I saw this truck sales and repair shop when I was on my way home today from work. I find it so hilarious that I really had to stop driving and take a picture of it and share to everyone I know.

cold turkey

AGAIN. I shall try to quit the bad habit of smoking -- cold turkey. I have not smoked for six days now and I really hope and pray it will be for good this time. I have tried to quit for some time now, at least once a year for the past 2-3 years. Apparently I haven't been successful with all my attempts. Simply put, I just stopped and went back to the habit after a quick while. LOL

They say that there is a much lower risk of getting the dreaded diseases that smoking brings if you quit before you reach your "10 Pack Year" point. This is equivalent to one smoking 2 packs of cigarette a day in 10 years. I can honestly say that I am not yet at that point and it's a VERY good time (it always is a good time) for me to quit the habit. I will quit while I still have good control of the urge to smoke. I will quit while I still can.

I've read this somewhere that I can't remember:
"Quitting is hard. Not doing so going to be harder (then they show a photo of an oral cancer patient)."

I will need the support of all my family and friends to make this attempt, finally, a successful one.

lyric blunders

I decided to start cleaning up my Yahoo! email account. It won't be an overnight task since we're talking about thousands of emails to sort, delete, block, etc. I know, I know... I don't have to do such with the gigabytes of space I have available. Bakit ba?! =)) Na-O-OC ako eh. LOL

I came across this email from one of my cousins and it gave me a good laugh. A good one for my day! Read on. This is hilarious!

dekada otsenta

I'll go ahead and indulge in this new-found hobby of mine. To make things worse (or better) I will enjoy blogging about the things about the "happier" days. Dekada Otsenta (The 80's). I went to this website that had online quizzes to test how much of an 80's child you are. Alas! I'm a Star Margarine Rice Kid. Heeeep, heeepp... 98 percentile pa! Try it. It's fun!

Dekada Otsenta

bring back batibot!

This I will say is something very close to my heart. I feel sorry for the children of today. They won't be able to savor the joy of watching Batibot and meet Pong Pagong, Kiko Matsing, Kuya Bodjie and Ate Sienna, and co. I came across this video on YouTube and made me think if there's any chance that Batibot will be back on air.

my very first

It has been a while since I decided to create a blog account. I did so to start a new hobby that will (hopefully) keep me from (to put it nicely) self-mortification, better yet suicide, by spending overly long hours at work -- attempting to solve all the problems of the company with my but feeble attempts. Now that is a totally different story that I will probably dive into further in the near future. I am happy that at least for now I have braved to write something up online.

While I was in the process of "discerning" as to what I will write about as my first entry, I decided to go through old notes, old journals (that's not even a handful so that wasn't a pain LOL), and books I've read (now that's even less!). I realized that in the process I was trying to go back through things that remind me of my "happier" days. Don't get me wrong. I am happy right now. I may be stressed-out and discontent with work but I don't think that I'm unhappy. There is a significant amount of frustration of course, with things that I should have/ have not done early on, but what d'ya' do?? I'm a big boy now and I should and will be able to get through it all; with the support of my family and friends. And there's one thing that struck me the most today that made me say: "Hey, you're such a lucky bastard! Go on and live your life better that how you're doing so now. You have much more than what you think.".

I came across one book that my sister gave me when I was just in my freshman year in college. On her dedication she said (and I quote):

Dear Angelo,
Look for your passion in life and do everything with love.
Life will not always be kind to you, but never forget that in your joys, struggles, failures, loneliness and success, I am always here with you.

Love,
Ate

Now how sweet is that?! This was written on the book she gave me entitled "Thoughts on Being Happy" by Helen Exley. And to give you a little bit more perspective on where she was coming from when she wrote that for me, it was when I was troubled AND causing a lot of trouble and heartache in school and for my family with all my juvenile (mis)adventures. I'd rather not go into the details, but I swear you don't want me anywhere near you during those days unless you're out drinking with me -- that was the only time when you're going to be on my good side. Now, almost 9 years after since Ate gave me the book, I look back and ask my self "what the hell I was thinking back then?!".

I feel lucky and thankful that I have a very loving family.
