EDSA Revolution lives on

I am no EDSA baby.

But the rich history of EDSA Revolution amazes me.

The people.

The shout.

The passion.

Everything about EDSA is an apple of my eyes.

I love the abstract concept of EDSA that I even wanted it to happen again.

Now, 24 years after, do we still have that fervent spirit to fight against the government's crime and corruption?

Elections is fast approaching.

We see TV spots of candidates running for a certain position.

We see tarpaulins around the city.

We even now hear jingles as irritating as it can be.

And I think the spirit of EDSA will live through the coming elections.

I believe that such spirit will spark amidst all these and ignite that righteous thought to vote for who is the best person to sit as our next president.

There will always be that attempt to fabricate the results.

But I know today's Filipinos will stand up for what is right.

Amidst all the adversaries in our country, I still believe that when the situation calls for it, the Filipinos will still unite along EDSA to fight for what they believe.

Filipinos will still raise their voice as high as they can for the government to hear them.

Filipinos can still put down a president.

I believe in you Pinoy.

I believe in you.

Buwan ng Wika sa buwan ng Enero


Matagal na rin akong hindi nakakapagsulat ng Filipino.

Kahit ba sabihin nating ito ang pangunahing linggwaheng ginagamit ko sa araw-araw, iba parin ang pakiramdam na makapagsulat gamit ang sarili mong wika.

Hindi naman siguro masama na kahit minsan, balikan mo ang pinaglakhan mong wika.

Kumusta naman kaya ako pagkatapos ng dalawang buwan kong pagtrabaho bilang manunulat?

Masaya.

Yun naman talaga ang importante sakin e.

Mahirap, sa kabilang dako.

Dahil hindi sapat ang kinikita ko.

Pero alam ko namang darating ako dun.

One step at a time, ika nga.

Sa ngayon, nagpapakalango na lang muna ako sa trabaho.

Hanggang dumating ang panahon na masasabi ko'ng, ito na yun.

Pero sana po Panginoon ko, dumating na siya sa lalong madaling panahon.

Pressure ba Lord? :)

Start of dreams coming true

Where does everything start?

And I wonder how?

I always go back to Miley Cyrus' song, The Climb.

As the song goes:

"Ain't about how fast I get there,
ain't about what's waiting on the other side,
It's the climb,"

Starting out, I have always been a huge fan of advertising - it's creativity amazes me. And yes, I dreamt of being a copywriter.

I wish to someday win my Tambuli, Araw Award, Kidlat, and if opportunity allows me, that Cannes Grand Prix.

Too much of a dream?

I say, it's wishful thinking.

Going back to the question, where do you start?

You start dreaming, wishing that what you have in mind comes to reality.

Then comes, looking for the way on how you get there, the good and best way of course.

And when you get there, you stay and try to be the best.

Where does it end?

You are the one to tell it.

One key is to be happy and cherish every moment of it.
