Man, life has like, changed so drastically in just three months. It's almost as if I crossed into some strange alternate universe.
Wherever or whatever I am in, it feels...well...strange.
I feel this strange tingly feeling. Like the weight of the world has suddenly gotten lighter like I don't have a care in the world. For some reason, my grades are getting better too. I'm even having this strange intimacy with this very spectacular woman from school.
What really catches me off guard is that she's actually responding encouragingly to my romances.
I guess I'm just not used to being happy after almost three years of darkness...
Never to late to get used to it though...hehe

Family and State
Yours Truly, Paolo Baladad Monday, July 14, 2008
In a sense, an individual's perception of his nation is the same as his perception on his family. It's often difficult to compare a family member to other non-relatives. Although it is sometimes possible to form a criteria and somehow judge another person to be "better" than your relative, a certain bond will seem to compell you to choose your relatives over that person. In a sense, you would rather have a family member no matter how degenerate or of low character he may be simply because he is yours. Likewise, no matter how politically corrupt, economically recessive, or culturally backward one's country may be, an individual would tend to be loyal to his nation simply because it is his.
Call it nationalism...call it patriotism...I call it whatever...
