(pic from here) Where would my life be if I had to say goodbye so soon now that I've been living on with my life filled with happiness? No matter how much it would cost to hold on to that happiness then I would. Sometimes it hurts so much to see someone leaving and yet you've just met in such a short time. Sharing each other’s lives, the laughter, the tears, the struggle, the meals, the time

I heart you. Spread the love.

This is serious. There is a high aids scare in the country. Survey revealed a significant rise in the prevalence rate of HIV among men and women having unprotected sex. Recent news reported that Gensan’s last count was 21. The country? It now has over 900 cases but in 2007, it was only 280. Scary, right? But hey, I am not a victim.; just building an awareness. How does one get HIV? I read in

I need a Hero

aethen@dostscholars.org — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 21:55:40 PST

A friend gave me a Christmas gift. A Hero (Be Somebody) Novelty photo holder! This was for being recognized as a modern hero. I thought that was absolutely awesome, and a bit random. So it got me thinking – what is the best or strangest gift you’ve ever received last holidays? The gift is now displayed in the cabinet of my toy collections. This simple gift always reminds me that even

blogging again for 2010

aethen@dostscholars.org — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:45:18 PST

Hello 2010! It’s been quite a long time since I posted. I did not have time to blog since Christmas break as I kept myself busy with lots of stuff and I think I’ve partly lost enthusiasm in blogging but I’ll post here from time to time. Or maybe I just became wanderlust! The last few weeks of 2009 was FUN and full of adventure, I really had a long busy vacation way back home. Our family was

EB Hero

aethen@dostscholars.org — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 04:18:16 PST

Television’s longest running program is celebrating its 30th year in a special way by giving tribute to ordinary people whose deeds touch the world around them. Each deed may be quiet and small. But together, countless small actions can be likened to many lighted candles that can turn darkness to light. Each small and heartfelt action is like a seed that grows into a tree that bears many

The New Hobby - Wakeboarding!

Last week, we went to the South, CWC (CamSur WaterSports Complex), CamSur for a short vacation that was extended for 2 more days because of the typhoon threat in the province.

aethen@dostscholars.org — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:55:06 PDT

This Spanish comedy film entitled No me pidas que te bese, porque te besaré (Don't Ask Me to Kiss You, Because I will) is about Albert who's repenting his decision to marry and takes guitar lessons with “special” people to distract himself before the wedding takes place or not. The story takes in making you think what makes us special and what makes us jerks. It is narrative and fun. You will

Yam Laranas, the co-writer and director for Sigaw, directed this remake. Screening begins September 30, 2009 here in Philippines and will star Jesse Bradford of the ‘Flags of our Fathers’ fame.

the art of cooking pansit canton

aethen@dostscholars.org — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 23:26:14 PDT

Last day, I bought six packs of pancit canton (three sweet and spicy and three toyo mansi – savory of soy sause and calamansi concoction). On that same day that afternoon while raining, I cooked two packs of the sweet and spicy canton. I boiled two glasses of tap then dunked my two square-shaped noodles for three minutes. While cooking my noodles like an Italian chef, I cut one by one the tip of

Orphan Movie Review

aethen@dostscholars.org — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 11:38:52 PDT

We went last night to see the movie, Orphan directed by Jaume Collet-Sera, and while it's creepy - I'll give it creepy - it's boringly fun. The movie is about Esther, the Orphan, and figuring out what is wrong with her. In the movie you’ll meet John and Kate (parents who adopted Esther) – plus hate! I say, Esther, is the female version of Good son/Damien the Omen without the horror touch to it.

Food Sufficiency Program Bayan-anihan Launched

aethen@dostscholars.org — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 00:18:32 PDT

A Chinese philosopher once said, “Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for the rest of his life.”The same concept is the inspiration behind Bayan-anihan—Gawad Kalinga’s (GK) food sufficiency arm, which was established to eradicate hunger by empowering poor families to produce their own food via backyard or organic farming.
