POVERTY.. the unfinished musings from an old school me
Let me begin with what the heck is social justice?
I came across this term just recently during my labor class. I must admit it, i was forced to memorize the concept since it was one of the favorite lines enculcated in us by our professor. Aside from memorizing, i do not have a real grasp of the real thing, after all, theory is different from practice.
The fact that we law students are forced to memorize a lot of things, i thought the definition of social justice is just as any good as those enunciated by shakespeare, dan brown or even jose rizal. In short, it pertains to the time-honored principle of Salus Populi Est Suprema Lex. Ah, true enough, we are fed up with so many principles and theories that our cerebrum is already overpouring with letters and terms.
Needless to say, we do not need concepts, we need efforts. PERIOD.

I have began to realize that there is more to being happy these days. I thought contentment is the most important "feeling" or state every person must have. For the past few months or year to be exact i am living far from my relatives, truth is, i only get to see them twice a year. With the given fact, i am inclined to being lonely most of the time, but i wish not to be bothered by such dilemma lest i’ll forever be miserable.
With many things i have in mind to keep me busy i thought about doing well with work as an avenue to advance my being. Since, i am connected with sales, quota is just a by-word. Humble enough, i am sorry i havent exceeded the desired numbers, but i have constantly able to establish rapport with my clients, which cannot be bought nor paid for.
With my day to day interactions among them, i began to see life at its best. I thought contentment is the secret to being wealthy. I do not wish to expound on the 5 W’s and 1 H of contentment because it will take me years to finish an astonishing piece. We just have to take a look at the silver-lining of every opportunity that comes along.
Now, i am happy within.

Lately, i had succumbed to an (i must believe a worthy) investment by buying an iPod mini. It was my dream to have one eversince. Now, that i have actually acquired a right over that thing, excitement creeps in.
Despite the fact that i dont get to watch tv anymore, i thought my iPod should compensate for the lost opportunity of being linked to the boob-tube. Anyway, i have began to think that i have a cause for buying such a small piece of technology- that is to stop piracy. Having to store as much as 1000 songs in an iPod memory will forbid one to steal music by buying pirated cds everywhere which according to a lot of sources, helps syndicates push through with their evil agenda and we know what are those anyway.
Now, i contemplate on the fact that i am not anymore a non-conformist. I love technology and its advantages. Before, i am saddened by the fact that nokia cellular phones for example are easily outdated by new sophisticated ones. Too bad. Now im grateful for my XDA (a company-given gadget), i do not have to think obsolescence anymore. Someday, i wish to own a house that is powered by a single remote control, a car that is driven via a voice identification tool, a pet that talks, a helper which is an iRobot, but never a boyfriend which is a product of cloning or technology itself for i must admit that in order to love someone, the mind and heart should dictate matters pertaining to love and life. Humans as we are, we are still the superior race and neither a bi-centennial man can contest such fact.
