Though like life the tofu is soft and light but can be a burden when consume more than what the body can take. A blog with soft and light anecdotes, thoughts and stories and like tofu can be tasteless though nutritious in our inner most.tokwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09875141342976710629noreply@blogger.comBlogger311100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764079.post-69218629437040665152011-04-21T11:26:00.006+08:002011-04-21T12:13:31.205+08:00

(It feels like another soda in the pantry that taste awful but got to drink it anyway to satisfy the desiccation without consuming a portable drinking water. That may not make a lot of sense but given reflection; one will come to wonder what will. Or just think of our pantry and how soda are prepared either excessively sweet or terribly lacking with it. But sugar is bad. But not to Jboy. The

For a few seconds I had a good laugh while staring at my computer.I suddenly thought of startling cognitive ability of my son to visualize things or situations as if they are REAL. One time when his mum had just came home from work. Enzo would offer both his hands to her. Then my wife curiously looked at what is Enzo appeared to be offering or trying to show with his hands. Then Enzo would say “

It was Wednesday morning, as usual; I got up from bed first. Took some few minutes in the shower. Put on my office clothes which I prepare in the evening before going to bed. Went inside our bedroom and gently woke up my wife to let her know that it’s her turn. We usually do this in a very skillful silence to avoid our 2 yrs old son from waking up. Or else hell will break loose.On the train while

Dear Tokwa,What the hell am I doing in the office? When most of the people I know are at home enjoying the non-working holiday, slouching at their bed, watching TV, going out to the malls, or simply just spending time with their family . Oh well, I’ll make it up with my wife and my son in the weekends, perhaps go out of town in Tagaytay maybe. Coz my folks were planning for this trip and of

I just got my Chuck DVD this morning from my former co-employee. I am now so excited to watch it over the weekend. That is if Enzo will let me touch the TV for a couple of hours. I see my self watching Chuck during unholy hours.More than a year ago few of us (former officemates) got hooked with Chuck. Then after so many unexpected plans, moving from one place to far flung distance, and I getting

It's been a while since my last post in this blog. And so many things had happen to me. One of which is moving to a new company. And I have numerous friends who have been asking for the copy of my farewell letter to the former co-employees I left behind. Here is how it went dated on 18 Oct 2008: To: xxx Subject: Good bye too Hi Everyone, Before leaving this wonderful office, I would like to

And yeah our unplanned valentine's date dinner in CYMA was romantic and a blast because the food was really great and spending time with each other is priceless, just like what the mastercard Ad is saying.

How convincing can I be?Since I exaggeratedly talked about a movie I watched one weekend to my officemates called 'Across the Universe'. Many have insist on borrowing the DVD from me. Which I gladly shared with them. The movie which my wife absolutely hated, not only because of the dragging story, also the fact that she is not a fan of musical plays moreso to those that were put into film. The

For the next couple of years these will be the last 'almost complete' photos I will have with my cousins from my Dad's side, atleast for those who still decide to stay here in the country. The barangay Obias known for barraging birthday parties (only when invited) because of our sheer number and good appetite, will be down by 2 again.

In about seven months my wife and I will be expecting a new member of our new family. We felt really really happy when her OB confirmed that she is indeed pregnant. As you can see in the photo below: It's positive ( two lines means positive in the pregnancu kit she is holding )For the past weeks since that very day, my wife and I kept on saying to each other that it would not matter wether the

It’s mid-June 2006…whew time do really ticks a bit too fast nowadays. I remember on this same period back in 1985 I was just 6 then and was experiencing a nightmare on my first day of school. It’s a long story though and I don’t want to drag that point of my life after 20 years. C’mon gimme a break! I am already 26 years old, single, and work like a carabao in the other business district of

Wow! Its been a year... and a great year it was. I don't want to say that its happier, nor bigger, nor better...it's just that a year well lived, with so much suspense, heart pounding events, that made me realized that the heaven is still on my side.From now on I promised to be active with this blog, and fill this with photo shots which has become a hobby and that of my brother.

Whew! it has been a while since I posted my last blog. I don't know why? Maybe because there aren't so many interesting topics or happening in my life lately where I can draw the mood to write. Well... in the past few weeks I was able to watch spiderman 2, also, spent time watching DVDs of movies I missed to see and there were a lot of them actually. And I still have a lot more to watch this

Since High School I am fond of pet fishes. I remember back then when my classmates and I would spent hours in Cartimar in Pasay City, of course after class, strolling and looking for new fishes to add to our already over populated aquariums. Sometimes, we just go there to buy  fishfoods, but we can’t help to wander around and fascinate the various breed of fishes. The whole circle of friends of

Here I am again staring at the computer for more than half an hour now, and still I don't know what topic to write about. In this cold and quiet office, sitting in my work station the whole morning, beside are my boss' plants and a troll doll left by the staff whose post I fill temporarily. Outside, looking from a huge window glass in my right, I see the rain continue to pour as strong winds gush

Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on… Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven?

This has been a long week for me, though the kind of long week I would prefer. First of all, for the whole week my bosses weren’t around to pass on some workloads. The good thing working for an international organization such as where I am at right now, bosses tend to extend their work in several points of the world. Now I am also getting this blog boring by explaining my office. Anyway, when

Also, this week has a hell of a weather, one morning the sun is up so on my way to office I leave my umbrella at home, then by the time I go home it rained hard. To make the matters worst, I see myself on a tight competition with all other passengers waiting along Edsa Ortigas. It’s like a race on who to get home early, by getting on a bus first on route to southbound. It’s an every man for

One method I do in invigorating the soul and the mind is through conversing with the Heaven, prayers, in short word and deep contemplation. I spent the weekend trying to reflect on my life and on the surrounding it revolves. I try to do this at least once a month visiting St. Clare of Assisi Monastery in Katipunan, Q.C. That place has a different calm where in few hours I find peace and inner

Has anyone in the blog world have not talked about the Brad Pitt movie? Well at least most of the blog sites I visited have mentioned something about Troy. And I don't want to brag anymore this supposed to be epic movie. So I'll make this swift, it's an okay movie; perhaps I may have put so much expectation to it that it failed to reach the classy movie I thought it would be. Though I’ll be

Last night while the moons' light was at its most vivid...in the hour when silence was deafening and while everyone else was in the middle of their sleep...I was awaken of unimaginable pain. The pain that grips my head in full strength, it sore like something was trying take my eyes out of the socket...I can breath but barely can I move myself. An inch of a motion, the pain pound more...

I had a great weekend, I stayed in a five star hotel for an overnight. The hotel is located in the heart of Manila, facing the very beautiful Manila Bay. I had a great dinner in a Spanish inspired restaurant in Intramuros, Manila. Stuffed myself with all kinds of food, from seafood, to meat, to fruits, to veggies to whatever served n the buffet. I must have gained 10 lbs. in a matter of 59

I know it's too late to say something about the Mel Gibson film that depicts the few remaining hours of life of Jesus. But I just cannot pass on this one, it’s the talk of the town, and for many years to come. In my perspective the actors did a good job portraying their roles, it was pretty much realistic most especially with the use of the Aramaic language. Mel Gibson, took a lot of guts
