Miles Away From Home

July 31, 2006

Unang araw ko ngayon dito sa Davao. So far, ok naman ang experience. Accomodating ang mga tao. Ang mga taxi drivers mababait. They will give you your change kahit na less than five pesos na lang sya. Unlike sa Manila na manghihingi pa ang driver ng dagdag na bayad kasi daw mataas na ang fuel.
Ang napupuntahan ko pa lng d2 ay 2 mall: ang victoria plaza and gaisano. Pupunta kame mamaya sa jack's ridge. Excited na ko. hehehe. Wala naman kasi ako talaga pupuntahan na attractions dito eh since wala ako kasama and sandali lang din kame dito. May isa pa pala problema kaya natatamad din ako magpasyal. Naiwan namen ang camera! Argghh!

The Musketeers

July 24, 2006
Four of my favorite literary characters are the musketeers: Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D' Artagnan. I almost always never fail to watch movies or tv specials about these extraordinary characters. I don't know how much of them is fiction and how much is true. If they are based on true to life people or just a fruit of Alexandre Dumas' exceptional imagination. The reason why I like them is because of what they stand for: undying love and loyalty. For family, friends and country.

The Man In The Iron Mask is on AXN today. I watched it for the nth time already. Not because of Leonardo DiCaprio, although he is one big plus factor, but because i think it is one of the better movies about the musketeers. Or maybe not. I'm not really sure.

One thing I'm sure of. I'd love to be part of a group that says: "One for all, All for one."

Bakit ganun?

July 20, 2006

This is my third post and I still spent around 10 minutes figurong out how to create a new post. What is wrong with me?! Nasa itaas lang pala ng home page ang new post button. hay naku! If that's not one big kat@ngahan, i don't know what is.

Read To Learn

July 4, 2006
"Never argue with a person who reads, it is most likely that he can also think."

When I read that passage, I can't help but agree with whoever said it. I believe
that a person need not be a graduate of a top university to be intelligent. He
doesn't need to
be a jetsetter to know the beautiful places in the world. He can be a total
jologs but still speak fluent english. He can be poor but speak and read foreign
languages. He can be anything he wants to be. If he loves to read, that is.

I think that reading is one hobby that we should all enjoy. It's just a pity
that our public libraries here lack the books that a lot of people might enjoy.
Unlike in the first world country where the library goers can request for a
book, our libraries here contains outdated ones. One of my dreams is to have a
store like Booksale where people can buy great books at a lesser price. I hope
to realize that dream. But if i get really lucky, I'll be able to build a
library full to the rafters of books.

I am and will always be an advocate of reading. It doesn't matter what material
a person likes to read, as long as it contributes to his well being, I am for
that. When I was still a kid, I always read comics. I then progressed to reading
stories in my and my sister's text books. Then I was introduced to pocketbooks.
From tagalog pocketbooks to Nancy Drew, it doesn't matter. As long as the story
interests me, I will read it. I gradually shifted to thicker books. I read
romance novels if i want to relax. Suspense if I want an exciting read. I
also read romance when I want to cry. Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas is one of my
favorites. You should give it a try.

What i really want to say is this: We should all read. It doesn't only feed our mind, but also our heart.

My first post

June 28, 2006

This is my first post.Yeeha!

I learned of i.ph from a co-worker friend of mine. Actually, I discovered his blog here accidentally. I was browsing a forum when i chanced upon a thread discussing a place he recently visited. I clicked on it and recognized the nick he oftenly use. Check out his blog. It's a really good read. http://bleue.i.ph/blogs/bleue/

I'm not a very active blogger. My last blog contains only 4 articles. 3 of them in the first month, the last one 3 months after.

I hope that i will improve now that i'm with i.ph.

Well, that's it for my first post.

TTFN.
