It's More Fun in the Philippines

“It’s more fun in the Philippines” is the new slogan of the Department of Tourism in the Philippine. The slogan received a lot of criticism and even branded a copycat of the slogan in Switzerland which is “It’s more fun in Switzerland”. Albeit the criticism, the DOT is still pursuing the new slogan.

What do you think with the new slogan guys?

For me, I’m giving the new slogan a chance. The simpler, the better.

Simba Gabi has just started

Simbang Gabi has just started but to tell you honestly, as far as I can remember, I have attended Simbang Gabi only ONCE. I went with my grandma at that time. To make it worst, I cannot even remember the year it was. For those avid Simbang Gabi goers, of which I’m guilty of not doing, here are some tidbits you need to know about Simbang Gabi tradition.

According to Wikipedia, Simbang Gabi is a nine-day Roman Catholic Church and Aglipayan ritual novena performed in the Philippines. It starts from December 16 and ends on December 24. Simbang Gabi, means “Evening Mass” is usually performed as early as 4 in the morning.

For some, they want to complete the 9 mornings to fulfill their wishes which I found, forgive me if I say absurd. Simbang Gabi is still a holy mass that everyone, no excuse including myself, should attend to and celebrate. After all, it still a MASS the only difference is, it’s being celebrated at early time.

My Little Earring

I have this little earring in my left ear that has been there for a year now and surprisingly, my mother didn’t noticed this until last week which I found so weird.  She quipped, “Oy, ang liit naman ng hikaw mo” and gave a sweet smile. I know that she already knew that I have an earring since college but it really caught my attention that she didn't noticed specifically this “little earring” that I have.

It’s not that I was offended by it but instead, I feel the other way around. The way she delivered and exclaimed the words are telling something. The way it seemed to me is that she’s implying that I look good wearing it. Hahahaha. XOXO for you mother!


*Update! I lost this earring today! Huhuhuhuhu.

Feeling Emo Today

So I'm writing again. I don't know after reading Gino's blog, I was inspired to write again. So what i'm gonna write then? I really don't know. Uhmmm. Let me think....

Anyway, I just want to share that I lost my interest in visiting my Facebook account or to my Twitter account. I don't know. I just lost my interest to those things. Usually, I was so eager to post my rantings to my FB wall, but these past few days, I completely lost my interest towards social networking sites. Am I depressed? Well, I guess so or I'm just denial to accept it. Then what leads to my depression? I honestly don't know. I guess I'm just lonely about my life. There are really times that you seek more, want more and usually when you didn't get those things, you get depress. I am sad because my house is not yet fully build. I'm sad because I'm alone in my room. I'm sad because I'm single. Yeah. anyway, I've been single my whole life, so why I'm acting this way? I should get use to it. On the other hand, I'm not even looking for a partner nor someone to be involved romantically. It's just a waste of time..duh..I'm sad because whatever effort I amounted to help my family, I still feel that it's lacking. I don't know I'm feeling emo today.

The Reason Why I Blog--again

It's been awhile that I was not able to update my second post. Anyway, since I'm not really into blogging these days, so why bother? So, I asked myself again, why do i blog again? What is the purpose? To tell the truth, you really want the truth? Well I thought that blogging can provide monetary support to me. No..no.no. Not in the sense that it provides a living but only the thought of getting money in blogging inspires me. I'm always been amazed how these so called "blogger" gain money out from writing blogs and I was thinking, why can't I do the same?

The downside is I suck in grammar.  For sure after reading the previous sentence you will now start scrutinizing my grammar. Oh well, perhaps when you read this post, you get stumbled on misspelled words, incorrect prepositions, wrong verb agreements, etc. So i get discourage easily because of these. I acknowledged that I am not really intelligent. Plus, i suck in designing. I know..I know this blog is not kinda eye enticing. But hey, I'm just starting again and I'm still experimenting.  See? The choice of words I used? I always thought that there's something lacking to my words. Sigh.

Actually, my original plan is to have a Taglish (Tagalog - English) posts but I'm more concern to my International readers..HAHAHAHAHAHA. Really, it even came to my mind that all folks wherever in the world this person might be, should be able to understand my blog so I made it in all ENGLISH. Or you can call it Filipino English.

Honestly, I don't really have my own PC or laptop and this is one of the reasons why I'm not into blogging. Anyway, I'm currently building my own house so I have no spare money to buy a laptop. Yeah, all of my monthly salary went to my house that I'm currently building and I'm quite proud of it. Anyway, I'm not gonna discuss it here in this post, I'm just saying that it is if it's not the one then maybe the main reason why I don't have yet my own lappy.

I just hope that when this blog gets plenty of post, I already have my own laptop and when that time comes I can now concentrate on monetizing this blog.

And So I Start to Blog..Again

This is my first post for this blog. For those who don’t know yet, perhaps all of you don’t know this; I have been blogging since college. Oh, I deleted it because i thought it was just too personal that I even blog about my sex life. Yeah, true. And upon reading through it again, I felt shame and I thought that it’s no longer necessary to divulge those lustful sides of mine that’s why I decided to delete it in blogosphere.

Well, anyway, I have created this new blog today and I hope I can post relevant topics and issues here. Well, what are my plans for this blog? I really don’t know. During the course of my work shift, I got bored and since I have nothing to do, I have decided to read some blogs in the internet. I found this site that blogs about books and there I got inspired through it that made me decide to make own blog… again.

I’m not really expecting too much about this blog. Oh well, I will just blog whatever hindsight that comes to my mind. Just random thoughts!
