Funny Pics!

I am still on the verge of buying a decent camera. Not that I am undecided, though. But I think it is a battle between a good handycam and a digicam. All for blogging, mateys! So here's for me to share today: Some funny photos I accidentally clicked... Read More... »

OPM: What We Want

I was having a dinner with my dad when I watched the news. Our respectable OPM artists were kind of baffled -- or should I say -- threatened. Their enemy? Foreign performers. This particular news intrigues me. You know, I love Filipino artisans. Musicians like Ogie Alcasid, Noel Cabangon, and even the funny songwriter Lito Camo, are all but legends. And when they write songs, and puts hymn and melody? God, it's music! Notwithstanding... Read More... »

Oh really? I did not know that!

I want to share you guys an interesting text message I got from my friend earlier today. As I'm not really an advocate of text quotes, chain messages, and the like (yeah, I'll delete it as soon as possible if it's that worthless or not work-related),... Read More... »

The Tibetan Personality Test

I am fond of taking dozens of personality tests all over the web. You know, answering numerous questions for a few minutes and afterwards you'll have your corresponding results? Yeah, that's the one! From simple psych questions to the infamous color... Read More... »

Those Four Things About You

For a minute or two before constructing these words and sentences, I deeply wonder why I am doing this. It's fairly clear, as a word of caution(?), that I'm a good friend and a good colleague at the same time. Helping people makes me happy.  I... Read More... »

The Versatile Blogger

Here it is! The Versatile Blogger Award!  I would like to thank jenponix of JenPonix for having me as one of her many recipients for this type of award. Again, thank you very much.  To start the to-do's when a blogger received... Read More... »

Kickback available!

It is nice to be back! Many things happened to me these past few weeks after that "incident". And from the way I see it, I'm moving on.  Random things. I'll try to summarize everything in short phrases or sentences. Yes, I included some pictures.  NOTE:... Read More... »

Move On

UPDATE: Credits to the beautiful Ile Odarod for the title. I'm supposed to tell another story today -- a jolly one -- but the fact that I read her reply changed my mood. I knew it. And I pretended I'm just being innocent and all. Life sucks. As a matter of perspective.  "Move on." No more words to explain such statement as this one. No further clarifications. No argument. Just this. Accept the fact and let it blow you like... Read More... »

The Curious Tag Game

Hello. I am not an advocate of chain messages and of some sorts but this particular tagging game made me accept the fact that there's a first time for everything.  Before anything else, I would like to thank JenPonix about this, and of course, my fellow bloggers and followers who constantly read everything that I'm saying here in my blog -- even though most are pointless. A big thanks to you guys! (I know, I know. Photos. We'll... Read More... »

Field Report | Etched Words

Failed.  The road to my own emancipation is nonetheless difficult, abysmal, and uncertain.  I did not see her yesterday. That's a fact. As early as four in the morning, I knew she wasn't coming. And even though I knew that for certain because of her twitter account, I still went to church and pray.  It is sad. My heart almost fell from my chest because of excruciating pain. She's not there. She's far away and I... Read More... »

A thing they call love

Good luck on me tomorrow. I know that this day will eventually come. A turning point, nonetheless. Of course, I love. All of us do. It's the quintessential aspect of being a human. Very subjective, treacherous, steep, and most importantly, unpredictable. I rarely speak about my love life. And for the obvious fact that I don't disclose for that matter does not necessarily mean I am a cold-hearted guy that spends most of his time in front... Read More... »

Nostalgia

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, right? Sadly, I do not have any dates. Except our family dinner at 10pm, that is. Anyway, here's my story. One of my students said in front of the class yesterday that he's too thankful that they have me as their lecturer. I undoubtedly asked why, of course.  "Because other professors bring thick books before entering our class and they discuss it impromptu. While you sir, you come to our class... Read More... »

A kid from yesterday

Off to a new day. A new start. A kid from yesterday. After that negative emotion I build up yesterday, I realized that over-thinking about it will bring no good for myself. It's time to let it go and face the sun for a bright new day.  I am a big fan of My Chemical Romance. Songs like Helena, Disenchanted, I Don't Love You became my addiction from the undergrad up to the review school last year. Even as I write this, I do not... Read More... »

The day that made me angry

Let me express my rant here in my blog: Pumupunta po ako sa opisina niyo dahil sa trabaho. Kulang kasi ang allotment na ibinigay niyo sa cost center ko. Kahit sinong accountant, magiging mausisa at gagawa ng paraan para mai-salba ang kanyang nasasakupan. Ano po sa tingin niyo, ma'am? Pumupunta ako dito sa opisina niyo para magpa-cute sa inyo? Para tumambay? Excuse me lang po ah. Hindi po ako magiging CPA kung ganoon lang din ang gagawin... Read More... »

Inspired?

Inspiration. I am in dire need of an inspiration because I tend to be frolicking everything I do. The worst case is, I somehow abscond and get the hell out of the situation fast leaving my workplace in a horrible mess. (Wait 'til you see my office desk.) Dear God, what's wrong with me? Love life is not the utmost reason that causes me to act this way, in my opinion. It's someone or something else. I recalled a lore in American Gods... Read More... »

Rest day

Enter! I bravely fought the urge of buying a new tech gadget. Obviously, I failed. After one freaking week with me doing reports and thinking about my current status in my job, I decided to go out and have myself emancipated and relieved. Today is the right time, indeed. No classes for me to lecture. No paper works to be made. Nothing. It's just me...and my brother, of course. He asked me if we could watch the movie Chronicle... Read More... »

Father and Son

I did it. I told them what I really wanted. January 30, 2012. Today is my dad's birthday. After my last class for this evening, I managed to make my way as fast as I can to catch my family having dinner in a local restaurant. I did bring my gift for him in which I bought last night when I was strolling down in a mall. It was a shirt. A simple one. I bet he knows for sure that for the both of his sons, I would be the one giving him such... Read More... »

(LSS) Change the world

Who the heck is Eric Clapton?? I dunno. But after listening to this wonderful song as I travel my way to the office, I can't help but to sing. As I open my lips to mouth *change the world* in the chorus, it's as if I'm gonna spend a long vacation all by myself or with someone else. Or to ride an airplane as we ascend and watch the earth below us. Then came the realization that this song, his song? It's music. Who the heck is Eric Clapton?... Read More... »

5-minute reading

"Seeker" An old man walks up to the front of the store and opens the glass door. The bell rings and he gazes upon the tall book shelves that tower over him. His eyes are not good back when he was twenty-one  but he knows for sure that he can venture inside this unknown shop unassisted. He stops surprisingly, moves his head to the right and finds it: a diary. The old man smiles as he grab the journal and make his way to... Read More... »

Move on

Okay, I'm tired. I totally revamped my blog and forgot all my priorities in my workplace. Time flies so fast when one's enjoying. Yep, I did make the most out of it by fixing my personal space even if I ran out of time to add a few more widgets and tools. Come to think of it, three months of hiatus in blogging was a long time. Some of the blogs I follow drastically changed, having dozens of new and fresh entries since I decided to lie... Read More... »

New look

Still constructing my blog as of this moment.

I kinda like this new look. How about you? :)

Light Post

"Light Post" Grab this tiny palm, With all you can bear; Sing my advent psalm, To light you somewhere. Firefly, lead her please, Connect my old root; Gently as a kiss, My forbidden fruit. Speak up lil' lady, "Is this the way home?" Know... Read More... »

The cat from hell

I just woke up from a crazy and half-remembered dream. A dream of a cat. But not just any ordinary cat, it's a talking cat! In my dream, he approached me and spoke. The voice sounded familiar but I cannot remember who or what it sounded like. The furry beast just spoke and told me the people he killed. It's as if the goddamn "meow-meow" is inventorying his murder list. That thing made me sick.  Of course I tried to recall the... Read More... »

When a joker stopped joking

It's been a while since I last wrote here. I feel ashamed of myself. Jeez... I've been in some countless workloads for these past few months and from the way I see it -- the bitterness of reality -- has only just begun. There are many bumps along these days that affected me so much causing my health to deteriorate bit my bit. I often ask myself, "How far will you go, master? How far?" And with a sigh, I simply hide my winter-y eyes... Read More... »
