Nurturing an Illicit Affair

April 26, 2005
By

She is having an affair with a married man. That is how it sounded to me. Though no details were given (just reading between the lines), I can sense she is into it already. She said she is happy with the way things are, content of what is there, not asking for more. She told me she does not have the guts yet to tell me what she wanted to tell me. In time,...

When the Going Gets Tough

April 25, 2005
By

What would you do when the turn of events did not work as expected? And people are relying on you? My initial reaction most of the time is to panic silently. Then I shut myself off from the world and ponder alone. The trouble with me is I cannot concentrate with noise around and be able to come up with a solution if people are buzzing endlessly. I face the problem squarely in a...

Sing Me a Song

April 20, 2005
By

I love music. It is like therapy. Tunes make me happy or sad, depending on their agreement to my mood. There had been a time when my passion to books was switched to my obsession to music. Probably the lack of ready cash could be traced as one of the culprits. I could listen to music anywhere anytime unlike books which you could not readily have when you do not have cash or ready...

A Leader should be the First One In and the Last One Out

April 17, 2005
By

We were a little late this morning to church. We managed to take a seat on a pew where there is no fan to ventilate us. They must have had it repaired because last week it was not working. There are other late comers. Actually, some came when Father Buddy was delivering his sermon already. That is the part that we would not afford to miss. We truly delight in listening to the homily....

Square Peg in a Round Hole

April 15, 2005
By

It is common scenario in workplaces that a superior resigns, or an employee is promoted, or an applicant is hired. These are inherent in a system. That is, we ordinarily deal with these procedures in our work environs. What is frustrating sometimes or most of the time (depending on the management style) is the genre that is chosen – incompetent, inefficient, unskilled, lacking, incapable, senseless bunch of square pegs in round holes. Employee dreams...

Di Ko Inakala

April 14, 2005

Noong nakaraan, ikinuwento ko ang pagigiging matatakutin ni Daryl. Pero ngayon, ang katapangan naman niya ang ikukwento ko na di ko inakala.Noong nakaraang linggo ay nabuo na sa isip ko na ipaalala kay Papsie ang tungkol sa pagpapatuli ni Daryl. Binanggit ko ito nang matatapos na ang linggo. Sabi ni Papsie, malamang daw na sa Martes ng susunod na linggo dahil coding ang sasakyan. Hindi rin pala pwede dahil pupunta si Daryl Jules sa...

What Age Do Boys Need to Be Circumcised?

April 13, 2005
By

My 12 year-old son was insistent before after graduating from elementary to be circumcised before the start of high school. That was last year, and he was only 11 then (he started early). He was anxious that he would be branded supot if his classmates would know. I asked him how it would be known. He answered that they might touch it and from that would determine he was not circumcised yet. Calmly, I...

When Admiration Becomes Fatal

April 11, 2005
By

We could not avoid appreciating unique qualities other individuals have. We appreciate the slender body physique of a friend who does not even exert an effort to work out. We recognize the silky complexion that God has bestowed to an acquaintance. We wonder at the richness of ideas a colleague has in expressing his opinions during a board meeting. We are in awe of how eloquent an exposition was written by a stranger in...
