Just blog…

Just blog… no qualms… no inhibitions… no holding back.

I renewed my web hosting account more than a month ago. More than a hundred dollars for a bunch of websites that hardly pay for themselves — a steep price for all the work I put into them — but I’ve never ever thought of abandoning them.  That’s the pull of blogging I think. Once you’ve put up your place on the cyberspace — the one that you call home — you can’t let go. It’s your identity. You are attached to it and it to you.

Goodbye ate Agnes

It is with heavy heart and hands that I write this blog post, of the death of a close relative, ate Agnes.

She is my cousin, the eldest on my father’s side. But we weren’t really close. When I was still a child, I didn’t get to play much with her because she was a lot older. She is an ate figure to me, someone I respect very much. And I don’t have any bad memories of her. All I can remember is that she is charming, beautiful, very kind and intelligent. She is a responsible daughter and a caring sister to her five siblings.

She died of rectal cancer at around 8 am this morning, Dec 17, 2010. She was young, just 34. She had 2 children, 2 and 5 years old I think 3 and 8 years old. When I heard the news, I felt my heart weigh down in shock and disbelief . I didn’t even know she had had cancer for several years already. I guess I am too absorbed in my own world, and I feel bad for myself. The last time I met her was in her wedding, and that was many, many years ago. She went to the US to work. She is a Tourism graduate and she was sent there to work in the Philippine embassy.

I don’t know why I am so affected. Every time I think about it, I feel sad and my eyes become somewhat teary.  Maybe she reminds me of what is to come, an impending end, the inevitable truth. And I am afraid of it — afraid not for myself but for others dear to me… my… mom… And maybe because she is an ate figure to me — a perfect one that is. I don’t have a real ate (older sister) or a real sister. She is someone I look up to.

Goodbye ate Agnes… I hope you’re happy wherever you are, watching over your 2 children and your family here in the Philippines.

Obituary

Pacman University

This is a short joke that has been running around on the internet lately, mostly in Facebook. It’s about Manny Pacquiao and a university named after him. Of course none of this is true. Everything is for the kicks and luls so don’t get offended. I find it very funny so I’m publishing it here. lol

Warning: Depending on your character, you may find this offensive, not funny and NSFW.

Beautiful Songs

“Beautiful” may not be the best way to describe a song. Beautiful often implies the use of sight but in general sense it may pertain to anything pleasing or satisfying. These songs are indeed beautiful not only because they are pleasing to the senses but also because their themes are about beautiful girls and beauty in general.
