Mac changed computers. iPOD CHANGED MUSIC. iPhone changed the way we communicate.

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So, you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma - whatever, because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path, and that will make all the difference.” - Steve Jobs

I can't believe i spent the whole day deciding whether I'll use the normal or the small font size on this blog. Now I am going home and my blog is obviously a mess haha! Whateves! Let the right font visit me in my dream tonight.

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I am not so sure.

#ImBack!!!!

BLOGGING HIATUS OVER!!! well it wasn't really a break, i went through an over-expectation-for-my-blog phase. But as stated, it was just a phase and i am never returning there ever again.

A lot of unexpected things happened in the last 10 months i went MIA. I'd admit its one of my biggest regret right now that i wasn't able to log all of those events here. But i learned that life is all about moving on and i have blank sheets to fill in more than I could count :)


Come waste your time with me!

Hoc Etiam Transibit

This too Shall Pass (Latin: Hoc Etiam Transibit)


If I can endure for this minute
Whatever is happening to me,
No matter how heavy my heart is
or how dark the moment may be-

If I can remain calm and quiet
With all the world crashing about me,
Secure in the knowledge God Loves me
When everyone else seems to doubt me-

If I can but keep on believing
What I know in my heart to be true,
That darkness will fade with the morning
And that this will pass away, too-

Then nothing in life can defeat me
for as long as this knowledge remains
I can suffer whatever is happening
For I know God will break all of the chains.

That are binding me tight in the darkness
And trying to fill me with fear-
For there is no night without dawning
And I know that my morning is near.

Remembering Ondoy.

(from my journal: 09.26.10)It has been a year.

In the past year I’ve seen and felt greater damage than what Ondoy brought to my life, to the lives of so many people. Washing away all our dreams. Washing away the happiness that we’ve known for so long.

In Life we never really know what to expect. Any moment anything can be taken away from us or maybe we’ll feel that we own something we don’t really need. But despite all these, while we remember that episode in our lives with an open heart, one thing is for sure. WE CAN MOVE ON.

We may hit the ground but in time we can stand up again. At some point between lamentation, remembering and hoping we will be better and be happy in life… Go on with the life given to us.There are things that will never be replaced – just take comfort with the thought that once in our short life we had it, owned it and loved it. Do not force yourself to move on, it will come to you or for things to fall into its right place immediately. Sometimes it doesn’t mean we don’t have certain things, we are incomplete…

God has greater plan for all of us, everything happens for a reason, reasons we cannot easily understand but we should learn to let go and sit still and allow contentment to come to us. Sit quietly and cease your relentless participation instead be assured that we will be able to move on and we will be happy with we were given just make sure you are always ready for life’s surprises.

Happy, Happy!!!!

November 12th and 13th the birthdate of two of my favorite people in the entire solar system!

Space shuttle, Anchors Away, Log Jam!!! How can you say it’s a party when it involved these kinds of things!?

With brave hearts and butterflies in our stomachs and with our motto “basta libre pwede” we lumped ourselves together in one van and headed our way to the Magical Land of Enchanted Kingdom.

Without a doubt, nothing could have prepared us for this day. No amount of yabang and ka-macho-han spared us from “atras-abante” moments. Truly, that day we all learned what peer pressure was all about. There’s just no way to say NO! Andito na tayo friends! Lezzdodizz!!!!

After few hours of pawis, hilo and sakit-tyan-ko moments we were able to ride Enchanted ‘Anyareh?’ Extreme, Log Jam, my very first almost successful bump car ride, Anchor’s Away, Rio Grande and the sukatan ng pagka-lalake Space Shuttle.

Thanks again Mark and Java!!! Nextsheer ulet!!!!  We had a BLAAAAASSSSTTTTT!!!

yes maybe.

Just because she comes off strong, Doesn’t mean she didn’t fall asleep crying. And even though she acts like nothing’s wrong, maybe she’s just really good at lying.
