Buhay Echosera

Last Saturday, I, together with my classmates, have watched a play entitled "Buhay Echosera". I personally give thanks to Ms. Cunanan for requiring us to watch this movie. Because honestly i don't have any plans of watching it, due to the fact that I have no time because there are lots of projects and term paper that have should be done. But there's no regret, I had so much fun, seeing my friends acting on the stage that I could never imagine. Especially, the character of Paul Maunahan, he is my friend, and I am very proud that he did a great job playing a role of a gay.

But back to the play itself, how should I react? Well, this play didn't only make me laugh but made me realize some things and be a lesson for me.

First lesson that strikes in my mind is being true to yourself. In this play, there are two different scenarios that show pretence. One, is a poor girl that pretends to be rich for she wants to have friends. She thought that if she was rich, she will be easily accepted by the society and that she will have more friends. And the other one is the three gays that pretend to be a true man for a special girl in their lives because they don't want to hurt her feelings. They kept their secret as much as possible. But the time comes were all the secrets should be revealed. The father of the poor girl had an accident and it is at that point in time when her friends discovered that she is also poor. And the three gays were sent to prison because they were caught at a raid of a gay bar and the girl knew their secret. These two scenarios only prove that all secrets are meant to be revealed. There's no secret that will be kept forever, because I strongly believe that in God's time, it will all be revealed, especially if it cause you to do sin. I am thinking that maybe all secrets are considered a sin, because there are things that you don't want others to know and that force you to do sin like lying. The lesson I learned is you should always be true to yourself, you should not pretend to be someone to look up to just for you to be loved by others , you should love for who you are, whatever you are. You should not be shamed, but love yourself. If you don't love yourself and aspire for something you don't really is, I am sure that you will end up crying. You should love yourself before someone loves you. God created us for different purposes. He gives us unique identities and status in life because He has plans for us. What we only need to do is to find what the purpose of our lives is.

Second, you should not love someone if you already knew that you will end up hurting that someone. This is what i am experiencing at the moment. I knew that someday, I'll just hurt him but for some reason i am still pursuing and continuing the relationship. One thing I regret is that i should have told him already what i feel about him and that i should have arrange for a split up already..
