ZOEI BIANCA AVATARA

Posted by joelavatari in Real Living, Relationships on October 11th, 2009

Born October 10, 2009. People are calling our Baby Zoei, ten-ten because of her birth date. She was only 35 weeks and 5 days but she couldn’t wait to go out and meet the real world.

As a borderline premature baby, she was only 2.29 kg when she came out. She also made her mom labor for 14 hours and deliver normally. Something we both thought she could never do. Read the rest of this entry »

FUCK YOU ONDOY!

Posted by joelavatari in Real Living on September 27th, 2009

Imagine a month’s worth or rain fell in just six hours in Metro Manila yesterday causing horrific and apocalyptic floods we have never seen. Some would even say the amount of precipitation brought by Ondoy exceeded Katrina’s. Read the rest of this entry »

RANTS, MOVE ALONG, NOTHING TO SEE HERE

Posted by joelavatari in Real Living on August 31st, 2009

I feel like I’ve been neglecting this blog of mine for the longest time now. I haven’t been consistent with updates; at least not as much as I want to though everyone knows I have the time. You can blame it on my new toy or my lack of skills if you want.
Last night, I received a mail from go daddy asking me if I wanted to renew. With three more months before my domain expires, they gave me a sweet deal just so I can renew. I paused before pressing confirm. I didn’t know if I wanted to continue given that next year will be a circus with the baby coming and everything.
If I do succumb to the pressures of life, I wouldn’t be the first. Hopping from one blog to the next, I find myself rather lonely. Most of my friends aren’t updating their blogs anymore. Is this a sign that micro blogging is really now more convenient, or are we at the point in our lives where life is beginning to be too much already?
You know what? I don’t think I should let life take over just yet.
After much thought, I clicked confirm and renewed my domain for another year. I just have to promise myself that after the baby, the wife, the future work *crosses fingers*, and the photography *crosses other fingers* that I will still have the time to write articles (silly, retarded, personal – whatev) once in a while.

CORY AQUINO 1933-2009

Posted by joelavatari in Real Living on August 5th, 2009

Filipinos are now orphaned, but I guess it’s just a reminder that it is now our time to do our part. So for the last time, thank you Tita Cory, mother of democracy. May you be happy with Ninoy in heaven. Read the rest of this entry »

OH HAI DAR 10LBS?! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?

Posted by joelavatari in Real Living, Retardery on July 23rd, 2009

I quit!

I quit trying to get fit. For the life of me, how can I gain so much weight in so little time eating only twice a day while walking four kilometres a day and while doing all the chores and releasing that much energy. Read the rest of this entry »

GUESS WHAT WE GOT AFTER A CHECK UP

Posted by joelavatari in Musings, Real Living on July 22nd, 2009

Time out from all the retardery after I read this yesterday.

You know why we’re a fail whale of a country?! Well, because it took us a law from 1986 to regulate this, spent two years in congress to ban it, private conservatives made noises against it and a lot of funding and wasted money to spread the word. Read the rest of this entry »
