Thank you 2011. Hooray for 2012!

Man. Where do I start? It's been, what, 3 months since my last post here. There’s no excuse for that. Especially when you want to be dedicated to writing. This e-journal is unfailingly in the back of my personality calling for me and I can’t identify the chance to write due to some reasons: work and sometimes, a bit of writer's block. At least it's a holiday today so I have the reason and topic to write hereon! :D (image credits: google.com) In just a few hours, we will finally bid adieu on this year of the metal rabbit (2011) and we're going to wave the fire of the dragon tomorrow (2012). Let's keep our hopes high that our lives will be more meaningful and prosperous in the coming days. Our plans and expectations might sometimes fail but we should not lose the attitude of moving forward. Feliz Navidad everyone! :)

Writer's block and Thy Brother's Wife

It is a condition where writers whether professional or not, is losing their capabilities to write or produce new work. Maybe they're running out of inspiration, no good topic to discuss with or they might have something to be done beforehand. Though I'm a so-so writer, I feel that I have this condition because the last post I wrote here was about six months ago ( 25th EDSA 1 anniversary ) already. My birthday had already passed by too but I wasn't able to blog it out because I cannot sum up the words all the things I want to say. Well with these past months of my blog shut down, I did some pocketbook hopping where I borrowed some books from my mother in their school library. I had just finished reading Thy Brother's Wife by Andrew Greeley and the story was quite okay. This secular novel is about adultery, incest and sacrilege and Father Andrew (yes, he's a priest for real) was stouthearted enough to divulge all these against-the-church stuff. The gist of the...

Memoirs of the so-called THE PAST

Today, February 25, 2011. A day that most of us, Filipinos, are solemnize by the 25th anniversary of EDSA People Power 1. I know that memories are still vivid to those who participated in this bloodless revolution that ended Marcos regime. I wasn't born yet when EDSA 1 happened but I know some of the insights of this history through watching some news clips from TV programs and browsing some EDSA 1 articles on the Internet. I saw some pictures of nuns who have the guts to face the huge tank in front of them while holding their rosaries, students who skipped to their classes, poor and riches individuals who flocked to EDSA and collided as one. Emotions were high at that time and all they wanted was to ouster an abusive leader. The battle cry was: TAMA NA, SOBRA NA, TAPUSIN NA! Change the system and enough greediness and corruption in the political arena. While watching those EDSA 1 scenarios and asking my Nanay some questions about it, I even asked myself if we totally obtai...

Ready, Set and GO!

(Image Credits: http://uniqueyenmei.blogspot.com ) We are now in the last week of January 2011 and finally, I'll be writing my new post for this Year of the Metal Rabbit. How's your new year, guys? I know it's a little bit of late in greeting you all only this time, but hey! It's still the new year, anyway!  Well, my celebration of the new year was pretty awesome because I had the chance to goofed and played along with my family, cousins and other relatives. I must say that celebrating the new year is one of the best occasion we have because this is the season that we reminisced on all the things we've done in the past year and at the same time hoping for the best next year to come. As of press time, a lot of things are juggling in my mind right now just like what will be my future holds this 2011, my soon-to-be decisions and above all, how can I handle pressures and other surprises that will surely come along the way? Then I look back in 2010 and realized tha...

Sabel: The Beautiful Damsel

One and a half day to go and we will say goodbye November, then people all over the globe will be celebrating the yuletide season on 25th day of December. So before I write any Christmas related stuff here, I just want to make a special page or post to my showbiz crush, Jessy Mendiola. I started to like this 'it girl' when I first saw her in Avon brochure and BINGO biscuit commercial. Her flawless skin, beautiful smile and personality caught me awestruck and I suddenly fell in love with her. That admiration grew when I saw her up close and personal in Trinoma and took a picture together. Jessy and I (Excuse my haggardness. Hehe) She was so nice and I can honestly say that her kindness is genuine because I didn't felt any pretensions from this beautiful damsel. I just hope that I'll see her again very soon and take more pictures of her. Anyway, Jessy Mendiola will finally lead on her first ever teleserye in ABS-CBN entitled Sabel. I just hope that this series will set ...

GOD is my SUPERSTAR

Time flies so fast and it's November already then in a blink of an eye, December will be just around the corner. People nowadays are too busy setting up their Christmas trees, belen , Christmas lights and lanterns and other yuletide stuff.   I haven't been updating this blog since last month because I don't have any escapades or new things to narrate for and I'm also busy in my office- work circle. Glad that I have friends here on blogger that keeps on updating by writing their own post about their new adventures, usual and different routines and new discoveries. Early this morning I read some newspapers and I finally grasp a good topic to post here. It's a proven fact that reading for just 60 minutes a day can really refresh your mind so you can still catch up on what has been happening in our society today not just by watching TV programs but also by reading as well. There is a section in Manila Bulletin that caught my attention and I read every detail that wa...
