Information Overload and Procrastination
The end of August is fast approaching yet I only managed to blog once. This is not my normal blogging cycle here at my personal blog. I usually see to it that I blog at least once a week. It’s not that I am living a very boring life now. I attended a number of awesome events, went back to my hometown and bonded with my relatives from both sides, learned more about business from one of the best food franchise companies in the country who happens to be a family friend and a number of funny encounters are worth sharing. So why not update?
Tuloy-Tuloy ang daloy ng impormasyon. Kaloka lang.
I dunno. I guess I am just overwhelmed with Too Much Information. Do I blame technology for this? Partly. I also notice that now, I am quite impatient talking to a friend or a relative via phone or Skype. I seldom chat with people on my IM but I used to really enjoy it a lot. I can even chat with ten people from different IM softwares and still grasp whatever we’re discussing no matter how these points are different from one another.
The Beautiful Possibilities of Simplicity
Last Wednesday, I went back to Dagupan City (just after two weeks!) to accompany my grandfather and I originally planned to go to Binalonan (my mother’s hometown) and go with my blogger friends to Bolinao for the weekend, but neither of them happened. I ended up just spending most of my time at a newly-opened coffee shop to work on some blog posts and interact with some online friends.
Dreaming of Manila
I am also quite amused on the developments of my beloved hometown. New coffee shops, food establishments, shopping malls, hotels among others are being developed. Finally, Dagupan City is open for some big changes!
Five years ago, I was a student who wanted to graduate right away. Instead of taking it slow and study for four years, I graduated one semester earlier than my batchmates. The reason? I wanted to leave Dagupan City immediately and pursue a career in Metro Manila.
Life Wish – The Edge of Fear and Joy
Death is a subject that most people wouldn’t want to talk about or rather, think about. As much as possible, we would like to avoid discussing it. In reality, we cannot even predict our own death. It is something that we cannot control. There are different types of death, but untimely death is one that gives us too much shock and we can’t even figure out how we can possibly move on.
DO the DanO and live it up... Life is too short not to!
“Dearest Emma, my love for you is higher than the highest of peaks! Love, Dad,” right above where is says “DON’T LET YOUR FEARS STAND IN THE WAY OF YOUR DREAMS.”
- Dan Osman poster message to daughter Emma.
Earlier, a Facebook contact of mine shared a video about Dan Osman. The name is quite familiar, but i am not sure why. I clicked on the YouTube link and wow, this man is amazing! How can he possibly do that speed rock climbing without ropes and safety gear? I then remember that my father showed a newspaper clipping to me way back, but i couldn’t exactly remember if he’s a fan or he simply wanted to show it to me.
#ilovemydadeventhough
Tomorrow is Father’s Day! I have a feeling that most bloggers are busy writing articles related to this special day – whether that includes quotes, songs, gift ideas, poems, movies and so on and so forth. I am more of a Twitter person now and I realized that the hashtag #ilovemydadeventhough is the second trending topic tonight. Because of this, i am inspired to write a random post about my dad.
I'd rather keep this image of you in my mind =))
I will be posting 40 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT MY DAD. I won’t be editing this entry. I will just say whatever i want to say. Why 40? You will know why by the end of this post. Please read, ok?
- Ang pangalan ng tatay ko ay Joseph Arsenio. Ang palayaw niya ay Jojo.
- Ikatlo siya sa anim na magkakapatid. Pero siya ang pinaka-cool (s’yempre, tatay ko yan eh LOL)
- Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, tatlong eskwelahan ang pinasukan niya bago siya nakatapos ng kolehiyo. Hindi naman bopols ang tatay ko, tamad lang. Pitong taon ata siya sa college. At least naka-graduate diba? Read More »
Kuro-Kuro sa Araw ng Kalayaan
Ika-labing dalawa na naman ng Hunyo. Paniguradong maglilipana na naman sa daan, dyaryo, tv at internet ang larawan ng pinakamamahal nating bandila. Buong-pagmamalaking iwinawagayway ng ilan sa ating mga kababayan ang simbolo ng demokrasya ng ating bansa.
Carlo makes his own Philippine Flag
Naalala ko noon na paborito ng kapatid kong si Carlo na mangolekta ng Philippine Flag. Sinubukan ko nga siyang bilhan noon ng iba’t ibang klase ng bandila, pero ayaw niya. Interesado lamang siya sa Philippine Flag. ‘Tila makabayan talagang maituturing ang mahal kong kapatid. S’yempre, ito ay aking ikinagagalak. Ibig sabihin ay marunong siyang magpahalaga sa kanyang bayang pinagmulan.
