Waiting For My Real Life To Begin: A Personal Reflection In Anticipation Of Year 2009

There are no words for this post. The song says it all for me. Every line is my life spelled-out.
I thank you for the inspiration while I sit here in anticipation of the year ahead... While I wait eagerly for my real life to begin. If only you can be there with me when it happens...

"Let me throw one more dice.
I know that I can win.
I'm waiting for my real life to begin."

I have high hopes for 2009. Continue reading →

Let Me Tell You A Story (Pass The Hat, Please…)

Unlike many girls out there, I never really dreamed of becoming a beauty queen or a movie star. Maybe because I hardly had the makings of either or both.

Unlike many kids out there, I never really dreamed of becoming a doctor or a nurse. Maybe because although I find it fascinating, intriguing and challenging, I knew these hands of mine, caring as they are, will never touch someone else's blood. Not because I dread it, but because fate would have it that way. Continue reading →

Here’s to You, My “Crazy Love”

Let's lighten things up a bit and veer away from the chaos and torment that is Philippine politics.

My dear friends, I share with you my favorite Rod Stewart cover ever.

Originally done by Van Morrison and perfectly rendered by Rod Stewart (him and his oh-so-expressive voice that drives me crazy), "Crazy Love" is an ode to a lover you would want to come home to everyday, do nothing with and yet feel as if there is no place in the world you'd rather be in...and there's no other person you'd rather be with.

A toast to that dream in all of us, to find that someone that will give us "Crazy Love" like no other can. I have found mine. I hope and wish you have found yours too. And if you haven't already, cheer up! There's always somebody for someone and good things come to those who wait. Continue reading →

My Mini-Tribute to The Eraserheads: The Greatest Band of My Generation

One would think I write this post for the sole purpose of SEO (search engine optimization), specially that their much-awaited reunion concert last night, August 30 was cut short when frontman Ely had an emotional breakdown and was rushed to the hospital after performing only 15 out of the planned 30 songs. But no, I did not write this for SEO. People who don't know me and even the ones close to me have no idea how such an E-heads fan I am. And I couldn't really blame them. The Eraserheads came at a "serious" time in my life -- high school. Okay, that's self-imposed "seriousness" for sure. And people who knew me then wouldn't think I digged the music of The Eraserheads (and that is if they even thought I listened to music at all). The normally-most-enjoyable-time in a person's life was ironically the most serious period of my life. Continue reading →

We’re Back In Business, Baby!

Want to read the story of my struggle with the recent WordPress 2.6 upgrade? It's not here. It's on my new blog -- my Post-WordPress 2.6 blog, I call it "The Reformed Blogger" and the exact post is here. :) I would've posted it here but I think I owe it to that other blog to write it there since it's been my sanctuary in the few days that WordPress 2.6 has me heartbroken. If you wanna know if I'll keep that new blog even if this blog is already fixed, well, hell yes! :) I love it there. It provided me sanity and support during those trying days and the least I can do is keep it. Besides, I love the way the i.ph blog is set. :)
