speaking of sybil

God ang hirap lang siguro ng buhay nya. 16 personalities man. 16 people living inside one body. Eh me nga lang eh, as far as i know, magisa lang ako dito eh sikip na sikip na ako.

anyway, i will read that book again. after catch 22.

************************************************************

i think i first read the book when i was 15, and given my memory, im sure very corrupted na ang recollection ko of it. but one thing that i think i remember accurately is that, of the 16 personalities, only one can do math.

Si sybil kasi, nung estudyante pa, hindi nya nakayanan ang addition at subtraction. so nanganak ang isang personality na sya ang natututo ng lahat ng mathematical operations. so everytime may kailangan i-add, exit sybil, enter one of her multiple personalities.

at saka, if i remember correctly, sybil had no control of who took over her body because she actually had no idea (at first) that she had different personalities living inside her. i think there was a leader, the strongest personality (i think in her case, the third that came out), who took charge and directed which personality should come out to face a particular situation.

so when a certain identity is in control, what do the other 15 do?

where exactly do they hang?

may group ba nag-ga-gather in the southeast wing of the cerebellum or meron bang grupo na nag ro-road trip sa liver for kicks?

im really gonna read that book again. after catch-22.
