Shiawase ni narou.

The writer loves to circumnavigate the world alone. He loves going to out-of-the-way places and see extraordinary sceneries. He always brings his camera and its charger. He loves towers, bridges, trees and animals, Oh, he hates animals that can kill. He is a social animal. He loves speaking to people. He loves meeting cultures and traditions.


He is a self-confessed anthropologist and socio-political communicator. He dreams of having an overnight stay at Angkor Wat in Cambodia. He was born in Brunei Darussalam but never learned how to speak Malay. He is currently studying Nihonggo through his brother’s old modules.


He has two important blog sites, a private Facebook account and a semi-private Twitter account. He is a proud alumnus of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) College of Mass Communication. He has a bunch of friends and he writes them in his notebook. He loves books, coffee and yogurt. He buys three notebooks a week with no purpose.


He was a sports writer for a national newspaper. He also contributes his stories to another national newspaper and hoping to be the editor-in-chief of his own newspaper. He is now working as a web writer in a web development and 3D animation company but he prefers to be called a digital media journalist. It sounds better.

Learning real lessons from real people

I had a chance to have a worthy conversation with Bernard, who is now my friend. He is really an eye-catcher with good looks and intimidating posture. But he almost killed himself three years ago thinking that he's useless. His girlfriend left him and his family once neglected him. He believed that living started to crash him part by part. But he found God. He met a pastor who introduced him to Christ. Yes, he knew Christ before but he never allowed Him to fully control his heart. But everything abruptly changed. He learned to live again, to offer his life to Jesus, to appreciate the people around him and to keep going on. He is blind but he is sure enough his life has now a purpose.

"Jesus is in my heart and He speaks to me."
-Bernard
