Kimmy Dora Derivative
Greetings!
I am a concerned citizen of the Philippines. This matter that I am going to tell you through this blog, which I hope reaches your attention, is a matter of national welfare. This is regarding the release of your latest craft Kimmy-Dora.
Through this letter, I would like to convey to you my utmost appreciation of your art. It is the best dramatic comedy i have ever watched so far. I never stopped lauging from the trailers to the last credits... in fact, until now, people in the office keep cracking taglines/quotable quotes/the whole script of the movie and others laugh. this is the reason that i am writing this letter to you. you see, it is creating a division in the office. a division between those who have watched the movie, and those who have not. those who have not are a bit discriminated and they feel so envious, franctic and so angry of themselves for not having watched the movie yet. all frustrations end up in promises to watch the movie the next time they get a chance to.
well anyway, i think this should be your concern. to solve this problem, i think it is wise that you indefinitely extend the showing of your movie to accomodate those who have not yet watched your movie, as well as those who want to watch it again!
To this end, thank you for coming up with such a very good comedy doing away with the obscenity of the newly emrging kind of comedy. thank you that your movie presages clearly a familial value as well as the importance of Love and respect for other people and other animals!
My prayer is that people will not just laugh at your punchlines, but will really crack the values out of them. may people imvibe the positive aura of the movie more than just the lughs it brings. may you continue to have more success and may you inspire more people!
a concerned citizen;

P.S.
i am really called Barri by my officemates. when we heard that zanjoe marudo was named barry all of us who knows me and who watched the movie together reacted and literraly SHOUTED "BARRI!!!" while looking at me (of course i couldn't look at myself so i did a gesture of pointing to myself)... you made us knock the whole theater down... and we inspired others to laugh out loud tohgether with us... hehehe...

unbleaking
staying apparently undaunted, i am pursuing this game of trying again, harder each time i bump into something not for me.
not just once that i pursued something i assumed was mine, and more often than not, i end up frustrated-but never disheartened to continue pursuing for better options.
my former dean at the University said during his farewell speech-to us who were leaving the university- "ben and lemuel(my coteacher) have contrasting personalities, lemuel is UNASSUMING..."
once i heard it, as if a high jolt of lightning forced me to blurt out, "so assuming ako?"(so i am assuming?). there was a loud laugh from the other people in the crowd after my comment. i myself laughed out loud... even the dean himself laughed after realizing the other possible meaning of what he just said...
although it was funny, it became a sort of reminder to me that i do assume a lot. i knew the dean meant the good side of being assuming more than the bad, but still the possibility of using the word assuming may presage that i am indeed assuming - the plain state of being assuming! hahaha...
this, i will have to admit is one of the greatest struggles i have in the history of my life... if some biographer chooses to write my life and some historian tries to critic it, i think what's going to be the most apparent pattern is that i assume a lot... well, most of the assumptions i do proves to be correct, but then still a lot don't. the latter becomes the failures i sometimes regret doing.
however, in so far as my experiences and others' wisdom have taught me, it's not at all immoral nor condemning to commit mistakes - including wrong assumptions. in having done so, one learns not to walk the same way again-that is to never to commit the same mistake more than once.
but then again, being a weak-willed person that i am, i always do a lot of assummptions. my rain works logically but is overruled by my heart's desires. even if i think an action leads me nearer to estruction - my destruction-, but since my heart agitates to be fulfilled, i tend to concede to it. here were times i really felt abashed by my actions but i always drew-out-of-nowhere the guts to stand high and proud as if nothing happened.
why am i writing this?
i am asking the same question and the most logical reason i have now for writing this is so that i can have a sort of encouragement for myself. a cheer to my heart to stay strong despite anything i have gone, going and will go through. a laud for its strength and a continuing encouragement for its keeping strong for tomorrow. sometimes, we need this. we need to remind our heart and mind that they are being supported, that they are being though of. so that they'll continue to be undaunted keeping you secured despite the odds the world has to offer.

Exhausting Caliraya
Sorry that my blog has apparently become a sort of photo album... i just want to share these pictures that were taken from our team building in caliraya. by "our", I mean ITSS-my new work division. ITSS stands for Information Technology Sub-Sector. it is an IT support division of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. so all the people you'll be seeing in these pictures are my new officemates (more like i'm their new officemates but since i am the one posting let it be said in my point of view).
we have had a lot of fun... really... i am not saying this to promote Caliraya but it was really a busy place... you can do alot of things ending the day whining that the day isn't enough for you to experience everything...
although they're a little jumbled, i hope you enjoy the pictures...
