I am so excited with the upcoming movie X-Men: Days of Future Past. But I have someone who is more excited than me. My son! He is just four years old but you bet he could name all the characters. I am amazed at how he does it, but I guess watching too much of it would...
It’s been six months after Haiyan struck my hometown Leyte, and the thought of it still makes me sad. It’s been a while since I last cried over something, because I have a habit of suppressing it. I don’t want to be seen as weak. But tonight, I won’t stop myself from...

Updated post--Scorll down to the bottom part if you want to watch the interview of a woman who DID and has 11 different personalities. What would you do if a loved-one suffers from mental health problems? Or worse, what would you do if you start suffering from it? Are...
A note before you start — this piece mentions suicide and a period when I was in a very bad way. If that's not something you can hold today, please skip it; there'll be another post. If you're struggling right now, the NCMH Crisis Hotline is 1553 (free, any landline)...
