Looking Back

I can't imagine that I've been posting write ups, since 2005. Looking back at where I've started, I can't imagine how I was still able to post on 3 blog sites (actually 4 but the 4th one is hidden) up to this time. I tried to look back at my first (and still somewhat updated) blog, BLOG-TA. I got a lot of laughs looking at the comments on most articles (someone seemed to have the most comment on many articles) However, I still couldn't bring myself back to those perky articles I wrote. Probably one of these days, I could set myself to full writing mood to write those twisted stories mostly about the events of the day. Right now, I've settled on recording each day by making one haiku a day (also inspired by that frequent commenter on my blog) on MMASR and the (almost) weekly inspirational updates. I also post here occasionally mostly to rant about how the day has gone for me.

I hope I could still maintain these blogs until such a time the webmasters decide to close down.

Fervently praying that you're just too busy and not what I really feared.

Drained

It seems weird to admit that I'm feeling drained. After working for 6 straight days for a month, I cant help but admit that I needed a break. I needed to go somewhere fresh and green. Maybe a secluded garden or on top of a mountain. 

Looking back, I never had this kind of feeling before. I used to have activities 7 days a week including church activities, school activities and some outreach activities. Still think I can do it. I don't admit that I'm getting older, there's still a lot of things I wanted to see, hear, touch and experience. I'm not that old.

Maybe it's because things have become somewhat a routine. Sure the kids are act different each day, but still you have that feeling of going to work at 8 am or 9am, take a lunch break at around 11 or 12 noon and end by 5pm. It has become that kind of a routine for some years or months now. Whereas in college, schedules shift after 3 months or so and each day is a new lesson or a new experience. 

I hope I could have a change in routine. Maybe an earlier time out? Maybe a different day off? Or maybe a career in the academe? There's so many possibilities but it seems hard to find which path to take. I'll just leave it to God to tell me where to go. As of the moment, I guess there are lessons that I must learn.

New Addition to the Crew.

Got this just this week... It's got most of the features I wanted the wifi capability, the music, the decent camera, except for being QWERTY, it's fairly decent. The best part of it though is that I got it for free... :))

Hit Your Head With This.

Reading the book Messages to Young People by Ellen G. White is like taking a bottle and hitting your head with it. Lots of realizations that could cause you to blink, think at what you're doing and realize that you're making small mistakes. 

Consider the following quotations:

"You will not suffer lovesick sentimentalism to so blind your vision that you cannot discern the high claims that God has upon you as a Christian.--"

in short, being emo is bad.

"Those who love society frequently indulge this trait until it becomes an overruling passion. To dress, to visit places of amusement, to laugh and chat upon subjects altogether lighter than vanity, --this is the object of their lives. They cannot endure to read the Bible and contemplate heavenly things. They are miserable unless there is something to excite. They have not within them the power to be happy; but they depend for happiness upon the company of other youth as thoughtless and reckless as themselves. The powers which might be turned to noble purposes, they give to folly. . . ."

In short, no parties and small time enjoyments, because they do not give you real happiness...

"As disciples of Christ we shall not mingle with the world from a mere love of pleasure, to unite with them in folly. Such associations can result only in harm. We should never give sanction to sin by our words or our deeds, our silence or our presence. Wherever we go, we are to carry Jesus with us, and to reveal to others the preciousness of our Saviour. But those who try to preserve their religion by hiding it within stone walls lose precious opportunities of doing good."

in short, socialize and be friendly but be firm on not crossing the boundaries of your convictions and beliefs.

These are just few quotations from the book. If you wanted to find a straight path to a straight life, this book is a must read.

Pista!!

Ang tindi ng mga taga-Adora, bumuhos na ng malakas ang ulan, tinuloy pa rin ang pista. Mga basang sisiw na naglalaro sa kalye ang labas nila...

HOOOY tama na yan! magkakasakit kayo!!!

bwahahaha...

wala lang...

Read Forever

I posted this on FB as well. I really loved the anthem. I found this from one of the creators of Trese Comics, Budgette Tan. Here's his site: babblingpoint.blogspot.com. He even included the anthem text.

READ FOREVER

Til all the books I read are read
and all the pens are put down
and everything there is to learn is learned

Til tears are no longer shed
and the ziggers have all zigged
and the irony is all ironed out

Til the heroes retire
and the monsters return to their dens
and all the plots are wrapped up

Til there are no more twists and turns
No more guns in drawers
No more shaggy dogs

Til rhymes stop rhyming
and pots stop boiling
and everyone is happy and there’s nothing more say

Til that day

By hook or by crook
By book or by nook
I will read

Write.

I haven't written any post on any blog for two straight weeks. I've been updating my 365 project but I couldn't come up with a blog post that I could put on either of my blogs. I have become busy and overwhelmed at the same time. A lot of things happened in a span of two weeks. The first week was supposed to be a hiatus. I went on vacation somewhere. But the second week should have been a writing spree that didn't come. I could try to make up to it though with a new 100 day project coming into mind.
