Three subjects had undergone a make-over: my blog, our car, and me (myself!).

World of Ideas (Blog)

After a couple of months, I got a bit tired of my old layout so I decided to replace it with a new one. Although this template is new, one element is still retained – the color blue. No, blue is not my favorite color. In fact, I love black more. But for me, the color blue serves a much important value compared to black.

Another change would be the title of my blog. From “Of Being Rob,” it is now “World of Ideas”, although “Journey in Words” is still visible for my Main Page Title.

Why “World of Ideas”?

In Philosophy, World of Ideas is one of the two worlds formulated by Plato. It represents immutable and unchanging forms. And it is discoverable by reason.

Plus, I have added two contents:

• “Site Statistics” will display this site’s rankings and statistics.
• “Subscribe” will provide RSS Feeds, etc.

I’m also working on my Links Page, and other additional contents for my blog.

Early this morning, we went to Dasmarinas, Cavite to have our car checked.The technician fixed the air conditioning system of the car. He also cleaned the filters thoroughly.

We also bought “V7 Perfume Oils”. We chose scent # 6(Watermelon and Citrus”.

Our car also went a refreshing wash, courtesy of Mitsubihi Motors.

I got my hair cut in Ystilo Salon. I have a new hairstyle (faux hawk, I guess), and I like it.

P.S. Leave a comment about the new look of my blog (if you like it or not). Thanks!

P.S. You’re not supposed to laugh; they are not jokes. Happy Wednesday!

Madalas tayong makatanggap ng mga quotes sa ating cell phone, mapa-inspirational o love man ‘yan. Marahil isa ito sa mga dahilan kung bakit binansagan tayong “Texting Capital” ng buong mundo. Kung iisipin mo, ang titulong ito ay maaaring maging papuri o insulto, depende sa pananaw ng taong mag-iisip. Pero hindi iyan ang pokus ng artikulong ito. Nais ko lang maglagay ng isang panimulang kapupulutan ng aral.

Naka-unli ka ba? Kung oo, i-send mo na ang mga quotes na ito:

LOVE QUOTE:

May isang girl na malungkot..

Boy: Alam mo ba, ikaw ang ikalawang pinakamagandang babae na nakilala ko.

Girl: Eh sino ‘yung pang-una?

Boy: Ikaw…pag naka-smile!

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE:

God created all things great, even endings. So if you are currently not feeling good… Cheer up! It’s not yet the END.

JOKE:

Dalawang aso naguusap:

ASO 1: Pare, totoo ba na may rabies ang laway natin at nakakamatay daw?

ASO 2: O eh ano namang problema?

ASO 1: Nalunok ko eh…kinakabahan ako.

Is the song “Hotel California” by the Eagles really satanic? I just got this information from my brother who learned of it on a school seminar. Determined to find the truth, I quickly went to YouTube to search for the backmasked track of the video. There – I listened with disbelief – are really satanic lyrics on the song. I don’t know if this is just a kind of an online deception.

In my own opinion, these songs, as there are many more, are just a product of our imaginations. In fact, we have no clear evidences stating that songs like this or that are satanic in nature. This is only caused by stereotyping. What’s important is to have a strong faith in God and everything will be alright.

P.S. If you want to watch the video, search for it here. I’m not fond of placing internet frauds on my site.

…boring!

I need to find something better to do than just turning my computer on and off. Actually, I need to review for my lessons but I’m not into reading this day. I’m at lost – I really don’t know what to do. Time is runing and my progress is only  walking.

Motto of the day: “All composite things are doomed to extinction. Exert yourself to wakefullness.” (taken from the last words of Siddharta Gautama Buddha)

I first heard this song on my way to my school. The lively upbeat and the content of the lyrics caught my attention instantly. Since that day, I have been on a search for the title of that song. And I finally succeeded today.

The song is entitled “Iiyak na Lang” by a new Filipino band called “Calzada”. I also learned that they also sang the theme song of “Artificial Beauty”. I am looking forward to hear more from this band.

Long live the OPM!

The weather is so cold in the confines of my room. Winds howl, bringing fresh air inside. I prefer this kind of weather because it is conducive for learning. I’ve been into an endless cycle of studying and sleeping this day.

I suddenly remembered a book that I have read these past days. It is entitled “MacArthur” which is written by Bob Ong. The book is about the tragic story of promising youths who got lost in their life’s journey because of drugs. It made me hate drugs more. Ignorance from the effects of drugs may deceive a person, especially the teenagers, into curiosity. This curiosity may be deadly for this will paved way for the consumption of drugs of the an individual. Thus, the sad story begins.

Clouds of thoughts cover my mind completely this day. It seems that I’ll be drowning into the pool of emotions I created. I don’t know what will happen next.

P.S. It’s raining.
