Errare Humanum Est, Sed Perseverare Diabolicum

To err is human, but to persist, is diabolical.

There's nothing like you and I

This is no ordinary love.
The way you check my page.
You brighten everyday.
With your smile.

It's a blast to know that she reads this blog! Maybe one of these days, she'll read again. It's very nice and it actually gives me more incentive to sputter out what happens to me on a daily basis. Instead of telling a shitload of stories everyday thru an instant messenger, why not post it where it is easily accessible and convenient for both me and her?

So, basically around 3 am this morning my friend and I concocted up some 'lethal' cocktail (then again I ain't that good but hey, it's nice to be a practicing mixologist, right?) with the ratio 1:1/2:1, Mountain Dew, Blue Curacao, Everclear. Made half a pitcher and took it in by a standard double tequila shooter. Thought we would be buzzed enough to cope, but nooo, after an hour my man JV passed out, and I, the man that I was, finished the remaining 1/10th of the pitcher checked up on my wife, then went to rest.

Come 9 am, I asked if she was there (see? I look for her first thing in the morning) and thankfully she was. But what greeted me was a semi-irritated-pissed-off-esque kind of mood. Upon learning details, I found it very amusing that she actually read my should I post. Means that she cares a lot :D.


That aside, I actually don't know how to react when she talks to me in a way that she's irritated or mad :) I find it sweet though, she still makes me go crazy for her all the time. Whether in anger or in love she makes my heart jump. Well, I think this is good enough... For now. My lappy has not gotten a rest for like what? A week and a half straight? And my connection says I've been connected for 4 days 18 hours 3 minutes and 32 seconds. Wow. Might as well give my hardware a rest.


Going to kick ass later.

PS. I love her ;)

Someone I know is...

I was supposed to write about matters of the heart here :D. I'm having doubts since the person those matters are directed to has started reading my blog. Should I keep it private? But that is exactly the reason why I made this blog, to share something. Maybe in the succeeding days we'll see how it all turns out, won't we?

Sich zu irren ist menschlich, fortzubestehen ist diabolik.

We're only human. Forgive my trespasses, as I would gladly forgive yours.

The second time I saw an accident in person.

Yesterday would be something I would remember for my whole life. I was riding a semi-full bus (Thank God) and in the middle of SkyWay traffic, it stuttered, braked really hard, and suddenly everyone is struggling to get out the still closed bus. Then I saw very thick smoke. That's when I stood and panicked. So many scenarios were running inside my head. I don't know if it was genuine shock or a calm and rationale composure, but by the time everything came into order, I thank myself on not throwing myself against the window. The thick smoke was water vapor, and something containing boiling water exploded inside the bus. (I heard it is related to brakes). I don't know, but when I reached the front half of the bus, it was soaking wet, and the driver was slumped in his seat trying to breathe and obviously suffering 2nd, or maybe even 3rd degree burns. He was hit the most since the majority of the water was in his area. Some of the passengers were also soaked and a lady with a very light complexion was suffering from red areas across her skin, obviously victim to boiling water. Man, I don't even know if the driver is still alive, imagine being dumped with boiling water? He was soaking! What's actually worse is, a police officer trailing behind actually smashed into the bus (I think it was a Pajero or a Hilux).

I just want to thank God for not letting me sit in front.

I offer my prayers to the driver and to anyone else who was actually splashed with the boiling water.

3 Steps to Be a 'Hero'

Come to think of it, it's 2010 and I have not taken into account a new years resolution. But coming over a post that in essence, would make you formulate something of a resolution, I thought this a good opportunity to hit two birds with one stone:

Create a blog of my own and create something that I would live by, hopefully not just this 2010, but succeeding years.

This is the perfect opportunity for me, to do something which I have always wanted (publish my thoughts and sentiments in the digital world) and to carefully plan on something that I will do. So to get down to business, I present you with my 3 ways on how I plan to become a hero this 2010:


3. Stop complaining about how the system works and start doing something about it no matter how little or irrelevant it is, for each action, no matter how small, makes a big difference.

2. Stop being a hypocrite, continually advocating for change yet incessantly looking for 'relatives' to help out in speeding up or bypassing valid practice procedures (e.g., clearance applications, licensing procedures).

1. Actually accomplish steps 3 and 2, and maintain it. For what are plans without implementation and what are words without action?


So, there you have it! My 3 ways on how I plan on becoming a Hero, hopefully not just this 2010 but for the years to come.
