Family

Yesterday I got to talk to my mom. I love her so much, and I miss her so much that I suddenly felt that I've been growing very far from the family that I so very much love and have been a part of all my life. Just a couple of days ago, I received a comment on my blog from the newest member of the Berris family (my second cousin Jeff's wife, ate Menchee) and I deelply appreciate it.

I have been living with my cousin here in Manila, and I never really felt how lonely it can feel if you're away from you're family for a considerable while. My infrequent visits to Calauan every other weekend don't really feel like a touch of home base because mainly I still work when I get home. And besides, I sleep around more than 12 hours on weekends with the hope of trying to get my biological clock back on track. I'm pretty sure it's not working because well, frankly I'm still up at 2:30 am in the morning due to work. I'm not complainint, but I can't do anything about it just yet.

I'm thankful to my superior, Ms. J, that she has enough confidence in me and my capabilities to allow me to work with mobile-arts even if I'll be in Laguna studying in UPLB. I should show my appreciation more by going to office early and that's precisely what I plan to do in the near future. In short, I don't plan on sleeping just to get to work early. Really early this time, maybe arounf 8 am, I should be logging in already.

Anyhow, later's going to be my last real day at work, and next week I'll be working in Laguna, and meeting clients in Manila only on days when I have free days from my school schedule. And I also plan on finishing the thesis really soon because frankly, I can't let it keep piling up as the time and resources go flying by.

Maybe reporting once in a while to the office and meeting up with friends, but I certainly will have to maintain the contacts in Manila.

It's going to be another transition period for me, and I had (and am still having) fun at this current phase I'm in, and I plan on learning more as life takes me further into time and the future. I just hope other people are also having as much fun as I am.

Help wanted: writing resources

I'm currently fleshing out a fantasy setting for a series of short stories rattling in my head that I'd like to get out into the world. However, it's the first time I'm even trying to do this, so I need your help: are there any good resources for world-building and writing guides that have been helpful in your projects? So far I've been really enamoured by Brandon Sanderson's world building and Patrick Rothfuss' storytelling. I suspect those two are at the pinnacle of the trade and I'm probably not going to do myself any favours by trying to live up to what they're doing, but I'd still like to give it the good college try. Are there any resources (forums, books, guides, blogs, or courses) that I should be taking if I want to do a decent first take at this? This is probably better as an email to friends and maybe some random folks (or maybe even a tweet) but why not a blog as well?

Reconnecting with people

2021 started with a a good sense of connection for me, having spent time with friends and family in a simple celebration of the oncoming year. The transition from 2020 to 2021 and being able to look back at a good part of my recent history got me thinking about how life has been for me and the family for the past decade. There’ve been a lot of people that I’ve met and become friends with while there are those that I’ve left behind and lost touch with. There’s a saying about treating old friends different from new ones, which I do appreciate now that I’m a bit older. It also means that my relationships with people that I get to spend a good amount of time with take a different shape. This reflection has given me some time and space to think about what it means to reconnect with people. Friends are the family we choose ourselves. — Edna Buchman I have the privilege of having life-long friends that I don’t always stay in regular contact with. From my perspective, if I consider you a frien...

Grief and Mourning

I've not been writing for a long time already but this time I can't keep this to myself. There's been too much happening to me and my family the past few days that I need an outlet. I've tried talking it out, being silent, and crying it out. Right now though I'm numb. I don't know whether I can keep this to myself and if I do I don't think it will be a good thing. Maybe other people have had the same experience or at least gone through the same thing. Maybe just the act of writing this out is going to be enough to make me feel something. There was a time in my life that I had thought I've been through everything. I thought everything that can happen to me would be something I can deal with. There was no doubt in my mind that I can handle anything. Unfortunately this latest one that happened to me and my wife wasn't something I was prepared for. Nor was I ready to deal with it in a manner that was controlled or well-thought out. I thought maybe if I...
