GREAT DAY
By: Iris P. Concepcion

There are several things I am thankful for and one of them is when I totally obliterate the doomsayers: the opposite is coming truer. In silence, the kids did not only get mannerisms fit for the gods, they had absolutely desisted from parroting violence and silly street threats. It always gives me sh*t to see them cool and unstressed, walking with goofy smiles on their faces with their Spielbergish space age backpacks. I think they are just happy. They are being deconstructed but I have lived with some of them; no image can deface that.

At least now I am more informed on who is there for mere props and those who are absolutely IN there because of conviction. Some of them fake to keep their race cars or something. Lame kitchen utensil. Am trying to kid but who is afraid of Virginia Woolf? I think I have never been clearer than in recent days about how I must impose myself on things in a non-obstrusive way. I am such a loser huh? ("Mommy's faking!"---Emergency is in control hehehehe).

I like the people grouped together; I think I can eat with them without being so "forced" into it. At the core of everything is still my opportunity to debunk the stupidest ways some people get to me via latent plasticity. I see through that. You know the partner is so good in overturning this; am taking after him is all. I did not take the bait and I am winning some armchair nods on my side, tough luck. One person at a time; I am getting there kids.

They do not look desperate, even. Good manners always win points. Not hypocritical.

And I like it when the hecklers almost weep when the ads run and run and run and run as conscience pricklers. Without even trying. It is difficult digesting the hypocrites but just get on with the hypocrisy. Braggarts get hit hard. And not even by myself. I feel validated.

Thanks Moe. This writer will just continue adoring your groove. Obviously, it does not come close to anything Mr. Spock has done lately for the Star Trek community. Am proud of you.

Does my bra peek out from my ugly dress partner? If it did, toss it off. Smiley.
