When invitations come, it doesn’t mean that you are invited to join the food galore. You are invited because the celebrant wants to share with you their special day. Just last week I received three invitations from three close friends. One just celebrated today and the other two will commence one month apart. To be [...]

A prelude in reminsicing my High School life »

On bloghopping I saw this tag from Airwind and reading from his entries I can’t help reminiscing my High School life. So I ask him if I could voluntarily do this tag because this will be my prelude to my 200th post hehe. My 200th post is so delayed because of the holy week. Pero [...]

As a sequel to the Hundreth, OTWOMD brings you “Too Hundreth“, the 200th post special. This is long overdue since the recent Holy Week prevented me from posting this. It took me forever to publish [...]

Opportunity knocks »

Return Of The King »

It was on September 16, 1994 when I joined a group of young people that changed my life forever. Before I was this “super strong, proud and almighty” jerk that no one could ever touch, no one could bend and no one can make me bow. But the wisdom of the Lord is so [...]

The story which you are about to read is a full account of my personal experience before I entered the seminary. If you have any heart disease and anxiety attack, I suggest you skip this story to shield you from further exacerbation of your condition. I decided to disclose this [...]

Icarus, The Ugly Duckling and The Twitty Bird »

My American, British and Australian professors, while I had this opportunity to attend an English proficiency program, and during our open forum, said that: “Many Filipinos are so talented and good at their craft that even a slight opportunity to be famous, can already bloat their head and turn them into crabs, grasping and clinging [...]

It Started With A Song »

THE POWER TO FLY, THE WILL TO DREAM
I can’t get enough of this song of Jeffrey Osborneand later revived by Martin Nievera and Regine Velasquez. That’s why I wrote a follow up my previous entry below which I just recently posted last night. There are so many levels of this song that I cannot ignore [...]

Powerful »

Have I told you that I am a sucker for Martin Nievera? His voice is so powerful, so high pitched that even if he screams at the top of his lungs, he can still manage to swoop down to recover the notes and then rise again. He sing his songs full of emotions and full [...]

Tag-ulan »

Rainy season is already here and it has been raining in our place everyday from late afternoon until morning. The toads and frogs croaking in the pond, the crickets making their noises, ducks wading in the murky waters and people having cups of hot cocoa while they stare at the vast rice field, swamps and [...]
