The Quiet Notes
Make the Most Out of Your Blog
I have always loved writing, and so when blogging was "invented", I was glad because it became a medium for us "wannabe writers" to practice our craft. Personally, I started blogging just for the sole purpose of writing, of putting my thoughts into words, and most...
Drama Culture: The Emotional Filipino
Life is a big soap opera, in the eyes of the Filipinos, so to speak. It's so amazing to find a non-Filipino fall in love with my country. ( I mean, there are plenty of my fellow Filipinos who have fallen out of love with our country.) I stumbled upon Nathan Allen's...
X-Men: Days of Future Past
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...
Memories of Old Tacloban: Six Months After Haiyan
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...

10 Things I Learned About Love from Paulo Coelho
Photo:raftulcuidei.ro I love reading Paulo Coelho's books. They have a certain kind of wisdom that I feel I can relate and can practice to in life. The last book I finished about a week ago was "By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept". I know that this has...
Carrie, Oh Carrie !
I had the opportunity to watch SATC 2 on tv and I realized how much I missed the characters. My favorite character of course is Carrie, but I find Samantha's sex life juicier. I remember a friend of mine got so obsessed and related so much to the movie that she...
The Many Faces of Lent: Finding The Good in Good Friday
Lent is a very big celebration for us Catholic Christians because this is the commemoration of the passion of Jesus, His death and resurrection. Throughout the Philippines, we may have different ways of celebrating or commemorating Lent, but the message is still the...

To Forgive Is To Be Free
In connection to my previous post about letting go, I think that one of the ways that we can let go is to forgive. I have written so much about forgiveness, because I believe, based on my personal experience, that unless we forgive, we lose too much. But forgiving is...
The Fear of Letting Go
Lent is over. So I am back to blogging. But what I would like to blog about are my experiences in attending the life-changing Let Go Recollection which I religiously attended for three days. If everything else in our life is not going in the direction that we...
Just Wear the Dress (Bringing Out the Eve in Me)
One of my frustrations is being a fashionista, that is, in the sense of always trying to go with what’s “in” in the fashion industry. I have tried to be one, at some point, but I really thought and felt deep down, that it really wasn’t me. I just didn’t have the...
