Nomadic Lifestyle

Ever since the fire, I have been living like a nomad with my Dad. In the morning we work, at night we check in to a pension house and rest.
Our belongings are stored in our Mitsubishi Adventure. It serves as our storage space.
We eat at an all you can eat salad bar.
We've adjusted well to this nomadic lifestyle and just laugh our problems off.
living like a nomad has it's perks. We get to hang out more.
We don't have to worry too much about belongings anymore.
We are waiting for an apartment though, so maybe up until next week we'll still be doing this.

How to survive a personal tragedy

whether it be a death in the family, an act of nature or financial loss, we as individuals have to transcend the loss and move on.
It won't be easy.
But, you can do it.
My family has gone through the death of my mother, bankruptcy, flood (several times, most notable would be the Ondoy) and fire (March 19th, 2011) and we've soldiered on.
My Dad has been a very strong person through all these tragedies and we as his children have followed his example and sucked it up and stayed strong. He doesn't complain, he doesn't gripe, he just accepts fate and moves on.
So if ever you are in situations like these, my advice to you would be: regain normalcy as soon as possible. If you have a job or a routine, go ahead and do it again.
It's normal to cry. But don't cry everyday. Dwelling on these things will just stop you from moving on.
Memories are best kept in the mind. Remember all the good things and try not to think too much of the bad things.
Survival, emotionally, is moving on as soon as possible.

Vanilla Ice - Remember this guy?

remember this guy?
bom bom bom bo da bomp bomp
bo da bom bom bom bo da bomp bomp
all right stop
collaborate and listen!
ice is back with a brand new invention!
no?
doesn't ring a bell?
unless you were born in the year 2000, well, where've you been?
Vanilla Ice was one of the biggest if not the biggest stars of the 90s
this white kid lorded over the radio airwaves with his rapping, which was ruled by african americans at that time. It was an impossible feat for this pasty skinned guy but he rose to the top like a shooting star!
and with his rapid rise to the top came his sudden decline as well.
One minute he's on top, the next he's a nobody.
Do you think he's out on the streets and panhandling?
nope. He somehow invested his money well and is living a comfortable life with his family and kids.
He tried several times to revive his career but he never really attained his former success.
I'd still check his music out though, just to see what twisted lyrics he has for the world to hear again.
Vanilla Ice, a musical icon.
