On Pain

I have been living in pain I don’t know how it feels exactly anymore. At an early age, I have been pestered by hyperuricemia (euphemized term for gouty arthritis). One, because I am obese. Two, because I love food. Three, all of the above. I would often cry in the middle of the night and would crawl my way to existence because of an ankle swollen in pain or a sole glistening with uric acid. Then I learned to live with it that it became part of my psyche and an affliction to accompany me in my daily wars with trivialities.

It seemed certain, but the road I travelled acquired me its greatest gift–diabetes. I had to puncture my fingers every freakin' day to monitor my innate sweetness, and puncture my self more for insulin. Until I have made peace with my fate of being given an opportunity to die sweet.

I have suffered from the greatest, unspoken tragedies of love that I understand how it is to lose one’s mind because of a broken heart. I surely and completely developed the ability to empathize with those who suffered thousand deaths because of unrequited love. I have almost died of suffocation because I had to feign smile as I let go of a love that is unforgettable and memorable. Then again I allowed my self to survive and go with the flowing river of life like a driftwood, until I bumped on a fertile ground and found an opportunity to blossom peacefully with true love’s blessings.

I have almost surrendered my sanity as I saw my dreams squashed by harsh realities in front of my very own eyes. In acceptance, I tried to be the best of what is left in my futile world. Fortunately, I have experienced milestones and accomplishments I never dreamed of really, but worked hard for to at least live meaningfully. Pain has taught me well. It has taught me to retaliate and survive beyond defeat. It may not coincide with grand ideologies of the dreamers and the wealthy, but it kept me alive and be better.

When things go against our way, we have to fight with all our might. When we are defeated inspite of our best efforts, then we simply have to go with the flow…. or exercise and live a healthy lifestyle! He he he!

Taking the Bull by its Balls haha!

If there's one word that best describes me is this: 'Procrastinator.' I have let time pass me by which resulted to tons of wasted opportunities. I slept through challenges and when I woke up, stupid people have taken their share of spotlight in the world of the academe. Yep! I am the rabbit outrun by turtles. It was only recently that I woke up to finally finish an unfinished business. The thesis which I should've completed 8 years ago haunted me in my sleep. For some crazy reasons, I have not mustered the inspiration to finish it. Maybe because I enjoyed complancency so much that I deemed finishing it unimportant. Last week I returned to the Graduate School to take the bull by its balls! I am going to cut them balls and make a good stew out of 'em! #wherearethebloggers

It's brownout the whole day, so I visited Florence Italy through Dan Brown's Inferno. I didn't spend a dime.... #reading #readingisanadventure

On Perfection

Perfection is a product of human’s discontent. Humans tend to believe on something unreal to feed on their hunger and insatiable thirst for satisfaction. How can there be a perfection when the universe expands every second of the day?

Then, you question the existence of the divine. How can there be a divine when perfection is but a product of human delusions?

But again, we may never know. Perhaps there is a divine supreme being where all things originated from. He is so perfect that he allowed imperfections to shape our existence. He is so perfect that he allowed imperfections to come as form of questions that translate into our quest for perfection.

Fifty Shades of Flagellants

The Catholics are commemorating Christ’s death through holy week celebration. Some devotees resort to self flagellating as a form of their sacrifice and being in one with Christ. They say that they are imitating Christ’s ultimate sacrifice to mankind. For a pervert like me, I find that rather sexual. Blood? Whip? How sexy could that get? Oh but that’s just me and my creepy imagination.

The question really is, if they are imitating Christ, they shouldn’t be whipping themselves. They should ask someone to whip their asses off. Christ didn’t whipped himself. The Roman soldiers did. Something is wrong therefore. As they whip themselves, they become half Christ and half Roman Soldiers. If what they believe were true, half of their body would go to heaven, and half of it would burn in hell. One thing more, if they are really imitating Christ, is it not just fair for them to die as well? Christ died. They should also die. Then that is imitating Christ.

Yeah, yeah yeah! Perhaps your brows are raised while reading this. Perhaps you’re having difficulty fathoming the shallow arguments I have mentioned. Exactly. I know right? My arguments are as shallow as the practice I am questioning. Touche.

Solar eclipse 2015 witnessed by millions

The Guardian: Millions of people across the world will witness a solar eclipse today - a rare phenomenon in which the sun is completely obscured by the moon. Most places will have an obscured view or no view of the eclipse at all, but the sun will be completely blocked out on Norwegian islands of Svalbard.

Farewell Message In our lives as educators we bathe in a profound cycle of ironies--hellos (pl. of the noun hello; the s-form is helloes) and good byes. We are happy for those who made it to the top 10, and sad for those who fell short of opportunities. It could really be emotionally draining, but most of the time it is spiritually fulfilling. There is this what we call 'Thinning Process.' At the beginning of the school year, teachers get fatter metaphysically because of the memories and experiences gradually shared by the students. The joys and pains of the journey to loving the students are quite nourishing that we become so attached with the magic of teaching. As the school year comes to an end, teachers do not notice the gentle thinning process. Yes, the teachers get thin because little by little he/she has to let go of what he/ she held so dearly in his/her heart for one school year. We thin because the banquet of experiences created inside the classroom must be kept inside the chest reserved in our hearts for our students, and try to open an empty one for the next batch. We need to do this to create another space in our hearts for the next batch of learners. Makanan ta mung abie yng lugud kareng aliua nung e ta la naman pagadiang kuartu careng pusu tamu? It may not be too obvious, but I am so thin right now. I will miss Grade V-SpEd batch 2014-2015. Thank you for your loyalty, love, trust, and care! I have learned a lot from you, and you made me fall in love with teaching again. Cheers! Chase your dreams! Carpe Diem! Live a life of integrity, and share your gifts to the world. NEVER GO WITH THE FLOW if it leads to the sea of deceit and cheating. Strive to be better, and never give up! I love all of you! P.S. In 2062, Halley's comet will visit the Earth. When that happens, look for me. Together, we will watch the heavens with smile on our lips. :)))

This woman is my rock.... She is the reason why I still have the courage to wake up every day and fight life's humor.... Thanks Beb! I never really understood the meaning of the idiom 'Wind beneath my wings' until now.... She is just that.... The wind beneath my wings..... #love #myrock #morningreflections

Sa mga Nanay at Tatay ng mga Inaanak ko

Ay, kahit pa parami na ng parami ang pumupunta sa SM o pahaba na ng pahaba ang pila sa Sky Ranch, lahat na lang ay nagbratatatat sa hirap ng buhay!

Oo naman! Kaya nga pwede ba. Paki-usap lang naman sa mga nanay at tatay ng mga inaanak. Kapag hindi ninyo nakita ang ninong o ninang ninyo noong pasko. O akaya nama'y binalikan ninyo ng bagong taon eh hindi pa rin ninyo nakita, ibig sabihin ayaw niyang magpakita! Kaya pwede ba, huwag ng bumalik ng January 2 at 3 o kaya puntahan pa sa trabaho para lang mahingan ng pera?

Huwag na. Lalo na kung sila ay Iglesia ni Cristo. Hahahahahaha!

If I were to live my life again, I would definitely change a lot of things. I would rather have chosen to think of myself a lot more instead of what others think. I would have rather chosen to take the route to a place where no one knew me, and would live a life I'd always wanted.... as a writer? as a choral singer? as a stage actor? a traveler? I should have not listened to my parents because now I know that they are just as clueless as me. LOL!

However, I have made choices and at the end of the day, regrets will remain as such. I have to live with them for the rest of my life as I keep on forgiving myself over and over again.

Good thing, I have my lovely wife who came at the right time to remind me that sometimes, it is not what I want that shall come to pass.... It is what HE (The Grand Mind, God, Ama) wants that must come to be.... Only, you have to let go of yourself.... Take that leap of faith.

It is not what I want that materialized.... Oh but, I am truly happy with the twists of events God had sprinkled on my life.

Now, I know that my life has some kind of worth....

Miss you beb.... Come home really fast.
