Vengeance Returns with Retribution and Redemption

Monday, July 8, 2019

Vengeance Series is finally on my desk, and I decided to revise and edit this story at last. After 3 years, I think, I have now the courage to continue the series. So help me God. 

It is a three-part series. Vengeance revolves around the lives of Cleo and Ikeda and some other vital characters in the story. More or less, it talks about the end of the world, of the human race because of their sins. The sinful nature of man is too much for the heavenly creatures. The Father as the creator of all things will reboot and destroy the ways of the sinners. 

I assume I am not giving away much of the story by blogging my writing journey here as I continue the Vengeance Series. Below are the themes/titles of the three-part series:

1. The Awakening (already published and available on Amazon.com)


2. The Retribution (on going on Wattpad.com)


3. The Redemption (soon...)

I look forward to posting my progress here on my blog.

Ciao!

To God be the glory!

Laguna de Bay: The Good Old Days

Saturday, June 29, 2019

Laguna de Bay
en.wikipedia.org

The Philippines is a tropical country, and the summer season is now hitting the country. So, prep your summer outfit and sunnies and gear up to hit the beach.

Wait, forget what I said.

We're not hitting the beach.

Instead, let's talk about our very own sanctuary of the creatures under the sea, the Laguna de Bay.

Laguna Lake was once a source of clean water for the people from the three barangays in the first district. Caingin, Aplaya, and Sinalhan were located beside the lake and the settlers of the said barangays mostly relied on the lake as its source of food and incoming. They used it for their living, but sadly they never returned the favor.

When I was just a kid, my mom used to tell me how clear the water in Laguna lake, they often used it to wash their clothes and took a bath during the summer season.

Sabado de Gloria was a holiday I always looked forward to along with my cousins all for the reason that it was also our chance to go swimming and enjoy the water without paying any fees. The water in the lake was already polluted during those days, but Sabado de Gloria was a day of a miracle for us. The muddy water became lighter and we could see the stones and dead shells. It was a simple delight we always indulge ourselves in.

Then, something happened.

I saw a yellow submarine.

That day, I stepped out of the water and I stopped going to the lake for a swim since then.

It was poop. For the lake's sake! It was a fresh yellow poop, about three inches long probably.

And as I grew older, the water condition got worse. I had hopes that may be, just maybe the water would turn clear during Holy Week, but it didn't.

I never got a chance to dip my foot in the lake since my encounter with Mr. Yellow Submarine, and I just had this thought that I might visit the lake one of these days. You might want to check out Laguna lake too, and an idea might pop out to save or at least minimize the destruction of Laguna de Bay. Wasn't that a bit hopeful for such a hopeless bay? I think not.

Wednesday, June 19, 2019

(Drum roll, please) 

My new book is out, and you can get it for free.

And hey! It's been a while. I'll try to update this blog from now on. You'll see more postings here, in God's will.

Things happen in life, and it gets out of control. Everything is uncertain. 

I decided to publish this book, #ifoundYOU, hoping that in some way it can help you or anyone. 


And here it is! Book cover-reveal of #ifoundyou, it is simple and black. 😉 This poetry collection is basically about finding the one, searching until you find nothing, feeling lost and like something is missing, moving forward in spite of being broken, fixing and picking up yourself, and all other things that drag you down because of that empty space in your heart. 

Happiest book birthday! #ifoundYOU ebook is live. Click the link and download your eBook or pdf copy for free.

“The Game of Twenty Questions” by Elizabeth Galit

Charlemagne Villegas hasn’t gotten over her breakup with Dave. But it has been three years since the breakup happened. Everybody (maybe except for her) has moved on. And so there’s nothing wrong with going to the beach with Dave and their old friends, right?

But what if Charlie discovers otherwise? What if like her, someone else hasn’t gotten over what happened three years ago? Would it be another heartache? Or a second once-in-a-lifetime chance?

Here's Beth G.'s Playlist. 

Beth said:
I just recently updated my playlist, and that's after almost fifteen years! I don't know if it improved, but then, most people do not understand my taste in music. The thing is when it sounds good and the words are relatable, then it's good for me. So here are the songs I've been listening to these days. 

1. Mula Sa Buwan album. The songs in this heartbreaking musical invaded my heart like no other. I wasn't into this kind of music until I learned that Ultimate Crush likes it so much! LOL! Kidding aside, though, the songs ultimately sum up everything I feel inside, especially Ikaw and Tinig sa Dilim. 

2. Korean Drama OSTs. My Love From Another Star (Kim Soo Hyun is ❤) and Legend of the Blue Sea OSTs are great. I mean, I know I have to Google the romanized version of the lyrics so I know what it means, but the melodies are just... superb! 

3. Backstreet Boys songs. Some things never change, and once a BSB fan, always a BSB fan. :-)
