Early Morning Brownout

I woke up today feeling great and energetic. It is a great Saturday morning. The morning breeze is cool, the sunrise is perfect, and the birds that chirps makes me feel more lively.

For my usual daily routine and before anything else gets done, I always turn on my laptop first. I sit for a while and check my mails, my facebook, my twitter, etc. It would have been a pleasant start for a wonderful day. Until I noticed that I was not getting any internet connection. Then I realized that we don't have any electricity! Brownout! My laptop could handle around 2 more hours without being plugged but my router does not. Darn! What an early surprise to ruin my day. The internet is my second home. Not being able to get into the web makes me feel uncomfortable. But what can I do? Nothing. So I decided to get up and head for my room. Might as well go back to sleep. I turned the switch of my room lights on so that I'll be able to know if the electricity gets back. When I was about to close my eyes, the lights went on! Horay! Electricity is back! I hurriedly ran downstairs and opened my laptop. At last, I'm in the web.

I admit, I am and internet addict. ^_^

Old Photographs

Moments ago, I opened my facebook account to check for updates and notifications. While I was scrolling down my homepage's news feed, I noticed this new album a friend created. When I checked it.. wow!.. what are these photographs? Old pictures. Lots of funny, happy, and memorable photos. They were all taken around 3 years ago. I can't help but laugh and be amazed.

How I miss those good old days and how I miss all those friends that I used to hang-out with. Thanks to my friend who uploaded these photos! ^_^

Here are some pictures that was included in the album.


During Our Committee Planning in Midway Beach Resort

Our college's Christmas Part Celebration

Four Bottles of Beer

Four bottles of beer on a table with five chairs, sat by five people outside a convenient store sharing one common thing, friendship.

I was one of that 5 people and I had a beer in my hand. I was with friends whom I have not been able to be with for a while. It was an unexpected gathering. I never thought that a simple invite will lead into a small but memorable reunion.

I will not further give the details. That would be too boring to read. The same with all of my other posts, I would like to point out one thing. No matter where you go or what you do, as long as you have your true friends with you... a simple thing might turn out as one of the best memories you could cherish for a lifetime. Even for just 4 bottles of beer. ^_^

Are You Happy?

Are you happy?... Am I happy? Had been thinking about this question since a friend of mine asked me, "Malipayon lage ka plang?". Am I? Yes, I am. I am happy. Happy not because I have a perfect life but because I am contented with what I have.


“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

I am not famous. I am not rich. I don't own luxury cars and very cool gadgets. I know a few people, most of them are strangers and just a few are trusted friends. I don't have a perfect family. I never had a perfect and complete family for more than half of my life. I am not a boss in my work, just a regular employee that takes commands. Nothing special, very normal individual, but happy. Why? Cause instead of wishing for more, I stayed contented. I already have what I needed. I have a few but very trustworthy and reliable friends. An incomplete yet the most caring, loving and supportive family. A not so high paying job but definitely gives me satisfaction. And I don't have any health problems of any kind. At this moment, this is all that I need and it is much more than what I asked from Him. I have more than enough reasons to smile than to frown.

How about you? Are you happy? ^_^
