Story Description: Walang sakit, walang thrill. Hindi ka pu-pwedeng mabuhay nang hindi nasasaktan. Hindi nasasaktan ng PAULIT-ULIT. Ganoon kalupit ang buhay. Hindi ka lang isang beses magiging tanga. Hindi ka lang maloloko ng minsan. Kadalasan mas marami pa sa bilang ng daliri mo ang mga pagkakataong papaasahin at lolokohin ka ng ibang tao. Kung hindi ka matututo, hindi mo magagawang ipaglaban ang sarili mo. Kung mahina ka, palagi kang matatalo. Kung palagi kang aasa sa awa ng iba, kailanman hindi ka makakatayo gamit ang sarili mong mga paa. Hinding hindi mo sila matatalo hangga’t hindi mo nilalaro ng tama ang laro nila. That’s the rule of the other side of life. Play it or lose again. “Life can be so happy, and peaceful, but there’s always the other side of that. Suddenly you’ll realize that even the world that was created perfectly offers you a life that can make you miserable. That’s why you should survive. Learn how to fight...” –Faye Abueva I’ll tell you what is, the Art of Panloloko.
