it's a bird. it's plane. no, it's PROCRASTINATOR!
i’ve decided to run the marathon- next year.
yeah, it’s a bit wussy, but i do believe i would do a much better job preparing for it (and. well. running it) if i had a year to train.
so, dear reader, here is where you come in. *leans in closer* you will help keep me accountable. if you’re one of the lovely teenagers in my youth group, find me, ask me if i ran this week. if you...

i love running. five miles.
if you did not know already, dear reader, i like running. actually, i love it. however, i’ve never ran more than five miles nonstop.
my brother texts me and tells me to run the rock and roll marathon with him. note: he’s already run a marathon, a half marathon, and a triathlon. so, i say something along the lines of “uh. NO.”
“tell you what,” he says,...

monday. 25 January 2010. 8:14 am pacific time. on the plane to LAX.

manuscription.
this is but a forsaken art, a method of which you do not know, when pen, page, and eager heart all fellowship with a verbose soul. my screen and keys cannot suffice or show my anger with hardness of press, but rather monotonously reads “my life” in merely forty-five words or less. so, do not cast your ink aside for this facade of someone you’re not. forget not the instruments by...

remember who you are.
those are some wise words, mufasa. thanks.
i have always thought about that little lion king quote. it could mean and refer to a mountainous amount of different notions.
i have been contemplating about this since christian and i had this heartfelt talk. i was whining about how i was ugly, fat, and everyone is cooler than me. i was being exceedingly ridiculous and self-destructive with my words....

oh, the places we would go.
i’ve seen sand dunes covered in powder red and beige both laced with gold fields of camels with no rider oh, the places we would go i’ve walked aged streets rich with hist’ry on His sons God did bestow this land so blessed with milk and honey oh, the places we would go i’ve seen skylines lined with cities humming, bustling, lights aglow where we forget our fears and pities...

my kind of epilogue.
read this at my funeral: mi último adiós by jose rizal.
pretty much cried when i read it.
i wish i could understand dogs.
lisaplvu:
Then I would know why my dog has been whining all night! I’ve given her food, treats, I played with her, massaged behind her ears, let her go out to do her business… and she’s STILL whining!! I don’t know what to do!
your dog is just lonely. my golden, riot, used to do that when we first got him. i realized that i had done everything that i could possibly do and he wouldn’t let...

alanagwenelle:
I guess it’s self explanatory. When someone likes you, it’s likely that you’re gonna like them back. Why ? Because they like you. Because this person acknowledges you. Right ? Therefore, you start talking to them more, trying to get to know them more. Not all because you want to be friends, but also because you want some kind of “thing” with them. Because they like you...

the ayala museum of awesomeness.
it’s been thirteen years since i’ve last visited the ayala museum. i vaguely recalled their famous dayoramas. only vaguely because last time i went i had a crush on marti juan, so i followed him around like a creeper. (he probably already knows this. if not. surprise!) so, yeah. soooo, i didn’t learn much from the dayoramas at age six.
since then, the ayala museum has come a...

the importance of being honest.
honestly, ask anyone in my youth group, anyone in my small group of friends, and anyone in my family, i get a bit sardonic when it comes to relationships. i can get pretty arrogant and very satirical about the whole dating thing. not because i’ve had bad experiences with the dating realm [i actually have absolutely no experience], but i’ve seen the heartache, emotional trauma, and...

clementine: you said "i do" - i guess that means we're married.

babababaguio.
for the last few days, my family + grandparents + (- married brother) and i have been in baguio. baguio has definitely changed since the last time i was there. what was once very clean, relatively spacious, and complete with functional parking systems, is now just (merh-ish) clean, exceedingly crowded, and complete with no parking anywhere. nevertheless, the weather is wonderfully cool and...

birth choice.
This is my story.
In the fall of 2009, I was required to volunteer alongside any organization or community service in order to graduate. I was assigned to Birth Choice, an organization with its heart set on saving women and their unborn children from the terrors of abortion. I did not mind volunteering at such a place for only two hours every week doing administrative work like filing papers or...
