The Giver, Book 1 of the Giver Quartet Series
The Giver, the 1994 Newbery Medal winner, has become one of the most influential novels of our time. The haunting story centers on twelve-year-old Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community.

Aki's Version of the Truth Hurts
I've been on-leave from work due to my recent gall bladder removal operation. For a couple of days, I have been spending quality time with my kids. Husband took a 2-week emergency leave as well to help me on my recovery . Those precious days we've been together as a complete family were like heaven. And today, that piece of heaven ended. Next week, I will be going back to work and my husband left for UAE today. It is a very sad moment for me and my kids. Tearfully heart-breaking...
As I was cramming to finish my reports (on a weekend), my second child, Inyaki(Aki) came up to me and asked a very interesting and painful question. He looked over the window, then asked,
Aki: Mom, why do parents go to work?
Me : So that they will have money to pay for all the dues Aki. Like the electricity, school, groceries and buy you the things you need. For Kuya and Majika...
Then, he looked at me and frowned as if he was not satisfied with my answer. In his little young heart and mind he reasoned dramatically:
Aki: No Mom, I think parents go to work so that they can be away from their kids. They don't want to take care of their kids.
I was really controlling the tears from falling, then I asked him something that he always agree with.
Me: Aki, do you want me to stop working?
Aki:(all smiles and gleefully grinning) Pleaaaase Mom!!!! So that I can ask you questions anytime, and hug you and play with you all day long.
I hugged him so tight then I cried so hard. Right before me is a blessing bigger than any career in the world. I have never felt so guilty in my life.
I have always directed my kids to be independent, exposed them to the cause and effect of their actions and to teaching them to be responsible with their own feelings.In his own capacity, a 5-year old boy so in touch with his feelings- I saw the fruits of my labor. It matters not how painful it was. But I needed it to shed light into my priorities.
As I try to teach my kids everything about life, my kids has taught me what life is all about.

Of relationship and +Cognitive Bias
Realizations are sometimes painful but I hate to refer to them as such. I would rather say, they are eye-openers, epiphanies, and enlightenment, but not close enough to Nirvana. I am writing now because, as often as I want to document them, i just can't get myself back to sleep. And it's exactly 5:38 AM PST
As always, I will not go into detail,but tonight I realized that the number of years you have in a relationship with your partner is
not directly proportional into how they perceived things in your perspective. If you think that the latter phrase sounds hazy enough, let us not forget why this Blog is named in such a way. (I always have the tendency to talk or even write gibberishly so please excuse me for that and if you can't stand it, don't read any further(disclaimer) because it is only going to get worse. )
Let's say, for example, that you have a good intention. There is always that significant tendency that your good intention is not channelled properly to your partner even if you have exhausted every possible means to convey it properly like you always do from past instances. It is as if it is back to zero all the time even if you have been spending time together for a decade. Now that is what I call frustration at its peak!! As in Mt Everest steepest peek! Why do this happen? It is a phenomenon called cognitive bias.
If you are able to read this post then you have Google at your fingertips as well, so spare me for defining it for you coz I am getting kinda sleepy already. *yawns* (bet you are yawning too huh?)
My point is, we should prepare ourselves and expect for getting these kind of frustrations all the time. It is a pessimistic view but it will essentially strengthen our defense mechanisms and leaves very little room for pain without so much drama and so much crying and so much facebook shoutout sad emoticons available flooding in our walls the whole day.
So there it goes, this is how I rant in style. I know it doesn't matter what I have to say. But I am just going to say it anyway. Harharhar... Its snoozing time for me... *big yawn* (picture me yawning and u will yawn too, gotcha!)
