All this time I always thought that Filipino romantic movies are corny, trite, and unoriginal…overall crappy.

    I really can’t believe how such a crappy movie made me cry. I shed no tears yet I felt my heart was throbbing in pain. ◄Continue reading…

    I had the worst day of my life today. Just when I needed comfort, there was none. Just when I needed a shoulder to cry on, there was none. Just when I needed a hand to hold on to, there was none. Just when I needed assurance that everything’s going to be alright, there was none. ◄Continue reading…

    I really don’t know what came into my mind why I got myself into this kind of hobby; because it is rare, exotic, creepy, and not for the faint-hearted perhaps? Or for one reason I don’t know, I just love it. It’s quite a long time since I engrossed myself into this hobby and it’s very addictive. I’m pretty sure this hobby is very unlikely, especially for girls. Who would want to pet a big-hairy-creepy-crawly anyway?
   Well… I do. I am an elfin female, and with one fleeting glance at me you’ll never know that I own some of those enthralling little creatures labeled as the fearsome eight-legged freaks… the tarantulas! 

    Creepy and odd as it seems, I actually have a few of them. In fact, I still want to have more if only my budget allows me. I’ve already spent a fortune with this hobby, but for now I am on hiatus with my tarantula buying spree. Tarantulas can be very costly. But no matter how expensive they get, take this from me… the money spent is all worth it. Shown in the pictures below are my sub-adult tarantulas. ◄Continue reading…

    I believe the whole country or at least majority knows of the news about Mariannet Amper, a 12 year old girl from Davao City who committed suicide last week. A diary was found in her room, and there it was written how she laments further on her family’s piteous situation. It was all in the news, so I don’t think I’ll have to go further about this. 

    This tragic incident serves as a wake up call for the government and everyone else, including the “non-existent” people as well. It reminds us that we should all be contented with what we have. It teaches us to STOP whining and complaining about our very insignificant everyday “crisis”.

    What I’m trying to say here is that… ◄Continue reading…

    I came home tonight from a funeral wake of my friend who passed away three days ago. I wasn’t expecting, not really. He’s young, he’s fine and suddenly he was taken away. So many questions about death randomly spurted inside my head. But no matter how much I wring my thoughts, it only leaves one answer… ◄Continue reading…

It’s a fine day Sunday. But I’m getting very mushy right now, I really don’t know why. I thought I am already over those schmaltzy love stories and videos that have been circulating over the internet, but I was wrong.

First, I came across this story again, Send My Love to Heaven. It has been one of my favorites. I’ve read it a lot of times since I was in high school, and up until now, I can’t help it… another tear rolled down my cheeks as I was reading it.

The story is not originally mine, but I really want to share it with you guys. This is just a short story, but it’s kinda long for a blog. But it doesn’t matter because it’s really worth reading… over and over again. ◄Continue reading…

    After our cheerdance practice at school, I was supposed to go home directly because I feel so weary and almost worn out. But for some reason I can’t explain, I decided to walk along on the other path with two of my friends who happen to be in the squad too. Along the way, they stopped at a bulletin board and read one of the posters displayed. Intrigued, I went reading with them too. I got thrilled when I found out that it was actually a nationwide photography and creative writing contest. Just for experience and plain fun, I did not hesitate nor did I have second thoughts of joining the photography contest. Besides, there’s nothing to lose.

    Well, that’s how it all begun. ◄Continue reading…

This is just a forwarded message through my email. I have no idea who originally wrote this one. This might be old, but I can’t help it. I just want to share it with you guys because it’s so effin TRUE!

In the Philippines…

   Yesterday, it has been decided that the AdDU Panthers Pep Squad will join the PNSA (Philippine Nursing Students Association) cheerdance competition which will be held on the sixteenth of this month. You’ve read that right, that would be in less than t-e-n days! Oh nuts, we’ve gone insane. New steps, new routine, and we don’t have a uniform yet, how do you think are we going to make that in ten days?

   Actually, the squad has already decided not to join the competition because we we’re informed late and the rival schools are already at least halfway on their routine. Magkakalat lang kami doon kung ipupush-through pa namin ang competition. Plus, ◄Continue reading…
