Rain
A rainy day today! At least Cebu's temperature is lowering for a change. And I'm not the type to say, but I am bored! So going and hanging out with friends beats staying home playing Sims all day.
So Mikko came and picked me and Hazel up, then we went to McDonald's Escario. Purpose actually was- for Nikko to recruit Mikko to some networking thing called UNO.
That's a bad view I say.. Haha.
Myself, Hazel and Mikko in such a blur.
Here's the pimp, Nikko.. who is still such a blur.
The principle of networking is very familiar. The environment is very much like spreading the gospel to your friends. Haha.
It's more sneaky, however.
UNO is located uptown, with a coffee shop directly beside it, and Jollibee which is a stone's throw away. People from UNO have to bring you directly to this main office to recruit you, and of course, they know many people will be reluctant.
So, then, they would have to use technique!! A classmate tried to recruit me by asking me, "Hey, wanna hang out have some coffee in Gloria Jeans?" in which hopefully if I agree he would then bring me to UNO leaving me no choice. Good one, but no, if I have coffee bring me somewhere familiar like SM or something.
Anyway, about the sharing the gospel thing, yes. They have this booklet thing, and then they oriented us with all the products, blah blah, very much like showing someone an E-Cube, speaking of how Jesus died on the cross to save us our sin.
Then they talk about all the benefits, they show the numbers, all the maths, proving if you join this thing, then it's a win-win situation. Gospel version: Accept Jesus Christ's gift of life, and you shall have eternal life.
They testify, "Oh before I joined UNO, I was such a poor man, with money enough to buy lunch, pay taxi fare, occasionally having a beer, but now, thanks to UNO, I am at ease, for I earn money even when I'm asleep." Gospel version: Now that I have accepted Jesus, my life is changed, blah blah..
Maybe the founder of UNO must've been a Christian, and translated this gospel-sharing system into some business thing. Hmm.. could be.
After that, Nikko's friend still caught us up outside and continued spreading more gospel to us, making our stomach rumble louder. After a polite thank you, that's wonderful, awesome, see you soon, take care, goodbye, we dashed back to McDonald's!
To the rest of the photos..
In addition, I went back to writing stories. Writing a story, rather, which is hanging, lacking of realistic support, needs more character development, and well.. details.
I thought I could be a "writer" just because I describe things with flowery words and stacked adjectives, but let me write a plot for some fantasy adventure story, no thanks.
But that's exactly what I'm doing.
I could just be a screenwriter, perhaps? It would be funny to hear movie stars speaking in a Chippy-like manner dialogue. Nah, dialogues are difficult to write.
About the story, it is about a teen aged boy named Phoenix Skyflame (very nice name, eh? Made up Skyflame myself..thank you) who lives in a city where people worship Baal and numerous other gods. Seventeen and rebellious, Phoenix HATES Baal blaming him that their father has been spending less and less time with them.
Meanwhile, Phoenix continues to search for a way to enter his "heaven" again, the breathtaking Sky Room. Enter it through a door, but it is not a room for it has no walls, nor floor nor ceiling.
Other characters with funny names include Charles Vandal (I'm thinking Matt or John? The most BORING given name would be best), Falcon Skyflame, Cymbelline (??? inspired from a resounding gong and a clanging cymbal)...
May have to think it over and brainstorm again thanks to my permanent writer's block. It is sembreak after all. :)
This blog is a stumble-upon from the random surfing: Schoolpants. Funny, strange, and witty man.
