notemy friend asked me why my blog had "711" in its URL. it's from an ancient Hebrew Alphabetic Numeration. where each letter corresponds to a certain value. for example, Jesus would equal to "515". and so, taking "Jay" into play, it turned out to become 711. a nice number. hence, it tunred out in the URL.

oh, and if there's one thing i know, it's that Filipinos are one of the most resilient races in the world. the universe, if you will. it'll take a lot more than this to bring down our spirits.
crucifixionGod taught us that love is all about sacrifices. but not just any kind of sacrifice, it's the type that entails one to suffer for the sake that others' feel safe, special, cared for, and of course, loved. it shouldn't want something back in return. it shouldn't be a business deal. "because i love you, i expect you to love me back. i expect you to have a certain level of committment and devotion with me." no.
i guess this i something i have to learn. with regards to my faith in the Lord, to my friends, to courtship, to my family, and to all the aspects of my life.
insignificantexistence, according to science, is around 15 billion years old. and i'm nearly 18. do the math. we might as well not have existed and no one would really notice. it's funny, actually. i finally understand how joel feels about everything. [fyi, joel is the man dwells in the sector of humanity's insignificance in the dimension of the entirety of existence]
