In the on-going effort to rebuild myself, I think its important to know what I have to start with.  To that effect, and in the logic that its how you're perceived more than who you are that's important, at least initially, I'd like to ask you, all of you, friends and readers, WHAT MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS TO YOU.

When did you meet me?  How long ( Read more... )

I've had an up and down week with days of wanting to write about the good, the bad and the ugly.  Every time the urge to write hits me though, the mood shifts before I'm able to get anything tangible down on paper or in file.  So, instead of individual entries, here I try to write down the week (+) not as it was, but rather how it felt.

The good:

Sometimes there are these millipedes that climb up our shower drain and i wonder if they believe they're climbing up to some sort of heaven when they're rising towards the light, only to find cold ceramic, and giant feet - only to meet their eventual end, half-coiled and to the side, dead from all I can assume is hunger and sadness and ( Read more... )

I think it was third year when Sir Nic gave us the idea for the bamboo geodesic dome sustainable residence project.  Its amazing how 4 years later, I'd find these.  Oh, and there's a girl too.  I don't know what Bucky would think, but they certainly make me very happy.

While we seldom talked to each other on the phone, we did manage to see each other twice to thrice a week, ( Read more... )

Yaya watched the Dan Henderson vs. Rousimar Palhares with me this morning.  haha.  Its a totally different experience catching MMA with yaya.

"Ano ba yang klaseng boxing yan, may sipaan!"

"..di naman silang magkakasakitang ganyan, di ba?  nagyayakapan lang sila?"

"...buti di nagkakagatan."

"wala namang sakalan diyan, di ba?"
So, naturally, I had to ( Read more... )

It sucks that from time to time I find myself guilty for being okay, for not missing her, for not wallowing in these first steps of moving on.  It scares me a bit, thinking that I could be so cold and quick about things, and not be bothered by losing something that I thought mattered so much to me.  It’s terrible how I could have such moments of ( Read more... )

I watched my first MRT sunset today.  I'm sure I've caught them before, but I've never really watched them until this afternoon.  The sun has a way of coloring the Pasig river and the surrounding Guadalupe / Makati area pink, almost idyllic.  The clutter and billboards become shifting silhouettes in the foreground, while the skyscrapers in the ( Read more... )

In spite of writing sad entries, I have this to post instead.  (Because really, why dwell on something sad when you can choose to be happy instead?  And THIS indeed makes one very happy.)
