Kahapon, Nakaraan
Rizal, PH - Kahapon, ako'y lumisan ng bahay upang pumunta ng Trinoma. Habang ako'y naglalakad palabas ng aming subdivision nakita ko ang isang batang lalaki edad 13-16 lulan ng kanyang bisekleta. Agad sumagi sa aking isip ang panahong ako yung nagbibisikleta inaabot ang sulok ng subdibisyon. Mga panahong hindi inaalintana ang init o ulan na papatak, magkanda gasgasgasgas ang mga tuhod at katawan makapagbisikleta lang. Naalala ko rin ang mga panahon na malaya kami ng aking kababatang umikot sa paligid. Namimiss ko ang mga panahong iyon. Namimiss ko ang mga araw na ako ay isang bata, walang malay. Sana pwede bumalik ang nakaraan. Sana pwedeng maging bata muli.. Sana.. sana..

Book of Eli: movie review
My recent weblog [before this] placed an important role to better open what I will be blogging now.What is it about movies and the apocalypse these days? There a few movies coming out the screen with apocalypse-theme. I haven’t watched 2012 but then as I’ve seen the trailer its pretty part of the future catastrophe that could possibly come. And now, here comes Denzel Washington lead actor of the film Book of Eli. Eli [Denzel Washington] was a wanderer/survivor walking west across America for 30 years after a cataclysmic war that turned the earth into a total wasteland. Life then is either to kill or be killed just for survival; you are living in an ecosystem wherein you can only kill people. Lucky you if you can see animals out. Eli with unbelievable killing skills became a warrior for self-defense with his Machete, pistol and a few. With his backpack full of things for trade, this includes his container for water and his most prize possession leather-covered book commonly known as the Bible. This book was just imperative that even the antagonist Carnegie [Gary Oldman] wants it on his possession. Carnegie assembled a cluster of men and runs to town in search of this prize book of Eli. He thinks that with it he can subjugate the world. In short, Carnegie wants to be sovereign in the middle of Sahara desert. Apparently, no copy survives [as far as the movie is concerned] but Eli’s. As I stated it, it is the most prize possession Eli has that he didn’t even want anyone, get it and even sees it. Like Eli, Carnegie remembers the days of war same as the Bible. Every stop Eli make, he sees to it that he is able to read the book of power.
Twin brothers Allen and Albert Hughes did a great job on this film. This is not just an ordinary movie for me but a reel full of stories and possible points that may change lives. What I love about the movie is not just the story itself but how each person acted upon their characters. Pretty amazing. At first, I didn’t know what about Book of Eli I just scrapped moolah from my wallet and pay the price of the ticket. I am afraid of not enjoying the movie film, because the start was like pure actions no talk and you’ll going to think of yourself being deaf of not hearing anything. I can feel the movie from where I’m sitting and each conversation they were making.
Book of Eli, not just a typical post-apocalypse movie but can be adapted to our own lives. Each and every scenario that could be seen played part on our own being. Every one of us is like Eli, walking down to west looking for that place wherein we can leave the book. Seen the symbolism? You play Eli’s role going West meaning going heaven wherein you can lie for rest and that how Eli did. Don’t worry about the where you walk, what street or place you will be passing, what people you will be meeting what is important is your faith that you have God on your backpack. He gave you everything you need; in Eli’s case those machetes, stopover water well, and so on for your travel. Have I told you Eli was blind? Think of it, even Carnegie did have the leather-covered book he cannot read it. Good thing here is the bible Eli was reading was a Braille King James version of the Bible. Lesson on your mind? What is it? For me I guess, this verse will answer it. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Psalm 23:4 [KJV]
This drives me every day of my life even Eli was touched by this verse. Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no evil for you are at my side for your rod and staff grants me courage. People, trust in Him and you will be fine. It is not because I am a catholic that I did love the movie but the story behind it a lesson is yet to be shared for us viewers. Try watching it, and may you’ll be moved by Eli.

Software Development, not by fate
After my exam, I went straight to Glorietta to bug off my mind out of tribulations and miseries. I set up my mind watching another romance movie. Fate gave me such bonus and drives me to watch not-so-romantic-movie Book of Eli. At first I thought Book of Eli was an action movie that I even told my girlfriend it is an action film [we should have watched them together the other day or maybe today]. Kuya strikes again, this time I will listen. [Seriously, I am not totally listening at Him] He let me watched the movie all alone, strikes me at my most unhappy part of my day. While I am watching a movie and I think of someone will bombard the movie house as one unknown person find a seat beside me and after few minutes left. I couldn't see anything as where he sat was a few seats from me but then he left it unfolded. To my nervousness I am praying that if this is my time, it is my time. The best part is, I am watching an apocalypse-type of movie. How real right? :) Further on, at first I didn't get a chance to tell myself I will love this movie but as the reel goes winding made me realize it is a good film to watch. Suggestion, watch it all by yourself then think of deep things like death and what ifs. :)
(Just to further spill to you what the movie is all about, lemme share it to you on my next post)
After I had watched it, I then hurry to go out of the movie house to my fear of someone bombarding it. haha! Well, every time I go to the movie house that is what runs on my wits. Relaxing, peaceful aura of a movie house ample of guys and gals are dating someone will ruin your day by taking Death bringer at your side. Anyway!
After I took my shopping center rituals, I decided to walk down the and settled to talk to my Father, I went to my Father’s house [ours] and talked. We had a good talk and rest is history.
As I am ending my day with a blog, I am trying to start a new life. Good start of mom taking me at a nearby dentist to treat my Aquino-colored teeth. And a good start of not having petty fight with my mom.
As I end this blog I just want to quote Eli's prayer I guess this is a good way to end the night.. "Dear Lord, Thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me. Thank you for guiding me straight and true through the many obstacles in my path. And for keeping I resolute when all around seemed lost. Thank you for your protection and your many signs along the way. Thank you for any good that I may have done, I'm so sorry about the bad. Thank you for the friend I made. Thank you for finally allowing me to rest. I'm so very tired, but I go now to my rest at peace. I fought the good fight, I finished the race, I kept the faith. "

Venture to Goat Business
Its been a while since I blogged here on my blogspot. Since highschool I am dreaming of having my own business. Business I'm thinking is not limited on technology business or anything related to my study. One of these days I'll be setting up my own agri farm in Nueva Ecija. Goats are good source of income, and that I venture into goat farming.
I just want to share to you my piece of cake, cake that which I am dreaming of having.
I just want to share to you my piece of cake, cake that which I am dreaming of having.
I agree with Doc Marc, housing is the easiest technology to acquire in goatraising. If you have the money, one can immediately construct it.
Aside from good animal husbandry, developing a good forage should also be a priority and this is also requires capital. I hate to admit it that this is one of my mistakes. However I'm now in the process of rectifying this. Don't forget to get a soil test. It pays off long term to be scientific in developing our forage. Planting grasses (kahit damo ito) is also difficult if the conditions are not met. As advised to us by Doc Emil of CLSU, make it appoint that we germinate 100 seeds everyday and make it a habit, this will sustain us in the long run.
About earning a profit in 2 years, forget it. I already did all permutations of business conditions and opex/capex analysis. If one will build a decent goathouse plus acquire good genetics and invest in forage development, the payback period is in between 3 to 4 years and cash sufficient within 3 years, which means you need to pump in additonal cash to operating expense in the next 2 years to sustain operations. You start to churn profits on the fourth year (best condition) to fifth year (worst condition). Backyard farming is simpler and they immediately earn profits because they are tethered and don't employ workers (family members are mostly taking care of the animals), So if you're looking at commercial goat farming, you need to look at a minimum 10 years time horizon.
I'm now in the process of learning the accounting standards used in agriculture. This was brought upon by the increased business activity using plants to produce medicines such as Ascof/Lagundi. I'll be more than willing to share this.

what's with singapore?
I do have a client, I actually met him earlier, he flew here in Manila just to talk to me and my team.
We deal with the client from Duration Inc Singapore. I don't know if I can answer what are going to do with their company. Well I just say we are going to develop two projects for them. We will be flying in Singapore for three weeks, will have a stipend, all expense paid, month salary of about $600. What else? That's it.
That's all I can say about my work in Singapore. By the way, after our trip there in Singapore we will be back here in the Philippines yeah? And will continue with the development. From that we'll setup an office here in Manila.

tell me, how would you know if it's really love you feel for someone, and not just plain crush-crush or infatuation?
Good question, actually its not easy thing to know if your in love or just a plain infatuation.
For me, easy way to look if you're in love or not.
when you're in love you can look at the person directly in the eye.
when you're in love you feel differently, you enjoy his/her company lalo na when you're out with him/her.
when you're in love every single day you're with him/her tendency is you will be hurt and when you're hurt you are in love.
when you're in love definitely you will not find a reason why you are loving.
when you're in love no walls, no ceilings no floors.
that's all. thank you!

what is the best and at the same time worst thing you can ever give to someone? ;))
Best I can give to someone? I think my life, entire life. Look, I believe that's the best give I could or better say anyone could give to someone. When you surrender yourself to someone it means you are for him/her for life. Yeah?!
Worst thing? I can't think of worst...

when to say i love you
When to say I love you? Tough question I say.
I love you is not just an ordinary phrase we can use in our daily living for I believe that the word LOVE is so complex. Since I was left by my ex couple of years ago I started thinking if I do really love her or the person I usually tell those phrase. I do have doubts about loving people after that.
Those people who are close to me knows about it. I don't remember who I had a talk with and she keeps on telling me why don't I tell that phrase? I just nodded and say, nothing. Now, if you read this then you know why.
To conclude, I love you should be enunciated when you know from deep inside that you love the person. That's all thank you!

what will you do if someone confess' their love to you?
flattered at first, but we're alive and I am kickin' my own life so I can't tell her that I can love her too 'cause in the first place feelings are not mutual.
Happy that you confessed it, sadly I can't tell you that I love you too.

what are your flaws/weaknesses?
Everybody has a weakness so I'd reveal some of mine.
I am a lazy person, I don't do much chores. I easily trust the person even if they aren't worthy of it. You can BI me easily. I am weak, both spiritually and mentally. But I know I have a strong God with me.

what do you think about religion?
For me, religion is important. It is not just part of an ordinary life here but a test of how faithful you are to your God. I believe everything we have here, every single thing that is happening to us are destined for us, it is given by our God. And I do believe that eventhough we have so many religions we just adore a single God.

Anong ayaw mo sa tao?
Isa sa ayaw ko sa tao is yung nagsisinungaling sa akin. Tapos yung tamang may sinabi na siya kanina tapos biglang babawiin. Kung sasabihin niyang ganon rin ako, eh nako! ako kasi naiinis sa taong nag sasabi ng Huh? ha? ano? Ano nga? sa akin so kung nasabi mo sa akin yun pissed off na ako bukas nalang ulit. At isa pa sa ayoko sa tao eh yung malakas mang asar na wala sa lugar yung asar niya. Backstabber rin! tska yung malakas magpatama. Oo naging ganon ako noon, naging backstabber ako, naging malakas ako magpatama ero narealize ko na indi tama yun. Kung may pinagaralan ka naman at sa tingin mong worth it ka matawag na professional eh siguro tigilan mo ang pangbaback stab at pagpapatama. Alalahanin mo na uneducated people do knows and master those crafts.
