The year 2010 was an emotional circus for me. At first, I thought my list wouldn't make it to 10, but I was wrong (boy, what an ungrateful grinch I am). Lesson for the day: never underestimate the blessings of God. So, here are the top 10 highlights in my 2010 that I want to thank God:10. Finishing 3 Joel Rosenberg books... namely...
I just remembered it's my turn to facilitate our D-Group discussion next week. We're still continuing with the book Emotional Purity (by Heather Patenaude) and the topic I picked out is entitled: Just Friends.What are your thoughts on male and female relationships?When I was younger, it was easier to make friends with guys than with girls. Almost all girls my age were starting...
I just finished watching an episode of CSI Miami. I learned that if an evidence doesn't have any human DNA trace on it, you can test it for bacteria. Apparently, besides DNA, we humans also transfer our bacteria onto anything we put our hands into. Its accuracy to link that specific bacteria to a certain person is 87%, or something like that. Goes...
There are so many things I want to blog about, but unfortunately my blog would turn out into a complete fiction. There are so many things I want to do in life that I want to write about but unfortunately, none of it is happening in my life... yet. I want to travel the world, meet new people, hear their stories, learn their...
The stress of searching high and low for the perfect costume has finally ended. Two nights ago, we had our (dreaded) Christmas costume party and surprisingly,I had a great time.I didn't expect I would say that but I honestly did. I had fun with my friends (friends could be extra cool at times like this) and we enjoyed taking pictures with people who...
this is disheartening.i so suck at writing now.i'm currently doing a follow-up story on one of our beneficiaries. i did the interviews, gathered all the facts, finished my draft - but that's it. i could not add any depth into it. it has no heart at all. no conveyance of emotions whatsoever. maybe i'm no heartfelt writer. maybe i'm just a storyteller. a...
One of the things that school taught me well is the ability to juggle numerous tasks in one day. That's probably the reason behind extra-curricular activities: the idea of balance, which remained an abstract term for me until I started getting serious with my life. So, the mounting projects, homeworks, exams, and other activities weren't just there to torture us but to train...
...the AZKALS for winning against Vietnam in the Suzuki World Cup. Surely you guys stunned the world when you beat the defending champion and advanced to the semis after a draw match with Myanmar. It will be the first for the Philippine Football Team!...Nonito Donaire for winning against Ukrainian Wladimiro Sidorenko and securing a Bantamweight title. No doubt he will be at par...
It's sad to see that jobs, which give a surging sense of fulfillment, joy, and pride, are usually the ones that pay less compared to the routine, robotic ones but are able to satisfy the needs, the wants, and even the desires. It's sad how many people choose to go the "routine" path instead of venturing into the crazy unknown. It's probably too...
Allow me to share the bookmark design I made for the Christmas Giveaways of our company this year. I am just so happy with the result of the design. I am very thankful to the Lord for the inspiration since my creativity only seeps out occasionally in me. It has a season of its own.Anyway, here it is. It's a bookmark-calendar, but I...
1. Books. One of the things that frustrated me when I was a student was the lack of resources to buy books. Now that I can save up money to buy a few, I should definitely grab opportunities for great book finds so I wouldn't be bored next year. Besides, it's a good exercise for the brain. 2. An apartment. As early as...
We had our D Group Christmas Party last Sunday. That makes it the first Christmas Party for the year. Too early, I know, but that's better than having to squeeze it in other days where parties would most likely be scheduled.Since I'm relatively new in this church (and in the group), it was my first time to meet the other members of the...
I still haven't thought of a costume. I'm really starting to consider bailing on it.If only I could. ...
For our company's Christmas party, we'll be having:A costume party.This is going to be tricky. I'm not a fan of dressing up, especially costumes. I think princesses are overrated yet it's still the easiest one to do. Here are some of the things I thought of dressing up as:1.) Phantom of the OperaWho said the infamous phantom is a man? For all we...
Last week, i got the answer to a question i've been asking God for some time. some girls in our Dgroup were encouraging me to attend a single's retreat because my question suited the topics that will be discussed.The retreat was last weekend. I didn't go. It was Tito Aldi's birthday and i wanted to celebrate that with my family. I was planning...
Last night was hellish. That's the only term i could think of. I had an extremely busy day at work, rushing to finish at least half of our Christmas giveaways. on my way home, traffic was intense. jeepneys were full. i had no choice. i decided to walk all the way from Buendia to Taft, where the bus station was. i had fun...
i'm supposed to be writing scripts for Tuesday's recording, but i find myself too distracted with the internet to even begin doing the first lines of the scripts.i guess it has to do with being disconnected with internet for so long. it's been weeks since i was able to connect to the internet again. i was so busy at work lately that i...
"Men never appreciate anything they don't have to work hard for to get."Same as the old saying goes: men doesn't like women who are easy to get. So true. I'm more certain now that it isn't really a good thing for women to have dozens of boyfriends in their young life. It gives the notion that she is easy to get, and an...
I had an intense nasal allergies last night. I thought my brain's gonna pop right out of my nose and I was worried how I'm gonna shove it back to my skull. But I found out that a sneeze is one of the best things in the world!I'm still hoping that I wouldn't have any allergy attacks for the rest of the week,...
What's up with me and the 90s' songs? I'm not that old yet for this (you know, reminiscing songs during my time). Anyway, here's another song that's been playing inside my head non-stop.This song came out in 1997 and only found out this afternoon that this song was sung by a Kiwi Singer (from New Zealand).Joy. ...
Sometimes I don't want anything to do with anyone, anything, or anybody. Such circumstances often scream out arguments and misunderstandings - and I don't want any of those. It's not my fault that I don't know everything. I'm not a psychic and I'm definitely not God. I'm simply doing my job, and a part of it is asking the right questions to the...
I'm sorry. I know that I'm at work and I shouldn't be slacking off but I need a de-stressor. People are bustling in and out of the office right now, and everyone is either shouting or talking too loud. Just this week, my workstation was moved from a slightly hidden, cramped area to a more spacious, well-ventilated one. But unfortunately for me, it...
After hours of searching, I finally found my old blog last night! I was very excited to read it because back in college, I was very keen on keeping it well-updated. So, I have more than a hundred entries there. In the middle of the night I was laughing so hard while reading my entries (good thing my mom was tired so she...
Allow me to be materialistic just for today. Since i already started off my November entry (excluding Happy Birthday, Papa) with a Wish, let's take it down further by making a Christmas wishlist. After all, it'll be Christmas in 19 days!Let's kick off with my top 5 Christmas "needs" list:1. Samsung Corby TXT and Samsung Corby 3GI've been thinking of buying two phones...
Sometimes I wish I could stand inside the recording room, doing the recordings instead of being the one inside the control room, calling all the shots.But now, when I put it that way, i guess playing director isn't so bad after all.LOL ...
