After around five failed blogs, I turned out to be going back to my original blog host. Everything will be REAL this time around. I'll even be using my real name to document the posts.

Of Faith | The Convo Brew
http://jiea-dee.blogspot.com/2011/08/of-faith.html
Because there are just too many stories to talk about over a cup of coffee. Thursday, August 25, 2011. I am a Catholic on my birth certificate but not entirely by heart, mind and soul. I boldly declare myself a Christian even if I bluntly disagree with many of the Church’s teachings and the Bible’s verses. I fully support the RH Bill, I'm quite loose on the idea of fidelity and I don't think that virginity is a virtue. I believe in Jesus Christ. I would, however, also call myself a Christian Universalist.

Because there are just too many stories to talk about over a cup of coffee. Archive for October 2011. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Asian countries have many reasons to be proud. China is proud because they're now the world's largest exporter and is fast becoming the next superpower. Singapore is proud because they now ranked second just behind Switzerland in the Global Competitiveness Report 2011-2012 and all their universities entered the World's Top 100. Sunday, October 2, 2011. No one is hated more th...

A Teen Gay's Essay | The Convo Brew
http://jiea-dee.blogspot.com/2010/03/teen-gays-essay.html
Because there are just too many stories to talk about over a cup of coffee. A Teen Gay's Essay. Wednesday, March 31, 2010. History of my Life. Aldrin Justin L. Go, March 19th 2010. I can’t control these feelings. I was simply born to feel this way. I was still enrolled at Hope when I entered elementary school and these “feelings” never went away. My parents were even commenting they could see hints of gayness in me – my actions, my behavior, my personality and basically everything a...My bittersweet rela...

Service Above Self | The Convo Brew
http://jiea-dee.blogspot.com/2010/08/service-above-self.html
Because there are just too many stories to talk about over a cup of coffee. Saturday, August 21, 2010. They say it’s better to give than to receive. Yesterday I was officially inducted to the Rotary Club of Narra, a branch of the Rotary District 3830 and eventually the noble Rotary International with its sole motto of, “Service Above Self.”. Yet who am I to judge if this Rotary thing is just stress and pressure in one package? As much as this stress weighed like ten elephants, I just consoled myself that...

Not-so-Holy Week | The Convo Brew
http://jiea-dee.blogspot.com/2010/04/not-so-holy-week.html
Because there are just too many stories to talk about over a cup of coffee. Friday, April 2, 2010. Filed under: Black Saturday. It’s Semana Santa. Once again and I can feel the lack of activity of my surroundings. Yet I’ve been noticing that as the years and trends pass, there are fewer and fewer people fasting and more and more people feasting during Holy Week. I’m not in Manila right now so I have little or no knowledge of the current “trend” of spending (or rather celebrating. As for city-dwellers, th...

The Picasso Problem | The Convo Brew
http://jiea-dee.blogspot.com/2011/12/picasso-problem.html
Because there are just too many stories to talk about over a cup of coffee. Monday, December 19, 2011. They say that for every Picasso, there are 1,000 starving artists. What sucks about it is it's true. What sucks more about it is it also applies to other aspects of life, particularly the arts. For every one Justin Bieber, there are 1,000 aspiring teens posting videos of themselves on YouTube also hoping to be discovered and gain fame and fortune. Here's a frustrated/aspiring blogger whose dreams of a f...
