We Cared at He Cares

The birthday of my friend Dynki was fast approaching when she asked me for a foundation where she can spend her 24th. As a volunteer in some outreach activities, I told her about this one place I have wanted to go to ever since my church mates talked about it. My church mates have volunteered [...]

Bohol Adventure Day 3-4 (Sept. 24-25, 2011)

We had to wake up early on the third day of our stay in Bohol, because we would go island hopping and dolphin watching. Our tourist guide/boatman knocked on our door at exactly 6 in the morning. We did not have our breakfast yet, but the good thing was Kuya JR, who works at Tierra [...]

Bohol Adventure Day 2 (Sept. 23, 2011)

On our second day, we were very excited, because we were about to see the famous attractions in Bohol. For our first stop, we had the Tarsier Watch. Kuya German told us to go around the place for 15 minutes only since there are a lot of places that we need to go that day. [...]

Bohol Adventure Day 1 (Sept. 22, 2011)

Our trip was set on September 22-25 and the 3-month interval was for saving up and preparation for our hotel and tour packages. Weeks before our Bohol trip, my friends and I contacted some travel agencies and [...]

Untangled

Dear Berns, You were always the prince charming in Yani’s stories. You were the determined, the brave, and the funny one. As Yani’s roommate, I hear about you all the time. Yani told me about how persistent you were in pursuing her in back in high school, how you almost fought with Mark John, her [...]

Crash and Burn

  Our dear friend, Bernard, died in a car accident, with our other friend, Elis, last Tuesday. Everything happened really fast. It was 4am when Yani, Berns’ girlfriend, texted me to pray for the fast recovery of Berns. I panicked so I asked what happened. And then she said “they got into a car crash.” [...]

Back to U(niversity)

Since it’s June already, almost everyone is in their back-to-school craze, well, yeah, except me and the rest of the working class. And the lots of “new” in the first day of school – new teachers, new classmates, new friends, new shoes, new notebooks,  new boyfriends or girlfriends? – make them excited. Oh how I [...]

The social network Friendster ends today errr… or maybe not. According to the press releases, Friendster will only be revamped. It will clear out all photos, blogs, comments and groups uploaded or created by its users. Ergo, it will wipe our memories out of space. But it will keep all our accounts, including user friends [...]

Raise Your Hands Up and VOLUNTEER (to get FREE Harry Potter tickets, free FULFILLMENT plus FREE ticket to HEAVEN)!

Part of my to-do list  this year is to participate in volunteer activities. I want to give back to the community, especially, the Christian community. This is one act of service (to God and my “neighbors”) that I want to pursue. Last January, I participated in a volunteer activity in Tahanan ng Pagmamahal, a small orphanage for [...]

JOKEbox SELECT!

April 10 was a fun-packed Sunday for me. After attending my friend’s graduation at PICC and his graduation party at Gateway and being a buzzer beater, I flew to UP Diliman to watch UP SAMASKOM’S Live A.I.D.S. 27: Jokebox Musical at the UP Abelardo Hall Theater, College of Music. With an impending deadline and hellache [...]
