Ketsana aka Ondoy drowned Manila

When natural disaster strikes we anticipate the worst, yet the force of it overpowers our preparedness and well being. The devastating calamities hit South Pacific ring without much readiness and it happened in a row. It was so quick, in just a week many lives were taken.

Where could we run/turn to after this??

The overwhelming assistance coming all over the world to aid survivors of the tropical storm that flooded Manila is more of help. Kindred spirit that is.

Through UNICEF is just one way we could penetrate our figurative sympathy with them. Many of us who follow the deadly situation would like to extend our helping hand. Please follow the link patiently and drop an amount we think it could push the mission. (Thanks)

when rain drops

Outside the rain begin again. We do have frequent downpour and windy summer here. Albeit am used to wet season back home it felt different to have rain around on summer days. It has been weeks that rained which is unusual to the season.

So to put myself in solace I keep repeating the old kiddie song, rain, rain go away, hoping it would really stop. Still the drop gets harder. I decided then to gaze for quite longer to the falling crystalline -like -rain. And before I knew it, I am being rushed to the altitude of nostalgia. I was caught unguarded. False hope envelopes the soul once more..yet just before letting myself fall again into dream without assurance here comes the wake up call...

Thanks FM radio for playing this momentarily...

..Just another lesson to be learned

Gotta move on and not lose faith

Just another obstacle to face

Live my life before it gets too late

I won't give up

I won't stay down

This is what life's worth living for

(Life's worth living for)

I still believe in love....

weighing happiness

The best of laughter comes out naturally when pain has finally subsided. (wink, It’s easy said.) Or am I just ostentatious to what truly emotion holds dear?

That said, I could say, I found the last few months enjoyable, full of laughter and excitement all throughout. It has been busy months aside from the usual things I do. If I feel like running miles, I hopped in into the mountain bike my cousin had given me and ready to shake-off the road. Parties are always around the corner that’s why weekends never end-up boring. As well as thrilling movies are never out of sight so no more room for sentiments. But then again people who are closed to my heart are still the most significant bearer of what happiness brings.

And I’m not just trying to escape the perennial feeling which undeniably wasted much of my time and energy. I do love experiencing new adventures and my guts says am ready to push trough. Although some adventures might be too risky, yet, I think there’s always fun at some point.

Nevertheless, others utter, happiness is generally caused by our own internal state of mind rather than an external event. It’s a great fallacy to constantly look outside ourselves for happiness.

Federer won his sixth Wimbledon title

Roger Federer held up his trophy with Andy Roddick beside after beating the latter in a marathon match that lasted more than four hours on the Centre Court at Wimbledon, Sunday, July 5, 2009.

What a play?! I loved it. It really pays off watching the crowd-pleaser match with all the screams, clapping and jumping off the seat. Great job Roger!

..we are the World - bids farewell

There have been much unending favorable words all over the world we could hear how wonderful Michael Jackson was. He is being appreciated how he changed the world especially music and how he touched lives through his songs.

I could say he is incredibly unique, one of a kind. From childhood I was deeply touched to the message and to the good purpose of the creation of the song “We Are the World”. It’s a beautiful song. And it really would be had every one of us contribute a little to the fulfillment of his dream.

As Janet Jackson put it, “to you, Michael is an icon: to us he is family. Indeed, you are family in most hearts. Farewell MJ, surely you’ll be remembered.


The participation of various artists is pretty inspiring. Well done. I played it over and over again.

make your place kinda bigger

Almost everyone’s catching up some fun under the spring heat as summer still a month away. Thinking what else to do? You perhaps want to consider making your place for a bigger and cooler look to hang-out with. So get started and make your place ready for a summer full of fun. From On the GO.

>Foyer. To make a small entry look larger, mirror a wall or hang a large mirror above a chest or a console.

>Focal Points. If you have a fireplace, hang a mirror above it to reflect light into the room. No fireplace? Buy a great looking console and hang a large decorative mirror above it.

>Bathroom. The fastest way to lighten and brighten a small bathroom is to put a large mirror above the vanity. If your budget permits, mirror the opposite wall to create an even more spacious feeling.

>Kitchen. If your kitchen feels cramped, mirror the wall space between the cabinets and the counter top. This trick adds more light and makes the workspace look larger.

>Closets. Turn a small closet into a computer nook. Mirror the walls, add built-ins, and install good lighting. Your computer room will be bright and cheerful thanks to the magic of mirrors.

..as Susan Boyle sang..I Dreamed A Dream

I first saw this lady on the early news tonight on the television channel I was watching. Right away I turned to "youtube" to see more of it.

Grabeh!! It was an astonishing audition of Susan Boyle in Britains Got Talent 2009. Her rendition of the song ”I Dreamed A Dream” fully blown me and emotions started to enveloped my being. She was 47 and yet still living a dream. (Ooppss, think caught up here)

I listened to her song many times without getting enough of it. Her beautiful voice gave shiver down to the spine while it feels like angels held me high in their arm.

Best of luck Susan! May you fulfill your dream of becoming one professional singer..
Somehow you touched my heart. You woke up my nerves to keep on dreaming again.
