Looking back. Somehow I want to move on. I want to continue. But it isn't working. There are questions floating on my head. Things left unanswered. I want to know. I want to finish. I want to live the life The life I deserve. But there is something. That year left me hanging. I have to look back. Know what I was doing. All this time. Oh, I want to know. Where is it? What is it? Who is it? How can I get it? Lord, I need a friend. Someone who will understand. This question left unanswered. Please help me. I'll look back. That I may find that friend. Hoping to look forward once more. KENNETH

From the King James Bible. A Prayer for Help in Trouble  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. 1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever?  How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?  As my college days are waning fast, I went into this trouble when I faced adversities over my academic performances. Distractions came with me to prevent me from focusing my studies. And it hit me. It hit me hard. It let me forget that the Father never forgot me and hide His face from me. I went into deep emotional trouble in relation my family, my friends and peers, and my faith in God. 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?  Time after time, I get frustrated over myself everyday. I may have achieved something but everything else aside from it let me think I am a failure. I may smile before you, but deep inside the enemy has been exalting over me throug...

It has been a time since this craze has been popularised. Surprsingly, this form of music and dance culture was established through the Bisdak ( Bisayang dako ) culture in Mindanao, and is being given a frown among those who are unfamiliar to its sound and its impact among Filipino southerners. With its heavy beats, scratchy basses, and high-pitched synths, combined with odd sound effects and Bisaya lyrics and dialogue, no wonder it has been ingrained in the minds and bodies of the low-income class youth of Mindanao. This is called "budots" . To give you a preview, let me share you this clip. Atrocious as it sounds to those who aren't familiar with the music and the dances incorporated with it, budots has interesting elements that have been well-combined to create an identity that spans across the hip-hop and techno music genre. It's been identified as "a crossbreed of European techno music and bad hip-hop, added with some nasty attitude." The...

I have just turned 21. It's been another year for me. Now it's time to start new things. New things to look upon. New things to explore. New things to enjoy. Thank you Father for all You have done. This is for You. Cheers! KENNETH

Things have been going well for me this last semester of mine in UPMin. My schedule's not so tight anymore, although I still have my Special Problem to manage. Only two CS major courses are left for me: Networking, and Automata Theory. Oh, well, this semester has been proven quite challenging for me, since I'm having a new Special Problem adviser. It also happened he is my batchmate who graduated on time. So, it's a bad choice between being comfortable with him as a batchmate and being awkward having to communicate as a faculty member. But nevertheless, I have to do my big part to finish this project of mine once and for all. My job with Himati coincided with my SP as well, since my topic involved the publication. After being a video blogger for two terms, I decided to move on and become mainly the Online Services Developer for the student publication. It's quite stressful having to communicate with the staff regularly to gather their feedback about my project....

My blog's now six years-old ! How the years have gone! This personal blog of mine may be quite inactive because of my work, I will not hesitate myself to post things that I am happy to share with in these past years. For six years, this is where I share my stellar, wonderful life. It has been rocky, but I look ahead of a great journey. Thanks for those who believed in me, and I am grateful for it. Move on!
