  • Yeah, I'm Not Gonna Make It

    (Cross-post from here.) (Click to view full-size) 27 Nov 2005 2:30pmClose I think I would’ve had a good chance to make it if I had started on time though. :( I’m not gonna stop though, I think I’ll finish this novel.

  • Stand Tall, Shake The Heavens

    Sometimes I can’t help but look back on the story so far and wonder where the hell I’m going. I’m in a pretty good place right now I guess, compared to a majority of people in this country. I’ve got a good job with a more than decent salary that lets me consume the mythical three-square-meals-a-day and pile on a bit of luxury on top of that. But sometimes you stop and think to yourself, is this all there is to life?

  • The Bible Promotes Capitalism

    At least, that’s what I was thinking when I was listening to today’s Gospel regarding the parable of the talents. Bsically, I think the gist of it is: God gives us talents, we should do the best we can; if we don’t, how can we complain when others do better? Yeah, I pay attention in Church. Go me!

  • Nanowrimo...Why The Hell Not?

    I was introduced to nano a few years back when some fanfiction writers I knew online told me about it. I’ve attempted it every year, and failed each time. I just don’t have the drive. I figured I wouldn’t start this year. After all, here I am, it’s the ninth of November, and I don’t have anything, prepared or otherwise, why fight a losing battle right? If you think I don’t fight losing battles, you don’t know me very well.

  • Filipinos traditionally take the weekend of All Saints/All Souls Day off, to rest and to visit their dearly departed. Westerners, particularly Americans, treat this time, specifically All Hallow’s Eve, as a children’s holiday. Given GMA’s penchant for holiday economics, it was evident we would get at least Monday and Tuesday off, and they were indeed declared as holidays, so Filipinos got a respite shortly before the much-dreaded EVAT implementation. Not me, though.
