This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

Here...
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...
The music plays over and over…
I still remember his words over tears during our Senior High Recollection.
It’s so hayskul I know, but that closeness, love and friendship have been maintained and taken cared of to the amazement of others. We’ve managed to be together here in the big city and now he’s leaving for UAE. He’s now pursuing another dream. Bigger dreams for the future... I hope we can still manage to follow.
As I sit and write this, I still can’t believe a very dear friend of mine is [actually] leaving. He deserves it. He’s waited long enough and now he’ll be reporting kay Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum [friends kami you know, royal blood *hehehe ]. We all have practical reasons on leaving, like I am sick to death of my paid job, and I can’t find another one that I can stand and will give me the health insurance and benefits needed to take care of myself.
My alter ego asked me what I’m going to miss the most. I don’t even know how to answer that question. He’s been a true friend on many aspects and levels. His views in life, discipline and friendship have touched our lives. Being a part of continuing to write that kind of friendship today means more to me than anything. The only thing I can contribute.
It’s a wake up call. Where have you gone lately? Where are you heading? These questions now come in tow. Ka-pressure *he he he. Emman will be having his new car, Rain might leave na din [naholdap the other day], Roan is trying not to struggle at work [sana maregular na siya], Au’s making waves sa buhay ng mga boys and of course still reaching for her dreams, Bitoy does the same, at ako naman is still trying to be stable and praying to be guided on my decision makings. Ahh, well, those are just tips of what’s going on in our barkada’s circle.
Bringing it back to the personal, I have to say that my friends are amazing people. We have the most segregated ideas and views in life at times, but it is the “friendship” that binds us together, it is what solidifies our individuality.
So while we’re all kicking our asses here and working, Somebody’s packing and starting to leave to pursue another challenge and somehow pushes us to target better goals. I know he’ll be carrying all of us with him until he can make it back home. Our dreams are huge parts of who we are and who we wanted to be.
So to you my friend, we’ll be praying success and many balikbayan boxes to come our way.
We’ll miss you!
