This was written last August on one of my other blogs somewhere but I decided to post this here now because it's something I want to share to the public.

I started dreaming of becoming a writer when I was ten or eleven years old.

Ever since I started reading the Harry Potter series, I have always been amazed at how JK Rowling was able to create such a magnificent wizarding world that she can call her own. At how with just the wave of her imagination and with the flick of her wrist she was able to write seven books about Harry Potter and even now she is still able to supplement the world she has created with bits and pieces here and there with her companion stories.

On Thursday morning I received a text from my mom telling me to just work from home in the evening because she found out a storm was about to hit the country. I was already out drinking with friends then but I heeded her advice and went back to the office to fetch my office laptop.

Our all-time McDonald's favorite is back!

Starting a new series on the blog today.

I know it's a bit late into Saturday since it's already 9:25 PM as I am typing this but I came up with this series idea just now and I thought of giving it a go.

Anyway, Saturday Favorites would be where I post about the stuff that caught my attention in the past week. Think of it as kind of a weekly favorite roundup.

This post was inspired by Favorite Musical act and why blog idea from Kate the (Almost) Great.

First Date basically revolves around the first date of Aaron and Casey and Something That Will Last is the last song/scene from the musical.

Aaaaaaand we're back!

I am very happy to present the new design of the website. The previous design had been around for a few years now and I knew I needed a fresh look to get this blog going. I wanted to kick it up a notch and use a color scheme I haven't used before and the color yellow was the first color that came to my mind.

I'm still right here and I haven't given up. Changes and lots more to come to this website soon. Stay tuned.

Idina Menzel has always been someone I looked up to in terms of musical theater, especially after being part of the Original Broadway Cast of RENT as well as originating the role of Elphaba in Wicked. Apart from that, she also voiced the iconic Queen Elsa from Disney's Frozen and sang the Academy Award-winning song "Let It Go".

Welcome to the first #buqosteamyreads Passion Bundle stop here at my blog! This weekend I will be featuring Rylie Miranda's Landing Dr. Right.

This would be the first time that I am featuring an original Filipino song on this blog and it's a song that's been on my playlist ever since I first listened to it.

To my friends from all over the world who have been asking about when the book's going to be available, it's finally here.

You can purchase or order Heatrstrung from the following:

The book will be released next weekend (April 19, 2014) on Createspace and Amazon. I am also planning to release the book in Kindle format for those interested to read the book using their e-readers or mobile devices.

I used to be such a believer of love and all its glory. I could take happiness in reading contemporary romance and watching chick flicks but lately it seems as if all my romance mojo is gone. I still get the kilig feeling every now and then but I can't deny the fact that something has changed within me that has got me acting like a cynic for the past couple of weeks or months.

My friend Cars is a graduating student of Interior Design in UP Diliman. Every year the graduating batch of their degree has to choose what they should do for a semester-long project. To embody being Mga Iskolar ng Bayan, as what UP students are called, they decided to go with an advocacy project to show not only honor and excellence but also service to their fellow Filipinos.

Calling all Filipino theater enthusiasts!

Atlantis Productions will be staging The Addams Family this coming November. The Addams Family is a smash-hit Broadway musical comedy based on the characters from Charles Addams' cartoon of the same name.

Anyway, I was trying to drown out said unpleasant sound so I decided to put my earphones on and listen to any song on my iPod. I put it on shuffle and Tohoshinki’s Rising Sun started playing. I forgot that I had the Repeat Song setting enabled and after a few minutes I found myself dancing Rising Sun in my mind and I got reminded of the Japanese MV of the song.

Hey New York Nerds!

Did you know that The Nerd Machine will be coming to the New York Comic Con?

So I have been MIA from this blog for such a long time. If you’ve been following this blog (does anyone actually follow this blog? lol), you’d know that the last post before this was last June to recap celebrating Yuchun’s birthday with fellow fans.

Yesterday was a day to celebrate.

Ever since I became a fan of JYJ, I've always wanted to join a birthday celebration of any of the members that's why when May was about to end, I was eager to join in on a Micky Party here in the Philippines. I quickly contacted Ate Jen and Ate Cesz to ask if they were planning anything. Everyone was busy with their first lives (including me!) and Ate Jen thought of just having dinner on June 4th to celebrate Yoochun's birthday. But later on they both contacted me to say that JYJ PH will be organizing a small fan gathering to celebrate Yoochun's 28th birthday and I definitely got what I wished for!

The Korean Cultural Center launched the Minhwa Exhibit last March 8, 2013 and will be displayed until April 30, 2013.

There has been that nagging and inexplicable feeling again as if I have a rock at the bottom of my stomach or a lump in my throat. I guess it will always be like this when you're trying to figure something (someone) out. When you're lost and you don't know where you stand or where you should go.

*in Hermione Granger's accent and voice* Well, it's obvious, isn't it? I can't keep my hands from buying books! I get almost catatonic when I come into a bookstore that I can't seem to leave without purchasing any book from it!

At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world, six billion souls. And sometimes... all you need is one.

My heart is ticking like the clock inside the crocodile just by thinking of you. It's like a part of me is counting down the days that we have been apart. And god, I can't wait for the time the stars would cross once again. Because it's only in those moments do I feel so alive and specal. And it's only in those moments I know that we both have dreamt something bigger than me and you.

So the other day I decided to download an eReader for my Samsung GT-I5503 so I could read some Java-related eBooks without being distracted by being on the Internet. I downloaded the Aldiko Book Reader from the Android market. I tried it out with the free eBook (White Fang by Jack London) that came with it and then hoarded some Java related eBooks from the Internet.
