mission

I was “channel hopping” when I chance upon  “Jillian Namamasko Po“, a television show from the Kapuso network in the Philippines last December 2010. Jillian is a doll who wishes to become a full-fledged human being. In order to attain this, she needs to fulfill “assigned” missions. The twists:

  • she needs to figure out what that mission is
  • she will only be directed to another mission once the current mission is already accomplished

It struck me that Jillian symbolizes every one of us. Aspirations can be achieved either:

  • smoothly or
  • we need to pass through the eye of a needle before attaining it or
  • no matter how we exert all our effort, it will be futile.

I remember in my first job, I was at the school director’s office every year to submit my resignation letter. Teaching is a noble profession but I wanted to re-align my career path be a software developer… but I can’t seem to “break free”. It’s only on the 3rd year that I was able to get out from it and magically landed on another job… which is teaching. Long story…

Relationship wise, I met someone whom I treasured dearly and was looking forward to spend the rest of my life with… then again, no matter how we did our best to keep the fire burning and  work things out, we kept going back to square one. It’s a vicious cycle that drained the hell out of me (and him).

Relationship, work related issues, and friendship may come and go no matter you hold on. Acceptance and pain might be tough but in due time, a new  relationship will blossom, a new job can be found, and a new friendship will be formed. However, health condition and family matters cannot be replaced and it should be treasured like a delicate figurine.

Every stages and experiences are all necessary in order for us to become diamonds in our own right. We may not understand the reasons now, but the dots will be connected when the right time comes. Let’s fulfill our designated missions with open heart and open mind as well as forget the “what if”  and “should have been” part.

As they say… is it mission impossible or mission possible?  Aja!

Melason (coined word from the names, Melanie and Jason) is a hot topic in the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) because of their unconventional characteristics in the Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) reality show. Still, it didn’t trigger any interest on my part because I prefer shows from the Kapuso network (GMA 7) over Kapamilya (ABS-CBN). :p

However, when Ram and Betha Joy persuaded me to watch the PBB Big Night (kinda the culmination of the reality show and announcement of the winner) with them… I finally got curious about the Melason mania and the doll named “Dengue”.

From then on, YouTube is my source for Melason updates. Watching Melason banter is definitely refreshing and stress reliever. I haven’t been like this since the Boys Over Flowers fever.

In my point of view, people love Melason because they keep it real and their chemistry is absolutely genuine. No pretensions. No unnecessary drama. Also, they don’t give a damn to what other people say. 😉

Melason inspires us that despite being “us” with all the flaws, there’s one person in the universe who will accept and love us as we are. Melason brings hope to people who are seeking for love and acceptance.

They’re a concrete example that we don’t need to find love because love will find us.;)
I pray that Melason will be forever and will bring forth a real baby “Dengue” followed by their next offspring, baby “Malaria”.

Of course, the first person who will be so ecstatic when they finally tie the knot is BIG BROTHER! Who knows, finally, we will get to see him because of Melason. Let’s wait and see.:D
