Welcome to my world, my thoughts, my emotions, my rants, my stand, my say.

A friend of mine yesterday said, (nonverbatim) “There’s something wrong with our generation. We can never settle, we always want change.”
It was a moment of enlightenment.
And I do agree, we are the generation of change. We experienced a childhood of playing outside until dark, and then eventually instead of meeting our playmates on the playground we switched to meeting them online.
We are the generation of technology. And our lives has become as fast paced as technology is. And we have grown to enjoy this dynamic world. We detest boredom, we can’t stick to routine work for too long. We seek adventures, we are hungry for the adrenaline rush of new things. We just can’t stand still.
Our environment shaped us to be this way. We learned to adapt. Unfortunately, our adaptation have some undesirable side-effects.
Because we want a dynamic life, we became allergic to commitments. We get bored easily, and we cure boredom with change. Young professionals from our generation hop from one career to another because months of doing the same work everyday kills us. And as frequent as we change our clothes, we also change our partners.
We just can’t seem to settle. We always look for what’s missing. We always think that there is something missing.
We will never know our place in this world until we learn how to settle.

2012 really was one unforgettable year, and by far the most heartbreaking year for me. It was full of ups and downs. Well mostly downs, but for some reason remembering 2012 puts a smile on my face. I stayed happy despite the troubles that 2012 brought mainly because of my family and friends. I felt loved. And I’ve grown from the experience of surviving a low point in life.
So let’s cheers for an awesome year and reminisce the 12 months of 2012.
JANUARY
- A new outlook for a new year. I remember saying that this time I’ll grab every opportunity that comes my way, that I’ll take chances and learn to live.
- 2011 left me with a broken heart and a bruised ego and I promised that I’ll move on… and I did!
- Met new friends.
- Somebody stole something from me.
- Inuman night with Yakal boys. It was fun especially when Badz was already drunk and he was saying out loud, “42 divided by 7 equals 4.2!”. Then he would ring the doorbells na madaanan namin at tatakbo. Crazy night with drunk Badz!
- Celebrated Camille’s birthday sa room with Raf-the-pornstar. Hahaha
- Watched Segunda Mano with Red, Sef, and Kuya Mon kasi matatakutin si Red. Though it was more of a comedy for us.
- First time ni Alfred mag-moonleaf, sa Katips pa with Saleem, Klar and Christian. We challenged the staff of Moonleaf to dance Teach Me How to Dougie against Saleem.
- My photo got picked as one of the Top 10 Creative Shots for Inhenyero2012.
FEBRUARY
- A not-so-happy birthday for me. It was a day full of tears and drama. I never got to celebrate my birthday because the atmosphere all around was just not right. Hopefully my 2013 birthday will be loads better.
- G223 reunion and videoke night. Look at that.. so pretty my friends!
- First time to smoke. It was my choice, no peer-pressure involved. I just wanted the experience. My first stick was Lucky Strike Menthol.
- Batch Bunny Apps Night at Balay Kalinaw. Yung food lang yata naalala ko dito. Hahaha
- Had my 1st job interview in a big company. It was scary and I was not really prepared but it was also a good experience and I did better in my succeeding interviews.
- I did not have a date for Valentine’s Day but who needs a date when you can hang out with 16 guys! Question of the night was, “Ba’t kasi kayo ganyan?”.
- February is election season in UPD and I was in-charge of the campaign for CIEMers running for ESC/USC. All our efforts were rewarded when all CIEMers won and Revee was actually the top1 USC councilor and Air the top1 IE Representative. Hell yeah!
- Kuya Mon treated me to The Greatest Hits concert of A1, Blue and 98 degrees as a graduation gift. The crowd was awesome, the performance were really great! Hearing the songs I’ve grown up with performed live is really unforgettable.
- DreamDate was fun but I had to leave early to meet with my Clingy friends because ate Tons was in Manila. I did make habol sa inuman after.
- UP Fair with the Clingies. Fun and putik filled night.

Keep the plans you make with your friends, even if it means going out of your way. Understand that a time when most of you are unmarried, independent, child-free, and within drivable distance of one another is something which will not come again in life. :))
