It's certainly gross.


THE PARTRIDGE BEHIND THE PEAR TREE!


"SI EYCH EY EN JI EEH"

Change. The only permanent thing here on Earth. Eventually, all of us will die, shrivel and turn into dust, birds will have to lose all of their voices, and the light will have to turn into darkness, but still, Change is there. All of us change, in physical, emotional, moral and spiritual aspects. Did you ever notice that when you were still at 4, you can't even reach the faucet to wash your little hands? Or maybe, during your childhood days, you can't even feel "love"? That's it. Change. Change is the suspect of making you what you are now. I made this entry, because I felt more and more people Change. Not only "CHANGE" in the better side, but also "CHANGE" in the more bad side. You can't put time in a box and stop it from running, that's why I said to myself, everything is still normal. One thing I noticed about the people around me is they are shifting to the 'evil' side. I'm not an angel to say this, but they are growing and nurturing their own horns! My goodness. The things those people around me make are subsequently turning worse. I am really worried about what is happening. I am their friend. But I will still consider the fact that all of us eventually will come out of our shells and breathe the air, whether its fresh or not. But I cannot consider a hypocrite. A person who said that those things are bad, or evil, but in eventually, he/she did it. *Laughing* But the "but" is, I can't stop Change, to change each one of us. the thing is, I really cannot make myself to get used to those people that are doing it. I am hating the wrongdoing, not the doer. This just proved that Change can divert your whole personality, either from 'good to bad' or 'bad to good'. Change doesn't consider impossibilities, because to Change, everything is possible. 


P.S.: Bato-bato sa langit!!! I am not reffering to someone, or a group of people, because, I am NOT you father.

Bu-ongon!

Bu-ongon! (Pomelo)

RETREAT~!


We've been here!

           I think, one of the most memorable events in my life is the recent retreat. It opened my eyes to endless possibilities, great serenity and made me reminisce those wonderful and colorful memories since elementary. Alongside with great mentors, we executed a bunch of team-building activities, such as "Making a Machine", 'The Grip-the-Finger Game", and the "Fit a Whole Barangay in One Newspaper". I really had a great time with my friends, and acquaintances. Later that day, we ate our lunches and dinners along with everybody, and that hit me hardly in the head because it's my first time to see all of the 4th-year Students eating together, laughing, under a roof. The night approached and tinted the whole place black. After resting a little bit, we went on the place's session hall, where we sang and worshiped God. After all those singing, we were asked to do an activity--an activity I think everybody is waiting for--the confessions. Since I am not that desperate to display my publicity on the web, I shall not share even a tiny bit of those who confessed to me and those I confessed to. Later that enriching activity, we were told that it's already late in the evening and its time to take some power nap. Personally speaking, I did not sleep for the reason of I can't sleep. I think I slept a little bit outside our designated rooms. What I did in our rooms was to chat, eat and rest a little bit. I said to myself, "This is going to be fun!", when my close friends, Meg, Joon, and Caoilate decided to go to the canteen to buy some friggin' snacks. It was about 3 in the morning, so everything was painted all black. T The only reason I joined them because I thought they were going to the creepy Gazebo. But before the goosebumping experience of ours, we really had a fun time, I and Caoilate, because both of us are very observant in grammar, pronunciations and spellings. The situation was like this, Caoilate tried to buy some coffee with a hundred-peso bill when the clerk promptly said " Ay wala man miy SHENZ!"

          I really tried to hold back my mouth from laughing so we just looked at each other where we laughed sarcastically in our minds. The clerk was trying to say, "Ay!, wala kaming change", or in English, "We have no change!". But Filipinos, as very forgetful at times, tend to mispronounce words in English. After laughing our asses off in the canteen, we decide to go to the friggin' gazebo, so it looked like this:



       So as you can see, this gazebo is strategically located on a very wonderful scenery, and here, we witnessed a very unforgettable moment which sent my nerves into a jump. Joon, Meg, Caoilate and I, were in the gazebo. Joon were sightseeing if he can see a thing in the pitch-black forest, while Caoilate, Meg and I, were just sitting there, because of the chilly winds. Suddenly, Joon broke the peace because he said he saw a priest, in the woods. The priest's clothes were glowing, Joon firmly said. Knowing that there is a Missionary in the other mountain, I felt creeped. So, being a runaway rat, I quickly ran into the path while covering my ears until I finally found myself in our designated rooms. We told them what happened but they all laughed. Dawn is imminent, repainting the skies with vermilion paint. We quickly went again to the damned Gazebo and I was dumbfounded when I saw the "priest" was only a piece of cloth, hanged in wires for drying. OK. The next activities were like a bit of cliche already, but still we enjoyed and learned something from it. I, myself, was blessed by the ambiance the place and I really felt reborn again, into a new, and a more clean individual.

Cats are omnivores.
To many people, cats are a lot cuter than dogs. Their almond-shaped eyes, small noses, medium ears, small paws, and variety of fur colors are the most noticed features. 

When they sleep, they often sleep on their sides, with their paws at their muzzles or chest. This creates a toddler type appearence. To cat lovers, this appearence makes them feel happy, which, in return, makes them see the cat as cute. 

As you know, the sleeping cat has a toddler type appearence. This then activates a special hormone in a human's gland, creating a sense of well-being, or friendship. This feeling is stimulated through the brain as motherly or fatherly love, which makes the cat's appearance levels rise. This makes the cat seem cuter to the human. 

Cats and dogs are cute due to the reasoning that they are good for humans. Cats kept away rats that carried illnesses in the past, and dogs kept away any dangerous animals and humans. So it should come as an instinct for most of us to love them. 



Let's give this Manatee a Chance!

I think Manatees are CUTE!!
