After two visas, getting the third one is the most difficult (wishing that someday, Filipinos no longer need visas to enter the first world countries). Here’s are my step-by-step experiences in applying for a Schengen Visa.

Birthday Wishes (Fulfillment)

I want to be with my boyfriend. Sadly, he is not able to come. He came and spent time together until yesterday. He can’t stay longer because of his pigery. But I was just glad to have him and celebrate our birthdays together. His birthday is on Sunday.
I wish my mom will cook a puto [...]

Birthday Wishes

Minutes from now is already my 13th birthday. I finally let go of being 12 after so many years. I always tell people that I already stopped counting my age. But this time, I just feel that I want to grow up a little.
I don’t know when was the last time I made a wish [...]

I am disturbed

Long time ago, I discovered something about a person close to me. Now, I rediscovered the matter again and it’s even worse.
I don’t know what to do. I already cried a lot but the images keep flashing in my mind and I can’t stop myself in imaging actions that I could do.
It struck me deep [...]

The Book of Discipline

Finally, I got my own copy of the United Methodist Church Book of Discipline. This doesn’t mean that I need this book to have some discipline in life but I just need it as a resource book. Some may see it as the second Bible of the UMC. As Cokesbury describes it:

Is global warming making the Philippines colder?

Going home from the office last Monday, we felt a sudden drop in temperature. I was wearing long-sleeved-turtle-necked top that time but I still felt the cold. (I was immediately reminded of my temperature adjustment while in Joburg last December.)
I was taught that February is the coldest month in the Philippines. Tomorrow is already February [...]

My officemate told me that he just feel speaking English for the past two days. He sent me messages all in English. Whatever these sentences means… well, just check them out.

Hey, it seems like that Elmo thingy is making this whole idiosyncracy of the mediocre society of yours into something that makes work a bit [...]
