i felt nothing before you came to my life. i am minding my own d*mned life and i’m just doin’ fine. nothing special, nothing to look forward to, just plain stagnant. there was even a time that i was asking myself what am i missing. i thought i’d be buried in hopelessness but i like it the way it was. and then one afternoon, you said “hi”.

It’s Christmas and you’re feeling down
I’m gonna pass the smile around
It’s gonna bring me closer to you

One smile will take away your frown
One smile will turn your day around
This season, there’s no time to be blue

REFRAIN
Don’t forget to wear a smile
You’ll never know who’s smiling back at you

CHORUS
Every time I see you
I hear there’s something that’ll make you smile
So kiss me if you want to
Don’t you worry if we’re apart
I hope this season
Will be a reason enough to make you smile

This Christmas, if you’re all alone
One smile will make you feel at home
I wanna bring you closer to me

Resigned Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz, Jr is right on the mark by stressing that he prefers to have another civilian, with no deep military ties or connections to succeed him as the new defense chief.

This is by far one of the most sensible thing I’ve heard from the men and women who compose the Arroyo administration, or in Cruz’ case, once become part of.

Ever since Arroyo took over the reigns of power, the military has been at the center of scandals, controversies and most likely behind the scenes of the recent rise in political killings and massive human rights abuses suffered by the peasant, labor and even laity leaders critical of the Arroyo administration.

Platonic love is viewed today as a love between two people wherein the sexual element does not enter, especially in cases where the opportunity to have otherwise arises, or where one might easily assume otherwise. A simple example of platonic relationships is a deep, non-sexual friendship between two heterosexual people of the opposite sexes. I guess this is the accepted notion of “Platonic love” because it’s how Wikipedia describe it, along with the other encyclopedia and dictionary sites. But back when I was in highschool and (perhaps) in college, based on how I understood how other’s understood it through their explanations and use of the word (I hope I didn’t misunderstood them as well as cause some misunderstanding between you and me through this highly uncertain understanding of a, perhaps, misunderstood understanding),…

This post is long overdue. I was planning to post this around three months ago but I was too lazy to have the card scanned and post online. As the saying goes… better late than never

Various gas stations of Shell in Makati City were offering Shell Makati Fuel Savers Club cards. I learned about this went I gassed up at the Shell gas station along Rufino Street in Makati. I chose this particular gas station since I wanted to try out Shell’s new E-10 gasoline. E-10 is 10% Ethanol thus giving your car cleaner emissions and it costs way cheaper than the high octane gas and slightly cheaper than the regular unleaded gas.

There were only two gas stations in Makati back then where E-10 was available; the first one was in Shell EDSA-Buendia and the second one was in Shell Rufino.
