Weekend Before Valentines Day

Posted by admin in Personal

What do we expect on the weekend before the heart’s day?

Lots of gifts and keepsakes from loved ones, love love love and a lot of cheesy and positive feelings in the air. Speaking of which, we will go out later with my wife and family for a pre-Valentine buffet dinner.

How about you?

Short List of My Writing Posts

Posted by admin in Personal

Well, not posts from this blog, but from my other blog. For the past couple of years I have written some posts which I think deserve mentioning from here. It is all about writing: tips on writing, citing bad practices, but mostly just my thoughts about the art of writing.

These posts are just short posts. I don’t believe in writing more than 300 words in a blog post, especially since I treat my blog as just a repository of my quick thoughts for that moment that I was in the mood to write. Which is seldom nowadays mainly because of my very busy work schedule.

Body’s Aching from Massage

Posted by admin in Personal

I had a massage yesterday and the massage therapist really gave me a very hard massage. As a testament to that, my body’s aching up to now. But at least it lessened the back pain that I was feeling the past few days.

They say it’s not right when you’re starting to feel pain during the massage but I guess that’s just how it is when you requested for a hard massage. And I certainly got what I asked. It was effective because immediately after the session, my back pain’s gone and I was feeling better all over my body. It was truly relaxing. Although it was after a day when I finally felt the effects of having a hard massage.

I am tempted to take a pain killer but my mom warned me from using them as it can damage the kidney. If ever that’s true, I guess it’s only when you are taking those painkillers in a regular basis, which I don’t. Anyway, just to follow my mom’s advice, I opted not to take any and just try to get through the pain.

Driving Without Any Sounds

Posted by admin in Personal

I drove from Makati to Libis today and just out of a whim, I turned off my car’s radio. I haven’t done that for a very long time now and I just realized what a relaxing thing it was to do.

Why? Let me count the ways…

1. I no longer hear about stuff related to Manny Pacquiao. Don’t get me wrong. I admire the Pacman, but to hear him on the radio, see him on TV and billboards almost 24/7 is just too much. I got so fed up with his exposure that I even stopped buying Head and Shoulders shampoo.

2. I was not able to hear a Tagalized American song.

3. No more DJ banters. I hate DJs who talk more often when they shold be playing music.

Those are just a few of the things that I was able to save myself from. I’m planning not to turn on the radio from now on, for as long as I can. Of course that’s a different story when my girlfriend’s with me. She can’t stand a trip without any sounds.
