You've probably seen this. And it's not totally pc and all... but I want to share this with you. Just to warn those who might not know... the title of the act is "Achmed the Dead Terrorist": It made me smile and laugh. Life is sooo.... weird, and funny! It's also depressing and sad... then again... you can always choose to laugh and smile.

Life's Timing
I am currently facing a sort of crisis right now. Not that big as the other problems and crises I've faced before. Imagine my happiness when I heard my bestfriend (ok, one of my bestfriends, baka may magtampo) is here. YEY! But when we started catching... I realized that life is funny. His problems and that of another friend by far outweigh mine. It made me realize that I am quite lucky. We realized that life has gotten harder. Most of us are not where we expected ourselves to be. We have not lived up to what people expect of us, to what we expect from ourselves. Life is hard. We all have challenges to face, struggles to go through. My burden might be not as heavy as theirs, or as many others' in fact but it is a burden. I write this because I realize that life has a funny way of timing things, of working things out. Just when my life is starting to get crazy, fate or coincidence or whatever you call it bring my bestfriend to Davao to make me see that my life isn't that bad after all. It's not easy to see the brighter…
Disconnected
Did you ever feel like life is happening around you but you are not a part of it? That's what I feel right now. I feel a sort of disconnection with the world, like things are happening around me and I'm too caught up with the different things I am busy with to be part of the bigger picture. It's like there's that great big world out there... and I'm not part of it. I have the life I'm living and all the work I'm doing. I am actually quite happy with my life right now. But it feels like something is missing. It's like I do not belong to the world where other people are, like I have this tiny space, all to myself... a bubble where all that exists is me and my life and nobody can really fully understand who I am, what I feel, what I am doing. I also feel like a fish in an aquarium. Isolated, not with others but seen by others. I'm not a celebrity, but my blogs sometimes act like that glass wall that separates me from the outside world. It separates me, and at the same time, it broadcasts and…
Dido's White Flag
The first time I heard this song, I immediately liked it. Well, mostly coz I liked Dido. But recently, this song has had more meaning for me. WHITE FLAG Dido I know you think that I shouldn't still love you, Or tell you that. But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again And I caused nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again And if you live by the rules of "it's over" then I'm sure that that makes sense I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be And when we meet Which I'm sure we will All that was there Will…
My Day
Today I slept at around 3 am, woke up at 6:30 am. Ate breakfast at McDonald's then went directly to the Sangguniang Panglungsod. Was at the city council session until 12 noon. It was, at times, interesting and educational, but also boring and annoying sometimes. Some questions and statements made were just sooo illogical or simply not well thought of (translation: DI PINAG-ISIPAN!). Nonetheless, it was quite amusing. Lunch break was declared at 12 noon and we had to come back at 1:30 pm. I ate yummy beef stew at De Bonte Koe ALONE! At 1:30 pm, the session resumed, and proceeded with haste until it ended at 2:30 pm. I then went to the office, worked online until around 7 pm, then ate dinner with Kuya Andrew at Caffe Vivere. The Chicken Ballentine was yum-yum-yummy! We then went to Kuya's house to continue working but we both realized we were just too damn tired and stressed. So we wrapped up before 10 am, and decided to go to the nearby K1 Spa. Kuya had an aromatic body massage while I had my foot scrubbed and my face cleaned and massaged. I fell into a brief but very refreshing nap.…
