i am quite in the mood for picking up lessons from my little experiences. i've been having clouds over my head, (to borrow from the song from music and lyrics which i saw last night on hbo), and the clouds must be swirling with the coffee i had after dinner, keeping me awake.i recently got a pasalubong (i actually thought i was paying for it so i asked for a 160gb hdd and an 8gb memory stick pro duo) the external hard drive was for backup and file storage and the 8gb memory stick was for my portable playstation. my ninang thought it was an overkill.
the overkill reeled some thoughts on my mind.
one of the swirls it made: people and memory. "people" is interchangeable with you and me.
there are many interesting things to talk about memory, like never forgetting and always remembering. where do we keep our memories? which memories are worth keeping? a few good ramblings would surely come from the idea of memory.
the overkill that is the 160 gb external storage is a declaration of an underlying longing to remember and be remembered. it shows how one would try so hard to keep memories readily accessible, making sure nothing is lost, and leaving room for so much more.
for the memories life gives us, and those memories we leave in turn, an overkill will always be justified.
