Three in the morning and I am still wide awake, and sick at that. What could be wrong? Either I am too excited about tomorrow’s work? (that means today) or I am too anxious about the pile of work that’s waiting to be done later. Either way, I still can’t sleep.
I haven’t been out for the whole day yesterday and that makes me oozing still with undepleted energy for some more activities. I am not a big patron of nonprescription medicines, so I haven’t taken in anything yet to deal with the fever. Man…I think I am too old for Paracetamol. Besides, I have 2 doses of antiflu in the last 2 years. That makes me more confident that this is nothing serious.
Past midnight, I engaged myself into a movie spree. And guess what I got? Simpsons the Movie! Yeah, I am so outdated, but perhaps laughter can work for me this time. I did laugh, a lot! But I believe that the Simpsons father and son duo are just too mean to their neighbors. Not good examples. But that’s how the series became famous. Well, at least the gurls are there to dilute the meanness. Well, then, be sure you PG your kids when they’re watching the series.

Mukha pa ba akong beite sais? (Do I look like I’m only twenty six?) Definitely I don’t. Stress has definitely added a decade (or even more) to my real age. A fast-paced metropolitan living has amplified toll stress has caused upon me. The next time I knew it, I was already packed up holding my airline ticket en route to Visayas - to some of the places I have never been - Cebu City and Bohol Island. This is my way of coping up with stress. Everybody else might do it in some other way - it can range from dining outside, munching chocolates, shopping (retail therapy), paying psychiatrist a visit, or worst…committing suicide…(please don’t).

Life’s journey is full of crossroads. At some point in our lives, we reach a point where we have to make choices. Choices that will make us who we are in the next few years, if not a lifetime. I’ve been through a crossroad few years ago. I made choices, set my goals…worked for them, I took some risks and suffered the consequences. I lived my life in what I think is best for myself. However, all endeavors proved to be chasing of the wind….Futile!

(originally written on April 02, 2008)
When everything seems to go wrong, SMILE seems to be the last thing in my mind. It’s so frustrating to know that you are like travelling along a road where everyone seems to be driving the opposite direction. Changing the mindset of people around us in the secular world is indeed a hard sell. I never wanted to change anybody overnight, but I am certain that there are certain values that we more or less (should) share. Nonetheless, I am starting to believe otherwise. I still could not figure out why some people are acting in their own ways - which I find deviant…erratic. Or maybe it’s just me.
I used to believe that no matter how difficult some people may seem, there will always be room for goodness in their heart. And no matter how minute that space is…I believed it’s powerful enough to dispel the refuse away.

When was the last time have you used that famous Jerry Maguire line “you complete me” to someone? You’ve done that perhaps once, twice…or countless of times already. Reason can vary from person to person.
Now, when was the last time you ever used that line to something? Yes, something – a thing. I just did…today…to no other than my spectacles. It was pricey but I badly needed to have one. The lens comes in complete with the much-needed features – UV and glare protections plus a not-so-needed photochromic property (i.e., it changes to a dark color when subjected to extreme light from the sun’s rays…often called “transition” lens).

How far have you gone in your life trying to find out what real happiness really means? Is it satisfying your basic needs and that of your loved ones? Is the attainment of the so-called ‘good-life’ the end-all-be-all of things? Is money+fame the ultimate end of everyone? Is spending six decades (or maybe 7) of your life all that there is? Life starts off with 2 years of infancy, 8 years childhood and innocence, 8 years of trial and errors during adolescence, 3 years of life crisis, 4 years (can extend up to eight) of young adulthood marked with experimentations, partying with people called ‘friends’, and difficult struggles towards responsibility, then longggg years of maturity and prime age, and then…a downhill of old age…more often than not marred with agony and sickness and usually bitterness and regrets…and finally a mournful death.

Jollibee Pasong Tamo-PRC Branch
This place makes me feel nostalgic. This was the nearest Jollibee from where I used to live…for almost a couple of years. I guess the store has extended its night operations to beyond midnight. So at 37 past midnight (that’s what the receipt says) I visited the place without any particular food in mind. I ended up ordering spaghetti meal that went along with generously iced pineapple juice. I just needed some carbo and protein to fill up my nearly-ailing tummy. It’s not the food really, but the thought that counts. An insistent South Border tune (Rainbow) is playing through the piped-in music. The song has played repeatedly over and over again…without the crew noticing it. Or they probably want it that way. I couldn’t have noticed that either. But when the lyrics started to grow into me, I noticed that the song is looping endlessly. Perhaps this used to be “kanta ng bayan” is the right music for the mood. Around fifteen long minutes went by. After devouring my meal, taking photos of the place using my cameraphone, and the song finally advancing to the next entry in queue, I decided to leave the place…gave gratitude gestures to the nice security fellow who opened the glass door…and finally took the jeepney back home…and put this memoir into writing…then finally lie into my bed and reminisce how long Sunday it was. Too long…that it has to come to a close at early Monday…at Jollibee store at that.

Hi there again my friend. I can see the gloomy skies reflecting from your eyes. It’s been a while since I saw your childish smile. And it’s been months when things were as simple as ABC and 123.
Cheer up, beyond the vast darkness, the sun still shines amidst the infinite blue skies. Lift your eyes and experience the happiness that our Creator has put in everything – yes, everything that surrounds us. The simple joys of life that are often taken for granted, overlooked. But these are the very things that bring smile to your simple face and bring joy to your gloomy heart…

A bestfriend is someone who can stand for you no matter what….I got mine, and he came with a price. Yes, with a price! Three thousand bucks plus all the upgrades…hmmm…make that 4K. Relatively speaking that’s not too pricey. I’ve seen the likes at 30K or even the price of a sedan. Yes, a car! Brand new. And I got mine at 3K. See…you can have a best friend without spending too much.
Our relationship started since September 2006. Been into rough journeys since then. We’re into several ups and downs…Uphill and down. But we still managed to stick together throughout the years.

I’ve been yearning to have one. Now I can vent out all emotions raging inside me. This is more of self-consumption blog, but who knows it might evolve into something more sociable later on.
So mark this day - APRIL 24, 2008. The birth of chaosandcreations.com. Let’s see what this site will be few months from now. I hope this simple avenue of my emotions will somehow make a difference to those who decide to do more than just wade through the pages for some interesting photos. =) So why such a name? I’d answer that on my succeeding posts.
So…to myself…Welcome to the world of blogging!!!
