It Rained!

2011-06-14T21:37:00.001-05:00

It starts raining now, after a day full of clouds while the sun hides but transmits its presence. Its been gloomy…I don’t like it, though the wind vindicates the oddness the day brings. I wish it rained tonight, hoping its gone tomorrow, and I’ll see the sun again. My heart’s been in anguish these past days, and I can’t help but try to contain it. I don’t want to feel this way, though I did feel

Testing my New XPS laptop

2011-04-27T17:39:00.001-05:00

I just said goodbye to my ACER lappy, now I’m saying Hello to my new Dell L502X sandy bridge lappy cool!

Like a Bird

Birds flight Originally uploaded by isla_yelo"I'm like a bird...I only fly away..." Yes, I'm like a bird, flying away wherever the wind blows. I need a master, to show me which direction to go...so I'll end up in a safer place. Like a bird, I need not to worry...because as birds fly freely over the waters...I too can walk on to life's journey with God providing all I need. So like a bird, I

Beginning Anew

2011-01-08T20:45:00.000-06:00

This is not the first time I said to myself that I'd be beginning anew. There's numerous instances that I promise God not to rebel against him, but I constantly failed to do that. It makes me feeling confused, lost, and guilty again and again. Our pastor said in one of his preaching - never promise anything to God, because we are bound to fail due to the carnal nature we posses inside our

Say Cheese!

2011-01-08T19:24:00.003-06:00

Say Cheese! Originally uploaded by isla_yeloHow do we say cheese when we can't trace the lips that smile in our faces? It's simply saying how do you smile when you don't have a reason to. Somehow, smiling can always be faked. Like the shadows that poses for a photograph, we can gesture a happy image even if behind it is a lonesome reality. Though, its best to smile it out no matter how tough

I'll figure this out on my own...though I'm clueless and caught surprise by the circumstances that surrrounds you...I'm still into you....

Unexpected Departure

2010-02-08T21:36:00.003-06:00

Had it ever crossed your mind that one day, you'll die in the most unexpected...and probably unwanted time and manner? It was a bit gloomy day today...a fellow in the work, a worker in the manufacturing line sufferred a massive heart attack. It occurs just right after lunchtime and the ERT were trying to revive him, but to no avail, it was unsuccessful. The man was rushed to the hospital and we

If Only Hope

2009-12-31T02:00:00.006-06:00

Almost closing time for 2009...and here comes the new year 2010...thank God and I'm still alive after a lot of stuggles. As our pastor said, 2009 is the year of the fullness of God's blessings...and lo and behold, its really the fullness when the most unexpected blessings come. 2010 is said to be the year of the miracles...forget about the years of the animals coz we are humans and not animals;

I'll Stand By You

2009-05-09T08:34:00.003-05:00

I wanna hear it over and over again...probably its nice if Sarah G will sing this too in one of her ASAP stints...I don't know what's the title of this song until I got a chance to bump into this video of Carrie Underwood singing her cover in the American Idol finale.... "Nothing you confess...can make me love you less..." is probably the most profound lines in this song. PJ would always say

A Dose of a Breather

2009-02-08T21:38:00.004-06:00

Today's Sunday is so far one of the finest breather I had. Though there were some sorts of irking at the house, it became a nice time for me and my sister to enjoy the cool weather we've been longing for months now. It was a breather from the extremely low temperature that Winnipeg is experiencing since November. Winter is ending soon and its my first springtime here....before I bid goodbye to

Turning Back

2009-02-05T19:41:00.005-06:00

It's been a while, and I was so out of tune in almost everything about my faith. Its hard to start a life in a totally strange place, with everyone around misunderstanding each other. The good thing despite this is that there is a God who keeps loving us. Even if we forget all the best things He had given. I should testify about it, as what I have been thought all throughout these years. But I

The Final Sale

2009-01-03T01:27:00.004-06:00

Whenever we feel hurt and deeply affected by a certain circumstance, we do cry and tend to nourish hard feelings to those causing us pain. However, its no different if you are the one to cause pain to another person. They would tell you its ok, but you know well that they are not fine. They are hurting and you can't do anything but to console them and apologize. Hurting someobody is like when

First Month, Second Day

2009-01-02T00:56:00.005-06:00

It's 2009, new year, new beginning, new chapters in life. I'm happy spending this new start with you...and tomorrow will be the 1st month mark. Just glad that we did made it through... I'm feeling the jitters, but its unavoidable...and things won't change, because it's still all about us. My love is unchanged...and nothing can be done about it right now. The longing won't end...perhaps until we

It's My Birthday

2008-12-22T21:08:00.003-06:00

Another year...another day...another hour...another second...a life of ups and downs. I am now beginning a new year, should I say happy birthday or happy new year to me? Its my first birthday in the North, and its not as happy as in the South. I prefer being there, but I have the best thing with me today. I would be lonely, but I am not...I am sad, but I'm happy....I am with no love but I love

Midnight Dews

2008-10-02T23:05:00.001-05:00

Alone in the room, I listen to Aiza Seguerra's rendition of Gary Valenciano's Fool Till The End, and I can't help but think how fool I am to be still attached to someone who doesn't really deserve it. I don't know but maybe its just me, or its just time wouldn't let me let go of it. At this point, I'm a little bit confused, that's why I need to pray, but the more I want to pray right now, the

Starry Starry Addiction Overtime

2008-08-13T10:48:00.001-05:00

Starry Starry Addiction Overtime August 13, 2008 Admiration, fanaticism, whatever you call it, all boils down to one word that is “ADDICTION” Every once in a while, I must say that I get addicted to someone whose influential and well-known - could be an artist, a singer, a sports player or an entity. I still remember when I really got hooked up to Erik Menk that I never missed to watch every

Unusual Thing Called Art

2008-07-19T11:39:00.002-05:00

Ever heard of the song "The Art of Letting Go"? Well, this song from Mikaila hits the chart years ago, but still for the mushy peeps around, this song hits the blues. Lyrics | The Art Of Letting Go lyrics I always find it easy to let go of the things I ought not to have, let them slip away as if it had never occurred. But love is just so different that when your heart holds on to it, even if

An Updated Version of Me

2008-07-19T10:39:00.002-05:00

"Someday...there's gonna be an updated version of me...and somehow you'll gonna see...an updated version of me..." Updated version of me, a much better person...comes from the lines of KC Concepcion's single An Updated Version of Me from her first album, Cassandra. I first heard this 4 weeks ago when my officemate Mitch asked me if I heard this song already coz she finds it very nice. Light

An Afternoon @ the Bayside

2008-07-07T23:54:00.001-05:00

Spending my last few weeks here is not as easy it seems, its overwhelming actually. Even though, its so nice to see once more the usual stuff that can only be found in the Philippines. Last Sunday, I revisited my favorite mall with some friends and my sister, and here are some sights we got. ----- This is Manila's fine sunset, surrounded by gray cloudy skies, the beauty of the sun shines still

I'll Take Care Of You

2008-06-25T01:23:00.002-05:00

Randomly browsed from the open world wide web spaces...I find meaning on this unknown song by the Dixie Chicks. The times when you don't know how to take care of yourself is the same time when there is someone, somewhere out there who cares for you. Its just amazing to realize how wonderful God is creating and maintaining the harmony of his children. ------------------ Times are hard and rents

At The Beginning

2008-04-27T07:23:00.002-05:00

Friends are like budding flowers, they blossom and grow beautiful as they join together in catching the falling rain...refreshing their spirits and strengthening their system as the rays of sunshine return to produce another set of energy to face the new day.... Like budding flowers, we are like buddies standing together, pointing to the heavens as we face the new challenges of the day...

My Newest Addiction

2008-04-23T08:08:00.001-05:00

After recovering from the upsetting addiction in the past...I have found the hobby I always wanted :) Just recently learned how to do the macro thing in photgraphy, thanks to those help from Flickr. Here are some shots I have taken from a Euphoria flower in my mother's pot. ---- and another try out at the Oceanarium:

By the Bayside

2008-04-18T10:21:00.001-05:00

I always believed that the sun shines its best @ 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Nonetheless, the 2nd best is when you see it sets before darkness on a nostalgic seaside of Manila Bay...

At 4PM I See the Blue Skies

2008-04-09T10:14:00.001-05:00

A fun, laid-back chat in the afternoon is a nice getaway from all the fuss of work and pollution around. My most favorite one is under the sun while it shines best @ 4PM. Last Sunday, we head a short afternoon trip to Tagaytay, a dose of fresh air after a week of sufferring from an illness. It was an unplanned visit and thus, together with family, we just commute going to and fro. After
