ang pinamimilian.
ang taong tapat, iwan mo mang mag-isa, sa matagal na panahon, ng limpak-limpak na kayamanan, ay hindi matutukso at ni hindi sasagi sa isip niya ang magnakaw kahit katiting. at sakaling matukso man, makakaya niyang kontrolin ang sarili at pagnanasa, pananatilihin ang respeto sa sarili at sa mga mahal sa buhay, at iisipin muna kung ano ang maaaring maging bunga ng kanyang gagawin.
pero ang taong likas na mandaraya--kahit piso lang ang mapunta sa tabi n'ya, kahit mapalingon ka lang, kahit ilang segundo lang--magnanakaw at magnanakaw siya. di niya kasalanan na mayroon siyang ganong pagnanasa. pero ang kasalanan niya ay ang hindi paglaban sa ganoong kasamaan.
