9:21 AM I've watched the Disney movie, Coco earlier today. I really enjoyed it. I loved how the characters were developed, the animation so crisps and also the mix of colors and environment design. One day, I will create my own full film of such quality in story and visuals. I've purchased two books too: You're Weird by Bo...

9:08 PM It was just today that I was able to join a colleague visit someone from the hospital. Hospitals are those places where I would go there if I need to but would most often than not opt not to. The rooms and hallways were white giving it that dull but sterilized look. Can't the wall have...

9:15 PM Today, we were sent new schedules. I read the updated listing during a class that I will no longer handle in the semester. There were just a few kids present. There were only eight to be exact. For those kids, I treated their time as though it was the regular full population class of around 40-50....

9:17 PM This is the first week that I'd get to conduct formal classes and lectures. So far, so good. I am enjoying my schedule this semester and hope that the kids will enjoy it too. I've prepared and identified a breakdown of what topics we will be covering throughout the semester and I hope we'd be able...

10:20 PM I received an assortment of gifts a while back. Maybe things are finally looking up. I guess my days aren't so bad after all. I enjoyed flipping through the character reference book. I was a bit down lately but then things got a bit better. Maybe... just maybe... tomorrow will be a sunny day too. Lord,...

11:53 PM I've just remembered, I've wanted to post here today. Yet, I was caught up in podcasts, online games, creating art and updating online social media accounts. I like how productive that day had indeed ended. Lord, I pray for more days such as this. May there be happier ones in the future too.  ...

9:55 PM Just finished a game. At the end of it, one would either see a blue crystal emblazoned with the word victory or a red one with the word defeat. If you've played so many games as I have, you would know the familiar voice that announces the conclusion of each game. After each game, what do you...

8:10 PM I took a nap a little while back and now I'm in front of my laptop typing away as I take a bites from my chocolate bar and often take swigs from my water bottle. It was a long day. My day started relatively early as I was required to report to work by 7:30 am. The...

8:40 PM How many times do you need to talk to someone before they're no longer a stranger? Once? Twice? Maybe a bit more than that I guess. But then, when will you eventually call them an acquaintance, a peer, a colleague or even a friend? First impressions allows us to form initial perceptions of an individual. As of...

8:08 PM ...and so a new term starts. It does not have the usual hype of being around for the first day. Maybe everyone has gotten used to new beginnings by now or maybe because the delay caused the hype to run out. Whatever the case, what is apparent is those that I've met today seemed all too drained....

11:54 AM I woke up late today. The next door neighbors were playing music a bit too loud last night. Apparently, the number of people residing next door is increasing and with that came the increase in decibel level. I want to understand them, their situation and their way of living for their arrival has recently meant an increase...

9:13 AM In my head, I can hear music playing. It goes... Slow down you crazy child you're so ambitious for a juvenile... but then if you're smart tell me why are still so afraid?  In my head, sometimes I can't hear myself think. I'd like to do a lot of things--to make great accomplishment from plans and dreams...

9:58 AM The week's been a hectic one. There's no regular work just yet but the tasks would make you stick to your seat for hours on end. So I am thankful for this weekend lull--a time or even a day to just simply slow down before the work weeks starts again. I love the quiet neighborhood that I...

10:47 PM Today was that subdued cool and rainy weather. I like it. This type of weather makes me think and gives me that relaxed vibe. In the afternoon, we were able to go to this new food joint and tasted lots of items from their menu. I loved the Market Salad and the Chicken Parmigiano. I love them...

11:18 PM Since I have decided to resume writing and blogging, I was scouring the web for good designs for my posts and pages. I have to look, upload and test several of such designs whether there's a good fit to what I envision as the look and feel of my project. After several nights of searching, just a...

9:08 PM There's this familiar app most of you probably already know that was shown to me today. It was installed on a smartphone. Swiping right means you like the person in the picture and swiping left means you're not interested. If by chance both of you swiped right, you'd be able to talk to each other. Interesting concept....

10:30 PM It has been a long day. There's the usual line, lunch break, and then the routine movements of having to write things down on paper as one matches the records from the computer screen. Maybe the line will be a lot less shorter by tomorrow. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. Tired. Not the tiredness that one...

9:33 PM ‘Twas a busy day indeed! There were a lot of people everywhere and they were just there waiting. The line had meandered through the fourth floor with no one able to tell where it ends. None can determine whether the loitering crowd was just there to marvel or disdain at the length of the line. And...

7:44 PM I am at my desk typing away at my keyboard. These last couple of days, I’ve noticed that the evening comes earlier than usual. Maybe because we are in the latter part of the year or maybe because the time can barely wait till Christmas comes. Anyways, the second semester starts before Christmas. Actually, the first...

10:23 AM Okay. So this is the second entry for today. Actually I am rewriting the draft I made an hour back. Too bad I wasn’t able to save it. Anyways, I updated the program and since no prompts were made, I thought that the draft was save. But then lo and behold! It’s a clean page! Well,...

9:09 PM The day's almost done. From morning until sundown, today's activities followed one single theme: waiting. Waiting for the time to get ready to go to school... Waiting for the drawing test to finish... waiting for the next one in line for the verifying items on a checklist... Waiting... Just waiting... By the time Monday comes, I...

7:43 AM I woke up earlier than I had expected. Maybe because I've spent the bulk of the 2-day holiday sleeping in and just being around not really getting into a major project or any of that sort. It's chilly today. Rain is in the weather forecast. I whisper to myself, "It's okay." I got out of bed...

10:30 AM I've pretty much lived within a routine. I get up, dress up, go to work, go home, sleep and then repeat the cycle the following day. Yep! It gets a little too old very quickly and I do need to allow for things and activities that try to shift them around. It doesn't necessarily have to...

12: 55 PM Well now. It has been years since I have last made an entry here. I guess I have been way too busy with work and random things that translating memories into words have slipped my top priorities for quite some time. I'm quite happy that I got to writing this today then. I've just finished...
