Dream it. Draft it. Do it.

  • Vengeance Is…

    Vengeance Is not Ours, It’s God’s Alms, alms, alms. Spare me a piece of bread. Spare me your mercy.  I am a child so young, so thin, and so ragged.Why are you staring at me?  With my eyes I cannot see but I know that you are all staring at me. Why are you whispering…

  • Eat a Cranberry, Pumpkin Seed & Blueberry Bar

    If you are to rise, learn to descend, Life doesn’t always bring mountains to ascend. Decaf, Americano, large – the boss commanded. Without batting an eyelid, I complied. I pressed the lift down the coffee shop, Never letting self-pity gets a grip. Whispering: “Servitude is an act of love, Self-talking: “Better yet, it’s paid.” At the…

  • What Kind of Woman Do You Wanna Be?

    Julia Child – A Woman of Cheer and A Fine Cooking Guru Funny that her surname is Child when she happened to be childless. Julia did not throw herself into despondency instead devoted her time learning and teaching the Art of  French Cooking.  (I’d love to be her child.) Kato Lomb – The Language Genius Lomb…

    31st Century Suicide

    Suicide rates have increased in the year 3000. Futurama foretells.

  • Suits

    You don’t have to be a lawyer to appreciate Suits. I, for one, fell in love with yet another foreign TV series. If Americans can create witty comedy-drama series, why Pinoy TV can’t produce shows of this caliber? Something exciting. Edifying. Mind-boggling. Refreshing (i.e. a show not entirely focused on romance.) Nah, I’m not bitter. Why watch…

  • Motorola Flipout with Motoblur

    Most business people let their smart phones do the talking, texting, socializing & even networking for them – but none of them has mesmerized me as much as Motorola Flipout with Motoblur. What Issa? You dislike Iphones and Blackberries but you’re gushing over a phone worth less than $200? Remember I bought the cookie phone…

  • The Wedding Singer

      My voice reverberated with excitement as my fingers felt the strings of a stranger’s guitar. I began strumming..humming..beaming. I hate getting disappointed from the start, so I picked songs with easy chords: Hawak Kamay by Yeng Constantino [G – Em – C – D, Am – Bm – C- D,  G- Em – C9…

  • On Self-Help Books

    I never liked reading English fiction in high school. I preferred Tagalog pocketbook romances ’cause they’re cheap, comprehensible, and satisfying. Until I met Og Mandino.

  • Panlasang Pinoy Sa Dubai

    Iba nga talaga ang lutong Pinoy. Maaring masarsa, maalat, mamantika, o maasim, ngunit siguradong palaging katakam-takam. Di na nakapagtatakang hanap-hanapin ng panlasang Pinoy ang mga pagkaing kinamulatan, kinalakhan at kinapanabikang makita sa kanilang Lamesa. Kabilang marahil ang Dubai sa iilang siyudad sa mundo na pinamumugaran ng mga Pilipino, pumapangalawa tayo sa mga Indyano. Narinig nyo…

  • The Art of Peace

    Why do we always dwell on human tragedies? A dose of good thoughts enriches life. I found 12 out of 114 quotes inevitably moving, deeply nourishing.
