			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think I want to delete my account in Facebook! I just shared a porn video to some of my friends without my knowledge! And to think that I rarely open my account and they&#8217;re not even my close friends and they just added me because we were classmates in grade school high school college or we met somewhere in the past but we barely know each other and I was just being polite so I accepted their friend request and now I just shared a humiliating thing on their wall and so now you can just imagine how humiliated I am. What the eff! This is so embarrassing <img src='http://www.sterndal.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  There is no option to have the video removed. I&#8217;m going nuts! How do I fix this? Somebody help me. Please.</p>
<p>Edit:</p>
<p>Hahaha! I couldn&#8217;t stop laughing. J told me it&#8217;s my fault. I clicked on the link! So, it only shows that I am interested in porn sites. Yay!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.sterndal.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/2044564.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2346 alignleft" title="Who's your favorite YuYu Hakusho character?" src="http://www.sterndal.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/2044564-266x300.jpg" alt="" width="266" height="300" /></a>In my country, YuYu Hakusho is known as Ghost Fighters but I think the correct English translation is Poltergeist Report.</p>
<p>Okay, I know this Japanese anime is practically old, about 16 or 18 years, but for me it&#8217;s one of the best anime series in history. Better than Flame of Recca and Card Captor Sakura.</p>
<p>Who&#8217;s your favorite YYH character?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a fan of Eugene (Yusuke) but I also like Vincent (Hiei). I am drawn to Vincent&#8217;s sarcastic and elusive personality and his tragic past has always intrigued me.</p>
<p>I also like that he&#8217;s very protective of his sister, Mikaela (Yukina). They are actually twins but he is a fire demon while she is an ice maiden.</p>
<p>They are born in Koorime, a floating country made of ice. It is an all-female society where women are strictly forbidden to marry a man. Every 100 years, they give birth to a girl. Always a daughter, never a son.</p>
<p>When the twin was born, they thought Vincent would bring curse and destruction to the community. So he was taken away from his mother and was thrown off a cliff to die. But before that, his mother told him to be strong and come back to kill the ice maidens.</p>
<p>The infant managed to survive the cold winter. He was adopted by thieves where he grew up with a thirst for revenge. In his adult years, he came back to Koorime and learned that his mother committed suicide and that his twin sister left to search for him.</p>
<p>On that day, he had a change of heart. He realized that killing the women of Koorime is nonsense. The ice maidens are emotionless. Their hearts are as cold as ice. It&#8217;s like ice is circulating their veins instead of blood. For Vincent, they are as good as dead.</p>
<p>I want him to tell Mikaela that he is the long lost brother that she&#8217;s been looking for. But he never revealed his identity. Instead, he advised her to stop waiting around for a brother who might be dead.</p>
<p>Apparently, when Vincent was searching for Mikaela, he asked Sigure to implant a third eye on his forehead. The price which Sigure asked is that Vincent should hold his tongue about his true relationship with Mikaela. That was their agreement.</p>
<p>I eagerly waited for the final episode just so I could find out if Vincent&#8217;s going to tell the truth but I was slightly disappointed. He remained faithful to his character. Aloof and anti-social with a different sense of &#8220;code of honor.&#8221;</p>
<p>The author did not clarify if Mikaela knows the truth. However, this was her response: &#8220;<em>I guess, that is the sort of advice a girl might get from her brother.</em>&#8221; So, you be the judge if she knows or not <img src='http://www.sterndal.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have tons of things to do but I don&#8217;t know where to start. Instead, I&#8217;ve been playing Bejeweled 3 the entire day and probably this whole night.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m supposed to be on water therapy for this day but I just don&#8217;t have enough self-discipline for that. Instead, I drank iced tea, two glasses of milo, a glass of artificial orange juice, and two glasses of water.</p>
<p>I promised I won&#8217;t read blogs today but I couldn&#8217;t help it. I blog hopped and realized I am actually following blogs of aspiring lawyers. One from San Beda and the other from UP <img src='http://www.sterndal.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I think both universities are known for high quality education so expect these bloggers to be called &#8220;attorney&#8221; years from now.</p>
<p>I want to get rid of this unbearable pain as quick as possible. I think the medicines have eased the pain dramatically but I&#8217;m not sure if I want to continue taking them. The taste, I can&#8217;t stand it. The smell makes me want to puke.</p>
<p>My soon to be ex-friend is forcing me again to look for a witch for her. Even if I&#8217;ve already explained that I don&#8217;t want to get involved in any kind of demonic activity, she&#8217;s still using the &#8220;I&#8217;m-gonna-die-if-you-don&#8217;t-help-me&#8221; tactic. Quite frankly, I&#8217;m so pissed. Of course, I told her but she seems not to understand.</p>
<p>When I become your friend, I can be your dog because the loyalty that I offer is like that of a dog to its owner. But religion will draw the line. You see, between friendship and my religious beliefs, the latter is more important to me. I feel no compassion for those who are willing to use satan just so they can have revenge. That&#8217;s crazy. And yeah, satanic.</p>
<p>This is sterndal, the sinner, blogging. Hehehe.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m lost. I have less than 12 hours. To live? No. To finish this freaking thing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After watching the movie, Soul Surfer, I am inspired to reach for my dreams more than ever. If <a href="http://bethanyhamilton.com/">Bethany Hamilton</a> can set the world on fire, I can too. But I don&#8217;t want to set the world on fire, literally and figuratively. I don&#8217;t want to be famous. I just want to make a living by doing what I love to do, which is writing, and have a comfortable life. I want to author a book. I want to be the next Gilda Olvidado &#8211; one of the best Filipino novelists. Well, I am not saying that I am as talented as Ms. Olvidado, my gulay! she&#8217;s the bestest of the best! She is the writer behind novels that became blockbuster movies in Philippine cinema:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sinasamba kita</li>
<li>Babangon ako at dudurugin kita</li>
<li>Kung mahahawi man ang ulap</li>
<li>Magkano ang iyong dangal?</li>
<li>Pinulot ka lang sa lupa</li>
<li>Ina, kasusuklaman ba kita?</li>
<li>Saan nagtatago ang pag-ibig</li>
</ol>
<p>All I&#8217;m saying is that I want to be like her.  So, yeah. I&#8217;m bragging again. That is why I always tell in my blog entries that whatever you read in my blogs, don&#8217;t believe it. Haha! It&#8217;s just me, nagging and writing my thoughts. In truth, I&#8217;m not confident. <a href="http://www.blogfullife.com/2010/09/26/a-writer-without-a-craft/">I read somewhere that bloggers should not call themselves writers because that would be an insult to those who studied years to become a writer</a>. But Gilda Olvidado did not finish college and yet she is the best Filipino writer ever. Her works are classic. So, I&#8217;m thinking that people who set rules and standards suck <img src='http://www.sterndal.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  You don&#8217;t need a diploma in creative writing from UP Diliman to become a writer. Writing is innate, a passion. You don&#8217;t learn it. You must be born with it. <em>JOKE!</em>. Maybe Gilda Olvidado is exceptionally talented. But because I&#8217;m not at all talented, I will definitely need some training from a prestigious university to master the art of writing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a blogging dilemma and it all started with a very intelligent comment from an accidental visitor.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em>Hey….I just read your blog while surfing the net, it is good to know that there are talented Filipinos working their ass on the online world. I am a writer too, I understand that we all have our own ways of expressing what we feel and sharing our experiences. However, no offense, I just find you kind of “bragging” than sharing your stories. I hope on your next blogs, you rather “share” your experiences to motivate other people who are interested in writing. Just a piece of advice, it would be better to share your talent in the right way by being a catalyst of inspiration to those who have talent same as yours but were not blessed to have the same opportunities. See you in odesk….who knows, we might be on the same team.</em></span></p>
<p>The problem? I realized that I am an irresponsible blogger. When I blog, I only think about myself. Although I try not to offend other people, I also don&#8217;t intend to serve as an inspiration. I can&#8217;t possibly inspire others. I&#8217;m not successful and if anything, I&#8217;m just a struggling freelancer. I can&#8217;t even call myself a writer cuz that would be an insult to those who studied years to become a professional writer. Anyway, when I first read the comment, I wanted to laugh. After writing about my insecurities and failures and bad experiences, people think I&#8217;m bragging.  So, I&#8217;m bragging. But I read again that <a href="http://www.sterndal.com/2011/04/24/my-recent-activities-in-odesk/">post</a> and realized that I really sounded like &#8220;bragging.&#8221; Suddenly, I am embarrassed. Suddenly, I felt the urge to just terminate my blogs and just stop blogging. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I am not in any way offended by that comment. On the contrary, I think that it&#8217;s what they call &#8220;constructive criticism.&#8221; It&#8217;s just that suddenly, I feel that having 4 blogs is not worth my time.  It&#8217;s not beneficial to me or to anyone.</p>
