Litratong Pinoy: Ako

I am not expressive and this is the reason why most of the people who knows me thinks that I’m emotionless. Ngunit may isa sa kanila na nagsabi na kung titignan lang daw ako sa aking mga mata ay mapapatunayan nila na hindi iyon totoo.

Mahirap talaga magsinungaling ang ating mata. Marahil iyon ang dahilan kung bakit sinasabi ng iba na ito daw ay ang bintana sa ating kaluluwa. The eyes not only see, it also shows.

Ito ang aking lahok para sa Linggo ng Ako ng Litratong Pinoy. Maligayang Huwebes sa inyo at kita tayo sa mata sa Sabado.

My Final Quest

I was blessed this year to be able to acquire some gadgets I want. However, the sad part of human nature have taken hold of me… wanting more. I am on another money saving quest and this time, it’s for a laptop. I promised myself that after this, I’ll be happy and I will stop buying things and start saving.

God willing, I’ll be able to come up with the money by November in time for my friend’s return from his work in Hong Kong. He said that laptops are much cheaper there compared here in the Philippines. Worst comes to worst, there will always be a next time. Wish me luck!

Asking for Mountains

“Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said.” (Joshua 14:12)

Caleb’s faith in God never wavered though everyone around him doubted. God convinced Caleb that the children of Israel should enter the Promised Land, but the people were intimidated by giants and fortified cities (Num. 13:28–33). Their disbelief forced Caleb to wait forty years in the wilderness before he finally entered the Promised Land. Even after all those years, Caleb was as confident as ever in God’s power.

Antonio Banderas - Oh What A Circus

I almost fainted upon learning what KotsengKuba decided to select for this month! It even drove me to ask for his mushier selection. Lolz. But I guess no matter how much we want to shun from politics, we need to be aware as this affects our lives.

TGIF Presents: KotsengKuba’s Selection For SONA

I wasn’t really fond of the movie-musical Evita until I dug really deep into each song’s lyrics. This is the best. I can’t help but laugh at how they poked pun of politics. Truly, politics is the art of the impossible. ~ KotsengKuba

Evita traces the life of Eva Duarte (later Eva Duarte de Perón) (Madonna) from a child from the lower class to becoming the first lady and spiritual leader of Argentina. Early in the film, Eva is seen as a small girl attempting to attend her father’s funeral in the town of Junin with her mother and siblings. But her father’s wife and other family (who are middle class) ban Eva’s family from entering and carry Eva out screaming after she runs in on her own. Read more…

Litratong Pinoy: Dalampasigan

Isa ito sa mga espesyal na larawan para sa akin. Marahil dahil nung panahon na kinunan ko ito ay malimit kong maramdaman na ang buhay ko ay parang patangay lang sa agos. Ito ay maaaring masama o mabuti. Depende na sa pang-unawa ng taong makaririnig nito.

“Life is like the surf,
so give yourself away like the sea.”

Ito ang aking lahok na larawan sa Linggo ng Dalampasigan ng Litratong Pinoy na kinuhanan sa dalampasigan ng Coco Beach sa Puerto Galera noong taong 2006.

Plight Of My Flights

We were asked by my employer to get our passports five years ago. We were having a new product then and by fate, one of us had to go to Japan to assist in the phase-in. Sadly, now at the point of expiration, my passport didn’t even had the privilege of being stamped.

Hope rekindled when my sister said that she’ll be coming home this December and wants our family to spend Christmas in Hong Kong. But with the recent change in her plan means that the vacation will have to take the back seat for now.

I think I need to plan for my own travel. Hopefully next year, I have enough savings to see BKK. God willing.
