“isang papuri ang tawagin na ‘baliw’
last night, i met this guy at grabe realizations ko. some people often call other people ‘baliw’ kapag may ginagawa itong kakaiba sa kinagisnan nila. ang dali nating humusga sa pagkatao ng isang tao base sa panlabas na anyo o may ginagawang hindi ‘normal’ para sa mata ng mga normal. but guess what? this man right here na itinuturing na ‘baliw’ ng karamihan is one of the most ‘full of wisdom’ people i’ve ever met. ang dami nyang kayang gawin. he can play guitar, flute, make handmade crafts, and etc. he is very creative. he even taught me how to make a bracelet out of beads. ang dami kong natutunan sa kanya. totoong tao kausap, tao ko sya kinausap. haha i just realized na mga ganitong enerhiya ang gusto kong mapalibutan ako, mga taong may matututunan ako. kung may kasing lawak ng kamalayan nya ang tinatawag na baliw then isang papuri ang tawagin na ‘baliw’.
edited: dati pala syang guro and got his master’s degree”
