tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74186982011-12-14T12:01:16.838+08:00Chronicles of the life of a confused, discreet (as needed), penniless (yet loved) guy in the city of man. When his own life gets to be too boring for his own good, he turns his attention to other things more important than his simple yet chaotic life. Welcome to the eye of the storm, where calm and quiet disappear in a blink of an eye. Or something to that effect.Jherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345413857966417632noreply@blogger.comBlogger741100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7418698.post-1136343390073564832007-01-01T10:53:00.000+08:002006-01-16T12:19:24.150+08:00

No. Not to Cavite. I have done that last December.Yes. I have moved. Again. It's just my blog though.Please update your links and point your browsers to:http://jher.wordpress.comThat's my new place in cyberspace. But until I find the way to properly transfer all my archives from this to new address, I will be maintaining this for awhile.So to all my five loyal readers... thanks for the support!

More confusion, and scheming, and plotting… I mean planning, over Dinner. Fake smiles here, thumbs up there…Oy vey… so tiring!I’m sure this political drama is not yet over.Why we allow these maniacs to run our country is beyond me. I sincerely wish there’s a dimensional portal somewhere leading to a faraway land (Encantadia perhaps?) without politics, far away from these crazies we call

Happy Fiesta to all our Catholic brothers and sisters in Quiapo! The Feast of the Black Nazarene is considered to be one of the major Catholic fiestas in the country. Incidentally our district in Cavite, where our subdivision is located, is also celebrating the Feast of the Nazareno. So happy fiesta to them as well.Hope they can still celebrate it considering it falls on a Monday and after all

This may be the happiest Christmas my mother had since the death of my father 3 years ago.  My brother who’s an OFW in Saudi Arabia went home this December to celebrate Christmas with us.  This is also his first since he started working in the kingdom about 8 years ago.  My younger brother is also celebrating with us; this despite the fact that his religion is strict about the belief that

I know, I know. I have been blabbering about our transfer and thus everything I write here is connected to that event. Even this one.Anyway, because of the transfer, I have been thinking of ways to keep the Christmas spirit alive in our new home without breaking the bank.This may probably be the simplest Christmas we will have, but will be special nonetheless since it will be our first

We received shocking news today.  My paternal aunt, who lived just below us at our former house in Tondo, was discovered dead and has been decomposing for about a week now.  My brother who slept one night at our old house recalled the tell-tale smell of decay, which he thought was from a dead rat.  He screamed and cried upon realizing that it was our aunt after all.We were never particularly

Podcasting is relatively new in the Philippines. I have yet to hear a Philippine-based podcast which will interest me. For all you ignoramuses (ignoramusi?) out there, a podcast is pre-recorded 'radio show' in mp3 form which you can download and play on your computer or any mp3 player. Podcasting is mostly identified with using an iPod but since most files are in mp3 form any player would do (

I never realized that I will be uprooted from my place of birth. My father was born in Tondo and I believe his father was also born there as well.

By Rabbi Harold KushnerI was sitting on a beach one summer day, watching two children, a boy and a girl, playing in the sand. They were hard at work building an elaborate sandcastle by the water's edge, with gates and towers and moats and internal passages. Just when they had nearly finished their project, a big wave came along and knocked it down, reducing it to a heap of wet sand. I expected

When I started having my own job and my own money, I noticed that the gifts from really close family members (read: mom and dad) have stopped coming.

1. In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. That's where the phrase, "goodnight, sleep tight" came from. 2. The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." uses every letter in the alphabet.

I've always wondered about the skin whitening effects of the papaya. I remember back in college when I was really dark from ROTC, classmates would urge (read: beg) me to use the now famous Likas Papaya so that I'd get lighter (take note, not "whiter" as the ads would say, as only a miracle would make brown-skinned filipinos, white.)

Is age finally catching up with me? As with previous evenings, I came in prepared, physically, emotionally and mentally. This was the night. The "I miss you" sex we have been waiting for, for days. Over-all it was still as I was hoped it would be. Or was it? There was something missing. What could it be? I agonized for days (well actually a day lang naman) trying to figure out what happened

I'm on a high. I have been having intense feelings for an individual I met just days ago. I know that I should not be confused, I know that I should not jump into conclusions, but I also know that I have to take risks. I'm a cautious person. I do not cross the street without clearly checking if it's already safe to do so. I will ask the guard to check my bags even if he's already ignoring me and

Such an amazing turn of events. Just weeks ago I was moping around, feeling sad and lonely, wandering aimlessly (well actually within the Robinson's mall lang naman) and meditating on my past misadventures.

I feel as if my brain (or at the very least my ability to think) seemed to be particularly slow today. Maybe it's because I've been exhausted during the weekend by two days of sex (yes I have them) or partying (yes I do that too). I wonder what would happen if I had two days of partying AND sex?
