TRUE COLORS Our pastor says that if there's a screen on our forehead that shows our thoughts, we will surely try to cover it. Our thoughts are not something we can always be proud of; but do they reveal who we really are? Is our unscreened way of thinking (or speaking, or acting) our "true … Continue reading TRUE COLORS (Ganda Ninang!)
CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON! "War Freak!" -- I can still hear my classmate calling me when we were first year Highschool. Born in the land of "balisong" with "kapeng barako" (caffeine!) as soup to my rice in the morning; surrounded by people who speak like they are shouting, and having relatives whose past time may be … Continue reading CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON!

SILENT APPLAUSE We thrive in affirmation. We love to see, hear, feel, even taste (!) affirmation. Nodding heads, commendations, pats on the back, meal treats (!)- they bring us addicting satisfaction and fulfillment. We crave for it, and rejoice in it, whether we admit it or not.

WHEN "c" BECOMES "d" (That's Dyslexia Ninang!) I was giving an exam feedback (answers to test questions) to medical students and there was this Answer that caused an uproar from the class. I checked the answer twice, agreed that it's questionable, and recorded the answer of the "expressive" majority. The faculty who made the question … Continue reading WHEN “c” BECOMES “d”
THE GANGSTER IN ALL OF US Yesterday, I was listening to the news about gangsters "ruling" the maximum security prison of our country. Twelve groups of gangsters each with a dormitory. They maintain order, surprisingly, but conduct illegal activities to do so. And we allowed them, at least for a time. We always question does … Continue reading NINANG GANGSTER (!)
THE TRIPPING POINT No, it has not been misspelled. No, not "tipping" point, but "tripping" point. This is not the time when small things contribute to big successes, as in the book of Malcom Gladwell. On the contrary, it's how success and power, when used wrongly can lead to failure. "Tripping point", a.k.a. "power tripping", … Continue reading THE TRIPPING POINT (wrong spelling Ninang..)
