The question is, "How aware are you?"

Reposting from Chico's blog, 'Strange Fruit,' these interesting videos display how it's so easy to miss something you're not looking for. The moral of the story: Awaken your senses, heighten your awareness... You never know what you're missing. ENJOY! Ü

First post 2010

I am probably the worst blogger ever.

You see, I've had this blog since June 3rd, 2004 yet I've only had a total of 310 posts. 311, including this one. Over five years of blogging and my numbers don't even represent a single post per day for an entire year. Is this an admittance of how my life is boring and irrelevant? With the popularity of new technologies like Facebook and Twitter, all the more has my blog taken a back seat. I don't seem to have thoughts longer than 140 characters anymore. My emotions can now be summarized in several words and if I'm lucky, a couple of punctuations.

When people stumble on my blog, I always seem to get a varied mix of reactions. Some find it interesting and amusing, some find that I'm too angry at the world, while others say I talk too much, like I never run out of things to say. At the end of the day, I figure, I blog for myself. Since I have to quit writing alltogether, this is the only place I have left to write. As such, I'm not writing for anyone. Since it's a personal blog (i.e. one that doesn't aim to rake in cash), I'm not here to sell anyone any story. If I'm having a rough day, then I'd prolly throw in a cuss word or two. If I'm stoked, then I'll talk about whatever it is that's getting me excited and I don't care if it gets too long for anyone to read. This is my humble cyberabode.

My 2009 was not easy. It might have been the worst year of my adult life, if I may say so myself. I don't have any resolutions for 2010, I'm just hoping to survive another year. Hopefully, I'm able to document whatever brain fart or word vomit I'll have as I survive every adventure -- in 140 characters more or less... Ü

Baby Boy getting special treatment from our Mommy Baby Girl. I love taking photos of these two... but it's very hard to do because they love playing with me! Ü

There's not so much to see in our 'garden,' but a few 'it's-amazing-they're-still-alive' plants including this one. I was honestly surprised to see this green leaf growing from this stem of thorns. It's a sign of life! Ü

So. Hard. To. Stop. If we can have things our way, we could probably eat the whole thing in one seating! Ü

Bought this as a toy for my feline siblings, but they keep on ignoring it. Anyhoo, we just keep it hanging by the stairs... just in case anyone wants to play... Ü

One fine Saturday afternoon, my Papu and I stroll around Eastwood Mall. I've been there so many times, but that was the first time I actually took notice of the 'high-rise' atop the actual mall. It was actually nice! Ü

My Baby P and one of our other baby boys kissed as soon as the door opened and they saw each other -- as if they've missed each other so much! So cute! Ü
