   Ciao Mr. Jim, Just finish reading your article and it just breaks my heart that all of the things that you wrote is quite true, ufortunately. Maybe that’s the reason why God gave us talents to share, and intelligence to spread. Yes, I am one of those desperate people who joined the PDA Season 2 Audition (Cebu) for the reason of minimizing our financial burden. However, I only managed to be on the Top 20, but life does’nt end their. You need to struggle for survival, that is what life is about.

   By the way, I’m Ricky de la Cruz, from Dumaguete City and my dad is your number one fan…Lolz! If you have time, try to check my blog: http://finlust.blogspot.com/

   Hey Ricky,

   PDA is not the only way to achieve your dreams. I had my share of rejections when I was starting, and even when I had a career going. Hang in here and show that your dream is powerful enough to alter reality.

   Princess–As I always say, JUST DO IT!

   Kenjebz–thanks

Pain in the Feet

Just last night, I started practicing badminton as my career in my senior year in College. I was a badminton varsity during my Elementary and High School years (2nd year). However, I stopped when I stepped on the Portals of Silliman University to pursue my College degree. Because of that, my physique was not toned for the past 3 years already...wow! So just Imagine how 'matakaw I am'. Anyhow, about last night, I was relax during the first 30 minutes because we were only sitting and laughing, but after that enjoying moment, we started to jog around the SU Gym, up the stairs, go down, and up again...for 2 hours. I suddenly felt 2 kilos of rice patched in both feet. I can't hardly jog, it was like in a 'Nighthood' (if you know what I mean) were everybody keeps doing something in one part of your body. it was definitely a burden, but I was determined and finished all drills till the end. Whooo!

Just woke up and boy it was so heavy. Every step I make is like a punch on my legs...grrr! I feel like falling..hahaha! but I still had fun..Till then, I'l just take a shower...peace out.
