Almost everyday I meet new people and find myself saying, "This person is amazing." But I don't understand why it always points back to one specific individual. I guess when we meet that one very special person. whom we deem as perfect as one can ever be, somehow they become our standard, a yardstick to compare as to what's ideal. No one can replicate another, but for now I say there's just one, only one, who has my heart.

Have Faith

         I once learned from one of my Philosophy classes that having faith entails anticipating, as well as believing, that there is still something good that is to happen - something worth of our toils and efforts and something very compelling that will anchor us to stay. Just when I thought I've exhausted every drop of good things that I can actually have, and readying myself to leave and venture into a new horizon, circumstances tell me that there is something more. My faith hasn't been restored, it has leveled up

       I believe one has the power to choose keeping faith over not keeping faith. One just need to look hard enough and be more receptive of the opportunities that lie ahead. Most importantly, one has to have and to acknowledge love. For faith and love coexist - one cannot survive without the other.

Tinikling (Description in Bikol-Naga)

Bamboo poles we used as props.

Champion pose! My team minutes before competition proper.

Kaidto daang panahon ning pananakop kang mga Kastila, nagkaigwa ning sistema na inaapod na encomienda kung saen pinagpatrarabaho ang satuyang ninunong Pilipino sa mga uma asin sa mga bukid. Mapang-abuso talaga daa ang mga Kastila. Pinapasakitan  daa sa paagi ning pagpalakpak ning duwang mga kawayan para ipiton ang  bitis ang mga mahiling nindang nagluluya-luya asin  maluway sa pagtrabaho. Syempre, iniialagan ninda ang mga kawayan para dae sinda malugadan.

Sabi pa daa, habang pinapasakitan ang mga Pilipino, garo daa sinda tikling hilingon habang nagrurulukso para mailagan ang mga kawayan.

Habang naghaloy, ang pag-ilag sa mga kawayan na may mga tunok pa asin balahibo, naging saro  nang pagsubok, sining, asin saro nang bayle. Inapod ninda ining Tinikling, huli ngani kayan ta pinapahiling kaini ang kaskas asin gaan kang mga Tikling.

Talagang maogmang tao ang mga Pilipino, maski na ngani pinaparasakitan na, nakakahanap man giraray rason para gibuhong magaan ang mga problema asin mag-bungakaras.

 This is actually the background as we do our entrance.  My team and I performed Tinikling as our piece during AdNU Intramurals '14: Bungkaras. We won first place.
