Uniform my way

I'm going to wear my uniform tomorrow Monday Yey!!!

People around the globe wear uniforms to show what their profession is,
what school they go to, and so on.

Even during the early days of history, examples of people wearing uniforms include
the clothing of the armies of the Roman Empire and other civilizations.

A uniform, from the word itself, "uni in form" is a set of standard clothing worn by
members of an organization. It's probably a way of making people aware what that organaization is all about,
united for a purpose. Whatever that purpose be. In the Philippines almost all institutions are supposed to wear
uniforms, in schools, university, government agencies and some private organizations.

I remember when I was in my Kinderagrten and Grade school days, being the product of the same
educational institution, At first I dreaded wearing my High school uniform,
it was still the same old navy blue jumper-pleated skirt
with white cotton blouse, but it was now with long sleeves. I used to imagine being uncomfortable,
being in the country of tropic and humidity. But I guess I was just not that into being a High school student yet.

It's been ten months since I became a regular government employee. I didn't have to wear uniform,
but this Monday I now have a set of uniforms to wear.
Well, it was good news for me. Because I would not have to think everyday of what to wear. It's also
practical. But, parts of me is a bit hesitant, wearing a uniform would mean, that i am stuck on my job.
During these days of recession all over the world, I am grateful with my job and all...
But, I plan to do better, I plan greater things... Which by the way, I don't know how to realize yet...

But, in the mean time, I will probably let myself enjoy wearing my uniforms...

Boxing to victory!


Can't get enough of Pacquiao victory

Since Manny Pacquiao won against Hatton, i've been browsing the net
watching over and over again that particular fight.
I have also seen almost every
post analysis of some people about it.

I've probably joined the Pacquiao phenom...
And to think, I used to view boxing as a brutal inhumane sport.
Remember the movie Gladiator starring Russel Crowe.
The Romans were cheering and almost having fun in the coliseum,
while watching some people die. Doing the so-called "gladiator sport".
I don't know what better word to call it.

I've been browsing the net to find some inspiration. There are times when I feel
I don't know what my purpose is. I wanted to express myself and do some
productive things, like the ones I listed duiring the new year,
but I find myself without the much needed enthusiasm...

Watching Manny's boxing, I imagine myself in his shoes, trying to fight off
laziness, boredom, self-pity and many other unwanted thoughts...

I really wish I could box my way to victory, against all odds,
including my biggest opponent... myself.
