When-dding Plans

There comes a time in one's life (yeah, even for uglier people than us) wherein you must decide on leaving the single life and moving on to bigger things (perhaps the biggest understatement of our lives) called Marriage. Marriage. Defined by me based on my friends' marriages as a thing two people enter...

Time, Treasures and Tolerance

My motto for 2010--Time, Treasures and Tolerance. The Three T's were shared to me by my brother, Mike, in one of our drinking/sharing sessions at our cousin Quito's house over the holiday break. I'm glad I listened. With just three words, I think I'm going to be a better person this year! Thopefully....

My New Year’s Resolutions

Defined as "the process of solving a problem," resolution cannot be done if we do not determine what the problem is first. Here are some of the problems that I want to resolve: 1. The Fourth Commandment. I admit, I am not the most respectful guy to my parents. My mom's probably right when she says...

Christmas and Quarterlife Crisis

They said Jesus died when he was 31 years old. I'm 31 years old now. I don't want to die yet and I don't think I've done the things Jesus had done. Actually, I haven't even achieved half of what He did. And I don't think I would be able to even if I get to live to 2,000 years old. Hey, I'm no Jesus Christ. And...

What does Manny Pacquiao and Tiger Woods have in common with us?

They are two of the greatest athletes of our time. They are probably the most talented players from their respective sports. One is good-looking. The other is not. Haha, kidding. Well, who cares about their looks, right?! Woods can probably pay off our country’s debt. Pacquiao, on the otherhand, can...

What is Pinoy Quarterlife Crisis?

Exactly what is a quarterlife crisis?

Well, how old do you expect to live? How old is the midlife crisis usually? Well, it was pegged at 50 years old a few decades ago when there weren’t too many factories emitting smoke, less drunk drivers, lower prices of fuel and not too many people were killing themselves (and others) just to rid them of problems in life (many EDSA billboards had been witness to this). Okay, so with my God Giveth and the Lord taketh away mathematical prowess, I assume that quarterlife crisis occurs when you’re around 23 years old until you’re around 30 (at least mine did). It’s the time you wake up on your birthday (or one somebody else’s bed) and question yourself–what have I done with my life?

Yeah, what have you done with your life? Or better yet, what are you capable of doing with your life? In those 20 or so years, what have you contributed to this world (or to make you feel a little better, in our country, your family or to your future at least). Or would you even have a future or just contribute to your early demise?
