Soul Searching
My own stories of mishaps and happiness of high school and college life.
- Robert Jordan is Dead
It’s true. I had the shock of my life last night when I heard. What’s more uncomfortable is that he’d been dead for more than a month before I knew. The man who was the most influential part of my love of fantasy; in truth the one who cultivated it, flourished it along with my [...]
- My Heart, is Breaking
I knew we’d get some flak for it. But we did it anyway. There are just some decisions that have to be made, whatever our feelings are about them. I hated doing it. I was talking to online friends about it even before we finalized the decision. And all the while, my heart was breaking. [...]
- What is Right?
Something unusual happened yesterday. Well, perhaps a more specific way to say it is that something that doesn’t usually happen to me happened.
I found some money lying on the street as I was on my way back home. That never happened to me. Usually, I’m the one who carelessly losses money everywhere so picking up [...]- Farewells: New Beginnings
After the less than enjoyable experience of migrating to another server and losing sight of this site for days, we’re now finally back. Let’s just hope I never have to experience anything like that again.
The moment I woke up on Saturday morning, I saw a message on my cellphone informing me that my female friend’s [...]- Love from Surprising Places
With my previous post asking help for my new project, I can’t help but be surprised at the amount of response I got. Feel the Love?
Sure, I offered to give them something in return. But what surprised me was the number of people who genuinely wanted nothing. They wanted nothing from me, except my friendship. [...]- Asking for Help
I was in over my head. I realized that before. The problem was what was I going to do about it?
Obviously, I couldn’t make it all on my own. I needed help. But not many people will be willing to help me. So I had to bargain with them. I had to give them something [...]- Ban Advertising Pirates
I hate online advertising companies. I hate domain pirates. They should be banned from the face of the earth. They are not even fit to be called the scum of the earth.
Why the overwhelming hatred?
Because they pilfered what I coveted most.
What is that you say? Love? Money? Power?
None of the above.
What I coveted [...]- Binding Impulse
I have this idea in my head. I thought it was a great idea yesterday. I think it’s a really good idea today. I want to know how I would feel about it tomorrow. Or the day after that. I’d like to knock it around my head some more before I act on it.
I am [...]- Learning to Let Go
I’m being philosophical today. Here’s a thought I had after I read losing someone today.
The hardest part about having someone is not about keeping them. It’s about learning to let them go.
Yep, hurts like hell.- Blogging Grandma
A random thought came into my mind as I thought on how long I have been blogging on the net. My earliest recollection of it was probably at the beginning of 2002 when I was still ignorant of web standards, CSS and such, and depended solely on Microsoft Frontpage. My blog was even hosted on [...]
- A Sad Farewell
As expected, my last day on the job was a varying array of emotions. And not at least one person was left dry-eyed.
I suppose that is to be expected. I’ve been with these people for almost two years. And to think of all our memories, camaraderie and foolish pranks, food and jokes shared, it [...]- Stalker? Or not?
I had a strange experience yesterday. I boarded a jeepney on the way home and happened to sit next to someone who scooted over to let me get a better sitting arrangement. I thanked him since I knew he didn’t have to do that, but he did so anyway.
The next thing I know, he was [...]- Arrogance
Heaven’s wrath has come upon me. Curse this arrogance that is my downfall!
I have been sentenced to grovel upon the filthy earth. Such is my punishment. A befitting end to a boastful soul.- My Job Options
A friend of mine handed his resignation today. Another will hand hers in a few days. And another has already been accepted to another company. What is this, you ask, a countdown?
Perhaps.
We were 12 new employees hired January of last year. Currently, only six of us are left, and, including the ones I mentioned above, [...]- War and Suspicion
It was such a hot day yesterday so I decided to ride a taxi on my way to the Toy Convention.
As I hailed a taxi and got in, I noticed the driver had a resemblance to the people in the Middle East. Immediately, my heart raced with fear and suspicion. As I was [...]- What is Faith?
Warning: There might be some who will be offended with this post. If so, I suggest you do not read on. You have a right to your opinions and I have mine. Let’s respect each other thay way, shall we?
We were instructed to hold the statues of Jesus or Mama Mary as we prayed and [...]- Fruits Basket Break
I’ve decided. I’m taking a break from Winglica and from Fruits Basket altogether.
- I Like Anime. So What?
Most people think that anime is for kids and if you enjoy watching it then you’re childish, too. Tsk, tsk. Aren’t you being stereotypical? ! I’m 20 years old and I live, breathe and think anime. You want me to shout it? I LOVE ANIME!
I like anime. so what?
For those who think anime is just [...]- The House Across the Street
A story of a little girl who grew up in another’s care and refuses to go back to her parents.
