I found out yesterday afternoon that a good friend of mine has passed away. I was in shock. Jay, better known as Bounce to our circle of friends, passed away due to complications brought about by his kidney transplant. I still can’t believe it. To some degree, it hasn’t sunk in yet. I have [...]

Vertigo
Posted by carambs on February 19th, 2008
According to Wikipedia, Vertigo is … a major symptom of a balance disorder. It is the sensation of spinning or swaying while the body is stationary with respect to the earth or surroundings.

After going to Shoe Salon, Jovan and I bought a gift for Mika from Toy Town. While waiting for the gift to be wrapped, I went to Beauty Bar. I used to visit Beauty Bar a lot, but after realizing tat I’ve wasted so much beauty stuff, I made a conscious decision to stop going [...]
Tags: Flipflops!
Posted by carambs on November 30th, 2007
I think I have an addiction to flip-flops. I don’t think it’s full-blown, but it’s an addiction nontheless. I’ve heard of people owning more than 20 pairs of Havaianas – I haven’t reached that point but I’m well on my way. Well, I’m not really fond of Havaianas. I only have 2 pairs, because I [...]
Nerd?
Posted by carambs on October 3rd, 2007
I’m currently downloading podcasts and updating my iPod. Today, I realized again that what my friends say about me is true – I’m a nerd! I have several space stuff subscriptions! The first time I realized my friends were correct was when I was talking to them about what I search for in YouTube. NASA [...]
6 Weird Things About Me
Posted by carambs on July 14th, 2007
I was tagged by Kookie so here goes: 1) Every time someone calls me while I’m at my workstation, I open a new Free Cell game, which I usually finish by the end of the conversation. All my officemates have noticed this. 2) I’m not a cyclist (can’t call myself one even if I started [...]

I’ve been having a bad week. I am truly grateful for friends who ask me what’s wrong, friends who want to find out what’s happening because they care. I can’t believe the others though – saying all these things without even knowing what’s really going on, not asking and attempting to find out. Sad about [...]
Making the World a Better Place; Support Cancer Warriors today!
Posted by carambs on April 23rd, 2007
I’m not like some of my friends who have really dedicated their lives to make the world a better place. I have some friends who joined the JVP (Jesuit Volunteers Philippines) – they actually spent a year of their lives in far-flung areas. I have friends who consciously chose NGOs over money-making corporations. I may [...]
Gratitude
Posted by carambs on April 15th, 2007
I’ve been thinking about how to blog about this topic because I don’t want to sound overly dramatic. Thing is, there’s no other way to explain it. Basically, my life changed two weeks ago. I found out about “The Secret” through a good friend. I borrowed the audio CD from our company lawyer and listened [...]
