like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

shemale and gay?

i just attended my friend's sweet 17 party, Rena, at Peninsula Hotel.

we laughed a lot there. with a lot of jokes from the MCs, CiPan and Owen. They were humorous yet "pervert" (this one just for Owen), with his "gay" performance. He kissed some of the boy candles and they were like having a horrible face because of fright. it was so funny.

next performance was by...... shemales. honestly, i was so shocked. they danced, "stripteased", came to the boys and chased them! my friends were just like chased by ghost! funny. me? i did quite afraid they would come to me. fortunately, they didn't; meanwhile my friends on my left, right, in front, and behind me got it :P.

but, my point is not at how fun it was looking at my friends chased by those shemales. my point is: should be deserted those men who have those "abnormality"?

most of us are disgusted by their act, because either they are shemale or gay. or both. we desert them and don't want to get near them. what i am try to say is: is it their fault? being a shemale or gay? is it wrong being a shemale and gay?

well. my uncle who i respect a lot asked me this: "is there any right or wrong in this world? who can say it right or wrong? and who make it right or wrong?" then i thought: yes. there's no right or wrong. every law saying whether it is right or wrong is made by humans. we don't even know whether the laws telling the right one. who can state it? no one. it is our man-made. (well. for people who believes in God will say it is what God says. but i am trying to tell the universal way. We don't know if the God we believe in is right or wrong, tho. we will know it in the end of the world.)

my uncle asked me again to make clear how we should not judge either shemale or gay is wrong: "who make the law: a man should be a macho and a woman should be a femimn? human, isn't it?" yes, it is human. "and, does human's laws are always right?" no. like whay i said before, we don't even know if the law is right. "therefore, is their fault being like that?"

then, why do we desert them? it's not their fault. they don't want to be born like that, either. so, i think we should respect them. respect the way they are.

honestly, i did really appreciate them because they were so brave to show who they are confidently. even if we ran away from them when they approached. :)
