Continental Drift Theory

abraham ortelius and alfred wegener propounded this theory that continents fit like a puzzle and that they were once integrated. upheavals and ruptures on the earth's surface caused the land mass to separate and drift to their present locations. the earth's lithosphere, divided into tectonic plates, move across the ocean and sea floors. some disappear on the earth's mantle by subduction while new oceanic crust emerge through seafloor spreading.

no, i'm not trying to be all-national-geographic here. it's just that i find solace in thinking that someday, when tectonic plates will move once more, my family and i might end up in the same continent again.

Love Rules according to the Great Ramon Bautista

1. kung gusto mo, karirin mo

2. kung ayaw sayo, wag mo ipilit. ang salitang pakipot ay nag aapply lang sa mga pogi na manliligaw

3. bata ka pa, may mahahanap ka pang iba

4. kung panget ka at bobo, di ka talaga makaka let go kasi alam mo na wala nang magkakagusto sayo. o kaya bobo ka lang kaya di mo naiisip na may iba pa jan

5. yung LDR (long distance relationship) nagwowork lang sa mga sine at sa mga mag aasawang may pamilya

6. wag bigyan ng ibig sabihin ang mga signs na gusto ka ng lalake/babae hanggat di sya nag iilove you at maski pag nag ily yun, di pa credible yun sa mga panahon ngayon so it's a never ending process of patunay and non-patunay

7. fall in love at your own risk

QUESTION: What do you do when you feel you're not good enough? :)

RAMON BAUTISTA: if there is time, i try to improve myself so i can be closer to being good enough. if not, i just do my thing and hope for the best. however, thinking of others who do worse than me - but are more cocky and self-assured is an effective source of confidence. i, thank you.

ang kwento ng batang kumakain ng dahon

may isang bata na sobrang awang awa na sa sarili nya. sa sobrang gutom at hirap, naisipan nyang umakyat ng puno at kainin na lang ang mga berdeng dahon nito. umiiyak at nagse-self pity sya habang kinakain ang mga dahon nang may narinig syang kaluskos sa ilalim ng puno. noong tiningnan nya, nakita nya ang isang batang lumpo na kinakain ang mga tuyong dahon sa lupa.

last night, my friend jaycob called me up and told me this story. he even advised me to go to church. i replied, "ba't mo naman nasabi na hindi ako nagsisimba?" he said that if i were, i would see things in a different light. he also told me that i had to continue for people around me. i said, "sa tingin mo i'm doing this for them? i'm doing this for myself. and besides, sabi ng mommy ko i can take a timeout and organize myself." he said any parent would say those things and my mom was just trying to be a parent. he said even if i'm doing it for myself, the people around me can't help but think that they are also part of it.

he's not a lawyer or a law student, but i think he can be a good one.

happy birthday

...to my lifetime crush, ely buendia.

when i was 13 years old, you were already 23. at sabi ng mommy ko, wag yan kase malamang nagda-drugs yan at hindi matino ang lalake na kumakanta ng songs na may words na "tangina" at "tanga."

now, 40 doesn't sound too old. and yeah, there may have been close calls, but the drugs seemed to do you good.

so how about another year?!
