Getting ready for change


2009
12.20

A lot of things are going on these past few days. Yes, I know I have not grown fangs yet (but we’re getting there). I won’t be in some place either (until mid of next year). Let’s say situations will be a lot different come 2010.

Change is what people do when they hit some sort of plateau that offers different directions to take. One of these days I might decide not to take the jeepney anymore, because a car might be better. I might even trade off my jeans for free-flowing dresses, grow my hair long, bleach myself, travel more, get rid of those dark circles by getting more sleep…Life is short. And that, my friend, is a reality.

This site has been running for almost three years. This has been my online laboratory where I learned gazillion of things about the web. It was a profitable experience (pun intended) so no way I’m closing this down. There will be some sort of “reprogramming” in the days to come.

Holiday break


2009
12.16

It has been a VERY busy last quarter for me…and I’m already at my wit’s end. While I love the things I do on a daily dose, somehow I realized the need to escape from routine would do me more good. In other words, I need to distract myself from overwhelming mental and physical tasks. Aside from sleep, I need to go somewhere. My uncle Bloody offered his house up in the mountains for my weekend getaway. Hmm. I’ll think about who to bring there. Or maybe I’ll just stay at home and do something productive, like planning for the next year. (Weee!)

I’m down to my last list of Christmas shopping. It wasn’t really a long list. I managed to cut it down to half since most of my inaanaks are far and away, and I couldn’t locate the others. My friends are not that difficult to please either. I bought myself a nice black blazer last week, a pair of Nike cross-trainers (so I can start running), a watercolor pad (because I plan to paint…again) and Max Lucado’s book called “Fearless” which is I can’t find locally (maybe I have better chances of finding it online and go through those Amazon books as well). I also received my Christmas gifts earlier: a laptop case and a bag. Sweet.

I’m scheduled to take a break from work on Dec. 23rd and will be back Jan. 4th. That’s a whole lot of time in my pocket. Can’t wait.

Cory as an artist

People remember the former president Cory Aquino as an icon of the Philippine democracy and wife to the assasinated senator. But how many of us know Cory as an exceptional artist?

They say that after she stepped down from power and resumed her life as Citizen Cory, she devoted her time in studying the arts. As a result, she was able to come up with various oil paintings that either decorated her office walls or made the recipients of her artistic showcase, from drug rehab to cancer advocates, proud.

Cory definitely had the style. Her paintings clearly mirrored her positive outlook in life amid painful trials. Today, as she joins her Creator and her husband Ninoy, she leaves behind a legacy of hope every generation will remember.

This 6-minute video tells about the love of our heavenly Father in a love letter paraphrasing scriptural verses from Genesis to Revelation. Amazing love.

I’d like to thank Wenna for mentioning this video this afternoon.
