At work, one of the service writers called me square. I don't know if it's a compliment or not. If that means I can't do no wrong, I am one sometimes. But, all I know is I'm straight--more of a straight to the right. That's because I think straight and I think right. I may not look or act like one, but, I know what is right and wrong. I wasn't this way before--in my adolescence, I found it hard a make small decisions, like buying a pair of pants or a pair of shoes. So much so that after high school, I still was undecided on what course to take up in college.
But, after moving here, I got expose to different people, different cultures and their different ways of thinking, it widen my knowledge of how to act or how to talk--and that is to be always good and right. I may be "tinotoyo or may sumpong sometimes, but, that is something else. And I can be that way because I know I am right, but, others don't see it that way. And there are many people who have no true sense of what is right and what is wrong. These are the crooked who are mishapen in life. They go through life thinking others should let him have his way- their bad ways and bad thinking.
Which led me to mention this instance-again, it happened at work. I was just doing my work, efficient, I thought--putting aside those tag numbers, while others would just throw them after the car is picked-up. For I know from past experiences that there are times that it IS needed for reference. I was surprised when another service writer said to me:"You're crazy!" Being the good-natured and non-violent person that I am, I just smiled at him and just kept quiet. But, deep inside I wanted o say to him:"You ignoramus, Walrus! I may not be cool always, but, I am always square--if that's the term you want to call me. I may not say what I'm thinking, but, I understand them, rightly so. So, what shape are you?

i guess i'm .. um.. well, i don't know.. abstract i suppose..hehehe.. but my body is in great shape! someone said so! bwahaha...
about those people who don't care about others.. i know a thing or two about them..
many said the same thing about me when I first started working at the insurance agency~ they thought I was crazy for being so organized and working so hard here...but you know those people that thought I was crazy no longer work here (they were let go a few years back) Now I've been here for 5 years and my boss treats me with respect (he says I'm like his sister) and that I will ALWAYS have a job here with his company for as long as I want~ So Diko, as they say, don't mind those who don't matter, and those who matter don't mind~ For a "square" guy, you are actually well rounded, bwahaha! and as long as you are honest...in the end you will always win fair and "square" bwahahaha! corny eh?
jon: abstract as in different shapes. whatever shape you are, the important thing that real matter is that you have a happy and a good heart. from which you do only what is right.
belle: amen to all you wrote. no wonder you are my sister. i don't consider myself well-rounded, maybe just around the waist! hehehe. but, years ago one of Daddy's friend, who's somewhat of a fortune teller, at the church predicted i'll be an open-minded person someday. imagine me as an open or often square man. although, we used to joke gino that i was really a BADING before I met his Mom. he would answer: "That's not true!" LOL!
