ClayGo: Clean As You Go

I thought I would never be posting this because it may appear as a show-off of one of my positive attitudes.

But the gravity of my concern to other people's behavior toward the environment is increasingly becoming unacceptable.

I am with high hopes, that through this post, I can at least raise awareness about proper decorum in dealing with our wastes, even as simple as putting your empty plastic bag of Chips (chichirya) down to the right bin or as responsible as doing a ClayGo - clean as you go, whenever appropriate.

For the past few months, I have been practicing ClayGo - which for no reason at all (prolly an inner force inspiration?), I decided to do it whenever I can.

These are some probable causes that I may have considered subconsciously in doing so:

• I felt the need to help the crew (say, I am dining in at McDonalds or Jollibee - I can see the labor of waiting tables and the countless hours of standing serving customers and cleaning up the mess left by diners. (By default, it was their job to do so, but ain't it wonderful to strive in helping them? And the sense of "pride" cleaning or putting the table in peace is just worth it"
• As a courtesy to the next diner who will use your table. You may relate that at times, fast food chains are queuing also, and the crew are so busy that the next customer sat inplace to the unprepared/uncleaned table already. In that case, if you ClayGoed - you have extended the courtesy and politeness to your fellowman. It may be unseen and no gratitude was given - but i'm sure - it will come back to you ten folds.

In a bigger picture - I was browsing through my Twitter Feed earlier and found this viral image captured by a Wildlife Photographer - I need not explain further...

It's quite saddening - that inappropriate throwing of waste can have a magnified impact even to the deepest of the sea - as innocent and as vulnerable as a seahorse.

So, humankind - let's unite and make waves to practice responsible dealing of our garbage. Instilling this to your immediate family and or if you have the power of influence to a group of people or team - please relay the message.

"Be Kind - is enough even if you are not the kindest"

The Flying Of The Angels

Hymns reverberating in the hallways,
Hallelujahs and exaltations!
is all that was left in memory.


Thank you, for You have not abandoned me.


The indescribable feeling of elation,
i felt so constantly - whenever Your spirit pours
is all that kept me going in my race.


Thank You, for your compassion and love.

Beautiful Art

Go ahead, put me to the tests; (with an s)
I have nothing but the firm grip, to hold on to your compassion

For when I bleed, I shall write beautiful art
and I’ll still call Your Name

And when the wounds have healed, I shall write beautiful art
and all the more I’ll call Thy Name

in heaven’s sake, afterall.

NBLAH: Nothing Breaks Like A Heart

And yeah, Miley!


I couldn’t get this off my head, ‘twas like i was bitten by the LSS bug, thanks to spotify for recommending this upbeat and instrumental-like song from the singer of Wrecking Ball. Hit the link below or listen to the hosting of the advertisers like Apple Music, Spotify or Amazon Music.

To add a bit of a review, this is a single of Mark Ronson featuring Miley Cyrus. Mark is a musician, DJ, songwriter and record producer with known collaborations to Amy Winehouse, Adele, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. 

With this new disco song with Miley that he created, i guess they are kickstarting a trend similar to the beats of Jamiroquai back in the late 90’s. Nothing Breaks Like A Heart (NBLAH) is gut wrenching lyrics-wise and produces thoughts of heartaches and resilience. To give a taste, here’s how the intro goes:

This world can hurt you, it cuts you deep and leaves a scar

Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart, nothing breaks like a heart.

And who can get to evade the sooper upbeat and engaging chorus:

This broken silence, my thunder crashing in the dark

Crash in the dark

And this broken record, spinning in circles

In the bars, spin 'round in the bars

This world can hurt you, it cuts you deep and leaves a scar

Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart, ooh

Nothing breaks like a heart, nothing breaks like a heart

I leave to you your own prophecy, im quite sure this will become a hit reaching number 1 in the billboards.

It’s a Decemberly heartbeak influence, indeed!


Your thoughts, please?

December One

Taking showers in the early mornings are no longer easy
My peppermint breath gets the foggy illusion when i exhale through the mouth
And it forms a cloudy vapor vanishing instantly
Just like how you chose to leave, so early.


Mercy, I beg... back in November
But it was just in my dreams...
Hoping everytime to see your name
Flashing on my phone’s notifications
Knowing that you at least are thinking the moments
we were together, for you to remember to message me.
Yet i was just dismayed
But it was just inside...
I managed to still flash those smiles
and carry forward my tasks and journey.


It’s true - i thought of you randomly
But for the sake of concern and care
If you are doing fine and ably walking with integrity
Somehow, i wish to believe you are.
