For the longest time that I haven't written in my blog, it may be a bit saddening to finally start an entry again just to end it. No, I am not saying goodbye to blogging but I am taking new heights to writing. On Monday, it will count a month since the time we transferred to a better place to live in -- one which is conducive to writing and where we are greeted by the heavenly skies every morning.

This place is one of God's mightiest rewards to us. And if only I can retell the story of how all these came to be, miraculously, I would be more than willing to do so, to inspire everybody else that nothing is impossible.

I am writing on a new blog, packed with more nuggets of wisdom to share and more mushiness to fall all cheesy for over and over again.

In short, I am breaking new grounds.

There are some things only God can understand...

And hence, He created these two.

More than Skin Deep

It was just recently that I realized the deeper representation of a simple rubber band.

I learned it from a 7 year old kid.

That it's more than just a toy that you can form into the traditional shape of a star that you transform into during your most idle moments.

It's a symbol of prosperity too.

Pio: Tita Auj, sa'yo na lang to.
Auj: Para san to?
Pio: Pantali mo sa pera mo.

As a sign of gratefulness, I will gladly share to him my millions in the very near future.
