My first words

good morning or good evening to all of you out there who are now reading this blog. I was suddenly compelled to share all my innermost thoughts and feelings about my personal experiences to the world. I mean its not like I go parading out in the streets telling people how i feel about how the government is corrupt and inefficient or how you could still drink from the pasig river in my time. It takes a certain degree of trust and people really have to earn their way to hear these personal stories, which is why i think you my audience are worthy enough to hear what i have to say.

anyways... lets get to the point. I was walking around the streets the other day when suddenly a healthy serving of bird crap hits me right in the eye. There were several ways on how i could've reacted to this and i chose the most natural one. Anak ng ****! I proclaimed. That was the first time that happened to me and it really pissed me off, which brings me to another story.

my first words... no it wasn't anak ng ****! It was anak na pepe, which is totally different from anak ng ****. I really don't recall how i could've said a series of three new words all at once but i dunno, that's what my parents told me. But why anak na pepe? When you come to think of it, it does makes sense that those were my first words. I was an offspring of my parents then and I also still am now which explains the anak part and my name's Jose which explains the pepe part. Even back then, i guess all my words made sense.

Maybe we can push this analysis a little further. Why anak na pepe? even in my younger years i guess i was already aware that i was an offspring, not only of my parents but of my country. I owe it to my parents and my country for bringing me into this earth and raising me to become the very respectable man i am now. I guess thats why i said anak na pepe because that is what I am and it really pays off being true to yourself and to stick to your beliefs and principles. Take me for an example, I was true to myself my whole life, i got shot for it but hey i'm still blogging now and enjoying life. Was it worth it? yes, i guess. How is it possible i'm still blogging? i don't know. anyways thats all the time i have for now. 'til next time!
