Manila

Wew! Manila, sweet old Manila, with its smoke filled highways and dust infected roads. I can't believe I was able to come back here again. And I can't believe that I was able to see HER again. Anyways, I'll just update you guys more on my next entry, coz right now we're preparing for our trip to Tagaytay. Weeeeeeeeee!

Frustrated Writer

I've always wanted to be a writer, ever since I was small, I've always imagined myself holding a plumed pen and dipping the tip inside an ink bottle. Not that I find it cool to write and write, actually I find it boring. What I like most really is to tell stories, and the best way to be able to tell stories is through writing. A friend of mine once told me that books affect him more rather than movies because one's imagination is at play and once it's inside a person's head, it's really hard to shake it thought off. As of now, so many ideas and so many characters play inside my head, but I just don't know where to start. I wish I had the help of an experienced writer, but there are only a few of them here in our place. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to settle with these ideas playing along inside my head.

New Banner

I decided to change the banner of my blog, along with the blog title, coz I realized (it took me that long) that my banner had a certain hint of arogance to it. The phrase "stupidity is not tolerated here" is somewhat cruel and kind of portrays me as conceited and very sure that I am not stupid, when in fact I am. It's rather true for most of us, there are times when we say or do stupid things, but because of our conceit and self pride, we don't really accept that the things we do are stupid. The reason why I chose the phrase "Life, Less Serious" is because I wanna loosen up for a change. Try to be more optimistic and not anxious or skeptical. I think that's what all of us need today, to just enjoy life and live it to the fullest. Not that serious, but not that slacky as well.

On a Thursday! As in?

That was the reaction of most of the students in my department when they found out that our Christmas party was scheduled on a Thursday, this Thursday for that matter. Who's the birdbrain who's behind the scheduling? This totally, totally sucks. It's not that we wouldn't enjoy the event that night, it's just that most of us have classes Friday morning, so we can't fully be at party mode when we still have classes to attend to the next day. Huhu!

The Time The World Stops

It started out as any other day. I woke up, ate breakfast, and prepared myself for the sunday rituals that I was about to undergo when I noticed that there was something slightly different, it's like an atmosphere of anticipation and anxiety has engulfed most of the neighborhood. Then it hit me, today was the scheduled fight of boxing superstar Oscar "The Golden Boy" dela Hoya against our very own Manny "The Pacman" Pacquiao. No wonder there was an air of excitement all around our place, everyone was already looking forward to the brawl that was gonna happen later in the morning. Unfortunatley we can't view the whole thing live because we had church, so we would have to do with the delayed telecast. It's really surprising how amidst all the differences that most people in our country have, we always become united everytime Manny Pacquiao has a fight. Sometime I just wish that Manny has a fight everyday, so that this country could be united everyday too, but that would be impossible. But if one really thinks about it, if we were able to be united in a time like this, then we can really do it regardless if Manny Pacquiao has a fight or not. Perhaps it's just in the mentality of each and everyone of us in this country. If we choose to be united, especially in this time of economic crisis and ever increasing prices of comodities, then we absolutely can.

Finally, An update

For the past few days I havn't been able to post anything on this blog. It's not that I don't want to say anything or that I din't have anything else to say, but I was just super duper busy these past days. What with the intramurals and all, then there's also the school stuff that I have to finish before the Christmas break, and so many other stuff that's kept me busy and frantically asking for a release from all the stress. But thankfully I was able to surpass all that and now, I'm writing on my blog again. To all the people who've read this blog and are continually reading it, most especially to my friend Mya, thanks a lot. 'Till next we scribble guys.
