Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

TYPEWRITER
In my personal opinion, there are three types of writer:
1st type) Someone who writes to make a living. This is by force. A writer like this could be an avid reader, that's why she knows how to do the art.
2nd type) Someone who writes as hobby. This depends on the mood of the writer. It's a very risky for an editor doesn't care if their writers are in the mood or what. They just need that goddamn copy now. When they say now, it's NOW (whatever you have there).
And the 3rd type) Someone who writes because this person is capable of making a living out of it and can enjoy every part of it. It's a talent, skill, creativity, and err.. passion.
I envy the last type of writer. :(
There are times you'll just suddenly decide to write something. You're in the mood. You'll press the power of your computer, connect to the internet, log in to your blog, lay your fingers on the keyboard, stare at the monitor ..and stare ..and stare ..and stare then, look away. The momentum, GONE. The fingers on the keyboard will soon be on your head, scratching it. Ouch! That moment you'll ask yourself.. what am I suppose to write now?
What's your style? What TYPEWRITER are you?

- My instructor back in college shares, she'll do her laundry first before writing down an assigned article or essay.
- A friend from college says, he usually get great ideas to be blogged about while pooping.
- Me? I'm not sure. Ideas will just hit you anytime, anywhere. While on a trip, looking outside the window of your moving bus. Sometimes, in the middle of the night. You'll just never know, really. So, I always keep a journal and a pen with me anywhere I go. If I happen not to have these essentials, I make sure I typed it on my cellphone and save it on drafts. But still, there are times I get lazy and forget what would have been great write-up.
What's your style? What TYPEWRITER are you?

"She's a girl. You're a woman." -Larry (Closer)
Vogue's Editor-in-Chief
"You work for her as her assistant and you'll get a job at any magazine," according to The Devil Wears Prada. Yes, it is true. Fashion photographers always wants to get her picture during shows rather than models. Designers pleases and worships her. The whole fashion industry revolves around Anna's hands.
Angela Merkel
Chancellor of Germany
Knowing that civilians in this country acknowledge their land as "fatherland." For such a strong country, it is today lead by a woman. No nation will ever mess up with Germany. In short, don't even try messing up with Angela either.
Christiane Amanpour
CNN's Chief International Correspondent.
It's obvious, media is such an influence to the world. This woman covered wars, natural disasters, and interviewed international leaders. She that brave to ASK them questions that are too dangerous. One time, I particularly followed a three-part series of her documentary entitled God's Warriors. It's about the leaders and the followers of the worlds major religions, such as: Judaism, Christianity and Muslim. Very controversial, indeed.

Mutant Ninja Rats and Roaches
I promise that this blog entry will be a short one. 'Cos we all know, rats and roaches are just - gross.
I decided not to post any photos of these icky creatures UNLESS I find cute pictures of them.
Oh! That's cute. :)
Aww! Look at those teary eyes, it's the cuteeeest!
Okay, enough! Let's not be fooled by these innocent looking photos. Do you know how gross it was when I trying to look for the two cute photos above when google shows lots of roaches and rats yucky photos? I nearly puked just by looking at Google's stored rats and roaches images.
All I want to say is.. in Metro Manila, roaches are harder to kill and rats are far way more intelligent, than those of in my hometown. (This, of course, is according to my own reliable observation.) What a non-sense post, I didn't justify why. Thank you for reading!

Kumanta ka na lang, 'wag ka nang magsalita! (>.<)
Hindi laging ako lang ang nakaka-isip na kung ano ang iba-blog ko dito. Hindi araw-araw nag-iisip ako at kapag maka-isip ay sisigaw ng "I'm blogging this!" Nitong huli, kapatid ko ang nagsilbing contributor ng idea kung ano ang mai-blog.
Oo, nga naman. At saka bago pa man namin 'to mapag-usapan e, asar na din ako sa mga kantang may biglaan na lang nagse-segway ng speech sa kanta.
Dreaming of You -Selena
Corazon (I can't stop dreaming of you)
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti (I can't stop dreaming)
Como te necesito (I can't stop dreaming of you)
Mi amor, como te extra 'o..
Simula nung sinabihan ako ng kapatid ko na, nakakapanglaw daw pakinggan si Selena habang nagsasalita kasi matagal na nga namang patay yung tao, e baka bigla magpakita! At saka, hellow, Spanish pa ba yung iniimik ni Selena mas parang tanga.
Hinahanap-hanap Kita - Rivermaya
Pilit ko mang ikay limutin
Lagi kong natatagpuan
Ang iyong tinig at awitin
T'wing sasapit ang ulan
Mga linggo pang pinagsamahan
Para bang nalimot na
It's a lie a fantasy we created about people and places
As we like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you are gonna make love to tonight
That's truth
Lagi kong natatagpuan
Ang iyong tinig at awitin
T'wing sasapit ang ulan
Mga linggo pang pinagsamahan
Para bang nalimot na
Ng 'yong pusong biglang lumisan
May kapiling ng iba
May kapiling ng iba
Si kuya lang nagpaalala sa 'kin na nagsasalita nga din Rivermaya pala sa kanta. Ka-badtrip kapag nagsalita na yung Rivermaya, si Rico man 'yun o si Bamboo, sa Hinahanap-hanap Kita. Nililipat ko na kaagad bago pa sila makapagsalita.
Never Been To Me - Charlene
Hey, you know what paradise is?It's a lie a fantasy we created about people and places
As we like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding
And it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you are gonna make love to tonight
That's truth
That's love
Kadiri naman yung boses ni Charlene sa Never Been To Me kapag nagsasalita na. Eww. Basta!
PERO iba naman kung kumakanta ka sa karaoke at magsasalita ka ng, "Are you having fun?" :D

Why Whisper?
Are we ants? Why are we whispering?
Do you have your period? Why are we whispering?
I may be suffering from telephobia; my hand shakes , my heart beats faster, my tongue mumble and my brain goes blank most of the time when I talk to a person over the telephone. But I never recall whispering when talking to a person on the other line. Well, it’s a different story when I talk to my friends or family members, I really should sometimes whisper to them when necessary. But when we talk business.. Let’s not whisper!
Is it about the personal life of the boss? If it’s personal. We should not talk about it and not whisper.
Is it about the latest local or Hollywood showbiz news? If it’s just a gossip then let’s not talk about it and not whisper.
Are you just whining about your work? If you’re just whining, then quit and not whisper.
I don’t know what is the whole point of whispering. We are not in elementary school anymore, where teachers throw the board eraser straight to your face. We are not taking midterm exams here. We're not in a goddamn library. And we will never be listed by the secretary as ‘Noisy’.

Why whisper?
I came up with several reasons why people whisper:
When explaining, be heard.
When informing, be heard.
When giving an advice, be heard.
When setting direction or instruction, be heard.
When you want to be heard, speak louder!
I came up with several reasons why people whisper:
- They are afraid to be corrected by people around them
- They are not confident about what they are going to say
- They have very low self-esteem
- Their ears have defects, they think their voice is loud enough
- They didn’t brush their teeth this morning
- Or maybe I didn’t use Q-tips this morning
