not a CAT woman

I got bitten by an overweight hairball cat 2 days ago. I couldn’t walk or let alone sit properly without crying out for help, after I took anti rabies, PCEC and ERIG B (w/c came from horses…yeeeehaaa!) shots. Took 5 shots on that unfortunate Friday afternoon, and missed school, thankfully, my friends (vonne and cat) willingly accompanied me to San Lazaro (to the shock and dismay of my dade). 5 shots!!! Me, having a traumatic experience with needles back when I was little. ( I got terribly sick. it was like leukemia…it had all the signs of leukemia…I was black and blue all over… but it wasn’t leukemia...) anyways, having been through those scary, dark ages of my life, I never thought I could take in 5 shots…but I did! (Proud…but won’t ever do it again!...well if it’s a matter of life and death…of course I would probably take another shot.) well, having bitten by a cat inside UST… I came to me…why are there freakin’ cats in our campus??? Huh??? Not just any common house cats that are usually cleaner than those big hunter vagabond cats in uste! Eek! Fr. Rector dear, please kindly act on this. (thank you very much) hehe

After the 5 shots, I never returned to the (vet…hehe)…to the hospital to have the follow-up shots. My dade didn’t want me to go to San Lazaro. I didn’t go to the anti- rabies clinic referred to us by a family friend either. To my disappointment, I did not mutate to become “cat woman” what if I haven’t taken the shots in the first place??? What would happen?… Would I go loco or worst… be dead??

I never did like animals…cat being one of them. I used to play tricks on miming (dade’s house cat) when she was alive. (I did not kill the cat ok? Hehe) I would ran after and beat her to the point of exhaustion whenever she steals food from the kitchen or the dining table. I’m more of a dog person...but don’t push it. Dogs are loyal, subservient and affectionate. Like what the documentary I watched in discovery channel, they evolved from the family of wolves, and helped in the development of human civilization. Because of them, men were able to do other things other than guarding their territories from wild predators. Men were able to socialize with other people, developed the arts and culture without worrying about their homes. Ergo, those lead to the development of mankind. They protect you from harm, and defend you from attackers. That’s why dogs are tagged as mans' best friends.

Cats in general, is totally different story. They’re not loyal and completely reject to follow orders, not affectionate and it’s in there nature to claim territories. That’s why, when they cuddle next to you, don’t think that they love you, they’re merely claiming you as their territory (hmm…is this the same as to what we Filipinos think of our ka-relasyon? hehe)...it's a manifestation that they're trying to own you... they’re the same man-eating predators as the tigers, leopard and cheetah, only smaller and therefore cuter. But no matter how cute they may seem, they will never stop being hunters and killers until the end of time. Cats are hardcore: they’ve never bothered to alter their character. Expect that when it plays with other cats, it’s always war games.

For those cat lovers out there… *ahem*

“You don’t tame a cat, you form an alliance with it. In return they let you live”

-J. Zafra


I was thinking…

Are cats the same as women? Hehe…

Caleruega...my sanctuary

I Just got back form our incredibly enlightening retreat from Caleruaga, Batangas. You should see the place… it’s where you can definitely reflect about your situation in life or just anything. You can just really feel the love of God through his creation… Caleruega IS breathtaking. It’s so amazing how it feels to be near Him… through nature.
The feeling of seeing the wonders of Gods creation made me feel so lucky to be alive…


After confession on the last day of the retreat, I wanted to break free from the anger that I’ve been keeping for quite sometime now… I wanted to run away... wanted to shout my head off from the pain that has been eating me up inside…to hell with everybody, that’s what I thought. I didn’t care. For that moment, I just stopped caring about what people thought of me… I did what I wanted to do….I scampered away…

I found myself sitting on a bench near the hidden chapel away from our group. I cried… cried like a baby… I felt like exploding…
I thought I was all alone...
But the funny thing was, some guy from the staff followed and came to check on me. He asked if I was alright. (and I was touched) somehow, the feeling of loneliness was alleviated … I felt that in some way, I was important… somebody did care.in the mean time, while I was gone, my friends, was also looking for me… which of course, made me happy. After knowing that!... Pinataba nila ang puso ko.
Back to the hidden chapel, I wiped away my tears… contemplated on what just happened… and saw the view from where I was sitting. Then I hit me…it’s like God spoke to me thru his creation. I’ve realized how lucky I am to be there, to see that magnificent view. Upon seeing that…I felt calmness, serenity, solitude, and peace… and as the wind blew, I knew it was God keeping me company, telling me that I WAS NEVER and WILL NOT BE ALONE. For the first time in years…I felt fortunate to be alive. Days, months, or even years from now, whenever the time comes that I’d feel down…I’ll just remember that feeling of calmness, serenity, solitude and peace that spectacular view which symbolized the love of God…and I’d feel fine.
