a cruel fate

after a well-fed life spent in their cages, the chickens are finally taken to market



the chickens gaze at the wide wondrous world outside their cage



only to see the cruel fates that would befall them, ending up as either tinolang manok...





... or chicken joy



... or their bodies chopped up and skewered on a barbecue stick





if you were a chicken with a choice, how would you rather end up?

fun

because all work and no play makes juan a dumb boy...

as simple as a few lines drawn on the ground, and the whole gang can have a grand time just jumping over them



as kids, we already have this fascination with movement. have big brother pull us on a makeshift sled, and we're all good...



but eventually our tastes catch up with the technology. and the fascination changes from movement, to the idea of control... that we're "driving" that car... that we're "in" that car...



soon enough, we're no longer satisfied with cars. we need to be driving spaceships and blasting away at invading aliens... in 3D...



but if we don't have those hi tech options, or on occasions when the weather doesn't want us to play, we find ways to improvise





even the company of a baby brother is enough...



and it's not just the kids... adults too can find the need to have fun, sometimes at the kids' expense



but we can't all have fun all the time. when our turn is up, we'll have to get off the seat and let somebody else drive the bike

the youth of the nation

"Ipataas ang agtang mong masayag Pilipinhong kabataan kalaumang mayad sa akong yutawhan" - Jose Rizal

hmmm... "ang agtang mong masayag" = "your shiny forehead"?
