Sorry, I wasn't able to take pictures from the run. I was not able to to watch.

Sayang! It was the first time females joined in the run, although the fraternity said they had nothing to do with the two females who ran.

Perfect Partner


regarding dating
Originally uploaded by Mr. Mark.
People change no matter how hard they try not to. As you grow older, you mature and with each new level of maturity comes different ideas, different needs, and wants. The person who is perfect for you at 20 could be the person you hate when you're 35. Find someone who will grow with you, change with you, laugh with you and cry with you. A person who fills in where you lack, a person whom you can fill when they are lacking.

What about the perfect person? He/she does not exist. There are no perfect people only people who are perfectly meant for each other.

Blue on 3rd

Originally uploaded by C Saw.
Coming from behind with three losses and just one win, the blue team made it to the top three. After the 6th game we were tagged as the team awaking from slumber.

The only reason, I believe, we losed the 3 games is because some of our players were absent.

If I want to have something I never had, I must be willing to do something I have never done.

Ol is am,
Ol is mray.
Ran yon mergin

Oli iman so tener en may.
Slim in emenli mis.

If you still don't get it, it's 'Silent Night' the ngongo version. Try to sing it!

Meaningful


Sepoch Is.
Originally uploaded by C Saw.
I don’t exactly know how to live a meaningful life. Most of the time, I live life without attempting to make it a meaningful one. I don’t intend to live a meaningless life though. I don’t even know if life is supposed to have a meaning in the first place. Don’t we just have to live it?

If there is such thing as a meaningful life, I do have a feeling what a meaningful life isn’t about. I think that telling someone that they’re wrong, punishing them for their mistakes, making them feel like they’re a lesser person for being weak and pointing out that their doom is imminent because of what they did without a sincere concern for them and what they are going through doesn’t constitute a meaningful life.

Miracle


St. James in Bolinao, Pangasinan
Originally uploaded by C Saw.
I recently heard a news about an image of Jesus Christ appearing on the facade of the St. James church in Bolinao, Pangasinan. This according to some was a message for people to renew their faith. Some took it as a miracle.

Others say that during hard times, people always seem to look for, see and give meaning to things that would strengthen them. A coping mechanism. I guess the miracle is how people manage to do that.

Tatlong X


Tatlong Bilog
Originally uploaded by C Saw.
Noong Lunes, pagkalipas ng ilang taon, nakapagpagulong uli ako ng bowling ball. Meron kasing bowling tournament sa kumpanya namin at naisipan ng ila na mag-praktis. Tulad ng inaasahan, nagkalat na naman ako. 87. Yun yung score ko sa unang game. Tatlo na yung spare ko sa lagay na yun ah.

Ano raw nangyari sa akin? Bakit daw ganun score ko? May nagkakalat kasi ng tsismis na magaling daw ako mag-bowling. Noong second game, nagkunwari na lang ako na magaling ako mag-bowling. Kita mo nga naman! Naka-triple X ako! Napa-wow yung mga nakakita. 156 score ko.

Sinabi ko na nagkukunwari lang ako kasi kahapon, nagbowling na naman ako. Bumalik sa 86 score ko! At dahil nagkunwari ako nung praktis bowling namin, lagot na naman ako. Inaasahan nila na mauulit ko yung ginawa ko noong Lunes. Hirap talaga magkunwari.

Siguro sa Huwebes, unang araw ng tournament, pipilitin ko na lang uli magkunwari na magaling ako.

My Pants


My Pants
Originally uploaded by C Saw.
If my pants would tell a story, this one will tell the most interesting of all, so far. It would tell about the time I opened up to two strangers; let them reach deep within me, to the center on my guilt and without a word reassured me that its ok.

Opening up to somebody is like unzipping the fly and exposing a private part. Some find it difficult yet other’s not.

I have another pants, one with a dangerously low waist. It’s generally more daring and revealing. That pants will tell a different story, a story of restraint, reservations and frustrations.

My pants may tell some stories but don’t expect them tell the complete version.

So what does, your pants have to say?

Nag-iisa


Heto Ako
Originally uploaded by C Saw.
Pasakalye: Bago ang lahat naisip ko na i-post naman pic ko dito kasi meron isa dyan, akala babae ako. Di ko nasasabihin kung sino. Peace tayo! At saka wala po pala akong balak tumalon sa picture ha. Masaya ako kahit nag-iisa.

Kanina lang may dalawa ako naka-chat. Yung isa nagbabalak yata maging matchmaker. Tama bang i-reto ako sa iba? Ang dami ko daw kasi blog. Ang daming iniisip. Para daw mabawasan iniisip ko, mag-asawa na daw ako. Kung ganun lang sana kadali yun, tatlo na siguro asawa ko! Yung isa naman, atat na atat na magka-boypren. Ayaw na daw nya kasi mag-isa. Ayaw na nya manood ng sine, kumain at matulog mag-isa. Malungkot daw mag-isa.

Ako naman, kahit naghahanap ako ng kapareha nakikita ko pa rin sarili ko ayos lang kahit single. Sa totoo lang, napapadalas ang pakikipag-date ko ngayon. (Nagrereklamo na nga wallet ko. Payat na daw sya.) Pero ayaw ko madaliin. Masaya makipag-date. Masaya rin nagmumuni-muni mag-isa.

Hindi naman ang pagkakaroon ng partner ang ugat ng kasiyahan di ba?

Alam ko bawal. Pero yun ang gusto ko at wala naman akong alam na nasasaktan. Kaya tuloy pa rin ako sa pagkain ng oatmeal. Mabuti yun para sa puso ko.

It’s comforting to know that things happen for a reason. Knowing how it fits in the master plan, how nothing is random, to know the worth of the hurt that must be experienced, how it finally made sense, to be enlightened, is bliss. That’s heaven.

As for me, I’m not even close.
