Fats, Vitamins and Minerals

As a kid, I would go around shouting “walang magawa!” throughout the summer, when school is out. Having nothing to do drove me to a tantrum. I would never forget what my father told me, “puros ka ganyan, kapag mag-asawa ka, ang bilis mong magsasawa!”

I wonder if his observation was true. Certainly I bore very easily, I get tired of things very easily and I want results very quickly. Talk about patience. The more I understand now why it is a virtue.

Maybe this is why I work so quickly, so passionately, once I have found that which I find exciting to do. And those that bore me can be easily left unattended, including those that used to be exciting. Why?

Perhaps I don’t have much time, in this life, perhaps time comes in very limited supply. Especially now that I am older - I may not be shouting “walang magawa!” but I feel tired, rather bored of all the things that life has brought me.

So maybe this is why I try to find new pleasures in old things, and try to find excitement in simple things, and try to keep believing in promises and in change. But even trying is getting to be exhausting now. And once tired, rest and then move on, move on to other things…
