Shades of Inspiration

"On a long journey of human life, faith is the best companions; it is the best refreshment on the journey; and it is the greatest property."

-Gotama Buddha-

Son of the Night (Hijo de Noche)

From flesh to flesh
You got what you want
The unwavering satisfaction is high
You endures the test of time

Creating your own world
To adore you and worship your body
The carnal desires you enjoy
A price someday you will regret

Your soul is not for sale
This is God’s gift for you to take care
A soul that is meant to be pure
Not for everybody’s to treasure

The finest of the night is yours
Because you make others happy
In return for a big sum of money
That gives you the power to carry

You are called the Son of the Night
You trade your innocent soul in the dark
You justify your means, and believing it to be right
As if there’s no end to the bright side of life

Have you ever realize the transgression?
That you had desecrated in the eyes of our Creator
The decision is yours to change
Repent, take the chance to embrace the goodness of life

Mother's Day

The Miracle of Life nurtured by a woman who gave us love and sacrifice . . . . is our MOTHER.

-Joel Barquez-

It's Mother's Day. A special day for the greatest woman on earth. A very special gift from God. This morning I was able to call and greet my dearest and lovely "nanay", wishing her good health. My mother is a perfect woman of piety, symbol of love, and sacrifice. Although we are miles away, my love for her is growing strong everyday, missing her so much. She is my inspiration and the wind beneath my wings. I really thank God for his greatest gift to us .... a woman called MOTHER.

My New Sony Mini HI-FI Component System

Just bought my new Sony Mini HI-FI Component System a few days ago. The whole system is superb, specially the direct radiation subwoofer. The sound is worth the price. I enjoy playing all available CD's I have in my collection rack. The system can play any DVD video mode, VR mode, audio CD, video CD, or any data CD format containing MP3 audio tracks, JPEG image files or DivX video files. Aside from these features, a multi port for walkman phones and other portable devices is included. There is also a USB port for USB device which can play MP3 audio tracks only.

To sum it all, the Mini Hi-Fi system features 3 Disc DVD changer, Karaoke Function, MP3/JPEG playback, USB Function and Digital Media Port, a 7,900W power output.

Now I'm enjoying watching my DVD collections. Two thumbs up!

The Great Manny Pacquiao

I was never been a fan of Manny Pacquiao (although he is a national pride of our country). Nor do I seldom watch a boxing game at my own will, unless someone will persuade me (I despised seeing blood coming out of the boxers face and the punches they hurled to each other, it makes me puke). Until my officemates convinced me to watch the fight of Manny Pacquiao with Ricky Hatton this morning at the Internet room, I now became a fan of Pacman as what they called him. Suddenly, my doubt was erased as I was amazed and stunned how Pacman demolished and destroyed the current IBO light welterweight champion in just 2 rounds with an amazing and deadly left hook that took the Englishmen flattened on the ring and was hospitalized.

It was indeed a glorious moment for every single Filipino watching Manny Pacquiao winning this match. I myself cannot explain this enormous pride. For me, Manny symbolizes greatness in his sport, greater than Muhammad Ali as what Bob Arun emphasized. He is the greatest boxer alive, pound for pound, no doubt! Congratulations Manny, you really makes us proud as a Filipino. From now on, I will be one of your legion and million fans around the world. The greatness in you will forever be recorded in the history of sports. You are "The Great Manny Pacquiao".
