This Friday morning was never be the same again. As I usually start my day, out from the bed, drink coffee, pray, shower and out from my house and straight to the bus stop on my way to work. But like what I say, this morning is not an ordinary day to me.
Let’s start in the Bus stop, my bus came, then I ride the bus and once inside the bus this old guy in the front row already caught my attention. He was lying in the seat like a drunken man, so I try to look at him and said to myself this guy was always riding on this bus and I know he was going to work so no way that this guy is drunk. And there is really something in my instinct telling me to check this guy, something I need to do, it was like somebody whispering me to please check this guy, something is wrong with this guy that need immediate attention. So I check the guy and notice he was lying with a straight body and look like he is not even breathing, so I wait another stop light where at least there is light to see him clearly, it was still dark at that time, around 7:00am. To be honest I was also hesitant to confront the guy what if I’m wrong, tight? But I really have bad feeling and I started to smell something that was going strong.
And the turning point come, the bus stop to let the passenger in, a lady seat close to that guy and he accidentally kick the guy’s feet and I notice the two feet move at the same time, this guy is hard as a dead guy. So I immediately ask the driver to check the guy that lying in the front seat and tell him the guy was look like not breathing anymore. The driver stop the bus and ask guy to seat properly and when he tap the guy, there is no reaction from the guy and he is really hard, immediately the driver call 911 and ask all the passenger to come down and one volunteer immediately to give this guy a CPR while waiting for the paramedics to attend and help this guy.
After 5 minutes I already hear the ambulance siren not far from the scene and the next bus arrive so I take that and go to work and trying to start the day as nothing happen. Although I spend most of this day thinking about this guy, his family, do he have a small kid that depend on him and the scene of a dead man beside you continue giving me creep, it was really a nightmare to me that keep haunting me. I’m not use to it but this things is happen and I hope that he is still alive and the paramedic save him, that my action is not late at all, what if I listen to my senses on the first time I feel it, do I save the guy because I do action immediately? I don’t know what God telling me in this situation all I know that this situation might happen to anyone, love yourself, stay healthy and love others around you, give smile to strangers. But the big question keep bothering me is why those people around him did not bother to check this guy when he is attacking by death, is that because he looks dirty and they are people working in downtown, in the office in their best suit and dresses for  work, you know what I mean. If the guy beside him shows a little bit of concern, maybe he saves this guy life. But I don’t know I’m not the right person to judge him. Let just say that what happen today will everyone in that bus will learn something about it and in next time will show concern the people around them whoever is this guy, his status in life, and his personality.

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 1Peter v3:8

It’s another long weekend again here at British Columbia, Canada as we celebrate the B.C. day, this year is the 150 years of British Columbia. As far as I know there is a lot of celebration going on but not that big. But in Victoria, B.C. the capital City of B.C. they have a big party out there.
But me and my family we are going to a camping, it was actually the annual camping by the Filipino community in our church, The Trinity Baptist Church. This year the camping was in Vedder River Camp Ground, Chilliwack. The camping was 3 days and 3 nights but usually the camper only stay there for 3 days and 2 nights, but we decided to stay their for 2 days and 1 night only. Having an active almost 3years old son is really quite a handful for us.
Going to camping is really a very nice experience and relaxing on the other hand just to get away from the noise of the city, TV, computers and everything that will make you busy and stressful. There are also a lot of activities in the camping and a lot of time for your spiritual food as that was the main concept of this camping, to be with your God without destruction around you. Just simply to have a quite time, a family time and a close interaction with your fellow Christian.
And today because we are going to stay for one night only we don’t bring a tent we are going to sleep in our van, I just going to fold the second and last seat so we can sleep on the van floor. We are going to lay some blanket and the sleeping bag. And of course we must not forget to open a bit of the window so that the air will flow and avoid suffocation and maybe gas poisoning. Safety always comes first.

Google update again their PageRank today where many SEO always waiting for. Today, I don’t know if this will be a good news for me most of my site receive a good Pagerank, like this my personal blog got PR 3 and some increase to PR3 from PR2 but the site which I really focus on still have a PR0 after Google penalized my site in their last update last March and today still PR0 not even PR1, right now I’m still anonymous on this blog so I don’t want to mention all those other blogs of mine. I don’t know if you can identify me on my pictures in my last post. So right now I should take a look again on my site what went wrong or if I still have a lot of broken links and spammer attached to my site.

So what do you think guys do I need to focus more on my other site with high PR or the one what I really love. Or maybe the question was, do I need to exchange my love to the one that will bring more extra income to me or keep improving?

It’s Friday another week is done, it’s weekend again some call it family day. We also call it family day, of course. Family time is the most important for us so we usually go out on weekend.
Tonight when I got home I saw my son playing outside the house at the sideyard if you can call it that way because it was not at the back of the house we were renting, our entrance is at the side and there is a small space their where my son can play.
I saw him in his bike and once he saw he was so happy and a bit of dancing (he usually do that when he was so excited) so he run towards me and I give him a hug and he immediately ask me to play with him, to play basketball. I bought him a fisherman’s kids basketball ring.
So I put first my bag inside the house and get the ball and we both enjoy some shooting and laughter it was really a fun time for us, He enjoy it and I also really enjoy.
I really see the joy in him that really touch me that time, I have actually a deadline tonight and I only have 3 hours to finish my sponsored post. So I try to get that opp out on my mind and stay focus spending time with my son, I really miss it. I know I’m tired and exhausted from work but I still used my excess energy for my son. So I spend my time playing to my son while we are waiting for my wife to be home from work. We play almost 2hours when my wife arrive.
She had a 2 regular size Pizza from Panago as our dinner and a DVD movie. It was movie night were going to eat dinner while watching the movie, yehey!!! While watching “Spiderwick Chronicles” my stand in front of us covering my view from the TV and I get a chance to look at him and I say to myself - my baby is no longer a baby he is growing so fast he is actually 2 years old and 10 months. He is big now, then it remind me of what I’m going to loss if I continue to my busy schedule and other stuffs that filling up my time, My son is growing so fast, I don’t want to miss any single moment of that. I need to check how I spend time for my family and for my son. It’s really melted my heart about it added to that the scene in the movie where spiderwick leave his daughter when the fairy try to save him against the bad goblin and left his daughter alone without a father and a mother. That was really a terrible scene to happen in real life to any one. And I don’t want that to happen to me, to know my son growing without me or his mother.
Time is too short, seize the moment, enjoy it with your kids while you can. Spending more time to your kids is the best and priceless you can do to your kids. I always treasure my time with my son, mostly when we are enjoying as a family complete with my wife and sometime with other relatives and friends.
I’m so thankful to GOD for having a son like Adrian that is so sweet, and a loving wife who always beside me.

Last Night my wife and I decided to bring my son to a movie, we actually planning to watch a movie for over a week now but to find a nanny for my son is quite the hard part for us. So we usually pass some of the good movie this summer, like Indiana Jones which I’m dying to watch, incredible hulk, HellBoy, Kung Fu Panda, Hancock and a lot that I don’t remember anymore. To make story short we bring our son only to watch a movie at Riverport Silvercity, Richmond and since we both like to watch “Wall-E” we agree this is the best time to bring my son for his first movie. We really worry that my son will go wild, I mean get bored and lost interest while watching the movie, so we try to condition him and a bit of bribe, we buy big popcorn in bucket which he like. Once we got inside the cinema he started to look everywhere with wonder and fun on his eyes. We are really lucky I can say because all the trailers and commercials is all kids friendly and make my son really interested and entertained. So it was real family moments for all of us, we all have a fun movie night and a good night sleep after that.

It’s been already 5 days raining now and as forecasted today that it will last up to this coming weekend. I know it was a bad news since the weather is already showing the sign of summer season, people like me who miss so much the hot , humid weather will make rain really sucks. Cold wind and rain is really a god combination of cough and flu.
If I really make this blog running I can say that this blog will be filled up of post about the transportation system here in Vancouver, how sucks it was. Since I’m a daily user of Bus, there is no reason I cannot experience the good and bad in the system. Of course I’m not bias on my opinion about it but what can you do about it I’m always in the front line. Now it was raining again, you are lining up in the Bus stop without roof waiting for the late bus to arrive soon and in the next stop the Bus was already been their parked for 15minutes (which I don’t know what he is doing) and yet he still not stop at the bus stop and let us in (it’s raining man!) although he was already late and he know it. I know he need to rest but can he just let us in first and then leave the bus and take a break. So who’s to blame? Absolutely the Bus Company, they don’t add drivers and additional trip on the route since they know there is a lot of Passenger on that route mostly students in the rush hour and yet seems like they don’t know about it. Imagine a 30 minutes bus interval schedule and you miss the first bus, its raining, snow, so cold, so what’s to you?
Really this post is as gloomy as I can see it, the rain is pouring so hard. I’m wet and cold waiting for the bus to ride me home and see my loving son, play with him and enjoy the remaining daylight and when the dark cloud cover the atmosphere and the only thing you see is the star that sign above us trying to gain sight out of the dark cloud just to give hope for people like me that there is always light at the end of the darkness time.

Yap, PSP God of War Entertainment Pack - Red is out now and out for Me. I can’t afford to buy it now, I was in a very tight budget, I’m broke, and my credit card interest is growing more than what I purchase. Damn point’s reward I was hooked up and now I can’t get away from it. Just a warning for CanadianTire credit card user.

But honestly I feel pity for my self right now. I really like this version of PSP, the Kratos silk screen face on the back and the red color is totally awesome, not to mention the good stuff included in the package which is for me is just a treat, that was not the main stuff. I can actually afford it I still have another credit card for BestBuy but of course I don’t want to swim in a pool of credit card notices.

Even it was limited edition I’m sure if I’m going to buy it in the next two months I can still buy it at BestBuy. Like other releases, we are here in Vancouver don’t have enough geek to make a supply to run out of stocks.

I know it was a sign of hope for me to own my first ever PSP slim, next to my Fat PSP which I bought more than two years now. So I’m hopeful that when I was able to buy one it was still available at BestBuy or Futureshop. So I will mark this post if in the next two months and I don’t have it. Then it was not available anymore.

Today is Friday and the funny way to start my day with the failure of my bus to show up in the bus stop where he is supposes to show up. I usually take the bus at 8:00am but today he doesn’t show up so I need to wait for another 15minutes to take the next bus.

This is the big difference in the Philippines where you can get and ride a public transit anytime you want even in the early morning like 2:00am. But here in Vancouver you really need to set a trip schedule so you won’t be left in the cold waiting for the next bus to come, but even if you setting up better schedule the possibilities of waiting in the cold for half hour. Yap, I usually experience that. To get in the work I need to take three bus ride, first bus I don’t need to wait a long time but once I miss that, possibly I’m going to miss my second bus which is I need to wait for half hour and another half hour for the third bus. Total travel time from 7:00am to 9:30am equals to 2Hr and 30minutes for 28km, regularly travel time as per Google Maps is 34minutes. Fare price is $3.50 the most expensive bus fare in Canada.

Wonder why I say funny day? Well I got out of the office like 10minutes early just to get an earliest bus than usual but what happen is so funny it’s like a DeJavu the bus didn’t show up again. Damn! I should be home now. Where are actually the best services they are saying for the Fare increase, maybe on the next Fare hike? Maybe….
