Days 13

Not to sound too morbid or anything, but I just want to think of things that I don't really get a chance to thin about, so anyway. I would like to think about death for now. To be clear, I still dont want to die at the moment. I feel like there is still a lot of things I can do in my lifetime. I want to do more things and I want to make a greater difference. But then there is still a great sense of maturity that can only be achieved by witnessing a significant number of deaths in my lfieteime. When I was a kid, the worst fear I can think about is dying, and meeting death, even seeing dead persons. I feared walking in tombstones and I really dont like looking at dead people. I also hated horror stories (this would probably be true for me for a longer time).  Now, I still do not want to die, for the reason that I wanted to do more in my life. But then if there comes a time, maybe even as soon as tomorrow that God tells me to go with him, I will give up all the things I hold on to the...

I came home late from an intercessory seminar so I will just make it quick. I am an intercessor. Not a lot of people know this, that I recently joined a ministry specifically made for people who want to pray for the needs of others, and I'd like to keep it that way. The feeling of being an unknown superhero is a bit enticing for some reason. It was not my intention to be an intercessor at first. I was not even familiar that there was such a ministry since they are hidden within the community. When I was thinking of serving The Lord, I was thinking of being an usher or a part of a choir, or probably do some admin stuff. Those things I must admit are things that I am not so good at. For one, I am a bit of a shy introvert and my voice is not so special, and probably is still a bit out of tune on particularly high note. I wouldnt even mention my admin skills, only that I have lost quite a number of documents during my time as an auditor. Getting to know the hidden ministry was a bit of...

Days 11

Thinking out loud. With the upcoming school classes and tthe problems concerning it, I find myself remembering the earliest childhood memory I have as a kindergarten student. Honestly, most of my childhood memories somehow were wiped out of my brain that this is the most vivd memory I can think of. That is, waiting for my older sister to finish classes. Being the second child, I had no say in choosing which school I went to --that right belonged to my sister. I also didnt have the choice in the arrangements as to our school bus and teachers. I remember watching my classmates go home while I have to wait for my sister so that we can go home together. I never really understood it at first, all I knew is that I wanted to go home early. There were times where I would sneak out but they will see me and tell me to go back and wait for my sister. I hated waiting even then. I dont remember much but probably most of the time I would just wander off in the playground or in the library. It was pr...

I wonder what to talk about next. Maybe we might as well talk about the most talked about topic these days, that is - the west valley fault. The timing was too perfect for panic. Nepal just got hit by two more than 8 magnitude earthquakes and the Bohol quake was still fresh in everyone's minds. It was no surprise when people started getting scared or hyped up and panicky over the internet. Some people even went out of their way to rally other people from social media to pray for the philippines this early on. There were some people who thought that what we were panicking about already happened and was already on a verge of prayer ralllies and if not for the correction of information they would have proceeded on to create a fund raiser or something. In the midst of this, I am quite thankful that the information was so quick in dissemination that by this time a lot more people were informed and were clear about what to do. In just one day, maps showing the fault lines were already av...

Modern day death note. Nine days in and I cant help but think of the possible topics I can write here just by looking at my previous entries. At the same time, I cant help but also think of the possible trouble I can have. These days I feel like using the internet is scary. There is only a thin line that protects the privacy that you used to abuse when it was still new and everyone was still trying it out for the first time. These days I am so afraid of using facebook for status updates because of the many reports of cyber bullying and the media actually condoning it. When people see something they think is offensive to them, they go into a sharing frenzy to the point that it gets featured in the news, and soon they would even announce your identity in national television. It was so unlike around ten or five years ago. I remember back when making your own website was something that meant writing in code, and you want to try it out in free hosting sites that have a lot of limitations. Y...

I get the feeling that repeating a topic would be cheating. So no more topic about cats or mlm or zombies. Those things may be fun to write but I guess if I allow myself to continue it might only focus on those things. So then, the topic I can think about is the video I was assigned to watch this day. It was about family meetings. I must admit that if I have a family of my own I would want to adapt this weekly meetings. Maybe after church we go to a nice place, have fun, and relax, and afterwards discuss our plans for the week. If I cant afford it then I would have to adapt and just make it once a month. But still I want to do it. Wishful thinking aside, I really do want to have a family of my own but as of the moment I could not find any glint of hope that it would ever happen. They say that thoughts attract things so maybe this is just all in me. Still, there is something that I can implement now, even without kids. That is, telling our story.  My mother loves doing that. I didn’...

Days 7

I was caught up in idling a bit that I had to rush writing for now. So for now I guess the only thing I can do is write until I fall asleep, and well, when you think about it it’s a bit of a challenge now that I can feel my eyes close at the same time. We went to mass this day and I guess a lot of times things aren’t the same as compared to what we are expecting. This day is also the same. I guess what I am trying to say is that maybe I expect too much. But still something in my heart tells me that I should give it another shot and continue on, because what is happening may not be what I expected because it is still not time. But perhaps things are happening in the perfect time after all.  Speaking of what wouldn’t happen, last month I was reading World war Z, the book about zombies. Im not at all scared of zombies before especially since the only time I get exposed to it are through anime and movies, and they don’t really pose a threat until they become dramatically increased just...

Since it’s a weekend, we can talk about our favorite things today. Anime! I did not intend to rhyme this but well, I cant think of a better introduction. Let me give a bit of background about myself and anime. I am one of those “Edsa babies” they were talking about. You know, those kids born in the year 1986, when the people power revolution happened and martial law came to an end. Meaning, I did not get to actually experience martial law but since the event was still fresh in people’s mind, this subject often comes to a hot topic in class when our teachers remember back in the day. Why did I mention this when I am supposedly talking about anime? Well, growing up as a child without any access to cable TV, we had a limited amount of anime to chose from. To name a few, there was the classics such as Cedie, Dog of Flanders, Princess Sarah, Xmen, Super Mario, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. All of these were anime worth watching in my opinion, and at this time Dragonball has not even reached...

Days 5

Yesterday, I started and finished a rather short but powerful anime that is gaining popularity and was recommended to me by a friend – Death Parade. It’s a story that deals with what will happen after we die, you know, the judging of souls. This is the Japanese version of life after death is very similar to our own popular beliefs, that is, they have a version of heaven and hell as well as the king of death who judges souls on where they should go. But I guess they added a Buddhist factor of being reincarnated or going to the void, and the assumption that the arbiters- the people who judge souls are essentially bartenders who create a desperate situation in order to see through the dead persons’s true intention. The story is amusing, I mean, I wouldn’t be able to finish watching it in one day if it wasn’t. it has the right amount of drama for it to be entertaining but then the end part of it was a bit weird, not that it ruined the whole story or anything.  Anyway, the anime made me...

I absolutely have no idea what to write about this time. Yeah, someday I might come up with a better excuse but today is simply not the day. At the top of my mind, there are two things I really want to talk about. The first is about anime and the other is about network marketing. These two subjects I am equally passionate about, only for different purposes and reasons. I will talk about network marketing for now, because I have a lot of things to think about when it comes to anime. But when it comes to network marketing, well, the one thing that instantly comes to my mind is “No”. This does not mean I am negative or close minded. I am open to hear any kind of opportunity. I guess I could not properly explain myself unless I tell what I experienced about it.

Day 3 (remake)

I decided to rewrite this in the same theme because, well yesterday I celebrated the birthday of my two cats Alice and Catherine Some people may say its weird. A lot would assume that it’s not a big deal. When I was younger, things like this may not have mattered. But then today it’s a different story.

When Blogger Just Decides He wont Post your Sh*t today

Well, this happened to me yesterday when I was writing about cats. I was just about to save it when it crashed on me and I could no longer see any traces of it in my ipad. That’s probably what I get when I use my ipad on an app that apparently does not have autosave. Oh well. I put my heart on that one but I guess I just have to do a remake.

Days 2

What to post for the day? Honestly, I am so tired at work that I barely even thought about it. But then that would just easily cut what could have been the longest chain I had in weeks...because I wasnt able to follow up at all. Well, maybe I can just talk about the new LTFRB app about Friendtrip.

When you break promises

Sure, I made a lot of promises in my lifetime. Mostly, to myself. I could not count the many times that I broke my promise to myself. I say it's okay but I am hurting inside. But I can't do anything but move on.
Writing Challenge for May! Try to post any article, anything at all, with at least 500 words in the next 30 days. In order to remove the jittery feeling of trying to make sense of anything. It doesn't have to be related to anything, just write whatever is on your mind. This may or not even be viewed by anyone. The only thing needed is to just write away in 30 days.
