I was contemplating on my way from "school" this morning that I should again write, may it be in the form of poetry or free flowing stories of the like as long as I am writing away and encapsulating what I know is a start of a wonderful journey with myself and Them.
Them, a four letter word that has been passed on from mouth to mouth without so much reiteration and zest as I am about to embark on explaining what Them means to me.
Them.
(another revelation)
I have now decided to start a new thread of blogs, some poetry, some stories and bits and pieces of conversation from my day to day correspondence with life. nostalgia triggers.
so now to explain Them...
Ray of Sun - RS
Shailoe - S
S: dear.. would you by any chance have something on autism that I can borrow for a time? Btw, may utang pa tayo sa isat isa na inuman!
RS: hey shai! i have lots. actually, kirby gave me a book about it sweet boy. when do you want it? i also have clips of diet for autistic kids called the GFCF diet. mama stells once set me up a lunch with her sister-in-law who has an autistic son. why if i may ask? at yang inuman na yan, naku di lang kita iniimbita kasi i know you are in cloud nine so wag muna lagyan ng downers like alcohol. haha
S: What? I am in major need of alcohol! hahah. Well, I am planning to take sped in the very near future (hopefully things go my way) and I want to read on and understand in advance. I am now volunteering as an asst. teacher for a school for developmentally disabled persons (adults majority ages 14-30) and I desire to understand them in experience/practice as well as theory
RS: oh ok. hmmm. truthfully, the only autism book i hve ay yung binigay ni kirbs. haha. all others are clips and online na. so if you still want that one, game just set a date anytime next next week. sorry ang tagal. vacation sa hongkong with gani muna and qubry. wow. somehow hindi ako nagulat na you are doing that. but that is something else, working with ages 14-30. i can only wonder. where is this school? and how is it so far? very interesting. i really admire you and your endeavours shai. actually, what if you propose a documentary sa kanila. we can make one. noon ko pa gustong gumawa e about autism. but i just need a good material. naisip ko lang. before you go again.basta send me lang a message here. or text me 092---------. lets meet up soon. and gooood thing you are back. we will booze soon!
S: hmmmm... The documentary na alam kung nominated sa academy awards "Autism is a World". Not sure how to get hold of it nga lang.I am interested, a documentary ey... Hmmmn Let me think of how we can go about it but I am really, really interested.Ja, I am flattered and at the same time relieved that I still have the capability to feel a tad proud of myself... Living haphazardly for too long makes this a possibility as I have been feeling a bit lost. Its called the New Horizons Center for the Developmentally Disabled Persons, they have I think 12 students all in all. 2 are mentally retarded, one of them is a Teacher Assistant at the school, Kevin his name is. I could picture talking to him for the rest of my life even if we talk almost about the same thing every time I go there... wonderful, amazing guy. Our only girl, Billy Rose has down syndrome and I am hoping to be able to communicate and connect with her in time. The rest have autism, all eternal sunshines of the spotless mind. I am starting to fall in love with them. :)*sigh*
