The Bourne Identity is in. The Blogger is Out.

Wow... the first week of the New Year 2012 is over!  Why everything seems to be going past forward?

I am counting the passing of the month by marking what was my activity during the weekends so as far as I can remember I was watching the Azkals Sendong Charity Game Dili Kamo Nag-iisa during the first Saturday of January, and I am sure that it was just few days after the holiday specifically considering how the Azkals team (Azkals Alyansa) played against CF Internacional de Madrid.  They seem to haven't shaken off their holiday blues.  After the game, I was confuse on whose team has celebrity players?  Aside from the obvious fact that CF Madrid’s team are excellent football players, they won the hearts of the football fans with their charm.  They patiently rounded the whole stadium waving, talking and communicating with the fans with their sincere smiles plastered on their oh soo good looking faces :)

Anyways back to that Saturday, before I knew it I found myself caught up on a Monday traffic catching a flight for an out of schedule / out of town trip. While the procession of the Black Nazarene is not moving somewhere along it’s processional direction, I am trapped and not moving as well in the EDSA traffic on my way to the airport.  As the devotees pray for miracle from the Black Nazarene, I had my miracle freeing from that horrendous EDSA traffic and able to catch my flight.

The Black Nazarene procession I found out from the news later, took 22 hours to finish and it is said to be the longest procession ever in the history of this annual tradition.


So I’m outta town!
100_9232As I was enjoying my “buko halo halo” so far away from Manila, I learned from the news that the The Bourne Identity cast has started shooting in Manila! Oh no! A little birdie told me that shooting will start by mid-January not now!  I want to personally watch that movie shooting and blog about it. It’s on my list!

The cast who’s now in the Philippines are movie leads Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton.  There’s also a rumor that Rachel Weisz James Bond husband Daniel Craig will also be coming over to visit his wife.

David Archuleta is coming in also while the Scottish pop group Simple Minds is done with their concert.

Geez they’re flocking in while the blogger is out! Sad smile

Tomorrow Is Not Promised

I was going around my stuff that I packed two years ago, back in the time when I decided that I’m done with the corporate world.  I realized that I did not check back to this box-load of stuff since I packed it when I exited that world of mine. The sad thing is that, I’m digging this box because I’m looking for a document that will support a stupid system that halted something that I had worked so hard for a couple of weeks.  I was feeling upset and frustrated while doing the digging. I realized there are lots of things in this box that I really really love.  They are of no financial values.  Just the silly stuff that I can’t take away so I just keep them.  As I picked and tousled things, I came across some small notebooks where I used to write anything that I can think of  at the moment. One of the small notebooks is a favorite since college days.  It is covered with my stamp collections and in it are my favorite quotations, prose, phrases and some poems that I personally wrote.

Go Kart at SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex

I’m doing my usual morning run at the SM Mall of Asia bay side when I spotted this area.  It kind of caught me by surprise seeing this area as colorful and lively because I remember during my last run, this area is used to be surrounded with iron sheets coverings, the same thing when there’s something being constructed inside the coverings.  And then I remembered that I had a short break from my morning run.  It seems like this activity is launched while I was on short break from my morning run.   As usual, every time I see something new that looks exciting, I am excited to share the info to you all.  So for those who are into cars and driving, this one’s for you! “Go Kart” ! It is located along the breakwaters of Manila Bay at the SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex just right after the The Giant Ferris Wheel/The MOA Eye .  Locational Photo The fee and basic rules Fun and Safety Rules are properly posted in the area but to give you some advance info on what to wear

Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children

“this place will break your heart, will make you cry, will make you want to reach out, and will make you feel grateful & thankful, all at the same time…”   They are located at: 1030 Tayuman Street, Tondo, Manila. Their telephone number is (+632) 255-0832 and the contact person is Sister Anselm. I wrote that caption in this same season last year, my first time to visit a place called “Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children”.  I was with a  group of friends along with our respective families.  I could never be thankful enough to our friend Rupert and his family for leading us to this place.  It was not my first time to do a charity visit to an orphanage and I sort of wonder why we were “brief” that this is for special children.  I only realized what that briefing is about when I see for myself how “special” these children are.  I apologize if this may not sound good to some, but the sight of the sick children is heartbreaking.  I tried to look tough and not to
