While Life Is, Hope Is: Birthday Reflection

It's been four days since my birthday. Like the usual, I had a lot to think about and worry about too. I didn't look forward to it. Although, I kinda counted down the days but its for an altogether different reason, I was dreading it. I have come to a point in my life where I look at birthdays (at least my birthday) as a dreary affair and not-so much as a fanfare.

Have You Made Up Your Mind Yet?

March is coming to a close and before you know it, April's here and May would be toddling along! You might think that the election is still a long way off as the hot weather these days seem to make the hours drag, but you really should be contemplating of who you're going to vote for now, lest your mind become muddled on the election day itself and end up voting for someone you don't really like just so you can complete your ballot. That would just be arghhh!

High School as Told in Anime

I have expressed my love for anime in more than one occasion and though I am not a full-fledged otaku, I can say I totally understand why they get so much attention, so much love and even get adapted to live-action series or movies!

Personally, I enjoy watching anime more than reading manga. Well, for one, I get more into the story that way. (Feeling ko ako yung bida haha!) Besides, actually seeing things / situations pan out whilst they move is better than seeing them in flat, usually no color pages.

It Pays to Know

Last night, my family and I gathered in the kitchen and live-streamed the #PiliPinasDebate2016 hosted by Luchi Cruz-Valdes of TV5. This is the second of the three-series debates spearheaded by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC). The event was organized by COMELEC and in cooperation with TV5 and The Philippine Star among others. This was held in UP-Cebu's Performing Arts Hall and was a battle of wits among four candidates only as Miriam Defensor-Santiago underwent a clinical trial for an anti-cancer pill. Nevertheless, her supporters attended in her stead as they say there was a need to "make their presence known".

Social networking sites (SNS) are still abuzz about what happened last night, the reactions were varied from simply being annoyed to downright infuriated. Though, there were times that that the candidates were pretty entertaining (by) themselves. But personally, I haven't really gotten over the delay. It was supposed to start by 5 p.m. and finish at 9 p.m. but it was pushed for more than an hour and finished roughly at 10 p.m.

Cheers to Friendship!

 My every day life was boring

Until you guys came along.

I had nowhere else to go to,

 But you asked if I wanted to tag along.

                                                  

A lot of people thought we're crazy

They didn't know we're just happy,

In this world where a lot is phony,

A friendship so true ---- oh, how classy!

It's been years since then,

And a lot has happened since.

When we get together and reminisce,

We can't help but laugh like silly miss(es)!

We find ourselves saying,
"Oh, those days were the best!"
We grew in laughter and tears,
Whilst munching on snacks and beers!

Reasons why we came to be
are now pretty clear to me.
You guys and I were meant to be,
To cross paths and teach other how it is to be truly happy!
