Writing may be my professional career, and sometimes I wonder if this is really my passion. Indeed, it is in a portion of my heart and mind that writing is the profession I want to pursue up to date although I know I am not really good at it, considering that my English is not that perfect. (Anyway, education is a continuous process, so I better keep on learning the language.) This profession also leads me to thinking about my skills apart from the letters that I have to write on paper and word processor.

I once again get hooked in singing. It was one of my hobbies I had quite neglected in the past 5 years, but here I am again although my so-called golden voice has already faded away. I can still sing, but not as good as when I was still studying.

I can say my day won’t be complete without playing my playlist with songs of Avril Lavigne, Jason Mraz, Paramore, and Maroon 5. It’s a morning routine while preparing for work, and let’s save the singing part in the latter part of this post, hehe!

The joy that my current job brings is learning and discovering my interest. But don’t get me wrong, of course I have also learned a lot from my previous jobs particularly with the one before this. It is just that I come to know which hobbies I would really want to pursue in the long run. You may say that I am just attached with the articles I’m writing, but I don’t think so, not really. They just awake the inner child or power or self in me. Does it make sense? :P

My concept for my birthday celebration is not actually new for some. I’ve read some blogs about birthdays that celebrated through acts of kindness. Instead of asking gift for themselves or throwing parties for just family and friends, they share their special day with other people they hardly know.

I don’t know much about restaurants, and I'm not a gourmet, so I always let the decision on where to eat to my friends, family, or colleagues when we have to dine in. Today, I discover (yes, discover fits the description) an eat-all-you can restaurant Sambo Kojin. As always when there’s sushi in the buffet, my stomach has to be filled with at least 10 sushi of different kinds.

Last May 14, Jason Mraz took the stage for his fans in the Philippines to serenade their hearts at SMART Araneta Coliseum. He was way ready to once again let his fans sing with him at 9 p.m. Even before he sang the first song on his Manila concert tour, his fans already showed their love and excitement to hear him sing his songs and his simple and yet graceful moves.

This coming May 15, Husky is turning 1 year old. Time really flies. I barely notice that it’s been a year since I adopted him and started training him. I remember last year, I was quite hesitant to welcome him in our home because it was just weeks since days-old then Tim, Tom, and Tam died. Husky cried softly in front of our house as if hoping for someone to take care of him, and so I did.

My mother has one condition for once again adopting a kitten: eliminate the bad odor of his/her poops and pee. I had to train Husky to use the comfort room for this kind of activities or at least do it on the tray I prepared for him. However, yes, it wouldn’t eliminate the odor. Luckily, today, I can afford to buy litter. I tried clumping litter of another brand, before I settle with Tidy Cats by Purina.

We know that Albert Einstein is one of the well-known and respected scientists of all time. He is also known for the popular equation E = mc², energy-mass equivalence. We are aware that he is a German born on March 14, 1879 who developed the theory of relativity. Yes, definitely he has great contribution to the world of science.

I don’t know when was the time I watched basketball games particularly NBA and PBA (Philippine Basketball Association); I bet it’s been more than 2 years. But just last week, I find myself liking and reading news about the two popular basketball leagues, and last night, I remembered to switch the TV channel to PBA.

Last Tuesday, April 30, I watched Iron Man 3 with my nephew. He was really excited to see the film. I was also really excited; I was waiting for it since the 3^rd installment was announced. I like the film, really I do. I, however, just got stressed with the first few scene of the movie – the time setting is New Year’s Day and Christmas Day. It is really ironic! Hahaha! There could be any other time for the setting, but why it should be New Year and Christmas? I still can’t stand seeing in the much-awaited film with time setting in Christmas day especially New Year. Okay, so I checked Iron Man 3 in my movies to watch this year and next in my list are the Evil Dead and the Man of Steel. No more New Year’s day, please.

After watching the season finale episode of TV series The Walking Dead, I am still thinking whether Andrea (Lauren Holden) is really dead. Prior to the Season 3 of the series, a question popped up into my head: Is there any character who has been bitten by walkers turned into a walker as well even though s/he isn’t dead yet? I just wonder why some characters bitten by walkers have to be killed. Maybe, just maybe, the wounds couldn’t be cured. So, Herschel is lucky then to have his limb cut so he wouldn’t turn into a walker. But everybody’s already infected with this virus. Hmm …

Since last February, I once again start reading books and I love it. Although I haven’t finished reading Da Vinci Code yet (may be because I am more into love stories considering my current state of emotion), I still want new addition to my so-called book collection. I love seeing books piling beside me when I’m going to sleep. Yes, my books are not in the shelf, they are on my bed. Well, I just have a few lying at the side of my bed, so I still have enough room to move myself from time to time while sleeping.
