During a visit to Museo Dabawenyo last year, this piece of art caught my attention. It's a multimedia work by a local artist portraying the three major groups living in Davao City, also representative of the people of Mindanao: the Muslims, the Christians, and the lumads or indigenous peoples. The artwork highlights the differences in beliefs, culture, and lifestyle of the three groups. It is the aspiration of every Davaeoño, every Mindanaoan that these three groups will live in peace together, cooperating to uplift and develop our land of promise... Mindanao. This is Mindanao, a melting pot of cultures, of peoples from different places, of different beliefs, of various lifestyles. It is our hope that we will, together, fulfill the promise, enrich our people, uplift the lives of our fellow Mindanaoans, and cultivate our islands riches. With each other's strengths, respecting and accepting our differences and living with each other harmoniously, we will live the dream, fulfill the promise. Padayon Mindanao! #Mindanao :)

Because of One Message
I lost my reason to smile today. I have been waiting for this moment, this chance. But it won't happen. I am helpless, and I don't know why I even bothered. There will be other chances, other moments... I hope.

I Miss My Boys
I was chatting with Bbboy the other night, and today I found some photos of my and my high school classmates on Facebook, and I realize that I miss them so much. We will be having our 10 year reunion this year, and I am excited. Before I had my Sequel boys, BoyzTrek boys, DotA boys, poker buddies, Bes, and exes turned bestfriends, I had Tiani and Joey, Neil, Bbboy, Patrick and JJ, and the rest of my high school Tech stream classmates. Though we haven't seen each other in a while, and they probably don't know what the hell I am doing right now, I'm sure that they will always, and I mean always, be there for me. Anytime I need somebody to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, or just a drinking buddy, I'm sure I can count on them to be there. If only most of them still lived in Davao. And yes, I miss the girls too... Mimi, Kim, Ronnie, and Rhoda. They're not really girls though. Like me, they were raised and toughened by being around guys too much. These guys have seen the best (I think) and worst of me, the mood swings,…
I Love Taylor Swift
Aside from the reason that Taylor Swift sang "You Belong With Me," I love her because of this... LOL! She is such a good sport. And she fell really hard... wearing those high stiletto boots thingers. That was totally something that Kuya Andrew would do. And he vowed he'd do that to me one day. :-& Belated Happy Halloween!!! :)
