Hooray I'm back! My last entry was October 2008. Karlo keeps pestering me at facebook and so I do not feel any privacy there. >.>
While doing work here at Optimus - the school where I'm sort of the Multimedia person (I used to teach computer classes here when my school load was not too heavy), my dad ym-ed me.

Sorry sa mga nakabasa na sa facebook. It's not that I feel so proud of being there. It's just that despite the age gap I have compared to my college batchmates, I feel so blessed to be actually older than them and have experienced this. Brought back a sense of nationality gone because there are just too many "loud noises" in UP that the easier way is just to tune out - hence, tuning out everything too.
I love my Dad for bringing me to Edsa. He knew that even though I did not understand it then nor did it had an impact on me - it will someday. And that someday is today.
cory,
papa
