Undas Specials: Ano Ang Nasa Dako Pa Roon?

'Death moves in mysterious ways 🎶'

Ang sabi nga sa kanta ng bandang MYMP, "love moves in a mysterious ways", pero siguro sa tingin ko hindi lamang ang pag-ibig ang misteryoso ang buong buhay ng tao ay nababalot ng misteryo. Verum Est totoo ba ito? Ano ang nasa dako pa roon? Ano nga ba? 

Marami tayong mga katanungan ngunit wala pa talagang nakakasagot. Sa tuwing mapapag-usapan ang ganitong mga paksa ay hanggang duon lamang tayo sa mga teorya kung mayroon na nga bang nakabalik sa buhay pagkatapos ng kamatayan.

Undas na naman hindi ito panahon para mag-party sa sementeryo, magdala ng malalaking speakers, pagkain at kung anu-ano pa. Higit sa lahat hindi ito picnic. Ang undas ay hindi para magtakutan panahon ito upang magnilay-nilay tayo sa ating mortalidad.

Ang kamatayan ay natural na bahagi ng buhay. Mukhang dito lang halos nagkakasundo sundo ang paniniwala ng bawat relihiyon sa buong mundo. Sinasabi nga ng ilang mga philosophers na kaya naimbento ang relihiyon at pananampalataya ay para mas maintindihan natin ang kamatayan. May mga taong hindi matanggap na sa sementeryo na lang magtatapos ang lahat. Ayaw nating tanggapin na hanggang sa paglagay lang sa atin ng bulak sa ilong, mamake-upan, at pagsusuotin ng puting barong at ibuburo sa panghabambuhay na kaha matatapos ang lahat. 

Para sa Kristiyanismo at Muslim ang buhay ng tao ay isa lamang matinding paghahanda para sa susunod na buhay. Sa Bibliya sa John 11:25, ang sinumang maniwala kay Kristo ay makakamtan ang buhay na walang hanggan sa langit. Sa Islam naman, kailangan ang tapat na paglilingkod kay Allah para makamtan ito. Sa mga relihiyon naman na Buddhism at Hinduism, nakadepende ang susunod mong buhay kung paano mo trinatrato ang kapwa mo. Kung salbahe ka puwede kang mareincarnate bilang uod, ipis, kuto o balakubak o di kaya gagambang stick. Kung mabait ka naman, siguro uhmmm puwede kang maging ruler hindi yung panukat ha, puwede ka maging isang leader o hari o sabihin na nating Presidente ng Pilipinas. Yun ee kung tatanggapin mong maging Presidente ng Pilipinas.

Ang problema eh, wala pang nakakabalik mula sa kabilang buhay para ipahayag kung anong meron sa itaas o sa ilalim o hindi kaya ang karamihan ay nasa gitna o yung tinatawag na purgatoryo? Kaya uulitin ko ang tanong ano nga ba ang nasa dako pa roon? Kaya kahit na ano pang sabihin ni Juan Karlos Labajo na "puting ilaw" na nakakabulag na kailangan mong sundan para sa tuwid na daan eh baka sa piling lang ni NoyNoy Aquino ka mapunta o mga bagay na nagpaflash ang buong buhay mo sa iyong mga mata, wala at WALA pa rin kongkretong siyentipikong eksplanasyon o patunay na meron ngang buhay na nakabalik mula sa the "other side".

Demon Hunter - 'On My Side'

Pero tohl, let us take a wild imagination, let's make a guess, ano nga kaya ang feeling pagkatapos ng buhay natin sa mundo? Oo naniniwala ako sa kaluluwa, pare-pareho tayong naniniwala na lalabas ang ating kaluluwa sa katawan pagkatapos nating ma-deads, pero ang tanong saan ito papunta pagkatapos nating ma-todas? Makikita ko nga ba ang aking sarili sa tinatawag na death bed habang lumabas na ang kaluluwa ko sa aking katawan? Ang sabi nila ang kaluluwa mo ay bigla na lang hihigupin sa mundo ng mga espiritu. Makikita ko kaya sila Eugene at tropang Ghost fighters sa mundo iyon?  Paano yung mga namatay sa kalsada, paano sila makakauwi sa kani-kanilang tahanan para magpaalam o magparamdam man lang sa mga mahal sa buhay? Ang kaluluwa ba natin ay makakapagteleport na sa ting mga kabahayan o kailangan pa ng kaluluwa na mamasahe umangkas sa jeep, taxi, MRT para lamang makauwi. Nako kaluluwa ka na mata-trapik ka pa noh?

Marami akong napapanood na nanggaling sila sa kamatayan at muling nabuhay. Ito yung mga tinatawag na near death experience. Though may mga kwento sila na napunta sila sa impyerno ang iba naman ay sa langit at mismong si Hesus ang guide nila at ipinakita sa kanila kung anong kahihinatnan ng isang nilalang kung sakaling ito ay mapunta sa lugar kung saan ang apoy ay panghabambuhay at lahat ng pag-asa ay hindi mo makakamtan. Ipinakita sa kanila dahil iyon malamang ay huling warning ng ating tagapagligtas na nararapat sila ay magbago sa masasamang gawain. 

Demon Hunter - 'Carry Me Down'

Sa aking mga nababasa at napapanood kung ikaw daw ay sakaling mapunta sa ilalim, wala ka nang takas dito tohl at habambuhay na parusa at pagsisisi ang iyong mararamdaman. Sa isang video na pinamagatang "Gates of Hell" dito isinasaad na dapat tayo ay naniniwala na may impiyerno at dapat mangilabot ka at katakutan ang lugar na ito. Kaya hanggat may pagkakataon ay baguhin ang masasamang gawi at umpisahan ang mabubuting gawa at tanggapin ang guidance at pagmamahal ng ating Tagapagligtas na si Hesukristo. Na siya rin namang pinaniniwalaan ko na wala kang dapat ikatakot sa kamatayan kung ang lahat ng iyong kasalanan ay pinagsisihan mo na at hiningian mo na ng tawad sa ating Panginoon. Lahat tayo ay mamamatay, at lahat tayo ay may patutunguhan pagkatapos nating magpaalam sa mundong ito. 

Sa tingin ko sa pagsilang pa lang natin ay nakasulat na ang mga mangyayari sa atin sa buhay. Kung kelan ka bibigyan ng pagsubok ng Diyos hanggang sa kung papaanong paraan ka mamamatay. Kaya napakalaking kasalanan nga talaga kung sino man ang mga taong gustong magpakamatay, mga taong kumitil sa kanilang buhay. Instant go to hell nga ba ang mga taong nagpakamatay? at sa Katoliko ay hindi binibigyang bendisyon ang katawan sa simbahan bago ihatid sa huling hantungan?

Sa impiyerno daw ay araw-araw kang papatayin kinabukasan ay muling mabubuhay at bago matapos ang isang araw ay pahihirapan ka na naman hanggang sa mamatay ka na naman. Sabi nga ni Kuya Germs, "walang tulugan", wala ka ring kapayapaan. Yung tipong ang maririnig mo lang ay masasakit na sigaw na pagpapahirap ng mga demonyo sa mga katawan ng kaluluwang nandito. Makikita mo yung mga ampapanget na demonyo na unti-unting pinipilas yung katawan mo, mga pagpapahirap na unlimited, yung kung anong gusto nilang gawin sa katawan mo ay wala kang masasaklolohan. Basta para ka lang light switch, "patay-buhay-patay-buhay". 

Kapag namatay ka daw ay may susundo sa iyo na isasakay ka sa bangka, ito yung tinatawag na Ferry Man at ihahatid ka sa purgatoryo. Purgatory, as Catholic says, is a place or a state of suffering having the quality of cleansing or purifying before going to heaven. How cleansing is done is we don't know. What kind of creatures are there in purgatory, we don't know. How long will we stay there is we don't know? Eh, mas okay na sa purgatory mapunta kesa rekta ka sa impiyerno di ba? In purgatory you are purifying but you are purifying it with fire. Everyone in the purgatory under this purifying fire will be saved, while those who are in hell are lost forever. Oh di ba olats na sila agad dun wala na, no return no exchange. Now if the souls are already purified, every tear of suffering that we endured in the purifying process every tear will be wiped away in heaven. 

'Charon' - the Ferry Man

Lahat tayo walang takas sa kamatayan at dahil alam nating mamamatay tayo balang araw diba dapat yun nga ang magtulak sa atin para mas mabuhay. Kung alam mong bilang na ang mga araw mo dapat mas lalo mong habulin ang pangarap mo. Kung alam mong maigsi lang ang buhay hindi ba mas lalo kang magmamahal. At kung alam mong tinatawag ka na ni kamatayan hindi ba mas lalo mo ngang gusto mabuhay.

Kapag kumatok na si kamatayan handa ka na bang salubungin siya? Walang makakapagsabi kung sino ang mamamatay o sino ang mabubuhay, kaya dapat mabuhay ka na parang wala ng bukas. Wag kang matakot mamatay dahil sa kamatayan nangagagaling ang halaga ng buhay.

Kaya kung ikaw ay walang pananampalataya at sa kabaong lang matatapos ang kwento ng buhay mo, paano mo ba gagamitin ang buhay na ito? Magpapaka happy-happy ka na lang? o magpapakamartir na lang? sabihin na nating parang mga Santo dahil umaasa ka na may mangyayari pa sa'yo 'pag-exit mo sa mundong ito. Pero yun ang kagandahan ng buhay ee, nananatiling misteryo pa rin kung ano ang mangyayari sa atin pag-disappear natin sa mundong ito. Unless, kung ikaw ay Buddhist na naniniwala sa "re-incarnation". Kaya nga i-enjoy na lang natin ang buhay dahil isang beses lang tayo mabubuhay. Hindi video games ang buhay mo tohl na may tatlong spared lives. Ika nga ng kasabihan ng mga put*&^%$ nmga millennials "You Only Live Once". 

Traveling Places: The National Shrine of Saint Padre Pio, Sto.Tomas Batangas

'The solemn place of The National Shrine of Saint Padre Pio, San Pedro, Sto Tomas, Batangas'

Whenever we feel worried or have a lot of worries especially when we feel thankful for all the wonderful things happening in our lives we go to a place where we can give thanks for all our blessings that we received from God. Going here makes me feel at ease and calm, it's as if Padre Pio is really there welcoming everyone.

Thankfully, I finally got the chance to visit the National Shrine of Saint Padre Pio located at San Pedro, Sto. Tomas, Batangas. Special credit to my Tita Merly for making this happen. It was my first time here at the shrine and it really gives a comforting feeling. It was something that you can't explain a very calm and solemn place for everyone, especially for the family.

We boarded the rented van at around 6AM and we arrive at the shrine at 8:00 AM. The second mass started at around 8:30 AM so we got an extra 30 minutes to roam around and take pictures on the very clean and orderly park around the place.

The homily of the mass was easy to understand and it's all about "Thanking God every day for all the blessings and guidance that we received big or small." Most especially in my case, I was a heart surgery survivor. This is my second life so that I'm very thankful to God for this wonderful grace and healing including Saint Padre Pio who was known for the miracles of healing heart diseases. Padre Pio actually died of a heart attack in his cell in San Giovanni Rotondo in Italy in the early morning of September 23, 1968.

Saint Padre Pio is revered as a man of charity and piety. Also known as the patron saint of civil defense volunteers, adolescents, and stress-relief. He is also known as the patron saint of the millennials. Saint Padre Pio's life and works have inspired several devotees in the Roman Catholic Church from all over the world.

Padre Pio is understood above all else as a man of prayer. He prayed almost continuously. His prayers were usually very simple. He loved to pray the Rosary and recommended it to others.

From a small chapel before, Padre Pio has grown into the shrine and many devotees and even tourists go here especially during Holy Week and every September 23 about 10,000 faithful and devotees flocked in the Parish and Shrine in San Pedro, Sto.Tomas Batangas for the feast of the Franciscan stigmatist, Padre Pio.

You will see this phrase, "Pray, Hope and Don't Worry" of Saint Padre Pio everywhere at the National Shrine which will give you hope and faith even more.

The Beatles - 'Let It Be'

This is the top view side of the Church it looks like a dome-type roof, a big hat or salakot. In appearance, the church is one big salakot. Even the other structures around the church bear salakot in their roofs. Salakot is used by farmers and fishermen around the Philippines. It symbolizes God's protection of His children.

These are the extended seats outside the church which can accommodate more people come Holy Week.

Inside this Holy Tower are Saint Padre Pio's portraits from his childhood and the map of the whole shrine.

Demon Hunter - 'Im a Stone'

There are envelopes in the area where you can write your wish/es and slip in a donation to go with your petition.

Pots that are made of clay are also filled with Holy Water, it can be found in every corner of the chapel which allows everyone to bring their own holy water with them, some even drink it as well.

Let's make our visit at the National Shrine of Saint Padre Pio a serene one, if  you're going to bring your whole family, make sure to tell your kids not to run around and make noises as well. Wear a suitable clothes since you're going to a sacred place.

Barcelona Stray Cats

Nope, I'm not talking about Spain. It's just the name of our subdivision owned by the giant firm Camella Homes.

Here in the Philippines, I can say that millions are suffering from homelessness. Children beg for spare coins on the streets, while adults perform the common jobs to survive. We Filipinos do what we can to keep ourselves and our families going, most importantly to have food on our table. Some of these poor families are sleeping under bridges when it's time to retire at night.

What many fail to consider when discussing the country's battle against homelessness, however, is the growing number of stray animals who suffered the same fate as their human counterparts. Stray cats and dogs are labeled puspins and aspins a slang for pusang Pinoy and asong Pinoy, terms that translate as "Filipino cat" and "Filipino dog". Unfortunately, these stray animals seem unwanted compared to purebred, pedigreed companions. You can see a growing number of puspins and aspins in the city pound waiting for some kind-hearted people who will adopt them and unlucky for those who got sick in the dirty city streets sadly they were put down on a so-called "mercy-killing".

These stray animals roam the streets, often attempting to salvage whatever leftover food they can find in garbage cans and canals. If they're lucky, they are rescued and adopted by kind souls willing to welcome them into their homes and give them the comfort and shelter that they need. A normal day for a stray, however, would be lacking much human contact, lest they find themselves in any additional form of danger.

The harsh reality for stray animals is that there are just too many of them. Many people resolution is to harm or kill off entire stray populations for the safety of their own properties and sometimes it's just for fun to hurt them. 

I've been feeding strays since 2013 when I purchase a junior mountain bike I noticed that there are many strays on the streets and being an animal lover it really hurts to see the scenery. I've thought of a plan on how can I feed them. I started the Project Pawprints, it's just a thing of my own which I asked my mother to cook a viand for them and mix it with rice to put in a plastic container and distribute it to the hungry strays. The next time I ride during my days off I roam around at the early dawn. I started at 4:00 AM and ride starting from our home up to Zapote. That is my route every rest days and I feed all of the stray dogs and cats that I saw on the highway of Emilio Aguinaldo. 

Avril Lavigne - 'Keep Holding On'

Unluckily, I got sick with a chronic condition and I stopped riding in 2016. Though even if I'm having shortness of breath because of my heart problem I'm still giving food by commuting minus the junior mountain bike that I named "blue blink". 

Come 2018, all the Glory and Praise to the Lord my surgery become successful. Long story short I'm slowly healing I purchased a new bike and starting to feed stary animals again not on the highway for now but inside our subdivision, here in our community. There are many stray cats here, in every street, in every corner with their kittens following their mother cats roaming around every street looking for left-over foods. 

"Muning" 

This is my new routine. I use to ride on my break time from my work from home job and since the doctor told me to keep on moving to keep the blood flowing and besides I really need a cardio exercise. It's really high time to activate my biking skills. I said to myself it's time! It's a compatible thing to do cardio exercises and feeding strays as well. So I buy 1 kilo of Friskies for them and travel to Phase 2 to Phase 4 here in Barcelona Homes and distribute the treats for this beautiful hungry creatures.

My home includes 1 dog and 17 cats all of them are puspins, 2 are adoptees. I look at each of them and see no difference in the way that they wake up, stretch, and cry for food early in the morning. I see no difference in the way that they all adore being cuddled. I see no difference in the way that they live, the way that the mother cats taking care of there kittens. I see no difference in the way that they love. It's high time that we look beyond a consideration such as a breed and open our homes to the countless nonhuman animals in search of places to call their own. Or if not, at least we feed them spare but "not rotten" foods. 

The Burning Star: Retracing Star City

'As you burned down the smiles we left there, we will wither too'

I had some fond memories in star city. We've been there several times especially in the 90s era. The travel time going to star city from our house at San Andres Bukid, Manila is only just 30 minutes away. When I was a child we usually go there during Holiday seasons. I still remember when I and my cousins along with our aunties and parents enjoyed the rides of star city. Sighs, how I miss those days. We experienced the adrenalin rush with the extreme rides we first had when we entered the gate of star city. These kinds of rides are on top of our list.

At the Star City

A place for entertainment, amusement, and pleasure, Star City is most lively during Christmas holidays when adults and kids take delight to experience exciting rides coupled with a flea market, shopping and live concert shows.

The place is crowded with people waiting for the opening of the park. And the lines are long at the entrance. It was a joyous feeling for the kids like us as you can see never-ending colorful lights at the scenery and the songs of Christmas are playing in the air. Nothing but a happy heart is all that I can feel.

Like many years before, the carousel is the first ride that you can spot upon entering the venue. Ask me if I did ride the carousel? Well, no I guess I'm too old for that. But back on our Foundation day in elementary days, of course, I did ride the second famous ride in the carnival. In our time, we call it the "Merry-go-rounds".

People all over the world have enjoyed these rotating devices for centuries. Rotating devices of various sorts were in used across Europe and America as early as 500 AD. Carousel-makers back in the day introduced the use of steam engines in merry-go-rounds and carousels began to more closely resemble what we would recognize today.

Here is the list of KIDDIE RIDES in Star City.

The Quack-quack

It's a six-duck tub with seating up to four.

Little Tykes

It's a giant playground for kids. Kids can release all that energy and have hours of indoor fun.

The Rodeo

A different kind of vehicles that travel up and down in a form of the convoy along a loop track.

Ball Pool

Little kids will love exploring a maze of tubes ending up in a slide of softballs on the surface.

Tea Cup

That same old ride which you can spin in a giant-sized teacup.

Kiddie Bump Car

Definitely, one of my favorite ride when I was a kid.

Kiddie Wheel

A Ferris wheel for kids minus the daunting height.

Poets of the Fall - 'Carnival of Rust'

ADULT RIDES

The Zyklon Loop

One can say "one hell of a ride." This is one of the famous rides in Star City. It's a roller coaster that travels at the speed of 60 kph and features a 60-degree drop, banking turns of over 720 degrees. This is the country's first imported 360-degree loop coaster. Trust me a tito like me won't ride that, "magkamatayan na."

Star Flyer

Another roller coaster ride that became controversial in 2009. A man died after falling from the ride. A witness said the man's body hit the metal framing of the ride before finally falling to the ground. The Star Flyer is among the few rides that survived a fire on October 2, 2019, which destroyed most of the amusement park.

Surf Dance

If you have vertigo and afraid of heights don't dare to experience this ride. The first and only of its kind in the Philippines is a family gondola ride that is about the height of a five-story building. The 44-seat ride swings upwards, downwards, and sideways. So you bet, you'll gonna throw up later.

Blizzard

It is an all-family roller coaster ride that will take you to an exciting experience.

Wild River

The ride consists of a dozen log boats that travel down a channel propelled by a strong current of water. The boats allowed to drop freely from the height of up to 15 meters into a SPLASHHHH!!! For me, it's an anti-stress ride because of the cold water splashing at your face.

Super Viking

It is a pirate ship-inspired family ride that swings forward and backward horizontally.

Gabi ng Lagim

Filipinos with an obsession for local folklore may just find what they are looking for at Star City's Gabi ng Lagim. Inspired by a longtime radio program of the same title, the attraction's horror house features the creepiest creatures in the Philippine mythology - from the nuno sa punso, tikbalang, kapre, manananggal to the zombie creatures - as well as the scariest traditional practices of Filipinos like kulam and kultos.

The horror house is more realistic, they added sound effects taken from the Gabi ng Lagim radio show. The lighting also summons a truly spine-chilling feel.

THE DOWNFALL OF STAR CITY / FIRE RAGE

An early morning fire on October 2, 2019, burned through 80 percent of the Star City complex in Pasay City, including the theme park that has been a staple "pasyalan" of Filipino families during the holiday season for nearly three decades. The amusement park opened its doors in 1991 and has an annual attendance of about 1.5 million people according to the books.

Initial investigations showed the fire started in the storage facility filled with stuffed toys and other assorted prizes. Investigators are looking at electrical trouble and arson as possible causes of the fire 

based on how quickly the blaze spread.

The memories of our childhood in this place will never be forgotten. As you burn down the smiles we left there we will wither too.  All my childhood memories we're there and it was just burned to ashes. Thank you for the 3 decades.

Bakit nga ba Masaya Maging Blogger?

'Ang tito blogger ng Imus, Cavite'

Hindi ko alam kung kailan ako unang nag-post dito pero 5 taong gulang na ang ubasnamaycyanide.blogspot na site!!

Sa totoo lang, hindi magtatagal ng ganito ang blog na ito kung hindi ako naging masaya o maligaya sa mga pinaggagawa ko. Noong una, itinayo ko ito dahil lang sa bored ako sa trabaho ko. Ayaw ko noon na magpost ng mga blog sa Facebook dahil nababasa ng mga boss ko yung mga sinulat ko (dahil minsan ko nang isinulat ang mga maling sistema niya sa pagpapatakbo ng isang eskuwelahan at ewan ko lang kung nabasa niya ito.)

Masaya maging blogger. Masarap. Maraming sorpresa. Basta. Hindi siya para sa lahat, pero doon sa mga matitiyaga at masisipag maraming rewards din naman ang makukuha sa pagiging blogger.

1. HINDI KA MABOBOBO

Kung wala kang trabaho. Kung wala kang tinatrabaho sa iyong trabaho. Kung wala kang pasok. O kung wala kang ginagawa sa mundo. Kung blogger ka, siguradong hindi ka mabobobo. Kasi kapag nagsulat ka ginagamit mo utak mo. Never ito naghihibernate. At kung bumisita ka naman sa ibang blogosperyo o blog sites ay marami kangmatututunan. Minsan pa nga, para sa akin, eto ang means ko para makabalita ng mga nangyayari sa mundo. Ano ba ang trending? Kung ano ba ang uso. Sino ang sikat at kung sino ang huling lumabas at na-evict sa Bahay ni Kuya. Pero dapat handa ka rin sa mga kritisismo ng iyong mga sinusulat lalo na kung medyo ma-pulitika ito o ma-relihiyon. Pero dito sa UNMC ay madalang ako magsulat ng mga puwedeng pagtalunan ng bawat tao. Ayoko ng ganun gusto ko ang lahat ay nakakarelate at dapat good vibes post lang tayo.

2. MAAAPRECIATE ANG TALENT MO

Kung ikaw ay isang photographer, pwede mong ipost ang mga litrato mo, mga kuha mo at tiyak akong mayroong magkokomento dito. Kung mahusay kang magsulat ng kwento, maraming blogger ang mambobola sa'yo na pwede ka nang magsulat ng mga articles tungkol sa isang washing machine, digital bidet, door bell, CCTV cameras at pati tabo. Kung mahilig kang magsulat ng tula aba pogi plus yan, may pagkakataon pang mainlove sa'yo ang mambabasa mo. Ang blog naman ay libre para sa lahat. Manunulat, photographer, artista, pulitiko, pokpok, tulak basta ba gusto mo magshare ng buhay mo sa mundo ay may kalayaan kang gawin ito. Sooner or later meron ding makakapansin sa talento mo hahaluan mo lang din ng pasensiya.

3. PANTANGGAL STRESS

Ano pa nga ba? Dito mo mailalabas lahat ng galit mo sa mundo. Sa boss mong inutil. Sa kaibigan mong aanga-anga. Sa mga kaaway na walang alam gawin sa buhay kundi bwisitin ka. Sa mundo, kung hindi mo kayang isigaw ang galit, dito mo ito mailalabas. Makakahanap ka pa ng kakampi. Merong mangangaral. pero karamihan naman sa kanila maiintindihan ka. Malalaman mo pang madalas na hindi ka nag-iisa. At syempre, maraming blogger din sa mundo na makulit.

Kamikazee - Tagpuan

Marami na rin akong ginawang ibat-ibang design ng FB cover page. 

4. MAY MGA PERKS! 

Ni minsan hindi pa ako nakakatikim ng libre dahil isa akong blogger, pero ang mga bloggers ay isa na ring target demographic ng ilang mga consumer brands. So kung sikat ka, puwede kang ayain para matikman ang pagkain nila para ireview mo sa blog mo. Madalas pa nga, mayroong mga tao na nagtatayo ng blog paral ang kumita. Di naman maitatanggi, meron naman talagang kumikita dito. Pero dahil traditional na blogger ako, itago sa bato, hindi ko gagawing business ang blog na ito. Ang punto ko lang naman, mayroongmga perks din ang pagiging blogger.

5. MARAMING MAKIKILALANG KAIBIGAN.

Ito na marahil ang dahilan kung bakit ako nagtatagal sa mundong ito. Marami akong nakikilalang mga bagong kaibigan dahil sa pagba-blog. Kahit pa sabihin nating tatlo o apat pa lang talagang ang nakikita ko, kahit sa mga kumento lang, at sa mga nababasa ko sa mga post nila, nagiging kilala at nagiging feeling close ako sa kanila. Palaging merong something na magkatulad kayo. Ang palitan ng kumento, mapupunta sa palitan ng numero. Di niyo na lang mapapansin nagkakape na kayo. At kung susuwertehin ka pa, maaaring dito mo rin makilala ang mamahalin mo at taong magmamahal sa'yo pang-habambuhay.

Kaya siguro, kahit na ilang beses akong mawala at hindi nakakapagsulat, palagi pa rin akong bumabalik. Masaya kasing maging isang blogger.

Ako nga po pala ay muling magpapasalamat sa lahat ng bumisita, nagbasa, nagfollow, naglike, dumaan, nagkomento, nag-ayang makipag-date, napadpad, umaway at nakipagdebate sa akin dito sa blog na ito.

Five years. Wow. Inuugat na ako dito sa blogspot.
