“If I go robbing a house...”

It was a heavy storm and , as usual, most of the streets of Manila were flooded – cars got stalled and need to be pushed. In this time of year, street people could at least have money to put in their pockets, by helping pushed the non-moving vehicles. A friend of mine had one time pushed a car, after a hard labor, according to him, he was just given 10 pesos; grasping the money, he felt like shouting to that guy.

As he related this incident to us he commented angrily, “Damn it! What is 10 pesos; it doesn't worth it; whereas, if I go robbing a house I can have hundreds of pesos plus a television.”

Problème - Masculine or Feminine ?

Looking back at those days when I was avidly learning the French language, at one point I was in doubt of the gender (all French nouns have gender) of the word "problem," spelled "problème" in French. Approaching my Belgian friend, I asked her if the word problème is a feminine noun, because French nouns ending in e are mostly feminine. I burst out laughing when she replied, "Elmo, do you think a problem is feminine?" Thinking it's just a joke, I checked the word in a French dictionary. You are correct, I said, still laughing.

This funny experience that I had, happened about a year ago, I was jobless and homeless. So, as usual I had my daily activity of going around in search of food. I went to " Q Mart ", a huge market here in Quezon city, Philippines. I picked up some vegetables from the trash and some fruits too. On my way home, it was raining already. But I was ready with it, I always have my umbrella. Then along the way, I saw some fruits that were scattered beside the road, which was coming from a luxurious fruit tree just beside the road. As a tramp I learned the value of food, whatever it is. So, I was there squatting on the ground, slowly picking up some of the fruits that were still good. For a few minutes, I wasn't aware that a passersby, two middle - aged women, were intently looking at what I was doing. As I realized that they were curious and symphatetic, ...

Are you still a college?

S ome people may never care what happen to your life; recently, however, at the age of 42 I met someone who did. It was drizzling that day when I went to a public library to use the free Internet access. I had been doing this, everyday, for about three months now. Before I could use the computer, I had to register first; after which the attendant would issue a card number of the computer I am going to use. There were student-trainees every now and then, but all of them didn't bother me at all at what I should have to write on the form. That day, however, was too different. Behind the desk, I saw a new face -- a young boy. Holding my card number, he seemed to be waiting when I would finish writing before handing it to me; so, I bent and was about to write. By now, he was already beside me, helping me in filling up the form. Pointing to a specific spot, he told me, "this is for your name. " After I had done writing my name, I was about to check the column for college when...
