BELONG

2012-09-02T23:02:00.000+08:00

Just for once, let me feel that 'I BELONG'

I wanna be in a place where i feel like home

I wanna feel the warmth just like them song

I wanna have someone that I can call my own.

No one belongs here more than you

here in this inner chamber of my chest

at least you know you have got a place

a place in where you BELONG.

I feel heavy on the inside. I just wanna let it all come out in a way i know best. This short poem is dedicated to all of you who feel you are in need of the so-called 'BELONGING-NESS'. Well, welcome aboard mate!

That is it for now! Ciao! XX

Something WORTHWHILE that I MISS...

2012-04-05T10:04:00.000+08:00

If there is one thing worthwhile I miss doing, that would be 'BLOGGING'.

Yes, blogging! The times when you have something to share --- encoding then publishing, the times when you have received an outpouring number of comments waiting for your replies, the times when you have nothing left to do but to 'blog-trek' other blogs, of course, and those times when you feel you need to be creative with your blog are the things I miss the most!

Since the time I first landed on BlogSpot, I knew immediately that this is what i need to do for a lifetime --- well, to spare my vacant time for the least. I started posting write-ups, may it be a short novel or a poem, which got me hyped due to the lovely complements i received in my comment box. From then on, I was inspired to do so.

I may not be the greatest grammarian or someone who takes blogging as his profession, but as i read blog posts, inch by inch, I always learned something new which helps me improve the necessary skills i need to refurbish. As what George Siemens said, “Blogging is best learned by blogging…and by reading other bloggers.” As long as you know how to think, you can blog. :)

See y'all for now, and I hope you appreciate my blog.

SAYONARA!!!

2012-01-31T22:08:00.000+08:00

For the past couple months, I’ve been posting things like “I’LL BE BACK!”, but not a thing did happen. Probably because I am too preoccupied with my studies lately and that I am always stressed and haven’t got an inspiration to write about. The former is right but I have stood myself corrected.

Ever since I’ve had my ‘VACATION’ from blogging, a lot of heartwarming and overwhelming comments and emails had been saying that they had miss me and they want me back. These are definitely the things i need to write about, my inspiration. Thanks guys for the love that you have given me in this industry. Blogging is like an art of letting out stress away. Anyways, I will be firm on what I will say.

Sooner or later, Joross of Definitely Me will definitely come back to dethrone those who stole my crown.

Hit comment guys please :)

Passion-driven Career Path

2011-11-03T19:30:00.004+08:00

"InfoTech isn't hard at all. As long as your passion-driven with it, then everything will go smoothly into place."

That's what I answered when my Aunt asked me about the course I have taken and the level of its difficulty, with much dignity. And Yeah, that's what inspired me to publish this post. It might not be timely for enrollment for college is still far ahead but who knows?

Seniors have a lot of thinking to do when it comes to choosing the career path to take. It is so much important that making this BIG DECISION will mold and lead them to their aspirations and goals in life. The big factor that influences the success is on the COURSE to take.

Remember, when you were still a child, and people would ask you "What you want to be in the future?" Words like Doctor, Engineer, Teacher, Business Man or even President would come out from your mouths. The funny thing is, only a few people would stick to what they had said and eventually would choose a career far-way off than they have imagined. And another fact, mostly those who were successful in life are those who stick to their promises.

Straight to the point, it is passion that drives us to success. Here's a scenario. Imagine yourself with a bachelor's degree you were forced to take. You always failed the quizzes on subjects under that course, you aren't inspired to go to the university as days go by, and much worse, you are stressed more than ever. Meanwhile, with a course you really are passionate on, you can never encounter those type of things. Simple as that.

And that leads us to the conclusion. It is not mere luck or peer and parental pressure that will help you attain the golden cup of your journey but it is the passion inside you, the fire and the love you have for the career you wish to pursue. So if you have senior friends who are wishing to go to college, don't hesitate to ask them what there passion really is.

Halloween 101: VAMPIRES

2011-10-28T22:56:00.002+08:00

Four days more and Halloween will soon kick-off.

For some, it will be their most anticipated night ever but we cant dispute the fact that there are HUMANS who are afraid lurking out all night trick-or-treating or even watching or hearing those bloodcurdling creepy stories. Well, you came in the right place --- HALLOWEEN 101.

HALLOWEEN 101 features some of the scariest creatures ever imagined by defining them and by giving some helpful tips to help you stay away with those creatures. Five creatures to feature means five days of HALLOWEEN in my blog.

(BUT BE WARNED! Monsters are everywhere and they can be Dangerous!)

VAMPIRES

Vampires are undead persons. This means they appear to be dead but in fact they are half-alive, or not, as the case may be.

They can live forever but can only go out night as being in daylight is harmful to their health (disregard the thought of Twilight Vampires). They replenish their thirst by sucking blood from creatures, and those that have been bitten will turn to vampire and shall live forever. So watch out if you ever see a vampire sucking a lollipop because for sure that sweet will have bat-like wings and roam at night to suck other lollipops as well.

Vampires are able to turn into bats. Bats are those cave-dwelling flying animal with a sort of black-colored fur.However, there was this one stupid vampire who turned himself into a cricket bat and was badly bashed up for two innings by the cricket team in England. The batsman was surprised to see his bat turned into ashes (since it happened in daylight).

Vampires have strange-sounding-names like Count Rekcusdoolb. (Clue: spell it backwards and if ever you knew someone with a name when spelled backwards sounds like this, then beware!)AAAAAARGHHH!!!

HOW TO DEAL WITH VAMPIRES:

To get rid of a vampire it is best to hammer stake through the vampire's heart(Note: this is best done when they are asleep)

To turn them into a pile of dust, use the following:

hammer stake

a crucifix
garlic
water
mirrors
having their heads cut off
school dinners (well, even human can't avoid being turned into ashes with these things)

So their you have it! You now know how to deal with these ugly smelly vampires. But still, if you ever suspected someone or him/her on the street, the best alternative is to...

... RUN!!!!

HAVE a CREEPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I am DEFINITELY BACK!

2011-10-23T14:04:00.002+08:00

"I don't know why I'm frightened. I know my way around here...Yes, a world to rediscover, but i'm not in any hurry and i need a moment."

-Barbara Streisand, "As If We Never Said Goodbye"

It has been months since I made my last post. I have been preoccupied on concentrating on my studies that I lost track on sustaining my blog. But now that the first semester has ended, well, let us see if i still be losing on my track.

Heck, Yeah! I'm definitely BACK!

There is no disputing that there have been a lot of changes. Just like Blogger, modified from the layout to the user-interactivity. And don't rep 'cause I LOVE it. There are also a lot of new inspiring bloggers on the block, and that means a lot of catching up to do for me. Lastly, I changed the layout of my blog as well ( and I hope you like it ).

There goes, the end of my come-back speech. I can't wait to post new contents on my blog. See you soon!

"I don't want to be alone. That's all in the past. This world's waited long enough. I've come home at last!"

Im at loss for words right now.

But, I think, the best remedy would be to express what I felt in a song.

"Your Song" originally by Sir Elton John and revised by Cameron Mitchell. I present the two renditions of the song. Hope you will love it.

I dedicate this to all of those who has secretly loved someone yet haven't got the strength to confront the person he felt for.

HERE GOES...

YOUR SONG by Elton John

YOUR SONG by Cameron Mitchell

Lyrics

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

NEGLECTED

2011-07-03T20:00:00.001+08:00

ALONE.

I feel I have no space here in this world. I always feel alone. I feel out-of-place. I feel I have no role to portray in my life. I feel misunderstood by people and even friends. Lastly and mostly, I feel neglected.

For the past 17 years, i am hunted by these social and emotional pain. I have been carrying these for all these time and I see no halt to it.

I’m having a hard time finishing this post. I mean honestly, it kinda made me emotioal, thinking of those moments when I feel alone and rejected. That’s how I personally thought of what the society thinks of me. It makes me feel vulnerable by people whom who look up to me at some aspect. I know that this post is kinda of a personal matter which mostly people would not likely to share it with someone especially with the setting I am in --- the Information Superhighway which I knew that many would read this post. But who cares! This is my blog and this is what I feel.

I know myself or maybe not. Im not that emotional guy who bumps onto any person and would tell him what he feels. I am more like a reserved guy who protects my inner me cuz I am afraid to show my vulnerability to others for I might be used and abused by it. Yes,I think too much…

It hurts me finishing this post. I just recently found out, I don’t know who I am. But I know for sure I am neglected.

I hope you understand for the messy transition of paragraphs. I am sorry. I have never seen this side of me. This is new. I know some friends of mine might read this. I will be embarrassed, yes, but I don’t care more than that.

I hope to finish and finalize this draft to post. Why then am I posting it just now? It is because I want others to feel that they are not alone.

Let me end by quoting a line of a song:

“There’s nothing you can say. There’s nothing you can do…Keep holding on, cause you know I’ll make it through, I’ll make it through”

IM BACK!

2011-07-02T12:07:00.000+08:00

I'M BACK!

Oh, how I miss blogging. Writing posts with varying themes and reading other posts while commenting. AaH! The pleasure of it!

I have not blogged for 2 weeks now and its hunting me. Blogging has been my form of recreation and a therapy as well. It has made me feel not alone and happy for some aspects.

So, I guess see you soon and be right back! I'm gonna make a post right now!

First Day of Class!

2011-06-21T17:24:00.000+08:00

Gone are the days filled with boring unanticipated sessions in my room.

Summer days are up and school days are down. Now lies ahead the restless, eye-bagging nights filled with emotional and physical pain. Well, that's a college life fact and I can't dispute that reality.

First day of class isn't that stressing. No lectures, no quizzes, no scribbling down notes (except my Programming and Integral Calculus class) just pure pleasure of embracing the ambiance of the school. But I know, few days from now, hell will start to dominate my nerves.

My real intention of this post is to remind me that "BLOGGING" will be a priority less down my studies. I really can't promise to post haggardly every week --- unlike the past few weeks.

So, I might say bye for now (though I'll still be visiting blogger for quite some time). Thank you for sparing a minute in hopping on my blog. I really appreciated it and felt honored to have friends/readers/blogger like you. :)

Ciao for now!

Grateful for --- TEETH :D

2011-06-18T11:27:00.000+08:00

This week has been a death-defying week for me EVER.

Well, maybe I exaggerated it too bit. But the truth is, ALMOST.

For those who had read some of my posts lately, I'd been mentioning about having my tooth uprooted. It's quite a life-changing moment for me filled with morals to live with for lifetime.

So, this week, I'm grateful for ---

My teeth.

It is such a blessing to be graced with healthy, strong teeth. With a healthy teeth, comes a great smile that boosts the confidence and ego of a person wearing the grin. But we sometimes forget that our teeth has life of its own. We tend to abuse it, not caring for the proper sanitation of our teeth. Decayed tooth, swollen gums, bleeding tooth, plaque are some of the signs that we are not taking the proper care of our precious teeth.

That is why this week, I'm grateful for my teeth cuz it shows my personality thru smile. And just this week, I took action of taking care of my teeth by uprooting bad ones and had some cleaning done. :D

What are you grateful for this week?

*This post is in response of Maxabella's blog hop :)

Nothing Much Thursday

2011-06-16T23:22:00.000+08:00

My cheek is swelling due to the uproot-teeth-operation last Monday. If you haven't read it, here is the link to it.

I can't strain myself much so I'll make this post short and apt. I dedicate this to all of those who suffered from extreme hurdles of life yet they somewhat succeeded. Kudos to you!

“Come forth into the light of things. Let nature be your teacher”
- William Wordsworth

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined”
- Henry David Thoreau

- Henry Fielding

Open yourselves to the world full of possibilities and be inspired to it :)

Tooth Uprooted!

2011-06-15T17:43:00.000+08:00

This was probably the best and yet, probably, the worst case scenario ever that had occurred in my whole life.

I had a tooth uprooted years ago and just this Monday, it feels like it was my first time.

So here's what happened.

I woke up feeling dizzy from sleeping late and early at the same time. I already knew what to expect. With full of love and support, my Pa and Ma accompanied me to the hospital.

I don't know, but every time I get to see a hospital or a clinic, my bile would go up and butterflies would start to appear in my tummy. I then started to feel nervous but somehow, I tried to manage it.

Now it was hell time! I got to sit on that "lamped-white-recliner-seat-with-one-arm-rest-with-water-on-it" thing and the dentist started to examine my teeth. Crazy terms came out of her crescent-shaped mouth. Eventually, she had given me 3-shots --- on my right-cheek, on the inner-right gum and outer-right gum.

~~I was numbed to my senses. I couldn't breathe. My eyes began to twirl clockwise.~~ (Yeah, I exaggerated this part). I was numbed but only on the side where the shots were made.

And so I thought, this is it. I expected it to end fast. Click! Just like that. But, the otherwise happened.

The operation took about 2.5 hours. It his was the most shameful part cause I wasn't the only patient the dentist had and yet they had to wait and some had left. And what was more embarrassing was that the dentist had almost lost hope of having it uprooted for some reasons. She tried every possible way to pull it out, tried all the instruments they had but it all led to desperation and eventually, disappointment. The reason why it took so long was that I had a very firm and strong teeth (kudos to me though it was decayed), attached firmly on the gums with multiple children-roots.

FAST-FORWARD!

To make the long story short, (and yeah cuz I talk so much), the hours of wide-opened mouth finally paid off. It was successful as always.

And so, I was advised not to strain to much --- no stress, less blogging. So probably, Ill stick to what is good. I will probably be blogging two post for this week but will still hop from one blog to the other.

Lessons Learned!

Don't eat too mush sweets.
Don't abuse your teeth..
I only have 2 less from the original count of teeth (I had two of my wisdom teeth grown) .
No more Uprooting Operations.

Regarding on Number 3, I only have a decayed tooth left and the best remedy to stop the decaying stuff is to have the so-called Pasta because it is less painful. I'm now seriously afraid to have a tooth uprooted again. Hope you were inspired and learned a lesson from this post. :)

Land of Zest and Affection

2011-06-12T13:21:00.001+08:00

Let us soar high, Filipinos

 above the land of the morning,

over the plush tall trees,

across the sea of the east.

Let the sun shine down, Noypis

over the pearl of the orient,

touching the color of horizon,

giving a flicker of hope to the things be known.

Let us cradle thru thee,

the chosen land of the valorous,

Whilst though to the invaders,

We shall never submit

The sparkle of the banner arising

Is victory that is gleaming.

The 3 Stars and the Sun of it

Forevermore shall never dim.

Land of zest and affection,

Sweet life in thine compose.

Though heaven will it be too, if we are oppressed

To die because of thee.

HAPPY 113th INDEPENDENCE DAY FELLOW FILIPINOS!

Today marks a historical and momentous event for us Filipinos. Stand tall and proud because we are FILIPINOS!

I Fear You Now

2011-06-10T00:08:00.000+08:00

Silence slowly crawls in

Darkness tails, sweeping across the vast

Gales of wind slowly brushes my translucent skin

The ebb of cerulean tides deliberately recedes offshore

I sense you coming, I fear you now!

The lucidity of the sobriety of the crescent

Brings forth a bolt trace of spotlight

And then a stark of silhouette, but somehow deceptive

Caught the envious corner of my eye

I felt a tremor, I fear you now!

I bob my hand and you did the same

I tilted my elbow, and you did too

But I when called you,

not a fathom was done

I sense you coming, I fear you now!

I was forced to step away

but you just keep on following me

I tried to hide but you always seek

I tried to shout, though I cannot

I don't know now, I fear you now!

Will this be it, the thing they call
All thing must die beneath this wool
Between my curtains and my wall
Where waters cool around the cruel
I fear you now, I fear you now!

TAG --- I'm IT!

2011-06-08T18:28:00.001+08:00

I'm tagged --- for what?

Sweet Retreat

2011-06-07T19:33:00.000+08:00


*credits to the source

Let us go then, you and I
Over the darkness of sweet July
Where half-deserted roads are at high
That will take us to the sky

In the gloomy forest be our way
Where trees in halls of disarray
Where none can sight the sweet betray
Of the two amours of today

Alas, my love! We have arrived
What Heaven has made in the name of love
Where Romeo and Juliet once had gone
In their own sweet retreat

And now my love,
Feel the softly touch of my hand
Gaze into my eyes on the flames of sand
For there you seek the spring you've asked
The love I'll give you, wide-spanned

Time has spoken and night is ending
Time would come for our departing
Yet we have took the mystery of history
For on this day be as known
The sweet retreat of you and I.

My mind is sick and I can't seem to write a post. Hope you bear with me on my poems. :)

Life

2011-06-05T19:50:00.002+08:00

Mister? Madam?

Can I have a cent?

It is all I ask of you,

nothing more.

I am not what you think I am

A man who has lost his dignity,

But I'm a man just like you

yet has been castigated by the laws of life.

You might ponder of:

DESPAIR

MISERY

ILL-OMENED

FAILURE

But I assume this is what you call it

As philosophers might say

For it taste and smells

Exactly like

LIFE

This post was in response to the SatSnap Challenge which I love joining at THUMBIN' MY WAY

Happy B-day to Leah :D

2011-06-05T19:09:00.002+08:00

Birthday Wish It’s your birthday time again;
It’s true; there’s no denying,
Another year has come and gone;
You know that I’m not lying. So for you, the birthday person,
Here’s what I want to say:
I hope this birthday’s the best one yet,
In every delightful way. So happy birthday to you.
Have lots of birthday fun!
May your birthday wishes all come true,
Even if you have a ton. By Karl Fuchs

Happy Birthday Leah of Ako si Leah!!!

Memory Lane --- Poetic WEEKEND

2011-06-04T16:18:00.001+08:00

credits to the source

The sky is blue

The sea is as hue

But my heart is so blue

because of you

You left me unbeknown

Though it is too soon

for me to see alone

the tender rising of the moon

I cry and I cry

Till tears be as dry

For that's the only thing I can try

besides to pry

I wish I can stop

And I wish I can crop

this unending pain

of my memory lane

Come join me on today's POETIC WEEKEND. Rules are simple: (1)Be a friend of mine (2) Add a link to my blog straight to your poem (3) Have time to read the entries. Simple as that. Hope you do join in this POETIC WEEKEND of mine :)

Ill be delighted to read your work of art.

What a Perfect Chemistry!

2011-06-04T00:34:00.000+08:00

I have the face of Tom Cruise

I have the body of Brad Pitt

I have the height of Tim Duncan

What a perfect chemistry!

I have the mind of Isaac Newton

I have the life of Bill Gates

I have the heart of Oprah

What a perfect chemistry!

I have the might of Manny Pacquiao

I have the moves of Michael Jackson

I have the voice of Leah Salonga

What a perfect chemistry!

I have the skills of an extraordinaire

I have the luck of an Irish

But what makes it a perfect chemistry

Is that I am Definitely ME!

I'm Grateful for . . .

2011-06-03T23:29:00.001+08:00

This week, I'm grateful for . . .

LIBERTY. Taking time off hand is the best way to chill. No orders, no stress,just FREEDOM.
MEMORIES. Life's halt is unexpected and unwanted in a way. I'm just happy being able to keep and having the most of it while I still have the chance to do so. Who knows? Maybe tomorrow or even the next hour's my life's departure.
OPPORTUNITIES.Just then, opportunities kept opening doors for me to lead me to the correct path I'm taking. There is no doubt about it.
LOVE. Nothing beats the old time machine called love. It inspires and motivates me to fulfill my hopes and dreams. It has always given me sunshine when at most, darkness rules over. It has given me chance to renew the rude me into the new and true me.

And so I ask you. "What are you grateful for this week?"

This post was in response to Maxabella loves... blog hop. Her post is just so INSPIRING.

Blessed Friday

2011-06-03T17:25:00.000+08:00

What else could I ask for???

At exactly 5:00 in the afternoon, I was stunned to read a comment from 'Blogs ng Pinoy' on my My First Third Sentence Thursday post which states :

BNP : Congratulations for being NUMBER FIVE in this month's Hall of Fame! Keep it up!!

*band*YAHOO!*confetti*

Thank you so much BLOGS NG PINOY for this opportunity you have given me. This means a lot to me. This means the whole world for me. I LOVE you guys! Thanks for the support and love you have shown me since the day I first landed on the blogging world.

I am more than motivated to continue on sharing ideas/ posts about different aspects of art, culture, and life.

Thanks again GUYS!!! I'm deeply honored to receive this award.

Special thanks to my fellow Aussie Mom Bloggers who have given me inspiration on their lovely blog posts (you know who you are :))
