"How in the world am I going to come up with 5 thousand words for this essay?"
"Ewan ko, honey, 5 thousand rounds lang alam ko."

I don’t think this blog layout is able to justify me anymore.
Back when I was in corporate hell, I thought the design was perfect as it made everything look in order especially during times when I would be desperate for sanity and sensibility. Now I simply do not know what I am desperate for exactly. And (gasp) I actually feel a little older and (phew) younger at the same time.
Have you ever had that feeling that you are the rope in a tug of war? One side is pulling me into the frills of having a life, the other one is dragging me into the world of constant responsibilities, mostly social ones, the prerequisites to a full-blown messianic complex.
How I long that this tug of war will end, really. That I can finally reconcile the desperation to buy those beauties in Pretty Fit and at the same time find the key to world peace.
I saw a campaign ad of one of the senatorial candidates. Si Ping ang kinabukasan??? WTF!!! I think I don't want to have a future at all.
I heard another ad on the radio. Chiz Escudero? The dumbass thinks he can solve the economic problems of this country by promising things that are unattainable and impractical. What can you really expect from a guy who doesn't really know the definition of the word, democracy? Ay tanga.
This country is really on its way to hell and every time it's election period, we're a yard closer to the pits of Satan.

"There are things out there that I want to discover, that one day this will all make sense... I am searching for the meaning of this cosmic existence that we're in. And
probably when I find the answer, I'll go and look for the anti-thesis."
5 THINGS
1. I sing in the University Chorale of the University of Asia & the Pacific, and we swept four gold medals in Greece for our very first International Competition. I got to do my two absolute favorite things: singing and traveling.
2. Although I am an Alto Two, my range widens up to Soprano One when I am drunk. Think Charlotte Church's Flower Duet. (I think it has something to do with swallowing the diaper pin when I was a baby). Dancing barefoot in debut parties may also be expected.
3. I work in an non-government organization focused on private sector development. It involves sleepless nights in the office and the constant worry of displeasing a former Secretary of Finance. My other two bosses are harmless.
4. I like my men in uniform. The Military has always been a fascination of mine even before when I was finishing a BA degree in Political Economy.
5. I no longer watch The Bold and the Beautiful much to the joy of friends and family.
