One Lazy Afternoon on a Saturday.

Today is supposedly my rest day but I couldn't refuse our department manager's request to report in the office to coordinate things before we move things to production tomorrow, and besides I need to jumpstart my workaholic nerves before weekdays start again. Here I am, sitting on my desk gazing out of my window, i see a calm ocean and just across the street is a lush green park and beside me, the afternoon rays of the sun partly lights up my desk. The person I am coordinating with just left me out for an Iftar meal, an evening meal for breaking the daily fast for Moslems in this holy month of Ramadan and promised he'll be back by 8 pm. Every Saturday, we go to mass but here I am in the office listening to my playlist over and over again, letting time pass by before I go to the church and meet up with my family for the scheduled mass. The result? My first blog entry. HOOYA!

I've always wanted to be a blogger but work, time and other factors hindered me from starting it. What's the feeling of having one? Well, it's a cool feeling. Finally have onE (Look Ma! I am a blogger now! lol) Imagine you have your life (not entirely) published on the internet what you usually do and sharing your life's experiences. Imagine yourself as Truman in the 'Truman Show' or Ed in 'EdTV'. The only differences are they are on the TV and watched every second and they cannot choose what they can televise, whereas here on blogging as a channel, it's text based and you can cho0se what you can publish.

Before ending my first blog entry, I would like to share to you partly the lyrics of the song that I am listening right now courtesy of Mr. Edwin McCain, one of my favorite artists, 'these are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive, these are the moments, I will remember all my life, I've got all I've waited for and I couldn't ask for more.'

All of us have certain dreams, we aspire to be someone, to be somebody on the chosen career that we are into. Most of these dreams are self-centered I admit it even I, aspire to be someone, to be somebody, excel in my field and successful in my own understanding. We all have the right to dream but we should never let our selfishness take over us (remember Gollum from LOTR? good way to motivate huh? :) ). As the sun's rays shed light on my back casting a shadow upon my wall facing towards me, I've felt that God is just right behind me embracing me with HIS warmth... I went into a deep thought, HE knows what is best for me according to HIS own understanding not my own. Right now, I'm already feeling how much I should be thankful for what HE had given me as the greatest gift, LIFE. At this very moment, I've realized deeper how grateful I am to be alive, to be here and to share you what I've just experienced...
