Where’s the Superman of my life?

The movie Superman Returns was a hit, and sure Brandon Routh was a hunksome, but something suddenly creeped into my thoughts while I was admiring the wax-manequine-like appearance of Superman in the movie. Is there a Superman in each people’s lives?

Superman is a superhero who has incredible Strength - Clark is among the strongest superheroes on Earth, capable of lifting a plane; ability to Fly - able to defy gravity, possibly through sheer force of will; Invulnerability - years of exposure to yellow solar energy have caused Clark's Kryptonian body to become almost indestructible. His natural bio-electric aura also has limited force field properties protecting items near his skin e.g. his costume. His cape is not protected by his aura; has Super-speed - capable of superhuman speed, Clark can fly from Metropolis to have dinner with Lois Lane in Paris, France, or in a few minutes fly to the Moon; Super-breath - Clark's invulnerability and strength exist internally too, affecting his skeleton and internal organs. After inhaling deeply he can expel the air in a gale-force wind; Super-hearing - Capable of blocking out and discerning a single known voice within a city; Super-Vision -

Clark can detect electromagnetic energy in more than the normal visible spectrum:
-X-Ray vision - lead appears opaque
-IR vision
-Microscopic
-Telescopic
-Lastly, Heat Vision - additionally,

Clark can release solar energy in the form of Heat Vision as a weapon.
Kal-El is practically invincible, n times stronger than John Cena or Triple H, but he does have a weak point- that is whenever he comes near to kryptonite. It looks like a green glowing rock and is very hazardous to Superman. If exposed to kryptonite,
Clark
will experience pain and rapidly lose his powers. If exposed for much more than an hour he would die. If suffering kryptonite poisoning,

Clark can recover if he gets away from the kryptonite. Does this mean he isn’t so super at all? Negative. It just signifies that he has imperfections as well, something does make him feel weak, but he definitely possesses super abilities way beyond our reach.

Going back to my question earlier, does a superman exist in my life, in yours, or in everyone’s lives? A superman whom we could count on, a superman we could hold on to in times when disaster strikes in our lives, someone so strong that he lifts us up whenever we feel weak, and a soul that does feel weak and at times would need our comfort too?

He maybe invisible to us, his presence unknown, and his existence unappreciated; his moves subtle, his actions unnoticed and his loving kindness overlooked. The mystery now is ‘who is the superman of my life? Who is the superman of your life?’ He could just be your friend right by your side all these years, or your father or mother who unconditionally loves you and supports you in every step you take, or even your hated brother or sister who’d tease you but in truth loves you so much.

What I’m really stressing at is, superman does exist, in the form of someone near you, maybe invisible, his presence unknown, whose existence is unappreciated, actions unnoticed and loving kindness overlooked. Don’t let each moment pass you by without recognizing your “superman’s” good deeds- loving perseveringly and caring un-endlessly. Love him back, it’s the least you could do.

Wise words of Confusion

The preliminary exam for our Spanish class was to sing a Spanish song…quite easy if you ask me, the problem though is…I HATE SINGING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE!!! Of course I do sing, heck, I looove music! Without music in my life, it would just make my mundane living a lot worse. But a big BUT here, loving music and a talent for singing doesn’t come in an equation like . Do you see my point? Now that I’ve laid down my concern, well I’ve got another one, why do teachers even consider projects/exams that only showcases one talent for the entire group? Don’t they know that not all homosapiens are capable of singing, and that not all are gifted with the ability to control the vocal cords well? Because some of us aren’t good in singing and instead are good in something else…like writing per say, or doing props for the act, or..or…what the hell! There are a number of gifts and talents out there not just singing, do I need to reiterate this to an adult or any professor?

Each person is unique and possess a certain ability or skill, not all are blessed with the same one…It’s just like ABC for a professor…why don’t some of them know this?

Cebu, the beach...the people most esp...

Cebu is such a lovely place, ...they have less traffic, delicious dried mangoes, clean malls and beautiful beaches. (^_^)

One eye-catching lodging place is the Waterfront Hotel in Lahug. it's castle-like features sets it apart from the other hotels in the city. In the lobby's high ceiling are mural-esque paintings depicting history and influences to the Philippine history.

Abundant beaches are just an hour drive from the heart of the city...

Aside from the beautiful summery city,(because i've only been there during summers), are the hospitable and warm cebuanos and cebuanas with their fun to listen tones when they speak "bisaya".

I love the place not only because my mother side relatives resides in the city, but because it truly is a fascinating asset of the Pearl of the Orient.

At the Mactan Airport, it felt so lonely and sad having to leave the city after the summer season, good thing I was with my 2 other cousins, my mom and my aunts. We were all going back to reality, in a place called Manila...
