I know the blog is currently under hiatus, it still is. However, this I just have to share:Another Saturday morning with nothing to do but loiter around.It was early morning and the town is starting to bustle up. One can hear taho vendors shouting their wares, the sound of small horns of the pandesal bikers filling the air, and the sorbetes cart bell joining the ensemble. Little children run from

A pessimistic view of living life: every breath you take is a breath less to your life, every second you live is a second less in your life no matter how many seconds are left in your lifetime. We are all slowly dying. Scary thought is it not?That may be an extremely sad way to perceive wonderful life, however a lesson can be derived from that. All of us have only one shot at life. And all of us

The sky is a wonderful scene.Every moment you look at the sky it is different from the next. No two skies are the same. The sky can be painted in any color, in any hue, in any shade. When you look at the sky, it can bring joy, calmness, sadness or almost any emotion. Those are only a handful of the wonders of the sky!Yet we take it for granted.

The Tigress is on a rampage.She sought to bring order to the forest - order of thing the way she sees fit. She went through the forest territories as if they were her own, laying waste and taking what she wants giving nothing in return.A Robin's nest is down trampled on the ground.

Like Each passing day shorter than the last one.Could it be due to our perception of the length of a year being different from how we perceived it ten years ago? For example, when we were 10 years old, a year is a tenth of our life. And if we are already 20 years old, a year will

Most of us must have grumbled many a days muttering nonsensical whims on the imperfections of life.But have we even thought about how perfect a perfect life will be? Evil and wrong-doings do not exist, we do not have sickness nor feel pain. Food and all our needs are in abundance and struggle is no more. There are no such concepts as risks, suspicion and criticism. Everything will go according to

I have always dreamed of being master of the heart of a home - the kitchen. I would like to learn how to cook. And how to do it well.To others, knowing how to cook is to know how to cook the average adobo, tinola and sinigang, among others.

Curry is one of my favorite dishes, with its exotic taste and a wide array of flavors and spices, it's a must try for everyone. However, you can't have your favorite dishes everyday. If you'll have them ever so often, you will get tired of the taste and eventually of the dish. And later on, you will have to find a new dish to favor. And you will find a new one, like it and eventually replace it

Now, thousands of Filipinos are graduating and soon to join the workforce with hundreds of choices for careers to pursue. But we stop for a moment and think, what is often the career choice nowadays by our young professionals? Often the choice is materialized with money matters in the highest priority. Professionals see on how much one can earn in a career. Often times, these decisions are

Formal education - nothing can beat it. So they say. I say otherwise. Formal education is supposed to hone the young minds to be more creative and to function better in their lives in the future. However, those goals are not achieved through the education the youth is currently receiving. There are certain flaws in the system we call formal education. The first issue is the worship of the

Takot ako sa multo. At malamang buong buhay ko takot ako sa multo. Pero ayon sa mga taong malapit sa akin, bakit daw ako matatakot sa multo? Ano bang magagawa sa aking ng multo? Sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam. Takot lang ako. Basta. Iniisip mo siguro na para akong batang natatakot. Ikaw din naman eh.

Liposuction has reached an all new level! Body fat removed through liposuction were considered biological waste, not until recently. According to BBC: Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi had a liposuction and the fat taken from his body were used by Swiss artist Gianni Motti to create a hand soap named "Mani Pulite" ("Clean Hands"). The soap was auctioned and was sold to be worth $18,000 to

"God has no religion." I am not a responsible Catholic. I am not fond of doing my obligations just for the sake of doing it. After all, I do not believe the necessity of doing it. I am not a religious person. Although, I am a Catholic, since I was born a Catholic. But I am not really. I am more of mixture of many religions. I have read parts of the Quo'ran, The Bible, some Zen teachings, and

"A man and his greatest invention - religion." It may seem a contradiction but it's not. To put bluntly, religion has been invented by man in order to have a common understanding among ourselves of things and events that we cannot explain ourselves. There are any things that the early men could not readily explain. Therefore, man as inventive as he is, came up with a simple and straightforward

While browsing through my old paper stuff, I came across this article I have written 3 to 4 years ago but is still relevant today as it was before. I must also say that credits go to Micheal Crichton, and his novel entitled "Timeline" which struck inspiration of this article for much, if not all, of it is true.

Sinong mag-aakala na ang buhay ay kukulay nga sa sinabawang gulay? Ilang talbos ng sayote, talong, kamote, bagoong at konting sahog pala ay may taglay na sigla para sa tiyan na kumakalam at sa pusong nagdaramdam.

It is truly wonderful to live in the realm of dreams where everything is not what it seems and nothing is what it seems to be. But the duality of nature persists even in the realm of fantasy, thus where fantasy exists, reality coexists. To try to live as if life is a dream where you can just about do anything you wish and wake up whenever your dream starts to be shadowed with nightmare, or

Ever wonder why we, humans, are the greatest product of evolution? Why of all the animals on earth are we the species that "owned" the Earth? What do we have that other animals don't have? There is no contest if I say that apes are the most superior of all animal groups. Bipedal apes with intelligence and grasping hands, a sense of community, and ingenuity to use objects as tools.

Patawad. Sa araw na nagdaan ay wala akong ginawa kundi ang magpalayaw at mag-aliw. Bungsod ng lungkot at pagkayamot na nadarama sa kahabaan ng mga araw na nakalipas. Sa araw na ito ay pinanood ko ang isang yugto sa buhay ng isang di pangkaraniwang lalake sa kabilang dako ng imahinasyong mundo. Kung paano niya itinakwil ang isang masamang bagay na kumapit na sa kaniya at mahirap alisin kapag

I know what you are thinking, but this one is not like those kind of things. Regla is a Spanish word meaning "ruler" as in an instrument used for measurement. (Here's a fun fact: The women's menstruation comes every 28 days, hence the term regla referring to the measurement of days of the re-occurrence of the process.) Everything has a measure. I meant, man is measuring everything. The

I was restless in the night of dreams without rules where all delusions become possible in our world inside the mirror. The time of our meeting has proved to be short for us to come to this situation we are in. How can an emotion so strong develop from nothing to a number of infinite possibilities? We pull ourselves to each other so close. We let loose of our deepest dreams and desires.

"Death conquers all," it says. Have you ever thought how you would like to die? Well, you should. Death only happens once in a lifetime and I guarantee that. Some half-wit may point out that one can medically die for a few seconds and then get revived. So, let me point out that I am referring to permanent death. Now, tell me how you would like to die. In my case, I'll tell you how I would not

Yesterday night I was so busy trying to setup a wireless connection for a friend. In the process, I brought up my might and wit to subdue the overwhelming newbie feeling within me. The setup of the wireless ISP (Smart Bro) is peculiar for it doesn't use a modem to connect to the internet. But I don't want to tinker with that...

The sea is a mass of vast waters where you can see the beginning of it in the shorelines but can never see its end. The human mind can be compared to the sea - the beginnings you see but the ends of which you cannot see, even harder to comprehend. The mind is such a wonderful thing. Don't waste it. Make it as deep as you can so others cannot wade in it but make it calm enough so some can enjoy

The Melancholy of me. Not a pretty sight. Loneliness only happened to me once in my lifetime. And it lasted for 18 years. And still counting. Loneliness isn't that bad.
