Transformers

This may be untimely catchy as a title. But just like a harvest, today is this article’s due season. It matured nothing because of popularity.


I haven’t watched “Transformers” in the wide screen but I was an addict viewer of its animated series when I was a kid.


It is untimely but somewhat relevant, so to say, because like in the movie a “transformer” in me also happened in Qatar.


It doesn’t appear as easy when Optimus Prime commands, “Autobots, transform!” and every one in his team follows. But the challenge may be in some ways similar. Because in the compelling voice of their leader implies an approaching engagement to a great battle. Nobody would be exempted in the battle— not Bumble Bee and Jazz who expressed that they are not warriors like the Deceptecons.


It’s frightening to follow but it’s securing to give up one’s fear for a noble reason and with a leader that stands by your side.


Transforming pre-requires the frequently unwanted process of deforming. Transforming is ugly and painful. Much about you that has become thru the years will just be proven off beam. You’ll be offended by the fact that you were wrong for such a long time. Besides the heartrending process of refreshing your mistakes you also proceed to a really painful melting, bending, breaking, chopping of your indurate character.


In Qatar I have learned to listen more to the voice who calls for transformation. Many times he has spoken in my conscience to gear up and go. He has deputized so many Optimus Prime’s in my life—my mom, my sister, my friends, my girlfriend and the many circumstances in my life– that have led me to do what is uneasy but right.


Transform!

Hopeful

It woke me up with the silly feeling that I will be seeing you again soon. Forgive me for using the word ‘silly’ because I don’t have any logical means to make it happen without putting you to a ton of pains. How long has it been now? I hope you have not been counting, because I haven't. If time lost is time I owe you-- I will forever be indebted. Let me pay you in love when we meet again. Though I can never pay you enough, I promise, I’ll pay you as immensely as possible.  I’ll also pay you by not hurting the people you love and by waiting for the right time.  When we meet again, you can charge me for all my shortcomings. I’ll pay you with my two ears so that I can listen to things you’ve been wanting to tell me. I’ll pay you with my two arms ready to embrace you.  When we meet again, I’ll pay you with all the remaining time of my life. And I'll keep paying you until my heart beats its last. When you see me and you burst into tears, please hide your face on my chest beca...

Little Big

When I grow up I want to be a little boy.

The BIG Thing

Let’s talk about BIG things! The feature which is most obvoius with Cef are his BIG eyeswhich can see the BIG and tiny things a friend does… I’ll speak for myself and for my noise-partner G2... G1 and G2 have been this big-eyed gentleman’s constant burden for the past months (and will still be in the coming days). Our noise, annoyance and troubles have added weight to his works and personal burdens. We knew it so well that oftentimes we caused him to blow his top… and consequently almost blew up our faces… he he he he! His BIG voice Now that is real speech power! “The word of the word” “Iz et? …are just two of the signatures of this young Dan Rather. Really… it’s like watching “CBS main news” live right in front of you every time you hear him speak… But, to G1 & G2 it’s more than the modulation and volume of his voice—it’s about giving his best in everything he does… Besides, that BIG voice is the very same voice that speaks for us to advocate our welfare.
