A Hero Knows to Drive His Time

My watch, my confidant

I have a peculiar ability that I can sleep anywhere. Whenever and wherever I sleep, most of the time, I dream. May be I was born to be a dreamer, a visionary. This could be the reason that until now I don't stop to try new things as I build my career. One of the major constraints for me in realizing all my goals is time. 

The watch at the left has been my companion since college. Since my mother bought and as I wear it everyday, that TIMEX watch never fails to remind me to utilize time effectively and efficiently as I propel myself to greater heights of my goals in life. Indeed, I graduated on time, earned the corresponding professional title for my course and making a career.

That watch on my wrist may have lost its newness but it still serves its purpose and remains very classy. Every tick alerts me still. Every change of date notifies me still. Most especially,  it helps me to be driven to make use of my time at its best.

When I know I am utilizing effectively and efficiently my time, I feel like a hero. I may have not died for others but knowing that I am using my time wisely in order I can have allot time for myself and for the people I love is something I am very proud. A second that is lost is a time will never be repeated. And to spend time with other people is one most precious gift I can offer. I give something of myself. That's why I feel I am a hero.

It was a music to my year when I came to know the latest TIMEX HERO STORY COLLECTION. Each masterpiece is a work of great minds and industrious hands. Each has its own inspiration of creativity. This collection is where style and technology perfectly meet. Below are the four out of the five watches from the collection.

However, the one that captured my attention and I can really relate myself to is the Timex® Adventure Series™ Linear Indicator Chronograph with Intelligent Quartz™ Technology. Its Linear Indication Chronograph feature  can help me to record the time of a happening of my life with just a push of the button. This feature is important to me because as a dreamer, visionary who wants to accomplish many things in life I must be very time conscious. If I will enjoy the convenience of this feature I can measure productivity. Aside from that, I can wear it on any occasion from the most formal to the most adventurous getaways. I will not be worried if it gets wet because it is water resistant up to 100m.

 

Timex Adventure Series will keep me time-bounded and allow me to have time for everything. To give time for my dreams, ambitions, self and the people I hold dear to my heart makes me feel fulfilled and powerful. With these, I am a hero because I know how to navigate my time.

Today's Music: Love Song for No One by John Mayer

Yes, I am single and hopefully, I won't be anymore.

Staying home alone on a Friday 
Flat on the floor looking back 
On old love 
Or lack thereof 

After all the crushes have faded 
And all my wishful thinking was wrong 
I'm jaded 
I hate it 

I'm tired of being alone 
So hurry up and get here 
So tired of being alone 
So hurry up and get here 

Searching all my days to find you 
Not sure what I'm looking for 
I'll know where 
When I see you 

Until then I'll hide in my bedroom 
Just staying up all night just to write 
A love song 
For no one 

I'm tired of being alone 
So hurry up and get here 
So tired of being alone 
So hurry up and get here 

I could have met you in a sandbox 
I could have passed you on the sidewalk 
Could I have missed my chance and watched you walk away 

I could have met you in a sandbox 
I could have passed you on the sidewalk 
Could I have missed my chance and watched you walk away 

I'm tired of being alone 
So hurry up and get here 
So tired of being alone 
So hurry up and get here 

You'll be so good 
You'll be so good for me 
I know you'll be so good 
For me 
For me

Today's Video: TRIP NI BAI: CARTE BLANCHE 2013

Still having a carte-blanche-hangover. And Yes! The camera caught a glimpse of me. However, Jelly and Mia were the most notable people on this feature for me. Of course, they are my friends.

Thanks to Helen! Without her, we won't be able to have this exposure. This is what you call "CONNECTION".

Carte Blanche 2013: Complete Discretion to Party with a Cause

It was colorful. It was festive. It was carnival.

That was how I was welcomed when I and my friends set foot on the Crocodile Park Grounds last November 16, 2013 for the Carte Blanche 2013 the 1st ever 3D electric music carnival in the Southern Philippines. According to the organizers Manic Nightnings Productions and Party Animal Events Productions, 10,032 party ravers enjoyed the drinks, food and most especially electronic dance, electohouse, house, trance music and the like.

Every raver enjoyed what was offered by the event. You'd never be starved because there were many food booths selling different dishes. One booth offered a LECHON BUWAYA which was added attraction to the event. There were also hotdogs, rice toppings, BBQs, fish and squid balls, and more pinoy/davaoeños favorite street food.

Wet and Wild. 10,033 party ravers went hardcore as the enjoyed every beat of music.

It was not only the sense of taste was satisfied. I was in awe of the outfits/costumes of the ravers. There were giant clowns, drag queens, mardi-gras like dancers, fire dancers and colorful lights and designs. And because the event was in 3D, I tried wearing the glasses and enjoyed the screens.

For a lover of house music, this event melt my heart for the eargasmic experience. I was in total euphoria. It brought out the party animal inside of me and made me roar. Every track played during the event was savored by my ears which made me dance and jump to the beat.

Though gates were started to open around 3:00 pm, I and my friends arrived at the event around 6:00 pm when all the local DJs already finished their sets. I and my friends were just safe to arrive for DJ Callum David's set. When he played a mash up In My Mind of Ivan Gough and Million Voices of Otto Knows, the crowd went wild. That was only around 6:30pm-7:00pm then. From then on, the party never stopped. All the DJs played great music. My personal favorites were the sets of DJ Katsy Lee, Those Damn Nerds and Curse and Bless. The zombettes set was very naughty and it has also appeal to the audience. And of course, Jackbates and DJ Surf brought a Boracay vibe to Davao City when it was their time to make the ravers jump up and down.

When the rain began to pour, all the people present on that very moment never forgot to remember and sympathize to the victims of the recent super typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan. All were shouting "We'll be OKAY". Beneficiary of this event was the Habitat for Humanity Philippines who will also share the proceeds to the victims of the recent calamity.

Yes, there were some minor complaints from the party goers. I also noticed, correct me if I am wrong, nobody from the line up of the DJs played a track from Armin Van Buuren. Forgive me I am just a fan of him =). However, it didn't matter to me because I experienced what I want to get. And I was also with the right companion and crowd who know how to party.

It was epic, legend, surely left a mark and made history. And I'm looking forward to Carte Blanche 2014.

Kudos to you Kat Dalisay!

Today's Music: True Colors by John Legend

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Oh, I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

And the darkness inside you

Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors 

Are beautiful like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,

Don't be unhappy

Can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

Your true colors

Are beautiful like a rainbow

(Can't remember when I last saw you laughing)

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up

Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors

Shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors

True colors are shining through

I see your true colors

And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid to let them show

Your true colors

True colors

Are beautiful like a rainbow

Prayer for the Victims of Super Typhoon Yolanda

Almighty Father,

I believe that you are the source, maker and giver of life. All, tangible and intangible, we enjoy in this planet are coming from you. The simplest up to the most complex things are all works of Your Hand. I know that I am nothing without You.

I am not a perfect follower, disciple and son to You. I am not a saint. I am not perfect. I am a sinner. For being a sinner, I ask your mercy to forgive my imperfections and I’m trying to take up my cross and follow You. There are times I am not faithful to You but You have been always faithful to me and all of us. You are always there ready to accept and forgive.

I know that I am not a good example of a faithful believer but I know You welcome all kinds of people. You do not choose people. Your love is not exclusive but inclusive and embracing all of us. For this reason, You are my best way and all I have to do is ask in prayer.

Father, I pray for the victims of the recent super typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. 

I am not going to make a discussion how Yolanda flourished. I believe that this is the effect of something obnoxious abuse of nature. I am praying for the victims. They are all weak and devastated. They need help.

Every time I see on the media the destruction Yolanda caused, I can’t help to feel so much pain, sadness and shed tears. Photos of the distorted buildings, uprooted trees, displaced posts and mud-covered streets and pathways break my heart.  But what pains me the most is whenever I witness loss of human life and suffering survivor.

Father, I pray for the survivors of this calamity that they will not lose hope. I want them to feel that they are not alone. I hope that they would feel that that there are many people who are willing to extend help. I hope that they may feel the care and concern from all of us who are doing the best way to share what we can. I want them to never give up on the innate goodness of their fellow men. 

Father, I pray for the survivors to keep the faith. To believe that their One mightier than this adversity is what will help them to continue on living. I pray that they could feel that You never deserted them but actually You are with them. You were never gone. I pray that they will find their strength in you.

Father, I pray for the survivors to be safe and to be healed. I want them to find solace in Your arms that there is a place where they can find comfort. I want them to be exempted from more harm that may come. They had enough. Moreover, I pray for those physically and emotionally wounded that they will be healed immediately. I want them that they’ll be able to face the world on a brighter perspective soon.

Father, I pray for those who were killed by the typhoon. Though their bodies here on earth are still mudded and already stinking, I know that their spiritual bodies will reach Your kingdom. They will find their place at Your side.

Father, I also pray for those who are safe to be grateful and generous. I pray that we will not stop helping and praying for the victims. I pray we will be united despite the differences in race, religion and belief.  This is the perfect time to show that love for our fellowmen is above all.

Yes, I am spared from the devastation. Yes, I am safe. Yes, I am able. And a strong yes, I can help. Let this prayer be one of the things I can possibly do. I believe You grant all prayers in the best way You know because Your divine power is stronger than any super typhoon. 

All these and more, I ask through Christ.

Amen.
