Turning a New Chapter: Re-igniting the Passion
Chapter 3 Today is my birthday. And I have a theme for the coming year. Love, travel and passion. It is time to move on and focus on what I want so badly for my life . As with every year, my birthday is celebrated in a modest way. No booze, no party hats and balloons,...
A Brand New Me for 2014
New Life, New Me The year has ended, and once more, we put our pens (or our laptops for that matter) and try to write down the goals we want to set for the new year. As I said in my New Year’s post last year, I am not the type who writes down goals. Not really in that...
Finding Purpose Among the Ruins
I have drafted this post a week after I left Tacloban for Manila post-Haiyan. But I just didn’t really had the urgency to post this, maybe I was just waiting for the right time. I realized, this is the perfect time to post this, as this is about finding a purpose or...

Days of Terror: The Aftermath Day 1

Days of Terror: The Onslaught

Days of Terror: Surviving Typhoon Yolanda’s Wrath
I am alive. Yes, it feels so good to be alive. I am a survivor of the worst and strongest typhoon ever to hit land in this lifetime, Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan). I survived the typhoon, or better yet, she spared me and my family from her deadly wrath. For whatever...
The Little Boy Next Door
Photo: jobspapa.com It's 1243 am and that boy next door has been crying for almost an hour. And then the cries just went louder, and I can hear the mother shouting, "Inaano ka? Inaano ka?" ("What's with you?") But the boy kept crying saying "ayoko, ayoko!" ("No. No. I...

Exploring the Uncommon: Featuring Blogs Written By Men
It's not usual that I read a blog written by a man. Most blogs by men write topics about their businesses, their skills, photography or something that they are into, sports, music or the most common of all, games, cheats and walkthroughs. And then there are blogs that...
