Escape From Crete

"Icarus' father, Daedalus, a talented and remarkable Athenian craftsman, attempted to escape from his exile in the place of Crete, where he and his son were imprisoned at the hands of King Minos, the king for whom he had built the Labyrinth to imprison the Minotaur (half man, half bull). Daedalus, the superior craftsman, was exiled because he gave Minos' daughter, Ariadne, a clew of string in order to help Theseus, the enemy of Minos, survive the Labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur.

Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son. Before they took off from the island, Daedalus warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, nor too close to the sea. Overcome by the giddiness that flying lent him, Icarus soared through the sky curiously, but in the process he came too close to the sun, which melted the wax. Icarus kept flapping his wings but soon realized that he had no feathers left and that he was only flapping his bare arms. And so, Icarus fell into the sea in the area which bears his name, the Icarian Sea near Icaria, an island southwest of Samos.

Hellenistic writers who gave philosophical knowledge underpinnings to the myth also preferred more realistic variants, in which the escape from Crete was actually by boat, provided by Pasiphaë, for which Daedalus invented the first sails, to outstrip Minos' pursuing galleys, and that Icarus fell overboard on route to Sicily and drowned. Heracles erected a tomb for him."

The Reason I Did Not Let Go Of My Hat...

OK, here's the story kung bakit di ko kayang mawala yung bonet na bigay ni Julius:

April 4 08 - Despedida namin sa lugar invited si Julius. He gave me a camo cap as departing gift (bait ng bHezt ko shet! walang kapalit promise!!!) Nung nasa Canada na kami, naalala ko nalang na naiwanan ko ang cap sa house.... that was my greatest regret talaga (except ung isa dian). October yata yun, nakuha ko ulit yung hat ko kasama sa mga padala galing Pinas.....

YEHEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Promise ko talaga since na hindi ko na ulit iwanan toh.


April 29 09 - Hindi pala iiwanan ha... Naiwanan ko yung hat ko sa plane. Ang laki ng worry ko nun. Basang-basa ang mata ko papuntang house namin... (skip na natin yung vacation details...). Before the day na babalik na kami ulet ng Canada, Binigyan ako ni Julius ng bagong head gear: BONET!!! (Inamin ko naman po sa kanya na nawala ko noh.. ). Tears of joy, di ko mapigilan. Now talaga, my promise ay di ko na sisirain.

Oct 9 09 - Galaan ng barkada sa downtown... Nung uwian na, nakita kong di ko dala yung bag ko. Nung una hindi ko naman talaga dapat babalikan... BUT MY BONET IS THERE!!!! Bumalik ako agad sa lugar. I broke the promise once, & i will never broke it again. Mga 9 skytrain stations at 1 seabus siguro ang layo ko sa location ng bag ko pero babalikan ko ito promise!!!!

Siguro it took me 35 minutes para lang makarating ako before seabus at 15 min seabus trip. Pagkababa ko ng seabus, takbo ako agad sa park na napag-iwanan ko. Kahit ang sakit na ng tummy ko dahil kakatapos ko lang kumain, sige pa rin ako. And guess what? ITS THERE!!!! It was a big relief na safe ang Bonet ko (yes, ang bonet, hindi ang bag). The night was good, at tanaw na tanaw pa ang sunset. I looked at the bay, and i saw a figure sufacing, and went back to water. A whale? Parang biniyayaan talaga ako ni God noh? They gave me a nice ending for a nice story.

So this is for everyone that thinks friendship is important:

KUNG MAY IBINIGAY SA INYONG REMEMBRANCE, TREASURE IT...
KUNG MAWALA ITO, RETRACE YOUR MIND AND SEE KUNG SAN MO NAIWANAN... BAKA MABALIKAN MOH PA.. KUNG HINDI MO NA TALAGA MAKITA, WELL, CONFESS TO YOUR FRIEND, ITS NOT BAD TO SAY SORRY. ^^

My Opinion Why Jesus Dont Have History Records...

OK... So napag isip-isip ko lang to kanina habang nasa simbahan kami. The day's gospel was about is it a sin to be anulled. Pero may nabasa ako about why si Jesus ay nagkatawang tao. Then dito na nagsimula yung thought ko.


Now this is my opinion why I think Jesus dont have any personal history records, like related family members or cousins, etc. and written history ( well, except bibles ). Because if Jesus would have personal records, then he wouldn't be a Lord, he will just be "some guy from the past who preach people and became a hero". He would just be one of the legendary guys katulad nila Gandhi, Confucious, Rizal, etc.


Kahit na sabihin pa nating Jesus was born at YR. 0 (in the middle of B.C at A.D), we dont have much historical information about him, pero mas OK nang ganun diba? Kasi, we wouldn't be what we are today. Christianity would be denied right? Because He was the one who lead us here. Earth would have been a wrong place kung hindi dahil sa preachings niya. Siguro puno ng mga masasamang tao ang mundo and maybe hindi aabot ang Earth ng 21st century.


See? Even though some say God and Jesus dont exist, they still made a contribution to the world's history. I dont say that They're the beggining and the end pero it's just wonderful to know that They are not from history. Kasi, di tulad ng mga bayani, naalala man, nakakalimutan pa rin. But the Lords are always by your side, kahit na di mo sila kilala or you dont believe in them, They're always there, in times of need and in happiness, EVERYTIME, so be thankful to know that Jesus is not from World history. =3
