Missing Ka Erdy

jalex — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 05:34:25 +0000

A year ago was one of the saddest moments of my life. When I have known of Ka Erdy’s passing, I felt so low that I was not able to work the whole day.

Though, I have never seen Ka Erdy in person, i love and respect him deeply. In remembrance of him today, I promise to the Lord our God that I’ll strive for the perfection of my faith, and share this to ALL my loved ones.

“REMEMBER YOUR LEADERS, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.”

SpyGirl (2004) Review

This is supposed to be a romantic-drama-comedy. But I can only agree to what the author has written here. I wasted a full 2 hours, laughing at the wrong parts. Hahaha, effing movie. How dare it took my time.

more than silver

In a few hours from now, i’ll be more than silver.

There are many things to be thankful for – the life, the election, family and friends, and all other blessings. God, how can i thank you?

I want these:

New shoes and sandals [check]
New shirts [check]
Renew PRC and drivers license
Ahouse and lot in PARC Regency
A Honda XRM motorcycle
A Nikon DSLR
A more powerful laptop
A new business idea
and a lot of new business contacts

But, thinking deeper, I will never be really happy with these things. I tried looking at my old notes some years ago, and I wrote there:

Things I want:

A laptop
A digital camera
Flashdrive
Additional hard drive memory
Upgrade my PC’s RAM
Printer
A bench/penshoppe cap
Branded shoes

I can only laugh now. I succeed on acquiring those stuffs, and I was happy. But it was only a fleeting feeling, then I will want more. There is no end to it, and I might end up spending all my time seeking. External fulfillment and happiness is something I can never really keep, as desires keep on expanding.

I realized, I can be happy with the littlest things, as long as I share it. Yes, I can multiply happiness with people I care for. It’s should make me feel better about myself and would give me inner satisfaction. I will forget about those wants for the moment, they will have their own time. For now, I will focus on spreading good vibes!

Thanks for the free coffee, Bluejays

Earlier today, I attended a meeting of Iloilo Bloggers at Bluejays General Luna Branch. I was served free coffee so I would like to thank them on this blog. I feel like going back there when they have free coffee again.

If you are a blogger and is based in Iloilo, an Ilonggo, or blogging about Iloilo, I am inviting you to our organization. We are organizing the incoming Visayas Blogging Summit so if you are interested to learn more about blogging – please take a look at our facebook event page.

I just cured my facebook addiction

jalex — Tue, 04 May 2010 05:56:36 +0000

No medicines to buy. No consultations. No outside help. Simply deactivate the account. That simple. Thanks for that option. It’s like hibernate in PCs.

Update: But no, I think I can’t live without facebook. This is my social life now. Even deactivated, the account could be reactivated by just logging in again. Besides, I use facebook at work.

Long vacation

jalex — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 08:47:46 +0000

We are going to my home province for a long vacation. I’ll be seeing my home town again after more than a year! Long rest from my hectic schedule. How I wish I could do kagebunshin technique so my spare body could still continue working.

We will be going to Malumpati Springs, Pandan, Antique. This will be our first outdoor vacation together as a family. Need to finish some things so I can go out early.

Wifey is back

jalex — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:30:53 +0000

I fetched her from Tagbak terminal, early morning today.

She’s become very fat. I understand. They eat buffet style 3 times a day, plus afternoon and midnight snacks. Of course, if you are paying P6,900 a month package for food, laundry, and lodging – you’ll get the appetite.

She said, she’s still pretty. I cannot disagree, else no bread.

I’m not a fan of copy paste, and there are just too many newly licensed doctors to populate this post. So I’ll put just one.

HONGCO, TESSA VICTORIA VELASCO VIOLETA

Oh, such a long name. Congratulations wifey!

Deprived of sleep

jalex — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:05:04 +0000

It seems now, sleeping is a luxury that I can’t afford.

I woke up at 8 or 9, I sleep at 3 or 4. That’s 5 hours, and I understand that is the bare minimum to be functional. I can feel it in my head – some of my brain cells are dying, and maybe a few days of my lifespan is decreased every hour I fell short on sleeping.
