eros the bittersweet

flabbergasted

i am not-so-fresh from a one day hiatus and i was checking my e-mails when i started my shift. i came across a news that totally left me speechless and flabbergasted -

alfie patten, a13-year old boy from the united kingdom became the latest in a long line of young UK teenagers to become a dad.


his daughter with chantelle steadman, maisie roxanne, was born last monday.

the boy stands four feet tall - so he kinda looks more like an 8-year old. and may i just quote my friend reich when i shared the news with her - 'may gatas pa siya sa labi!' according to the material that i read, the baby was conceived after one time of an unprotected sex. poor alfie - i do not suppose he's got an idea how expensive diapers are. more than anything, i do not suppose he's got an idea of how huge the responsibilities are.

think about this - he's only 13 years older than his daughter.

i pray for the young parents. and i pray for the baby - i hope she gets all the love and care and attention that she deserves.

but there's a question running through my head - what the hell is happening to the world?

and the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
