Tagalog
Spoke to my cousin in the Philippines for at least half an hour on Skype after my mom’s 1.5hr session with my aunt. I haven’t spoken that much Tagalog since I last saw her in the Philippines 4.5 years ago. She asked if my siblings and I spoke Tagalog at home & I said no. She asked how I retained it and I said TFC. I added that my parents still speak to us in Tagalog. Then she...

Love is like a pet dog.
It’s a companion, so you have to let it grow. You can’t keep it on a leash all the time because it needs freedom to thrive. Nourishment (aka: communication, aka: prayer) is always a necessity. The best thing to do is to walk with love or let it walk ahead of you. It’ll lead you to new adventures and protect you from any evil dogs out there. But what you must never do is force...
Change.
Change always takes some getting used to—I get that. But why does this one feel so uncomfortable?
No, I am not just talking about the Lakers.

Parking Lots
Mom: Look!
Dad: What?
Mom: Oh, I thought it was parking...
Dad: It is... There's just a car in it.
(This is why my sense of humor is the way it is.)

It’s not Christmas “giving” if you ask your recipients to pick up their gifts. Delivering gifts to the family friends! =D

“It’s Okay to be Neither,” By Melissa Bollow Tempel
Alie arrived at our 1st-grade classroom wearing a sweatshirt with a hood. I asked her to take off her hood, and she refused. I thought she was just being difficult and ignored it. After breakfast we got…
A bit lengthy, but definitely a great read.
Today...
It’s Monday. I fell asleep at 2:30am. I woke up at 7:15am and realized I had to be at work an hour earlier than usual (8am) for some management training session. Left the house by 7:35am and clocked in at 8:12am.
It’s Monday and so far, I am thankful for…
My parents who didn’t wake me up at 7am like they usually would. They’re trying to teach me to grow up and...
Filipino Parties
When you’re too young (meaning you’re still in school), “they” say to wait until you finish before having a significant other. The moment you graduate, and aside from questions regarding your career, they ask about when you’ll finally introduce a significant other to everyone. Then once you’re past 25, single or taken, they’ll ask about marriage plans.

A 21 year old guy had worn a pair of contact lenses during a barbecue party.(An event or meal at which food is cooked outdoors over an open grill or fire) While barbecuing he stared at the fire charcoals continuously for 2-3 minutes. After a few minutes, he started to scream for help and moved rapidly, jumping up and down. No one in the party...
WOW.
This day was endlessly full of the most ridiculous ups and downs from the moment I opened my eyes.
Holy goodness, I’m sick in mind, heart and soul. I need me some Vitamin C’s.
Heal me, Oh Lord…
Simbang Gabi tomorrow and I cannot be more excited to see You, God!!! Gonna make the best of the rest of this Advent Season!!
Gloves
Me: *using group texting on iphone to text siblings upstairs* hey there's no more shampoo...
Older sister: tell mommy.
Younger brother: right.
Sister: use the travel size ones for now.
Me: okay.
Brother: *outloud* damn, why do I get both your texts?!
Sister: because we have iPhones & it's called group texting.
Neiron: well my phone is better! I can text with gloves!! *shows his outdated Sony Ericsson phone* suckahhh!
Sister: Oh yeah?! Well, I don't even have gloves! Who's the suckahhh now?! SUCKAHHH!
The joys of home. LOL

I think you could fall in love with anyone if you saw the parts of them no one else gets to see. Like if you followed them around invisibly for a day and saw them crying in their bed at night or singing in the shower or humming quietly to themselves as they make a sandwich or even just walking along the street. And even if they were really weird and had no friends at school, I think, after...

I've got answers... Sorta!
What is the “immaculate conception” & why celebrate it?
Did Mary suffer from pains of childbirth when she gave birth to Jesus? (If virginity can be defined as the presence of a hymen…) Did she give birth like any typical woman? Did the Blessed Virgin Mother retain her virginity after childbirth?
Why is it celebrated in the season of Advent?
No, this information...
2 College Regrets
1 - Taking Statistics over Linguistics or Calculus
2 - Not changing my major to Asian American Studies (which is my minor)
I’d be lying if I said that I don’t have any regrets about college. It’s not like I made the most horrendous decisions, it’s just that I probably took the more challenging route. But whatevs.
Work hard, play harder, & pray without ceasing.

Dear Glee fans,

I
Me: is it morbid for me to say that the happiest time of the quarter for me is finals week?
Me: it's when you see the strength of communities
Friend: hahahaha really?
Friend: explain
Friend: oh, thats not so morbid then
Me: and you witness the generosity of strangers
Me: and you realize that the custodial staff suffers with you (because of all damn trash students leave behind)
Me: and you realize that the tests teachers make aren't there to torture you and the really hope that you pass because it affirms their vocation
Me: and there's just so much hope and turmoil all in one... that everyone starts praying again
Friend: oh man, yeah its true
Friend: I've never really thought of that

just discovered this guy’s live session captures on vimeo. there’s some great ones (like coeur de pirate and 2am club, but i’m a definite fan of ra ra riot)
ra ra riot | too dramatic (wood & wires session)
…on the note of the great cinematography of this piece… I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL FINALS ARE OVER SO I CAN PLAY.

Mistakes
Maybe it was a mistake to meet you. Maybe it was a mistake to take your hand. Maybe it was a mistake to give you almost every piece of me. Maybe it was a mistake to let you hold my heart. Maybe it was a mistake to let you see my soul. Maybe.
Any other person would’ve called YOU the mistake, but I won’t. You were not mistake. You taught me how to love. *cue Lil Wayne song…*...
