A Vampire’s Shakey Tale Before Taking Off

In a few hours I’ll be off to my hometown. I was dropped off here in the airport 9 hours before my flight. Excited? No. Not really. Why? First, around 5pm we picked up my sister who just arrived from Dubai and sent her to the domestic airport. My flight is actually on September 22 4:20AM. It would be totally tiring to go back home and travel again to the airport so I decided to stay here at the airport instead rather than missing my flight because of my don’t-wake-me-up habit. For a couple of hours, my eyes was so helpless that it was too lucky to see arriving hotties either from Boracay or Puerto Galera. There were countless of them. Enough with the imagination and let’s get on to what really happened.

A New Look and Feel

After three cups of coffee, I decided to change the theme of my blog. Why? I have no idea either. Maybe it’s because I saw 2-3 blogs having similar premium theme like mine. It’s not that I’m giving way for them, perhaps I only wanted to be different. And last but not the least, I was struggling to fight getting burned out last night. Not to mention the horrible weather and the strong winds that looks like it could blow away our roof.  The heavy rain also left me with no choice but to go out, get soaked and check our roof since it’s horribly dripping. But anyway, I hope you guys like it. Cheers!

The City of Angels Aftermath

Since nobody would really want to start a story about what happened in Angeles City, I guess I’ll have to start it myself. To start with, me and my best buddy, Lorenzo (Zorlone), met at SM North Annex and waited for the bus en route to Dau, Pampanga. The silly poet asked me to go to the end of the map while there’s actually a bus station on MRT Taft Station. As a consolation we were still able to get a bus and got ourselves a seat at the very end of the bus.

LyleHam Dot Com Under Maintenance

LyleHam.Com is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance. The site is currently migrating to a new hosting provider and it’s taking awhile for things to fully propagate. Thank you for your patience.

Big thanks to Jehzlau once more for his kind offer of letting me shelter my blog under his hosting provider.

The First Fast in Philippines

Fasting during the month of Ramadan is fourth of the five pillars of Islam which includes the profession of faith, prayers, distribution of alms and pilgrimage to Makkah, the Haj. Fasting includes abstention from food, drink, smoking, sexual acts as well as any bad habits such as profanity. This is meant to purify the soul of the Muslim.

This would be my second fasting and first time here in the Philippines. The first one I had was in Dubai with my wife. This was supposed to be my third Ramadan actually but it was already late since I converted in the last week of the 2007 Ramadan. At first, it’s very hard to adjust specially if you’re used to regular meals. Not to mention my monstrous diet. There was a time when I skipped a day of fasting due to extreme hunger. Hopefully this year, I’ll be able to complete the whole month.

To all my Muslim brothers out there, HAVE A BLESSED MONTH OF RAMADAN!
