It’s not that I don’t believe in God, it’s just that my concept of God isn’t what it used to be, which is that of an omnipotent super powerful Being that is conceptualized to look like human and is referred to as “He”. Nor do I believe that God is “up there, looking down on us.”
Rather, my concept of “God” is more of a universal,...

Why do we never talk about how ugly bus seat designs are?
I love these seats!
I KNOW THESE. look for all the separate elements including: sand castle, roman numerals, gothic letters, an umbrella, numbers, checkered patterns, etc .

Bakit may mga taong hindi marunong rumespeto sa gamit ng may gamit?
Taong hahalughugin ang kwarto mo habang wala ka, at kukuha na lamang basta ng gamit na hindi naman sa kanya, tapos magagalit pag sinabihan na dapat magpaalam muna siya kung gusto niyang makigamit.

I still keep expecting to find my phone in my bag… Only, I know it won’t be there. And I can just hope that whoever took it really needed it or the money s/he can get from it.
On the upside, I still get the same number. Would just have to rebuild my contacts.

However, Ishac Bertran came up with a plausible concept for transferring files that looks like an awesome way to get the job done.

Pride vs. Rejection
whyngaba:
Bakit kadalasan, mas pinipili ng tao ang pride kesa sa possibility na ma-reject at ma-hurt sila?
Admit it, it’s those moments of stupidity and/or foolishness/silliness that are the best to remember. Sarap lang pagtawanan ang sarili. :))

I need to remember to always take care when I re-blog, especially when I’m re-blogging “quotes”.
A lot of times we just re-blog without double-checking the sources or even if the text is properly quoted. Yes, I’m guilty of this but I do try to check if the quote and the name of the person is…

On our way back from a day spent lining up at the DFA for renewal of passport, Lola Gie suffered an accident that resulted in a head trauma. A week of observation yielded positive results in that nothing seemed to be amiss (i.e., no dizziness, vomiting, etc.).
But on Sunday, April 1, 2012, at about 12mn, we rushed Lola Gie to the hospital due to a day of what we later...
