“Mothers give their sons permission to be a prince but the father must show him how…” I am a prince, and my father's the king and it was his birthday yesterday. It was tatay 's 52nd birthday yesterday. Last day also was the first time I greeted him heart-fully and spoken to him the words, I love you and thank you but was not emotional . Yes, I have never been that expressive and open to him since the end of his dictatorship – last year, I received self-declared freedom and signed a mutual treaty with him that both would raise a white flag and surrender our armaments. It was an absolute relief having revived the healthy relationship with him but I am also missing the silent and strategic battle we fought against each other. Funny but that was how we dealt with each other over the past years. He had almost always opposed my ideas and my philosophies never ceased to contrast with his. We seldom meet in the center and agree for one thing –save, maybe food preference....

Yes the picture above is me. This is vanity - the art of loving oneself. I posted this for the reason of introducing my new blog site - Ako si Aethen !

Each night seems to be the longest night of my life not because I am always staying up late at night reading lectures of my professors or doing assignments or finishing a machine problem but because of feeling tired and toxic. Unlike any other day that I had, this feeling inside me keeps on growing each day. Feeling homesick might contribute to this feeling. My not so good work management on things I have to finish might tired me to death. Too much commitment might intoxicate me to feel this way. I told myself that I was strong but I was wrong. I thought that I was superman who can do everything but my alter-ego so powerful to weaken me as human being only. I realized that not all things in life are meant to be. Life is meant to be. I realized that not everything is a piece of cake, sometimes the cake can't be sliced to pieces. I realized all of these but still I am stubborn to believe it. The rebel in me always wanted to fight back. I guess I just have to continue to live my lif...

Did you feel the rush to dress yourself, fail to eat, sacrifice taking bath, etc? Did you experience waking up from bed few minutes before the time of your class? Or worst, few minutes behind schedule for your class plus not counting the time you have to travel from to reach your school but still motivated not to miss the class because you believe that it is better to be late than absent. Well that is too obedient to be for an outstanding school boy like me. I am not “A” tardy student, oversleeping is just my problem. Just like this morning, I rushed to school for the reason that I pulled out myself from bed so early that I would miss the class. I haven’t taken my bath and eaten breakfast yet just to be there before dismissal. Yes, I always want to be present though marked sometimes as late. When I reached our lecture room, I don’t know what and how to feel the situation, should I be happy or sad? Yes, I was late as always in this 10am class; but today is not the same as the o...

I dreamed last night about the day after my graduation. I was not excited about it but scared of answering the question, What's next? But after that dream, I have mixed emotions and been anxious about it. Whatever I feel though, I know He will guide me. I pray that I will be ready and confident to face whatever coming in the next stage of my life.

To hold and have you forever Aethen Though I’ve done so much mischief The foolishness and uncontentment in life All these caused pain in you But still you’ve forgive me with open arms The unconditional love you have given me Banish these feeling of emptiness And on my journey in life you are my star My inspiration and my only one forever With all these, I want to let you know how much you mean to me How much I appreciate your simple ways That makes me feel loved and important When you came into my life You brought much joy and banished all sorrows in me You gave light in all my directions And gave reasons to all my actions You touch my soul without hesitation And allow me to see what’s important You shared to me all your dreams And brought much courage for whatever it seems To live life with you is one of my dream To feel your breath in the morning Gives me the very reason to embrace morning sunshine And to feel the scent of breeze with your caress To walk life with you through ups ...

A Yahoo! Messenger offline message I received from Claire Quintos, the DOST-SEI XII Scholarship staff, answered my financial problem in school. The message says that I am one of the DOST scholars who successfully will receive stipend for the month of June and July. It was just right in time that I badly needed money to pay my tuition for midterm. I was very happy to have been included in the disbursement list of stipends this month. I thought that our stipends will be delayed again because that’s how government institution works today. Although, I received my stipends, I am still disappointed for I don’t have yet my refund for the last school year benefits I should have enjoyed. It was accumulated until this year and had reached to the amount of 52,000.00 pesos. I planned already to where I’ll use the money; part of it will go to my parents, and to my material wants. Anyway, I have to content my self to the stipend I received and besides my parents are still there to support me no matt...

So many have predicted the end of the world. No one has gotten the exact time yet. Because I think it won't happen. A 1704 letter that went on show in Jerusalem on Sunday, says otherwise. Would you believe it? The letter was from the renowned British scientist Sir Isaac Newton, the father of modern physics and astronomy. He predicted that the world would end in 2060. Newton based his prediction on a Biblical text. He studied Alchemy also, the notion that base metals can be turned into gold. Would his intelligence enough to predict the end of our world? Is he accurate in his calculations? I guess the simple cartoon strip above will explain when will be the END of the world, and it's near. Let us not take it seriously to when the World will end. Lets just live our lives at its fullest and enjoy it. Newton has just his predictions. He didn't know the exact date of the conclusion of everything. Believe. It won't happen. Otherwise, silver surfer will have our earth as his ne...
