It's the end of October and the tradition of remembering those who have gone before us is here again. Come to think of it, there are many of them this 2009. My uncle finished his race of life this year. So did Cory Aquino, Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett and Kim Dae Jung to name a few. And, who would forget the flock who moved on through several forces of nature that manifested this year? Indeed, I think 2009 will be one of the "deadest" time in history. But it's not something that we should be sad about. Let us be reminded that each of us has a purpose in this life, each race to run, each life to live. Once it's done, it's the end of the line. We move on. It may be hard to grasp the rationale behind it but let us not waste time comprehending something we will never understand. Only God knows! As we remember then those who died this year and in the past, let us look also into our lives and see how far we've ran our race and how effective are we in f...

MANILA - Facebook users beware. Psychologists are now probing a new kind of addiction called Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD). Psychologist Dr. Michael Fenichel, who has published numerous writings on FAD online, describes it as a situation in which Facebook usage "overtakes" daily activities like waking up, getting dressed, using the telephone, or checking e-mail. "The amazing thing is that, like cellphones, nobody seems to notice the vast amount of time and energy - at work, at home, and now while on the move - people are devoting to Facebook. It has become a given," Fenichel writes in an online post titled "Facebook Addiction Disorder- A New Challenge?" FAD could be classified under the more broad "internet addiction disorder" or internet overuse. Academic papers have already posed theories on internet addiction and social networking addiction, and even less, cellphone addiction. "Like most activities, moderation and inte...

Yesterday was my wife's birthday- A happy day indeed; With all the blessings, God really supplies our every need! God made this beautiful being, To be my perfect wife; I believe it is the greatest thing, That happened in my life! Five wonderful years two beautiful kids, What more is there to ask for than just give praises to our Lord.

This is my first post for the month and I can't help but write about the 3 most popular words in Manila these days;Ondoy, Baha and Pepeng. I was stranded in Cubao last Saturday night after the onslaught of Ondoy. Our humble abode was expectedly flooded and I was home on Sunday in time for the clean-up. Ondoy was really devastating and everyone was caught unprepared of his wrath. Whether it was caused by global warming or just plain carelessness of the urban folks, what happened made us realize how helpless we can be when nature gets back at us for all our lackadaisical ways. "Baha, baha"everywhere! I am not new to being in a flood prone area. I spent almost 20 years in a compound in Quezon City where moderate rainfall results in flooding. Now that we're living near Espana, the more it became a common sight to me. And now, Pepeng... Why do I feel that this typhoon will not be that bad as expected. I am biased by the fact that when PAGASA says there's ...

Today is a 'big day' for me. What happens today will spell much of my tomorrow. As always, I leave it all up to the Lord's will. Dear God, I am full of wishes, full of desires, full of expectations.. Some of them may be realized, many may not.. But in the midst of all my satisfactions and disappointments, I hope in you. I know that you will never leave me alone and will fulfill your divine promises.. Even when it seems that things are not going my way, I know that they are going your way and that in the end Your way is the best way for me! - Henri Nouwen

This is a beautiful song that is very apt to my 'moving on' to the next chapter of this life. It affirms my principle that it does not matter how time flies, rather, it is what I have done with every moment of those times. Time by Billy Porter What is time? Is it the autumn leaves that change? Or the snow that floats from the sky What is Time? Is it the air we breathe? Or the wings that teach the new born bird to fly? Who can tell? I don’t know Will we change? Will we grow? What is time? Is it eternity in heaven? Or just a hope for peace on earth? Where’s the time? Gone in a blink of an eye But with every blink a birth... We live We learn We love In time We give We urn We grow In time Time for change Its time to care It’s not too late Don’t despair Reach inside your heart To find the joy and love To share with all mankind For all we know All we have Is time...
