Sometimes the sky is more beautiful when you view it from the ground.

I can write my own 'Series of Unfortunate Events' this very moment, but I guess I'll pass. August left me gasping for air. I thought that it couldn't possibly get worse in September but I was dead wrong. To top all my misfortunes off, I lost my phone and hard-earned cash to a snatcher last night.

Now I'm surviving on change from my dirty pants' pockets and small bills I keep here and there.

But also during these misfortunes I learn who are willing to go out of their way to help. People I thought can never help me/I'm afraid to ask help from, are those who actually reached out. Usually I am the one who comes running with a basketful of goodies, but this time I have to admit my defeat and let a little sunshine in from other people's lives.

Nanay, you are my hero now and foerver. Dad, thanks for helping me believe that there's still good in people, that I should not lose hope in humanity.

Guye and Ponx, my younger siblings, thank you for the help. Babawi ako, promise.

Lemon, my little munster, thanks for reminding Mum that I lose only the less important things in life.

The Happy Geeks, thanks for the sympathy. It feels great to have friends. You're the one possession they can never take away from me. I'm so sorry that I have been absent lately, and I guess I'll be invisible for a little longer. I'll see you in October.

Friends, thank you for your virtual hugs. One of these days I'll collect them my self.

Guys please continue praying for me. I need all the positive energy I can get. My own negativity is starting to ruin my life for me. I guess I am what I feel indeed.

2008 is about to end. I guess this would be my most interesting year so far.
