za: i don't know

-oOo-
what's the best thing about the palawan trip:
za: underground river
yu: underground river
zi: the van, the boat and the airplane

note to self:
enjoy your kids while they're still uncomplicated and unencumbered. adulthood has a way of making us all serious: seriously funny, or sad, or clueless. we adults tend to become more deliberate, too self conscious, always eager to conform, to belong, to form an identity. in the process we end up losing our authenticity and a clear sense of who we are, which most people only regain past their 50s. (i've obviously been reading Tweetums Gonzalez and Gilda Cordero Fernando).
now i'm starting to sound seriously ruminant.
enough.
hahahaha
ReplyDeleteSoooo right. We should also pay attention to the kind of questions they ask, which we often take for granted and dismiss as inconsequential. These almost always turn out to be the questions that change the world.
