Why bother?

Posted by: fcbaula on: April 10, 2009

I know a man who is in his late 30s. Just like many Filipinos, he does more than what his body is capable of just to feed his family. When I see or hear about a hardworking man who does everything for his family despite his physical limitations, I am inspired. I always want to [...]

Where would I be if not for your grace?
Carrying me in every season.
Grace that repairs visions and dreams.*

Priceless, unnoticed gifts

Posted by: fcbaula on: February 4, 2008

I was on a high today, overwhelmed at how I can receive so many gifts all in just one day. I also felt foolish at how often in the past, life’s everyday-gifts were unnoticed simply because I was too busy thinking and doing I-don’t-know-what.
Here are a few of today’s remarkable gifts:
-After ten long months, [...]

Twenty three years of LOVE

Posted by: fcbaula on: January 22, 2008

That’s right, it will be twenty three years in exactly a month from now that I’ve been consuming oxygen, water, time, love and other resources of this planet and the people who live in it. With almost twenty three years, have I learned any good thing? Any wisdom gained?
Sure I have. MEMORIES ARE PRECIOUS. [...]

It’s mom’s time to shine

Posted by: fcbaula on: December 3, 2007

I’m home alone. I find this funny, if not odd, that this situation is the opposite of how it was just a year ago. You see, I am all alone because my mom went out to attend their Christmas party.
She and the rest of the senior citizen small groups are throwing a party for the [...]

Posted by: fcbaula on: November 30, 2007

I LOVE Christmas!
The wind’s so cold na…Weeeee!
P.S. I have yet to write about some very important events that had recently occurred (with Akon, Trillanes, the Senate public hearings, etc) but I’m too happy to write about them right now. Hihihi!

Pardon Granted to Erap

Posted by: fcbaula on: October 27, 2007

Yesterday (hours ago), Former President Estrada finally came home to his wife and family in San Juan. He was granted Executive Clemency last Thursday.
I’m not going to speculate or judge what has just happened and the motives behind such a decision. All I can say is that pardon is a hard and rare thing. [...]

May Liwanag ang Buhay

Posted by: fcbaula on: October 24, 2007

I woke up to a morning with shades of grey. The sun was up but it wasn’t shining in my room because it has been raining for the past few days. Mornings this week have been chilly and grey. But the reason why I woke up in quite a dark room was because we had [...]

Love.

Posted by: fcbaula on: October 24, 2007

LOVE. Wow, I’m actually going to write about it now huh?
You can’t choose the time, you can’t say, “Stop, come back when I’m all good or when I’m not hurting because I’m actually thinking of you.”
No matter how happy or sulky you’re feeling, when that person comes knocking, why can’t we just say no? [...]
