one sided accounts on events of my life

Lately, pangs is so obsessed with the "religion". She was making so much research just to prove that there is nothing to doubt about our faith (especially because of some greedy author whose initial is like a database to me). This may or may not help, but here are some passages that I came across.

A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.


I have not read the book nor seen the movie, so I'm not in the position to argue about it. But, the mere fact that he is trying to raise doubt about my faith, I think I have the right to express my beliefs. I used the word trying since even in his website he never explicitly said that what he wrote was true, he just said thet what he wrote was fiction but we will never know if it is true. For me, it is half fiction, half lies. I asked my supervisor about him, he told me that there is nothing about him, about his works. What made him rich and famous was the controversy about his works.

Here is a qoute from his website,
HOW MUCH OF THIS NOVEL IS TRUE?
The Da Vinci Code is a novel and therefore a work of fiction. While the book's characters and their actions are obviously not real, the artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals depicted in this novel all exist (for example, Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings, the Gnostic Gospels, Hieros Gamos, etc.). These real elements are interpreted and debated by fictional characters. While it is my belief that some of the theories discussed by these characters may have merit, each individual reader must explore these characters' viewpoints and come to his or her own interpretations. My hope in writing this novel was that the story would serve as a catalyst and a springboard for people to discuss the important topics of faith, religion, and history.

See the irony, how come that a story about a unreal figure with unreal actions can be a catalyst for REAL aspects of our lives. Following the premise, an unreal character like donald duck may be catalyst for us to discuss politics. I did not bother to watch its movie cause for me it another donald duck film, full of quak quak quak.

As usual, I can't sleep again. I guess I'm not used to sleeping without hearing the sound of the tricycle as they race against each other. Hay... ( I can't even remember how many times I used that word in just one month here). There is so many things I missed in manila, well aside from pangs, my family, my inlaws. Here are some non-pangs related things that I missed:
1. Meryenda, well in Singapore there is no official break time except for lunch break. Although when I'm in CBP, there are time that I was able to take coffee break in the afternoon. In DCE, wishing for meryenda is hopeless. We even have to travel at least 15 minutes just to find a place to eat during lunch.
2. Enterprise Tower 1, yeah yeah yeah it is a bit pangs related but aside from that it is really my favorite building. Of course there are other buildings more beautiful that enterprise but like your favorite pair of sneakers, it is simply your favorite.
3. Our garden, I believe most of the lawn was covered already by the peanut grass. That is one thing I really look forward seeing when I go home.
4. Driving, nothing compares the feeling of being in control when you are driving. You can go fast or slow depending on your mood.
5. FX, shuttle, vans - public transport here is kinda boring. So slow, so mabait. No excitement at all.
6. cheap food - jolly jeep, karinderya, turo-turo call it what ever you want but their turon, banana cue, BBQ or just plain boiled egg are simply delicious and very affordable. Who need a hawker full of mami?
7. sleeping on the way to or from work.
8. NSDG - after we decided we are going to get marry there, NSDG has become my sanctuary. Whenever we had misunderstanding I always go there, eat hopia and coke outside the church.
9. Kakanin - who can resist sapin sapin with latik ng nyog? or palitaw or just kutsinta with nyog? wow sarap!
10. Manga with patis & asin - ok, bagoong will also do but for me patis and asin is the best sawsawan for mangga.
11. Jollibee & Mcdo - their burger may be bland, but a little unhealthy food every once and a while is not bad for you. And it is nice to think that if you can't decide what to eat, there is always the bee or that guy in big shoes will come to the rescue. It is so expensive to eat in McDo in Singapore, I had once and thats it.
12. Pinoys - pinoys are always fun to work with. With the exception of some AHs, most pinoys are good office mate. It is always nice to have a little chit chat with your officemates.
13. TV - local shows here are way too boring compare to what we have. They may be a rich but when it comes to entertaiment, we still rule!
14. Our house - I miss thinking what to do with it, cleaning it I really missed our house.

I'm sure there are a lot more things that I missed about pinas. I'm sleepy, so that will do it for now.
