overdue

i didn't realize that it has REALLY been a while since i last blogged. not that i'm a blog addict, but i do make it a habit to post once in a while about stuff - mundane and other whatnots.

i'm so out of it that i can't even remember my passwords at some email accounts. (that's when you get whe you auto-log your password then have your pc reformatted)

work has kept me busy lately; and i just seem to have a knack for finding work that can stress one out most of the time. maybe it's because i have been accustomed to a fast-paced environment, given my past job experience. not that i'm complaining, but it honestly tends to test my patience, but on the whole, i'm good. i'm enjoying what i'm doing.

and besides, i still have the weekend to spend time with my carlo, my friends and family. i wouldn't want to compromise that.

everything's peachy. :)

happy fiesta

365 days

despite everything, one thing remains...



we are indeed a fairy tale waiting to happen :) (thanks aj for that line!)



happy anniversary!!!

making a stand

spent saturday afternoon watching mtv's documentary on aids and safe sex: this is not a commercial (sponsored by stayingalive.org)

and i find myself a bit envious because of the fact that countries like the US, UK, Russia, China, South Africa, Zimbabwe, France, and Brazil are consciously taking a step towards sex education as well as aids consciousness via awareness campaigns.

my country is not spared from that phenomenon, but what are we doing about that?

despite the national financial crisis, and the controversial presidency, we are at a moral crossroad: sex is STILL taboo amongst most Filipinos and the Catholic Church frowns upon it, saying that sexual promiscuity is an act of immorality. yet, despite these threats there are cases of unwanted pregnancy due to inadequate education and a recent survey concluded that 13-19 year old girls engage in sexual activities; it may not be a surprise but what's alarming is that the same age group is not aware of any safe sex precautions. now that isn't cool.

yes, sex maybe taboo, but are we willing to compromise sex education with an impending population boom due to accidental pregnancies?

something has to be done. immediately.
