#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.

Random Thoughts of an Uninspired Blogger
An uninspired blogger is pushing herself to write random thoughts to bring her blog groove back. There’s a dozen of pending posts at the draft section and all she does is write a short introduction, think of an awesome title and clicks the draft button. Nice. I wonder when she’ll ever publish those posts.
Where is my Pocketful of Sunshine hiding? Take me Away!
See, this uninspired blogger is turning twenty four years old. She’s been lazy, unproductive and sad the past few days and the bad thing there is she can’t really figure out why she feels that way. Is it because she’s still in-denial that she’s once again away from her family? Is it because of the sudden twist of events that made her face the bittersweet taste of reality? Is it because of the hot weather? Is it because she’s making too much excuses right now and she’s being unreasonable?
Life and Sunsets
Last week was a pretty tough week for me. No, I didn’t have any direct problems nor caused one. There are just some things in life that you cannot really control. Life is not a computer program where you can debug when you encounter some errors. It is not a full-length movie where you can edit out some parts that you find dragging. Life is a gift that we are lucky to have, no matter how happy or down we are feeling at the moment.
Manila Bay Sunset (January 2010)
I’ve been pushing myself to write a decent blog post or a short screenplay for that matter. I end up trying to figure out what I should be blogging about. I am eager to blog about my UK Trip, but recent events made me temporarily loose that happy momentum. It will be back one day. I just don’t need to force it. I also found some of my unfinished screenplays and I’m thinking of rewriting one that I started three years ago. The story is quite applicable to what is happening around me now. I can impart more justice to my main character.
Homecoming Jitters – Random Thoughts and Realizations
Three months in England. Wow. Is that for real? Yes, I am on my way to my third month in England and sadly, I am scheduled to leave soon. I am having mixed emotions right now. Remember my blog entry about my travel jitters prior to my trip here? Ironically, I am going through the same thing. Now I call it ‘Homecoming Jitters’.
Wishful Thinking
Some of my mom’s friends told me that I should not go here in United Kingdom on a Winter because of the weather. Guess what? They were right! My body is not used to the very, very, very cold weather and I needed to adjust asap. Now I know that Gloves, Boots, Scarfs and Warmers are not being used for fashion purposes only. It is a necessity. It is not even enough to keep your body warm especially last December. I ended up getting colds after playing with the snow when I was in Cardiff, Wales. I literally rolled on the snowed floor in a public park. That resulted to my home arrest for two weeks.
