And I'm back... What did I miss?

After a hiatus of a year and a half, this blog is back. With 6 months of 2010 come and gone, I thought it would be a good time now to revive this blog just to document what goes on in my life. To be sure, it has been a, well, eventful 6 months. It’s had its share of ups and downs. Sounds cliché, sure, but it’s been full of stories that it’s been hard to imagine that I still have July to December to look forward to for this year.

Going back to Manila from Cebu has been one of the biggest things that have obviously happened. Not easy adjusting again from the easy pace to the fast life, living with the traffic, even to the language. It’s been a learning experience especially with all the people I’ve had to interact with. Whether it be inside or outside work, it has been an enjoyable challenge. I didn’t expect to hit it off right away with my new team at work, but they’ve been great to work with and learn right away. Now that I’m in another department as of this month, more challenges and more opportunities to meet other people and learn from them are expected.

Obviously another big change has been moving on from my previous relationship. As painful and difficult as it has been, I know it’s for the better. God has His own way of fixing us up, and I know this is one area that I probably had to learn to let go of. What the future brings in this area, I don’t know. I’ve decided to take a break from that so I can see what kind of person is really suited for me. I feel that this won’t be forever, and I look forward to see what God has in store for me.

I’ll be posting more stuff in the coming months, especially with the World Cup almost over. There are things I learn every day , and they are definitely worth sharing.

The Science Of Cam-Whoring

So I was listening to the radio here in Manila today, and the DJ talks about how cheap it is to own a digicam nowadays. Not surprisingly, the narcissists in folks come out, especially when they score a brand new camera. Because of this, it has given rise to the term "camwhoring." I think we're all familiar with this term. Just visit any person's profile in Multiply, Facebook or Friendster and you get the idea, especially if it's a 500 picture album entitled "~!me!~" Looking at camwhoring made me realize that there practically countless ways of posing and holding a camera when taking a pic. Here are some of the examples I can think of: 1.) The arms-forward picture of yourself and/or with a group. 2.) The top view arms-forward pic (to hide the double/triple chin and show off the cleavage or man-boobs). 3.) The bottom view pic (when not listening to your teacher or bored during a meeting). 4.) The picture of yourself while looking at a mirror, wit...

Processing LeBron

Image
By now, every Tom, Dick and Harry knows about the "Decision" of LeBron James to go to the Heat. Much has been said as well of all the controversy and the fallout of what he has done. It makes for an interesting case study because of the economic and emotional factors involved. We all know LeBron was a local Ohio boy who was considered one of Cleveland's own. That he left them to join Miami - on international television, no less - is really one hell of a very public breakupd. Everybody has an opinion on this, me included. Sports fans would know that Cleveland is not Boston, New York or Los Angeles in terms of championships. Why? Well, it's because they consider themselves cursed, as this article brilliantly lists . The Cavs have never won an NBA title, while the NFL's Browns last won in the 1960's. Baseball's Indians have it worse, last winning in 1948, and were two outs ( two outs!!!) away from winning the World Series in 1997. So the people of ...

A Funky Kind Of Blog

This is really Simon McMenemy’s fault. It’s his fault that I had to follow his twitter handle, and that her avatar and twitter name had to come out on “People to Follow.” I saw that she looked cute and must like football, too. So I followed her. No activity was done from my end for the next two weeks (I swear, it was two weeks, no stalking involved. Except for that one time about Anne Curtis.). It’s funny though how one innocent question posted on Twitter can lead to so much in the last four months. A question posted on the schedule of the Community Shield lead me to reply, then lead to comments about the game. After the game, it turned to tweets  about music. Turned out that she is a singer, and a passionate lover of music and the arts. I thought that she was somebody special, and worth gettting to know more. So I thought of saying something as simple as tweeting and texting “Good morning, beautiful.” I didn’t expect that it would make such an impact to her, and ...
