If we want to change our country, we must start first within ourselves. 

I'm very proud to know this guy, a fellow classmate in highschool and a brother in a catholic religous group when we were in highschool. I thought he was to become a priest but I guess only time can tell. I just wish I have some of his big talent in writing

I have copied this from wikipilipinas( philippine encyclopedia).

 In behalf of our batcmate, We are very Proud of  you brother! You have gone a long way.. Keep it up bro!

as the writing on the walls of our classroom says: "becoming what we are a children of God" . 

After a long period absent, Thank God I'm back . I just bought a new personal computer to replaced my old one...It took  me some time to save ang bought a new one anyway, I'm here and it's good to be backkkkk.

So, What's up? 

At times I feel it is a waste of time and gasoline driving all the way up/down the street only to make a U-turn...but I just thought that..I do need to make a U-Turn once in a while. I need to slow down at some point in my journey and go back to where I came from, Retracing my steps and remembering what's my goal in life.

Make a U-turn...
