-It's just that good-

Is life really just that good? No... It's God who's great :) The first day of exams were quite scary, but I did my best and I'm hoping for the best. Earth hour was amazing here at home; grabbed the guitar and we all just sang outside on the balcony even the neighbours sang along, it was such a bonding moment. Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Jojo were here in Mall of Asia yesterday, but I think they all left this morning. I was supposed to watch it with Ka Siti but along with exams I guess I just really wanted to be with the family during an hour which we gave to the planet. The class is going to be celebrating sometime nextweek like with a movie I think, I ain't quite sure since I'm usually the guy who they just invite I don't normally plan anything. My cousin's graduating tommorow and so I'm cooking for her after I get home from school tommorow, have to get ingredients later after studying. Dad's going to be here in a week to visit me yeay!!!! Hahah~ Jeremiah offered me a job at a call centre although he said the commute is hard but the money is good, so I'll see. I was thinking we could all just wor at the Cultural Centre of the Philippines.Although it doesn't pay alot, thing is you get to watch plays for free and at the same time just hangout i guess... I'm heading back to Brunei very soon... I'm excited but a part of me seems to want to stay... weird, I have to go back early though cause I still have to enroll for the next year of school and JOHN MAYER'S COMING!!!! Margaret said she'll try to go but her mummy might not allow, nevertheless, I'll just go on my own, maybe meet fellow Mayer fans there, never tried meeting people at a concert. I'm gonna be waiting at the exit so I can get a photo with John hopefully hahaha~~ For my Bruneian friends, you guys should tag along with me when I get back here cause I'll still have a month long holiday and I can show you guys around. I'd appreciate it more than you guys will... cause it's more than just showing you malls and awesomeness here, I'm showing you a part of me:) please do consider it, even just five or even three days... I do hope you guys will consider... Well, take care readers... Godbless you all... Keep yourselves happy... in the right ways of course:) Bye~

-Once was lost...but now am found-

Dear readers, I'd like to apologize in advance for being gone n the next few days since exams are around the corner. Although I only have 2 days for school, saturday and Monday. It's going to be quite difficult since both days have 3 subjects each. Worried~ but I'm going to be working hard. Right after exams, I'll be getting my license,work for a while and hopefully maybe even go to Boracay; the beach of white sand and clear blue beautiful waters. Well, I wish you all well people... Take care keep smiling, enjoying life and praying for our great God above. :) Au revoir..

-New York-

Guess what guys; I was given a chance to work at New York City. The U.S Government kindly offered me a chance to work as a student ambassador with an actual American ambassador as a mentor. The headquarters is currenly based in New York; that means clubbing and Gossip Girls haha~ Here are a few pics I took on my first day near my condo which I reside in.


Hahaha and that's what I would be saying if it were true. These are actually pictures we took at Eastwood in Quezon City. Looks alot like New York so I decided to take photos. After this we ate at a 70's theme diner it was really really cool. The shake and food were all really really good so I didn't really complain about how pricey it was. I'm hoping after exams, I'll start to get my license so that it'll be much easier to travel when I get back to Brunei; and if ever God willing; I'd also like to own a car here. Heh~ Take care people...God bless...

-A mind, a thought, a cup of coffee and the stars-

It's been such a weekend since the passing of all the assignments, quizs and reports. I've really needed it just to get things together, because apparently when you're so busy in life, you tend to forget the things you love as well as the people you love. I can't wait for the exams to be done and over with. Wow... amazingly, I'm proud to say that, ladies and gentleman, I am about to finish my first year in University. It's been tough... a long bumpy road and the car I'm riding has lights that aren't that bright, but I'm managing. Last night, Ka Siti and I went to Eastwood and ate at a 70's themed diner. After we got home, I left again to grab a cup of coffee at SBC(Seattles Best Coffee) and then walked around the city and sat at this bench at Greenbelt 3; drinking and trying to write my thoughts by connecting the stars. Alright alright time to get artsy~
I can hear my thoughts loudly
louder than any horn or conversation around
they want to say something
something heavy yet will make me feel light
Papers and ink, cut and stain my hands
i breathe and breathe
still i gasp for the air I need
Why?
The bench is empty
but I know God's still beside me
He tells me to continue life
to love what's happening; good or bad
"When I'm weak, I am Strong"
People pass by me all the time
They seem happy; laughing smiling... living
I didn't HAVE that... I still have that
I need to just open my eyes
not at the world, but at myself
my reflection isn't missing its other half
I've just been standing too much to the side

Hahaha Funny ain't it? It's a realisation moment for me. Expression. And one more thing, I really miss my family. Luckily, I've learnt to cook alot of dishes, so I can't wait to spoil them. To all my friends, both here and abroad, thank you... for everything. I am really excited to get that tatoo that says "I'm a product of the people I love". To the one I love... Thank you. I trust you... Just be happy with all the decisions you make, I'll support you endlessly... no doubt. I love you. To the greates one of all; God. I'm but a vessel of your bidding. A branch, an extension of your love and teachings. You have taught us rightness, and by rightness I shall live and continue my service to You till my time comes. I love You, God... Thank you readers... Remember, life is not about where you are, it's about what you did to get there... :)Godbless...

-The 70th-

Change is really something inevitable ain't it?? It's God's will. It's His will if our dreams change, it's His will if ur hearts tend to fall and break and most of all it's His will on what steps you take. When you get to that phase in your life where there are tons of decisions hanging in front of you; don't pick. Let God do that for you, He'll know what's the best one for you. Honestly, all I need is just time with my thoughts to get my stuff together and make an informed decision. I'm really tired of just being all depressed and sad, so I might as well spend the time being sad on being closer to Him. You gotta keep the fight alive in, "I can feel the pressure" but I can't give up. Ladies and gentlemen, life isn't all fun and games, I'm sure you all know that, but honestly when it's literally only you alone, it gets much much harder than one thinks. Here's a tip for all of you... Pray... you're not alone, you have Him... I'm just hear to face the music... and listen and maybe even play some... Goodbye people... Godbless you all... Bye

-Welcome to the real world is what he's gonna say-

WOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!JOHN MAYER IS GOING TO MANILA ON MAY 16TH!!!!!!!!AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! Fan girl much!!! DAMN!!! I've been waiting for so long!!! After watching PARAMORE, who by the way was amazing, Hayley is so cute when she's "rocking" her head out haha~ Especially the fact that we all just screamed along to their songs. There were like 3 songs i wan't familiar with but were all quite good. They only performed for an hour but greatness greatness~~ Back to the big issue of John being here is such a mind blowing thought!! I plan to cut down on expenditures and food since i will definetely have to watch in the front row a GOLD ticket. Hahaha~~ The Philippines is going to be his last venue before going back to the U.S. Thank you thank you John!! Please do rock our socks off WOOOOHHHHHOOOOO!!!! I'm not really sure who I'm bringing to this next concert, but hopefully someone who can appreciate one of the people that God gave amazing guitar skills and showmanship to. Being a fan of John also helped me love God more in a sense. How you ask? Simple... He made us, therefore loving the creation is loving the Creator. Not only John Mayer but even Hendrix, Clapton, Paramore and even other people involved in arts or anything else that would please Him, they are the few that have been very well blessed. Thank You God... Once again, we fall at Your greatness... Your the greatest artist ever... No doubt... And to all "I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just a lie you've got to rise above" :) rock on people...

-That's what you get-

Dear beloved readers, sorry for the long LONG absence. Exams coming up, assignments, projects, term papers, reports and never ending deadlines are just some of the things I face on the battlefield, but I still have some ammunition left. Whats new?? Well, last two weeks, we were at Dolores, Quezon. (Hmmm...have to get pictures soon to post) Anyway, it was a super amazing place, we literally climbed mountains and went into super duper tight caves with water inside... deep waters... hahaha amazingly, I wasn't too big and I got out alive phew~~ After that we went to a huge waterfall which amazing complete with rainbow :) Heh~ I also had a chance to join "Lyceum's got talent" but lost. My friends and I did a medley of songs, but unfortunately, energy wasn't there and that was our downfall. We lost the competition but won new friends. The winner was Kuya JB, the beat boxer. Hahaha he also plays the drums, so a definite jamming session was coming soon. Tonight is going to be a good night, aside from the fact that I have 2 days holidays, PARAMORE is in the PHILIPPINES!!!!WOOOOHHOOOOO!!!! My cousin who's a huge fan got a huge surprise from me when i bought two tickets for us!!! Finally, something to get the stress out... I guess that's what you get after a long tiring and busy week from school... just gonna scream my lungs out tonight!!!! :) Rock on people...Keep smiling... Godbless and Au revoir..
