Back The Drawing/Writing Board.

In the past year, many things happened which is also the same this year. Five years ago, I am a student. Today I am still and student, but graduating (hopefully this March). Changes, it happens fast, it happens slow. And though you may stop on things, which you think ends permanently but blooms again for a new season. 

It seems that I do need to get back in writing my thoughts to help me in my work and also in my studies. I loved to voice out my feelings and put them on a something permanent. So I can look back whenever I get out of the way, when things don't go my way, when I declare today is the end of the world. It's indeed an exercise for the mind, for the imagination that wants to be heard, for ideas needed to be recorded and executed. Maybe I would write something epic, maybe I'll write something that will create a revolution. 

looking back to assess my life again, it is still a big mess, financially unstable, slightly overweight, zero love life, far from my family. How low can I go? But I need to think and act, to make up all the things that I left unnoticed. That I have a lot of blessings and talents that the Lord gave me. 

In the Gospel yesterday, Elijah told the widow that her flour and oil will never dry out, and indeed it was overflowing. It was more than enough for her and her child. I then realized that, hey I do need to see that my jar is not emtpy, I just need to trust in what I have and I will be provided with all that I need. I also remembered the movie Suckerpunch, not just because of the characters, but the life lesson that it thought me. I have all of my weapons, now fight!

Now back to blogging, writing the novel/s and drawing. It's time for a reset.

Faithless - New Book, New Life.

Seriously, I do need to do something big this year 2012, if in case this will the end of the world. And aside from arranging my blogs and getting a new job, I am thinking of reviving my fiction writing skills again to start and finish a story. With Manual to Lyf now in the works again and felt somehow inspired to do a new story called Faithless, I hope to be more active in doing what I think I am destined to do and to share it with the world.

Indeed this word has struck me and will also have a big impact in my life, making this one a step further to what I used to write about.  And I do admit to have a love life (very) soon, which makes it a new experience for me. I'd also lost faith in so many things especially last year which  I entered a hell of suffering and hatred. Although on the brighter side, indeed I have grown into a better and blessed man. With people behind me, making me feel a worthy part of their lives had made a mark on me. 

I therefore invite you to join me until we have this story published (in paper) and can also bring inspiration. And to end this post with an excerpt from Science and Faith by the Speaks which provided inspiration (and hopefully) a soundtrack for this.

"You can break everything down to chemicals but you can't explain a love like ours"

Ang Pagbabalik...

Medyo napabayaan ko na ang blog na ito ng magatagal, pero napagisip isipan ko na kailangan kong bumalik kung saan ako nagsimula, sa blog na ito. Nabuo ito noong 2003 pa noong bago pa ang blogger at pagba-blog sa Pinas. Ang una pa nga nitong pangalan ay FOKKERPLACE.blogspot.com (dahil na adik ako sa anime na Power Stone at ang bida nito na si Falcon o "Fokker". Dito nagsimula ako sa maiikling mga blog o maituturing na ngang mga tweet sa panahon ngayon. Napagusapan dito ang mga trahedya sa buhay ko tulad ng pagpanaw ni Papa, gayundin ang mga rants ko sa matinding pagkagipit pero may time pa rin para maka blog. Ganun ako ka hooked dito at ngayon ay pawang kailangan kong bumalik sa dating format na tagalog at tuloy tuloy na pagsusulat, RAW ika nga.

Naisip ko nga na bihira na ako bumalik dito sa PERSONAL blog ko na fpjjr.blogspot.com. Ito sana ang aking sacred space sa panahon na nauubusan na ako ng bait at talino. Masaya magblog sa tagalog at dito ko lang ito maito-todo dahil ang Manual to Lyf ay ika nga nasa International level at kailangan sumunod sa mga standards.(Naks!) Lately ko na naisip na bumalik dito at magisip ng raket kung ano ang magandang gawain na tuloy tuloy para sa blog site na ito.

Naisipan ko ang Haiku 365 na ginawa ko sa papel kaso hindi natuloy dahil sa pesteng kasama ko sa bahay (alam niyo na kung sino kayo! P%^&*$#). Kung video naman, pwede din kaso dapat upload agad at kung pwede ma edit para mukhang presentable naman.

Masaya sa pakiramdam na maglabas ng sama ng loob sa blog kaysa sa trono. Pero minsan ang labas nito ay maaring mas mabaho depende kung hindi ako maingat. 

Bakit ako nagpost muli?

Simple lang.

Dahil sa pamamagitan nito napapagana ko ulit ang iba pang bahagi ng utak ko para kumilos. Magtype at makagawa ng isang kuwento. Dito nagsimula ako naging isang manunulat, dito nagsimula ang konsepto ng Manual to Lyf. Dito ako nahasa at napalago bilang isang indibidual. Korni ba? Ganito talaga ako at kita ko naman na naging effective ito para sa akin (ewan ko na lang sa inyo, kanya kanya tayong trip sa buhay di ba?).

 After almost 8 years ng blog na ito... Its time to have a make over...
