 | Welcome to my life and thoughts | Jul 8, 2007 |
Hi I am Marc Castrodes. Here i ponder, reminisce, and dream. I am a keen observer of the things around me and the events of my time; yet i shall write always in the context of what has been and what awaits. For i love life's movements-- always either the consequences or fruits of the past or building blocks (be them firm or otherwise) for the future.
As a journeyman, i have learned not to plot my course on stone. I am where i am unexpectedly, mysteriously. I have desires yet, the twists and turns always, though oftentimes worrisome and precarious, always lead to something better than i thought.
Everything revealed in these pages therefore are product of mystery; of things beyond what was planned and hoped for. Words, images, and sounds all making sense only in the context of life's movements.
Movements known only after they have happened. Some spanning but moments, some for days, many understood only after some years of daily plodding.
Because i do not expect much, i am awed much. Because i do not plead the heavens much, i am thankful.
Thanks to you for dropping by. I do not guarantee much, except that i shall try to make your visit-- time well spent.

Realization
A few days ago, i emceed an event at Malacanang again. The last time was in 2003; a lot of things have changed since. I am 90% out of government; the 10 percent accounts for the seat i hold at MTRCB, which i decided to keep, for being different... morePrevious blog entries: | ||

 | aisandan wrote on Aug 13, '07 hello kuya marc... yep, i definitely have that in mind, to do blogging. in time, maybe some days from now when work would let loose, a little. i just started this multiply account when i saw my manoy's. it got me really entrusted. i find it better than friendster. it's been a long time since i last visited your place and that was just once. 3 or 4 years ago, before you moved to your new house... and your eldest was then just a baby... you have effortlessly and helplessly beautiful girls... my warmest regards! |
