“How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of
the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the
seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a
tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit
in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he
does, he prospers”. – Psalms 1:1-3

Okay. So I had this lengthy commentary on Genesis 1:1-2 and now it’s lost! Thanks MSN Spaces.

A contrast is being made here on what a) to avoid and b) what to focus on. A piece of wisdom from Proverbs – sometimes we want to be good at something but we’re not willing to put in the time and “deliberate effort”. So according to this, we can be fruitful if: a) we avoid the counsel of wicked people b) stand in the path of sinners (probably means you agree with them in silence?) and c) join those who scoff. But that’s the avoidance part. The investment part of doing is in meditating on God’s word everyday – this should result in the fruitfulness in our life.

Since I got my Asus eee work successfully with my SE K608i, I’ve been blogging from it. And I want to share you the steps. Read more…

I would’ve made another video for my first post in 2008. I would’ve recorded you an original song and serenaded you with my oh-so-mad-awesome-singing-voice-that-would-make-even-Mariah-Carey-cry. I would’ve taken naked photos of myself, perhaps posing next to a Chinese vase to jumpstart this year. But no, I didn’t. Instead, I brought you lists of my random top 5’s with the thought that it’s about time you guys get to know me beyond my usual crap.

If until now, you’re still reading this blog, then I congratulate you and offer you my famous yema. Half the time, I know I don’t make sense and to tolerate that much torture, you must be an awesome person. No, really. I’d make out with you if you were sitting beside me now. ^_~;;

The following are my top picks for whatever category they may be under. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone, actually: they are recommendations and at the same time a reflection of my fucked up mind that I so much enjoy flaunting to the world.

Dear Tita Cory, Senators, Congressmen, Businessmen, Media people, Leftists, and all Bleeding Hearts Out There:

I am angry. And I know that there are many out there who are angrier than I am for the same reason. And that reason is simple. I am sick and tired of all you guys claiming to speak for me and many Filipinos. I feel like screaming every time you mouth words about fighting for my freedom and my rights, when you obviously are just thinking about yours. You tell me that the essence of democracy is providing every citizen the right to speak his or her mind and make his or her own informed judgments, but you yourselves do not respect my silence and the choices I and many others have made. In other words, your concept of democracy is limited to having your rights and your freedoms respected, at the expense of ours. (more…)

Most dictionaries define the verb drive as “to guide, to control, or to direct.” Whether you are driving a car, a nail, or a golf ball, you are guiding, controlling, and directing it at that moment.
