I know I’ve said I don’t believe in resolutions and don’t make any, so I am not calling this a resolution. This next thing I’m blogging about is more like something I’d want to try this year. For 2013, I will try to do my best to make sure that my weekends remain “Weekends” and not extensions of “weekdays” and unfinished work that I leave off to finish during my free hours. Last year, I sacrificed a lot of weekends…

Pyramid
Read moreThe third day of January has been a rainy one. For someone who does not like rain, or even just listening to the sound of it, this day is not a perfect one. However, I slept really well today, so I don’t think I have a right to complain. I just don’t like it when it rains. I don’t know what it is about the rain that gets me every time. I always get restless when rains starts to pitter-patter…

Hello, Hello
Read moreToday is the first day of the year. I wasn’t really looking forward to saying goodbye to 2012. For one, it has been an amazing year for me. It may be one of the best years I’ve had in my 28 years of colorful existence. I don’t know what 2013 has in store. I don’t know if it’s going to be a good year, or if this will be a let down. I do hope that, even if it won’t…

Fire
Read moreHe and I are complete opposites of each other. He likes to blend in; I like to stand out. He likes to go unnoticed; I enjoy a dramatic entrance. He prefers to fade in the background; I aim to get the spotlight. He likes to shut up; I love to talk. He likes to be right all the time; I enjoy giving corrections. It is a messy thing, him and I. However, we do have our moments. Sometimes, there are…

Souls Departed
Read moreThis post is a day late. My late stepmother’s birthday was yesterday. However, as always, I have been caught up in work and other personal stuff, so I wasn’t able to stop and write about something. She was a fun person. She wasn’t the usual stepmother character that used to be portrayed in fiction where she had imaginary horns and always made things difficult. In fact, she was kind and nice to me. She did not treat me like a…

To Book Blog or Not
Read moreI’ve been thinking of starting up a book blog, you know, for all those books I have read and for all the books I have yet to read. I have more than 2000 books stored on my library manager. That’s not including the ones that I have on paper. Out of that 2000, I don’t think I only read about 500. That’s why I got this crazy idea to start a new book blog under a different subdomain. Maybe something…

Definitions Change
Read moreI found a picture that’s a few years old. I can’t believe that a few years ago, this picture actually defined me as a person. When I started working professionally in 2004, I already knew how to smoke, but I was never got into the habit. Even during my self-destructing, troubled phase, I never really had the urge to start smoking. That all changed when I came to Cebu. Somehow, the cold nights I endured in the graveyard shift, the…

Another Sunday, Another Beach
Read moreSundays are best spent at the beach, lounging around and away from the demands of work and life. That is why we decided to go to the beach on Sunday. After Jeff’s and my experience in Plantation Bay Resorts and Spa, we decided to try out Maribago Bluewaters Resort. It was no Plantation Bay, but we still had fun. A day tour package included access to their pools and beach, a towel, and a lunch buffet. The food was great.…
