this is just to clarify that the blog entry before this one is not my own. i forgot that i had cross posts activated with my blogger accounts. after two years a friend of mine surfaces and decides to catch up and me telling my friend about this "logbook" site. i already took out the cross posting between these blogs just to keep all the posts where they should be. :-)sorry for any

there was a time when i was happily biking on the streets of dubai.one fine evening, after work, i found it not where i left it.6 months of togetherness. me and my bike. it's time to really say goodbye.and like a pet that died, i'll get a new one or two. soon. let go and move on. secret to life. shhh...

magari avendo un ideale mi ha datto tanta sfida di far crescere il mio standard nella vita. magari veramente, credo che potrei fare una differenza, di creare una utopia nel mondo nel campo dell'urbanismo. alcune giorni fa, c'eranno delle cose che non posso capire al lavoro.certo che tutto quello che credo di fare per creare degli spazi belle non e' possibile di realizzare senza la approvazione

*this is my long overdue Kish Report5 months in the city of superlatives. No fixed source of income yet but the prospects were many. Nonetheless, I was entitled (by force of law) to my second trip to the famous exit island of Kish in Iran.No matter how sad the isle’s stories were, I remembered how peaceful my first exit experience was. This time I wouldn’t be making the same mistake of keeping

Eid Mubarak! (Blessed Festival!)This marks the end of Ramadan and in muslim countries, this signals a very big celebration. (this can be juxtaposed with our Christmas celebration). For us who belong to the private sector, we had 2 days off from work as opposed to a week-long holiday for government employees.I was only thinking of spending the holidays at home studying, which also means spending

It was a full Friday. I thought I could catch up with my bed since I spent little time with it for the past few days, sometimes because of anxiety and other things. But I had filled up my diary for the day since I woke up til the time I closed my eyes.I went to meet with Kaiser and family, it was good to see familiar faces again.

Here in Dubai, in the midst of the desert, you'll always find lots of water features to entertain every single soul, young and the not so young.here is a sample as we were having a trip at the Dubai Marina with the arkiboks. Most of these water features are synchronised with sound, lots of light play and the water effects vary infinitely to amaze you endlessly.You'll be surprised if after this

I went to Kish Island in Iran last Friday because my visa expired already. If the country sounds dangerous, I don't blame you. It is media's fault. But I'll do my share in letting the world know what it is really like.Kish Island is a free zone. Literally anybody can stay there as a tourist without visa for 14 days. As it is, the island became famous for the "exodus" of visa run individuals

Sentivo una tal solitudine in questo giorni. Sapevo. Reso conto. Pero non volevo amarLo subito. Subito Però! Con Gesù in mezzo si riesce. "Come?", mi chiedi...Anche Lui ha sentito da solo. Pero dov'è sta adesso? Cosí lo seguo...Cosí la vita mia.Che felicità. Amore vero. Semplice.adDio.

When I was a kid, I had a pillow named Tambuchi. I loved it very much. It was as big as me then. It had pretty cool colors and a very nice pattern. It had a very dark brown pillowcase. I could never sleep without it. I used to do something with the corner ends of Tambuchi with my thumb nail that would eventually make me sleep. I still do now! hahaha...When I started attending school, Tambuchi

Mga kababayan ko. Bukas na magsisimula ang ika-dalawampung pagdiriwang ng Pandaigdigang Araw ng mga Kabataan sa Köln, Germany.Sayang. Kung ako sana ay pinagpala ng magandang hanapbuhay na makakapagimpok para sa kinabukasan at makapagipon ng sapat, kasama ko sana ang mga kabataang yaon sa pagdiriwang na ito.Gayumpaman, ako ay masaya sapagkat kahit sa munting paraan ay nakapag-ambag ako sa

sono arrivato nel mondo, nel blog, poi la canzone.Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time On a live wire right up off the street You and I should meet Junebug skipping like a stone With the headlights pointed at the dawn We were sure we’d never see an end to it all And I don’t even care to shake these zipper blues And we don’t know Just where our bones will rest To dust I guess Forgotten

A couple of months ago, in a city far far away like Tagaytay, there was a garage sale. I went in with my bike and I find myself digging in a box full of books. It was a bit of a contrast to what I mentioned before about important things. I was (and still am) in the middle of reading two books (see sidebar) and there I was rummaging through that wonderful box full of books. I asked the owner (now

Lately i've been on to more important things. I hardly touch the two books that i'm "currently" reading. It is not that I don't have time to read but I just felt that the books wouldn't really entertain me and my soul as of the moment. They seem so alien to me. I guess things that are material really don't matter in this life.So what are these important things? People and their souls. I'm

My blog was a bit silent for the past couple of weeks because of many things. Mostly due to the load that I have at work and after work. (I also try to have a life after work, you know :p) I felt compelled to write something about the late Pope and what he represents for me. At least this I do to pay tribute to him. May he rest in peace. After all, while he was still living, he really had a

This blog has been silent for 2 weeks already. It isn't that I have nothing to say but there really just isn't much time to sit down and blog. I was tasked to finish a construction set last week for a "structure". I have been working on it ALONE for the past couple of months. I wasn't allowed to work beyond 8 hours then. But two weeks ago, things started to pile up and time was like platinum
