Extra-Ordinary Life

Saturday September 26, 2009 around 1pm. While we were unaware of the situation outside and while enjoying playing PVZ, water came inside our house. Panic! This was what happened. My brother and I rushed and lifted or removed all the things we can to avoid the water rushing in. The water was only 1 foot high inside the house and I never knew what was it like outside. It was the 2nd time water went in our house here in Sta. Rosa. I can say that I have some experience dealing with this but still, IT SUCKED! I cant blame our house for not being elevated since nobody knew that our location is prone to being flooded. Mud, mud and more mud came after. Back-cracking activities that require sweeping, scrubbing and mopping came next. Its now Tuesday and we are pretty much back to normal but mud outside still remains. Something that makes me feel a little better is the more dreadful damages Ondoy left in the Manila area. Houses disappeared and people stayed on top of roofs leaving everything belo...

I am recently realizing the advantages of being single. I have been single for some months now and last night I thought to make a list or the advantages that it brings.

Can go to places (anywhere) 4. Can be myself 5. Spend more time at church 6. Dont need to lie or sneak out 7. Dont have to spend for gifts and dates 8. Can hang out with anybody 9.

I hate this emotion that I am feeling lately. I feel no inspiration, no passion, no anger, no love. I don't know what's wrong. I feel soooo trapped in this world that I live in. I wish that I could just act the way I am. Not worrying about what other people think, and say. I wish there aren't back biting people around. Hindi naman ako sikat ah! So, why are you talking about me? Now I know why deep inside me I always wanted to run away. Stay outside the radar. Meet strangers. Jump from one place to another. Buying one way tickets not knowing what will happen next. How I wish. How I wish I am Free. Maybe this is a curse that Jesus calls persecution. People around you who knows that you are a SALT and LIGHT of this world just waits until you make that ONE wrong move. But of course the answer is still at the CROSS (reference from Louie Guiglio). AAAHHHHHH! I wanna be free!

Who doesn't know twitter by now? Twitter.com has become so popular that it also got my attention. I just recently started tweeting, those who want to follow me here you go: twitter.com/tweetwithvince , at I think it is awesome. In my own words, twitter is a website where you can constantly put a "shout out." It gives other people or your followers the idea of what you are doing. Its pretty neat! A lot of people use twitter.com now and even celebrities could possibly exchange tweets with you. I dont know what to say more about it. Haha! Just go make a twitter account and follow me then I will follow you too. XD

Every experienced waking up and thinking about stuff that you want or like? I sometimes hope that when I wake up in the morning someone (meaning a lover) will welcome the day and make your day the best in an instant. But this morning, with the thesis bugging my mind this past weeks I suddenly uttered out that I dont need anyone. I only want God. This is something even I was surprised. Maybe this is a sign of spiritual maturity? I dont know. I can say that I am not in an "on-fire" stage but it was real. I dont want anything that would replace the love I have for Him. Couple of times I experienced that I could replace my girlfriends for Him. Hope that I learned my lesson. I pray that when the time comes, I can still put God first. I put my future in His hands. My thesis, my gradutation, my career, my lovelife, my health, even my wealth. I deeply pray that when I wake up in the morning 2, 5, 10 years from now I will still have the love that I offer to the only deserving one. The...

Nope this is not the movie where a genius musician searches for his parents through music. Oh that movie was awesome. But this is MY August rush. Im doing this blog right now in the midst of all the chaos that college life brings. Im not talking about examinations, homeworks, or reports. Im talking about the last big obstacle that is in between a degree holder from an undergrad. This is the might THESIS. We are currently building a pole-climbing robot. I have 2 other groupmates working on this. We felt the pressure this month since this is our last term as a college student. And we dont have any plans of extending our stay. The thesis started last summer (April-May in the Phils.) and we did very little up until June. The only thing we accomplished was many modifications of the mechanism and construction of its body. Now in our last month, we are bombarded with programming, final constructing, and paper works. The documentation of the thesis is very important and now we only have 2 week...
