Stories covered this week were "the Mats" and "Divide by Two" by Francisco Arcellana.
OK to be honest I was neither amazed or bored with these as part of me wanted to know if Filipinos during the pre-war era were of the sort but then again I come to constant realizations that these traits happens to nearly everyone so i guess the era has practically nothing to do with this. But also I do not think this only applies to Filipinos cause any good father in the world would provide for the entire family until a certain point. I do not see how this behavior was only related to Filipinos in the class discussion. Any Dad in the world misses their family no matter what lest they the fathers just accidentally impregnated someone they don't know and has a serious lack of moral's then they'd care less.
Now for the story of "Divide by Two" it was incredibly difficult for me to relate lest write about it since Im such a noob when it comes to relationships. Yes I know many out there will not believe a 25 year old who claims never had one since birth, well I gotta tell you folks now! BELIEVE IT! And believe me when I say I don't really know what my thoughts are about that. And believe me it is also not because Im lazy to do blogs as most of you guys can see. Regardless one thing about that story though is it really shows how complex being in a relationship is and yes at some point I begin thinking when I'll find the woman I like but normally reality strikes me to practically accept I'm not ready for that kind of responsibility as I'm already having enough trouble looking after my own. And frankly high context communication though maybe good at some point, these days it just creates more elitists who practically pose to be smarter and emotionally strong like they can read minds but instead become useless folk. Its normally taken even the wrong way by most and these people who promote higher context use it against others instead of helping them.
Kinda explains why break-ups happen much more often doesn't it? Nearly any smart-ass is trying to show who's got the guts but in the end become nothing more than stuck-ups which is why in the end of the story they even had no idea of what they were fighting for.:D

truly, we are living in a patriarchal world, and a father cannot be a father if he's not able to sustain the needs of his family; clothing, shelter, food, money and paternal care. these stuffs, especially the last one, makes a person, a real person.
