Just Another Testimony (Rina)

Yup, just another Testimony, from friends and family. Its really amazing how much people know, and how much wisdom they have based on the things that they've been through. Even more amazing how much you learn from the very different ways they perceive things, and how they turn out to be amazing and intriguing individuals. I kinda feel lucky having interviewed and known all of them, I hope there is someone else besides me who appreciate what they have to say. ANYWAY. Here is another personality.


This entry's next guest, Rina. A college student, and a close friend of mine. She likes music, and has a knack for wearing big dirty looking shirts. She loves boys with scruff, and girls who have a nice rack. She also loves her friends, and family. She enjoys eating and sleeping. She's one of the most peculiar and interesting people i know, I say this in the best possible manner possible (get it?). She's a playful kid, who cannot be measured completely by the world's social yardstick. She's a very strong girl, who's got an equally strong personality. It took me a while to get her to talk about serious stuff, as she usually, well-- never gives a shit. 


Rina's parents have been separated for a pretty long time. Unlike most stories, Rina ended up with Daddy "Big Boy", a very "macho" person. She has struggled during the separation, and have experienced the stress separation can cause to children. But she has recently come into terms with reality, and have had to go through a number of ways for coping. Her accounts come from a first a hand experience of just how bad separation can be for a kid. Her views on the matter:


How do you feel about divorce?


"Pareho lang. Same as any separation other form of separation." 


Are you against it or for it?


"Hindi ko alam eh. Kasi, against din talaga ako sa separation. But then again, you know. Sometimes may mas deserving ng protection and support, like the kids. Sana rin kasi diba, may parang way to compensate yung iniwan, kesa sa nangiwan. Parang, for example, dapat may agreement rin na yung support constant parin, especially kapag may kids."


Soooo?


"I might be pro. Hahahahaha"


She has a point. Most cases of divorce, doesn't start out mutually. And that sometimes, there are people in fault, or there are parties that have to endure more responsibility for asking to haul ass and leave. There should be protection and support agreements that ease and balance out exits.


Do you want kids?


"Nope."


Husband?


"Nope. not really."


Sure?


"For now at least. I'm not supposed to be thinking about this shit. Cmon man"


Might be just coincidence that Rina chooses not to aspire for marriage and kids, or might not. Intriguing tho, don't you think?


Anyway. 


Thank You Rina.
