Why the Past? (Bakit ang Nakaraan?)

July 23, 2009, Thursday
Daly City

Why the PAST????? May kasabihan tayo sa Pilipinas that goes like this- " ANG HINDI LUMINGON SA PINANGGALINGAN, HINDI MAKAKARATING SA PAROROONAN.. I don't know if my transalation is right.. and this my " own" transalation- KNOW WHERE YOU CAME FROM.. TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING..

Ano ba ang mga MUSEUMS??? Di ba ang mga inilalagay doon yung mga artifacts.. written and in kind na mga costumes... etc. and etc.. In other words, HISTORY NG ISANG BANSA.. CULTURE or KULTURA ng isang nation or bansa..The past week nagpunta kami ng " tribo" Gonzalez, ( mga anak ko siyempre sila!!
SA ' SAMURAI." At may kasama kaming mga " dear friends nila from Guam.. Si Timothy Trotter, a 34- year old black man ( parang si Obama.. His dad is black.. His mom is a white woman.) and si Dedeth, co-teacher nila sa Guam, nag-aaral ngayon sa Sanfo..may pinag-aaralan siya na subject- that would be needed sa pagtuturo niya pagbalik sa Guam, this school year.

We went to the ASIAN MUSEUM.. siyempre pag Asia, sakop ang Chinese, Korean, Hindu, Japanese culture..( depende which part of the globe, di ba??) What is in there sa museum?? MGA ARTIFACTS.. USED FOR EVERY DAY LIVING LIKE PLATES.. MUGS, KNIVES, etc.. MGA DAMIT.. for every day wear.. for social gatherings.. for BATTLES.. against their enemies.. armors - that is..I am sure that the older people who will have the time and patience to read this note - alam naman ito, eh.. Puera na lang kung hindi nila " type." Ha ha ha!!! I did mention to Amor when we were viewing the stuff doon sa museum na " ANILA ITOng PINAKA-COMPREHENSIVE and pinakamakapal na book na nakita ko in all my local travels, nakita ko sa Laguna, when we visited you.. It was about CHINA..I would have wanted to read it, pero we just stayed overnight, so there was not much time..and Amor was living for Guam the next day with her daughter, Alissa.

So when you look deeper, sa mga nakikita mo sa mga museum.. you get a glimpse of WHO THEY ARE.. WHAT THEY BELIEVED IN.their beliefs and most especially how they perceive God.. most times they already have " named' them..But this much I have learned in life, in all my 65 years here on this " BLUE PLANET EARTH - this is what the Apollo team- the " moon-walkers" called it!), this much I have learned.. Tama si RICK wARREN, WHEN HE SAID.. everything begins and ends with GOD. That it is not about us.. it is about GOD.. iiT IS WRITTEN - It is written in Ecclesiastes 3:11- HE HAS MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME.HE HAS ALSO SET ETERNITY IN THE HEARTS OF MEN; YET THEY CANNOT FATHOM WHAT GOD HAS DONE FROM BEGINNING TO END... My dear Victoria... FATHOM.. in simple words.. MAINTINDIHAN...Basing from what we are " seeing" now, all around us.. NAIINTINDIHAN na ba nila, humankind ANG gustong sabihin NG DIYOS??? Bakit??? AYAW NILANG INTINDIHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KASE ANG KAISIPAN NG MARAMING TAO, SILA AY GOD!!!! In my mind, when we were moving around..grabe.. ang gaganda ng mga gamiit nila.. colorfully and elaborately done..Then naisip ko.. Lord... matatapos din ang time namin here on earth.. ISANG ARAW- LAHAT NG CELLPHONES, IMAX, MULTIPLY, FB.. LAHAT NG NAIMBENTO.. at IIMBENTUHIN pa ngaPA ng HUMANKIND.. ISANG ARAW-- ME MGA TAO RIN NA ISESET UP SI LORD SA PANAHON NIYA- AT LAHAT YUN- ilalagay na naman sa mga museums!!!! At pini-picture ko na sa mind ko- ha ha ha!!! NAKAKALAT NA ang mga MGA SPACESHIPS, ang nag-aaway na at naghahabullan sa kalye eh , mga ROBOTS !!!! ANO PA KAYA ANG HINDI MAGAGAWA NG TAO???????? Sabagay, hindi kaya ngayon, just like the time God was conceiving in His mind to create all that has been said.. and written in the Bible..HINIHINTAY NA LANG YUNG " GO" SIGNAL na " MY FATHER.. IS THIS - " THE TIME????? Sabagay, years back, sa Pilipinas, may isa ng song na nagawa to justify lahat ng ginagawa ng tao na mali, eh.." SAPAGKAT KAMI AY TAO LAMANG".. di ba ang singer nito si Ric Manrique??? He was a man much ahead of his time..
