When It Comes To Love, It'll Be Always Your Choice

I borrow this line from a t-shirt that my Malaysian friend is selling to raise funds for his organization named Choice.


The message of the design is that in love, anything is possible and that love is unbounded by anything including language, beliefs, race, nationality, or even religion. The boundaries are represented by the differences between the pig and the chicken and that love can make any person cross such boundaries, which resulted in the "pig-chick" at the back of the shirt.

A good example of this is the wedding reception I attended earlier today. The groom is a high school classmate who I think is the most faithfully-aligned among the boys in our class. He even attended the 1997 World Youth Day in Manila and that he had traveled before to the Vatican. Given his background, I don't believe that his family gave him a simple nod when he asked for their blessing to marry a Muslim girl whom he fell in love with after years of working in Singapore. He had to convince them of the love he's experiencing and why he's willing to convert to Islam and take the big change in order to be with the one he loves. Indeed, love knows no boundaries.


After enjoying a completely halal banquet and chatting with the other guests, we had to sibat or what we colloquially term as "Eat and Run".

I was with another high school classmate and before we parted ways, we stopped by a food court and had a couple bottles of Guinness while catching up.


On the bus ride to home, I overheard a pair of college girls who were talking in Tagalog with a mix of English but strangely in the fast Singlish accent. I'd like to call this new language "Singalog" or "Singsilog" in honor of the traditional Filipino breakfast and it's going to mean "Singlish na Sinamahan ng Tagalog".

  1. Hey there,


    First and foremost, I happened to chance upon your blog via the Nuffnang Ad Exchange program and I realised that your blog is truly awesome!



    Hence, if you don't mind, I will like to propose a really beneficial deal which goes like this,



    I will visit your blog whenever I see an advertisement on my own blog and then I will click on the advertisement if there happens to be one on your blog.


    You might be thinking, “How am I sure that this guy is going to click on the advertisements for me?” Well, simple, nuffnang has this program called Community *NEW* which is right below the Analytics under Referrals. You can go check it out frequently to make sure that I have visited your blog promptly.


    Then you might be thinking, “So what? He can visit my blog but it still does not prove that he has been clicking on the advertisements.”


    Yes, I totally understand where you guys are coming from. But, rest assured I will not be so selfish that I visit your blog merely to save myself in your list. Clicking on the advertisements takes me less than 2 seconds and I do not suffer any loss at all by doing that. So, I swear to you, mark my words that I will click on your ads consistently throughout the month. As far as possible, I will do my best to visit your blog at least twice a week!

    Let's say I click on your ad once a week, you will a minimum of an additional 80cents per month. But if I click on it on other computers whenever the chance arises, you will definitely earn more than that!


    By the way, my own personal blog is at bizybay.blogspot.com



    So, what do you say? Would you like to collaborate with me on this project as well whereby we visit each other's blog and click on the ad for each other whenever we see the opportunity?


    It will be great if you can follow me on my blog!!! That will make it easier for you too.


    P.S. Do let you friends know about the blog if you like it! Thanks a gazillion! Appreciate it deeply from my heart!!!


    Regards,
