Less of Me

The Guru was interested, about what it is like, in the Philippines, before the Spaniards came. And so he was reading an entry on Wikipedia, when I joined him in the office. We started reading them ,and I get to learn more about the history of the Philippines. There were links that I never knew before like this form of document that existed before the colonization period, proof that we have forms of writing, but why we never have recorded history before the colonization?

 

We have followed links after links and deviated to other subject such as sociology, then he get to a point where, he went back to his true passion which is politics , but I just get really interested, and gone deeper of following further of other links. Simultaneously, I just copied the title, of all those links that I have gone to and when I paste them to One Note, it automatically append the URL,  what I have done before on some of my entries here, is mention a word and I hyperlinked that word to URL, and it's kinda tedious because I have to copy the hyperlink from One Note, and I have to remove 'From <' at he beginning of hyperlink and '>' at the end. This time I will just paste the list as it is and see if, the blogger apps automatically will recognize the format as hyperlink

 

Anyways it's a good learning experience and interesting to know more about my origin.

 

Now something flashes on my memory is the time me and my son, Rikko, printed this book we composed using

Creative Writer, got this information from Encarta, and used comb binding machine and laminate the covers. I wished I could have done the same with Kristof, but I lost the opportunity…

 

[continuation before the flashback] Then for some reason while he was surfing on his politics, I suddenly have this assumption that I confirm with him. Remembering those documentaries that we watched, several of them, showed that there were burning of all kinds of historical records, when one group is overcoming another group. The Guru somehow don't agree with that idea but I later found it and I actually include them here in my entry here the actual words, that I copied from Wikipedia.

 

Anyway, it's kinda frustrating to know what happened but it happened a lot in history and so we can just accept it and no one could be blamed, just hoping it will not ever happen again in the future…

History of the Philippines (900–1521)

 

From <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Philippines_(900%E2%80%931521)>

 

Primary sources for this period in Philippine history are sparse, which explains why so little is known. It is however, postulated[by whom?] that during the more than 300 years of Spain's colonization, Spanish authorities in the Philippine had successfully cleared through burning or burying written records and other documentaries that would establish proof of governance on the various existing small kingdoms and sultanates they subdued. This is evidenced by the Laguna Copperplate Inscription written in copper metal sheet. The inscription writing in Kawi script manifest the existence of a developed writing system and government structure prior to the arrival of Spaniards and its subsequent establishment of Spanish colonies

Stopped surfing and I started preparing soup till he called me to read from his favorite book which is Neurosis…

 

 

 

We read and the timer went off, notifying me that it's done simmering for 30 minutes , and took some to eat while reading with Guru. Like always he will read loudly and I follow, where he is reading.

 

 

 

Got done with reading, and got into napping position but surfed a little more that I added on the list above.

 

Didn't walk today.

 

Woke up and eating more of the soup I made, and Guru is reading from the office of his favorite book and I was interacting with him while I was eating 2 servings.

 

 

 

 

And then he got to this part where he started singing about kindness that he remembers and look for it on the internet and here it is.  He shared it on Delicious.

 

Less of Me Lyrics

 

Let me be a little kinder

Let me be a little blinder

To the faults of those around me

Let me praise a little more

Let me be when I am weary

Just a little bit more cheery

Think a little more of others

And a little less of me

Let me be a little braver

When temptation bids me waver

Let me strive a little harder

To be all that I should be

Let me be a little meeker

With the brother who is weaker

Think a little more of others

And a little less of me

Let me be when I am weary

Just a little bit more cheery

Let me serve a little better

Those that I am striving for

Let me be a little meeker

With the brother who is weaker

Think a little more of others

And a little less of me

Let me be a little meeker

With the brother who is weaker

Think a little more of others

And a little less of me, less of me

Then linked another song

 

Try a little kindness

 

If you see your brother standing by the road With a heavy load from the seeds he's sowed And if you see your sister falling by the way Just stop and stay you're going the wrong way   You got to try a little kindness Yes show a little kindness Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness Then you'll overlook the blindness Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets   Don't walk around the down and out Lend a helping hand instead of doubt And the kindness that you show every day Will help someone along their way   You got to try a little kindness Yes show a little kindness Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness Then you'll overlook the blindness Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets   You got to try a little kindness Yes show a little kindness Just shine your light for everyone to see And if you try a little kindness Then you'll overlook the blindness Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets
