A line from the song that struck me… :’)
And I will sing and shout where your light leads me on, Lord. Sing and scream like no on’es watching. PSALM 95 in every beats, chords, notes, and harmony on this world. Rock on!
![“He [God] will set them off with communications of His presence which, though faint, seem great to them, with emotional sweetness, and easy conquest over temptation. But He never allows this state of affairs to last long. Sooner or later He withdraws, if not in fact, at least from their conscious experience, all those supports and incentives. He leaves the creature to stand up on its own legs; to carry out from the will alone duties which have lost all relish. It is during such periods, much more than during the peak periods, that it is growing into the sort of creature He wants it to be. Hence the prayers offered in the state of dryness are those which please Him best.”
- The Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis
One of the best books everrrr! :) :) :) <insert-C.S-Lewis-Fan-Here>](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxu9furuj91r3n53jo1_1280.png)

PHOTOGRAPHY: JOSHMALDITO (C)
I easily get attached. Oh well…
Just a bunch of photos I took with only a simple Digital Camera last February of 2011. These are the photos that features the beautiful people living their lives 24/7. Some of these are behind the scenes and stills from the documentary that I made of the same date. Looking back with these photos, I realised that the journey in between what you once were and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.
These are the beautiful people on a busy street.
PLACE: Zamboanga City, Philippines

Hear my great friend again, Twina covered the song, “Getting Over You” by Juris Fernandez. If you have great eyes (or ears), I previously posted her cover of Eraserhead’s, “Huwag Mo Nang Itanong” in which you could also listen here. This is a great song for those people who can’t move on, or still on the process of, you know, trying to move on under some dark and painful circumstances. But don’t feel blue, because this song is for you - to comfort you on where you are with your emotions right now. But whatever it is, enjoy this raw, soothing cover from my friend, Twina.
If you’re in Zamboanga City, you could catch her with her gigs, one is I guess every Saturday @ Pasonance near the Butterfly Garden. (Wow, I’m promoting.)
BECAUSE YOLO!
People always think that the most painful thing is losing the one you love in your life. The truth is, the most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, forgetting that you are special too.
I have nothing left to lose and I’m living the life the way I wanted it to be. Life must go on.
//STRONGER.

So starting from now on, my blog will contain something that I called “Writings Of Entanglement” and they will be numbered 1,2,3… according to what part they are in. This part is just about some random musings, what-happened-today, some valuable fragments of nonsense things, hefty stories, and almost out of the blue kind of post. It’s more of a close-to-the-heart writings from me, more personal, and diary-ic. So here’s the first part.
* * *
Today, I took some time to feel the “battle studies” going in on my head. I woke up and went to the bathroom to clean myself. It was very much weird since in my entire life trying to be hygienic as I could, I spent almost an hour in the bathroom with my 30-hour old white underwear doing nothing. I was just leaning on the wall while trying to calm the uncontrollable warfare in my mind that’s going in and out like series of random flashbacks that I can’t even remember. It was very weird. I guess, I was problematizing too much regarding to the issues of my brother going to college with me (but he had chickenpox right now that’s why I have to stay away from him), my dad discussing about finance, money and all that, me being bummed and burned out this summer, my relationships with so many things, the tiring talks about CJ Corona, things to write and stuff to do, that feeling when you knew summer is over and an impending new heavy semester will start this June, and almost everything. I don’t know, but these thoughts really sickens me to the point that I really wanted to just sleep and don’t woke up. Forever. But while I was drinking coffee in the balcony with the heavy rain and storm coming in, some sort of a “quote of the moment” whispered in the freezing rain. Everything then made sense to me. At this age, everything is changing. Day by day we don’t notice, but just look back over the past year and you will realize everything has. People you thought were going to be there forever aren’t, and people you never imagined you’d be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and the more we grow the less sense it will make. So make the most of now, before it all changes once again, because in the near future, all of this is only going to be memories.A sense of relief rushed over me as I chewed on the idea of “change” and I know, deep in me, I have to do something. So while writing this, a song from John’s latest album “Born and Raised” trying to juxtaposed on what I feel. The song says, “Alive in the age of worry. Smile in the age of worry. Go wild in the age of worry.And say worry, why should I care?” Yeah. Why should I care anyway? Life is too short to worry about those things and as I always put it, life is not just about me…and it’s not about now.
So to conclude these “worry” going on… I just cut my hair, very very short.
