A decade ago, a friend of mine from the seminary gave me this beautiful pendant. At the back of the pendant was a piece of fabric. My friend told me to keep the pendant and venerate it as it contains...

(This is long overdue but I will still blog it anyway) Did you know that its easier for a Martyr to become a saint than for a blogger to be canonized? That is indeed a fact. Ironically, the more you...

This week has been my hardest week ever, knowing that days from now I will be embarking a new challenge in my life. My heart yearns to stay where I am, in my comfort zone yet I must abide where...

My summer of 2008 wouldn’t be the same without playing with my dogs. Aside from tigers, eagles and dolphins which I love in the animal world, dogs are the closest animals to my heart among the domesticated animals. I grew...

Ever since we moved here in this somewhat secluded part of the city where air is still fresh and green vegetation abounds, my life have mustered peace. Before when I used to live in the very center of commerce, I...

It’s been a wonderful year of 2007 and everything that transpired has a purpose, a goal and an objective that we sometimes do not understand yet in hindsight we see the wisdom of it all. Looking back on those twelve...

Have I told you that I am a sucker for Martin Nievera? His voice is so powerful, so high pitched that even if he screams at the top of his lungs, he can still manage to swoop down to recover...

Last April I had a wish. One month before my birthday I had this secret wish on my mind of acquiring a new digicam to use for my amateur photography (I’m currently using my Phone cam). My birthday came and...

I had an experiment. It is a trivial experiment but the result was overwhelming. For four years, my primary picture in friendster displayed my recent picture. You saw me: big nose, scarred cheeks and forehead, bloated face and has very...

Yesterday, I was watching the television while I was babysitting my 6-year-old nephew who happens to be home alone in their house. Until I briefly surfed, a showbiz oriented talk show flashing a ticker line below the screen: “Meryl and...

It was an ordinary day for me. Everyone seems so busy. People going in and out of shopping malls, groceries, delis and wet markets: all chasing the New Year rush. But me? I stayed home. Well I’m alone in this...

Two storms have passed my time of being alone. The first one ransacked my home on the last week of September. The Hurricane Xangse (Milenyo in Philippine Area of Responsibility) flooded three of our rooms in the house, the kitchen...

I start my day with a little prayer coming from a long and pleasurable sleep, waking up every morning and thanking God for another chance to become human again and better myself with the coming day’s challenge. I take either...

We had our pilgrimage today with our 4th year pioneers in the University. We went to at least 11 churches and religious sites to pray for their intentions for the board exam. Of course, you would presume that it wasn’t...

Did you ever feel that you are not alone in this world inconsiderate of spiritual existence and presence of another being hoolabaloo? What I’m saying is, did you ever feel as if you have copycats tied at the end of...

Middle of my siesta, a friend sent me an SMS message. Dude, I’m bitter right now, Kyla started dating somebody, I’m going crazy here. I continued the SMS exchange, until he finally ended the conversation with a suicidal tone. Knowing...

I woke up today with tears in my eyes. I dreamt something tragic. From time to time, when I turn on my suppression (a conscious defense mechanism of intentionally excluding forbidden ideas and anxiety producing situations; a voluntary forgetting or...

Today the whole city of Lucena is alive with revelry, music and laughter. Everyone on the main street is enjoying the festive aura. Especially those who are into live shows… (huh???) and live bands. Yes, while many city dwellers are...
