jammin’

Every once in a while you want to find time to go back to something worth doing. To me, that “something” is music. I was way younger when I learned how to play different musical instruments. I also learned the value of taking good care of the instruments because they were not bought cheap. I played with Yamaha or Korg keyboards, Pearl drum sets, and fender acoustic guitars. They’re in no way cheap because these are high quality instruments I couldn’t even afford to buy one at the moment. If I do, I’d forget about eating or going anywhere for two weeks! They’re all quite expensive but when you start playing with them, jamming is definitely a bliss. Nothing compares to listening to good music.
once upon a time

once upon a time, i lived a happily-ever-after. once upon a time.
I smile, even though it gets all the more painful each and every day. But what I can do but wait and work even harder? What can I do but save more and spend less? I can only provide some things for me to get some work done, but I can’t do Pediatrician Jobs, that’s totally out of my scope. Seriously, it hurts when I think about my girl having to be with someone I don’t really trust. She said she’s going to be fine, and we’re going to be fine.
But what can I do to not let it happen? I can either stop myself from being jealous or continue to support her to whatever she thinks is good for her and the children. I should be telling myself to let go of the negative and erase those bad thoughts, because at least, I am the one she loves. and because I am the one she loves, I’ll do everything from here onwards to be the right one for her. No matter what.
Happy New Year

Happy New Year!
Started the new year with my family. It was sort of awkward because there were some things that happened last year that are too embarrassing for me to tell, so I’d rather not. Moving forward, my girlfriend and I decided on something really huge for this year. I decided to move back with my family for be to be able to focus on work and for her to get back to working and not getting stressed of my addiction towards going online. Also, we think there’ll be more opportunities for both of us if we try to focus on our individual careers and not rely too much on each other. I’ve become overly lazy towards non-work activities so I’d have to change that. I’m lucky that she knows how to understand the situation we are in and is hopeful of how we both could become someday.
Also, there’s a construction going on just a few meters away from our store. I hope they would provide a white noise machine so it wouldn’t be too noisy for everyone most especially at night time. It’s not healthy for our kids and even for us adults. The store’s sales is a bit slower than the last couple of months because of two reasons:
* Too many Holidays since Christmas so people don’t have much money to spend on these days. Business is rather slow.
*Because of the on-going construction, people are afraid to go near our store because they might be massacred by the backhoe…sort of.
We’re praying we’ll get through this hard and difficult time. Hopefully, this year would be as beautiful as last year.
and so it happens…

One of the things that make life worth living is being able to live for others. I haven’t perfected the craft of being more humane and kinder, but I always take in heart the value of goodwill and giving.Sometimes, you need to take a time off just to let your baby jogger city versa once in while, not because you are obliged to do so, but because it is your responsibility to do it. Sometimes, you feel exhausted because you are giving up a huge fraction of yourself to let others be. It’s hard but just a few more practice and I will be able to suck it all up and be happy because things are far better than yesterday’s.
White Christmas
Posted by kai | Filed under Uncategorized
As I was going out of Abreeza earlier, I noticed one of the stalls decorating their store with a white Christmas theme. I wonder if they ever sell Bolle Gravity ski goggles. Not that I’m interested with it, it’s just weird that a Philippine store’s concept of Christmas is White–something that is very ironic to do since we’re an oriental country.
Pasko ng Pinoy, the idea of decorating a store with something that really is familiar to all Pinoys. Lechon, fruits, and fiesta-like atmosphere is very Filipino-like. It’s familiar. It’s beautiful. In my opinion, the theme is more inviting that faking a white Christmas.
Home Furnishings

One thing I wish to have before my 25th year ends is that I should at least get a Pag-ibig membership so we could buy a house. I love the thought of going to home furnishing depots and buy teak wood patio furniture for the garden which is across the mini, one-lap swimming pool. The house should be one storey as Dimple likes it. I’d like to have an underground/basement for a mini theater and music studio. I’d be drooling all over if that happens. Also, we’ll have our own office and mini library. There will be a living room full of techy stuff as well. and the kitchen–it should be classy as well.
I can’t wait.

In the Philippines, it is very rare that a person subjects himself to a rehab treatment in malibu rehab treatment center when he drinks more often than an average person does. Not even self proclaimed drug addicts–it is very rare to see them submit themselves to the care of health professionals. Why is this so?
In my opinion, the norms dictate that when a person submits himself to a healthcare facility to treat addiction, the case of that person is probably very severe that it needs such an attention. Also, it costs a lot if you seek for treatment. Given that the Philippines is still a developing country, most of the people are poor and cannot afford a decent health care service, it is really difficult to seek for treatment.
What’s the role of the government here?
1. I think that the government should continuously help disseminate information on drug use and drug abuse.
2. The government should help raise funds on rehab.
3. The government should aid after-rehab patients to get a decent job or small business.
4. That they should continuously give moral support and advice to these after-rehab patients.
Surplus

I just went to CDRKing Abreeza to buy another power cord for my computer. While waiting for my turn to be served, I found out that the document imaging software we’ve been eying on was on sale. We’ll probably buy it at the end of the month (if we won’t be changing our minds).
Here’s the family’s wishlist:
- Own electrical source
- Airconditioner
- Nikon point-and-shoot camera (or better, a DSLR)
- Photo Printer
- a Double deck bed
- a house
- a car
- and all credits erased.

It’s quite difficult to have your house overhauled most especially when:
- You have a little grocery store in it.
- You have things (a lot of things) inside the house.
- You do not have any helper who can help your household.
But today, we’re very happy that finally, the housekeeper we’ve been hiring once in a while agreed to be a mainstay. In the next days to come, we can expect to have a cleaner house which will make us peaceful. On the other side of the story, I’ve read that there are incontinence products at disposablemedicalexpress.com which are really effective. I think my grandfather on my maternal side needs it. This wouldn’t be too bad for a Christmas gift, eh?

When I was in high school, I got pwned by one of my classmates if I could ever read “barcode”. Innocent as I was (back then…*evil grin8), I didn’t really think that it was a joke. So, I honestly told him that I couldn’t read the barcode since I’m not a barcode scanner. I was surprised that he laughed like there’s tomorrow and showed me the exact word, BARCODE, and asked me again if I could read it. Well, that was such as shame.
Since then, whenever I meet new friends or old ones, I often use that trick to break the ice and warm up. It works every time. Although I am not so sure if they see me as a bad ass or just someone who jokes a lot. My bad. Yay.
