i enjoy going out with moony because he brings such a different perspective. truth be told, my urban, middle-class upbringing has limited my exposure to people pretty much within my social status. this social and intellectual circle of mine continues to give me much pleasure, entertainment and solace, when needed. but i admit that moony's divergent background gives us much material to discuss. he tells me about a farmer's life, plight at the micro-personal perspective. this i listen to with much interest, as it personalizes what are just textbook or newspaper readings.
yet even as i have developed this predilection for the young man, i remain honest about this special friendship. i told him i won't commit. and that my track record speaks of inconsistency, short attention span, and of course, promiscuity.
for his part, he has been honest about his feelings for me. and clear about expectations, or the absence of any.
live for the moment, i tell him. meanwhile, i get to know more about an environment, about circumstances very different from mine. and i appreciate much more the reality of rural life, its challenges and its triumphs - that happiness has nothing to do with income at all.

"that happiness has nothing to do with income at all."
Tell that to the lower classes. I assure you they won't agree at all.
i resonate with this entry.
i think happiness depends on our upbringing and how affected by the society we ended up being.
I joined an immersion program when i was in college and until now i can still vividly remember that happiness can be derived from the simplest of things.
nice entry CC.
aw... parang naaalala ko tuloy asawa ko ngayon... sobrang different kami. me assuming a very high position at the company i work with and having to discuss ideas and concepts and work politic. him... wala lang... tungkol sa artista, bagong pelikula, usong damit... we are so different yet have managed to stay together on to a third year. sigh... mahal na mahal ko siya... wala lang. sharing.
hahaha. thanks, ming_meows
hmmm. but on the contrary, some of them are the ones showing me what happiness really means, b_q. happiness not necessarily means a problem-free existence.
thanks, narnian... if we could aspire for that kind of happiness!
great anonymous one. di niyo kailangan maging magkapareho para magmahalan!
