Fixing up dents

A new pair of shoes made in L.A. from People are People
Global Brand Ben Chan new shirt
Elegant Urban travel bag, black with white vertical stripes, loved by everyone.
All of Bob Ong weird books

So far, these were what I bought as gifts for myself during the past months of working and supporting my family back home. -haha-

Well just thought of posting it because of the happiness it brings and its weird self-boosting effects to work harder.

By the way, I hate seeing the gap since my last post. Who would love that gap? It’s a couple of months now. Have I been too busy? I don’t think so. I apologize for those who were deceived that I was like busy as a bee. The truth is, totoy juan have been too lazy, not with work, but with writing my thoughts.

This post is an indicator that I’m ‘trying’ to fix dents up and bring back the zest of writing and blogging that has taken its back seat. Thanks to Aethen of aethen.com. Bro, your sending of wise and ‘pasaway’ text messages constantly reminded and reminds me of revving up ‘again’ this substantial hobby of blogging.

Thanks achiever! I haven’t tried the UNYT of Globe yet but thanks for inviting.

The Great God has been so good in my life for the past months. My job here in Manila gave me precious learning experiences packed with a cool new environment and cool new people to work and enjoy days with.

My time spent with the Mangyans in Mindoro in the previous weeks was a life-changing indulgence. Witnessing their ways of life in person, learning a little bit of the Alangan language, eating with them, observing their rituals made me better understand my roles in this pilgrimage and my responsibility over it.

I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to part of a program that would lead them to a better socioeconomic and spiritual situation.
