a musing: derivations of a non-conformist idealist

Somewhere, I read the argument (paraphrased) “Why capture memories and be behind the camera when you can be in the mix and making those memories even better?”  Yeah.  Just recently through the magic of Facebook, I was able to reconnect with a college classmate from Ateneo who I will never forget.  I [...]

The Philippine National Elections looms.  Candidates are coming out of the woodwork.  A hundred presidential candidates?  And that doesn’t include me yet.  I wish!  But I don’t know if I have the constitution for politics.  =)  Everywhere there’s politics, even outside politics.  In school.  At work.  At the playground.  In bed.  Everywhere, I tell you.

Last time… (ref. The Green (07), June 2009)
Work - busy and another B-word
Love - hopeful
Home - zzzz tv movies internet.  Not much time for PC-games.  Hmm, thinking of wii or PS3…  Just thinking…
Health - Shyt, I’m back down to 145-146.  But I’ve maintained my waistline and I’ve started bicep-curling 25lbs.  Am taking some Korgivit-E and [...]

Quite a number of deaths the past couple of months. Grandparents. Uncles. International celebrities. Former presidents.  Friends. You shed tears for them. Your heart feels the cord that bound you to them cut. You can’t prepare enough for their departure from your lives. You try to make sense of it all. You try to remember [...]

A lotto win.  That’s how meeting your lifelong partner can appear to be.  And everyone knows how fast we can burn money in our hands.  Few can control themselves.  Few can save some for the rainy days that come more frequent now. And like in love, it’s easier to take what we have for granted.  [...]

There’s a war inside me.  It’s been raging for some time.  Sometimes it’s relatively quiet.  Other times, it’s a killing field.  I know how it will end.  But I let it rage.  I’ll get tired.  Eventually.  Like right now.  And I can see the end.  It’s not diarrhea and the end is not me sitting [...]

I should be getting some sleep.  I’ll be driving in a couple of hours for three or four hours.  But I haven’t finished packing and I’m not yet that sleepy.  And I’ll just maybe drink an energy drink later before I drive off.  Let’s just let some words flow out like a stream of semi-consciousnessessess.  [...]

Sometimes, it hits me bad.  Good thing I’m finally busy again.  Last week I’ve been coming home late.  And I’m happy for that actually.  Brain cells are humming.  I’ve kept the fauxhawk.  It’s ok.  What’s next?  Reconnecting, rediscovering.  I finally did it- registered for Facebook!  It’s nice.  Friendster pales.  But it’s not as addicting as [...]

Acceptance.  Acknowledgement.  Stress definitely was a lengthy visitor!  And things are just beginning to turn around.  For the better.  Really, from hitting bottom, getting stuck in a rut, and climbing out and into the fire, there shouldn’t be any other way but up, forward, and out, shouldn’t there?  So to update, at work, there are [...]

Stress, stress, go away, come again anoth- no, wait, stress don’t come at all. Everyone wishes. And who am I to be granted that wish? Just a humble servant trying to do good for as many people as possible. No, seriously? No, seriously?!?! Well, I try my best… [...]
