*acknowledge the new skin first..hehe*


It is only when in throwing mud at people that i find myself in a writing mode. I do not wish to retract whatever it is published here for those words don't belong to me anymore. They are now literal possessions of the cyber-livion space.

I should be making money out of what i do best and what i spend most of my time on, i always say.. so from this blog entry on, i renounce my personal ranting privilege to better, more productive blog entries (and hope for, let's say, a job in blog writing!)

okay, scratch that. i honestly can't live a day without ranting..

This morning, i was ransacking the newspaper searching for jessica zafra's column emotional weather report then i realized- it's a saturday. so, i just burrowed with what's left of the inky pages. "Be careful with words", according to Francis Kong. An article which caught my senses off- guard. here's a bite..

A businesswoman took her newborn to the pediatrician for his first checkup, the doctor said, "you have a cute baby."

Smiling, she said, "I'll bet you say that to all new parents."

"No," he replied, "just to those whose babies are really cute."

"So what do you say to the others?" she asked. The doctor said, "When i can't say you have a cute baby, i just say.. He looks just like you."


hehehe

I've had my fair share of slanders, and to tell you- it's no circus parade but it can be scandalous! It is a universal fact that one cannot control other people's minds, more so their mouthes! but though we have no joysticks for rocketing words of others, we have complete controls of our own. it's difficult when emotions creep in. we tend to cause social damage only with the use of tongues.

always, we have to be careful of words. being tactful of what we let out of our mouth is a virtue and that a major part of self-control is tongue-control. we must all remember that words are powerful. after all, "word" is just one letter away from "sword."
