Jeepney Lifestory

Ang Jeepney. Sa buong buhay ni Ricky, saksi ang Jeepney na pamasada nila. Nabili ng ama  niya ang Jeepney na iyon galing sa mga naipong pera nito sa kasal nila ng ina ni Ricky. Nang mga oras na ipapanganak na si Ricky, ang Jeepney ding iyon ang naghatid sa ina nito sa ospital.  Lumaking ulila sa ina si Ricky, ngunit ang mga pagkukulang ng isang ina ay pinunan ng mapagmahal niyang ama. Nagisnan ni Ricky ang mundo kasama ang Jeepney na kasa-ksama maging sa pagtungo nito sa paaralan. Ang Jeepney ding iyon ang nagsilbing tagapaghatid kay Ricky sa  kolehiyong pinasukan nito sapagkat sakop ng ruta ng ama niya ang pamantasang kanyang pinapasukan.  Hanggang sa makapagtapos ng ito sa kursong nursing ay kasama nitong nagdiwang ang Jeepney na nagpasyal sa kaniya sa mundong kanyang ginagalawan. Ipinagmamalaki siya ng kanyang ama sa taglay niyang pagsusumikap sa pag-aaral  at ang pagiging mapagkumbaba nito sa kabila ng pagiging Jeepney driver ng kanyang ama. Nang magtapos si Ricky sa pag-aaral sa kursong nursing ay ipinagdiwang ito ng kanyang pamilya. Kasama ang ama at ang buong angkan ay napagpasyahan nilang magtungo sa Baguio. Lingid sa kaalaman ni Ricky na iyon na ang huling byaheng makakapiling niya ang kaniyang pinakamamahal na ama. Lubhang nalungkot si Ricky. Kaya naman napagpasyahan nito na huwag na lanag munang ipagpatuloy ang pag bo-board exam nito.

Pagkalipas ng isang taon ng pangungulila sa ama’y napasyahan na ni Ricky na magpatuloy sa buhay. Naisipan na lamang niya na magpasada tulad ng nakagawian ng ama nito. Kaya’t imbes na magtrabaho sa ospital ay naging Jeepney driver si Ricky.  Muling nanumbalik ang saya sa mga pisngi nito sa tuwing maalala niya ang mga masasayang alalaa kasama ang ama habang nakasakay sa Jeepney.   Sa araw -araw na pamamasada ni Ricky ay iba’t ibang tao ang kanyang nakikilala.  Nararanasan din niya ang mga pagkakataong nadadaya siya ng mga kabataan sa kanyang byahe ngunit dahil sa kabaitang taglay nito ay natutunan niyang intindihin ang mga ito. Dahil ang tunay na rason kung bakit naisipan niyang maging Jeepney driver ay hindi dahil sa perang kikitain niya kundi dahil sa may sentimental na halaga ang jeepning iyon sa buhay niya. At iyon na lamang ang natatanging alaalang iniwan ng kanyang ama sa kanya. Kasakasama nito si Kiko, ang matalik niyang kaibigan mula pagkabata na nagsilbing caller o barker at kasama niya sa tuwing siya’y mamamasada. Saksi din si Kiko sa mga pangyayari sa buhay ng kaibigan nitong si Ricky kaya naman tumayo din itong kapatid sa kaibigan at sa pamamagitan ng pagbibiro nito at pagiging kengkoy ay natutunang muli ni Ricky na ngumiti at tumawa.

Minsan, habang namamasada ay napasakay sa jeep na minamaneho niya ang matagal na ding kakilala na si Maki. Isa din itong graduate ng nursing at isa pa sa mga topnotcher sa board exam. Umupo ito sa front sit malapit sa kanya at doon ay nagkaroon sila ng pag-uusap. Masayang kinamusta ni Ricky si Maki. Ikinagulat naman ni Maki ang hindi pagkuha ni Ricky ng Board Exam gayung isa ito sa mga mahuhusay na mag-aaral sa batch nito. Sandaling natigil ang kanilang pag-uusap ng isang sigaw ang umalingawngaw sa highway kung saan sila naroon. Isang batang lansanagan ang nasagasaan ng rumaragasang sasakyan. Hindi nagtagal at nagsipaglipana na ang mga usisero at usiserang hindi magkamayaw sa pagtingin sa nakahandusay na bata. Sandaling natulala si Ricky. Bumilis ang tibok ng kanyang puso.Tila tumigil ang oras ng mga sandaling iyon. Kinakausap siya ni Maki upang saklolohan at bigyan ng first aid ang bata ngunit tulala lamang itong si Ricky. Naalala niya ang mga oras na katabi ang ama habang sila’y patungong Baguio. Naalala niya pa ang mga ngiti sa pisngi ng kanyang ama at ang pagmamalaki nito sa naabot niyang tagumpay sa buhay.  Nang mahimasmasan si Ricky ay agad nitong tinanggihan ang saklolo ni Maki. Sinabi na lamang niya na paniguradong may dadarating na  tulong para sa bata. At nagpatuloy na lamang ito sa pagmamaneho. Ipinagtaka iyon ni Maki at hindi na nito kinuwestyon pa ang naging desisyon ni Ricky. Pag uwi niya sa bahay ay muling naalala ni Ricky yang naging kaganapan sa highway.  Maiiyak na lamang ito hawak ang litrato ng ama. Mag-isa na lamang sa buhay si Ricky at tanging pamamasada lamang ang ginagawa nito. Hindi niya maiwasang malungkot at mawala sa sarili sa tuwing makakatagpo ito ng mga aksidente sa gitna ng pamamasada. Hindi parin niya tuluyang matanggap ang trahedyang naganap sa kanyang nakaraan. Kaya’t ganoon nalamang kung pag-ingatan niya ang Jeepney ng kanyang ama.

What is the importance of knowing yourself and what others think about you? How does it help you?

To tell you all the truth, I myself doesn’t really know myself very well. When we did that activity last week, I had hard time thinking about my positive and negative traits. For this assignment, I have realized many things and here they are:

Importance of Knowing Myself

            All people are born and raised differently. That’s why we all have different beliefs, virtues, personality, habits, character, hobbies, fashion and many more. I also believe that all people are unique and wonderfully made by God which means I am no exception.

            I realized that the essence of knowing me is very important. This can be a big help and can even save me from trouble. Knowing me very well makes decision making easy, handling relationships smoothly and finishing a task with excellence. Why? It’s because I will be aware of my limits and capabilities. Awareness of these  makes all the things work because you can avoid disappointments but instead reach success for you do things you know you can and do it your own way without hurting others.


Importance Of Knowing What Others Think About You

            Some people say that they don’t care what others might think about them, it’s their life and their going to live it the way they want it… But I care.

            Knowing what other people think about me is very important. For they see the things that I do or they hear things that I say and those will be their basis for judging me and how they will relate with me. Yes, who are they to judge? But can you stop them? So by knowing what they think about you, you’ll actually get to have a chance to check yourself and change for the better. As they say, if you want a better world, change must start within you. It’s because I believe this change, can make a big difference someday.

            It’s a chain. If you treat others well, they will treat you well also. Let’s hold on to the golden rule.

 

How Does It Help?

            It helps so much! If I never knew what they think about me, I might never have the chance to prove myself and prove them wrong or maybe I won’t even have friends who will last.

            I know I’m not perfect but I’m trying to be the best I could be for the glory of God and for my love to the ones I’m very close with and to the ones I’m going to meet soon.

            Knowing what other people thinks about you, whether it’s good or bad, should be accepted with a smile and understanding heart and mind. We should always remember that it’s not a lost to change for the better. We should carry this well for these makes us whole. We being whole are being true. Being true make you more loveable. Being loveable makes other people think about good things and forget about the bad things. Stay true.

You kind of have to hold them long enough until they start pretending to cuddle with you. I call it “force cuddling”. It sometimes works.
Side note: Will post dates and details of my book signing for CvsH soon. I have 2 going on in the Bay Area (one at Books Inc. in the East Bay and one at Book Passage at the Ferry Building in SF), and another signing in Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, AZ. Email me at catvshuman @ gmail . com if you have any questions :)

[30082011 Strong Heart] Kyuhyun's beginning~!

  • Kyuhyun: The truth is, I spent only 2 to 3 months as a trainee. When I first entered the company, they gave me a CD to practice my singing and dancing;
  • Kyuhyun: One day they told me to follow them, I did and asked where were they taking me? They said I was now a member of Super Junior; I was struck dumb and said "Super Junior? Me?" It was really unbelievable at that time, Super Junior had debuted for 6 months, they were still newbies compared to the world superstars now on Strong Heart, and they already had 12 members, if I joined them it would make the total 13 members, which would definitely cause the members to hate me;
  • Kyuhyun: When I first met Leeteuk-ssi, I bowed (not 90°) and said "annyeonghasaeyo……", he replied "Greetings should not be done like yours." I hurriedly bow 90° to him;
  • Kyuhyun: At that time all the members stayed in a large dorm, all of them had beds except me; When I entered the dorm I asked where my room was, i got a reply "Just pick a place to sleep", since then I slept in each and every members' room for a month, I slept in Yesung's room, Ryeowook's room, even Sungmin's room; I endured this kind of life for 9 months.
  • Kyuhyun: One day Leeteuk-ssi said "Maknae, go and cook me some noodles." I said "Yes" and went about it, but it was hard to gauge the amount of water needed for cooking noodles for 10 people, and the noodles turned out soggy; Leeteuk-ssi took a bite, threw down his chopsticks and asked "Who cooked this noodles~!"; I could understand what he was feeling at that time, the feelings of 12 members becoming 13;
  • Ryeowook: At that time, Kyuhyun-ssi hid his drinking from the other members, he came to my room and laid on my bed saying "Ryeowook-ah, I'm so tired……" He started crying, like how they did in the movies, so I told him "Who is it? I think I can sympathize with your situation, is it that person?" He replied "It's Teuk hyung……"
  • Kyuhyun: When we started with "Twins" & "Miracle" we didn't clinch any No 1, but we finally got FIRST when we were promoting "U"~! The members were so touched and couldn't stop crying; I was very happy too, it was my first win as a singer and I wanted to cry badly but the thought of "Who am I to cry with them?" stopped me, I assume that the other members would be thinking this too, so I forced myself not to cry;
  • Kyuhyun: I kept my tears in all the way back to our waiting room, I kept thinking "What have I done to deserve to cry with them" to force myself to not cry, at this moment Leeteuk-ssi and my eyes met, he came over and gave me a hug, he said "Kyuhyun-ah, you've done well."; My emotions ran ran free and I replied "Ne, Teukie hyung." I hugged him tightly, and this was the moment where I really felt I was a member of Super Junior.
