I guess I need to restructure my blogging […]

The weirdness of me

I have this one weirdness. I carry all these pens in my bag. No kidding. Actually, I need to buy new ones again at National Bookstore. As you can see - except for one - they are all nearly drained.
My fetish for pens started when I enrolled at the College of Law. One of the […]

Random thoughts on a lazy Sunday

I AM right now in my daughter’ condo unit here on Ortigas. Been here since yesterday while Gem and roomies are at Sofitel Philippine Plaza for an overnight observation/immersion stay - a requirement for their HRM class.

My symphony

THOUGHTS FOR COFFEE BREAK…
“To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion;
To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly;
To listen to the stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart;
To bear all cheerfully, […]

Learning from pain

It’s a depressing Tuesday. I have a thousand and one things to do, but here I am, sulking in a corner, not wanting to move.

I wonder how you are…

“I love you enough
to let you run
but far too much
to let you fly.”

Unfinished symbol of unfinished tasks
