THE ISSUE on violence against women is one widely discussed topic in a variety of forums and copious articles in all media. Legislators all over the world are paying attention to giving women the rights, privileges, and respect attributed to men. Artists and advocates shine the light on discrimination and violence against women to amplify the call to equal rights.

Despite all these, women are still viewed as the lesser sex by many of us.

In the Bible, Eve was created because God said “it is not good for man to be alone,” which somehow tells us that Eve was created for Adam. Some interpret  it as “for the pleasure” of Adam, others say, “as Adam’s partner and co-equal.”

ONE OF GenSan’s pride,  Teatro Ambahanon of Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges, will stage Tecla, a contemporary ballet that depicts the struggles of today’s women, tonight at the KCC Convention Center.

Aside from being an art lover, I am especially interested about the show because a friend of mine, Hanna Theresa Rivas, is part of the cast. She won in last year’s National Modern Dance Competition duo category.

I already got a ticket. It only costs fifty pesos. I hope to see you there.

The show, I believe, is part of Kalilangan 2010’s public offering.  Check out Sir Avel’s Blog.

I CAN’T wait for this school year to be over.

I’m bored. It’s not that I am doing nothing. In fact, I’m doing a handful of activities. The thing is, I’m so bored with all these stuff. I’m so occupied with all these crap that I no longer have time for things that I’d love to do . Ugh.

I want action. I want adventure. I’m tired with all these routines. I want to go on a trek, or,  to just go somewhere else.

I MUST be in love. She’s always on my mind. She’s the one I’d want to run to whenever the world turns its back on me. I want to spend time with her. I long for her warm embrace. I’d do all that it takes just to be with her.

It feels so good to fall in love, especially if the one you love gives you peace of mind, comfort for your soul, and overflowing happiness.

That’s exactly how I feel whenever I am with my beloved.  Get to know her.

I SOMETIMES wonder what could be missing in my life. It’s not that I am too ambitious nor do I have insatiable desires. It’s just that I seem to live a life of mere routines.

I am doing a lot of things. I make people happy. I am doing my job well and I have good relationships with my superiors and colleagues. I am helping my family and I never gave my parents and my siblings any trouble at all. I have plenty of friends whom I go out with whenever time allows. I am doing my share of work in the church, fulfilling my duties as a Christian. But one thing is definitely missing.
