"The Big BUM?"

Have you ever tried being an official BUM?
Putting the question aside, I guess you have a clear idea where this leads up to! As what you can see, my life is a bit laid back as of the moment. In every event of our life we need to take a step back and try looking at the big picture ahead of us. We need to reassure ourselves that we are still human and needs the time to recharge our batteries inorder to enjoy ourselves better. Pardon me for my self-indulgence, pero wala lang talaga akong magawa ngayon!
Bakit kaya ako binibigyan ng ganitong pagkakataon? Ito ba ay paraan para ihanda ang aking sarili para sa isang malupit at matinding pagsulong sa darating na panahon? I'd never thought that being a bum would help me reflect on the things that I've been doing in my life. Is this the reason why people are afraid of retiring, being a BUM for the rest of their life? It makes no sense just being in a house without a single thing to do! Is this also a reason why we put people in jail, to also make them a BUM? So what difference do I make? Am I one and the same with them? These are the things that I've been thinking of, walang sense noh! Kaya BUM ang ginamit ko eh!

HOUSE HUSBAND!

Being a man, have you ever imagined becoming a house-husband?

Well in fact, since I'm in a weeks vacation before starting with my new job, I've finally decided giving it a try, since I don't have any other things to do. This could be a rare opportunity for me to perfect this God-given talent of mine of humbling myself in service for my loving wife whose very much busy with her career life, as of the moment.


I've started my day, by washing our clothes today. Thank God that one of our godparents in our wedding was kind and thoughful enough to give us this very useful household equipment. Good thing though is that I'm a Mechanical Engineer and I've masterfully managed to wash our clothes in the most bubbly and water-efficient way! It was fun, but at the same time spiritually cleansing. During my younger years, I'm very much fond of being in the water (since I'm a swimming varsity member!) and I've always come to appriciate the good effects of water therapy. But don't imagine that I put myself inside of the washtub. One thing that made me sick is that our drainage is still clogged-up due to unknown foreign objects stuck in our piping system (this is my reason for sighting the water therapy thing!), I've good reason to believe that this substance could be the doing of my wife's unimaginable amount of falling hair, hmmmm.....tsk..tsk...tsk... Which makes me wonder how strong her hair could be. Still, she has a lot installed up in her petite-cuty face (mwah!). Anyways, I managed to float around while doing my thing.

After this, I still don't know what to do at the moment. Maybe I could give my baby old car an oil change or start mopping up the kitchen floor. But whatever I do today, call me your house husband at the moment for I'am extremely proud to be one right now!

" Impossible is nothing! " Oh yeah! Try cleaning your house!

Back with a Vengence!!!

Pardon me for my long absence in the blogging world for I have been too busy trying to think of a way on how to steal Manny Pacquiao's title belt & Uma's undying fashion statement, the headband!
Anyways, kidding aside! Still remember my last blog entitled: The Power of Dreams? Well, as to some of you who didn't know, I'm leaving Honda this May of 2006 and have been fortunate to find a new job as a Service Manager for this company called: Boeing Material Handling Corporation.
For the past 5 years of working in Honda, I've been truly blessed of having the fulfillment of realizing my dreams, capabilities and ambition. Honda is not just an automotive company on its own, but a family who have nurtured me as an individual. I owe a depth of gratitude to this company and forever will I be thankful for giving me this opportunity. The company, the brand, the product and most specially, the people whom I've worked with will always be a part of me.
Moving on, as I've said, I'm now given this rare opportunity of climbing the corporate ladder! I still don't know of what's ahead of me, but an optimistic person like me is already very much excited to face the challenges that will be thrown at me. All I can say is that I'm ready, so bring it on !
My situation right now is that I'm really happy. I hate to brag about it, but 2006 is truly a remarkable year for me. A new life, a new wife (ooppss, sorry dates!), a new home, a new job and hopefully a new car :) Together with this brings joy and excitement into my fun-filled life. All I'm waiting for is my wife's turn to find her new joy, which is a new job. I'm sure God will grant her this. God is good, and so is my wife, definitely God will hear our prayers. But right now, let's all continue enjoying life at its fullest. There's no better way to do this than now, so let's all be merry and appreciate the blessings our Almighty Father has endowed upon us. Chow and God bless.
