The Gospel According to Redge

I'm back on planet earth! Finally, natupad din ang wish ko na makapag-beach ngayong summer...

This entry is actually a tribute of some sort to the only guy whom I consider my closest friend right now...I'll just share his words of wisdom kasi...wala lang. Natutuwa lang ako sa kanya because I never thought that I'd ever connect with a straight guy. But with Redge, I like his frankness, candidness, humor and honesty (kung naging babae 'to malamang na-fall na ako sa badet na yun). Anyway, para sa'yo 'to, dude!

Don't slouch! Never put your head down when you're walking. Keep your chin up, stomach in, chest out...You'll look timid and shy when you do otherwise. Besides, it doesn't look good.

Hindi naman totoong nalilimutan mo ang mahal mo sa pagdaan ng panahon. Hindi totoong napaghihilom ng panahon ang sugat sa puso mo. Nasasanay ka lang sa sakit, kaya naiinda mo na.

Kahit hindi tama ang ginagawa mo, basta't masaya ka, go for it! Ang pangit yung mali na nga ang ginagawa mo, tapos, hindi ka pa masaya...

Will be posting pics next time...

Eleksyon 2007

Call me idealistic or patriotic or whatever...pero old-fashioned pa rin ako pagdating sa exercising my right to vote. Thus, after my shift on Saturday morning (with a stopover sa birthday party ng officemate ko sa Project 8), I went home to Caloocan wherein I'm a registered voter. Kakaboto ko lang ngayon at imagine all pains a voter must go thru para lang sa "right" na yan! Hmp! Dapat ang mga kandidato ay tiyakin na kumportable ang mga botante pag ganitong eleksyon. I only elected six senators (karamihan mga bagito) at iniwasan ko yung mga galing sa kongreso na wala namang ginawa sa Mababang Kapulungan kundi mang-akusa ng kung sinu-sino at pumutak ng pumutak laban sa Administrasyon...Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-administration. Pero naniniwala ako na ang kongresista at senador ay inihalal para gumawa ng batas. Hindi para mag-imbestiga ng anomalya...Let the PNP and NBI do that...

Anyway, apart from voting, I had a good weekend with my family. I baby sat for my favorite nephew; I watched the Game 3 of Round 2 NBA Playoffs between the Spurs and the Suns (which the Spurs won, kaya abot-tenga ang ngiti ko ngayon); I watched a movie marathon with my favorite cousin (we watched Pumpkinhead which I found boring kaya hindi namin tinapos; The Covenant na napanood ko sa sine last year; and Eragon which I find okay naman pala although I didn't bother to watch it on the big screen).

Heard that Ayala Trinoma is opening this week. In fact, dun ang premier ng Shrek 3...hmmn, better check it out before others do...Hehe!

Random Thoughts

Never allow yourself to grow too close to anyone...In doing so, you are only opening yourself to being hurt.

Be lavish on praise; be gentle in criticism.

Never change yourself just to please other people. It's better to be yourself and be content than to let other people take control of your life.

Just shrug off other people's negative opinion about you. Afterall, you can't please everybody. As long as you're not hurting anyone, do what you will and let others do the same.

Do not bear grudges. Let them bear their own grudge but cast yours aside. It will only slow you down.

When you're down, there is no other way to go but up.
