Dear pea-sized angel,
It’s been four days since we found out you’re here somewhere swimming inside me. It has been overwhelming in all aspects: physically, financially and emotionally. Mama’s got the cough and colds. They said once you’re pregnant, your immune system gradually lowers its defenses so as not to identify you little dufus as an invader. So...

Christmas thoughts
I firmly believe that values should be instilled at an early age. Try as you might to force it on someone after a quarter of a century, words will just fall on deaf ears. Simply put, there’s no point in hoping that a person who has grown up without values will start acquiring it later on at some point in his life.
So Lourdes, when you become a parent, do remember this and remember it...
Wistful Thinking
Going to church means a lot to me, so I hate going to a service that feels like a variety show. I understand that ministers of the church want people to flock to their service, but most of the time, with this intention in mind, they forget what their real mission is: to proclaim the gospel.
This was a real issue for me when I moved here in the US. In the Philippines, I’ve gotten accustomed...

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most...
thelegendaryjackofalltrades:
“Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Insecurities are terrible, terrible stains.
What the eff
I hate it when I feel really high about something that I’d want to write about it but figured I’m too tired or something. Then the next day, the details and ideas are not as vivid as it used to be - so now, I really can’t write about it anymore! Rarrr.

It’s ironic when someone professes their love for you, yet when they get mad at you for the slightest reason, it’s like they don’t know you at all.

Good Friday Prayer
Lord, teach me to become the woman you want me to be. Do not let me use my tongue as a weapon to kill but as a means to give hope and love to everyone around me. Let me be slow in anger and have tons of patience. I know that with my character right now, it would seem impossible, but I believe in the promise of Your grace. Lead me on this hard path and instruct me patiently for You know how...
Growing Old with Your Partner in Life
Will You Be As Old As This?
Let me tell you a story.
One day, an old couple who are in their nineties were getting very forgetful.
While watching TV, the man stood up to go to the kitchen.
The wife said, “Where are you going?”
The husband said, “To the kitchen.”
“Can you give me a bowl of ice cream?”
“Sure,” the man said.
“And can...

Paperweight
I was scouring youtube for potential songs that could be included on my wedding song list, and I chanced upon “Paperweight” by Joshua Radin. However, it was not the song that caught me off guard but a comment by a youtube user. It broke my heart.
Here it is:
Back at my military college, there used to be an exercise when seniors used to torture till you break. They kick you thrash...

As I was about to invoke my right to what I felt I deserved, I realized I had no right to question if life had been fair . I have a set of healthy parents, I eat three times a day, I was able to finish college … and I have a job. Those alone could make me feel ashamed of the supposed injustice I had earlier pondered on. So whenever you feel you’ve been treated unjustly, don’t...
Pensive Undulation
It was high time I told myself, to see that looking glass once more—to visit its wake and see the magnificence of it bereft of life, bloodless, shattered. I stood along a dark hallway, walked a thousand steps, feeling the lifeless bricks that encased me. As I walked farther, silent screams echoed at the forefront. How many years had it been, I thought? One would think that such wretchedness would...

Blurbs
I thank the Lord today for having spun my curiosity on the different occurrences across the globe. I am an avid reader of news websites, but I haven’t been giving a lot of thought on how much people all over the world have been suffering, be it from natural disasters or man-made causes. I realized that stressing on all sorts of trivialities that I had labeled as “problems” was...
