How do you feel when you look at a blank wall? A sheet of paper? A canvass? or An empty notepad page?
Most people would rather look away, turn the page or simply, exit and move along to something more appealing to the eye.
Not me.
Well, of course, there’s the occassional stare into space, and the frequent lapse into the abyss as you fill it in with letters and words, but really, it’s the meaning that makes the most sense. What else would it be if it wasn’t?
So after such careful rant and an attempt to cut the monotony of this sheet of white, all I wanted to say is, I am so in love with you.
And to all those who are in love, fill each other’s life with words and meaning, with color and laughter. Life is beautiful and short.
Share smiles and sunlight through each other’s eyes. Love like tomorrow – an ever after that starts now. Above all, extend your happiness. It is contagious and it never hurts.
Embrace someone. Don’t be afraid to tell someone you care.
So, amidst this white space, I tell you, I do care.
If only you could get to read this.
Maybe, it wouldn’t be so difficult.

Nung una kong narinig ang MORCON, nagutom ako. Malay ko ba naman na ang ibig sabihin ng MORCon ay Mastering Online Rankings Conference. Hindi lang siguro talaga ako nagppay attention. On second thought, para naman talagang Morcon yung seminar – it’s stuffed of juicy ingredients that made SEO (Search Engine Optimization), SM (Social Media) and SMO (Social Media Optimization) much easier to deal with.

Dahil adik si Gaea sa Midnight DJ na dating pinapalabas sa ABC5, minabuti kong isulat ang isa sa mga naranasan namin nung Summer.
Hindi po ako matatakutin at lalong hindi po ako mapamahiin. Laking Maynila na po ako at dahil maaga akong namulat sa mga horror flicks tulad ng People Under the Stairs, Friday the 13th, Night of the Living Dead, Pet Semetary at Exorcist, naging skeptical na ako sa mga horror flicks. Nagbabasa din po ako ng mystery/horror fiction. Si Christopher Pike, RL Stine, Anne Rice (Vampire Chronicles) at si Stephen King ang favorite ko noon.
Yung mga horror flicks ngayon, mas creative. Andyan na ang The Ring, Shutter, Exorcism of Emily Rose at saka Mirrors. Hindi naman horror yung istorya ko pero di ko kasi inaakala na puwede siyang mangyari sakin kaya sinusulat ko ito.

Full Steam Ahead, the book I’m reading, describes a company who is always on the go as “fully powered and moving ahead full force”. It however, also mentions that the idea may also mean a company becoming “reckless and blindly moving ahead in the face of danger.”
I think that an empowered company is one where each member finds “company” as fun and “work” as natural and effortless. It is where learning is a value and open-mindedness a requirement. It is a dynamic whole moved by its parts. What keeps it together is a vision. A dream that involves both the company as an entity and its members as individuals.
Thus, everyone knows where they are going. The destination is certain. But the journey is unknown. The good thing is, nobody has to face it alone.
