Do Not Scroll

Why?

You reached to the point that you can’t longer stand [what you read from] the news feed.

Why?

You don’t want to end the day feeling like this.

Why?

You wasn’t expecting anything but you still can’t fool yourself.

Why?

But on the other side,

Why do you feel that way?
Why would you feel bad in an instant?
What do you really want?

(Un)Resolved

Daily Prompt: Resolved
Have you ever made a New Year’s Resolution that you kept?

I don’t remember writing any resolution on a piece of paper. But I do know that I think I committed at least two New Year’s resolution until now. Since I don’t have any documentation of those resolutions, it didn’t made any significant progress. Honestly, I can’t remember the first one (since the second is a recent one).

New Year Away From Home

Daily Prompt: Stroke of Midnight
Where were you last night when 2012 turned into 2013? Is that where you’d wanted to be?

Celebrating yuletide season (Christmas and, especially, New Year) in Manila is very festive and loud.

For my first time, I spent the holiday break away from home. I am currently on business trip in Yokohama. And fortunately, we had winter vacation (as supposed to Christmas break). Since we are currently on business trip only, we want to maximize our stay in Japan. Together with few of my colleagues, we went to Kyoto to spend the New Year.

2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 2,900 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 5 years to get that many views.

Yung Moment Na…

Yung moment na…

 

…pakiramdam mo, kahit naglalakad-lakad ka lang, na may spring yung sahig habang naglalakad ka kasi for the first time conscious ka nung lumindol.

…madalas ka nang managinip, halos araw araw.

…nagigising ka ng kusa sa umaga kasi may bintana sa tabi mo.

…nilalamig yung mga paa mo. Yun lang ung nilalamig.

…nag-sa-struggle ka sa umaga bago maligo kasi sobrang lamig.

…nagkatinginan kayo pero umuwas agad kayo ng tingin.

…gutom pa ka rin.

…dinedma mo yung paborito mong pagkain sa di malamang kadahilanan; di ka naman diet.

…di na naalis sa isip ko, sa kahit anumang sandali. Yown!

excited ka nang umuwi pero wala kang magawa at gusto mo na bumalik. Lols.

…na may kay jay sa mga plano mo. Haha.

TBD.
