Always good seeing you my talented friend. Good jamming with you Brian!
Prayer.
The other day I went out to eat with my brother, and he noticed that I’ve started praying before my meals again.
He asked me when I started praying again, and I told him it was because of my friends.
God has blessed me with these amazing people, so that I can find my way back to strengthening my relationship with Him. And that alone has helped me through a bunch of things lately.
Thank you for being a constant inspiration to me, guys.
Dear God,
I pray that these next few days are fruitful and productive. I pray that I find the focus and drive that you’ve blessed me with deep inside, so that I can make this semester just as successful as the last one. I’ve struggled and fallen behind again, but I know that if I just focus on working hard, You will help me through it.
- Brian

The loveliest thing about photography
is described in the simple statement that “a picture is worth a thousand words”.
I’ve always found it fascinating that such memorable moments, along with the emotions, and stories behind them, can be forever encapsulated and depicted in a simple picture.
It feels amazing know that I’ve had the opportunity to take pictures like those recently. The response from my family members to the pictures I took at my Uncle’s funeral last week have been amazing.
Words can’t even express how awesome I think it is that my photos were able to speak to them in such an emotional way. Some family members who couldn’t make it that day even thanked me because it helped them feel like they were there.
As much as I hate that the pictures I took made them cry or feel sad, it makes me happy knowing that I was doing more than just taking snapshots that day. There was meaning behind what I was doing. There was a story being told.
Thank You, God for this eye for photography you’ve blessed me with.
I can’t wait to continue to explore the talents you’ve given me.
Lost two family members within a week of each other..
One to gun violence last week, and now as of this morning, another to a stroke.
I hate how deaths in the family are just so sudden and unexpected.
Poor Kuya Jerrold…
=\
You were such a sweet man. The last time we spoke you were complimenting me on my music and encouraging me to keep going with it. Thank you so much for your support and love.
My brother and I were on the way to visit you this morning, only to find out you had already passed away hours before we got to the hospital.
I just visited your Facebook page, and it gave me chills just reading all of the messages on your wall from all of the people who’s lives you’ve touched saying that they love and miss you. It’s crazy how sites like facebook have become a new place for messages like that when people pass away. Seeing messages even as simple as “Good bye my friend, I will miss you dearly” hit me hard just imagining what’d it’d be like if I were writing a message like that for one of my friends.
I never had the opportunity to get to know you very well. I only met you a few years back because you’re my cousin’s husband’s brother. But I’ll definitely always remember you as the guy who was always really nice to talk to at family parties. It just pains me knowing that such a nice person had to die so young. Leaving behind a wife and kids..
Though our paths crossed for only a brief moment in time, you’ve touched my heart in a positive way, and for that I am thankful.
Rest in Peace, Jerrold.
Happy Friday, guysssss~~
“You really are a catch, dude. You’re not just any other guy, Brian. God’s saving you for someone special.”
My friends are awesome. Thanks, Abby.
Three more weeks of school.
I got this damnittt.
blaaaaaah
So burnt. I don’t even wanna do homework right now.
Patience.
Mine’s wavering.
And I know it’s because I got a taste of what I’ve been waiting for, only to find out it was just a teaser.
I hate how vulnerable I am when I’m like this. I feel weak and so much more prone to giving in to things I wouldn’t normally allow myself to do. The idea of settling for just anything seems so much more tempting.
Thankfully, the idea of wanting to keep myself from doing anything I would regret has kept me going. What goes up, must come down. And after all of these months of me just being on this high of happiness, now is the time for things to head back down again.
Haha, sometimes I sound like I’m super depressed and miserable. I’m not. Just wanted to make that clear for anyone who’s reading. I’m just in an emotional slump is all. My energy and spirits are low. But I guess everyone needs to go through these phases now and then. I wouldn’t be able to appreciate the moments of overwhelming happiness I’ve gotten before otherwise.
So right now I’m just trudgin’ along, chasing that next high I guess you could say.
Well this was fun. See ya next time I feel like rambling.
