first 2 days of my working here at the studio, i commute only.. it's very exhausting i have to take 5 rides going & another 5 rides going back home. very very stressful, especially when i take the bus.. besides it's slow speed, it's crowded! so now i drive everyday, except for tuesdays.. (becoz of freakin color coding, have no choice, my bro's using the corolla) but lately, i took the taxi when heading home. i dont like riding jeepneys at nyt.. very unpredictable.. u know what i mean..& their terminal is very eerie dark! anyways... one time, i took a taxi beside the SM centerpoint. "ma, sa may araneta-sto.domingo lang, derecho".. when i got in.. i notice his meter was turned off. "manung? sira ba metro mu?" .."ay! hindi! hindi pa naman tayo umaandar e.. chaka ko na pipindutin kapag umaandar na tyo.. dba tama naman yun? keysa binuksan ko hindi pa naman tayo gumagalaw.. eh mali naman yun? (hmm.. good point.. hehe) i said:"sabagay..." after 10 mins. of silence.. i finally asked him:"sayo ba talaga tong taxi? or may operator kyo?" ..."saken po to...bago lang ako nagpasada.. sundalo ho ako.. sa Navy." (huwaw! disciplined! kaya pala!) i said:"ah! ako din dati nun sa CAT pa namin.. navy rin kami!" then another 5 mins. of silence... i dont know how we went discussing the church & its people thingy... basta i discovered that this guy a christian.. he went to a church somewhere in manila.. but sadly, he's a little backsliding, have some "girl" issue yet he has a family in the province.. so i said that he should avoid seeing that girl or better yet confront her, tell her that you're a married guy.. yada yada.... well..he wanted to do that but have no enough guts.. & really ashame of his beliefs & so on & so forth.. to the fact that he doesn't want to go to church anymore.. plus he said that the elders are somehow "hypocrites" & obliging them to give 10% of their income for tithing.. "hmm, manung, baka naman po kulto yan pinasukan mu... kasi ang tithes naman hindi yan pinipilit.. kungdi kusang-loob binibigay..pero sabi sa Bible, yan ang minimum na hinihingi ng Diyos sa atin.. tutal sa Kanya naman nanggaling mga biyaya.."
well i hope he understood that.. hehe.. it's sad, some people in church are led astray becoz of "plastic" elders or leaders.. some are totally turned away from christianity & gone back to old habits.. tsk tsk.. the worst.. some churches are split becoz of misunderstandings & conflicts between leaders... =( after all, there's no perfect church on earth....
