Truth

Truth is a complicated matter.  The more you search for it, the more information you get.  The more information you get, the more confused you become.  It muddles your quest and disheartens the seeker.  This is one truth I know: that Christ died for all our sins that we may gain eternal life through him.  It is all that I’ll ever need.

Puzzling puzzle

I was so sleepy in front of my computer one day that I just had to get up from my chair to stop myself from hitting my sleepy head on my keyboard. I walked over to my office mate’s cube to bother her. She gave me a piercing look and handed over the puzzle pictured above. I shrugged, took the puzzle from her hands and returned to my cube.

It’s a puzzle called or made by Lonpos. You have these various shapes that you have to fit into a rectangle. It’s almost like tetris only that it has more complicated shapes and the lines don’t collapse when formed.

Being the nerd that I was, I thought I would be able to finish this puzzle in just a few minutes.  Well, it’s been four days and I still haven’t been able to fit the pieces in the rectangle. I was told that there were about 200+ combinations and I still haven’t been able to get one! What is wrong with me???

Well, it definitely woke me up… with frustration. I just hope I’ll be able to get at least one combination before I return this. My office mate’s been bugging me to give it back…

Amnesia Monday

This is what I get for waking up late. In my rush to get to the office in time, I managed to forget four essential things for the day:

1) I never leave home without my bible. It has been my habit since last year and I feel at a loss when I don’t have it with me.
2) Putting on my wrist watch is always the first thing I do when I dress up. I must have been a zombie this morning to forget this.
3) This is very important. My girlfriend cooked and packed this for me yesterday so that I could eat it later at lunch. I made a mental note to take it out of the ref before leaving but my mind was just not awake.
4) I realized that I needed to charge and transfer some data to and from my phone when I got to the office. Aaaarg…

So the plan is, I’ll go back to the house before lunch to get all these and make it back to the office before my boss calls for a meeting. I just hope I could get a taxi right away to make it on time. Well, wish me luck!

I’m on fire!

It’s a new year (happy new year everybody!) and a new chapter in my blog. I got my WordPress report yesterday and was very surprised about my progress (or lack of it) for the year. I managed to churn out four entries… FOUR ENTRIES for the entire year!!! Wow was I busy…

Hopefully that will change this year. I’ve got a brand new “baby” to help me produce at the very least more than four entries for 2011. Meet my new HTC Wildfire!

With this in tow, I have no excuse to not post anything on my blog! I bought this for myself as a Christmas gift for being such a good boy all year… ok, you can opt not to believe that… but hey, it’s with me already so there’s nothing else we could do about it. :p

Hopefully everyone had a blast last year and is looking forward to this new year. I know I am because I’m on “fire”!

Just the right size

I took this photo during our trip to the island of Camiguin in the Philippines (for the benefit of my foreign visitors, Camiguin is near Cagayan De Oro which is located in the big island of Mindanao in the Philippines).  I thought it appropriate since I just came from another trip this afternoon.

We just had our annual office outing this weekend at Montemar Beach Resort in Bataan.  I’m still tired from the travel but I’ll see if I could post some pictures from the place soon.  I actually have a lot of backlog in my blog.  I haven’t been able to post anything about our trips to Hundred Islands in Pangasinan, Casa San Pablo in Laguna, and Camiguin Island in Mindanao.  I’m thinking of just posting my favorite photos from those places for now.  I’ll try posting full itineraries and more details when I find the time (which I hope I find soon).  For now, just relax with me and marvel at the small yet mighty vehicle that is the “habal-habal”.
