Ain't a Life if it's Not a Goddamn-Arms Race
I have the propensity in loving reading. Not just casual reading but really READ those hard-bound or soft-bound books and warp me to a place between reality and fantasy. Though I'm a late boomer when it comes to reading, it is much welcome to my interests. It broadens my knowledge and wisdom. It gets me to reflect by the history I get from it. It gets me to think on how tomorrow may happen, but I still love the randomness of things. Lately, my pace has slowed down with the increase demand of time in academics, organizations / affliations and relationship with my girlfriend. But such a good read will always absorb me with its desire and wonder - and to really finish it. Fiction and politics drive my imaginations as of the moment - to control power and maintain it.

”Rizal published the Noli Me Tangere at 26, Juan Luna painted the Spolarium at 27, and Bonifacio began the Revolution at 30. What do Filipinos in their late 20s do today? They work at a call center, go to Starbucks, have a take out, complete their stickers for a planner, be happy, and maybe go to Facebook and post things online. So if you think about it our heroes are young and so are most of you, so don’t waste your youth.

”Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

The Meralco tranvia became part of the Manila scene. It reached out to areas which were only promises of development. It stirred the city to new activity by providing cheap and rapid transportation for all classes of people. The system was described as state-of-the-art and second to none in East Asia.

The Oblation, one of the most famous artworks in UP, was made by Guillermo Tolentino. Contrary to popular belief, FPJ’s father was not the model for the statue. Anastacio Caedo was the model for its muscular physique, while Caedo’s brother-in-law, Virgilio Raymundo, was the model for its height and proportion.
