coming to light

i was checking out branches of my mom's tree overhanging cables in front of her house.  i wanted to saw them off lest they damage the cables when they get bigger.

me to sister:  'what sort of cable is that?  is that an electric cable?'

dangerous if electric.

ooops...

me again to sister:  'btw, if i die and you see something still being posted in my accounts, i'm not haunting anyone, ok.  you can schedule video publication in youtube.  that's simply late scheduling, not my ghost.'

of course, if you've been spewing lies, you should still be scared.

nothing is hidden that will not be exposed.

the truth is out there.

do you

in a lot of decision-making processes, the majority, or even just the plurality, prevails.

but you don't necessarily change your views,
your beliefs,
your principles
just because you turned out to be in the minority.
you may have a change of mind,
a change of heart,
because of additional information or whatever
but you do not change simply because you are outnumbered.

"stand for what is right even if you stand alone."

not everyone has the same thought processes.
not everyone is on the same wavelength.

bees seek out flowers.
flies are attracted to filth.
both are free to roam the face of the earth.

honor is not in numbers.
follow your beacon
not the crowd.

morning message from a friend asking whether i'm free [for a viber call].

me:  '2 minutes.  i'll just gargle 🤣🤣🤣'

friend:  'hahaha.  i won't be able to sniff that through the internet.  don't bother getting up.'

hahaha...  whether he smells it or not, i'd know what's with me.  i wanna do right by myself 😊

land and air

i saw a swarm friend's check-in at camarines norte.  i asked what she did there.

she said she just passed on her way to tabaco.

me:  'oh, is that along the way?  i've been to legazpi.  i don't remember passing through camarines norte.'

then i remembered  ->  we took a plane.  it went direct to legazpi.
