Days 8


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’t know much about my grandfather because he was already old when I was still a baby and died when I was eight, but because of the stories of my mom I know so much about him. It’s as if I knew him all my life and that I trust him as a friend. That’s how I feel. I hope that I would be able to tell the stories about our family as well, and when its my turn I will make sure to highlight all the things that I am proud of in my family.

A wild thought would be to make childrens books based on my family stories. It would be all hidden in a discreet story and maybe when they get older the intrigue would haunt them enough to investigate about it by themselves. It would bring them a sense of accomplishment along with the pride they would feel in knowing more about the relatives that somehow they might not even encounter in their own life. One noteworthy person is my dad. He is already dead before we even had kids. So by the time our kids grow up it will be just like how it is with my other grandpa, who died early in life. I rummaged everything I can find when I was a kid, everytime we visit the province. The stories about him were very few so I treasured them more.

I hope it would be the same for our future kids. That is something that would make me happy. For them to know their relatives so much that they would feel close to them even when they havent met them in their actual life. That would be great.

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.

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...

Days 4

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.
