Crave, Binge, and then DIE


4 more days until I leave for Bora and I've been hit with the binge bug! I've been stuffing myself with kettle corn, cookies and carb rich foods. WAAH! Well, come to think of it, I don't really care. I'm there to bask in the sun, to get a great tan, to relax and to have fun with my friends! I've been sleeping extra hours too this weekend.. so nothing gets digested. WAAH again!

BORA BABY!



I am so looking forward to my Boracay trip that some friends from work and I are going to next weekend! 4 days of pure sun and fun! I so cannot wait.

Hopefully I get back with a nice tan.

Psycho Valentine

This is a post valentine's card that I want to send to all the psychos in the world. (I'm not it a bad mood, I swear I'm really not.) I was angrily looking for a picture of a crazy or insane person so I could bitch blog but I came across this and my mood totally changed! I looked at it, smiled and decided to use this instead.

My message to the pyschos who try (but to no avail) to disrupt my life is this:

You are defined by the things you say and do. Likewise, you will also be judged by the things you don't say and do. Though it's hard (being sarcastic here), try not to succumb to insecurities, temptations, greed and envy. It WILL make you less of a person, and it will show the rest of us who are more sensible in nature, that you DO need to grow up, and get a life of your own where you can be free from all this insanity and malice in your little heart.

Be free from your biases, learn not to judge, and try to be a little more aware of your words and actions AND most importantly the implications of what you're doing. You can achieve maturity if you really set your heart and mind to it.

And for crying out loud, fix your effing grammar, geez! Your communication skills are utterly atrocious. If you're attempting to insult others using the English languge (which is obviously not your best language), might as well learn to do it properly.

So congratulations psycho! You've earned a small spot on my blog! Happy Valentine's sweetie!

Perception, Priorities and Happiness


I find myself reflective on this late Saturday night. I am thankful for this week because of all the insights, reflections and learnings that I can now add to my growing list of interesting and staple things to know in life.

My subject is as such because this week, everything important I realized had everything to do with these 3 words. An "awakening" or a "new beginning" so to speak.. (Well, if I must phrase it as such, in an uber cliche way then that would be the best description.)

To be more specific, this week I had the chance to list down the things/people that made me happy, and then strip it down to the top 3 values of my life. It was oddly painful considering that it was done all in the pretense of a rather simple training activity. Nonetheless, it was excuciatingly painful, too real for comfort and enough for me to re-eavluate my life and my priorities.

I attached this picture because it signifies my current battle for work and home life balance, and mainly because it's where my life is right now.

Well, that's that I guess.

The State of our Children





These aren't pretty pictures. But they should have been, considering that the subjects are children. Each year, more and more children are born without food, shelter and clothing. These are the basic of the most basic necessities that sadly, a lot of our children don't have. The infant mortality rate, and the mortality rate of children under the age of 5 are shocking, and beyond depressing. I don't understand why stuff like this isn't on the news. We report all kinds of celebrity activity but very little is reported about the state of our world's children. In today's fast paced, high tech-digital world, we boast of our capacity to bridge the farthest countries. Magnificent technological inventions such as Skype, Google Talk, and Yahoo now allow users from different ends of the eart to talk to each other as though they were in the same room. The communication era is at it's peak... And yet, so little is being said and done about poverty, ignorance, hunger and our favorite, world peace. To top it all off, because of these useless wars we're "effing" having, kids are now getting shot. What's "effing" worse is that our children are now soldiers. They're "effing" fighting someone else's stupid religious war, or fighting for some moron's political bullshit.
It's just not right. It's just not right at all.

Components of MY Dream Home.. (well what it should look like anyway)
I once read that the more you visualize something that you really want, then you'll eventually get it. They also say that the more mementos, snippets, remembrances or pictures you have of the stuff you want, or the places that you want to go to, then it will happen for you.. eventually. I went house shopping with one of my friends the other day and it got me into "dreaming" about my future house. See I'm pretty much a homebody and I really enjoy spending time at home. Here are some pictures of the homes that I like, and what I'd like my house to look like. Out of the dozens that I've seen, these are my favorites. I picked out everything.. from entrances, to outdoor dining areas, pools, living rooms, home offices, kitchens, and up to bedrooms. (I'm reserving a special post for my dream bathroom because I think that people don't really pay that much attention to the bathroom when it in fact is the most important room in the house.) I'm more into the contemporary and modern styles rather than the traditional, ecclectic and classic styles. I'm drawn to style and functionality more than anything, so for me, the contemporary and modern types of design really fulfill those qualities that I think a home should have.

Blah Blah Blah

I didn't really have a witty title for this post, or you know, some catchy phrase that would entice readers to read. I just decided to call this post as such simply because it's what I'm about to do now.. just simply blah.

I'm at home, it's late night on a weekday, some inane TV show on Etc. is on in the background, I've visited my usual sites, I don't have new DVDs to watch, I'm hungry, I'm restless, and overall, I think I'm pretty bored.

Earlier today, I was having a discussion with one of my really good friends about all the changes that's been going on around us and we were just comparing, reminiscing and hoping... Changes are inevitable, and that's what I love about it. Sooner or later, something's gotta change. The waiting time in between though sucks. And that's where I am right now. I'm stuck, I'm in a stupor and I'm restless.

I so want greater and better things, and I know they will come. I guess I'm just antsy from all this waiting, and hoping and wishing... Damn it!

I think I'm burned out with a lot of things, not just work but with everything in totality.

I so need a vacation. (again)
