You must remember
That though you are able to bring about loud guffaws a plenty by remarking on a person’s flaw, it is infinitely better to commend just one person, warm their heart and make them feel good about themselves, than to cause many people temporary mirth at the expense of another.

The place to be.
The ‘big fish, small pond’ and ‘small fish, big sea’ scenario; people can argue forever about which is better.
But I have so much faith and awe in the field that I’m in, that I am just happy to be in the water at all. I am just so happy to be IN THESE WATERS. Here, I know I will grow. I will thrive on things that would make me learn nonstop. I will subsist on the...
Respect

not because he’s asian, not because he has scored more points than anyone else in his first career starts, not because he went to Harvard, not because he puts God before him; I couldn’t care less.
but because he’s humble.

My little cupid
Yesterday, my 3 year old nephew, Pipo, gave me a rose (courtesy of his papa. Thanks Kuya!) So sweet!

I just can’t stand people who judge gays so much. Specifically those whose basis is their religious beliefs.
Some aliens (it’s people, I am just so upset right now) say that it’s wrong to have a same-sex relationship because it’s forbidden and it’s lewd; that it’s (sometimes if the alien is a…

Prose, Poetry, and Ponders from the Past: B
This one’s a poem. I made it for a project we had back in high school and it was dedicated to my then-boyfriend. It’s inspired by the song If I Never Get To Heaven by Javier. Indeed, I practically ripped all the lines in the chorus and included it here. Hahaha. Please understand that I was young (15), that I have loved rhymes since forever, that I “loved” this person I was...

Secrets
I put a stat on facebook that goes “I have a lot of secrets”. Somewhere, someone might be saying “Ha! I don’t have secrets because I have nothing to hide.” But it’s not about that. I don’t mean there are wrong things I did that I’m embarrassed about. Why does “secret” always connote someone did something bad or illegal anyway? As much as...

Toddlers say the funniest things!

WatchWhichever side I’m in (father’s or mother’s), the elders ALWAYS make the young’uns perform. But with my Joven cousins, because we jam a lot, we are able to sing together.
This was when Uncle Lito, Kuya Jun, Ate Maria, and Avery came to the Philippines. Please understand that horrible though our singing is here, this is not the best we can do. No, really! Hahaha! The point...

Wishes for one's self
I do not like to be shallow. I do not like to be superficial. I want to continuously grow in wisdom. I want to be incessantly amazed. I want to see more than what is apparent. I want to see beauty always, in everything and everyone. I want to be in awe when awe is not due or expected. I want to learn and learn and learn. I want to feel deeply for everything but learn how to control my desires. I...

WRITE
To unravel your own thoughts gradually or in a slew of words that try to keep up with your frantic mind, until either way, they make beautiful sense.
To safeguard special memories the best way you can
To communicate in the way you intend
To document findings and preserve realizations
To share beliefs without forcing them on others
To create a world wherein the stories in your head would be...

Whenever I read the things you write, I see the world through your eyes, and it’s so so beautiful. It has nothing to do with your grammar and diction, and everything to do with your heart.

Project prospect: Prose, Poetry, and Ponders from...
I’m thinking about sharing some of the things that I’ve written before. From those days and that age when this thing called journal was (and still is) my only sanctuary; the only thing that I looked forward to everyday which gave satisfaction without fail. Where and with whom I shared all my thoughts and feelings freely. It’s like exhaling after I’ve held my breath for so...

Deviant
You act different from Society
And you are called a rebel
When all you want to do
Is just be your natural self.
Unconventional is bad
Follow the status quo
People are quick to judge the roads
about which they don’t really know.

Personal entries
With my new theme (yet again), I’ve created a page which contains the link to my very own entries, i.e those that were not reblogged or were reblogged but on which I have added my very own thoughts.
I tried finding a way so that when you click on the page, you are directed immediately to the posts. To my utter frustration, I could not.
This is the link to the page which contains the link...

I am so happy because some of our relatives from the States are here! Uncle Lito was here just 3 months ago, but now he came back with Kuya Jun, Ate Maria (Kuya Jun’s wife), and Avery (their beyond-adorable 18 month-old baby!).
Their purpose is to attend Ate Maria’s brother’s wedding in Iloilo, but in their itinerary is Manila so they could come to visit us too. It was our first...

Realizations: On boasting and braggarts
Those who legitimately have something to brag about, are usually the ones who stay quiet.
In line with that, I think that when things are going really really great, one has no need AT ALL anymore, to boast about it. Bragging is ego boosting; the need to reassure one’s self that the grandest is theirs. And that is only because they are not really assured/secure.
But what is the point of...

Those teeth of ivory
Bought Kimba new toys today. 1 ball, 6 small digestible gnaw bones and one big one.
I immediately gave her a small bone and she consumed it in less that 10 minutes. And so I gave her the toy ball next.
I thought she was caressing it, grateful for my present
I thought wrong of course.

Step 1: Secure ball using front paws
Step 2: Look for...

Marley & Me
It’s been a while since I blogged about a movie. I guess I had to wait for one that would really get to me again.
Well, Marley & Me is the one. Which is why here I am, still up and typing (time check: 2:46 am); I couldn’t wait ‘til the morning to write about it.
A few weeks ago, I made a list of my all-time favorite movies. Movies that moved me, whether to so much...
Who can relate? :))
Aries: Yeah hold on I'm just going to make a really risky decision...
Taurus: OKAY WHO SAID I WAS WRONG?! FUCK YOU, I AM RIGHT.
Gemini: Commitment? FUCK. RUN AWAY!
Cancer: *sobbing hysterically in a corner*
Leo: EVERYONE LOOK AT HOW BEAUTIFUL I AM. DAMMIT, I SAID LOOK! FUCK!
Virgo: LOOK AT THE MESS OF THIS FUCKING PLACE!
Libra: ORDER! ORDER IN THE COURT!
Scorpio: SO. FUCKING. HORNY. ALL. THE. TIME.
Sagittarius: CAN EVERYONE HURRY THE FUCK UP.
Capricorn: *busy scheming ambitiously in a corner*
Aquarius: *not even paying attention to anyone and is lost in their own dreamland*
Pisces: I still have no idea what I want. Nor what is going on.
