STAR FOR ALL SEASONS
STAR FOR ALL SEASONS Kamukha ko raw si ate Vi (star for all seasons Ninang!). Well, I think lahat ng maikli Ang buhok, oval yung face, at maputi ay kamukha ni Ate Vi. In fact, my mother also looks like Vilma Santos daw (wow! StarS for all seasons!). Pwede rin yung mother-in-law ko actually. 😬 … Continue reading STAR FOR ALL SEASONS
BREAKTHROUGHHHHHHH (Ninang! One Moment in Time!)
BREAKTHROUGHHHHHHH (Ninang! One Moment in Time!) I used to just swim for a minute before I feel my lung almost bursting. Then in that one fine day in a resort in Palawan, I learned to breathe properly while swimming (you can exhale even outside the water!). Now I can do 10 laps continuously--oh maybe just … Continue reading BREAKTHROUGHHHHHHH (Ninang! One Moment in Time!)
My Preciousssss….
My Preciousssss.... We are treasure seekers. All our lives we seek things that will bring us happiness, satisfaction, comfort, security, and confidence- at least for a time. And though through different means, we are driven by the quest to build riches-- though riches of different types. Commonly, we strive to gain material treasures. Education gives … Continue reading My Preciousssss….
WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE (ka)PARIS! (Better Half Ninang? 😊)
WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE (ka)PARIS! (Better Half Ninang? 😊) Getting old certainly does not only bring memories. It brings questions of What might-have-beens if we chose a different path (midlife crisis Ninang?). And even more challenging to some, it stirs questions of WHO could-have-beens. Queries that wise people think should not be asked at all. It … Continue reading WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE (ka)PARIS! (Better Half Ninang? 😊)
DANCING QUEEN.. Umm MAYBE PRINCESS
DANCING QUEEN.. Umm MAYBE PRINCESS 😋 Not a few will say I transform into someone else when I dance. I guess it doesn't show how much I love dancing when you see me walking in the corridors of the hospital (unless I try strutting.. Hmmmm), or giving a lecture, or participating in a meeting. But … Continue reading DANCING QUEEN.. Umm MAYBE PRINCESS
THE (he)ART OF IGNOREMI
THE (he)ART OF IGNOREMI (not in the dictionary Ninang!) "Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense." (Proverbs 19:11) I am a student of this art called Ignoremi. Being confrontational does not help me at all. When you want conflicts settled instantly, feelings out in the open, … Continue reading THE (he)ART OF IGNOREMI

HOPE AGAINST HOPE
HOPE AGAINST HOPE Is there hope for our country? We are markedly divided about decisions (FOR versus AGAINST) on issues whose significance further divides us (TRIVIAL versus RELEVANT). And we are infiltrated by Amoral people without identity who liberally spew abusive words without regard for what is humanely acceptable, simply because they are accountable to … Continue reading HOPE AGAINST HOPE
SENSE OF OFFENSE, SENSE OF DEFENSE
SENSE OF OFFENSE, SENSE OF DEFENSE Who is sensitive and does not easily get offended? Who is sensitive and not readily become suspicious of what others really mean? Sensitivity gives us better capability and capacity to empathize and understand. But it also makes life harder when we put inappropriate meaning (and feeling!) to what another … Continue reading SENSE OF OFFENSE, SENSE OF DEFENSE
