One of the perks of dealing with young boys and girls is the glimpse of their innocence. The way they conceive ideas and express thoughts are pure. They never give malice to simple things while I, (un)fortunately do. Often times I envy them, where the fuck did my child-like manner go? Ugh, growing up is leaving marbles and toy trucks in exchange for a something adult(y).
Minutes agoo, I asked my student Chul Gi to arrange words to form sentences. I didn't review the test before giving it to him so I was amused to find out that the words would be so disturbing for him. Not disturbing actually, I think the best term is attention-grabbing.
Teacher, what does it mean that we live in a rainbow world? in his broken but well said English.
Uhm, maybe because we see many colors in nature? Or or the television is blur?
I do not know exactly how to answer the young boy. Should I preach him philosophy or should I just tell him some truths in simple words?
I smiled and said that I don't fully understand the sentence too. He laughed and said that I am not serious.
That's true, I don't fully understand why the world keeps hiding the rainbow or rejecting the obvious existence of it. Haay, marami ka pang dapat ibang malaman, Chul Gi like orange is not orenge and that Philippines is not all tall buildings of Makati, I sighed.
So while I am writing this, I remember my friends Tom, Louie, Archie, Frey, Kane, Earl, Victor, Kris, Yj, Nimmy, Tita Carrie, Jin, Nishiboy, Nox, Pekta, Tonia, Jaycer, Love and Mikee (and othersssss).
Them who live in different shades of the rainbow, them who live colorful lives.
World is simply, rainbow-ful (:

This is such a poignant story. Parang how do you tell these things to a child? I guess some things they have to learn on their own. =)

pasok ka sa classroom one time nang naka-peacock costume, then tell your class that it's the way to live in a rainbow world. then kanta ka ng 'Peacock' ni Katy Perry. LOL
