Speak Up in 2012: Say it all now

Say it all now.

Have you ever wanted to say something out loud but you can’t because you are afraid of what others might say? Have you ever wanted to defend someone but you can’t because you are afraid others might bully you too? Have you ever wanted to resist something bad and unjust but you can’t because you feel you are nothing against those forces? If yes, then you are not alone.

Mostly it is the adults speaking for us, the youth, for our future. They reshape the world. So as media. Media, though generally a good thing (entertainment, arts, information), it has reshaped our world far more than what we have thought. I’d like to share this song by a local artist, Neverending Weekend, entitled Say it all now. The song is about love, but I’ll use some bits of the lyrics differently.

2011: When life gives you oranges

My 2010 was ‘easy come, easy go‘. Highs and lows were unavoidable and it all came in a blur. My 2011 was different. I took on the end of my 2010 with a head start and readied myself for a joy ride that was 2011. Honestly, I couldn’t remember every detail of what has happened in the previous months of my 2011. It’s either I’ve grown to be forgetful or I’ve finally learned to live in the present. :)

Looking back at some of the most important happenings of my 2011, I’ve grouped them into several categories.

1. Financial – I spent less this year compared to 2010. In the beginning of 2011, it was like ‘where the hell are all my money now?‘ and that was one of the saddest questions I’ve asked myself. So I controlled myself in countless little things which included setting my monthly budget, minimizing night outs with friends, avoiding getting late at work, bringing rice for lunch, and many others. I didn’t save much but I’m happy with what I’ve kept aside. My friends know how financially strict I am. Frugal, in other words.

2. Travel – 2011 is a ‘low’ when it comes to my traveling. I wasn’t able to go with my friends to Baguio in September, and our Boracay trip this month was canceled. I only went to Manila and Bantayan Island this year. This doesn’t make me sad though. There are travels waiting in 2012.

Manita, made my wish come true

Merry Christmas! In the spirit of giving and receiving, I’d like to share the special material things I received this Christmas.

Coincidentally, my manita (correctly spelled monita) in the office is the person I picked in last year’s Christmas party! We just exchanged gifts in a span of one year. Anyways, we have a special bulletin in our office where we could post our wish list. I first posted a wired camera shutter for my camera, and thinking it was far out from the minimum amount, I willingly changed it to a book (plus handkerchiefs).

And guess what, I received both!

Micnova Remote Switch

I first received my new Micnova Remote Switch the day after our Christmas party. Why I asked for this is solely for the reason that Rose and I will not have problems taking photos of both of us when we travel this coming March. The added benefit of self-portraiture is a big plus too.
