Why bother blogging??

It never came to my mind why on earth I started out with this blog a couple of years ago, not until I came to a blog post on wordpress.com. So why did I create this blog in the first place? If I am going to cast a spell to turn back time and be the person I was before when I first started out this blog, definitely i'll say for fun and the trend. Couple of years ago, tech life has been living in its peak and online journals or the word 'blog' as the term the trendy and 'it' people calls it were sprouting everywhere. Lots of websites hosting free online journal are coming out, to date there are 14,500,000 hits when you try searching the words "free online journal blog" using Google. Yes, that much hit is returned, looks exaggerated but true. And because im still young then, almost all the yuppies have their own personal blogs and so i said to myself, i need to have one as well hahaha! Too petty right? I know very much childish and immature!

Anyway going back to present, as time goes by, people change and so as their perspective in things. If I am to ask now why do blog, I would simply say that it's my mirror. Through here I can definitely express myself. I can freely say the stuffs that I want to, no holds barred to everything. I can become true to myself without any pretentions. I can laugh and cry without any hesitations. For the longest time now, I've always try to hide away from what i really feel and who i really am. And it is because of this blog, i can open up. For me, its easier to express whatever is in me thru here rather than talk about it. And lastly full of memories worth reminiscing and lessons that are to be learned from... when i don't feel good, i just revisit my previous posts to unravel my feelings.

With blogging, I can carry out intellectual conversations and opinions on everything. Its also a good way for me to see thru other people's mind from different parts of the world. I consider blogging to be a portal of the heart and mind...a plane worth exploring. :)

Proud to be Pinoy!

It is really sad to know that the foreigners recognize the filipino workers rather than our government does. This is something that our government should work on, improving the lives and welfare of the filipinos, giving credits to them instead of just politicalizing. They are considered as modern day heroes, not only because of the revenue they gave to our country but also because of the loneliness and sadness they have to endure being away from family just to give them a good life. They sacrificed the times where they could be with their loved ones especially during the childhood of their sons and daughters.

The article shows how filipino workers abroad are highly appreciated and given importance to their society, like in Saudi Arabia.

In relation to this, i would like to give credits to ABSCBN's 55th Year Advocacy, "Walang Iwanan Sa BAYANIJUAN" in which it brings back the concept of Filipino volunteerism or the bayanihan that will be the core foundation in launching different projects that will help create a better, more compassionate Philippines that will nurture the lives of future filipinos. The first successful tv campaign with the official theme song "Bagong Simula" really struck the hearts of the youth to realize how it is essential for the filipinos to do something about the current situation of the Philippines if we want to preserve the worth of filipinos.

I just hope that the spirit of bayanihan touches the filipinos in all parts of the world, especially our 'Government' , =P .

Cheers to the Filipinos! WALANG IWANAN SA BAYANIJUAN!!! ^__^

The Day After Tomorrow...

I have finally accepted the fact that sometimes things are not really meant for you no matter how bad you want it. It has sinked into my mind now that Watson Wyatt is not for me. At first its so hard to accept that coz the way i see it, it will be a very good opportunity for me. My career will really blossom in Watson Wyatt. I'm blinded by the short term achievements and pleasures, coz with them i will be able to go to UK, but only for the training.

I realized that God wants me to look what's beyond tomorrow, He's preparing me into something I don't know what it is and it's making me shiver in a way but I know, like always, He has plans. I just have to put my 100% trust on Him. I've felt a tremendous amount of depression and sadness, I've cried for a number of nights already and that's enough i've already suited myself up with pity and grief of how my life has been doing.

My last day here at work is nearing, and i don't know what will happen to me after. I'll just have to put my faith in Him and be amenable to whatever He gives to me. I've already asked Him a lot of questions that you could ever imagine, and He just answered me with two words.....FAITH and TRUST.

Like everybody else here in the Philippines, I am also dreaming, wanting and would definitely do anything just to have the life that i want. I want to give my family the comfort of life in exchange for the hardships and sufferings I have endowed on them while they were raising me to become the upright and brilliant person that i am now. For me, no matter what, thats how i would want to give them the token of thank you.

Just like the way i uttered my promise that i have fulfilled now, I am going to make the same attitude of statement that I will definitely prove that I stay true and intact with my words.
