As the title implies, I miss this moment… Building sentences, formulating grammars and having the problem of what to write.
What would I write, well let me start, I’ve been in the wildest rollercoaster of my life this past few months. This whole month was really an unthinkable shift of the tectonic plates of my foundation; I can’t believe I would survive this. Really…
First is my job, yes it’s true. I’m not teaching now, should I say I decided to stop teaching. Well, there were different reasons why I stopped teaching. Maybe some of you who know me would say that it is because of the chaotic environment of my institution, other would speculate that I will choose other schools that offer a greener pastures and some would really think up of morbid scenarios on you naughty minds.
But in reality those reasons partly help in reaching to my decision to leave the institution that had been a part of me for 7 years. Partly, but I will tell you the main reason of why I stopped; yes stop not quit, teaching. My real plan was to serve AMA for 2 years and then work in a programming company, but one normal day, I had this chance. Once in a lifetime chance to become somebody who I was once been dreaming of. With this opportunity, I didn’t let the chance slipped off my hands. I grabbed it and tried very hard to become very good at it.
Right now, I’m working as a web developer creating websites for foreign companies and I’m really enjoying my job. I’m learning. I can’t really believe that this past few weeks I’ve accumulated a certain amount of knowledge that could last a year. Exag?? Think about it..

The Sunrise
November 7,2009
What is the difference of the sunrise today compared to the previous days of the sun rising?
It’s the first time in my entire life that I’ve looked the rise of the sun with a different view. I was self meditating and lecturing myself about life while I was jogging in the new government center when it hits me. The feeling of elation that suddenly rushes down in my conscious being was really amazing that when I look at the sun, I thought I saw the infamous light at the end of the tunnel.
At that moment I looked life in a different way. I now appreciate life, seems so easy to say but way to difficult to comprehend and to do too. I now notice I’m living a great life. Working in a job I dreamed of, loving the job and getting paid for a work that I love to do and most especially loving the woman I loved the most.
Those are blessings, graces and I can’t believe I’ve never seen it before. I really can’t ask for more. It really pays off when you will allow yourself to look at yourself in a general perspective. Self-meditate really has been a big part of my life during doubtful times, it allows me to understand the problems, create solutions and even expand my mind to make those problems into challenges that I need to overcome.
So for now, I just need to focus on my job, because after all I love programming. Give all my best, focus concentrate and be the best in the field that I chose. I must have the confidence and the desire to truly learn. Extend my base knowledge.
There is hope. There is a future that awaits me.
Life is so great and amazing that I want to live it.
Live your life.

Bo Sanchez.. Loving the Perfection of Your Imperfection
Let me end with one of my favorite stories.
One day, a wife came to her husband with a magazine in her hand, “Darling, this article is wonderful. It describes a little activity that we can both do to improve our marriage. Can we do it together?”
“Sure,” her husband said.
“It says here that for one day, each of us will separately write a list of what areas we want the other to change. Little annoyances, little irritations, etc. And then tomorrow, we share this list to each other. Deal?”
“Deal!” the husband smiled.
That day, the man sat on the living room with paper and hand. The wife went to the bedroom and did the same thing.
The next day, over breakfast, the wife said, “Game? Can I start first?”
“Yes,” the husband said.
The wife pulled out three pages. Single spaced. Font 8. It was a long list. She began to read her list. “Darling, I don’t like it when you do this…” On and on, she read the little ways her husbands annoyed her.
The man felt a sting in his heart. The wife noticed this and asked, “Do you want me to continue?”
“I can handle it. Go on,” the man said.
So the wife continued to read.
Finally, the woman said, “Okay, it’s your turn.”
The husband pulled out his piece of paper and said, “Yesterday, I asked the question what are the changes I want in you. But hard as I tried to think, I couldn’t think of one thing.” He then showed to her the empty piece of paper in his hand. “Because to me, you’re perfect in your imperfections. I’ve accepted who you are—strengths and weaknesses. And I love the whole package. I love the mix. You are a wonderful person and I love you so much.”
The wife began to sob, rolled up her three pages in her hand, and beat her husband on the head, “Bwiset ka!” And hugged him tight for a very long time.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez

Annabel Lee
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
