Quiet time.

I just can't explain what happened with me today. It's just so unexplainable. The feeling where somebody's comforting you. But that person's no way around you but you just feel it. That's His presence. And you'll surely know it once you felt it before. Encountering the presence of God has never been that easy. That afternoon, I decided to go to Tagaytay and spend time with myself. You know, to relax and have fun. I guess. But there must be something more than what I have ever thought of that day. And that is to think, and spend time with the Creator. Of everything. Now, my point exactly. I prayed. Prayers. Is what most people forget to do. Especially when they're down. Lonely. Hopeless. Sad. But here's the thing, I know there are so many ways to escape from all of the realities of life. But spending time in prayer is a lot more different than just relaxing and being on a peaceful environment. What I had just realized is that doing it on a mountain ...

Paramore Thrilla in Manila!

The concert was indeed a successful one. We really had a blast! The energy of the band just amazed me. I haven't known Paramore for that long but I really liked and loved their songs. Sometimes people are just particular with how the music may sound. But for me, music is far more than that. I love the way Hayley and the the rest of the band compose their songs. They have this passion in them that made them really cool with their music. That night proves that they really are passionate with what they are doing. Sad though, Josh, one of the lead guitarist/bassist in the band, busy with his wedding plans. But I really did enjoy the night. With the people screaming, jumping and headbanging (Lol) It was such an unforgettable night for me. I've been waiting for this night for a long time and it did happen. Thanks to those people who demanded them on coming here. Hayley, with the band, find our country very warm with the way we welcome them. And of course, literally, summer is alr...

On the movie Invictus.

I finally had the chance to do a review about a particular movie that I just saw today. This movie indeed was brilliant, for its not only just a true story but it's really beautiful. I'm not really into politics but I find this movie very inspiring. I'm also not really into sports but I always love movies ending in victory. What really struck me the most was how in the world a man who spent 30 years in prison and come out and forgive the men who did it to him and even serve the country that he really loved. It is with the heart of a leader which I believe personally is the secret of a nation's greatness. This movie rekindled my sense of patriotism. I wish most of my fellow kababayan  would see this movie as well. To let them see how important being united in color and creed is for a nation to be great.

Life is what you make it.

I am so thankful with the months that had passed. Indeed, He is always faithful to those who are in the same way faithful with Him. I've got lots of plans though in my life ahead. For I know He's the only who could show me the way to that path I should be headed to. There may be a lot of obstacles along the way, but I never lose hope. For I know that in every sacrifice I make, a reward is always on its way. I am so privileged to have people around who are always there to encourage me on believing myself. I can't imagine my life without them. Friends, former schoolmates, colleagues, and my relatives. What I'm most concerned about right now is on how to use most of my energy on things that would make up of who I can become someday. I know that I already have my job while I'm studying but, there's more than what meets the eye. Simply, I wanna make a difference. But how could I possibly do that. Was it just a career? Like developing people? Encouraging them on wha...

Movie Review: "AVATAR rocks!"

Just saw this movie today! The movie had exceeded my expectations of a sci-fi film. But the great thing about this movie was, it's not only just a sci-fi kind of thing, it has adventure, action, drama, love, you name it. And while I'm watching it, I can't help but think of the deeper thought of every scene. I always have that kind of attitude that in every movie, it's more than what meets the eye! I've been hearing things that this movie was just a derivative to the story of Pocahontas. But I don't really care, it's the way the movie was delivered and it's really worth to watch it in 3D. We had the chance to see it today in IMAX. And it was really awesome. Hope Cameron could produce more films like this. I know it really takes major effort when it comes to producing such movies, but I've been dreaming for the filmmakers here to also learn the true essence of what drives a director to produce a movie like that. I've learned so many things in th...

Tech Review: My Windows 7

Windows 7 is by far impressive. I'd say speed had really improved, and when it comes to its interface, the quality is exceptional. You can easily pull up a program by just simply pinning them on the taskbar. Everything is simplified. And if your computer supports the Windows Touch, you could just simply touch your computer screen to drag files, resize a photo or map or quickly scroll through your files. It also has the feature similar to zapgrab, and its called the snipping tool where you could just get the cutout of almost all images you come across. It also has the sticky notes which you could just post in your main desktop screen. You could also easily snap a window, a simpler way to compare/share two open windows. And best of all, the Windows Media Center was way cooler than any other previous versions of Windows. And the best thing about the PC's that you recently bought, you could just get a free upgrade of this operating system. But the only eligible are the ones that ha...

About the book that I'm currently reading.

Another book is written by one of my favorite authors, Mitch Albom, from Tuesdays with Morrie, Have a Little Faith is a story between two men who shared the same kind of faith despite of their different lives as a person. It's pretty much similar with Tuesdays with Morrie, this one is a true story and the guy whom they call "The Rabbi" or "The Reb" requested Albom to write a eulogy for him so that when he died, he had something to share with the people who shared their lives with the Rabbi. And there's this other guy by the name Henry Covington, a man with a different struggle. With which he shared the story of his life and that how he realized something about what faith can do in every person's life. Albom admitted on this book that he'd left the kind of faith both these men had years ago. And that is why this book is a good read, it's a book about life's purpose; about losing your belief and finding it again. About the divine spark inside u...
