Flying to Manila in a few hours
Yes, I’m finally flying to Manila in a few hours. I’m so excited now, can’t sleep actually. If I want to stay in Manila, I should probably get a job (which, in all honesty, I’m really planning to do).
I’ll be staying in Makati with my relatives and (hopefully) I’ll be able to go to Laguna to check on the project. Wish me luck, guys!

Magnitude 6.8 and Aftershocks
February 06, 2012 @ 11:55AM
My twin and I were at home when we felt the earthquake.
I was in my room, waiting for some videos to load, when all of the sudden my table began to shake. At first I thought it was because of my own foot (my shaking mannerism). But then I noticed both of my feet were not touching the table at all. The shaking strengthen and I noticed the chair I was sitting on was...

From @eatsleepmoresleep
eatsleepmoresleep: It wasn’t, as feet carried the body. It wasn’t beautiful in the way it should’ve been. Maybe it’s cliche’ to walk for someone, except without them.
These words don’t come, just in the same way no one can force love. If my mind had tried to write of love and lack thereof, these words would be with preconceived feelings.
The one thing I can promise, guarantee, and get in writing...

Done with the farm house design, next?
I’m now done with the design for the farm house. The total area of the design is 1160 sq.m. The house features 4 bedrooms, a porch, a two-car garage, a big living room adjacent to the dining area, a kitchen and other utility and storage rooms plus a “uncommon area” for a farm house [can’t tell you guys what it is, sorry!]. I’m not allowed to post the floor plan or the...

"White Collar", what does that mean?
Me: *White Collar commercial on TV*
Sister: *watching*
Me: Do you know what a white-collar job is?
Sister: No, what is it?
Me: A white collar job means any high-paying job like those of CEOs, executives, architects. White-collar is the opposite of blue-collar.
Sister: Blue?
Me: Yes, any low-paying job like street-cleaners, janitors, waiters.
Sister: How about red?

alexputyourpantsbackon: Sometimes I wonder if people who don’t read truly know what they’re missing. Maybe they just haven’t read the right book yet. To me, there is nothing quite like getting lost in a novel. And I don’t mean just enjoying a book. I mean staying up half the night, hiding it under your desk, reading more than eating until you’ve finished the book kind of enjoyment. In a...

Designing the farm house, what do you guys think?
So yeah, I’m still awake. Busy designing the farm house. I got message from the client telling me everything he wants me to consider for the house, which is actually a good thing. He wants a “large front” which actually mean a wide patio/porch and vestibule in the entrance, 3 to 4 bedrooms with toilets each, a grand living room, a kitchen with dining and a two car garage. And I...

GOOD NEWS!!! Gonna design another house!!!
Hello guys! I got good news for y’all! I was ‘commissioned’ to design another house in the province! [Let it clear, I’m not yet an architect, my Dad’s the architect.] But the client likes my ‘design taste’ (as he place it) so he wants me to do the designing! I think that’s fine (for a graduate to design) according to the law of the land, as long as...

[revisiting. my voice, words by dear sugar]
i’ve written often about how it is we have to reach hard in the direction of the lives we want, even if it’s difficult to do so. i’ve advised people to set healthy boundaries and communicate mindfully and take risks and work hard on what actually matters and confront contradictory truths and trust the inner voice that speaks with love and...

eatsleepmoresleep: Pardon my need for inspiration. The words of experience are telling me they should arrive late in the morning as they have been for the past few days. The crux of the matter is, I’ve yet to allow my fingers to move while my brain simply wounder with curiosity. It’s just the same as a tongue that speaks without first being advised by the brain. Fingers do the same, and yet,...

Xmas: Saying Things I Shouldn't
Me: Do you really believe in Jesus Christ, my friend? I mean, seriously? I'm sorry if I sound like a blasphemer or a heretic to you but, yeah, do you actually believe that Jesus was responsible for our salvation?
Somebody: Why are you even asking this?
Me: Why shouldn't I? I want to know if you believe so that from you I can defend the faith...
Somebody: I believe in Jesus, Son of God. He died to save us from damnation. He is also God and the Holy Spirit, though some Christians don't believe in the Holy Trinity. Jesus was founder of all Christianity, his teachings are the way, the truth and the life.
Me: But haven't it occurred to you that Jesus must've been this influential celebrity during his time? I think he must've been because he has a lot of followers.
Somebody: He had this 'celebrity' status not because he was charismatic or an entertainer, but because Jesus was and is Lord God. Remember his miracles? Remember his kindness? His parables?
Me: But—
Somebody: Enough. You must not be asking questions. People will stone you to death. Keep your curiosity to yourself. God bless you.
Me: I just want to know better about—
Somebody: Enough.

It's my Birthday today!
It’s my birthday today! Actually, it’s not only my birthday. I share it with my twin brother! We’re just planning a small party tonight with close friends. And maybe another party on Friday. I’m now 22-years-young! [clapping loudly]

Oh My God! It's a sign!
Me: Oh my God! It's a sign!
Somebody: Huh?
Me: Remember I told you about an "idea"?
Somebody: Yeah. So?
Me: Well, I did some research and guess what?!? I found someone, who also have this similar "idea", and we almost have the same name!
Somebody: That's cool.
Me: I feel like I'm destined for this. I'm thinking, I must materialize my "idea" because...it's in the name! Wish me luck!
