I may not be a celebrity to do this but I want to extend my deepest apology of being called a "grammar police" in your end in such a way that I was like hmm.......... or you have just considered me sarcastic in any way. As to consider my regretful acknowledgement of this offense, I hope that you will conclusively accept this - from the bottom of my heart because as of this moment, I still can feel the resentment in your end (don't know if this is the right word to describe for such, I apologize again.). It happened last July 2017 and seemingly up to this moment I'm suffering this kind of sentiment especially when I can see in your posts that relate on my end(or maybe I'm kinda paranoid, ain't ?).

You just don't know how I regret for that joke on email (as I considered) that has big of impact in your side. It started to ruin the friendship that I highly appreciated before that thing has happened. I thought it should have been fixed during the party in Ladislawa (Davao City) but turned out to be like cliff-hanger that we have not talked about it at all. What I'm afraid about is the so-called domino effect like some fake news that trend usually in social networking sites nowadays. How I wish I could turn back in time that we had some casual conversation which built a friendship, anyhow.

If you could only know how and what I feel everytime you have some words / posts that hint me or indirectly point towards me.

If you could only observe how I handle things rightfully in terms of "should be a reply / comment" in some cases.

If only you could recall the things we’ve done as colleagues before this mess happened.

If only I don’t have a strong personality, like a fierce one.

If only I could let you wear into my shoe, how should you feel?

If only you could recall the things you’ve done to me after that email joke.

If only you can see the inner side of me that may not be seen superficially.

If only you’ve known me even 10% as they say an audience impact.
         If only you know that it was "no offense meant".

If only you know me more.... and we know each other more... 
         If only ...

        I'm not actually doing this for some reasons except to let you know I'm sincerely apologizing for everything. I know that this won’t automatically be fixed but I’m hoping and praying to make it up to you somehow. I miss joking around with you Ma’am Jay Ann!

It's the President's power to execute the law covers.... [as may say]... ..especially that his primary goal for the country is for the oneness of all, that’s for peace! Personally, I could think that - on his first quarter of presidency, former presidents are given such honor and gratitude no matter what the previous regime has resulted even up to this day. One great example is the Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo’s freedom now! This is really a mark or signal for us to be united even there are some contradictions for such. This next controversy which is letting another former President to be considered as hero would apparently another thing on the idea so-called “debt of gratitude”. For this, I firmly believe that President Rodrigo Duterte really is the man who can let the spirit of being a Filipino come to attest in many ways to the world.

Given that “we can’t please everybody”, the notions from the opposition party on the division of country – maybe in idea or thought, can possibly get an impact to the old generation especially to affected martial law victims. Yes, we can’t avoid such thing because it is not just easy to forget when wounds are not healed still. Anyway, as a young one, I am looking into the brighter side of life on moving forward for everyone’s sake and well being. 
      Such realization for the Marcos' burial is something I am  anticipating for ...

          I do believe that our fate has already been made perfect, no matter what it is - it was meant for us. God never fails for He made us uniquely by His own will. In my case, he just let me live without a Father beside me as a domestic one for guiding me all the way from the start. Me, at the age of two my father passed away and I can never remember what he looked like during those times. Though I can see some of his photographs, but it is really different seeing his moves, facial expressions or gestures personally. Figuring out all these things makes me sad that I only bear it in my mind - loving a person in my imagination. Though there were times I wished for death (not the extent of suicidal) because of sadness and loneliness but with the help of my loving Mama. Grand mama and our Almighty God, those tears disappeared and became an inspiration for survival. I can't stop the death of anyone even my Grand Mama. She passed away in 2005 (another sadness to bear) and this was my greatest grief of all times. It hurts a lot even nowadays, and I think this would be forever as I still can't get over her death.  Even from the very start, my Father's absence is one big emptiness in me. A Father figure is what makes a family complete so as Mother lightens up the home and family.
            My Father would have guided me according to his decision as a Father. He would have been there for me in many times of my life, through thick and thin. He would have been teaching me how to be strong and face the world graciously. He would have moulded me as a man, to be real man.  I would have been there for him as a Son, truly is for his Father until their time is through. He would and I would have been forever in each others' arms - My wish, that will never ever come true, until we are both safe, in the arms of Jesus.

Poverty is the best diet

         "Poverty is the best diet". I repeat! Perhaps, it maybe joke or not! Here in Philippines as a  Developing Country, expect that most of the people are suffering poverty. It's maybe an advantage for us to be slim as we just do our thing not extending effort and spending money to be slim and be called sexy.

         Actually in some parts of the world, they are not fond of eating, but here in Philippines, eating is almost everything - that we eat three times a day (the main meals), and snacks at least twice a day. (in the morning, afternoon and midnight snacks.). Hence, we are accustomed to that, we usually look forward of that food trip every now and then. When having party, the food is the main attraction of all. Well, you are in a diet when you cannot do such eating routine everyday. Diet is then be considered when things happen like these. For the rich people, diet is still eating!(with less cholesterol food). Thus, the best diet usually happens here in the Philippines as a poor country because we are already accustomed to it- the fond of eating. Yeah! Guys, that's really true as lack of food best describes to more dietetics here.
         Food Poverty can be considered an urgent issue to some developing countries. Though poor families have enough foods to eat but other issue would be: “The quality of diet is Poor”. That’s another issue concerning people on a diet. Personally, eating a balanced diet is sometimes disregarded because of the lack of Nutritional Education, Financial Factors, Lack of Appetite, and the Lack of priority into Food and Nutrition.

              Being a breakthrough invention throughout the history, the Internet is one of the reasons why I studied Computer Science way back in college. The idea came with the thoughts to be good in Computer Programming, Graphic Designing and Web Development, BUT that was it - it never became a big impact to me – that’s because there were circumstances that can’t be avoided.(Obviously, not serious in that endeavor).…. Yeah I know guys! That was the waste of time that I should have given my best shot. So hard back then!        
          Anyway, everything is never too late; I was inspired by my classmate Ms. ChiQ Montes to be into Blogging even before Cdobloggers Inc. started 3 years ago as an organization. She’s just simply brilliant. One I can’t forget about her when she scrutinized my 6 year-old blog for having a diary-type one. Yeah it was and I loved the statement she made.      
       A “Restart of something new” (as I call it) happened just months ago about my way of blogging. – That a newbie does as an option for coming up with good writing. (That’s my money site all about!). There I came up with an insight that blogging is not purely about writing and not everyone in blogging likes to write. Perhaps it is just a plus especially when you have passion in it.

The following are my reasons and pledges being a blogger through my so-called BLOGGING Acronym of action: Why do I blog?

Boosting my capability in writing - as a thinker, consider planning as an investment of time to come up with good ideas.

Let be friendly or sociable online. - by welcoming new ideas, posting other venues for advertising and be persevere.

Offering time to myself in blogging for I can be satisfied and be happy with my personal flair and imagination.

Grasp knowledge in any aspects of life through being flexible in any cause.

Growing into my blog – expecting somehow I will be good into this field.

Indulge wider horizon virtually and personally.


Neverending learning process as they say it, a definition to myself.

Generate money as well! Why Not?
