Ted Mosby is a character from my favorite comedy series, How I Met Your Mother. He is an architect who is tirelessly looking for "the one". He is die-hard believer of true love, wants to build a happy family and live happily ever after. He's an idealist, to put it shortly. He has gone through a lot of relationships, and sadly none of them was the right one for him. In Episode 23 of the...
You know, when you get to pass a very hard time, all you can remember are the people who have helped you get through with it. 2009 was a year full of new experiences; but hey all the academic stuffs seemed trivial to all the other things that I have been through. I think I have felt all the emotion there is in a span of 12 months. And the people who have been with...
2009 unleashed the bookworm in me, and as part of my year-end series of posts, here are my Top 5 Favourite Books that I have read this 2009: 5. Chump Change, by David Eddie David Henry, the main character, goes back to his hometown in Canada after getting chewed up and spitted out in New York City with only a chump change in his pocket. He goes home as a failure and asks himself,...
Just write a comment if you disagree: 2006 was the year of the OPM and pinoy rock bands. Then came 2007, it was Secondhand Serenade and Paramore in my ears. (Or maybe it's just me. My classmates back then loved them foreign bands.) 2008 came, and it was the fall of the rockbands, and the rise of the foreign rnb songs once again. It was the year of Ne-Yo and Chris Brown. But this 2009,...
Vanessa was just six and I was just sixteen. Back in the time when that polka dress of my sister still fits her body, and back when I was still slim and zit-free. Gah I can't believe my skin looked that good on pictures! Oh, those were good times. Unfortunately (or rather fortunately) our camera is broken so we can't take a Christmas '09 photo for you guys to see how much I've changed -- my...
Lord, to be honest I don't know how I will celebrate this Christmas – you know, a lot of things had happened to me. But looking around, seeing my family and looking back to my life, I have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for. From time to time I keep on losing my sight of You and I keep on letting You down but still You're here, still guiding me every time I...
(an excerpt from Life's Work, by Francis J. Kong) Chuck Swindoll tells his unforgettable story about two men and a window in his book, Growing Strong. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Thayer both seriously ill, shared a small room in a hospital. The room was just small enough for them - two beds, two bedside lockers and one window looking out into the world. Both of them had to remain quiet and still, which was the...
Wow. It was one heck of a night. Last December 18, 2009 UST celebrated it's annual campus-wide celebration, the Paskuhan. This year's Paskuhan marked the start of the official countdown to the quadricentennial celebration. As the clock ticked to 8pm that night, it was 4hours and 400 days before our school's 400th year -- then all the glistening christmas lights went on and the party began! 1. Star-studded night.Archie Alemanya, Miriam Quiambao, JC Quadrado, Jamie...
I used to be optimistic and innocent and the world used to be filled with rainbow and colors in my eyes. But now everything is black and blue. And I'm scared of what I am becoming. (1) I have not opened my Bible for months. (2) I have not attended church for 4weeks straight until this Sunday. (3) Yes I attended, but I didn't listen. (4) I don't pray anymore. (5) I cuss a lot. I think I have said...
Ayoko na. Ayoko na. ...
