humbling song

I really 'heard' this song months ago, when i was commuting to go to work. Yes, I've listened to it a number of times before but i didn't really understand what the song is all about.

Now, I finally understand it and i am humbled. It reminds me of God's Love for us, of how truly great and unconditional it is. Despite the weaknesses and imperfections that we have, it does not diminish that Love, not a bit...




A really beautiful song, i hope it touches your heart as well.

Inday

How is Inday these days?


Amo: Inday, may pulubi sa gate, paalisin mo nga!

Inday: Right away!

Inday to Beggar: Hey you putrid-smelling beggar with the diverse ambiance of scented junk that assails everybody's nostrils and poisons everyone's fresh and carbon-free lungs, please go away now!

Beggar: What? Who do you think you are? You pathetic trying hard nanny! How could you, a social climbing and very low grade mammal, underestimate a high-class beggar like me? The hell with you!

Inday: Nakakasakit ka na ah! Mam oh ayaw umalis!

=D


Inday: Hi guys! I'm flying off to London next week. I'll be there for quite a while or if permitted i'll be staying there for good na. Sorry if i didn't tell you earlier. I told myself not to tell until before i leave. Thanks for the friendship, i hope to see you all again and i'll certainly miss you all! Farewell! (text ni Inday sa mga kaibigang katulong bago mag-yaya sa UK...)

So fitting...

Here's another song, this time from Natasha Bedingfield. It's a song that just fits what i sometimes feel these days...



...hopeful... =)

E-book or Paperback?

I, or rather, my sister collects books (fiction, self-help) and i always get excited whenever i buy a new one to add to the collection that we already have. I just don't buy that often because these books are not really cheap and of course i have my priorities. Very rarely do i find the authors i like on books that are on sale.

One day, as i was surfing online, i found a website that was advertising the TWILIGHT series in e-book form. I got very interested because i was really looking for the books and couldn't find cheaper versions of it.

So, to make the long story short, i was able to get the e-books for a price way cheaper than what the actual books are worth. Now, i actually have more e-books on file than paperbacks. This doesn't mean though that i don't appreciate a good old paperback anymore. It's just that electronic books have become more convenient and more affordable for me.

If you want a list of the e-books that i have, feel free to e-mail me (rubidoogs@gmail.com) and i'll even share them to you (for a very cheap fee, of course...i didn't get them for free, you know, hehe=D).

White Horse

Here's a song from Taylor Swift which made me think about how we sometimes get disillusioned when we are hurt by a person we've learned to care deeply about...






















Don't we all want our happy endings? =)

36 days

It is now exactly 36 days since i last punched in and out of work. Thirty six days of rest and relaxation (read: thirty six days of being unemployed), can't say I'm complaining, nope, no complaints there...

I was so restless the first few days, so eager to find work and take on the next job, the next assignment. After a while, the feeling of urgency wears out and i find myself getting used to just lazing around all day and not always thinking about the work i have to do. Is it bad for a person, too much procrastination? I hope not, haha...


I spend much of my day surfing the net and so one day, as i was going home from yet another disappointing job fair, i had this idea of getting a sideline. I thought to myself, since i spend so much time online, why don't I make it an opportunity to earn money? My sister planted the idea in my head months ago, i just didn't think of it that much because i was still busy working and enjoying everything i had (my job, my friends etc...). Now that i don't have anything to occupy my time with, I'm giving it serious consideration.

One reason for creating this blog is for me to be able to advertise my skill/s to future clients. You see, I signed up for this website where i can take on different kinds of online jobs and earn money (take note: US dollars) if the client is satisfied with my work. I haven't really started applying for these online jobs because I'm still building up my resume and advertising my skill/s through this blog and in other ways.

I'm being optimistic here, so I really hope this turns out great. Wish me luck! =)

Is that even a word?

oDesk Certified  Professional
What word?

greye...I don't really know if it's written in the dictionary... i don't think it is. Some of my friends have asked me what the word means, or if it has any meaning at all because i keep using it. It's just a word i made up a long time ago, back when i was still in high school. It's actually a combination of the letters of my crushes' names. I liked how the word sounded ('grey' with a silent 'e' at the end) and so i decided to keep using it. That's the story, nothing special really..=)

Anyway, this maintaining a blog site is something new to me. Yes, I've written a few things on my friendster blog page but those were really short posts. Some of those are not even original, but copied texts from wherever i happened to read them (text messages, personality assessment etcetera). I usually have a lot of thoughts in my head but rarely do i feel the urge to write them down on a journal. This will be my first attempt to become a 'serious' blogger (serious, meaning i get to write more blogs than i normally do).

I don't really have a trend or pattern for the entries that i will be posting on this site. Whatever I feel like posting, i will post. May it be original content, lyrics to a song, an article about flossing one's teeth, as long as i like it, I'll post it here. Bear with me, please. =)

Feel free to leave a comment! Let me know what you think about what i wrote, that would be great. =)
