Glorietta Blast

Let us all join our countrymen and unite to condemn this ridiculous act of absurdity. The bomb explosion in glorietta if it's true is an act of cruelty beyond anything else.

Think Language. Think Bridge.

The Macbook Pro

Finally... had a new laptop after months and months of waiting and finding ways on how to acquire such a piece of technology that will eventually depreciate.

Oh well, guess this is how life is supposed to be... work is really inevitable.

So, what does 140k look like? Well, it looks pretty good!

The countdown begins...

In exactly 30 days from today....

My colleague, coffee pal, best bud, saviour, accomplice, companion, confidante, most trustful friend, princess, alter ego... is coming back to the Philippines after spending 5 months of vacation in the United States. The countdown begins, and everywhere in Manila to Pangasinan, I can see banners floating in the streets wishing for her safe return and warmly welcoming her back to the land of her roots. She is coming back after a long vacation, and nontheles chose to still be with this country that is in peril, when she could have choosen to live the higher life. Her decision was partly to be back to her roots as this has been the country where she was born and no amount of money can ever buy her loyalty to stay elsewhere.

Sandy, time is fast approaching and everybody's excited to see you! I miss you!

A Second Glance - Guaranteed

I'm very excited on getting my first Apple laptop.. the MacBook Pro

As someone wrote, "It's a mighty fine machine -- even as it waits for the rest of the world to catch up."

Any tips on how to use a Mac? =)

Euphoric

I have been busy this past few days to update on what's happening with my life. There have been quite a few stories that I would want to share but been hesitant to do so. The cycle of life has always been the same. We love some, we lose some. As I've said before, I don't believe that there is something absolute in this world..... only temporary happiness that will let us drown in abliss for a moment's time, and wander away looting the joy that it brought.

Here are some of the recent shots I took....

Welcome 2006...

I had a boring new year's eve this year. Partly because I slept the whole night, and was too tired from my party yesterday. I financed a house party that had been fun.. met a lot of new people and began to believe that I have moved on from the past. 2005 has been in many ways a fulfilling year for me. It had been a great journey. I learned a lot about love. Endured a lot of heartaches. Transversed a lot of new places. Gained some new friends. Lost some unworthy ones. Had a great time at work. Had to study my masters degree. Bought some new equipment. Took a lot of new photographs.

It's now the year 2006. I'll be turning one year older this year. I face the year with excitement for better days to come.

Same Ground

I met my ex Chr (Desolate post). I was around Makati with some friends when suddenly, she sent me an sms message asking me to pick her up in Bulacan. She was crying. Apparently, there was a fight between her family members and she wanted to leave the place. Devoid of any financial means due to recently resigning from her work at teletech, she decided to seek my assistance. I picked her up. We had dinner. We had coffee. And we had an amazing conversation that I've never had with an ex-lover for the past few months.

Sometimes, I feel what a silly thing love is. Not half as useful as logic, for it doesn't prove anything, always telling one of things that aren't going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true. Love dries us crazy and in mnay cases, we would eventually realize that we have been loving the wrong person or for the wrong reasons but I guess that is what makes loving more real. Being in pain makes us feel that we are loving more. That could be the reason why people choose to go to complicated relationships unconsciously. For it is with terrible pain that we feel more alive and loving more.

I am scared of love. I am scared of life. But I guess that is what makes us human. That is what makes us vulnerable.


Same Ground
(Kitchie Nadal)
My love,
Its been a long time since i cried
And left you out of the blue.
Its hard leaving you that way when
I never wanted to.

Self-denial is a game
Its strange i never would’ve
Wanted if until there was you.

Because i have learned that love is beyond
What human can imagine,
The more it clears
The more i have to let you go.

But now i don’t understand why im feeling
So bad now when i know it was my idea.
I could’ve just denied the truth and lied.
But why am i the only one standing stranded
On the same ground?

My love because i have learned that love is a
Word gets thrown a little bit too much.
The best excuse to fill the infinite abyss
I never have to if all else fail

Would you be there to love me?
When all else fail,
Would you be brave to see right through me?
