Thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. - G.K. Chesterton

(This has been over for a year, but I'll let it linger because it still does, at least for me.)

Voting just ended and the judges have already taken their picks.

I am still in shock, and will be for a very long time. For every vote, for every visit, for every click, I thank you in an absurd amount. I know I could never thank you guys enough but as long as nobody in this world has invented a more profound phrase for thank you, I'm sticking with that.

And the judges, of course! I am very much honored to have been a part of this with you, and so thank you thank you thank you, from the deepest wells of my gratitude-filled heart.

I owe this one to God, and this is for my family I love so much, especially the one with Him up there. You know this one's really for you.

The only way to be sure of catching a train is to miss the one before it. - G.K. Chesterton

This journal was once publicly viewable, but I felt unsafe so I locked it up. Opportunity arose and it told me to share my thoughts because it might lead to something good and it did, but I think I might have shared too much. This time, it's SEMI-LOCKED, but I'm willing to share it to anyone who cares enough. I doubt you belong in that category, but from time to time, people like proving other people wrong. You can do that, and perhaps, I'll be happy about it. Blog born circa 2005.

I want to go back to my old blogging self. Methinks a new layout will help.

My Where's Wally collection! on Twitpic

Random post.

I had a Where’s Wally phase (Where’s Waldo in the USA) where I went on a literal hunt for all 6 books because the books were scattered in different branches. It took me months to complete it and when I saw the Travel Collection, the book I never thought they’d sell here in the Philippines, I had to grab it and buy it immediately! Best part: it was on sale! :D

I just read this book entitled

Noisy Outlaws, Unfriendly Blobs, and Some Other Things That Aren’t as Scary, Maybe, Depending On How You Feel About Lost Lands, Stray Cellphones, Creatures from the Sky, Parents Who Disappear in Peru, a Man Named Lars Farf, and One Other Story We Couldn’t Quite Finish, So Maybe You Could Help Us Out.

Bought it because of the authors. It’s a compilation of short stories. Nick Hornby. Neil Gaiman. Lemony Snicket. Jonathan Safran Foer.

It’s a pretty book. One of a kind. And at first I couldn’t get into the stories because they’re pretty much nonsense, but sometimes, the nonsensical things turn out to be one of the more intelligent things. And when I got to the end, I felt that I just had to go online and type this down. So here I am.

After having the last enlistment of my college life, I realized that if you're...

* 1st batch, you pretty much get the teachers and timeslots you want, unless your internet connection fails you and slows down at turtle speed.
* 2nd batch, you get the teachers you want, but not the timeslots you want. I get that a lot. This time is not an exception. I have a 4.5 hour break and I will be in school from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm every Tuesday. I console myself with the thought that it's the best schedule for coding.
* 3rd batch, you chance upon some good teachers and try to balance your class schedule.
* 4th batch, for some reason, you get good schedules, and horrible teachers. Well, not horrible, but the ones who are bound to give you a hard time, but sometimes, the most enriching learning experience.

And everytime, it's the talk of the town.

Something I will miss.

If you were still here, I'd call you and tell you something nice. Miss you, pops.

When daughters talk of their fathers, how dad made their day, doing things together, and just talking, it makes me sad that all I can do is remember.

I'm lost. Will I ever find my way back?
