jadeschamber-deactivated2013012 asked: Angel, how I wish I've read your blogs (especially the boyfriend blog) long before where I am in life now but I just want to thank you for being you. You're such a blessing and your insights have left me to re-direct my path in life. You're a beautiful person and don't you ever change! Keep on with the fight. I'm rooting for you. I wish I had listened to my parents and God...

Indian Soul
I am forever, forever grateful to have seen a glimpse of one of the finest people and choicest culture on earth. Here’s to the ever so precious Indian experience: This lovely girl, whose name I couldn’t pronounce, kept following me around for hours telling me I’m ‘beautiful’. Later, she gently whispered “I love you.” before I left their village....

Most Memorable Sun Dates
Paint my love, you should paint my love.It’s the picture of a thousand Sunsets.- Paint my love,Michael learns to rock This unexplainable love affair with the sun is really like no other. like no other. No words could ever describe the fetish. One thing I know for sure—the sunset has always been God’s way to my heart. It’s Him painting His love for me. I would climb rooftops...

Myth of Caffeine
If you’re a junior-senior student enrolled for six major courses that entail you to read as much as you breathe, you only need time, neon pens and caffeine. This is true for me, and I seem to work more productive under pressure and deadlines are my ultimate inspiration. Also, all-nighters here are natural (swear! I live in busiest building of Taft Avenue where students run for their lives,...

Lessons Fresh from the Farm
I see, I forget; I hear, I remember; I do, I understand.- Confucius Convenience and favor must be the ideal way of life for many. We think we get the best of life if we are filled with things that make this complicated life easy. Personally, I would really love to always stay in my comfort zone. Last summer, I had the experience that changed my life forever. ...

More than just Boracay
What were the things that romanced your heart? Every song you love, every memory you cherish, every moment that has moved you, has been given to you from the One who has been pursuing you from your first breath in order to win your heart. He knows what takes your breath away, knows what makes your heart beat faster. I hope we don’t miss God’s...

A Day in My City of Love
April 14“…I’m leaving this glamorous Taft Avenue, a sweet sweet sweet escape from the mighty land of smokers and filthy fast food. Farewell for now, world of gray sky, hidden sunset, and blurry moon. Two more days, I will see the better sunset, and the rest is epic. Lovely will meet beautiful and wonderful. Together they will take my breath away. There will be more stars, so much...

Project Pearls
After a very refreshing and detoxifying weekend in Baguio, I celebrated my Easter sunday with the less fortunate children in a dumpsite at Smokey Mountain. My ever socially-responsible/social warrior friend, Dave, invited us to do this exciting service together with the Cluster. We worked with Project PEARLS, an NGO that brings ‘Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love, Smile’ to...

First Gleam of Dawn
Here’s a very unusual pretty sunrise over the forever smoggy city of Manila (I tell you, this kind is very very very rare. :))). I started my work at around 8 in the evening, time just flew as fast as the speed of light, and voila, I just caught myself amazed by the beauty of the dawn at 5 in the morning. Yes, we have this traditional literally-sleepless night before the academic term ends....

15 mins of bliss in UP Diliman
I’m a tree hugger, an environmentalist and I have a very big big big heart for nature. That’s why I totally have no regrets for choosing the GREEN Taft Avenue as my home here in Manila. :))))) Haha! (If not for God’s plan…) You can just imagine the busiest traffic, noise and air pollution, smoke and smokers, pedicabs and jeepneys, whole day air condition, seven eleven,...
"Angel"
(Revelations From I Samuel :P ) “I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there.- Hannah, I Samuel 1:27-28 read more about this story here. ‘When I was little, my mother told me that I was a piece of blue sky that came into this world because...

Your tangible presence
I’ve been so consumed with all my academic works lately… I just caught myself deluged in so much stressssssssss and pressssssure. Deadlines to meet, papers to do, reports to prepare, tons of articles to read. Last night, while I was backing up my files, I’ve stumbled upon these pictures, and I believe it was just God reminding me of his refreshing grace. I remember what...

Forever and Always
Say Hello to our ever kulit and sweet baby brother, Lanz! He’s the most loving baby brother we’ve ever had. He’s very smart and clever. He’d stay up all day and night with you to ask questions and argue with your answers. After teaching him about the different states of matter, he’d argue with me that a PILLOW is not solid, because from what I taught him, SOLID is...

No Boyfriend Since Birth
I don’t want to walk this earth if I gotta do it solo. I’ve always wanted to be a picture of an ideal kid. But being in the realm of human nature of flaws and imperfection, that simply remained as my naive fantasy. The picture of (nearly) perfect and ideal, that is subjective. But in a life like mine, considering my principles and beliefs shaped by my upbringing, my family and my...

First Surprise for 2012
I’ve always wanted to be painted or sketched. You know, like the one we all see in movies done by a street artist in Europe. Because I wasn’t blessed with a gift of creativity or wasn’t given any sense of art, gazing at the gifted surely makes me stand in awe. My 2011 checklist had a space for “Have your digital portrait sketched”. But because of my very busy...

City of Golden Friendship
Hello City of Golden Friendships! Just like what they proclaimed their city to be, Cagayan de Oro City as the gateway to Mindanao, this city welcomed me in my most awaited moment of seeing the majestic South. Yes. Growing up hearing the rumors of war, hostage-takings and their different culture in Mindanao— I’ve always been so curious. Last April, I was so blessed when my friend Shari brought me...

Life Lessons on River Rafting
Let me say I’m more than blessed because Shari treated me with another trip to the South last November 26-29. Apart from the fact that it was for free again, the trip was epic because this time we experienced the adventure that CDO is best known for, white water rafting and river trekking. It’s one of the most memorable moments of my life. With the perfect bliss and peace, God bombarded me with...

Candy, Lights and Love in Eastwood City
I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil— this is a gift from God. I just had the loveliest weekend spent with my family. Saving the best for last, Sunday night wasn’t another ordinary night because we celebrated Candy’s 23rd birthday. Our manang’s all grown up!...

City of Smiles
I visited my room mate Joanne in her city of Smiles, Bacolod City. Just an hour ferry ride from my home town, we decided to just spend the whole day with her and get back to my city of love before the sun sets. It I’ve been to Bacolod once before, but I didn’t appreciate it as much as I did the second time. :)My favorite blueee sky! :))Well, when we travel, always care more about the...
