« Previous EntriesToday I Am Thankful, Week 4
Monday, July 28th, 2008A day late but with good reason. How can I possibly let this week pass without a post on the things that I’m thankful for? Esp since this past week, I was reminded of the dreams I had listed down eight (8) years ago. Yes, I have a journal to prove it. LOL.
We all have [...]
Why Do You Plurk?
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008When I signed up for a Plurk account, I wasn’t really planning on using the darn thing. I’ve been thoroughly distracted by my other micro-blog as it is. But I thought it wouldn’t hurt to check the app out.
And then I found myself hooked.
Reasons why I Plurk:
1. Communicate. I reckon it’s a healthy way [...]
Today I Am Thankful, Week 3
Sunday, July 20th, 2008How quickly a week passes. This makes me realise how we often dismiss the fact that time is indeed fleeting. You can only feel it during the moment when you’re thinking about it. You can only look back and try to remember what we have done and think of what we will be doing. Personally, [...]
The Traveler: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Saturday, July 19th, 2008Look up. You’ll see that there aren’t many towering skyscrapers in Ho Chi Minh City, aka Saigon. But you will notice that there are quite a number of tall trees scattered around the metro.
You don’t really need to strain your neck, there are a lot of interesting things to see on its streets anyway.
They [...]
When Good Things Come in Small Packages
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Can you believe how small oranges can be as sweet as the regular-sized ones? Admittedly, I’m not particularly fond of oranges. I’d pick an apple over it any day but I know nothing of the existence of mini-apples. Hence, my fascination with these mini-oranges. Notice how small they are compared to the orange slice [...]
How to Survive Without God
Monday, July 14th, 2008Before you go “Omigod, what blasphemy!” on me, it would be better if you read the entire thing first. That is, if you can get through the first few paragraphs (which I’m wishing you would!) and have the patience to read the rest.
Christianity as a Strict Theology
I’m here to admit that there was a time [...]
The Space in Between Us, Building 429: Today I Am Thankful, Week 2
Sunday, July 13th, 2008One can never run out of things to be thankful for. I’ve been doing my best to acknowledge even the little things and be thankful for them everyday.
And since it’s Sunday once again, I’ve decided to make my Today I Am Thankful post into a weekly thing.
We all encounter people everyday. The difference lies [...]
I am where I should be.

From that moment I held a camera in my hands back in 2005 and saw the photos I took, I was hooked. It stirred an unimaginable fiery passion that I didn’t know existed. I just knew I wanted to keep doing it. I didn’t own a camera [...]
Sit With You Beautifully
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008When you think of life, what comes to mind? Do you have what Milan Kundera speak of as “the unbearable lightness of being”? Or are you completely weighed down by the realities?
It’s easy to fall prey to the need to self-preserve. It only means that you love yourself. You know what’s important. You have it [...]
Universe and U, KT Tunstall: Personal Space
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008Erase. Delete. Backspace. Ctrl+X. Shift+Delete. Wash off. Remove. Throw away. Annihilate. Eradicate. No, this is not a thesaurus.
Just words that came to mind one late July afternoon.
Then there’s the Recycle Bin.
Traces of the things you had meant to [insert verb] from your personal space. They will make you laugh. Some, ones that were [...]
