A cousin who happens to be a friend also is so kind to send me this: Don’t tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but the Nestle Man will know! YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH This is pretty neat. DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute . Work this out as you read . Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it...
One evening, the family watched DVD. It was Alicia Keys. She is one of my kids’ favorites. And is becoming my favorite, too. I find in her songs lyrics that touch the soul. After all, she is a soul musician. One of her songs, Streets of New York (City Life), has some sort of narration that in part says: Why not fly? Why not try? This constant games to stay high But all is...
Mothers are human beings, too. They are not superheroes. But they are multiskilled, multitalented, and almost omniscient. Mothers know best, so they say. Mothers are revered all over the world because of their unconditional love, of their undying service, and of their unquestionable loyalty. They have many labels, each uniquely adapted by each loving child, or husband, or friend. Fathers cannot even dispute the respect and admiration for them. But some mothers fail, too,...
Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fancy. Just a simple celebration. I prepared tuna pasta, wheat bread, and turbo broiled chicken for the evening meal. Oh, we also had Rango VII and Tres Cepas. Backup supply is scarce. Good thing Papsie’s friends brought nilagang pata ng baboy and carbonara. Papsie cooked the leftover tuna and made a variation of tuna omelet which they so love. We also had peanuts which we bought from a nine-year...
In almost every sleep, I dream. Even during short naps in the afternoon, I also dream. Most of them are about people and the way I feel towards them. There are times I would wake up crying because of a dream about someone who is dying, or inside a casket. This someone has the face of another person that is also closely related to me. And I wake up crying because of the pain...
How time flies. I don’t feel I worry about what is to happen the next day. But suddenly, I am wishing that we could have immortality, if that will mean to be young forever. Not that I wanted to preserve any beauty that I have, but to be physically healthy and strong. With health and strength, one can do almost anything. When a body is in good condition, there would be no pain and...
I was told that the theme song for newly weds is Luwalhati sa Diyos (Glory to God). For those married for a few years will be Panginoon, Maawa Ka (Lord, Have Mercy) and for those married for decades, the theme song is Kunin Mo, O Diyos (Take, O Lord). It's a joke from our parish priest after learning that we had been husband-and-wife for seventeen (17) years. He approached me and asked how’s the...
Warning: This contains subject matter that parents may find unsuitable for younger children to read. I read from a tabloid newspaper (which I forgot the name) that men are very sensitive about sexual issues, even in the privacy of a room with their mate. A woman partner cannot casually tell her partner that he could not bring her to orgasm, or that he should do this instead of that, or simply, that he should...
Tell me. Do you feel happy now being in the same situation, doing the same routine, and going through the familiar activities and events? Are you smug enough to change the situation, modify the routine, or hold back for a moment and just let the day go by not attempting to change the familiar activities and events? Or… Do you hate smelling the same smell, seeing the same place, savor the same food, or...
