birthday month

some people said that age is just a number and its a sign of wisdom...i agree. i am starting to know the wisdom of my heart. hhhmmm. i may still be grumpy at times but i know that i'm getting there. thanks to my family and my girlfriend - who always support me with everything. so, what's my birthday gift? this year, i received so-far the best birthday gift, ever! flor came to the national youth pilgrimage. it was a dream come true for me. i did not even ask her to come. she volunteered herself in the activity. picture taken at palo, leyte. anyhow, i thank God for everything. He has given me everything i need but i haven't given something...

avengers

the first part of the movie is quite boring. probably, because i somehow have the idea of how were they formed. the movie neither surprised nor challenged my mental capability. everything is predictable. the director should have incorporated something new about the avengers.  anyways, it still has the aliw factor. iron man and hulk are great. captain america is the worst. the movie can exist without him. black widow and hawk eye are also great. thor needs some renovations. lol!   the picture is from here. i'll give the movie 6.50.

ayun! day 2 is awesome. we had our popular mission in salcedo - a nearby town of guiuan.  before got there, we had a small procession. i volunteered myself to bring the cross. i am in full battle gear. lol! procession to the public market. (by kuya pops) we started the mission by the sharing of some brothers. rollie asked for volunteers and i did not know where the name of "edu" came from. so, i did! i expressed how faithful God is. even from start of the way. we did two by two in the market place. i was with richmon. while sharing during the popular mission. (by kuya pops) break time with dan and albert. (by kuya pops) after...

national youth pilgrimage leyte/samar v.01

we're excited. yes. around midnight, we arrived NAIA Terminal 3 for our 4 AM flight. it's too early but this is what Kuya Bobby and Ate Evelyn preferred. taking a nap is no longer an option. we went up to grab some coffee and had little chat. afterwards, it's time to stand still until the check in counter opens. we had a little problem as we check in. everyone is pissed off...reason? i better move on. lol! after 30 long minutes in the check in counter, we're able to get inside and waited a couple of more hours. we saw susan and rollie cheng. i am happy, i found myself sitting beside my girlfriend. of course, i asked someone else to swap...

8th year

i can't believe it! spending eight long years in my company. as in, wow. let me spell it backwards, wow. until now, i can't believe that i have stayed in my company for long. i still remember the first time i enter GT tower as an ASE. i was so naive. lol! i even cried because i couldn't pass on one deliverable during COBOL training. the entire 8 years is not all fun. its full of up's and down's. a roller coaster ride. but you know why i stayed? ...i have the freedom of time. i can get out of the office early during Tues. its my church day. meeting with God is always on top of my priorities. i do not care what my supervisor say just as long as i have my Tues. in one of my assessment, my former lead say... Edward should learn that OT request is always a business need and he should be careful...

battleship

even from the start, i knew that it is going to end that way. people vs. alien themed movies are like that. nothing new. alien movies such as this links highly technical and more powerful aliens to a basic living thing on earth - this time, it is lizard.  anyways, what's so amazing with this movie is that it also tackles the "forgotten" heroes of world wars 2. i love it! lol! in general, the stunts and effects are quite good. i was entertained by the movie.  i'll this a 6.15. this is from here.

dad's 13th year

it was my dad's 13th year death anniversary last april 5 - maundy thursday. and to tell you honestly, it still breaks my heart every time i remember him. my relationship with dad is not ideal. this can be attributed to what i call as "ideal" person. i grew up as an ordinary kid who sees his dad to be the best person in the world. unfortunately, it ended up with a simple mistake of infidelity. despite everything, it challenged me to become a better person. "i am not my father's second chance", atty. mell sta. maria said in "Relasyon". i think he got it from someone  else but it struck so much. my dad's infidelity issue made me very cautious with my words and what i project to other people. hhaayy... God moves in a very mysterious way. he used my dad's death for me to find myself in...

under on my birthday...

my birthday falls on holy friday. given this, i cannot celebrate it with party hats, cakes and merry making people. we celebrated it in marian hall with ice cream from dan eric's. lol! we were cleaning marian hall and celebrated lunch my neo-catechumenal community - our last lunch before fasting. anyways, before we part our ways, she gave me something. when i saw it, my heart leapt for joy! i love the color, the size fits me and her smile made my birthday so extraordinary. i love it! super love it! she really knows what i want. i lover her so.

the witness

this movie is a Filipino/Indonesian collaboration. the concept is good and the plot is enough for people to think of a good conclusion. however, i think gwen should still attend to some acting classes to improve her skill. her "sigaw" skill is not that good which makes her lousy.  this image is from here. to think that this is an international movie, GMA should have sent someone better than gwen. i think this girl has a good future but she's too young (as an actress) for the project. she is beautiful, yes. but it does not equate to acting skill. story has some loopholes as well. like - to put down the super villain, you need close...

kung andito ka lang sa tabi ko

madalas, kahit anong pilit mong mag-pakatino ay di mo magawa. dumadating ang pag-kakataon na napupuno ka rin ng damdamin na di mo nais. mga isipan na di mo gusto. mga haka-hakang di mo kailan man naisip. masakit ang mag-mahal, lalo pa't ang dugo ng taong minamahal mo ay tulad ng dugo na nananalaytay sa iyo. kapatid ko siya sa ama, ngunit wari ko'y nababastos na ang pagkatao ko. binababa ko na nang husto ang isipan at puso ko. kinakausap ko ang tatay ko sa isip ko. minsan sinabi ko ang ganito, kung andito ka lang sa tabi ko. maintindihan mo din ako... mahirap mag-desisyon na talikuran mo sya. kasi nga di ko magawang magalit sa kanya. naiinis ako sa sarili ko dahil sa kahit anong pag-papanggap ko ay di ko makuhang mapoot sa kanya. hhaayy, kung mababasa mo itong blog post na ito. sana ay...

family betrayal

i love burn notice. the turn of events are overwhelming. from killing, bombing, you'll get some worthy words. it's a kind of show that i would love to watch, action, drama and some jaw dropping stunts. in one episode, jessie found out that it was mikey who burned him. madelaine, being so close to both guys told both of them that... you know what families do when people lie and betray each other? they suck it up and they move on. - madelaine... and it is true. if you are family, you just have to accept people. you don't judge people for who she is but you just have to accept his ways. family is a family. people may leave you behind but family is always there to support you. i love my family. i love my "neo-catechumenal" family. i love my girlfriend whom i think will be my future wife to...

posters again?

you can feel that election is coming when you see some people (both private citizens and public officials) talking gentle reminder trash in the streets. their reminders may look good but they use holy week and graduation to do their early campaigns.  wow! it's just april and here we are talking about politics. let's talk about two of these posters... semana santa. people in media describes it as human exodus (where the hell that came from? exodus? do they know what exodus mean?). anyways, it's a term used to describe humongous number of people  going somewhere else to spend a long weekend. in the picture is brgy. captain...
